Chapter 344. Zhugu's statement
All the next problems need to be discovered by Chu Yunfei himself. He looked at Mei Yingxue, and couldn't help but smile in his heart: Mei Yingxue was more serious than before, and when she intervened in the case in the past, Mei Yingxue always played the role of strategizing. It's really rare to go into battle in person, and it seems that the power of love is really great. Since this is the case, Mei Yingxue cannot be disappointed. He looked around again, knowing the general layout of the place, so he decided to ask Zhu Gu about it.
"Does your young lady go out alone on weekdays?" Without waiting for Chu Yunfei to speak, Mei Yingxue took the lead in asking.
Zhu Gu glanced at him coldly, shook her head and said, "I don't know, I usually serve the lord and lady in the front yard, where can I take care of the back." But look at ......."
Speaking of this, Zhu Gu came to the railing and pointed to the west side of the embroidery building, where a separate passage was set aside to lead directly to the front and back yards, and a small door was opened at each courtyard gate, and Zhu Gu continued: "You have probably heard that there are occasional fires in this city. When this yard was first built, our family was afraid of a fire, and the whole family had nowhere to hide, so he left a corner gate in the backyard alone. Who knows if she'll get out the back door, Miss? It would not be easy for her to go out through the front door, and besides, our lord had always forbade her to go out. ”
Mei Yingxue was obviously not satisfied with her answer, but there was no way to wink at Chu Yunfei.
"Do your wives occasionally come here to sit? I mean when Miss Feng was alive? Chu Yunfei spoke tentatively.
"No, no. This is Miss Feng's private territory, how could our wife come up? Zhu Gu denied it, as if she was afraid that Chu Yunfei would not believe it, so she hurriedly shook her head and said.
"Oh?" Chu Yunfei lengthened his voice meaningfully, and Zhu Gu lied. But at the moment, he didn't want to expose her lies. "What about the others? For example, those ladies who occasionally come to the Feng family as guests? ”
"Yes, how could it not be? For example, Miss Feng's grandmother's daughter. Like saying a tongue twister, Zhugu said coldly.
Feng Yuanwai actually has dealings with the maiden family of his predecessor Mrs. Feng? No wonder Mrs. Mei said that Feng Yuanwai is a person who values affection. Looking at Zhugu's appearance, she was obviously not satisfied with this. In this way, it can also explain why there is a guest room in Miss Feng's boudoir, which is a person who is related to her biological mother. Chu Yunfei deliberately asked, "Oh? Speaking of which, the mother's family of the deceased Mrs. Feng also came here often? ”
"How can you come often? Isn't that messing around? Zhu Gu was a little dissatisfied, but she actually suppressed the anger, and after a while, she shook her head and said: "It turns out that when Miss Feng was alive, her aunt and aunt would come here to stay here for a few days every spring and autumn, and they would send her cousins and cousins to see her during the New Year's holidays. After what happened three years ago, they didn't come anymore. That's a peace of mind. ”
It seems that the entanglement between the deceased Mrs. Feng and the current Mrs. Feng has always existed when Miss Feng was alive. In any case, the stepmother is embarrassed, and presumably Mrs. Feng's life is not so easy. He leaned against the railing, and was about to speak, but for some reason the railing shook slightly. He settled down in time. Here, the front yard can be seen. I saw a man dressed in gray cloth walking by with a drooping child.
"Who's that? Why haven't you heard your master mention it before? Chu Yunfei hurriedly asked.
"That's the gentleman invited by our grandfather to teach our son-in-law to read on weekdays. The surname is Nguyen. He's only been here for a year. Zhu Gu hurriedly explained.
He looked like a young man in his early twenties, and his gray cloth clothes could not hide his brilliance. Only when walking, one leg is slightly dragging behind me, and it seems that that foot is a little inconvenient.
Chu Yunfei frowned, and before he could speak, Mei Yingxue hugged her shoulders and said, "Oh, what's going on?" Why is it a little cold when you suddenly enter this room? ”
"Maybe it's because we haven't had a resident for a long time, right?" Chu Yunfei sighed and shook his head, he knew that Mei Yingxue did it on purpose, so he followed his words.
"Yes, yes, it must be because I haven't lived there for a long time. I think in a few days, when the old man's mood calms down, this building will be demolished. Zhu Gu nodded busily and agreed.
"It's been kept here, aren't you afraid to sleep at night? You see it's so empty, and it's so quiet. Mei Yingxue's voice trembled slightly, and her eyes became a little strange.
Zhu Gu's gaze also became a little wandering, obviously this is a woman who is not so bold, she pretended to be calm and said: "Childe is also a person who has studied, how can you ...... Suddenly it became so chattering? What are you afraid of? ”
"Haven't you heard the rumors out there?" Mei Yingxue deliberately lowered her voice and said to Zhugu: "Actually, the rumors about your young lady have never been broken. Some people say that at night, they watched a woman dressed in white sitting on this railing...... You ......"
"Yike...... What nonsense are you talking about? Zhu Gu was startled, and hurriedly leaned towards Chu Yunfei, "Don't you talk nonsense?" People are scary, but they will scare people to death? You don't have anything to do, so please hurry up, right? ”
Chu Yunfei was secretly amused in his heart. Mei Yingxue's trickery is nothing more than to scare Zhu Gu and see if she can get more useful information from her. Apparently this has worked. It stands to reason that Aunt Zhu and Miss Feng should not be afraid of getting along for so long, and now such a performance does it mean something?
They were not able to get anything out of the mouths of the servants except to look at the dwellings here. Sure enough, as the book says, the old people from three years ago have almost left. It took a long time to find only a few people, and they were all rough subordinates on weekdays, and after asking for a long time, they couldn't say why, what they said was nothing more than Mrs. Feng's good treatment of Miss.
Out of the gate of the Feng family, Mei Yingxue didn't forget to look back. Chu Yunfei said helplessly: "You deliberately scared Zhu Gu, right?" So you can see that she's a little out of the ordinary, right? ”
"Yes. Her attitude was too strange. I always felt that she was interested in protecting the reputation of the Feng family. Could it be that she already regarded herself as the Feng family's housekeeper? Is she too protective of Mrs. Feng? Mei Yingxue spoke a little helplessly.
"She is defending the Feng family, that's right. But it's not necessarily to protect Mrs. Feng, I think what she cares about more is Feng Yuanwai, right? Chu Yunfei sighed leisurely.
