Chapter 70: The Origin of the Li and Du Families
It's bloody! Chu Yunfei and Hu Ji looked at Ping'er in surprise. The infatuated woman's negative heart will appear every day, but in order to live a worry-free life, it is shocking to let his fiancée commit herself to an old man in his fifties! And Ping'er is willing to do such a dirty thing for such a person, which is even more sad. Chu Yunfei couldn't understand how a woman like her, who was literate and outstanding, could do such a stupid thing? No matter what kind of person that man is, since she was asked to do such a thing, her motives must be impure. He looked back at the orchid and saw sympathy, pity, and a little more complex in her eyes.
Chu Yunfei quickly got rid of this emotion, he had to find out Niu Er's identity first, as well as Ping'er's background. This check doesn't matter, it really surprised him, Niu Er was born in a scholarly family, and his real name is not Niu Er, but Niu Jiaxing. This guy is an ambitious careerist, and after he failed to take the road of the imperial examination, he started to use his crooked brains, and once trafficked illicit salt and went to the border to sell horses. He does have a fiancée, but it's not Ping'er, it's Du Rui, the daughter of Du Yuanwai who was kidnapped before! Du Rui's mother is Du Yuanwai's eldest lady Zhang. Although Niu Jiaxing and Du Rui have long had a marriage contract, the Zhang family thinks that the Niu family is now poor and unwilling to let their daughter marry Niu Jiaxing. In order to make him retreat, she made a request two months ago, that is, to ask for five thousand taels of silver as a dowry, otherwise she would regret the marriage. And Niu Jiaxing is very likely to take risks for this reason.
Things had taken a dramatic turn at this point, and when Chu Yunfei informed Ping'er of the results of the investigation, her emotions collapsed almost instantly. She thought they were lying to themselves. While investigating Niu Er, he asked Yingchun to rush to Du's house to get the love token of Du Rui and Niu Jiaxing, and at the same time asked her to inform the eldest son and wife of the Du family to rush to Meixiang Xiaozhu as soon as possible, so as to cooperate with their further investigation.
Ping'er was dumbfounded, and then she realized that she was just a chess piece used by Niu Jiaxing, and even the identity of his down-and-out son was forged. Only then did she reveal her identity: she was indeed an orphan, who grew up in a nunnery outside the city, copying scriptures in the nunnery all day long, and sometimes following the teachers and wives out to administer medicine. A year ago, the teacher who adopted her passed away, and she couldn't bear the loneliness, so she escaped from the nunnery inside, wanting to see this world of flowers. In order to support himself, he went to a restaurant to do chores. A few months ago, she met Niu Er, who was drunk and sorrowful, in the restaurant. After Niu Er claimed to be a family, he was calculated by the villain, so he fell to this point. The two of them have the same background, so they quickly became good friends, and Niu Eryi's talent made her admire even more. So she tied all her heart to him. Ping'er had no quarrel with the world, and she couldn't see the so-called human feelings and sinister hearts in the world, but she simply fantasized about the future of her and Niu Er. Who would have thought that when she proposed to marry Niu Er and find a small mountain village to live a quiet life, Niu Er proposed to earn a lot of money, only then can she live a worry-free life forever. So, under his arrangement, four months ago, Ping'er entered the Li family and soon became the concubine of Li Dashanren. However, for Ping'er, she is kind-natured, not a greedy person, and has no concept of money. At first, she only occasionally handed over a few pieces of jewelry given to her by Li Dashanren.
This made Niu Er very dissatisfied, and asked her to take more gold and silver treasures. But Li Dashan was really not as generous as they imagined, even on the day she was accepted as a concubine, he did not give the real money to the woman who pretended to be her aunt. But Ping'er is becoming more and more accustomed to the rich life where clothes come to reach out and food to open her mouth. Niu Er was afraid that things would get out of control, so he came up with a very clever way - kidnapping Li Dashanren. This is the fastest way to get money. Next, as she mentioned earlier, the situation is the same. It's just that I didn't expect Niu Er, that is, Niu Jiaxing, to run away.
After Ping'er said this, she looked at Chu Yunfei with a righteous and awe-inspiring attitude, and sighed, "Actually, I have heard of the name of Master Chu, and when I heard him say that the eldest lady went to find Master Chu, I had a bad feeling. I didn't think I really fell into your hands. If you want to kill, you can scrape whatever you want. Anyway, for me now, it's better to be alive than dead. ”
Her attitude made Chu Yunfei even more embarrassed. Now is not the time to dwell on this matter, it is the most important thing to find Niu Jiaxing as soon as possible and find out the whereabouts of Li Dashan.
Just when he was worried, Du Yuanwai's eldest lady Zhang and the eldest son of the Du family had already arrived in Meixiang Xiaozhu, and the purpose of their coming here was not only to inquire about Du Yuanwai's situation, but also to probe Chu Yunfei's tone, after all, Jia Yuanwai, the first kidnapped person, had already returned.
Seeing Ping'er, the eldest son of the Du family was stunned for a moment, and pointed at her for a long time but did not say a word.
"You know?" Chu Yunfei looked at Du Gongzi suspiciously.
Du Gongzi was very hesitant, as if he was trying to remember something. After a long time, he exclaimed, "I remembered!" I've seen her, in Fan Lou! I once saw her in Fan Lou. It seems like she'......"
"You must have recognized the wrong person." The Zhang family glared at the eldest prince dissatisfied, "He is the concubine of Li Dashan, and he is also the sixth lady of the Li family. When they got married, we also received a wedding card. Why is she here? Is it also for the sake of Li Dashanren's affairs? ”
Chu Yunfei didn't answer, and took out Niu Jiaxing and Du Rui's love tokens. Zhang remembered the purpose of coming here, and said with a smile: "That girl left in too much hurry, I haven't asked her what she wants to do with such a thing?" Could it be...... Is this kid from the Niu family related to any case? I knew he wasn't a good thing. ”
"Do you want him to be involved in any case?" Chu Yunfei asked rhetorically. He knew that the question was very scathing, but he didn't think that such a woman should be treated very politely.
Zhang sighed: "Then I don't know." I'm telling you, that kid...... You only have to look at it to know that he's definitely not a good thing. At the beginning, there were too many things to do, so I had to refer to what kind of doll pro, but now it's good! He just refused to get out of the marriage! Rui'er is my daughter, and I don't want her to suffer if she marries. But this scoundrel dared to say that he would let my daughter live a good life with him. In fact, it's not that I like our Du family's money, my daughter's marriage, even if it is not a mountain of gold and silver, but it will definitely make them two and a half lives without worrying about eating and drinking! By the way, Young Master Chu, that young lady said that you let us come here for a very important matter, what is the matter?"
The purpose of letting them come here is because Niu Jiaxing has no relatives in the capital, and the only one he can rely on is his future father-in-law, Lord Du Yuanwai. Now that his whereabouts are unknown, he will inevitably ask the Du family for help, at least to find his fiancée Du Rui, so he wants the Zhang family and Du Gongzi to help him. They said yes very happily.
Ping'er has been silently guarding the side, and she has written down their conversations word for word. For her, the truth is far more cruel than torture, but she didn't expect Niu Jiaxing to be acting from beginning to end, and he had no intention of marrying her at all. Hu Ji realized that she was a little out of shape, so she didn't bother to say hello to Chu Yunfei, and helped her to the backyard.
