Chapter 47: Distinguished Guest
As soon as the sky was cleared, Cheng Shaomu returned to the Pingyuan Hou Mansion. He didn't come back alone, he brought a distinguished guest with him.
Mrs. Cheng in the backyard received the news, and her heart was both happy and worried.
I was happy that my son was back, but I was worried that Shen Xiu was lost, and she didn't know how to say it.
"Mrs. doesn't have to worry too much, just said that Shen Xiu ran away by herself, doesn't the uncle still believe you." The fortune family said.
Shen Xiu is missing, no one is alive, no body is dead.
After worrying for two days, she suddenly found that this was a good thing, the thorn in her eye was finally dead, the Shen family who had wronged her back then were dead, and there was nothing happier than this.
"Alas......" Mrs. Cheng sighed, she didn't think that such a statement could appease Cheng Shaomu.
But Shen Xiu has disappeared, where can she find someone.
And Shen Xiu is indeed a trouble, the more he stays, the more troublesome he becomes, and now that he is missing, it may not be a bad thing in the long run.
"The kitchen has been prepared, and I heard from the housekeeper's daughter-in-law that the uncle also brought a friend back." Zhou Xijia reminded Mrs. Cheng, "I have ordered someone to clean up the front study and let the guests stay temporarily." β
Mrs. Cheng nodded when she heard this, and said, "You are thoughtful, it is rare for Shaomu to bring a friend back, so say hello." β
"Yes." Zhou Xi's response.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard footsteps at the door. Without waiting for the girl to open the curtain, Cheng Shaomu picked up the curtain and entered the door, followed by a young man.
The two entered the house one after the other, and Cheng Shaomu stepped forward to salute: "Say hello to my mother, I have been away from home for a long time, which makes my mother worried." β
"Okay, okay." Mrs. Cheng said with joy on her face.
Just as he was about to say more, his eyes swept to the young man beside Cheng Shaomu, and he was immediately stunned on the spot.
A young man in his early twenties, with a long body and a jade face, like a crown of jade, and as bright as a peach and plum. not only compared Cheng Shaomu, but also the entire Qingyang, and even the sons and brothers of the entire Great Zhou.
"You, you ......" Mrs. Cheng was stunned on the spot.
It's not that the young man's beauty is too stunning for her, but his appearance is very similar to his father in memory.
Although too much time has passed, my father's appearance is really memorable. The arrival of the young man reminded her instantly.
"Shen Yue visits his aunt." Shen Yue stepped forward to salute, his voice was slightly magnetic and hoarse, and he had the temperament of a nobleman between his gestures.
Mrs. Cheng's eyes widened, and she said incredulously: "You, you are Shen Yue?" β
The sister-in-law of the Shen family and the elder brother of Shen Xiu.
But back then, the Shen family was purged, and at Shen Yue's age, it was impossible to survive.
Even if you are lucky to really survive, you should also hide your name, and it is really unexpected that such a bright and bright appearance will appear.
"Mrs. Cheng don't worry, I am neither a fugitive prisoner, nor an official slave." Shen Yue said with a smile, but the title in his mouth had changed.
Mrs. Cheng was still in a daze, and said to herself: "This, what's going on......"
Back then, the Shen family was punished by the Nine Clans, and it was possible for a side branch to escape. But a sister-in-law like Shen Yue will never have a way to live.
"I heard Cheng Shizi say that my little sister has to be taken in by your mansion, and I want to meet her." Shen Yue went straight to the point.
Cheng Shaomu next to him also felt very embarrassed, Mrs. Cheng's reaction was not the slightest excitement, but more like wishing that something had happened to Shen Yue. turned his head and instructed the mother-in-law next to him: "Go and listen to Fengxuan pass my sister over." β
The mother-in-law's face was strange, and she couldn't help but look at Mrs. Cheng.
Shen Yue noticed that something was wrong, and his eyes narrowed: "Since she is my sister, I naturally want to take her away, and ask Mrs. Pingyuan Hou to return my sister to me." β
"I'm ......," Mrs. Cheng squeaked suddenly.
This kind of Shen Yue made her feel a little scared and a little weak-hearted.
I thought it would be good to just face Cheng Shaomu, but I didn't expect to suddenly kill a Shen Yue.
Alas, how could it be so unfortunate that Shen Xiu had been in the mansion all the time, and suddenly disappeared at this time.
"Mother, what's wrong?" Cheng Shaomu's face became serious, "Isn't my sister in the house?" β
"She ......" Mrs. Cheng paused, and felt that she couldn't go on.
It was mainly Shen Yue's expression that made her feel very dangerous.
"She ran away." The interface of the Fucai family said, only thinking that he had relieved Mrs. Cheng, "Uncle doesn't know, this girl has a big heart and is very wild." took advantage of the fact that the eldest grandmother sent her out, so she secretly ran away, and her wife looked for her for a long time, but she didn't find it at all. β
"Nonsense!!" Cheng Shaomu roared out, and his face changed completely. stepped forward and approached the Fucai family and asked, "What about my sister, where did you get her?" β
The Fucai family was frightened, subconsciously took two steps back, and said, "She, she's really ...... I ran away ......"
"I'm very good at acting." Suddenly, with a sneer and mockery, it came from Shen Yue.
Cheng Shaomu was anxious in his heart, but he had to turn his head and explain to Shen Yue: "Big brother, don't be in a hurry, wait for me to ask carefully." β
"Heh~~" Shen Yue smiled coldly, obviously not believing Cheng Shaomu's words, but he didn't refute it, just watched quietly.
Although the Fucai family was not lightly frightened by Cheng Shaomu, she still didn't take Shen Yue seriously in her heart.
She didn't have Mrs. Cheng's thoughts in her head, in her opinion, the Shen family was finished, Shen Xiu was an official slave, and Shen Yue was also an official slave.
An official slave dares to shout like this, which is really against the sky.
Although he didn't shout, he glared at Shen Yue fiercely.
Just at a glance, I saw Shen Yue's face sinking like water. Although his face is like a crown of jade, at this moment, he is like a hellish Shura, which makes people look at it coldly.
Zhou Xijia didn't want to interject, but at this time he had to step forward and say, "Uncle, nephew and young master are angry." β
"Sister-in-law Zhou, you have always felt sorry for your sister, come and say, what's going on?" Cheng Shaomu asked.
Zhou Xijia's face was solemn, and he said, "A few days ago, the eldest grandmother sent Miss Shen to the Tao family to pick up things. But halfway through, Miss Shen was robbed. These days, my wife has been sending people to look for her, but there is no news. β
"What??" Cheng Shaomu was shocked, "My sister has always been at home, how could she be robbed?" β
Zhou Xijia bowed his head and was silent, Cheng Shaomu was not stupid, and told him that it was a coincidence, but he was afraid that it would be difficult to be trusted.
"Alas, I have sent someone to find it." Mrs. Cheng sighed and said, "Qingyang City is not big, but it is a lot smaller, and it takes time to find someone." β
Cheng Shaomu said: "Grandma sent my sister to Tao's house? Where is she, I have something to ask her. β
He already knew about the family making him the master to marry Tao. But for this wife, I have never seen it, and I have no intention of falling in love.
"Grandma has been at home all the time, and it's easy to pass on her questions." Mrs. Cheng said, "But you just came back, so let's rest for a while and eat, and it's not too late to ask slowly." β
"I'm in a hurry, where have I waited." Cheng Shaomu said, turned around and instructed the mother-in-law beside him: "Call grandma." β
The mother-in-law seemed a little at a loss, not knowing whether to go or not, and just looked at Mrs. Cheng.
Mrs. Cheng was extremely helpless in her heart, but she said: "Today, when you take the distinguished guests back to the house, even if you are not tired, the guests are also tired." Let's ask again after the break. β
Shen Yue's identity is strange, and his coming is even stranger.
Interrogating Dow in front of him, if Dow says something brainless, it will end even harder.
Tao is just not good, the so-called family ugliness should not be publicized, and Shen Yue must be sent away to ask Tao again.
"It turns out that Mrs. Pingyuan Houfu is guarding against me." Shen Yue smiled and arched his hand: "Farewell." β
After speaking, Shen Yue turned around and left.
"Big brother!" Cheng Shaomu stepped forward to stop him and said, "Mother didn't mean that, please go to the guest room to rest first, and I will give you an explanation for this matter." β
Shen Yue smiled: "No, I'll find this explanation myself." β
After speaking, Shen Yue pushed Cheng Shaomu away and left.
"Big brother!!"
Cheng Shaomu stretched out his hand to pull him, but Shen Yue waved his sleeves away and strode away.
"Alas......" Cheng Shaomu couldn't help but sigh.
Mrs. Cheng was full of curiosity and said, "How did you meet Shen Yue, he came to you?" What is he doing now? β
With such a similar appearance, she had no doubts about Shen Yue's identity.
But Cheng Shaomu has never seen his grandfather, although Shen Yue and Shen Xiu are both beauties, their looks are different.
Shen Yue is like a grandfather, but Shen Xiu is like a mother.
It stands to reason that Cheng Shaomu and Shen Yue should not know each other. It was such a coincidence that the two recognized each other outside, and she was always a little suspicious.
"I met my eldest brother in Kaiyang, and he was doing business in Kaiyang." Cheng Shaomu said simply, he was thinking about Shen Xiu at this time, and he didn't want to answer this, so he urged: "Isn't the eldest grandmother here yet." β
The Fucai family took advantage of the situation and said: "Uncle Mo has been deceived, the Shen family has been wiped out, and all the men have been killed." He is alive, at least he should be an official slave, how can he do business. β
"I don't know the details, but since he can use his real name to drive a boat, he is definitely not an official slave." Cheng Shaomu said.
Shen Yue is the boss of Kaiyang's largest shipping company, HSBC Shipping Company, with more than a dozen large ships and countless sailors.
He went to Kaiyang this time to find a partner and find HSBC Shipping. Unexpectedly, when he talked about the old days with Shen Yue, he turned out to be a big relative and friend.
Later, when Shen Yue learned that Shen Xiu was still alive and was in the Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion, Shen Yue was very happy and became kind to him.
The most important reason for coming to Qingyang with him is Shen Xiu.
"Uncle is still too gullible to be gullible." The Fucai family said, looked at Mrs. Cheng and said, "The Shen family was wiped out by the Nine Clans back then, and all the men were killed. Now one pops up out of nowhere, either impersonating or ...... Fugitive. According to me, it's better to report to the official first. If he is really an innocent businessman, it will be fine. If it is a fugitive, we can also avoid suspicion. β
"Don't talk nonsense." Cheng Shaomu said, "I went to Kaiyang Yamen to confirm that the identity of the eldest brother is indeed as he said. β
The Shen family also uses their real names, but they are innocent civilians.
It seems that the turmoil of the Shen family did not affect him at all.
"But ......," Mrs. Cheng couldn't help but worry.
Although her surname is Shen, the Shen family treats her badly at all. She didn't take any advantage, the Shen family was unlucky, and she must not be affected.
Although the Fucai family is not very smart, this time the suggestion is good.
If Shen Yue was really a fugitive, wouldn't it affect her.
Cheng Shaomu looked very impatient and said, "Mother, I have my own measure in this matter, don't interfere." And about my sister, are you really not hiding it from me? β
"What do I have to hide from you." Mrs. Cheng said, "Although I don't like that girl, but after all these years, I can tolerate it, so why drive her away at this time." β
Cheng Shaomu was silent for a moment, such a design to abduct Shen Xiu was indeed not like what Mrs. Cheng did.
Could it be Dow?
He didn't believe that Shen Xiu would take the initiative to leave, as for robbing people on the street, Qingyang's security has always been okay.
It couldn't be so coincidental that it happened to rob Shen Xiu's head. Especially this time, Shen Xiu went out by car, not alone.
"Big grandma is coming......"
