Chapter 345: Night Meeting
At night, all parts of the Yongning Marquis Mansion were already lit up.
The sky was a little gloomy tonight, and a bright moon was blocked behind the clouds, revealing a faint shimmer.
Everyone looked at the sky outside and speculated that tomorrow might change.
Xu didn't ask An Sheng to go over to ask, but on the eve of dinner, he sent Pan Xia to Yushengju and sent An Sheng a dish.
An Sheng didn't feel much about this.
To be honest, Xu didn't ask her to go, but she felt better.
When talking to Xu, you always have to pay attention everywhere, and you are really tired and panicked.
Now that Xu himself doesn't see her, it's not a good thing.
She also understands that there are too many things today, and the Xu family doesn't have too much energy to summon her again, otherwise, she will definitely be called over for questioning.
At the very least, ask yourself how well you get along with the Duchess of the Protectorate.
Xu likes to have everything under her control, she understands.
This can be seen from the fact that although he didn't ask himself to go over to ask, he still asked Mama Xu to meet with Mrs. Lu in private.
However, Mrs. Lu's knowledge is limited, and she is not afraid of Mama Xu inquiring.
What she has to do now is to find the "truth" of the year first.
Zheng's mother was sent out by her to inquire about the news.
There are some things that it is not appropriate for her to come forward.
It just so happens that these things in the house have always been inquired about by Zheng's mother, Zheng's mother has her own methods, and she is also thoughtful and vigilant, she is not worried that it will leak out.
The main thing is that ordinary people now would not have thought that she would investigate the things of the year.
After all, when she was assigned to Zhuangzi, she was still a child who didn't understand anything.
It is precisely because of this that the Fang family and the Xu family have never deliberately guarded themselves in this matter.
It's not that I'm defenseless, but I don't think I'm taking myself seriously.
In their opinion, how can a child like herself, who needs to be dependent on them to survive, want to "overturn the case" for her biological mother who has never even met her?
In this way, the more they let their guard down, the more convenient it will be for them to investigate the events of the year.
Just after the end of the day, Zheng's mother returned.
Most of the rest of the people went back to the house to rest, An Sheng rarely left people on duty at night, of course, she would not rest assured that those mothers-in-law and maids would be on duty at night.
Unless necessary, she will let Zheng's mother and Qinghui take turns to be on duty at night.
Except for the four of them, the rest of the people in this courtyard, An Sheng didn't trust.
The location of Yushengju is relatively partial, so when Zheng's mother came back, the maids and women who were already "asleep" in the inverted room did not notice it at all.
Despite this, Zheng's mother still took a light step and came to the door of An Sheng's room.
There was a soft knock on the door, and it was immediately opened from the inside.
It was Qinghui who opened the door, and when she saw Zheng's mother, Qinghui immediately welcomed Zheng's mother in and asked her to go in first, while she cautiously looked out again to make sure that no one was following Zheng's mother, and then closed the door again.
In the room, Zheng's mother was telling An Sheng the news she had heard.
After all, many years have passed since the events of that year, and there are very few people who know about it in the Hou Mansion now, so it is not easy to get really useful news.
Mother Zheng didn't have much to gain tonight, but at the same time, she discovered another thing.
This incident made her feel that she needed to report it to An Sheng.
"When the slave maid came back, she saw Aunt Hong and went to the courtyard of the third lady." Zheng's mother said.
These two people, logically speaking, should not have an intersection.
The Fang family and the Song family are at odds, and Aunt Hong is considered a close confidant of the Fang family, no matter how you look at it, she shouldn't have any contact with the Song family.
However, now that the two of them are not only in contact, but also secretly in this way, if there is no shady affair between the two, Zheng's mother herself does not believe it.
"Mom is sure she's going to Songfeng Garden?" An Sheng asked.
"Sure," Zheng's mother nodded affirmatively, "Aunt Hong's whereabouts are sneaky, and she is wearing a cloak with a hood, the slave maid thinks it is strange, so she specially follows her, Aunt Hong walks on a very partial path, all of which are ordinary and rarely passed, in some places, the slave maid feels that she is the first to see each other, originally the slave and maid are still strange, so late, where is Aunt Hong going to dress up, and then I saw that Aunt Hong entered the courtyard of the third lady." ”
An Sheng pondered for a moment, nodded his head, and said, "I know, hard mother." ”
"Slaves and maids are not hard, but, miss, shall we keep an eye on them?" Mother Zheng's words are naturally referring to Aunt Hong and the Song family.
An Sheng thought for a while and said, "Mom looks at it carefully, the two of them have never had much contact, and now that they suddenly have a connection, there must be something that we don't know." ”
"Miss, don't worry, the slave will pay attention." Mother Zheng replied.
"By the way, pay more attention to Gu Anya's side." An Sheng still suspects that there is something else wrong with Gu Anya's beating today.
But she can't be sure now, what is this strange, and what is the reason for Aunt Hong's contact with the Song family.
However, she always felt that Aunt Hong's contact with the Song family was inseparable from Gu Anya.
"The slave knows." After Zheng's mother responded to An Sheng's words, she bowed and retreated.
And not long after Zheng's mother left, a person wearing a stone blue cloak also came out of Songfeng Garden.
It was too dark, and the moonlight was unclear tonight, and the man was wearing a hood, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but he could vaguely see from his figure that it should be a woman.
And this woman is none other than Aunt Hong, who was seen by Zheng's mother.
Aunt Hong was personally sent by Lan Ying, the eldest girl of the Song family.
After the two of them gestured at the gate of Songfeng Garden, they didn't say anything and quickly separated.
Under the cover of the night, Aunt Hong tightened the cloak on her body and returned along the way she came.
Soon, she returned to Luofeng Xuan.
As soon as I went back, I saw Xiuqin beside my daughter anxiously turning around the door of the room.
"Xiuqin!" Aunt Hong walked over quickly and whispered.
Xiuqin heard her voice, and hurriedly stopped, her eyes lit up slightly, "Auntie, you can come back, Miss is in a hurry, you can go in quickly." ”
As he spoke, he looked around cautiously.
Aunt Hong pulled down her hood and asked Xiuqin, "Mother Zhao, aren't they suspicious?" ”
"Mother Zhao drank the sweet soup served by the slave maid, and went to bed early and died, I don't know, don't worry, auntie." Xiuqin replied in a low voice.
When Aunt Hong heard Xiuqin say this, she was completely relieved and pushed the door into her daughter's room.
Gu Anya was able to live with her in Luofeng Xuan, and she also had to thank the Fang family for her "kindness".
Of course, the Fang clan would not be kind to their mother and daughter for no reason.
The reason why this is so is because he still has some use, and he is still loyal.
