Chapter 12 The Red Door Inn (12) Suddenly became a guest of honor

smoothly retreated to the corridor connecting the front and back yards, and saw that it was safe to return to the front hall, at this moment, an old voice sounded behind Mo Chen and the others, "Stop!" ”

With just two words, Wang Lei felt a chill down his spine, and he quickly turned around and hid behind Zhang Zili. Mo Chen stopped and looked back, an old woman, dressed in dark blue brocade satin, wearing white flowers on her head, standing in the corridor with a coiled dragon cane, staring at them gloomily.

"Who are you?" The old woman asked.

Mo Chen coughed dryly, and took a step forward politely, "Presumably Your Excellency is Old Madam Qian!" ”

The old woman raised her eyebrows and acquiesced in a deep voice, Mo Chen continued, "We are passers-by who stayed last night, thank you for your mercy. Mo Chen said and bowed, then changed his attitude and asked, "However, the housekeeper of your mansion, Xu Da, imprisoned us for no reason, I don't know what you think, madam?" ”

"Oh?" Mrs. Qian's eyebrows frowned slightly, she was very surprised, her expression didn't look like she was pretending, she really didn't know that Mo Chen and the others were locked up by Steward Xu.

Mo Chen suddenly revealed the corpses in the room of Meng Xinyao and others, and then confirmed by Steward Xu that it was Sun Ma's whole story, and roughly told Mrs. Qian about it. Hearing that her grandmother had died, Mrs. Qian burst into tears and praised her loyalty to her master.

The rooster reported that it was dawn, but the pouring rain did not reduce the momentum at all, and the sky was still dark, and it was impossible to see day and night.

Mrs. Qian came forward, followed Mo Chen and them to the front hall, and scolded Steward Xu in front of Mo Chen and others, blaming him for acting recklessly and snubbing the guests. As compensation, Mrs. Qian generously left Mo Chen and them to live in the inn in the front yard, and they ate and lived for free until the rain stopped and it was not too late for Mo Chen and them to leave.

The peak turned around, was inexplicably imprisoned, and now he became a guest in the court, this encounter really made Mo Chen and his party smile bitterly. But fortunately, in this way, Mo Chen and the others don't have to hide like thieves, Meng Xinyao was also well taken care of, and Mrs. Qian sent someone to send bone-setting medicine Chen Cen to help Meng Xinyao deal with her sprained ankle.

After settling Mo Chen and them, Mrs. Qian went back to the backyard, and as soon as Mrs. Qian left, Steward Xu also claimed that she had something to do and left. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zheng Yi hurriedly asked Mo Chen if he had discovered anything last night.

Although the roles they played were different, after all, it was Zheng Yi's request first, and Mo Chen had nothing to avoid, so he told the things he found one by one. Chen Cen asked Zheng Yi suspiciously, "How many sons does your wife have?" ”

I don't know if it's because he wasn't very close to Chen Cen in the first place, he replied with ignorance, "Didn't you say it before, there is only one young master alive, and the young lady who was born after that has died a long time ago!" ”

Chen Cen pursed his lips, wanting to say something, but he still didn't open his mouth after all, the blind man could see that something seemed to have happened between her and Zheng Yi, Meng Xinyao glanced at Zheng Yi, and then looked at Chen Cen, and said, "Maybe it's the young master Qian who wrote to Mrs. Qian!" Some people are so awkward, they are very worried when they don't meet, but when they meet, they like to be stubborn, and they have to say two ugly words to stimulate each other. It's not good, Qian Tianlong is this kind of person! ”

Mo Chen shook his head slightly and asked Zheng Yi, "As far as you know, how is Qian Tianlong's education level?" The words of the people who wrote to Mrs. Qian were extremely restrained, and Qian Tianlong, who returned from the rainstorm at night, faced Steward Xu who came forward, with contempt and arrogant attitude.

"You ask the big bald scoop!" Zheng Yi pursed his lips, a big head appeared in his mind, and he shivered in disgust, "I don't know!" He has been staying in the temple all the time, who knows if he has learned some skills from the old abbot! ”

"He's been in the temple all the time?" Mo Chen confirmed with Zheng Yi.

Zheng Yi nodded: "Ang!" I heard Uncle Xu say that the bald lady's life is not good, and he must stay in the temple until he becomes an adult before he can come back. Otherwise, it will hurt others! Zheng Yi said that the picture is colorful, as if the superstitious statement is indeed based on real evidence.

Zhang Zili interjected, "Counting the age, Qian Tianlong is already an adult, why hasn't the Qian family picked him up?" ”

"Because it's a good day and an auspicious day!" Zheng Yi saw that everyone was puzzled, and continued, "Master Qian is very superstitious, and he is particularly taboo about the bald lady's life experience, saying that he wants to find someone to live a good life and then take him back." Later, it seemed that it was delayed for a few days because of business matters, and it turned out to be what it is today. ”

"I see!" Wang Lei, who had been listening to everyone's analysis, suddenly shouted: "Qian Tianlong is fake!" Since it is certain that Mrs. Qian has only one son alive, it can be determined that the person who wrote the letter must be true, and neither his wording and attitude towards Mrs. Qian, nor the feelings of longing indirectly revealed in each letter, do not seem to be false. On the contrary, Qian Tianlong, from the moment he stepped into the door of this family, not only did he not have the slightest sentimentality towards his deceased father, but he also spoke ill of his biological mother, in comparison, he was quite interested in the Qian family's property. If Qian Tianlong is a villain who is greedy for wealth and wealth and impostor, it is natural to say the past.

Mo Chen suddenly remembered that when eavesdropping outside the window, the content of the conversation between the mother and son of the Qian family did mention that the mother and son had never met for so many years, so much so that Mrs. Qian still asked Qian Tianlong for a jade pendant to prove her identity. In this way, Qian Tianlong is indeed suspected of impostor, after all, in this era, you can't do DNA, yes or no, it all depends on the mouth of the person concerned. Mo Chen made up his mind in his heart, it was best to find an opportunity to meet this young master Qian in person for a while, maybe he could find some flaws from his mouth.

Don't talk about people during the day, don't mention ghosts in the middle of the night, there was a sound of going upstairs downstairs, and a loud voice followed, "I heard that Uncle Xu neglected the guests last night, this damn old thing is not sensible, don't take it to heart!" Before he finished speaking, a bald figure came into the room uninvited.

Zheng Yi patiently called the young master, Qian Tianlong snorted in his nose, ignored him, and walked to the side of the bed arrogantly. Meng Xinyao had been sitting on the edge of the bed because of her inconvenience, and when she saw Qian Tianlong approaching, she was disgusted and moved towards the bed.

Qian Tianlong grabbed Meng Xinyao's ankle, and Meng Xinyao hummed in pain, but the corners of his mouth hooked up a strange smile, and he smacked his lips, "Yo you, it's so swollen, you have to rest well!" Speaking human words, Qian Tianlong's hand was not honest, and he patted Meng Xinyao's calf lightly as if no one was around. Chen Cen grabbed Qian Tianlong's wrist, tightened it hard, and said with a smile, "Young Master Lao Qian bothered, I will take good care of her!" As he spoke, he shook Qian Tianlong's hand away from Meng Xinyao's leg.
