Chapter 28 Suspicious
Xuanyuan Chen just wanted to drink at the moment, so he hurried to a tavern called "Cup Mo Stop" on the street where Ah Wan Shi Congee was, which was the tavern he often went to this month. He thought, maybe when Ah Wan happened to be walking down that street......
"Little Er, serve the wine!" Xuanyuan Chen came to "Don't stop the cup", and shouted loudly as soon as he sat down.
"Howler! Objective, please wait a minute, it will be right away. Xiao Er replied. Xin said: "What's going on with this son lately?" Why do you always come to get yourself drunk? "Xuanyuan Chen's reputation was great because of this disaster relief and flood control, and the citizens of Zhoushan, and even many ordinary people in Yuanlu knew this wise Chen Shizi because of this, so it was not surprising that Xiao Er knew that he was the prince.
"Objective, please use it slowly!" Xiao Er was puzzled, but he quickly served wine for Xuanyuan Chen.
"Brother Chen, you don't want to die! Why do you waste yourself like this? Just as Xuanyuan Chen picked up a glass of wine that he had just poured and was about to drink it all, Lian Yi, who ran away angrily, snatched the wine glass from his hand, quickly threw the wine glass on the ground, and looked at him sadly and yelled. Brother Chen's footsteps were like the wind, and she trotted all the way to barely keep up with him, so tired that she kicked him violently.
Xuanyuan Chen didn't say anything when he saw this, at this time, he just wanted to get himself drunk. Simply pick up the flask and prepare to pour a sip of wine directly into your mouth.
"Smack!" Lian Yi dragged the wine jug from Xuanyuan Chen's hand with both hands, and then threw the ceramic wine jug vigorously to the ground.
"What the hell are you going to do?" Xuanyuan Chen is on fire!
"Brother Chen, how thin have you become? What do you see you've tortured yourself into? Why do you torture yourself like this? No matter how much you torture yourself, she won't come back! She will never marry you in this life! Lian Yi looked at Xuanyuan Chen and shouted in pain. Lian Yi also learned from Shi Qing last night about the reason why Xuanyuan Chen was so decadent.
"You talk nonsense! You are talking nonsense! Awan will definitely be back! Awan loves me! Xuanyuan Chen roared angrily. Ah Wan will never come back, this is the most unwilling and unacceptable fact for him.
"Brother Chen, stop deceiving yourself! If she loves you, why would she be so cruel to leave you? She left so resolutely, she just didn't want to marry you! She won't marry you! Lian Yi looked at Xuanyuan Chen and said with great sadness.
"Shut up! You shut up! I don't want to listen! Xuanyuan Chen covered his ears and roared angrily.
"Brother Chen, wake up! She doesn't deserve to treat her like this! Lian Yi looked at Xuanyuan Chen and said extremely distressed.
"You go! There you go! Give me away right away! Xuanyuan Chen still roared angrily.
"Brother Chen......" Lian Yi looked at Xuanyuan Chen aggrievedly, and her tears fell straight down without a fight.
"Let's go!" Xuanyuan Chen didn't want to hear her say anything about Ah Wan.
"Brother Chen, I really don't talk nonsense. You believe me, she won't come back to you! She doesn't love you! I won't marry you either! Lian Yi was very sure.
"Get out!" Xuanyuan Chen didn't want to listen to her nonsense anymore!
"Brother Chen, Lianyi begs you to stop wasting yourself like this......" Lianyi was willing to leave alone and let him drink here.
Without waiting for Lianyi to finish speaking, Xuanyuan Chen strode away. I don't want to listen to her nonsense anymore! She doesn't go, he goes!
"Brother Chen, Brother Chen......" Lian Yi hurriedly shouted again and ran to catch up with Xuanyuan Chen.
"What the hell do you want to do!" After walking for a long time, Xuanyuan Chen found that he was still following Lianyi's tail, which was extremely annoying! Turning his head to her, he said.
"Brother Chen......" Lian Yi looked at him aggrievedly, her eyes blurred with tears. continued to persuade him: "Brother Chen, don't be stupid! She really won't marry you! ”
"Why do you say that? How do you know that Awan won't marry me! You're not Awan! Xuanyuan Chen listened to Lian Yi repeatedly affirm that "Ah Wan will not marry him", and finally retorted to her angrily. In an instant, he had a flash of inspiration, why did Lian Yi always say in such a tone that Ah Wan would not marry him? Suddenly, he stretched out his hands and pinched her shoulder blades vigorously, and shouted suspiciously, "Do you know something?" What do you know? Did you go to Awan again and say something? What exactly did you do to Awan? ”
"I ...... No, I don't know anything! I don't know anything! Lian Yi denied. can't say it, say it, if the emperor knows, my father will also be implicated.
"You must know something! Say! What exactly did you say to Awan? What was done? Say it! Xuanyuan Chen saw Lianyi, who suddenly became a little nervous, and affirmed the suspicion in his heart.
"No, no, I don't know anything! Nothing's a no! Lianyi still denied it. She couldn't say it and hurt her father.
Xuanyuan Chen saw Lianyi's nervous expression, and the more he concluded in his heart, Lianyi must know something! However, Lianyi has always refused to tell the truth, so it doesn't make much sense to continue to ask questions. He had to send someone to check her out. Thinking like this, Xuanyuan Chen didn't want to continue talking nonsense with her, so he let go of the hand holding her shoulder blade, turned around and strode away.
"Brother Chen, Brother Chen......" Lian Yi hurriedly ran up again, following Xuanyuan Chen. He looks like this, she doesn't feel at ease!
Xuanyuan Chen continued to stride forward, ignoring her again. He immediately ordered Shi Qing to send someone to carefully investigate Lianyi, and also carefully investigate what suspicious people Awan had come into contact with during this time.
Later, after Shi Qing sent someone to carefully investigate, the result was that Lianyi only went to the porridge shed to find Ah Wan once, and never appeared in the porridge shed again, and naturally never looked for Ah Wan again. But one family member recalled, "Once when he was in the porridge shed, he seemed to see the future princess follow a middle-aged man in his fifties and leave the porridge shed for more than an hour, but when everyone was done, the future princess also returned to the porridge shed, and later everyone returned to Liuyun Pavilion together." There are no anomalies. ”
Xuanyuan Chen listened to Jiading's words, and recalled when Ah Wan first told him to leave, and asked the Jiading when Ah Wan and the middle-aged man left the porridge shed halfway, but the time that Jiading said was actually a few days before Ah Wan first asked him to leave. How could it be such a coincidence! Therefore, Xuanyuan Chen concluded that Ah Wan's departure must have something to do with the middle-aged man. So he carefully interrogated the middle-aged man's appearance, clothing, height, etc. After some description, Xuanyuan Chen actually felt that the middle-aged man, regardless of age and body shape, was very similar to his uncle Du Heng.
For this reason, Xuanyuan Chen hurried to the mansion of Yandu Du Heng. As soon as he saw Du Heng, he couldn't wait to ask him, had he ever gone to the porridge shed to find Awan alone during the time when he was supervising the disaster relief in Zhoushan? What did you say to Awan? Who knew that Du Heng vetoed it, he didn't know Ah Wan in his mouth at all, and said that he didn't talk to any woman alone when he was in Zhoushan.
Even if, in the end, Xuanyuan Chen actually knelt in front of Du Heng, this was the first time in his twenty-five years that he knelt down with a person, and begged him: "Uncle, I know that you went to the porridge shed to find Awan." I don't care what you say to her, just tell me where Awan is now. However, Du Heng still had a consistent answer, he didn't know the woman he called Ah Wan at all, and he didn't talk to her alone.
In Du Heng's heart, he actually admires this talented nephew very much. Xinwang's three sons, he only valued this Xuanyuan Chen, and felt that he was quite outstanding, but he didn't expect to be an infatuated species. Seeing such a Xuanyuan Chen, he couldn't bear it, and said in his heart: "Virtuous nephew, it's not that my uncle won't say it, it's that my uncle can't say it!" ”
Xuanyuan Chen, who asked Du Heng to no avail, still firmly believed in his intuition, and it was because of what Du Heng said to Ah Wan that Ah Wan left him. However, Du Heng insisted on denying it, and he had no choice. He didn't give up, and he ordered Shi Qing to take someone to search for Yandu, but there was still no news from Ah Wan. It's just that Shi Qingyu reported: "He found that there was a group of people in Yandu who were also looking for a woman, a woman with a red mole at the base of her right ear." ”
"Regardless of him, that's someone else's business. You just have to bring someone to find Awan for me. Xuanyuan Chen said indifferently. He suddenly remembered that there was also a conspicuous red mole at the base of Ah Wan's right ear, which was very beautiful, and he had kissed her red mole. In this world, it really happened that the missing woman in Yandu also had a red mole at the root of his right ear like his Awan.
In the end, Xuanyuan Chen stayed in Yandu for half a year, but still found nothing. It wasn't until the secret guard in the palace came to report that "the king is critically ill", and he finally returned to Zhoushan in extreme disappointment.
Dujiabao
In a blink of an eye, Wanliang's aunt A Niu has been in Dujiabao for two months. Because of Du Yi, all the subordinates of Dujiabao treated Wanliang with courtesy and friendliness.
In two months, Wanliang learned that Dujiabao was quite famous in Yuanlu, and the industries involved in it were quite large, including salt, rice, tea, cloth, etc. It's just that Wanliang wondered in her heart, so many industries, how could all of them be taken care of by Uncle Du, who has passed the sixtieth birthday. I heard that Uncle Du had four daughters and two sons. However, Wanliang and they came to Dujiabao for two months, and they only saw Uncle Du's youngest son, Du Mingze.
Du Yi did have four daughters and two sons. The four daughters are all married and usually come back once. Wanliang, they are very difficult to see. As for Du Yi's fifth child, Du Hongyu, because Du Yi and Mrs. Du were the sons of the stars and the moon, and the son, they were pampered and even doted on since they were children, which also led to Du Hongyu developing his own way, reckless, stubborn, and stubborn character.
Because, ten years ago, Du Yi took a concubine, Mrs. Du cut her hair to become a nun, and Du Hongyu has been blaming his father Du Yi until now. Therefore, Du Hongyu is obviously already in his twenties, not only does he not help his father take care of the huge family business, but spends all day outside drinking and being cynical. Often do not go home once for months. Like, this time I went out and didn't return for more than three months, so Wanliang and they lived in Dujiabao for two months, and they didn't see this Young Master Du-Du Hongyu. Du Yi knew that he had been complaining and blaming himself in his heart because his mother was a monk. Ten years have passed, and the gap between father and son has not only not been eliminated, but the gap has become wider and wider. Du Yi felt very uncomfortable, but he couldn't help this son who had grown up spoiled since he was a child......
