Chapter 19: Night Exploration of Chen's Mansion
After asking for most of the day, there was no progress in the case, but an extra fiancΓ©e came out.
Does she want to inquire again, what if someone stuffs her with a handkerchief again?
Yu Niang stood alone on the side of the road for a long time, and finally decided to go back to the inn and not inquire. Solve your own problems first!
On the way back to the inn, Yu Niang asked passers-by what kind of family the Chen family was and what kind of person was Miss Chen?
Why did she dare to hand a handkerchief to a strange man on the road? Wasn't she afraid of being immersed in a pig cage?
On the way, Yu Niang stopped and questioned a lady who came out to buy things, and I heard that Yu Niang was given a handkerchief by Miss Chen, and asked her to go to propose marriage the next day.
looked Yu Niang up and down and nodded, then shook his head and said with a sympathetic look: "It's a pity that he looks like a talent."
This son, the eldest lady still advises you to leave Yizhou City as soon as possible!
Yu Niang didn't know why, and asked, "Why? β
The eldest lady looked left and right, pulled Yu Niang closer, leaned on her ear and said, "This Chen family can't be provoked, it should be the second miss of the Chen family who gave you a veil today, and only she dares to do this."
When he saw a good-looking man, he would give a handkerchief to someone, and if the man didn't obey, he would go straight to the house.
So, this little boy, aunt, I advise you to run for your life quickly!"
"How dare she?
"The prefectural magistrate doesn't know. The head of the Chen family is the master of the county government, and generally the affairs of the county government are handled by the master, and the county order is usually not promoted.
And the eldest lady of the Chen family is the favorite concubine of the county order, the kind that is very favored, as long as she says it, the county order will do it, and basically will not refute it.
Even the county magistrate's wife didn't dare to do anything to her. The front lobby is controlled by the master, and the backyard is the world of the eldest lady of the Chen family.
This father and daughter can be said to dominate the entire Yizhou County Ya, and the second miss of the Chen family is spoiled.
As long as she fancies, whether it is an object or a person, there is nothing she can't get. β
Yu Niang was surprised when she heard this eldest lady's words, but she was just a young lady from the master's family, how could she feel more powerful than the princess! No wonder the maid was so arrogant.
Thank you, Auntie, and go to the inn. When I returned to the inn, I compared the results with Kangxi and others as a few days ago, but Yu Niang did not tell them about the second miss of the Chen family.
She thinks that this is her own business, and she just meets them in the water, and she doesn't need to tell others about her private affairs.
Yu Niang plans to visit the Chen Mansion at night to secretly check whether the Chen family is really so arrogant and control the entire county government.
Is the second miss of the Chen family really that hateful?
After dinner, Yu Niang extinguished the candle very early, waited in the room until late at night, and then took the sword and gently pushed open the window and flew out, she did not walk on the street, but flew over the roofs of each house.
Yu Niang knew the location of the Chen family from the mouth of the eldest lady, not far from the inn, using light power, a pillar of incense, Yu Niang came to the roof of the Chen family.
The Chen family didn't seem to be resting at this time, and there were still bright lights in several rooms, and Yu Niang first came to a room with the closest light to her.
When I came to the window, I made a small hole in the window, and quietly looked inside, and there was a middle-aged man walking around inside.
There was also a young girl sitting at the table watching the man walk back and forth. At this time, the two did not speak.
Yu Niang waited outside for a long time before she heard the woman say, "Dad, you are talking! I don't care if you agree or not, anyway, I want to marry that son."
I've already told him that I'll come over tomorrow to propose. You must say yes!"
Yu Niang didn't expect that this had something to do with herself. I looked carefully at the girl's appearance, and she was really good, but she was only better than the average girl. Not as exaggerated as the maid said.
Later, I heard the voice of the man in the house: "Jiao'er, you are messing around again."
Today, an unknown person came to the county office, and looking at the county order's attention, I don't want to know my identity. You've been a little more restrained lately. β
"Dad, I've relented. The son I fancy today is very handsome, and I plan to live with peace of mind after marrying him. Don't go to anyone else anymore. β
"Really?"
"Really. β
"Then you let the guy surnamed Ma go? Stay at home for fear that something will happen to you, and then your sister will be affected. At that time, our Chen family will be finished. β
"Why did you let him go? Someone like him, who didn't know how to lift him, didn't care if he lived or died, so he just kept him locked up and waited for death, saving his hands from dirty. The woman spoke viciously and carelessly.
"You really don't want him, are you willing?" the master was still a little skeptical, and asked again with confirmation.
"Isn't he just a talent who can write articles! There are many men like him in the world. Moreover, I'm tired of seeing men like this. β
"Then what if the man you have your crush on today gets tired of it after a long time?"
"I'll talk about that then, now I just want to marry him. As for who knows ...... future"
Yu Niang, who was hiding outside the window and eavesdropping, was speechless in her heart, how could there be such a vicious woman?
Moreover, listening to the conversation between the father and daughter, could this person surnamed Ma who can write articles be Ma Xiucai? Could it be that Ma Xiucai was locked up in the Chen family.
The father and daughter of the Chen family chatted in the study for a while, and then left. Seeing that the two were about to come out, Yu Niang turned over on the roof and waited for the two to leave before coming down.
Yu Niang followed the two of them away, and saw the master surnamed Chen walk into the backyard and come to a woman's room, and it didn't take long for a woman to come from the room...... Uh-huh......" "Ah...... Ah......h
Yu Niang listened outside for a while, but didn't find any useful information, so she flew away.
When she came to another place, Yu Niang looked for a few rooms before finding Miss Chen Er's room. At this time, Miss Chen Er was already bathing and preparing to rest.
Yu Niang hid on the beam outside the window and listened to the movement inside, and occasionally there was the sound of rushing water. After she bathed, Yu Niang heard the maid inside say, "Miss, the slave will help you up!"
"Hmm!"
When Yu Niang heard the sound of talking inside, she came down from above to under the window, and looked through the small hole that had been broken. At this time, Yu Niang saw that the two had come to the dresser.
The maid wiped Miss Chen's hair with a cotton cloth, and after a while, Miss Chen Er said, "Chunhua, did you say that the little boy will come tomorrow?"
The maid named Chunhua said, "Don't worry, Miss, the little boy will definitely come tomorrow." Our young lady is so beautiful, where would the little boy be willing to come. β
"Poor mouth, just you girl can talk. β
"The slave is telling the truth. β
The master and servant were laughing in the house, completely unaware that the little boy they were talking about was outside the door. The two talked for a long time, and Yu Niang didn't hear any useful information.
Just as she was about to leave and return to the inn, Yu Niang heard the maid mention the man surnamed Ma.
Hearing this, Yu Niang immediately lifted her spirits, only to hear the maid Chunhua say: "Miss, you go to bed to rest first! The slave maid went to the kitchen to get some food and sent it to the man." β
"You don't have to deliver it today, you can keep vigil here! Also, you don't have to bring him food in the future. β
"Miss, why is that? he will starve to death if he doesn't deliver food. β
"Hmph! just starve him. Miss, I'm going to get married in the future, and I don't want to waste any more time on him. It was also discovered by the new aunt. β
After a pause, Miss Chen Er said again: "You are not allowed to bring him food, and you don't go to see him again, just as there has never been such a person in our family." Did you hear that?"
Miss Chen Er stared at the maid Chunhua and said viciously.
