Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Collapsed Old Butler
Fu Xian was finally found in an old alley in the capital, naked, only wearing a thin blanket, after this incident, he was also known in the capital, becoming the biggest laughing stock.
I heard that he hadn't been to Fireworks Willow Lane for a long time, and he studied the Four Books and Five Classics at home all day long, preparing to make a splash in the imperial examination next year, which made his old father Fu Dingtian very pleased.
Li Wuchen, on the other hand, was sorting out the past files in the Shuntian Mansion, without the slightest intention of dealing with these backlog cases.
This made Zhou Mu a little curious, and at the same time he was faintly unconvinced, it stands to reason that if there was no Li Wuchen inserting a lever in this position, it should have been his.
After another day of mixing, Li Wuchen returned to the Li Mansion on time, which was even more rare, Murong Wan'er waited for him to go home in the courtyard for the first time.
"How's it going today?"
Before the dinner table, Li Wuchen turned his head and asked Xing Jia, if he asked some dark scraps that the world didn't know, then he had to ask Xing Jia, who was in charge of the affairs of Zanghaizhuang in the capital before Li Wuchen came.
Xing Jia did not sit at the table, and according to him, as an old servant in the Li Mansion, he was not qualified to eat with his master.
"Young master, the housekeeper of the Fu Mansion is usually strict with himself, and he rarely has a handle that can be caught, but according to the secret report, he often goes to Tongzi Hutong A San Duyuan alone. ”
Xing Jia was as respectful as before, and his voice was not high, but Li Wuchen and Murong Wan'er, who was at the same table, could hear it clearly.
Li Wuchen poured himself a glass of wine and asked, "What did you find?"
Xing Jia bowed slightly and said, "He hid a beautiful concubine there and gave birth to a half-sized son." ”
Murong Wan'er saw Li Wuchen's squinting and contemplative expression, and knew that he was holding back some bad ideas, so she hurriedly said, "I have to go this time, you have to take me." ”
For her, going out with Li Wuchen is indeed more fun than before.
Li Wuchen didn't answer, lowered his eyes for a moment, and said, "Is there a way to kidnap his son silently?"
"Yes, as long as the young master wants to, I can arrange for people now, and within a stick of incense, the young master can see the housekeeper's little baby. ”
Xing Jia's expression was very serious, and a trace of murderous aura could be faintly seen in his eyes.
Li Wuchen smiled and said, "It's just a trivial matter, you can arrange for two people to take him out of the city for a night, and then send him back tomorrow." ”
"Obey, young master, the old slave will arrange it. ”
With that, Xingjia bowed and retreated.
Seeing that Xingjia was gone, Murong Wan'er's delicate little feet under the table stepped heavily on Li Wuchen's instep, and said viciously, "If you don't take Miss Ben there, I guarantee that you won't be able to do it." ”
"Take you!"
Li Wuchen smiled a little helplessly, "But this matter has to be talked about tonight!"
Looking at the other party's posture, it is obvious that if she doesn't agree, she won't let her plan go smoothly today.
The sun sets, and the autumn night always comes quickly......
The housekeeper of the Fu Mansion looked at the child in front of him with a little iron, and his fists were bruised.
But he didn't say anything, and went out of the Fu Mansion directly, which made many maids and servants curious, what kind of thing could make this usually kind old housekeeper angry like this.
The old butler walked through one street after another, and bypassed one alley after another, and came to a small courtyard with a slightly dilapidated exterior but a new door.
The old butler, who stopped at the door, looked around cautiously, and only after finding that there was nothing unusual did he tap the door knocker.
Soon, the vermilion lacquer door was opened from the inside, and a middle-aged beautiful woman in her thirties poked her head out, and after finding that it was the old housekeeper at the door, her eyes quickly moistened, and she just wanted to pounce into the arms of the old housekeeper, but he pushed it open.
"Let's go inside!"
The old butler's tone was a little cold, and without giving the beautiful woman a chance to speak, he hurried into the courtyard.
'Smack......'
A slap hit the middle-aged beauty in the face, almost knocking her to the ground.
"Old man......"
The middle-aged beautiful woman covered her face with her right hand, and looked at the old man in front of her in disbelief, this was the first time he had beaten himself.
"What about Hao'er? How did you lose it? You explain it to me!"
The old housekeeper said, and slapped him hard, from his slightly trembling right hand, it can be seen that he is really angry, he is old and has a son, for his little son, he is really a baby, for fear of bumping into it.
Under the love house and Wuxia, he is also obedient to this beautiful woman who gave birth to a big fat boy for him, even if there is any dissatisfaction, he will rely on her.
"Hao'er has been playing in the courtyard today, and he hasn't gone out, and the concubine is just a kung fu to turn around, and he is gone. ”
The beautiful woman was weeping and telling what had happened.
"Has the door ever been closed, has a stranger ever been here today?"
After hearing this, the old housekeeper also felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked.
"The concubine has never been out of the house today, and no one has come at all, except for ...... Except for ......"
As the beautiful woman spoke, she seemed to remember something again, and paused for a while.
"Except for what?"
The old butler was a little anxious, grabbed the beautiful woman's shoulders tightly, and asked eagerly.
The beautiful woman was a little pained, but she didn't dare to show a dissatisfied expression, so she reluctantly said, "Today, a man came to ask for directions and asked for a bowl of water to drink." ”
"Asked for a bowl of water to drink?"
The old housekeeper sat on the ground a little depressed, he didn't dare to report to the official, the relationship between the beautiful woman and him was not visible, so this matter could only be handled by himself.
"It can't be him......"
The old butler stood for a long time, and then seemed to remember something, hurriedly pushed the door out, and ran frantically towards the mouth of the alley.
"What do you think?"
On the roof of this small courtyard, Li Wuchen turned his head to look at Murong Wan'er, with a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth.
"I think the people behind the scenes are coming out. ”
For the play in front of her, she felt that it was very enjoyable to watch, so she hurriedly pulled up Li Wuchen, and the two jumped on the roof, following the old housekeeper closely.
The old butler walked very fast, and most of the officers on patrol knew him, so he arrived at his destination without much examination.
In front of the magnificent and tall mansion, the old butler looked at the three gold lacquer characters on the plaque, and was a little hesitant, even if he knew that it was the people inside, he didn't have any way to help the people, and the owner inside could crush him thousands of times with just one finger.
The old butler clenched his fists, his forehead was sweaty, and his legs trembled slightly, but he did not flinch, and he walked for nearly half a cup of tea in the short seven steps.
'Bang... Bang... Bang......'
With a knock on the door, the heavy door slowly opened.
