"Exactly," Liao Xiang said with a face full of surprise, "The servants sent to the city gate happened to see the Cheng family carrying several sedans into the mansion with great fanfare. The words came from their mansion, and they also said that their cousin's daughter Lost for many years, finally found this time
"Madam, there is no other cousin in the Cheng family except our eldest daughter. They said they found the missing cousin, so that means..."
"Shut up!"
Before Luoxiang could say the rest of his sentence, he was interrupted by Mr. Jiang.
The Cheng family only has one cousin, so isn't this lost and found cousin none other than Lu Jia, the eldest daughter of the Lu family?
"Impossible!"
Jiang strode up to Lun Xiang and asked, "Did you hear wrongly?"
Luoxiang said quickly: "That's what the servant said, and the servants thought it was impossible. They asked them several times and sent them to confirm again, and the result was the same!
"Those sedan chairs have already been ushered into the Cheng Mansion. This news cannot be false!"
When Grandma Du heard this, she couldn't help but walked towards Mrs. Jiang: "Madam!"
Jiang brushed her away, walked quickly to the door, then came back, then turned around suddenly, glared at Luoxiang and yelled angrily: "When the accident happened, the Cheng family only came to ask about it, but they never told her about it after that." Why did they suddenly find Lu Jia after so many years?
"Besides, isn't Lu Jia in Shawan? Didn't Guo Lu arrange for someone to arrive in Shawan? Didn't the letter I received yesterday say that we can get it in a few days?
"Why was she suddenly found by Cheng Mansion?"
"This matter is indeed unusual." Madam Du walked to the side of Jiang: "The Cheng family has turned against the master for a long time. After the death of the first wife, the Cheng family never came to care for the niece. There has been no news about the eldest lady for so many years. If there is any news, even if the Cheng family knows her whereabouts, there is no reason to pick her back."
Jiang frowned for a moment, looked at her and said, "Go and find out the situation clearly!"
Aunt Du quickly walked out of the main room and called a few clever servants, asking them to try their best to go to the Cheng family to find out the exact news.
However, the Cheng family was very happy. Several sedan chairs were welcomed into the house along the way, and the news had already spread.
After someone from the Lu family heard the news, they realized that the situation was serious and immediately rushed to the Yamen to find Lu Jie and reported the matter.
Lu Jie was reporting the matter to his subordinates. After hearing the report, he immediately raised his head.
"Miss Cheng's cousin? Are you sure you heard correctly?"
"I'm sure I got it right word for word, I heard it right!"
Lu Jie stood up immediately, stared at the door for a moment, then picked up his black gauze hat and rushed out.
When I returned to the house, I happened to bump into Yang Bonong walking out of the door quickly.
Lu Jie asked immediately: "What's going on with the Cheng family?"
"I was about to report this to the master! There are rumors outside that the Cheng Mansion has found its long-lost cousin!"
"That's nonsense! The Cheng family only has one aunt and one cousin! Besides Sister Jia, where else do they have a cousin?!"
Lu Jie couldn't help but refute his words.
Yang Bonong took a deep breath and leaned over: "That's exactly what I mean. If there is a lost cousin in the Cheng family, it must be our eldest lady!"
Lu Jie suddenly took a step back and stared blankly ahead.
Yang Bonong walked down the stairs: "Master, may I go to Cheng Mansion immediately to find out the truth?"
"No!"
Lu Jie's chest heaved: "I'll go by myself!" After saying that, he ran out again, grabbed the horse's rein from the boy's hand, turned over, and ran towards the Cheng Mansion without thinking.
It was rare for Yang Bonong to see Lu Jie lose his composure, so he quickly called out to the people around him: "Hurry up and follow me to the Cheng family!"
After that, he also called for a horse, and hurriedly mounted it and followed.
The servant that Mammy Du had assigned happened to arrive here. He immediately squeezed into the entourage and followed him to the Cheng family.
The Cheng Mansion was as lively as the Chinese New Year, with people coming and going constantly.
Lu Jie arrived at the door first on horseback, threw off the reins of his horse and was about to break through the door. However, when he crossed the door, he was blocked by the Cheng family nurse guarding the door.
"Isn't this Master Shangshu? Sir, you have something urgent to ask of our master?"
Lu Jie frowned: "Get out of the way!"
The nursing staff lined up in a row: "I'm sorry, there is a big event in our house today. The master and his wife have already told us not to see any guests. If Master Shangshu has something to do, please come back another day."
Lu Jie gritted his teeth and looked at them, then suddenly stepped forward to squeeze through.
The nursing staff quickly blocked the way: "Master, please stop. If you try to force your way in, we won't let you!"
Lu Jie, a scholar, would naturally not be able to compete with them.
But it happened that Yang Bonong also arrived with people. Seeing this, the people from the Lu family hurriedly stepped forward and squeezed out of the way the few people blocking the way.
Lu strode in. Along the way, he saw everyone in the Cheng family beaming with joy. Several sedan chairs were placed in the front yard, and there were many large and small boxes.
He quickened his pace and walked in, and was met by many more people blocking his way.
He ignored them and entered their second door. Looking left and right, Cheng Wenhui was nowhere to be seen. At this moment, a young and unexpected voice came from the side: "Isn't this Mr. Lu? Why did you come to our house?" ?”
Lu Jie looked over and saw Cheng Yi walking towards him. This young man, who had always been steady and steady, was dressed in a completely new look today, and his brows were filled with joy.
"Where is your father?"
"I wonder why Mr. Lu is looking for my father? Why did he force his way in?" Cheng Yi looked him up and down, "Your Excellency is the Minister of Etiquette. He is a great scholar at that time. He should be the most etiquette person. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to be so rampant. Is it appropriate?”
Lu Jie said with a gloomy face: "Cheng Yi, what crime should your Cheng family deserve for detaining my daughter?!"
Cheng Yi paused for a moment and smiled: "Young lady, I don't understand what you are saying. Isn't your daughter in your residence well? How come we, the Cheng family, are detaining her?"
Lu Jie said: "It seems that you are toasting instead of eating and being punished with wine.
"Come here! Go to Shuntian Mansion and sue the Cheng family!
"The Cheng family detained me, the eldest daughter of the Lu family, for no reason and refused to admit it. They asked Shuntian Mansion to bring people to search for me!"
Yang Bonong stepped forward and said yes. After taking a look at Cheng Yi, he waved to the person behind him.
"Stop!"
Cheng Yi stared at them with an eyebrow, and then fixed his gaze on Lu Jie's face: "If I remember correctly, as early as ten years ago, the Shangshu Mansion had announced that the eldest daughter of the Lu family had died unexpectedly.
"Since you all think she is dead, what does our cousin from the Cheng family have to do with you now?
"I wonder how Sir Shangshu has the right to keep claiming your daughter? Sir Shangshu, please understand that the Cheng family only has our cousin, not your Lu family's eldest daughter!"
