Chapter 184 Possessed
It can be seen that the death of Qiao Sang has not yet spread back to the city, at least it has not spread to everyone.
The grandmother and aunt in the house were quiet now.
In addition to Shang Xia, who was ordered by Mrs. Meng to wait in Taichen Courtyard for Meng Shisan’s return, only Wen Fang from Meng Renji Courtyard was also in Taichen Courtyard.
As for Zehui Courtyard and Shanfang Courtyard, once she returns home, she does not need the concierge to report to them. The Shang family and Wu family have their own informants reporting back to their respective courtyards.
Shang Chun arranged Shang Xia and Wen Fang to wait in Mingxiao Hall. Before Meng Shisan came back, Shang Chun and Shang Xia were sitting in the hall talking, while Wen Fang was squatting on the threshold outside the hall. Wen Fang waited quietly in front of him until Meng Shisan came back. Shang Xia saw with his own eyes that Meng Shisan was safe and sound, and went back to his room to report that he was safe. Only then did Wen Fang dare to approach.
"My slave has met the eldest lady." Wen Fang saluted. After the ceremony, he stood there with some hesitation in speaking.
Meng Shisan glanced at him: "Come in and talk."
"No." Wen Fang followed him into Mingxiao Hall.
Meng Shisan sat down on the left side of the main seat, took the scented tablets handed over by Shang Chun, took a sip, and then looked at Wen Fang, who seemed a little timid: "You are from the second brother's courtyard. Man, just tell me what my second brother asked you to do. No matter what, I won’t blame you.”
She thought that the matter her brother asked Wen Fang to talk about violated some of her taboos, which made Wen Fang so difficult to talk about, so she gave Wen Fang a reassurance first.
"Miss, it was the young master who asked the slave to come here!" Wen Fang knelt down with a groan and bowed his head to plead guilty, "It was the slave who came to Taichen Courtyard to wait for the young lady on her own initiative, young master. I don’t know, please forgive me, Miss!”
Originally, he couldn’t enter. He used a lot of money to bribe the gatekeeper of the second gate, and asked her to go to Taichen Courtyard to inform Aunt Shangchun. Aunt Shangchun went to the second gate to see him in person. He explained the reason and knelt down. After kowtowing and begging for a long time, Aunt Shangchun relented and agreed, taking him into the second gate and waiting in Taichen Courtyard.
At this time, it has been from afternoon to now.
Wen Fang knelt down to apologize, and Shangchun immediately told how he entered the backyard, and then said: "I thought he was from Senwanyuan after all, and he He said it was about the second young master's life, so he didn't dare to delay, so he brought him in. As for how it was about the second young master's life, he didn't say anything, saying that he would wait until the young lady came back. "
"But the money is not enough?" After hearing what Shang Chun said, Meng Shisan immediately thought of Meng Renji's previous poverty. Brother, just say it’s me...”
“Miss! I’m not here to ask for money.” It’s true that money is important, but he has to wait in Taichen Court for no reason. .
"Then you should tell me that since my second brother moved back to Meng Mansion, he has kept all his food, clothing, housing and transportation in the manor. He rarely goes out. When he does go out, he mostly goes out to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstones, except for Kunzheng Pavilion. , I didn’t get into the bad habit of living and drinking, so how could I just Is his life at stake? "Although Meng Shisan has been busy with her own affairs, it was she who rescued her brother, and because of her relationship, her grandmother nodded and agreed to move her brother back to Meng Mansion from Zhuangzi, so she treated Meng Renji. No matter how busy she is, she will always let Shangchun pay special attention to her.
If this were not the case, Shang Chun would not dare to let Wen Fang step into the backyard just because Wen Fang said something about his brother's life, and even went into her yard to wait for her return.
Wen Fang raised his upper body lying on the ground slightly, raised his head and looked at Meng Shisan cautiously, and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "To the eldest lady, the young master... just reads. Possessed..."
Meng Shisan's eyes flashed: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"I deserve death, but I know exactly what I am talking about. Please tell me, Miss!" Wen Fang kept knocking. The three heads rang, all of them solid and banging.
As Baozhu listened, she felt her forehead hurt.
Shangchun also frowned, thought for a while and said: "As the young lady ordered me, I naturally paid more attention to the Senwanyuan in the front yard, but I didn't hear anything wrong with the second master. "The slave did not lie. The eldest lady moved to Senwanyuan. You can tell by looking at the young master. "Wen Fang and Wen Yuan are both the personal followers chosen by the Shang family for Meng Renji. They are not only smart and intelligent, but also know very well about many things inside and outside the house. Both of them are very happy. As an adult, as soon as he said the words "please enjoy the spring", he immediately understood the meaning behind the words.
If Meng Shisan believed in anyone more, it was naturally the stewardess of his courtyard, Mrs. Shang Chun. She was just a well-spoken dialect, and even dared to say that she was possessed by a demon, and even let her know clearly. .
She would definitely not be able to tell clearly by staying in the backyard. Only by going to the front yard to see her brother's condition in person could she be able to tell clearly.
Meng Shisan agreed to move, put down the tea bowl from which he had only taken a sip, stood up and said, "I will do as you say."
In all, she had not seen her for several days. Brother, just take a walk and take a look.
She did not let Shang Chun follow her, she still only brought the treasure alone. Seeing the worry in Shang Chun's eyes, she said calmly: "Don't worry, even if the second brother is really possessed, he won't It hurt me.”
She was somewhat confident about this.
Although it is not enough.
But this is not important, so there is no need to mention it and scare the little steward lady in her courtyard.
Baozhu also promised: "Don't worry, Aunt Shangchun, as long as I am here, I will never let you get hurt in the slightest!"
Shangchun finally relaxed his brows and smiled.
After Meng Shisan went to the front yard, she summoned Shuang'er, who had come to Senwanyuan today to inquire about the news, and asked her again carefully.
Shuang'er, like Bing'er, is a third-class maid. It was she who went to the front yard to see what was going on in Meng Renji's yard.
Being summoned by Shang Chun to ask again, she truthfully repeated the answer she had given before, and then asked in confusion: "Aunt Shang Chun, what happened to the second young master?"< br>
"No... not yet." Shangchun waved Shuang'er to step back and continue working. She murmured to herself, "I hope not."
Reading Being possessed by a demon is no small matter.
If the second young master is really possessed by a demon, he will have an incurable and serious illness!
Let the old lady know that she will immediately have to send the second young master back to Zhuangzi outside the city. They will still claim that the second young master is recuperating from illness, but this time it is different from the previous time when the second young master was raised in Zhuangzi. It's the same, but it's a complete giving up, relying on the two young masters to fend for themselves on Zhuangzi.
Maybe the news that the second young master died of illness will come back at some time.
Standing on the verandah of the Mingxiao Hall to enjoy the spring, she was lost in thought alone. Suddenly, the night wind blew, accompanied by the faint fragrance of flowers and plants, and she suddenly woke up.
She blamed herself angrily: "What are you thinking about! The second young master is protected by the young lady, so nothing will happen to him!"
