You can clearly hear any movement in the middle of the night, not to mention that the guest room she wants is closest to the main street.
Shen Yi touched his chin thoughtfully, "It would be great if we could confirm the identity of that woman."
Su Yu shook her head, "It's difficult. The Zhu family is so defensive that they don't even have a chance to make a move."
Shen Yi smiled and said, "Leave the rest to us. It's been a hard work for my cousin these past two days."
Su Yu waved her hand, "Why are you so polite to me?"
After Shen Yi returned, he told Lu Tong about the situation. The two of them planned how to enter Zhu's house to find out, and began to make plans for this.
Two days later, Zhu Yixuan came back from Fucheng, his face extremely ugly.
What made him even more depressed was that the new house was completely different from the Zhu Mansion. From the layout to the planning, there was no trace of the Zhu Mansion. He couldn't even find the yard where he lived.
The steward hurried over to wait for orders.
Zhu Yixuan frowned, "What's going on with this house?"
The housekeeper hurriedly explained, "I heard that all the houses in the imperial capital have this layout. The county government has made a unified plan according to the houses in the imperial capital. This is what the young lady said."
Mentioning Cen Mingzhu, Zhu Yixuan paused and showed concern for her for the first time, "Have you been getting used to it these days, Madam? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
The housekeeper shook his head, "Everything is fine with the young lady. She said that this house is nice, and exaggerated that the bath soap and shampoo and facial cleanser sent by the young master are very useful. However, the master is very angry. He dislikes that the yard is not as grand as before and the home is not as spacious as before. He also said that it would be renovated.
The eldest young lady was very angry when she found out and had a quarrel with the master, saying that she could not break ground at home because she was pregnant, as it would be harmful to the child. The master was so angry that he yelled and cursed and said many unpleasant things, which made the eldest wife hate her. Master, I've poked a lot of holes in my heart.
Seeing that it would be okay if things continued like this, the young man asked the master to live in the house next door to separate him from the young lady. ”
The original Zhu Mansion was very large, and the county government compensated them with four houses, all of which were connected together.
Zhu Yixuan made no sense to the housekeeper's actions, and just asked: "What was the compensation that Madam gave to Ke's mother and son back then?"
The housekeeper was startled and couldn't understand why his eldest young master suddenly came ahead of them, but he replied honestly: "The ten thousand taels of silver note and the title deed of the house in Pingzhou are just..."
"Just what?" Zhu Yixuan's voice suddenly became sharp.
The housekeeper trembled and said quickly: "It's just that Mr. Ke has never been to Pingzhou. After my wife's death, I took care of my wife's property and sent someone to Pingzhou. Everything in Pingzhou is as usual, with shops and tenant farmers." I don’t even know that they have changed owners, but I’m just surprised that no one has been there to collect rent in the past few years.
It was only at such a young age that she realized that Ke was not angry at first, she really left cleanly and did not want to have anything to do with the Zhu family anymore. ”
"Bang!" With a sound, Zhu Yixuan hammered the table hard. His mind was so confused that he finally ordered after a while: "You secretly send someone to investigate the whereabouts of Ke's mother and son. You must find them for me!"
< br>
Counting the time, the child is almost ten years old! Ten years old! If the delay continues, the child will really be unable to develop a relationship with the Zhu family!
The housekeeper was surprised, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions. After returning home, he sighed to his wife, "You said that the eldest young master was in good condition, so why did he want to inquire about the whereabouts of Ke's mother and son? The eldest young lady was sent to prison because she was inquiring about the whereabouts of Ke's mother and son. Even the eldest young lady did the same thing. How can a humble servant like me do this? ”
The housekeeper's wife was also a servant in the Zhu Mansion. When she heard her old man's complaint, she immediately became excited, "I'm telling you, the eldest young master is strange, and the eldest young lady is also not right. All the maids and women serving her are brought in from outside." There is also Po Wen who has come back. Even Po Wen has been prepared in advance. She is probably a maid who knows medical skills.
In addition, there were seven or eight people serving her. None of the servants in our house wanted to step into the eldest lady's yard. I was really curious, so I wanted to go in under the pretext of delivering things. After checking it out, I couldn't even touch the door of the house in the old city. It was better when I came here. I was stopped outside the courtyard the second I entered.
Although there is something wrong with her sneaking back as a woman who has committed a crime, she is still so secretive at home, which is obviously fishy! What situation are you talking about? ”
The housekeeper glared at his wife and warned: "Don't inquire about the young lady's affairs. Even the master can't control it. If you dare to inquire again, be careful of getting your neck wiped!"
The housekeeper's wife was startled and muttered, "Why don't you ask if you don't want to ask! Who are you trying to scare? But I know the whereabouts of Ke's mother and son."
"What? What did you say?" The housekeeper looked at the person next to him in disbelief, thinking that he was hallucinating.
But my wife spoke categorically, "I'm serious! Didn't I like to chat around the city before? As I was talking, someone started talking about Shenjiazhuang and mentioned the village school there. I was curious and asked more Some, guess what?
At first! The gentleman the lady was looking for went to Shenjiazhuang, but everyone said that the gentleman brought up the family and had a beautiful daughter-in-law and son. I thought about it carefully later and realized that it was the Ke family and their son!
If you want to do this, you have to go to Shenjiazhuang, but today's Shenjiazhuang is no longer the Shenjiazhuang of the past. I heard that elegant walls and gates have been built. There are many old people guarding the entrance to the village. Strangers will be stopped by those people as soon as they enter. I came down to inquire, and when I found something was wrong, I kicked him out.
In addition, Ke's cousin is the wife of the county magistrate. Didn't you say that the eldest young master and the county magistrate had a falling out? What to do about this? ”
Listening to the old wife's words, the housekeeper's heart skipped a beat and he almost fell ill.
He immediately put on his shoes and hurriedly went to Zhu Yixuan to report, "Young master, if you want to inquire about Ke's mother and son, you can only ask the county magistrate or his wife. If you are a young person, you may not even be able to enter the county magistrate's house. Go.”
Zhu Yixuan was really annoyed to death, it was Shen Yi again! It seems that everything has been going wrong for him since he first met Shen Yi. They just fell out a while ago, is it possible that he is asked to beg Shen Yi now?
No! He will never bow to Shen Yi!
"That's all, since we can't find out now, let's put it aside for now and wait until we have the opportunity to talk about it later."
He didn't believe that Shen Yi could keep going smoothly. He could only achieve his goal by waiting for Shen Yi to be unlucky before he came forward to make demands.
Zhu Yixuan chose to stay dormant and became very low-key even when doing things.
This puzzled Lu Tong and Shen Yi, who were secretly watching the Zhu Mansion. They did not think that Zhu Yixuan had compromised, but instead became more vigilant.
At this moment, the caravan set off with goods such as strawberry jam sweaters and jewelry.
Su Tai also followed the caravan into the city and came to Qingfengzhai.
When Su Yu heard the noise, she ran out of the shop and said goodbye to Su Shengyi who was riding on the horse.
"Stop looking! They're all gone!" Su Tai's teasing voice sounded in Su Yu's ears. (End of chapter)
