Chapter 542 Women (two chapters in one)
Pearl holds a pen and is writing, stroke by stroke, forcefully and neatly.
Zhou Saochen pulled his neck and looked at it: "Why are you writing this? Are you not afraid of being leaked after reading it?"
Pearl didn't say anything, and finished writing carefully, read it word by word, and then took it to the ashes before taking it to the candlelight.
"The princess said that a good memory is not as good as a bad pen. Writing it once can deepen the impression and avoid some details falling over time."
"Hmph", Zhou Saochen snorted coldly, "I have never seen a princess write."
"The princess's calligraphy is a natural school. She is worried that she will be stolen, so she will not be displayed in front of others." The pearls went to the ashes that fell on the table and carefully put them in the flower pot.
Zhou Saochen was too lazy to pay attention to him, so he opened the window. This was her room. Looking around, it was the only street with a name in Shifeng County. Shifeng Street is easy to remember.
"The Wu family's baby is quite dedicated. It's so late and he's still following him."
Zhou Saochen waved at the small black shadow somewhere on the street, worried that he would not see clearly, so he brought the candlestick over and looked at his face.
"Sister, be careful, don't burn your hair." Pearl kindly reminded.
Zhou Saochen rushed towards the man Pipiya, and the man left in the desert. She closed the window and sat back again, saying to Zhenzhu: "It's late, get back to your own room."
Pearl smiled and said, "Sister, the one named Wu should do it tonight. Just my three-legged cat skills, do you have the heart to let me get back?"
He also brought his luggage. What is the difference between men and women? No life matters. Before leaving Shi Feng, he would rely on Zhou Saochen.
Zhou Saochen rolled his eyelids, kicked the luggage on the ground, and cursed: "What's the use of you besides being too careless? You just want to covet Lu Ying'er, just dream."
Pearl's face changed: "Sister, I've had this dream in my life. Don't hit me anymore. Can't I finish my dream?"
Zhou Saochen snorted again, closing his eyes to rest.
Pearl moved the chair to Zhou Shouchen's side, and the closer he was to the female killer god, the more he became.
After another Shichen passed, Pearl was already asleep, opening her mouth, and saliva flowed down her neck into the collar.
Zhou Saochen looked at him with a sarcastic look. Why are there no decent people around him like Prince Rui?
Zhou Saochen kicked Zhenzhu's leg with the tip of his shoe. Zhenzhu was alert and immediately opened his eyes. Zhou Saochen winked at him, waved his palm, and extinguished the candlelight.
After a brief silence, the sound of ping-pong sounded in the room, followed by two muffled groans. When the candlelight ignites again, everything has returned to peace.
Zhou Saochen looked at the two people lying on the ground and asked, "What's next?"
Pearl carefully crawled out from under the table. Grandma, if he had known these two people were so useless, he would have stood up. Now, let Zhou Saochen take a joke.
"If you ask someone named Wu to leave the city, you can't let him die in the city."
The princess said that it is not allowed to cause trouble for local officials. This is a favor and a handle. Things that can be solved with money and force are not big things. Since it is not a big thing, and it is stupid to owe favors and leave a handle to others.
Pearl had long seen that in this life, there was only Miss Zhou who could tolerate the stupid person in the princess's life. Pearl didn't have such a big face, so he could only be a smart pearl.
自从挨了揍又被人在大腿上刻字之后,吴员外便有了心理阴影,哪怕是看到最心爱的娇姨娘,他也还是软趴趴的,因此,这些日子,他都是一个人睡,丫鬟也换成了小厮,免得他看着闹心.
Despite this, as long as you close your eyes, the scene of that day will come to your mind, like a haze, lingering.
"Master, Master, something happened!"
Mr. Wu opened his eyes suddenly, sat up quickly, and used too much force. A burst of pain came from the wound on his thigh. Mr. Wu didn't care about these things and asked, "What's the matter?"
Tonight, he asked Mr. Mo to send someone to the inn!
"Two people were thrown at the gate, at the gate." The servant looked panicked. Just now someone knocked on the door. When the door opened the door, he saw two bloody people thrown at the door.
"Are those two dead?" Mr. Wu asked in a deep voice.
"No, I'm not dead, I'm still angry." The servant hurriedly said.
"Help me out, I want to see it with my own eyes." Wu Yuanwai gritted his teeth. They sent out two people, and there were two people in the inn, but since they were thrown into the front of the mansion, these two people would definitely not be from the inn, but his people.
This is the killer he asked Mr. Mo to hire for a lot of money. After all, the two people in the inn did not know their origins, so he did not dare to use his own people rashly.
Mr. Mo had already checked the injuries of the two men before him, and they were all injured, but after closer inspection, none of them was fatal.
Both of them had rags stuffed into their mouths. Mr. Mo took out the rags. Then they said intermittently: "It was the woman who took action. She was really amazing. I don't know which person in the world. The man seemed to have no martial arts skills. He hid under the table at that time. The two seemed to be about to leave and had their luggage packed."
"They have done so many things and want to leave Shi Feng alive?" Wu Yuanwai gritted his teeth.
Mr. Mo thought so too. The two men became enigmatic. At first, he suspected that this was someone sent by Duke Ding, but after careful consideration, he did not look like him.
These two people acted evilly. Since they could take action, they would have taken the lives of Mr. Du and his wife, but they did a ridiculous thing about engraving words on Mr. Wu's legs. Could it be that in their opinion, dealing with Mr. Du and his wife is a serious matter, while Mr. Wu and Tian Zhenzhen are just a prank?
Originally, Mr. Mo wanted to stop. These two people were probably Mr. Du's enemies. They came for Mr. Du. They were dealt with together because Mr. Wu and Mr. Du were engaged in business. Moreover, compared with Mr. Du and his wife, Mr. Wu only suffered some skin injuries.
As for Tian Zhenzhen being relieved, Mrs. Guo died of illness, and Yan Zhaoshi Dingyou, the former was also an unlucky guy who was implicated by Mr. Du, and the two people behind had nothing to do with this matter.
Therefore, even if these two people came from the capital, they had nothing to do with the Duke of Dingguo Mansion.
The reason why Mr. Mo initially suspected the Duke Dingguo Mansion, not the Prince Rui's Mansion, was because he felt that Princess Rui had just passed the door. Even if she knew that her stepmother was debauchery, she would not dare to take action. She could only hide such a thing from the people in the capital, so as not to be known to her and affect her reputation.
However, the Dingguo Duke's Mansion is different. Although Princess Rui is the stepdaughter, she is also the daughter of the married Duke's Mansion. Princess Rui dare not take action, but the Dingguo Duke's Mansion will not. Even for its own benefit, Princess Rui's reputation cannot be damaged. Therefore, if something happens to Wu Yuanwai and Tian Zhenzhen, the most likely person to take action is the Dingguo Duke's Mansion.
When news of Mr. Du and Mrs. Yang came, Mr. Mo went to investigate. However, except for finding out that when Tian Zhenzhen was in confinement, Mrs. Yang, like many merchant ladies, had come to congratulate her, the Du family and Yan family had no intersection.
And when he arrived at the door, Mrs. Yang only gave her a basket of eggs.
Therefore, Mr. Mo was sure that the goal of this man and a woman was only the Du family.
Now, he once again confirmed his speculation from the two killers. Mr. Du and his wife died, and the two were about to leave Shifeng County.
But Mr. Wu refused to agree. He could not be beaten for nothing, and his thighs could not be engraved with words. Moreover, if these two people left like this, he would probably never want to take revenge in his life.
"Now the city gate is closed, they cannot leave the city. You can send someone to guard the city gate immediately. You cannot let them leave Shi Feng alive. I cannot be in vain for my injury. I must let them pay their lives!"
Mr. Wu was extremely angry, and Mr. Mo frowned. He pointed to the two people on the ground and said, "Master, it's too late to hire someone again now."
Mr. Wu was furious: "What we hired for money is also waste. It's better to be our own people. Go and call all the people we left in the city!"
Mr. Mo's brows moved. Is Mr. Wu going to kill the enemy?
"Master, these two people are not here for us. Let's stop when we see it."
"Go to go, your mother will stop when she sees it's time to go. The knife is not cut on your leg. Stop talking nonsense, go quickly!"
Mr. Wu has always respected Mr. Mo, but now he has sweared, and he is really anxious when he sees it.
Mr. Mo sighed, turned around and walked out of the yard, called a confidant over and asked him to call all the people living in Kouzi Lane over.
Kouzi Lane is not far from Wu's Mansion, where more than fifty people live, all of whom are young and strong raised by Wu Yuanwai. These people never come out of here. If there is something unsuccessful in business, these people will go over and beat the person to death.
After a while, the fifty people gathered in the Wu Mansion. Wu Yuanwai was supported by someone and stood on the steps. Looking at the young faces that were red by torches, Wu Yuanwai shouted: "A head is three hundred taels!"
One head is three hundred taels, two are six hundred taels.
In Shifeng, a place where birds are so poor that they don’t poop, six hundred taels of silver is enough for a family of more than a dozen sips of food and drink for a lifetime.
No one of these fifty people had seen those two people. Those who had seen those two people are still lying in the yard. In desperation, Mr. Mo had to send someone to call the restaurant clerk over. The clerk had seen these two people.
More than fifty people left the Wu Mansion in a mighty manner. Mr. Mo personally directed the team. One team went to the inn, and the other team was ambushed on the only way to the city gate.
The Wu family finally returned to peace. The young masters and ladies of the Wu family did not come out. These days, the family was in trouble. The father was injured and had a eccentric temper. His mother turned aside and looked like a crazy woman. She abused and beat the aunt and the wife every day, but her father ignored her. The concubines and daughters were in a panic all day long, and the legitimate son and daughters were not much better, for fear that their mother would be crazy, and the father would sweep her mother out.
Tonight, they hid in their respective rooms and became more and more scared as they listened to the movements at home.
It was not until she could no longer hear the sound outside that Miss Wu Er took the courage to go to her mother's yard.
Mrs. Wu's eyes were dull. When she saw her daughter coming, she rushed up and hugged her daughter tightly.
"Your father is crazy. He was bewitched by that woman. He really thought he was going to be a royal relative. He is crazy!"
Miss Wu Er was stunned and asked, "Mom, are you talking about Tian?"
Miss Wu Er is still in the palace, but she also heard some rumors on the street. In addition to the words of her mother crying and scolding alone, she roughly understood that the reason why her father was caught was because of the Tian family who was abandoned by Lord Yan.
"She? She's a big deal!" Mrs. Wu became more and more afraid the more she thought about it. She held her daughter's hand and said hurriedly, "Mom has decided to let you get married early. If you get married, it will have nothing to do with the Wu family. No matter how big the disaster is, it will not involve you."
Miss Wu Er had been engaged long ago. Her fiancé was a scholar in the city. Although her family was not as good as the Wu family, she was a real scholar. She was expected to be admitted to the imperial examination in the future. Her mother asked someone and finally booked this marriage for her.
The wedding date is approaching, and just three months later, the dowry is ready. It is not impossible to get ahead of time.
"But why do you have to hurry to marry your daughter? The city is so far away from Shifeng. After your daughter gets married, I am afraid that I will not be able to come back all year round."
"If you can't come back, don't come back. The farther you are from this family, the better," Mrs. Wu thought about it, and said cruelly, "Since your father came back from the capital last time, he was like he was blinded by lard, and he was determined to hook up with the little fairy named Tian. That woman was not kind. I advised your father, but he said that I had long hair and short knowledge."
Back from the Fucheng?
Miss Wu Er remembered that her father was going to work in the capital city and just happened to confirm the wedding date with her future husband's house, so she took her mother with her.
It seems that after I came back that my family changed.
"Is the woman you are talking about Tian?" Ms. Wu Er asked tentatively.
"Of course not. The surname Tian is nothing, it's just a belly." Although it's just a belly, Mrs. Wu still gritted her teeth and wanted to peel Tian Zhenzhen and get cramps. "When I was on the way back from the capital city, I was hitting the tip of the street restaurant, a few people were there. Their carriage was broken and it couldn't be repaired for a while. Your father saw that they were talking about official language and had a good conversation, so he chatted with them. As he was talking, the heroine of those people came over.
You know your father, who can't walk when he sees a woman. It's okay that the woman is dressed in a different style, but she still wears a veil. Only the rich women in the capital will wear a veil. In our Shifeng County, there is no one wearing that. Your father immediately looks like a dog who sees a bone. Oh, forget it, I'm too lazy to say it.
Later, he and the woman hit it off and gave our carriage to the woman, which made us stay for two more days on the way before we could buy the carriage back.
I thought this matter had passed, so I had already left it behind. Unexpectedly, after about half a month, a guest came to my family. He was a manager under the woman. The woman was devoted to the Buddha and now lives in Xiangyun Temple, ten miles outside the city. There were two masters and a female lay Buddhist in Xiangyun Temple. The woman gave the money and invited all three of them away. She became the owner of Xiangyun Temple.
Your father was like he was caught in an evil spirit. He asked me to take you over to visit him. He also said that he knew the beads with a keen eye. This woman must have been of extraordinary origin. I didn't want you to meet the woman of unknown origin. So I didn't tell you that I went there myself."
