Chapter 109 Dong'er leaves the house
Chen Wanxin has not been to Yunlai Inn for several days. The servant who greeted her was still the usual servant. Seeing Chen Wanxin coming, he was very happy, "Miss Chen, you are here. Our shopkeeper has been waiting for you for several days."
After listening to it, Chen Wanxin was puzzled. Could it be that the manager Meng was looking for her? What's wrong with Yu Jue?
"Miss Chen, you are here." Manager Meng happened to walk out of the inner room and saw Chen Wanxin, showing a happy expression.
"Yes, Manager Meng, I haven't seen each other for several days. I'm today..." Wan Xin was interrupted by Manager Meng before he could open his mouth to explain his purpose. "Ms. Chen, we are talking inside."
Chen Wanxin nodded and asked Mingyue to wait here, and followed Manager Meng to the inner room alone.
After entering the inner room, Manager Meng's smile was gone in an instant, and he looked worried. He looked at Chen Wanxin with a sad face, "Miss Chen, something has changed in the matter of Yujue."
Wan Xin was not only a headache when she heard the word "Yu Jue", but she had no energy to deal with every bit of Yu Jue at the moment. Especially now that the royal family has also been involved, there are more and more people involved in this matter, completely beyond the current scope of Chen Wan Xin's ability.
Seeing that Chen Wanxin did not respond, Store Manager Meng thought Wanxin was worried about his life safety. Store Manager Meng couldn't help but think that after all, she was still a little girl, and I really don't know why Liu Anyang chose her. At this point, he bit the bullet and continued, "Liu Anyang's injury has been cured recently. We plan to take Liu Anyang back to the capital on the fifteenth month next month, so that it will be safer whether it is to protect her or act."
When Manager Meng said this, he paused and his sadness became even stronger. "A few days ago, Landlord Liu, is Liu Anyang's nominal husband, who was kidnapped by someone who didn't know his origin, and has not returned yet... His life and death are uncertain now."
Chen Wanxin was shocked when he heard this. Landlord Liu was the person she knew. When he was in the countryside, Landlord Liu was a domineering place. Everyone knew about it within a radius of ten miles and eight villages. Even the local prefect gave Landlord Liu three points of shame. Why are he kidnapped now? "Can you report it to the official?"
"I reported to the official that day, but the government investigated for a few days and had no clue at all. Although Liu Anyang had recovered, the remaining poison in her body had not been removed. Now we don't know if the person who hijacked Landlord Liu came to Liu Anyang and Yujue." Manager Meng is also an old world who has seen many markets. Now hesitated. He is very sad. He can't figure out the other party's identity and intentions. He is also hesitant about whether to take Liu Anyang back to Beijing as planned. If the other party's people came to Liu Anyang, then they will not only expose Liu Anyang, but also expose their identity and position. They will completely fall into a passive situation.
Manager Meng did not explain so many things to Chen Wanxin, but how could Chen Wanxin not understand the danger and unknown?
"How many days have Landlord Liu been missing so far?" Chen Wanxin thought for a moment and asked a key time question.
"Three days, it's been three days today."
"If the other party really came for Liu Anyang and Yujue and kidnapped Landlord Liu, it was because he knew the most about the local people. No matter which village came in the countryside, some people were strangers or strange dogs, and they could not escape the suspicion of Landlord Liu. The other party was likely to have mastered that the people and things they were looking for were in that place." Chen Wanxin said his own opinion, which caused Manager Meng to nod frequently. He did not expect that this little girl would actually tell the key point in one sentence.
Chen Wanxin looked up at Manager Meng. She saw Manager Meng showing a complete agreement with her remarks and continued, "What does Landlord Liu know? Can you tell me how much did Liu Anyang become Landlord Liu's concubine? Finally, I can't understand. I have lived in the countryside for more than ten years and have some understanding of Landlord Liu. How did Liu Anyang use to marry Landlord Liu as his concubine, but he has not fulfilled his family with him?"
When Manager Meng heard the word "Reunion of the House", he was shocked. Chen Wanxin was just a little girl. Why did he tell such private things so proudly, and he didn't look any hesitant. Chen Wanxin ignored Manager Meng's strange expression and continued to say on his own, "If he kidnapped Landlord Liu, if he had to know too much, then Liu Anyang's current situation would be very dangerous, and even... your situation would be very dangerous."
Sweat beads appeared on the fat manager Meng's head, which shows that he was nervous and unsure of the matter. He ignored the sweat that had already flowed from his head and said, "I only knew about this recently. Liu Anyang almost died after being poisoned. He never thought he was attracted by human traffickers. Seeing that Liu Anyang was beautiful, the trafficker thought she was sick when she saw that she was weak and thought she would recover after a few days of conditioning. He was about to take her to the capital and pass by the countryside. This trafficker and Landlord Liu have been acquainted with Landlord Liu for many years, so he showed his new goods to Landlord Liu. Landlord Liu fell in love with Liu Anyang at first sight and kept her and took her as his concubine. I think Liu Anyang should not have told Landlord Liu about the matter about Yujue. As for the completion of the house you mentioned... I don't know this."
Chen Wanxin nodded after hearing this, "Do you usually communicate with Liu Anyang by Feige?"
Manager Meng nodded, "Ms. Chen is right. We have always used pigeons to convey information, but since Landlord Liu disappeared, I no longer dared to have letters with Liu Anyang, for fear of being found clues."
"This is the safest way. Today I came here to ask Manager Meng for help." Chen Wanxin changed the division and began to talk about Shen Dong'er.
Manager Meng's mind was still on Liu Anyang. When he heard Chen Wanxin's words, he didn't react at the time, "Miss Chen, you are so good at joking. Now that he is like this, what else can I help you?"
Chen Wanxin looked at Manager Meng quietly, and his face showed a look that was completely inconsistent with his age. "This is very simple, and I will not let Boss Meng help for nothing. I have a gangster girl, the daughter of my third aunt. Now that the third aunt has passed away, my sister's only brother is about to join the army. My poor sister is unwilling to stay in the Shen family. Staying in the Shen family is just a little sad. I am unable to protect myself now and I don't have the energy to protect her. So she wants to leave the capital and find an institution to study. This school can be in the deep mountains and forests, or in a border town. As long as I can teach her some knowledge, it's fine."
"This is not a difficult task." Manager Meng did not immediately agree to Chen Wanxin after hearing this.
When Chen Wanxin saw the expression of Manager Meng, he knew that this old man would not be willing to do a loss-making business, so he said, "If Manager Meng helps my sister find an institution that can take her in, I will go to the countryside to see what the situation is like. Let's make the next decision."
After Chen Wanxin finished speaking, he looked at Manager Meng quietly and waited for his response. Sure enough, Manager Meng was overjoyed when he heard that Chen Wanxin was going to the countryside in person, "Ms. Chen, are you saying true?"
Chen Wanxin nodded, "As long as Manager Meng arranges my sister's school, I will go to the countryside to see Liu Anyang myself. I haven't seen her for several months now, and I really miss her a little."
Manager Meng's fat head was like a wooden fish, and he patted his chest and said that everything was covered with him. Within three days, everything would be arranged.
"Then I'll wait for Manager Meng in Shen's Mansion. I'll prepare too. I'll report back to my father when I go back to the countryside."
"What you want, Miss Chen, don't worry..."
Chen Wanxin returned to Chen Mansion and found Shen Dong'er. Today was originally the day when Wu was buried. Master Shen did not ask any Shen family to mourn. Wu's funeral was not as good as a loyal servant in the Shen family. Master Shen himself did not go to mourn, let alone Liu, saying that he wanted to go but was pregnant and afraid that the child would rush to such a place. Jiang saw that Master Shen and Liu did not go, so he did not mention this matter. I wonder if she would feel guilty because of Wu's death.
After Chen Jian knew that he was going to join the army, he started drinking non-stop. Now he was drunk and unconscious. Shen Dong'er was the only one in the Chen Mansion, who attended his mother's funeral. She was dressed in white and did not wear mourning on her head. Mr. Shen was afraid that the funeral would be detrimental to the newborn, so he forbidden anyone to wear mourning. The Chen Mansion did not have the atmosphere of an aunt and grandma. The only difference was that Wu's yard was empty.
Chen Wanxin found her dazed by the lake where Shen Dong'er was looking for a short-lived person on that day. Shen Dong'er saw Chen Wanxin and looked at the lake with empty eyes and said, "Sister-in-law, you say, my father said that he was not lucky and didn't let me burn some paper for my mother. I want to know, and I'm going to scold me again."
Chen Wanxin shook his head, "No one will blame you. Things have passed and will get better slowly. You have already gained some insights into your studies."
After hearing this, Shen Dong'er finally felt a little energetic, "Is it true? Sister, what you said is true? Can I leave the Shen Mansion? Leave the capital?"
Chen Wanxin nodded. She knew that Shen Dong'er was completely disappointed with this place. The memories of her here were nothing but hatred and pain.
"Legitimate sister, then when can I go to school? Where is this school?" Shen Dong'er asked anxiously, and she wished she would set off tomorrow to leave this place of right and wrong.
Chen Wanxin was a little embarrassed, "This is not clear about the school location for the time being, but don't worry, it must be a better place than here. You can go to school in less than three days."
Shen Dong'er nodded, held Wan Xin's hand with both hands, and stared at her sincerely, "Sister-in-law, will you wait for me?"
Wan Xinhui looked firm, "Silly girl, I'm here."
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will definitely study hard, not let your hopes down, nor let myself down..." Originally, Shen Dong'er wanted to say that she would not let Wu's expectations down, but a mother had never had any plans for her, just wanted her to marry someone who could pay more dowry.
After Chen Wanxin talked to Shen Dong'er about studying, she also found Liu. She was going to the countryside in a few days. Now her identity is not something she can leave the capital at will. It is easy to leave the Shen Mansion. If she wants to leave the capital, it will take three or five days to go. If she doesn't report to her mother, it may cause some uproar.
She came to Liu's yard and Hua Yin opened the door. Chen Wanxin was not familiar with this maid. She only knew that this person was Liu's current confidant, "Can the legitimate mother be in the room?"
When Hua Yin saw Wan Xin, she was very alert. She had already known the power of the person in front of her through the mouths of Liu and Shen Rufei. She looked at Chen Wanxin alertly, not knowing how to reply.
Chen Wanxin guessed what Hua Yin thought, "You don't have to be so alert. I'm just here to talk to my mother and have no other ideas. If it is inconvenient, I can also ask my father to come and do some supervision next to me?"
Hua Yin felt embarrassed when she heard Chen Wanxin say this. After all, she was a servant. How could she stop the Shen family’s legitimate lady? She slightly turned her body halfway, "Mrs. rest in the room, the eldest lady waits for me to tell her."
Chen Wanxin nodded, staring at the departure Hua Yin's back, and a hint of coldness appeared in his heart.
When Liu heard Chen Wanxin looking for her, she picked up the shelf and asked Wanxin to wait outside for a full moment before she could appear by Hua Yin. Seeing Wanxin standing in the center of the living room with an unchanged expression, a fake smile appeared on her face, "Wanxin, I have been waiting for you for a long time. Look at me, I am pregnant, and it is inconvenient to move."
Wan Xin glanced at Liu's belly and replied, "I haven't waited for a long time, but I'm still here to disturb my mother. I hope my mother will not blame me. I want to leave the capital for a few days in a few days."
"Oh? Where are you going? You are the legitimate lady of Chen Mansion now. She is no longer as good as her previous life in the countryside. Why do you want to leave Beijing?" Liu Shi really seemed to be inconvenient to move, and asked Hua Yin to hold her slowly on the chair.
Chen Wanxin couldn't help but applaud her in this performance. The real pregnant woman might not be as sincere as Liu's praise.
Chen Wanxin was not displeased by Liu's sarcastic sarcasm, and said respectfully, "The lesson taught by my mother is just that the embroidery work I took before is now sent to my client. There is a client who is the concubine of the landlord's family in the countryside. I am afraid that if I don't send it to him personally, it will make the other party unhappy. I also hope that the mother of the legitimate mother will approve it. Wanxin will remember the family rules in the future..."
When Liu heard that Chen Wanxin was going to the small rural yard in the past, she felt relieved. She wanted Chen Wanxin to leave as far as possible, and it would be better not to come back, but she still asked hypocritically, "How long do you want to go? Pay attention to safety on this journey."
Chen Wanxin heard Liu's promise so readily, "It's as fast as ten days, as slow as half a month. You don't know that the landlord's concubine is very picky. If she is not satisfied with the embroidery, I will repair it for her in the countryside."
Liu nodded, "Don't do this kind of thing in the future. After all, you are the legitimate lady of Shen's Shuiyun, and it is not embarrassing to spread it."
Chen Wanxin said obediently, "What my mother said is that taking me back will definitely reduce embroidery work. However, my mother needs to take care of her health. Her body looks a bit pregnant."
Liu was very happy when she heard Chen Wanxin say that her figure was pregnant. She was very happy. Recently, she kept eating, just to make herself more charming. It seemed that her efforts had reduced her results.
After Chen Wanxin achieved her goal, she did not stay any longer and said goodbye to Liu and left. She went back to prepare for leaving Beijing, because she not only had to go to the countryside to inquire about Liu Anyang's situation, but also had one more important thing waiting for her to do.
