Chapter 149 This person is really sick!

Since that night, Yu Qinghuan has been busy with Sang Ru buying things for the new house.

Xie Zhiwen had been looking for Wang for two days, but Wang refused to see anyone, claiming she was feeling unwell. Once again, he was stopped in the courtyard. He grabbed Liu Pozi and questioned her:

"Why has Mother been avoiding me? Could it be that she's feeling guilty about forcing Ah Huan to take over the throne?"

Old Lady Liu was shocked. The Marquis really knew about this. She smiled awkwardly and said, "I don't know what you are talking about. The old lady has been feeling unwell for the past two days and has even asked a doctor to see her."

If it were an ordinary day, Xie Zhiwen would have believed it and even said a few words of concern.

But at this moment, he was only interested in knowing what had happened in the past year and finding out why his mother was so pushy. Now that Wang was avoiding him, he was very angry and extremely disappointed.

I wanted to know the whole thing from my mother, but she avoided me. The people in the Marquis' Mansion who knew the situation refused to speak, and Ah Huan was determined to leave and refused to tell me anything else. Now I can only go find the people in the manor who knew the situation and ask them clearly!

Xie Zhiwen rode a horse out of the capital and headed straight for the farm outside the city.

...

At this time, Yu Qinghuan took Sang Ru out to the new house again.

The house is located in a quiet street. It is not very big, but it has a large yard where you can plant some flowers and plants. I even invited someone to play with it on the swing these two days.

Sang Ru was particularly happy, "Madam, we finally have a home of our own!"

Although it is only as big as the courtyard of the Marquis' Mansion, it is my own house after all. There are no annoying people like Wang, and I don't have to look at anyone's mood to do things. I can make my own decisions on everything!

"Yeah." Yu Qinghuan was also happy. He sat on the swing and swung a few times, thinking: This swing is quite sturdy, more than enough for two people to sit on.

"Once we clear the vines in the yard and clean the house, we can move in."

Sang Ru nodded repeatedly, "I will clean up the courtyard wall today, and come back to clean up the house tomorrow morning!"

In fact, she was eager to clean up the house today and move out of the mansion, but it was too late, so she could only clean up the vines that were climbing all over the wall first.

Hearing this, Yu Qing laughed, "Don't be so anxious, we can just find someone to clean it tomorrow."

Sang Ru insisted on doing it herself, so she walked to the courtyard wall and found tools to cut the vines on the wall.

After a while, Sang Ru exclaimed, "Girl, there is a door in this wall!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Qinghuan jumped down from the swing, lifted up her skirt and stepped over the vines and broken branches on the ground. She saw a corner of the mottled part of the wall. She pushed aside the vines on the wall and found a locked wooden door behind it.

It was originally covered tightly by layers of vines, so it had not been seen in the past two days.

Sang Ru pushed aside the vines and saw that the copper lock was already rusted and the keyhole was blocked with dirt.

"The dentist who sold the house didn't mention there was a door. Could it be an alley leading to the outside?"

While Sang Ru was still wondering, Yu Qinghuan had already picked up the axe on the ground and chopped it directly on the copper lock. After two "clangs", the lock broke and fell to the ground.

Sang Ru immediately took the axe and put it down, then opened the door. He saw that the other side of the door was also covered with vines.

She struggled to push aside the vines and saw that the other side of the door was not the alley she had imagined, but another courtyard, which was obviously much larger than theirs.

Sang Ru: "Miss, it's a yard."

Yu Qinghuan wondered, such a small house has two courtyards?

The master and servant walked through the wooden door and saw that this yard was completely different from theirs. It was neatly cleaned and there was a small medicinal field. The whole yard was filled with the fragrance of medicinal herbs.

And right next to the wooden door, there was a food box, which clearly showed that someone was living there.

Yu Qinghuan frowned slightly. Just as she was wondering what was going on, she heard a faint cat's meow coming from not far away.

She immediately took a few steps forward and saw a red figure lying on a rocking chair next to the flower stand in the yard. Next to the rocking chair, two kittens were lying there, lazily basking in the sun.

Hearing footsteps, the kitten meowed and stared warily at the stranger who suddenly appeared in the yard.

The person in the rocking chair heard the noise and turned his head to look.

The moment their eyes met, Yu Qinghuan regretted breaking the lock.

Sang Ru at the back widened her eyes. She could even run into this... What kind of bad fate is this for the girl!

The master and servant were familiar with the person lying on the rocking chair. It was Cheng Gongjin, whom they had just met a few days ago. Who would have thought that such a great figure as the cabinet minister of the current dynasty would appear in this small courtyard!

Glancing at the person coming, Cheng Gongjin sat up from his rocking chair, and with his bony hands, he picked up the cat, whose fur stood on end due to fright, and brought it into his arms to comfort it.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Yu Qinghuan thought of the painting he had seen in Mu Huaian's study. The scene that he had found unimaginable at the time now appeared before his eyes.

Cheng Gongjin, a man who was so decisive and resolute in the court that everyone had to stay away from him, actually kept a cat!

If those people in the court knew about this, they would probably be shocked.

The kitten was quickly comforted, jumped off Cheng Gongjin, and ran out of the yard with another cat.

Cheng Gongjin then looked towards Yu Qinghuan, his eyes fixed on the wooden door that was originally covered by vines for a while, and he said in a calm voice, "Madam Yu, is there something wrong?"

Yu Qinghuan immediately asked, "Is this your house?"

Cheng Gongjin frowned slightly, not really wanting to respond to her.

"It's my house."

At this point, Yu Qinghuan had already confirmed that he had been cheated, and the dealer must have sold the house twice!

She frowned and explained, "This is the house I just bought. I didn't expect it to be yours. The dentist must have been a rip-off. I'm going to settle the score with him right now..."

Sang Rudu, who was standing behind, was furious. He had worked so hard to buy someone else's house, but the ivory dealer dared to cheat him in front of the emperor. He was really bold.

Cheng Gongjin interrupted Yu Qinghuan and said, "The ivory dealer didn't lie."

The master and servant were puzzled. What did it mean?

Cheng Gongjin explained calmly, "They were originally two houses. Because the previous owners knew each other, they connected the courtyards to facilitate travel."

Hearing this, Yu Qinghuan finally understood that he was standing on someone else's house.

She breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Sang Ru had been cheated. Fortunately, the house was hers.

Sang Ru was puzzled. Since the yard was opened up, why was it locked later?

I'll have to ask the dentist later to clarify things, and don't let him get involved in anything!

Yu Qinghuan looked around and asked curiously, "Why do you live here, old man?"

Is there something special here?

Cheng Gongjin narrowed his eyes almost imperceptibly, "The Cheng Mansion is too big."

Yu Qinghuan's forehead twitched: "......"

There are people who complain that their house is too big. This person is really sick!
