Tang Chuyao didn't dare to trust others easily, so she was skeptical about Xu Rulan's words.
She had to investigate these things herself to find out.
"The child next to Aunt Lan is..."
Tang Chuyao didn't finish her words, but Xu Rulan understood immediately. Thinking of Tang Chuheng, Xu Rulan's face softened, "Miss, don't worry, Heng'er is not!"
"Heng'er is a very well behaved child, born to me!"
For some reason, Tang Chuyao actually felt a little sympathy for her scumbag father at this moment. The scumbag father had four children in total. Except for her and Tang Chuying, the two sons were not his own!
How ironic!
If only she wasn't the daughter of a bad father...
Tang Chuyao nodded and said nothing. After being reborn, it was not so easy for her to trust others.
"Since Aunt Lan has already entered the mansion, we will have to spend more time together in the future."
"You don't have to call me Miss, just call me Miss like everyone else!"
"Yes, Miss!" Xu Rulan replied respectfully, and then seemed to think about something, and said, "Today, I heard Aunt Mei say that she followed the master's fourth daughter. Could it be that Aunt Mei was with Aunt Mei before Madam entered the mansion?"
Tang Chuyao was not too surprised. Ever since she knew that Tang Chuying was one year older than her, she had guessed it!
Xu Rulan said goodbye and left when she saw that Tang Chuyao had no other instructions...
"Miss, is this Aunt Lan from our general's mansion?" Du Juan asked as she watched Xu Rulan leave.
"It's still unknown..." Tang Chuyao observed Xu Rulan for a while before making any further comments.
Du Juan nodded thoughtfully.
After Du Juan left, Tang Chuyao called Ye Yu.
"Miss, what can I do for you?" Ye Yu asked respectfully.
"I asked you to investigate Tang Youze before. How is it going?"
Ye Yu informed Tang Chuyao of some of the investigation results, "Miss, we are only investigating these few things at the moment."
"Tang Youze did meet Xu Rulan six years ago and kept her here."
"Xu Rulan gave birth to a child for Tang Youze five years ago, named Tang Chuheng."
Ye Yu paused and told Tang Chuyao a strange thing.
"The courtyard where Xu Rulan lived originally belonged to her, but she pretended that the courtyard was rented. Tang Youze gave Xu Rulan a sum of money and asked her to buy the courtyard."
Tang Chuyao saw Ye Yu frowning slightly and asked, "Do you want to know why Xu Rulan did this?"
Ye Yu nodded and said, "I do have doubts!"
Tang Chuyao told Ye Yu what Xu Rulan had told her today. Ye Yu opened her mouth wide, "There's a green grassland above Tang Youze's head!"
Tang Chuyao did not comment, and then ordered, "Go check whether Tang Youze and his men have any dealings with the Liao Dynasty?"
"Yes!" When Ye Yu was getting up to leave, a picture album fell from her.
It just fell at Tang Chuyao's feet. Tang Chuyao bent down to pick it up and took a look at it. "The Future Prince Can't Stop Wanting Me".
Ye Yu was a little embarrassed for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Miss, can you return this to me?"
Tang Chuyao didn't open it to read. The illustration on the cover was of a man and a woman on a bed. It was hard to see clearly through the veil, but it was vaguely visible that the two of them were naked. It was really exciting to see...
Tang Chuyao glanced at Ye Yu, who was wearing a black suit, with his hair tied up high, and a serious expression. He didn't look like someone who would secretly keep pornographic books!
Alas, donโt judge a book by its cover!
"Miss, please don't misunderstand, this is Ye Feng's!" Ye Yu said calmly.
"Yeah." Tang Chuyao responded lightly, then returned the album to Ye Yu.
Ye Yu turned and left, feeling very uneasy, wondering whether Tang Chuyao believed it.
No matter how strong the incense in Rongjin Hall was, it couldn't cover up the foul smell in the house.
Aunt Mei did not serve in Rongjin Hall last night. After what happened to Tang Youze, she was in no mood to take care of the old lady, even though the old lady was her aunt.
After a night, Aunt Mei gradually calmed down.
Now that Tang Chuying's wedding is approaching, the main task is to help Tang Chuying get the dowry from Tang Youze.
Aunt Mei thought back to the small courtyard she had visited yesterday. Although the courtyard was not big, the furniture and ornaments inside were still worth quite a bit of money.
It seems that Tang Youze still has a lot of spare money, otherwise why would he keep a woman in his house?
After Tang Chuying marries Gu Huaifeng, she will slowly deal with Xu Rulan!
When she arrived at Rongjin Hall, a foul odor hit her in the face. The weather was hot and humid, and the whole room was filled with a foul smell.
Aunt Mei covered her mouth and nose. She found that only Aunt Zhao was there. She couldn't help but feel a little angry, "Aunt Zhao, why are you alone? Where are the other servants?"
Aunt Zhao heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Aunt Mei coming. She was just about to clean up the mess that had been pulled over the bed for the old lady.
"Aunt Mei, you came just in time! The eldest lady came early in the morning and dismissed many servants, including the servants in the old lady's courtyard. Now I am the only one serving you."
As she walked along, she was only thinking about how to get money from Tang Youze, and did not notice that Rong Jintang had no servants anymore!
Looking inside the courtyard, one feels defeated...
She didn't want to get involved in the old lady's troubles, so she turned around and left. Aunt Zhao looked at her leaving back and opened her mouth, but then said nothing...
In Wutong Courtyard, Tang Youze was holding Tang Chuheng and teasing the carp in the fish tank in the yard.
Before Aunt Mei entered the courtyard, she heard a burst of children's laughter, and after entering the door, she saw the scene in front of her.
Tang Chuheng pointed at the carp in the fish tank and chuckled. Tang Youze hugged him and looked at him with a doting look on his face.
Xu Rulan was wearing a lake blue dress, which was smooth and you could tell at a glance that it was made of top-quality silk.
There was a hairpin on her head and the pearl earrings on her ears sparkled white in the sunlight.
The most dazzling thing was the necklace around her neck, which was a pearl necklace. Each pearl was round and full, shining with white light, and strung with gold thread.
Xu Rulan brought a cup of tea to the two of them and handed it to Tang Youze's lips. Tang Youze took a sip and then looked at Xu Rulan with gentle eyes.
Aunt Mei kept twisting the handkerchief in her clothes, her eyes full of anger. The clothes and jewelry on Xu Rulan were worth hundreds of taels!
Tang Youze had never been so kind to her! He had never been so gentle to her!
Bi Tao, who was standing by, reminded in a low voice, "Auntie, don't forget the purpose of our visit..."
Aunt Mei suppressed her inner anger and strode towards the three people.
"Master, I came here today to apologize to Aunt Lan!"
Tang Youze frowned and looked at Aunt Mei. He knew Mei Xiao'e's character very well. It was impossible for her to bow her head so quickly.
The moment Xu Rulan saw Aunt Mei, she trembled unconsciously and hid behind Tang Youze.
"Yeah." Tang Youze responded calmly. Sensing Xu Rulan's fear, he hurriedly sent Aunt Mei away. "Why are you coming to my courtyard instead of serving in Rongjin Hall?"
Aunt Mei was so angry that her teeth were itching. ๋ still knew that Wutong Courtyard was ๋'s yard!
Aunt Mei has never lived in this courtyard, but now it has become a good place for this vixen!
When Tang Youze brought Xu Rulan and her son home yesterday, he let them stay in Wutong Courtyard that night!
Tang Youze really regarded her as a servant now! He even drove her to Rongjin Hall!
Bi Tao tugged at Aunt Mei's sleeve. Aunt Mei calmed herself down, suppressed her anger, and said, "First, I am here to apologize to Sister Lan; second, I have something important to discuss with Master Bo!"
Tang Youze looked at Aunt Mei for a while, then turned to Xu Rulan and said, "Lan'er, take Heng'er to the Lotus Garden first!"
Then he ordered the servant beside him, "Take Aunt Lan and the Second Young Master to the Lotus Garden!"
Aunt Mei widened her eyes. Heyuan?
That was the best courtyard in the whole mansion. It was originally Chi Ran's courtyard, but it became vacant after Chi Ran died!
Even so, not a single brick or tile in the lotus garden was moved!
All the things that Chi Ran used during his lifetime were placed there intact!
Tang Youze also gained some good reputation because of this. At that time, everyone in the capital praised him as the affectionate and righteous Mr. Tang!
