Where are they having their secret rendezvous?
Seeing that her mistress had perked up instantly, Qiuju quickly replied, "The teahouse in Pear Blossom Lane, that place is secluded and inconspicuous."
"How long have the two been in the teahouse?" Jiang Shuyue got up, got out of bed, and put on her shoes.
"Cangyun came back to report as soon as we went in. Cangyun and Gao Mu are still waiting for Miss's instructions in the carriage next to Grandpa."
Cang Yun has been handling the tracking of Jiang Jiaojiao. He said that the Third Young Master Wei and Jiang Jiaojiao would meet for at least an hour and a half each time before leaving.
Jiang Shuyue thought for a moment and said, "There are no outsiders in the clinic right now. Let Cang Yun and Gao Mu come in. I have something to say to them in person."
Qiu Ju felt incredibly pleased; today, Jiang Jiaojiao would finally taste the bitterness of being utterly disgraced.
Having received the order, Qiuju walked with a brisk pace.
A short while later, Gao Mu and Cang Yun left, having received their orders.
Seeing her mistress calmly tidying her hair, Qiuju stepped forward and took the comb from her mistress's hand, saying, "Miss, let's go take a look in a bit. I just want to see how Jiang Jiaojiao still has the face to stay in the capital."
"With Gao Mu and Cang Yun going to help, we shouldn't go and join the fun. If I show up there, it will inevitably arouse suspicion about my identity."
Jiang Shuyue was never one to enjoy getting involved in trouble; she was just adding fuel to the fire today.
If Jiang Jiaojiao were to maintain her integrity, she would have to go to great lengths to find fault with her.
This is a good idea; it kills two birds with one stone. It both does the Du family a favor and makes the Yang mother and daughter suffer the consequences of their actions.
As for how far Jiang Zhengming, the Yang family, and other members of the Jiang clan would go to protect Jiang Jiaojiao, that was beyond her control.
Cangyun left the clinic and went straight to the Minister's residence. When he arrived at the Minister's residence, he saw a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old passing by.
He stepped forward and called out to the boy, "Young brother, could you please pass on a message for me?" As he spoke, he stuffed two silver ingots into the boy's hand.
The boy was dressed in civilian clothes, and he looked like a child from an ordinary family.
The boy opened his hand and saw a silver ingot worth two taels of silver.
He asked with a puzzled look, "Brother, where do you need to deliver this message? If it's to the yamen, I won't go."
The boy was about to return the silver ingot.
His intuition told him that this money wouldn't be easy to earn.
A well-educated boy isn't stupid. There's no such thing as a free lunch. If you ask him to go to the government office to deliver a message, he might get a beating, which isn't worth it.
Seeing the young man hesitate, Cangyun pointed to the gate of the Minister's mansion, "I'll go knock on the door. You tell the gatekeeper that Miss Jiang the Second was beaten up at the teahouse in Pear Blossom Lane. You don't need to say a word else."
"It's that simple?"
"Yes! It's that simple."
As the boy hesitated, Cangyun pulled him toward the gate of the Minister's residence.
Cangyun knocked heavily on the door a few times. When the doorman opened the door and peeked out, Cangyun stepped aside.
The boy had no choice but to grit his teeth and repeat what Cangyun had taught him.
"W-what? Second Miss was beaten? Was it serious?"
The gatekeeper was terrified.
The boy shook his head, looking completely bewildered, and pressed his lips tightly together, refusing to utter a single word more.
Cangyun quickly grabbed the boy's arm, "The message has been delivered, let's go back quickly."
The boy arrived completely bewildered and was pulled away by Cangyun with a blank expression.
Back on the street, the man's figure disappeared around the corner. The boy muttered to himself, "What a strange man, charging two taels of silver for a single word."
On the other hand, Gao Mu followed the same method, hiring a servant-like person to deliver a message to the Jiang family.
Jiang Zhengming invited several elders from the clan to discuss matters.
When the Jiang family members heard that Jiang Zhengming wanted to discuss something important with them and had arranged to meet them at the teahouse, they were surprised to find that Jiang Zhengming had asked them to.
It should be noted that Jiang Zhengming is the most promising person in the clan. He would not usually take the initiative to meet with the elders unless there was something important to do, which shows that this matter is of great importance.
The Jiang family members quickly found the clan leader and several elders and rushed to the teahouse.
Gao Mu, who was standing at a distance, only turned and left after seeing the Jiang family members get into their carriages and leave the mansion.
At this moment, Cangyun had arrived outside the teahouse in Pear Blossom Lane. He saw an inconspicuous carriage parked at the entrance of the lane.
He guessed that the Du family would be arriving soon, so he went into the teahouse on the first floor, found a spot near the back courtyard, and ordered a pot of tea.
Cangyun leisurely sipped his tea, but out of the corner of his eye, he kept an eye on the two people under the big tree in the backyard.
A little while later, Gao Mu returned, and Cang Yun ordered another pot of tea. The two switched places and sat down with their backs to the stairs leading to the second floor.
This place is remote and business is slow; there are hardly any customers on the entire first floor.
A short while later, two elegant and graceful women entered through the door, followed by a young woman and several maids and servants.
The waiter went to greet her, and the girl's bright eyes swept across the hall.
Finally, her gaze met that of a servant woman in the corridor. The servant woman didn't say a word and went straight upstairs.
The visitors were none other than Madam Wei and the Du family mother and daughter.
The waiter respectfully stepped forward to lead the group upstairs. Du Yutong waved to the waiter, "Go and bring up a few pots of the best tea. We can go up by ourselves."
Upstairs, Wei Mingzhou and Jiang Jiaojiao were whispering sweet nothings to each other, their affections running high. They were playfully teasing each other and expressing their deepest feelings.
Especially when Wei Mingzhou praised Jiang Jiaojiao for giving birth to a pair of delicious peaches.
It almost made Mrs. Wu next door feel nauseous from eating her leftovers.
Madam Wu decided that when she returned to the manor, she would go to the old lady's courtyard to apologize and would voluntarily ask for punishment by being confined to her quarters.
Hearing the indescribable sounds coming from next door, Madam Wu gave her maid a wink and prepared to get up.
She couldn't listen anymore; she was afraid her ears would get pregnant.
Just as she was about to open the door to the private room, she heard footsteps.
There were quite a few people listening.
this……
How do I get out?
If later people also overhear the sounds from next door and discover that the wife of a high-ranking official has been eavesdropping, how embarrassing would that be!
They say shamelessness is invincible, and the two people in the private room thought about it and locked the door from the inside.
Ignoring the footsteps outside, they flirted without restraint.
The wife of an official is well-mannered; she walks with light steps and doesn't make a loud noise after going upstairs.
Seeing the maid open the door to the private room, Madam Wei went first, followed by Du Yutong and her daughter.
The maids and servants were all waiting outside the private room.
Just as Madam Wei sat down, before she could even speak, a sweet cry rang out from next door.
"Oh dear! Sanlang, are you a dog? Don't you know how to be gentle with women?"
“Jiao’er, you don’t know, I heard from my aunt that I cried as soon as I was born, probably because I was hungry. Even the wet nurse that my stepmother found wasn’t enough to feed me,” the man said, clicking his tongue.
The voice was all too familiar.
"inverse……"
Before Madam Wei could even utter her rebuke, Madam Du quickly covered her mouth with her hand.
"Madam, please don't get agitated. Some voices sound similar, so perhaps the person next door isn't your son," Madam Du whispered in Madam Wei's ear.
Upon hearing the unrestrained words from next door, Du Yutong's face flushed crimson.
She gave a slight curtsy to Madam Wei and her mother before leaving.
