Chapter 456 Remembering Dr. Du’s Great Kindness
No, it's not.
It was the Crown Prince who asked Ye Tingxiao to tell her to help check which legitimate daughters of the prominent families in the capital were suitable for the position of Crown Princess.
Du Wanwan made the arrangements.
Mice six, black cats three, yellow dogs nine, bats four, and owls five all go out.
Xiao Qi and Aunt Hua came to her three times a day, morning, noon and evening, to report on the various situations of the major families. Not only the situations of the eldest daughters of each family, but also some other things that could not be seen in public.
Black Cat Three and Mouse Six are basically almost spirits. They know what Du Wanwan is interested in, and they go specifically to investigate that thing.
Whenever he went to someone's house, he would instruct his subordinates to find out where the gold, silver and treasures were hidden, how many secret rooms there were, and what unknown secrets the owner of the house had.
The distribution of secret guards, how often they change shifts, etc.
The eldest daughter also sent cats and mice to investigate.
Du Wanwan found many diaries in the space and wrote down the information she had obtained, classifying them according to each household.
Since she lives in the capital, she has to find out the secrets hidden by the major families. Once she knows this, she will expose anyone who dares to mess with her.
Or she would use this as a threat to force those who provoke her to suffer the consequences.
The affairs of the Liu family, the deputy envoy of the Ministry of Public Administration, were not in her record book. Xiaoqi had just heard that Liu Heyun had left her home, so she flew there to inquire.
Black Cat Three has now gathered all the stray cats in the capital under his name. If he wants to find out about someone, he just gives an order and the cat in charge of that family will immediately come out to report to him.
Just when Liu Heyun got the medicine powder and was about to leave, Xiao Qi flew over and reported what happened in Fengguang Lane to Du Wanwan.
She then told Liu Heyun what she should do, and it was up to her to decide.
This is all I can do to help, the rest is up to her.
Liu Heyun hid in the dark with her maid, waiting patiently. Not long after, the courtyard door opened, and her stepmother and her nanny came out.
The man following the stepmother was a tall, handsome man in his thirties. He didn't look like a son of a respectable family, but rather someone who came from prostitution.
Why do I say that? Because the man's voice is so sweet and coquettish that it makes the hair on your head stand on end.
When you say a sentence, the tone of your voice goes around at least seventeen or eighteen times.
"Ma'am! When will you come to visit me again? I'm so bored staying here alone."
Liu Heyun rubbed her arms and felt goose bumps all over.
The stepmother, who used to have a stern face all day and rarely smiled, now had a smile on her face that looked like a morning glory.
Touching the man's face, she coaxed him like a child: "Be good! There are some troubles at home these days. I will come to see you after I deal with it. Don't run around. If you feel bored, go out of town to relax."
"Got it!" The man's handsome face was filled with a gentle smile, "Madam! It's really boring for me to go out of the city alone. It's better for me to stay here and wait for you every day."
"You are really good at talking." The stepmother took out a few banknotes from her sleeve pocket and stuffed them into the man's pocket. "This is a reward for you. Take good care of yourself. Don't seduce those tender girls. You were bought by my lady, and your body can only be enjoyed by my lady."
"knew."
The man took the banknote and, without fear of being seen, kissed his stepmother on the face.
The stepmother's giggles sounded like a young girl in her twenties. She got into the carriage and left contentedly.
With her eyes slightly narrowed, Liu Heyun left with her maid.
Their carriage was rented. When they arrived at the backyard of the mansion, the two got off the carriage, paid the fare, and entered the mansion through the side door.
Instead of returning to his own yard, he went directly to his aunt's yard and told her everything he had discovered unintentionally.
The aunt was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth for a long time. She never dreamed that the mistress was so bold that she dared to keep a lover outside.
This is very rare among noble ladies in the capital. It is common for men to have mistresses outside, but it is uncommon for a mistress of the house to have a man outside.
The mistress of their deputy envoy of the Ministry of Public Administration is truly unique.
"Hahaha! Yun'er! You are saved. Hahaha! There is always a way out. Hahaha! That's great! Yun'er! Just pretend you don't know about this. Auntie will make the arrangements."
Liu Heyun nodded: "Okay! Auntie! You have to hurry up, otherwise Yun'er will have to take medicine."
"Medicine? What medicine?" Auntie asked in surprise, "Where did the medicine come from?"
"I got it from Doctor Du at the People's Hospital."
In front of her aunt, Liu Heyun didn't dare to lie and told her everything she wanted to do but hadn't done, including the fact that Du Wanwan reminded her to go to Fengguang Lane.
Hearing this, the aunt's eyes became wet unconsciously. She hugged her daughter and cried uncontrollably.
"Yun'er! Remember the kindness of Doctor Du. If it weren't for her, you probably wouldn't have a chance to turn things around. With this medicine, you'll be more certain of success. Wait for news from your aunt. Use it whenever your aunt tells you to. Remember?"
“I remember.”
Liu Heyun knew very well that anyone in the whole mansion could harm her except her aunt. She was her biological mother, who had only given birth to her as a daughter and had loved her dearly since she was little.
"Go back to your own yard, don't run around if there's nothing to do, stay quiet. No matter what you hear, don't say anything, just keep a low profile as usual."
"Yes! I remember all the rhymes that Auntie said."
"Go ahead!"
Liu Heyun bowed to her aunt and left with her maid.
I hope my aunt can succeed, get evidence against my stepmother, and save her from the fate of becoming a concubine.
From a very young age, her aunt taught her to be low-key and not to compete with her sisters for favors. Because her aunt was of humble origin, she was not as good as the other aunts and stepmother in the mansion.
He also said that when she grew up, he would find a way to let her marry a stable man and become his legal wife, so that she wouldn't have to be a concubine like his aunt for the rest of her life.
She had always dreamed of that day, but her stepmother's words shattered her long-cherished wish. She was unwilling to become a toy in the hands of others.
We must find a way to escape from this terrible place.
He had no choice but to sneak out of the house and search the streets for someone he could entrust his life to.
I wandered around for a long time but couldn't find a suitable one. It wasn't until I reached the west of the city that I met Nan Ba. I didn't expect that he was the son-in-law of the Duke of Anguo.
Fortunately, she did not insist on marrying him at that time, otherwise if the Duke of Anguo got angry, she and her aunt would be in danger of losing their lives.
Doctor Du is such a good man. Not only did he give her medicine, he also provided her with a very valuable clue.
After this incident is over, she will definitely take her aunt to thank her properly.
No wonder the People's Medical Clinic is so famous. Even she, a girl in the boudoir, knows that Doctor Du is really kind and compassionate.
If I had known I should have gone to her at the beginning, so that so many embarrassing things wouldn’t have happened.
It seems that the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion is not a stingy person, so she probably won't hold her against her will.
