Chapter 304: Hiring a Killer
The innkeeper was surprised to hear that they had bought the yard and cleaned it up. The guests wanted to check out and leave, but he couldn't force them to leave. He quickly settled the bill and watched them drive the carriage out of the inn.
After returning home, Du Wanwan went out to buy firewood, charcoal, rice, flour and other things.
In fact, these things were not bought, but taken out from the space. Her family Yaya collected all the things in the kitchen of Pingyang Marquis Mansion, and it was just right to take them out and use them now.
Chen Xiangxiu and Xu Shi could not see anything. Having lived in Pingyang Marquis's Mansion for decades, they would never go to a place like the kitchen. They had no idea what was inside.
Du Wanwan drove the carriage to a remote place, took out all the necessary things and put them on the carriage, then hurried back to her new home and said she had bought them.
At night they heated the kang, cooked porridge, made pancakes, and fried two bowls of vegetables on the small stove next to the kang.
This small stove is quite useful as long as there are no guests at home.
Du Wanwan's family of five ate happily and joyfully.
The old lady in the Ye family’s old house is having a hard time.
I don’t know what happened last night, but the rats in the house were running around like the three armies were doing a military drill.
No one knew where the wild cats on the roof came from. Dozens of them gathered together, and their meowing continued without stopping, disturbing her sleep all night.
It was very strange. There were no mice or cats in other people's houses, but only in hers.
She didn't dare close her eyes to sleep tonight. She sat quietly with a candle. It was very quiet and there was not even a mouse in the room.
As she sat there, her eyelids drooped and she was about to fall asleep, when she heard a squeaking sound from under the bed. She started open her eyes and, not daring to sleep any longer, she got up from bed to drive the sound away.
After a while, the annoying "squeaking" sound of the mice disappeared.
She was extremely tired and had no desire to sleep, so she simply went to the cupboard to get some food to fill her stomach.
When she opened the cupboard door, she found a huge mouse holding her snacks and eating them with gusto. The mouse was not very scared when it saw her, but calmly and confidently ran past her hands.
This is Mouse Six. He is hungry and goes to the cupboard to find something to eat. When he sees the old lady coming, he runs out of the cupboard as if nothing happened, jumps onto the small round table in the room, sits down and continues to eat the sweet and soft snacks.
The old lady had never seen such a courageous mouse. It was not even afraid of people. She picked up her shoes and smashed them hard at Mouse Six on the round table.
The mouse Liuyi dodged and his shoe missed the target and fell to the ground.
It dropped the snack in its hand, put its hands on its hips and laughed: "Hahaha! Old lady! I didn't hit you, I didn't hit you, come again if you have the guts."
Although the old lady couldn't understand what Mouse Six said, her body movements were very clear and she could understand. The old lady was so angry that she was going crazy. The hateful mouse was actually mocking her.
When she was young, she controlled the entire Pingyang Marquis Mansion. Who would dare to disrespect her?
"You damned beast! How dare you laugh at me? I will beat you to death. It's only because I'm old that I'm bullied by dogs. If I were young, I would kill anyone who made me unhappy."
Mouse Six didn't believe it. He tilted his head, imitated a human, crossed his arms, and looked terrified and angry. "What? You old witch are so cruel? You want to kill anyone who makes you unhappy? Isn't that a bit too cruel?"
The old lady was too lazy to pay attention to Mouse Six. She picked up a shoe from the ground and threw it at it while saying harsh words.
"So what if Wan married Pingyang Hou with a grand wedding? He was the man I liked. My father came to ask Wan to break off the engagement, but she refused.
A merchant girl actually wanted to marry him because she was the wife of Marquis Pingyang. Did she really think I couldn't do anything to her?
While she was giving birth, I had someone drug her, and somehow she died of it, but the title of Lady of Marquis Pingyang still fell on me.
If the master had not been partial to her and asked the emperor to make her son the crown prince and brought him to Liangjun City to teach him carefully, how could the title of Marquis of Pingyang have fallen to the eldest son? That belongs to my son."
Mouse Six was stunned when he heard this. He stretched out a mouse claw and pointed at the old lady: "You, you, you really killed someone? And the first wife of Marquis Pingyang? You have such a cruel heart!"
The old lady continued to look for shoes to hit Mouse Six, and continued to mutter in the house: "The eldest brother, that ungrateful wolf, didn't marry the woman I arranged for him, but married a merchant girl who was just like Wan.
If he hadn't been smart enough to take the person away, I would have only seen a corpse when I brought him back. No, not even a corpse, just a pile of dirt, just like the old marquis.
The old marquis is really partial! He married me, but he still coveted the maidservant of the Wan family. While I was pregnant, he promoted the eldest maidservant of the Wan family to be his concubine. I will kill them both. I will kill one for each one I promote. All the people of the Wan family deserve to die."
Mouse Six was so scared that his hair stood on end. This old woman had such a vicious heart. She, she, she, she actually hurt people, and more than one.
She is horrible, she is not human, she is a demon.
While he was stunned, a huge shoe hit him. Mouse Six dodged sideways and ran away on the round table.
She walked around the round table and cursed: "You, you, you vicious old woman, I know what you did, I will tell my master."
"That little bastard Ye Tingxiao deserves to die. He hid it from me after recovering from his illness and quickly married a refugee girl in Liangjun City. I didn't want to get angry because it was to save face for our Pingyang Marquis Mansion.
Besides, he is not my biological grandson after all, so it doesn't matter who he marries. But I didn't expect that the woman who fled famine was more cunning than Shen, and actually instigated her to separate from me.
Humph! Do you think this is the end of it? I'm going to find a way to make her unable to survive in the capital, and cry and beg to come back to the Ye family. If that doesn't work, I'll go to Xiaoyao Pavilion and find someone to kill her. It's just a matter of spending some money.
I don't have any money at the moment, but does that mean our Cheng family doesn't have any money either? You dare to go against me, the old lady? Humph! You will die a miserable death."
"Hiss! Ha!" Mouse Six screamed, "How dare you, old woman? You dare to touch my master? I, I, I, I, I, I will kill you."
After calling out, Mouse Six quickly climbed down from the round table, ran out of the house along the corner, hugged the pillar, and quickly climbed onto the roof.
Seeing Black Cat Three, he breathlessly repeated what the old lady had just said, and then asked, "What should we do? Go and tell the master quickly. I'll stay here and listen to what else the old woman has to say that will shock the world and make the ghosts cry."
Black Cat Three was like a wise man. He glanced at Mouse Six and remained calm the whole time, as steady as an old dog. "Why are you in such a hurry? Stay calm. The owner has already moved to the new house and is probably asleep by now. I'll go with you to get some information. I didn't expect that the old lady of the Ye family is so capable. She actually dared to hire someone to kill someone."
