Chapter 116 Inquiry



Yu Tang and Yu Yuan both lowered their heads and said nothing.

How did they know that someone would report this to Pei Yan?

Yu Wen was furious, but they were standing in front of the Pei family's gate. The Pei family's gatekeepers and passers-by cast curious glances at them. They couldn't just stand there any longer, so Yu Wen shook his head and said with a helpless smile, "What are you still standing here for? Come back with me!"

The two of them were as if they had been pardoned. Yu Tang immediately took his father's arm and swayed coquettishly, while Yu Yuan earnestly ordered the sedan chair parked within a shot of the Pei Mansion gate: "Come here quickly, we are going back!"

The sedan chair driver hurriedly brought it over.

Yu Wen looked on helplessly and smiled, then got into the sedan chair one after another with Yu Tang and Yu Yuan.

Yu Yuan was newly married, and he and Xiang Shi were in love. In the past, he would stay at his uncle's house for a while, or even have dinner before going back. But this time, as soon as he sent Yu Wen and Yu Tang home, he couldn't wait to say goodbye to Yu Wen: "Then I'll go back. Uncle, call me if you have anything."

Yu Wen watched with laughter, but as an elder, he was also happy that the younger generation was living well: "Go back quickly! Otherwise your niece-in-law will wait for you."

He couldn't help himself and played a little joke on his nephew.

Yu Yuan blushed, bowed to Yu Wen and ran away in a hurry. When Chen heard that they had returned, she didn't even see Yu Yuan's shadow. She couldn't help laughing and said, "This kid, he doesn't know how to be more restrained."

Many conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are caused by the son liking his wife too much.

Yu Wen smiled and advised: "Sister-in-law is not that kind of person. But you can give Ayuan some advice to nip it in the bud!"

The couple had just exchanged a few words, and before Chen could ask them about their visit to Pei's house, she saw Yu Yuan running back again.

He panted and blushed as he said, "Uncle, aunt, sister, my aunt is here with my little cousin. Mom asked me to invite aunt and sister to accompany the guests. She also said that when my father comes back in the evening, I should ask my uncle to come over to have dinner with us."

Auntie?!

Yu Wen has no sisters in her generation.

It took the Yu Tang family of three a moment to realize that the aunt Yu Yuan was referring to was Xiang's aunt, Mrs. Wei.

In other words, Mrs. Wei brought Wei Xiaochuan to visit her home.

Yu Tang met Wei Xiaochuan during the Chinese New Year when he went to visit the Wei family. Later, when the county school started, Chen asked Mrs. Chen to bring homemade cakes to visit Wei Xiaochuan and asked him to come over for dinner when he was free. Wei Xiaochuan said that he was too busy with his studies at the county school and didn't have time, so Chen gave up.

It's not a festival, so why would Mrs. Wei bring Wei Xiaochuan to visit his uncle's house?

Yu Tang and Chen Shi hurriedly changed their clothes and went to Yu Bo's house.

Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Wang were sitting in the hall talking happily. Wei Xiaochuan was sitting below Mrs. Wei with his head hung. He seemed very impatient and no one knew what he was thinking.

Yu Tang felt friendly when he saw him, and called out "Xiaochuan" softly with a smile.

The people who were talking in the hall looked over when they heard the sound.

Mrs. Wei stood up first and said with a smile, "Oh, why do I feel like I haven't seen Atang for just over a month, and she seems to have grown taller and become more beautiful." After saying that, she came over, took Yutang's hand, and greeted Chen with a smile.

Chen hurriedly exchanged greetings with Madam Wei, and everyone sat down again. At this time, Xiang came up with her maid to serve tea and snacks. Wei Xiaochuan, however, reluctantly sat down below Yu Tang, and looked at the women in the room with a guilty look. He saw that Chen was talking to Xiang, while Madam Wang and his mother were listening with smiles beside them. No one noticed him, so he breathed a sigh of relief, quietly pulled Yu Tang's sleeve, and whispered, "Sister, my third brother is getting married, and I'm here to invite you to the wedding."

The Wei family had originally planned to let the third son become a live-in son-in-law, but the sudden death of Wei Xiaoshan made the two elders of the Wei family suddenly realize that life is unpredictable and it is better for the family to stay together, so they decided to let the third son Wei get married as well.

Yu Tang heard about this during the Chinese New Year. He never expected that the third son of the Wei family would be married so quickly.

Seeing Wei Xiaochuan pouting, she pushed the cakes on the coffee table towards him and said with a smile, "You're going to have a new sister-in-law soon, be happy!"

Wei Xiaochuan took a bite of the snack and muttered, "I have a lot of homework to do at school, but my mother insisted that I come with her to visit."

The implication is that he doesn't want to visit relatives.

Yu Tang smiled and comforted him, "You are so happy. After dinner, I will find a way to send you back to the county school."

Wei Xiaochuan's eyes lit up.

It was not yet noon, and given the relationship between their family and the Yu family, Mrs. Yu would definitely keep them for dinner before letting them go, so his whole day would be wasted. If he could go back after lunch, he could still study with the teacher for half a day in the afternoon.

"Sister, you must keep your word." He repeatedly reminded Yu Tang.

Yu Tang nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely keep my word."

Wei Xiaochuan felt relieved and was in the mood to drink tea and have snacks.

Yu Tang's attention also shifted to Mrs. Wei.

Only then did she find out that the girl engaged to the third son of the Wei family was from the Gao family in Banqiao Town!

Could it be the Gao family in Banqiao Town that she knew?

Yu Tang's eyes widened.

I heard Mrs. Wei say: "Originally I was not very satisfied. There is an uncle in their family who does business in the town. He is honest and keeps his promises when doing business, but he is very picky about the people in the family. I will let him I inquired carefully and found out that their family did not have much contact with that uncle. In addition, the third child fell in love again and he was not the eldest son. We would be separated and single after three or five years. I discussed it with his father. After that, I agreed.”

In other words, the third daughter of the Wei family married the cousin of her sister-in-law Gao in her previous life.

Yu Tang breathed a sigh of relief.

Unfortunately, she did not know the Wei family in her previous life, and did not know much about Gao’s relatives on her mother’s side. She did not know whether the Gao family was married to the Wei family in her previous life.

Think about it this way, Lin'an City is really small. Even if the mountains don't move, the waters will. We will always meet each other.

After lunch, Yu Tang suggested sending Wei Xiaochuan to the county school: "It's a good thing that he can make such progress. Aunt Wei really shouldn't have delayed Xiaochuan's studies!"

Mrs. Wei certainly hopes that her son will make progress. But Wei Xiaochuan didn't come when Yu Yuan got married last time. This time he came to announce the good news to the Yu family. Wei Xiaochuan is in the city. If he doesn't come, wouldn't she be worried that the Yu family would think that they were being rude?

Now that Yu Tang had brought this up, she was happy to go along with it.

"How can I let you send him off?" Mrs. Wei said politely, "He is not a two or three-year-old kid. Just let him go back by himself."

But in Yu Tang's heart, no two or three-year-old kid is as cute as Wei Xiaochuan. How could she let Wei Xiaochuan go to the county school alone?

She insisted on sending Wei Xiaochuan off, but Wei Xiaochuan wanted to talk to Yu Tang alone and also wanted her to send him off.

Mrs. Wei had no choice but to tell Wei Xiaochuan a few words like "be obedient" and let Yu Tang take Wei Xiaochuan to school.

Wei Xiaochuan, however, was like a bird released from a cage, chattering with Yu Tang about what happened in the school.

While listening, Yu Tang and Wei Xiaochuan went to the county school.

Shuang Tao followed them carrying snacks for Wei Xiaochuan.

When they arrived at the gate of the county school, they saw Shen Shanyan talking to several students.

Yu Tang couldn't help but help Wei Xiaochuan straighten his clothes, and asked Shuang Tao to pass the basket to Wei Xiaochuan, and carefully told him: "Of course you have to study hard, but you are still young, and there are still many years before the exam. You have to use your energy evenly, otherwise what will you do when you are about to finish your exam in a few years? And remember to share the snacks in this basket with your classmates, so that others can have a taste too."

Wei Xiaochuan nodded repeatedly.

Yu Tang waved her hand as she escorted Wei Xiaochuan into the gate of the county school. When she turned around, she saw Li Jun standing across the street, leading a horse, looking at her with an unclear expression.

Li Jun is back?

Don’t know when it happened?

Yu Tang didn't want to ask any more questions. He just nodded at him as a greeting, then turned around and left the county school with Shuang Tao.

Shuang Tao also saw Li Jun. She nervously held Yu Tang's arm and whispered, "Miss, shall we hire a sedan chair?"

Yu Tang thought about it and agreed, so he nodded.

Shuangtao breathed a sigh of relief and was about to go to hire a carriage when she ran into Sanmu.

Sanmu saw Yutang and Shuangtao almost jumping for joy, he ran over and said, "Miss, Sister Shuangtao, the second master asked you to go back quickly, saying that someone from the Pei family asked you to go to the Pei family to ask about something."

It should be Gu Chang's business.

Yu Tang nodded, and hurried to Qingzhu Lane with Shuang Tao.

There was a sudden noise behind them.

Yu Tang couldn't help but look back, but saw Gu Chang, surrounded by several followers, heading towards the county school.

It's like time has gone back.

In her previous life, when Gu Xi's eldest son turned one, she, a widowed aunt, should have avoided the party. But when Gu Chang came, Lin couldn't help but want to show off, so she asked someone to invite her to greet Gu's uncle.

Of course, the so-called welcoming was just letting her stand among the female relatives and take a look from a distance.

How similar the scene was then to now.

It was a beautiful spring day with lush flowers and leaves. Gu Chang, wearing a green brocade robe, walked along the curved railings of the Li family, surrounded by several followers. When she arrived, she only saw his cold profile walking towards Lin, who was respectfully welcoming him.

However, this time, it was Shen Shanyan who greeted him.

She stopped and was stunned for a few moments.

Gu Chang stopped and saluted Shen Shanyan, who was surrounded by several students.

Yu Tang turned around and left quickly.

This time, Yu Wen accompanied Yu Tang to meet Pei Yan.

As soon as he sat down, he couldn't wait to ask Pei Yan: "What did Master Gu say? He didn't really come here to inquire about Li Duan's character, did he?"

The engaged son-in-law inquired about his character again, and it was clear how dissatisfied he was with this marriage and how much he fantasized about it.

Pei Yan gave Yu Tang a cold look.

Yu Tang sat there with his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart, not knowing how honest he was.

Pei Yan laughed.

You are really patient!

However, at least he admitted his mistake quietly and with a good attitude.

He felt much better instantly, and then he looked at Yu Wen and said, "You guessed right, Gu Chaoyang came to Lin'an City this time just to inquire about Li Duan's affairs."
