Chapter 391: What a great Cao family!
Cui Yi sighed deeply, "If Wen Ge was the daughter of the Cao family, she wouldn't have suffered such a tragedy. What kind of good family would mistreat their daughter like this?"
Master Ning thought for a moment, "What happened?"
Cui Yi looked at Master Ning suspiciously: "Old Ning, you are weird."
"Why do you keep caring about a little girl like Wen Ge?"
"I have to warn you again, Wen Ge is my junior sister's person, you are not allowed to have any strange ideas."
Master Ning had a very dark look on his face.
Why doesn't Lao Cui believe him?
"Let me put it this way, I suspect Wen Ge is the little girl who saved us back then."
"Wen Ge's looks, Wen Ge's handwriting, Wen Ge's appearance, they are all similar."
"But the Cao family said that the little girl died a long time ago. So, I'm curious."
Cui Yi was happy.
As expected of his old friend, he can get to the point without his guidance.
Cui Yi pretended to be embarrassed: "These things involve some of Wen Ge's privacy, so it shouldn't be me who talks about them."
"But... you can find out by investigating on your own. Since you want to know, I'll save you some time."
"You know the Xie family, right? They're my junior sister's family."
"That woman Xie Tao is very short-sighted. The maids she gave to my junior sister as a dowry were all temporary servants. Among them was Wen Ge."
"The two maids who came with Wen Ge have been staying in Xie's house for a longer time, so they know a little about Wen Ge."
"Wen Ge was originally sold to a brothel. On her first day there, she was spotted by the eldest son of the Xie family, who redeemed her immediately."
"When the eldest son of the Xie family wanted to possess Wen Ge, Wen Ge cut her face. Furious, the eldest son of the Xie family threw Wen Ge into the backyard to do hard labor."
Master Ning: "Miss Wen Ge was deaf and dumb when she entered the Xie Mansion?"
Cui Yi said: "Yes."
"The eldest son of the Xie family bought her because Wen Ge was deaf and mute."
Master Ning asked, "Who sold Miss Wen Ge to the brothel?"
Cui Yi blew his beard and glared: "If you ask me, who should I ask?"
"Junior Sister only briefly mentioned Wen Ge's tragic past to me. I'm not interested in her scars."
"If you're interested, go investigate it yourself."
"Oh, by the way, the brothel where Master Xie bought Wen Ge is called Fuhongyuan."
Cui Yi finished speaking and stretched himself: "I'm tired. I'm going to sleep for a while. Don't call me until the sky falls."
Master Ning paced back and forth.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong with the Cao family.
This incident was like a thorn in his heart.
Immediately, he summoned his confidant and asked him to go to Fuhongyuan to investigate.
This matter is not difficult to investigate.
The confidant returned soon.
He told Master Ning exactly what the madam had said.
"The madam told her subordinates that there are certain requirements for buying women at Fuhongyuan. Those with disabilities will be eliminated in the first round."
"Miss Wen Ge is an exception."
"Miss Wen Ge was not only deaf and dumb, but also fierce. On the very day she was purchased, she was bought by the eldest son of the Xie family for a high price. The madam easily made over a thousand taels of silver, so she left a lasting impression."
Master Ning sat in the chair, his head buzzing.
"Have you found out who's selling the song?"
The confidant said, "The madam of Fuhongyuan said that Miss Wen Ge was sold here by a few young men. Originally, Fuhongyuan didn't want deaf-mutes, but those young men didn't want any money and even gave the madam a hundred taels of silver."
"What those young men meant was to let Miss Wen Ge receive the dirtiest and worst customers. Fuhongyuan does have a lower brothel, but usually only girls who have committed serious offenses or have disfigured themselves are thrown into the lower brothel. The customers are mostly peddlers and hawkers, so they are not picky."
"The madam agreed."
"The madam took the money and originally wanted to throw Miss Wen Ge into a brothel. But Miss Wen Ge was lucky enough to be spotted that very day and even redeemed. The madam made a profit of over a thousand taels of silver and completely forgot the instructions of the young men."
"I have also learned the identities of those young men."
When the confidant said this, he paused, his expression difficult to describe.
Master Ning gripped the armrest of his chair tightly: "Speak!"
The confidant said: "Those young men are the sons of the Cao family."
"The Cao family had just arrived in Beijing not long ago, and the madam didn't know those people. When I went to ask her, she didn't want to say anything at first. I threatened her a few times, and she confessed."
Master Ning had a vague idea of this.
What he guessed and what he heard with his own ears felt completely different.
The Cao family is lying!
The Cao family threw their biological daughter, who was poisonous, deaf and dumb, into a brothel like garbage, and raised their adopted daughter as a treasure.
Because their family failed to notice these things in time, they caused their true benefactor to suffer.
The Cao family is hateful.
They helped the Cao family without finding out the truth, allowing the Cao family to prosper, which is also hateful.
To some extent, they are accomplices of the Cao family.
Master Ning calmed down for a long time before saying to his confidant, "Go check again."
"Find out why Wen Ge was kicked out of the Cao family, and then find out when Cao Jiaojiao entered the Cao family. The more detailed the better."
The confidant said, "Sir, after I left Fuhong Courtyard, I asked someone to go to the Cao family to inquire about it. The Cao family's servants had been replaced many years ago. If we want to find out, it may take some time."
Master Ning waved his hand: "No matter what method we use, no matter how long it takes, we must investigate thoroughly."
The confidant just followed the order.
Master Ning sat on the chair, thinking of Wen Ge's appearance when she was treating the old man, thinking of Wen Ge's hoarse and unpleasant voice, thinking of the scars on Wen Ge's face, and he couldn't control the anger in his heart.
The other side.
The three members of the Cao family all looked solemn.
Mrs. Cao was very worried: "Will Master Ning believe our story?"
Cao Jian said, "Our explanation is reasonable and logical. Master Ning has no reason not to believe us."
"Besides, the Cao family has been replaced. Some of them died, some were sold far away, and the only ones left are our confidants. They are family children, and their indentures are in our hands. They dare not betray us."
Cao Jiaojiao frowned.
She bit her lip and said, "Dad, Mom, I'm still worried."
"It would be fine if she really died."
"But, I met her the other day when I was shopping with my mother, and she's still alive."
"If she appeared before Master Ning..."
Cao Jiaojiao felt very regretful.
She shouldn't have persuaded her brothers to sell that bitch to a brothel.
She should just kill that bitch and be done with it.
That bitch wasn't tortured to death, and Master Ning even asked about it.
This is not a good sign.
Cao Jiaojiao looked at Cao Jian: "Father, we can't just sit there and wait for death."
"Yes, she must die." Cao Jian's eyes flashed with viciousness and coldness. "Only when she dies can we make our words come true."
"We must not let her appear alive in front of the Ning family!"
