Chapter 1186: Snatching Person Three
Butler Xu met his young master and the Bai brothers outside the entrance of Songzi Lane.
Compared with Bai Erlang and Bai Shan, Butler Xu is much more familiar with Bai Dalang, because when County Magistrate Fu was in office, every New Year, Mr. Bai would take Bai Dalang to pay a visit to County Magistrate Fu.
Bai Dalang was not only a famous young talent in Luojiang County, but he also attended Luojiang County School for a short period of time and was admitted to Mianzhou Prefecture School from the county school.
Although he did not follow the path of County Magistrate Fu, but it was said that the relationship was found for him by his teacher, this was also one of County Magistrate Fu's political achievements. Therefore, Butler Xu knew Bai Dalang and was somewhat familiar with him.
Of course, Bai Dalang also knew Butler Xu. After greeting him, Butler Xu looked up at the only unfamiliar young man.
Yin Huo did not get out of the car, but sat in it. Bai Erlang casually mentioned, "This is my classmate, Yin Huo."
Butler Xu bowed deeply, respectfully addressed him as "Mr. Yin", smiled and nodded, exempting him from the formalities.
Fu Wenhua asked anxiously, "Butler Xu, have you rented a house?"
Butler Xu bowed and said, "I've rented it. It's not far from Songzi Lane, just two streets away, in Erliu Lane. It's also a two-story courtyard, but a little bigger than this one. Most importantly, it's fully furnished, and the kitchen has all the pots and pans. The owner often rents it out to passing merchants, so it's quite quiet around here."
Fu Wenhua was satisfied.
As he was talking, Daji came out with a carriage. Manbao lifted the curtain and said, "Second Sister Fu has agreed. You can get on."
Yin Huo immediately called Changshou over and said, "Go home and bring some people. Hmm, bring twenty people, maybe some maids for rough work. If Grandmother asks, just tell her that I need them."
Changshou agreed, drove away with their carriage.
It was not difficult for Yin Huo to mobilize people. In just two or three quarters of an hour, two large mule-drawn carts followed Changshou's carriage, with about ten people sitting in each cart.
Most of them were old women, all of them were big and strong. Yin Huo recognized at a glance that several of them were the dowries that came with his sisters.
He was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why are you looking for my sisters' people? There's no one left at home?"
"Yes, there are. It's just that when I went back to ask for the bride, the three aunts happened to be at home. After careful selection, I found that the bride's dowry was more robust, so I took it with me."
Yin Huo nodded without much concern and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, let them listen to Master Fu and Butler Xu's orders."
Butler Xu glanced at his young master and immediately went to give instructions to the servants. He spoke kindly and his young master was present. Although the servants of the Yin family looked down on Butler Xu's family background, they did not dare to show it and were very obedient.
Butler Xu breathed a sigh of relief. This was better than hiring laborers from outside, because servants were used to following orders, and would not make mistakes regardless of whether they were obedient or not. But if you hired laborers from outside, if one of them disobeyed orders, or used too much force, or if there were too many of them, it would be a big disaster.
Butler Xu wanted to snatch Fu Wenyun away so that the Fu family could gain the upper hand, but he also didn't want the two families to become enemies instead of relatives, so he had to be prudent in his actions.
He explained everything clearly here, and after making sure that everyone understood what he meant, he nodded to Fu Wenhua.
Manbao got into the Fu family's carriage and said to Bai Shan and the others with a smile, "Wait for me here."
Everyone nodded.
Manbao hid in the carriage. Fu Wenhua and Butler Xu sat on the shaft and drove the carriage into the alley. They stopped at the door of Yue's house and knocked on it. The door opened, and Butler Xu pushed the door open with his men.
The servants of the Yue family were shocked to see that Butler Xu had brought so many people in. They quickly asked loudly, "What are you doing?"
Turning around and seeing Fu Wenhua's face as gloomy as water, he quickly begged for mercy, "Uncle, uncle, let's talk slowly, he's not at home..."
He was afraid that Fu Wenhua was coming to beat Yue Dalang again.
Butler Xu kindly but firmly pushed him aside and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter whether the uncle is at home or not, as long as our aunt is here, our young master is here to take her back home."
As they were talking, Fu Wenhua had already led his men straight to the backyard. The servants of the Yue family who ran out after hearing the noise stopped in their tracks and dared not speak when they saw so many burly old women and strong men.
Fu Wenhua didn't react until he entered the backyard. Old Mrs. Yue and Yue Dalang rushed out of the house.
Seeing Fu Wenhua and Butler Xu bringing so many people in, he asked in surprise: "Wenhua, what are you doing?"
Fu Wenhua stopped in front of his sister's door and said with a sullen face, "I'm afraid my sister will be wronged in your house. I want to take my sister home to recuperate after giving birth."
Yue Dalang quickly stepped forward to stop him, "Absolutely not, Third Brother, those are all misunderstandings, listen to my explanation..."
But before he could get any closer, Butler Xu and his men stopped him. He said, "Master, go in quickly and carry the young lady out."
Fu Wenhua said, "If there's any misunderstanding, you should wait until my parents arrive to tell them."
After saying that, he went into the house. Even Old Madam Yue became upset and quickly asked the servants to stop them and not let them go out.
But the Yue family didn't have many servants, and several of them were Fu Wenyun's dowry. Of course, they would not help the Yue family.
So the servants of the Yin family stood in front of the door, blocking a path so that no one could get in.
When Fu Wenhua went in, Fu Wenyun had already put on her clothes, and Nanny Fu was holding the child. Even the wet nurse they hired was standing in the room with her head lowered.
Fu Wenhua ran forward and said, "Second sister, I'm here to take you home."
Fu Wenyun smiled and nodded. Qiuyue quickly helped her lie on Fu Wenhua's back, and then covered her with a cloak to prevent the wind from blowing.
The child was wrapped up neatly, and several servants escorted the brother and sister out.
Yue Dalang saw Fu Wenhua carrying Fu Wenyun out on his back. The cloak covered Fu Wenyun's head and face, so he couldn't see clearly. He could only push the old woman blocking their way while shouting, "Wenyun, Wenyun, please try to persuade Wenhua. What's going on? You know how my mother and I treat you. Our family has always been harmonious. There were some misunderstandings the other day. Didn't I explain it to you already?"
Fu Wenhua was so angry that he stopped and turned to glare at him. He opened his mouth to curse back, but Fu Wenyun on his back whispered in his ear, "Fool, don't listen to him. Just walk away and ignore him."
Fu Wenhua choked, remembering the time when he and his sister were studying with their teacher. When the teacher tested him and he couldn't answer, his second sister would stand behind him, covering her mouth with a book and scolding him, "Fool, you can't even solve this problem..."
As expected, Fu Wenhua ignored Yue Dalang, turned around and walked away. After leaving Yue's house, two maids helped to carry Fu Wenyun into the car.
The neighbors who were leaning against their own walls to watch the excitement saw Fu Wenyun wrapped in a cloak, and then looked at Nanny Fu holding the child behind them. They became excited and whispered, "I knew it, they can even tolerate this. Unless the new bride's family is stupid, they really took her away right away, right?"
See you at 4 p.m.
