Chapter 98 Maid Brother
elder brother?
It was a man?
Yun Jinglan recalled that the little maidservant did look quite heroic. Both times she had seen her, she looked pitiful and sympathetic, so she had never associated her with a man.
With a face that is difficult to distinguish between male and female, what is the conspiracy behind hiding his identity and entering the Wenyang Marquis Mansion?
Surely it's not like a kind soul just fell from the sky and went to infiltrate the Wen family!
"There's something fishy about this 'maid'!"
Chiu Chiu tugged at her dad's trouser leg, trying to stand up, but her chubby little legs weren't up to par, and she fell back down on her bottom. She angrily waved her little hands in the air a couple of times, then patted her dad's leg to vent her frustration.
[There must be something fishy about them dressing up as women!]
[This is the time to bring out Detective Chuchu! My dad's so stupid, I'm the one who has to step in!]
Su Junyao: "!!!" All that emotion just now was fake!
However, solving the case truly depended entirely on Qiuqiu's inner voice. Su Junyao was afraid that if things continued like this, he would be driven mad by Qiuqiu first, so he picked her up and placed her in his wife's arms. "Things haven't been peaceful lately, so you two stay home and take good care of yourselves, and try not to go out. Leave the rest to me!"
If all else fails, leave it to me and Uncle Cat. I don't trust you with it!
The couple completely ignored Qiuqiu; no matter how capable she was, they couldn't let her go out and become a target! They knew that Qiao Muyang and his gang might resort to using Qiuqiu as a scapegoat in desperation. They couldn't afford to take any risks.
And so, Qiuqiu was forced to stay at home and couldn't go out. In order to prevent Qiuqiu from tricking others into taking her away, Yun Jinglan specially asked Liu Yueyao to come and keep her company, and also told her that it would be dangerous for Qiuqiu to run around.
Now, not only people, but even mosquitoes can't get close to Chiu Chiu.
Chirp: [Boring, I want to go out!]
The poor little brat couldn't be cute with his head tilted, so Liu Yueyao simply covered her eyes with her hands to avoid seeing him.
"No, my sister-in-law said it would be dangerous for you to go out."
If we don't go out, the whole family is in danger.
Chiu Chiu carries a heavy responsibility; she must shoulder her mission!
If she didn't go out and move the progress bar... Uncle Cat would definitely beat her to a pulp! This was a perfect opportunity, she had to do it herself.
Liu Yueyao peeked at Qiujiu through her fingers, wondering why her expression had suddenly become so profound.
"What kind of crazy idea are you hatching now? Let me tell you, no matter how cute you try to be, I'm not taking you out!"
Seeing her third aunt's strong and resolute manner, Liu Yueyao couldn't help but tilt her head, blinking her big eyes and squeezing out a double chin with her hands on her chin.
Is it really not allowed?
Liu Yueyao: "It's not impossible actually...Okay, where do you want to go?"
Chuchu: [Strategy Successful!]
Liu Yueyao slapped herself hard across the face, "Why am I so useless!"
Chiu Chiu: [Hey? Auntie, is it hurting?]
Liu Yueyao comforted herself, thinking, "Chiu Chiu just wants to go out and get some fresh air, what's the big deal? Maybe we should bring a few more people?"
Liu Yueyao regretted it the moment Chuchui pointed to the bamboo grove. That place was truly dangerous.
"Chuchu, be good, we're not going."
That place is not for the little cutie Jiujiu, it will pollute her.
Chiu Chiu didn't like it here either; she just wanted to find that brother. She felt that this brother was the source of all these problems.
She thought for a moment, then gestured with her chubby little hand next to her head, before winking at Liu Yueyao.
She's looking for that brother who looks the best when he cries!
Liu Yueyao pursed her lips and remained silent. After a long while, she slowly spoke, "I'll take you in, so please stop rolling your eyes, okay?"
【That's a flirtatious wink!】
Jiujiu exhaled slowly. After all, the goal had been achieved. It was okay to roll your eyes!
【go ahead! 】
I'm looking for that handsome maid who looks so beautiful when she cries!
Liu Yueyao felt she didn't quite understand these words when put together. She thought for a moment, then turned and left, holding Jiujiu.
Third Aunt, you're going the wrong way.
Third Aunt is so stupid that she can get lost in her own home. This family will fall apart without her!
Liu Yueyao went straight to the steward, "I want to find that maid who looks beautiful when she cries."
No one knows the personnel allocation in the mansion better than the butler, so it’s okay to ask the butler.
Chiu Chiu looked over curiously, trying to correct her: "It's my brother!"
Ignoring her thoughts, Liu Yueyao stared at the butler flipping through the roster, finally finding a name on the last page. "The Third Madam must be referring to Chunhua, who serves the Old Madam in her courtyard, right?"
How did Liu Yueyao know if it was Chunhua or Qiuyue? "Do you like to cry too?"
The housekeeper nodded: "She's a crybaby. Didn't she cry on New Year's Eve? This girl only came last year. She said the other maids in the courtyard told her that the old lady gets a lot of reward money for serving her."
"You know how harsh the old lady's courtyard is, and this money isn't easy to earn. When this girl is wronged, she likes to hide in the back corridor and cry. Her voice is soft, and when she cries, it sounds like a cat meowing."
[A cat meowing? That must sound awful!]
The less someone has, the more they want to show off. If this person is really a man, as Qiuqiu said, then to avoid being discovered, he will desperately try to show off his feminine traits in his daily life.
The sound of crying is one of them.
The butler seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly turned a few pages of the roster forward. Suddenly, he pointed at a name and stopped moving, looking a little confused.
Liu Yueyao leaned closer: "Wen Yue?"
"Who is this?"
The butler snapped out of his reverie. “It just reminded me of something that happened before. Isn’t it strange? This servant named Wen Yue came three years ago, and like Chunhua, he was to serve in the old lady’s courtyard. What’s even more coincidental is that they look remarkably alike.”
Liu Yueyao just doesn't like meddling in things; she's not stupid. After all this talk, how could she not guess their relationship?
They must be...
"They're the same person!" the little girl's voice said firmly. "If nothing unexpected happens, then something unexpected is definitely going to happen! Third Aunt, let's go back to the bamboo grove!"
Actually, Liu Yueyao was wondering if it might be the two brothers. After all, the old lady's personality was unpredictable, and she often beat and scolded the servants. Perhaps Wen Yue had been injured by the old lady, so it was possible that his younger brother had come to avenge him.
"Where is Wen Yue now?"
The housekeeper sighed, "This Wen Yue looks quite distinctive, but his mind isn't clear. He's always talking nonsense, and he was kicked out because he offended Madam Zheng."
He didn't know the reason either; he only knew that when the servants told him to rush over, Zheng Xiulan had already slashed the boy's face.
"After paying a huge sum of money, I still had to send him to the clinic. What a pity." The housekeeper shook his head and suddenly slapped his head, "I remember now!"
"When I arrived, Madam Zheng pointed at Wen Yue's face and shouted that she had seen a ghost. Even the old lady was so frightened that she almost fainted."
"Do you think Madam Zheng offended someone similar to Wen Yue in the past?"
