Chapter 81 This Child Really Looks Like Him
That house is several times larger than this one. In addition to an independent and elegant courtyard, it also has a small pond and garden where you can relax. It is much more comfortable than here.
Not to mention this, Eunuch Chen had actually forgotten about it. It seemed that after Ping An received the house deed, he also mentioned that he wanted to go and take a look.
"Is it far from the Chu Mansion?"
"Not far, just two streets away."
Eunuch Chen nodded.
"Then I'll go and have a look when I have time, but..."
He turned his head to look at the children playing in the yard, and a sinister look flashed in his eyes. Chu Jiuning understood that he didn't want outsiders to contaminate his yard. Eunuch Chen must have a little mysophobia, so he nodded.
"It's up to you. It's yours after I give it to you."
Just saying.
There was a sound of snoring in the yard, and then Liu Canghai ran towards the child, and the child also ran towards him. Liu Canghai picked up the child and spun him around. The child's happy laughter immediately filled the entire yard. Mrs. Chen heard the sound and hurried out. Seeing them playing, a gentle smile appeared on her face.
But in just a moment, several people seemed to realize something and hurriedly put the child down. Liu Canghai glanced at Mrs. Chen, and Mrs. Chen's eyes were gentle.
Eunuch Chen sat in a chair, his face terribly gloomy as he watched the intriguing scene in the sunlight.
"Master, the meal is served."
Butler Chen came in and bowed, and Eunuch Chen nodded and went out with Chu Jiuning. Eunuch Chen said to Liu Canghai.
"Canghai, this is Miss Chu. She knows the most about the affairs of the Song Mansion, so please ask her to come over and ask."
"Miss Chu."
Liu Canghai originally had doubts in his eyes, but after hearing what Eunuch Chen said, he immediately became much more enthusiastic. Chu Jiuning also greeted him warmly, and then the group walked to the side wing.
The child jumped and ran towards Liu Canghai, and Mrs. Chen picked him up.
Very natural.
Mrs. Chen sat on the left, the child sat in the middle, and Liu Canghai subconsciously sat on the right.
But he suddenly realized something. In order to cover up his action, he bent down and wiped the stool, then said to Eunuch Chen with a smile.
"Please sit down."
Eunuch Chen had a gloomy expression on his face. After sitting down, he spoke to Madam Chen.
"Pour some wine for Canghai."
"yes."
Mrs. Chen stood up and slowly poured wine for everyone. When it was Liu Canghai's turn, the two of them subconsciously moved closer to each other. Eunuch Chen pretended not to see their little movements and picked up some food for Chu Jiuning.
“They are just some home-cooked dishes.”
"That's good."
Then she pointed to the crispy pork soup on the table.
"This is a specialty of Jiangzhou."
Eunuch Chen scooped a small bowl for her and placed it in front of her.
"Then try it and see how it tastes."
Chu Jiuning tried it slowly and then nodded.
Liu Canghai and Madam Chen, who were standing by, saw how nice Eunuch Chen was to Chu Jiuning, and a hint of contempt flashed in their eyes. Even if it was to ask about Qingwu, there was no need to please him like this. However, he had been really nice to Qingwu and Lianrou over the years.
Eunuch Chen then brought another bowl and placed it in front of Madam Chen, a hint of gentleness appearing on his sinister face.
"Lianrou, you eat too."
"Oh, okay."
Mrs. Chen took it and ate it slowly, and Eunuch Chen patted the back of her hand.
"I've really wronged you by having you bear the name Madam Chen all these years. If you're willing, we can divorce, and then you and Butler Chen can get married and become a real couple."
Liu Canghai's hand holding the chopsticks suddenly tightened. He looked at Eunuch Chen and smiled faintly.
"What does Fei Na Shen do? She follows you, so others will like her."
This made sense, and Butler Chen nodded after listening. He had no objection to this matter. After all, he had been through this for so many years and he was used to it. Besides, it would be much better for the child to be under Eunuch Chen's name than under his.
Chu Jiuning took out a string of golden wind chimes from her arms and shook them gently, making a tinkling sound. The child fell in love with it at first sight and reached out to grab it.
Chu Jiuning smiled and reached out to touch his head.
"The eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Madam Chen, but the mouth and nose are more like Eunuch Canghai."
Butler Chen, who was standing by and serving, suddenly raised his face, and when his eyes fell on the child and Eunuch Liu's faces, he subconsciously touched his nose and mouth.
Manager Chen's nose is a little round, but the child's nose tip is pointed. Liu Canghai's nose is also pointed, which makes him look very handsome.
Mrs. Chen's face turned pale all of a sudden. She wanted to laugh but couldn't, yet she had to laugh. She covered the child's face with trembling hands and said in a trembling voice.
"If he sat with Butler Chen, you would think he looked like Butler Chen. This kid has a generous face and looks a bit like everyone. Some people say he looks like the master."
Said.
She picked up the child and handed him to the maid.
"Take the young master out to play with the toys, or he'll make so much noise that we won't be able to eat."
Sit down again.
The atmosphere became a little weird. After hearing her words, Butler Chen was filled with doubts, as if many things were about to jump out but he couldn't catch them.
"It's normal for him to look like me. After all, I'm his godfather and I see him a lot. But I'm a eunuch, so I don't have that blessing."
Liu Canghai refuted Chu Jiuning's words openly. Butler Chen listened and realized that it was exactly the same logic, so he felt relieved.
Chu Jiuning stopped talking and didn't say anything else.
Once the seeds of doubt are planted in one's heart, they will surely take root, sprout, and grow. Moreover, Eunuch Chen has already prepared the evidence and will slowly present it to him.
A meal.
It is used in a strange way.
after.
Liu Canghai didn't dare to stay long and immediately said goodbye and left. Eunuch Chen also said that he would send Chu Jiuning back home, and the servants had to go out to buy some things, so only the three of them were left in the mansion.
Butler Chen sat on a chair, holding a mirror in his hand, sometimes looking at himself, sometimes looking at the children playing on the ground.
Seeing him like this, Mrs. Chen was so frightened that her soul was trembling. She pretended not to care and walked in with tea and snacks. After putting the things down, she hugged the child in her arms, her eyes red, and said to Butler Chen.
"I've been dreaming about Qingwu these past couple of days. I wonder if he's suffered too much injustice. Zhiheng, why don't Yu'er and I stay at Dajue Temple for a few days to pray for Qingwu's soul to rest?"
Finished.
Mrs. Chen stared at the expression on Butler Chen's face. Butler Chen turned his head to look outside and nodded.
"That's right, this child's death was indeed unjust."
As Butler Chen was speaking, he reached out to touch the child's head. Madam Chen's face changed and she waved his hand away. Butler Chen frowned and looked at Madam Chen in confusion. Madam Chen hurriedly held his hand, threw herself into his arms, and hugged him tightly.
"Thank you for treating us like this. We've lived well these past few years, but Qingwu has suffered. If he hadn't raised Qingwu as a girl, there wouldn't have been such a hardship."
Butler Chen patted her on the back, then asked the maid to take the child out, picked up Madam Chen, and walked towards the couch.
"do what?"
Mrs. Chen's eyes were filled with panic, and she tried to struggle to get up, but Butler Chen no longer let her do as he did before. He just put her on the couch and leaned over to pounce on her.
The sound of clothes being torn was extremely loud, mixed with the sounds of tables and chairs colliding and the growls of men and women.
dark place.
Liu Canghai appeared with a cold expression, holding the child.
Hearing the voice inside, his frown relaxed. Butler Chen was still willing to touch her, which meant that he had not yet suspected anything.
That's good.
Liu Canghai gently stroked the child's nose. The child did look a bit like himself. It seemed that they could not meet here in the future, at least not in front of Butler Chen.
"Dad is going to buy you something delicious?"
Liu Canghai looked at his son in his arms, his eyes softened, and the child nodded. Then Liu Canghai glanced coldly at the room, turned around and walked out with the child in his arms.
On the roof.
Chu Jiuning and Eunuch Chen slowly revealed their figures. After jumping off the roof, Chu Jiuning asked Eunuch Chen.
"From their appearance and physique, there really isn't anything wrong with them. But last time, when Liu Canghai dropped the cup, his little finger was slightly injured. But I've seen this one, and there's no injury on his hand. So I think they must really be twin brothers."
"That's a really good trick."
Eunuch Chen had a blank expression on his face, but there was a murderous look in his eyes.
"If that person really drank the poisoned water without knowing it, then he should be suffering from the poison."
Chu Jiuning nodded.
"Let's wait and see in two days. For now, we won't do anything."
Then.
Eunuch Chen sent Chu Jiuning back to Chang Mansion, and then went to a teahouse very close to Chen Mansion.
When Ping'an came in, he was drinking tea and listening to a book. Ping'an came forward to serve him and whispered to him what had happened in the Chu Mansion. Eunuch Chen looked at the excitement outside.
"She is a courageous person. It is right to help her. There is a reward."
Ping An immediately knelt in front of him and kowtowed.
"No need, Master. I just want to follow you, have food to eat, clothes to wear, and someone to bury me when I die."
"Someone buried it?"
Eunuch Chen stroked the rim of the cup and smiled sinisterly.
“I might not even be buried if I die.”
Then he shook his head.
"It's different now. I'm her godson now. She has to bury me. Go and ask her to bury you too."
"yes."
Eunuch Ping'an became happy. People like them who work as servants don't know whether they will be alive tomorrow. He doesn't want to be thrown into a mass grave like Xiao Dezi. He needs a place to be buried, a tombstone, and people to burn incense and paper money for him.
He tried to persuade Xiao Dezi, but Xiao Dezi said it was just a matter of making some money and he wasn't really helping.
The result is good.
Is it worth it to earn so much money that you end up in a mass grave?
"Get up, don't keep kneeling."
Ping'an climbed up and looked at Eunuch Chen cautiously.
But he saw that Eunuch Chen's eyes suddenly became gloomy. He also looked down and saw that the Chen Mansion's carriage had already set off with the curtain open. The child was looking at the scene outside happily. Madam Chen and the maid were also sitting inside.
Eunuch Chen stood up and quickly returned home.
Butler Chen had already packed up and stepped forward, bowing and saying that he wanted to take two days off and had to go back. Eunuch Chen replied indifferently with "OK" and let him leave.
certainly.
Ping An also followed secretly.
If I'm not mistaken, their final destination should be Dajue Temple.
When Chu Jiuning heard the letter, she looked out the window and thought coldly.
Dajue Temple.
It's going to get lively.
