Chapter 526
The letters sent to the capital took nearly ten days to travel back and forth, but no useful information was found.
As they read through the letters, Chen Zongwen and his wife became even more upset.
It's obvious without even thinking that the unclaimed goddaughter is most likely Yun Xi!
The girl they raised with such care, how come she doesn't even have a proper title when she arrives in the capital?
"Goddess? That's not what the Yun family said when they came to take Yun Xi away!"
Chen Zongwen silently placed the letter aside and sighed deeply: "After this girl arrives in Luoyang, her life will probably be more difficult than we imagined."
Madam Chen's face was extremely gloomy: "At first, I thought that since the Yun family gives Xi'er several thousand taels of silver a month, they shouldn't treat her badly, but I didn't expect..."
As she spoke, she opened the last letter.
It was written by Madam Wang.
Compared to the previous lengthy letters, Madam Wang's letter was very brief, but upon reading it, Madam Chen's anger reached its peak.
With a loud bang, Madam Chen slammed the letter heavily onto the table.
The document prominently displayed the news of another adopted daughter of the Yun family, who had accompanied the eldest daughter of the Yun family to the Marquis's mansion as a dowry maid, but had betrayed her former master and become a concubine!
Chen Zongwen took it and looked at it, but didn't react: "What's the big deal? This isn't Xi'er."
Mrs. Chen gritted her teeth.
This is it!
She had just asked the maid named Le'an a couple of days ago and learned that Le'an came from the Marquis's mansion!
She had been wondering how Yunxi and Le'an had gotten together, but now she realized that was the truth!
How dare the Yun family bully her child like this!
Seeing that Madam Chen's eyes were red with anger, Chen Zongwen hurriedly said, "Madam, what exactly happened? Tell me quickly!"
Madam Chen took two deep breaths and revealed Le'an's identity.
Chen Zongwen was also clever. As soon as he heard that the maid was from the Marquis's mansion, he knew roughly what was going on.
"The heir of the Marquis of Xuanping's mansion... seems to be the one who passed the imperial examinations in three categories last year. He's quite an extraordinary young man."
"What good is it if he's incredibly capable? Even if he's the most amazing person in the world, does he deserve to have our Xi'er as his concubine?"
Madam Chen gritted her teeth.
She hates it.
If I had known, I shouldn't have let Yunxi go with the Yun family.
If I had known, I should have gone with Yunxi back then.
Chen Zongwen and she still have some influence in Luoyang City. If they had gone with her, Yunxi wouldn't have been bullied like this!
Madam Chen immediately wrote another letter and went to Luoyang to inquire about the Xuanping Marquis's residence.
Finally, she said, "Don't come back these next two days. I need to have a good talk with Xi'er."
Although reluctant, Chen Zongwen had no choice but to nod.
It's inconvenient for a man like him to be here doing this.
Anyway, they'll have plenty of time to get together as a family in the future, so a day or two won't make a difference.
So that very night, Chen Zongwen moved to the private school.
That evening, Yunxi noticed someone was missing from the dinner table and asked in confusion, "Mother, isn't Father coming home tonight?"
Madam Chen nodded and placed a bowl of black chicken soup in front of her: "Your father just arrived, and he has a lot of things to do at the private school, so he can't leave."
