The capital city is not a small city, and it is not easy to investigate an individual.
However, Fan Cheng's concubines and maids were all dismissed, and he dared not go to brothels, so he only lingered in a few places all day. So soon, the secret relationship between him and He Yan was exposed to Tang Ying.
"How can this be possible!" Tang Ying put the tea in her hand heavily on the table. "When I was discussing marriage with him, he had an affair with that woman. He simply didn't take me seriously! I have already told my brother and father that this man is unreliable. Now that my words have come true, I am ashamed."
"Madam, please be patient," the maid said, "The young master still doesn't dare to bring that woman back home. It's obvious that he is still cautious. It's probably because of this woman that he made the young master make a mistake. Madam and the young master are newly married now, so don't let these things cause trouble and cause others to accuse Madam of being jealous."
"Then what do you tell me to do?" Tang Ying asked angrily.
"Why not start with this woman? She is just the daughter of a city gate captain, and she is still at the mercy of the lady..."
"You're right," Tang Ying calmed down after a while, "She's just a lowly woman, and she still dreams of marrying into the Fan family and becoming the first wife. I'll come and meet her in person!"
He Yan was completely unaware of the twists and turns that had taken place in the Fan Mansion. She was thinking about how to go to the conscription office to fill out paperwork so that she could enter the barracks and go to Liangzhou with the others.
He Yunsheng and He Sui would definitely not understand how to find a good excuse for them. If I said I wanted to make achievements, they would think I was crazy. If I said it was revenge... forget it, it still won't work.
He Yan turned over. How about writing a letter and running away from home just like he did last year when it was dark and windy and no one was around? You know, the conscription deadline will be in two days. If he doesn't fill in the paperwork, he will have no chance.
Just as she was thinking, Qingmei came in with cakes and was shocked to see He Yan tossing and turning on the bed. "Young lady, you have been tossing and turning on the bed for the whole afternoon. Did you eat something bad? I will ask someone to come and check it out for you."
"Nothing." He Yan waved his hands, "I'm just bored."
Not to mention, He Yunsheng thought he was noisy when he was at home, and he felt bored when he went to the academy. Even if he practiced martial arts alone in the mansion, he couldn't get interested. He Yan thought people were really strange. She had been a loner in the Xu family for a whole year, lonely all day long, but after just over a month in the He family, she got used to the life with He Yunsheng nagging beside her.
Maybe He Yunsheng is just too talkative.
He Yan turned over and said, "I'll be out for a while."
"Where are you going, young lady? I'll accompany you." Qingmei said hurriedly.
"No problem, I'll go get Yunsheng some clothes." He Yan replied. It was already the 20th day, and He Yunsheng's spring and summer clothes were ready. He Yunsheng got home late from school, so she went to help get them.
Before she left, she glanced at the conscription notice on the table, thought about it, and then put the notice back into her arms. She didn't understand why she did this.
A long, long time later, when He Yan recalled today again, she only felt that fate was mysterious. From the moment she picked up the notice, the giant hand of fate turned the world upside down and swept her into the game again. It was destined in the dark.
It was already afternoon, and the weather was fine. He Yan followed her memory and found the tailor shop. The old tailor smiled when he saw her: "The young lady is finally here. The clothes are ready. Is the young master not here?"
"I'm going to school," He Yan smiled and handed over the remaining silver, "Master, you have great skills."
Both the spring shirt and summer skirt were beautiful blue clothes, with simple and elegant styles, and the material was breathable and thin. They must be very elegant when worn. He Yan thought that He Yunsheng would definitely like them. She folded the two clothes and put them into her bag. As she stepped out of the tailor shop, a strange maid came forward to greet her.
"Is the girl Miss He Yanhe?"
Could it be that I met someone familiar again? He Yan sighed in her heart. At this moment, He Yunsheng was not by her side, and no one could explain to her who this person was.
"Exactly." He Yan tried his best to look more natural.
The maid smiled and said, "My wife is just in front. She happened to meet you and wanted to ask you for a talk."
"Your wife?" He Yan thought for a moment. She was not the real Miss He. If she was an old acquaintance, he would be exposed. So he declined and said, "I am a little inconvenient today. How about another day?"
The maid looked embarrassed. "This... I can't make the decision. Please come with me to see Madam. It won't waste your time. Madam said she has something important to discuss with you."
In his life, He Yan was most afraid of girls getting into trouble because of him. When the maid showed trouble, He Yan felt that he had caused her trouble, and his heart softened. When he heard that there was something important to discuss, he immediately started to wonder, if it was really an important matter, what would he do if it was delayed because of him?
So after a moment of hesitation, she said, "Okay, I'll go meet him. But I have something important to do, so I can't stay long."
"Don't worry."
The maid led the way, and He Yan looked at the maid walking in front. Although this woman called herself a slave and looked like a servant, the material of her clothes was very exquisite, and her jewelry was also extraordinary. At least the maids of ordinary families would definitely not have such a grand appearance. She was either a maid of a wealthy family, or the head maid of a wealthy lady. He Yan felt that this should be both.
He Yan was lost in his thoughts, and by the time he realized what was happening, he had already walked to a deserted alley.
"Is your wife here?" she asked.
"Our lady has a house here, but she rarely stays here on weekdays." The maid smiled and said, "Occasionally, when she gets tired of feasting in a nearby restaurant, she rests here."
Oh, they are indeed a wealthy family, and the places they rest are all their own businesses. He Yan was shocked in his heart, and when He Yunsheng heard this, he would probably be jealous and resentful for a long time.
"It's here." The maid stopped in front of a house.
The house was not very big and looked a bit old. There were few people around and there was not even a gatekeeper at the door. He Yan followed the maid into the house, first passing through the garden and then entering the hall. The maid suddenly changed her gentle and soft tone and said coldly to the other end: "Madam, I have brought the person here."
He Yan raised his head, and was met with a face full of angry eyes and gnashing teeth.
"Are you He Yan?"
This doesn't look like a meeting of old friends over tea and a chat.
"I am, madam is ..."
"I am the eldest daughter of the current Chengwulang Tang family and the wife of Fan Cheng." The lady sneered and answered viciously.
He Yan suddenly realized what was going on, and looking at the powerful maids and servants around him, he sighed inwardly.
This lady seems to have misunderstood something.
What sin did she commit to be reborn as such a girl with a bad luck in love?
