Chapter 95 Xu Suyuan's House Collapse Step 1: Jiang Yunzheng Moves the Box of Silver to Xu Suyuan's Study
That night, the Xu family was in turmoil.
No matter how much Xiao Yu tried to obstruct her, she was unable to resist Yu's determination. Only one maid was left to take care of Xu Yinlin in the back room, and the meals were prepared and delivered by the kitchen. Everything was not settled until dawn.
Chen Yingyu only heard about what happened last night when she woke up early in the morning. She bit her lip and asked, "Where's my mother?"
The maid Chunxiu responded, "Madam went to Linlang Pavilion last night and only came back two quarters of an hour ago. She is still resting."
Xiao Yu's mother and daughter lived in the same courtyard. The courtyard was spacious and divided into two parts by several sycamore trees. Chen Yingyu lived in the west courtyard, while Xiao Yu lived in the east courtyard further out.
After Chen Yingyu finished dressing up, she took Chunxiu to the back room. There was only a maid guarding the room, and the exterior and interior looked very dilapidated.
Xu Yinlin's bed was made of several wooden boards and took up half of the inner room.
Chen Yingyu leaned against the door, staring at Xu Yinlin who was lying on the bed with a satisfied look on her face.
Xu Yinlin was ugly, disabled, and cruel enough to kill her own sister. Why did her mother treat Xu Yinlin so well, even better than her own daughter?
Chen Yingyu's movements caught Xu Yinlin's attention.
Xu Yinlin raised her head in a daze. When her eyes met Chen Yingyu's face, she screamed again: "Ah!"
Chen Yingyu frowned and touched her face. "What's wrong?"
"Xu Jingyang, I really know I was wrong. Don't come to me, don't come to me..."
Xu Yinlin roared at the top of her lungs, veins popping out of her neck, and her eyes were filled with fear as she looked at Chen Yingyu.
Chen Yingyu was disgusted by the unpleasant smell inside and left the room. After taking a few steps, she saw Xiao Yu's maid approaching with a tray in her hands.
The maid didn't expect Chen Yingyu to be here too, so she bowed and said, "Miss."
Chen Yingyu: "What is this?"
The tray was covered with a cloth, and the maid replied, "These are some insect repellent and dehumidifying pills prepared by Madam."
By night, the back room was full of cockroaches and rats.
Chen Yingyu nodded, and her doubts grew, but she was even more curious about another thing.
Xu Yinlin called her Xu Jingyang, and the look on her aunt's face when she first entered the Xu residence...
All the things were swirling in her mind.
Chen Yingyu ordered Chunxiu to find an old maid from the Xu Mansion and wait until the old maid left.
Chen Yingyu's gloomy mood caused by Xiao Yu's partiality for the past few days disappeared, and her face was full of smiles.
She had tried to imitate Xu Jingyang's outfits several times before, but Qi Yunshen had never seen it once, which made Chen Yingyu feel discouraged.
But now that he knew that he had similar features to Xu Jingyang, Chen Yingyu felt more confident.
Maybe, when they meet next time, Qi Yunshen will notice her?
On the other side, Yu Shi did not sleep all night and called Manager Zhao over again.
Xu Yinlin confessed herself that she had harmed Xu Jingyang, so it was meaningless for Manager Zhao to investigate the matter further. Yu ordered Manager Zhao to investigate the disappearance of Xu Jingyang in his childhood and the massacre in the bamboo forest that year.
She wanted to know the details.
After taking the antidote last night, Xu Suyuan's chest pain was relieved a lot, and he was in high spirits on his way to work today.
Xu Qingsong felt relieved when he saw that Xu Suyuan looked better.
The colleagues from the Dali Temple were counting the stolen goods found in the Shi Mansion when someone suddenly came to report to Xu Qingsong:
"Sir, we found out that there is a box of silver missing from the Shi Mansion."
When they raided the government office that day, they were all officials from the Dali Temple, so logically there shouldn't be a shortage of them...
Xu Qingsong frowned and asked someone to continue investigating.
Xu Suyuan didn't notice anything unusual. He followed Xu Qingsong's order and began to investigate the Shi Mansion's network of relationships.
On the other side, Jiang Yunzheng took Wuyou to Anrenfang early in the morning, and the two of them changed into young men's clothes.
Along the way, people kept discussing what happened last night when Xu Jiashu was dragged back to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion by Qi Yunshen.
Jiang Yunzheng looked indifferent about this. After eating a bowl of wontons on the street, the two went to Miss Zhao's yard.
Wu You didn't know who lived in this yard, so she followed Jiang Yunzheng patiently.
Jiang Yunzheng asked Wu Lu to carry her inside, and the two of them easily landed in the corner of the yard.
Jiang Yunzheng looked around and found that this new courtyard was even bigger than the previous one.
Maosong and Miss Zhao were talking inside. Maosong advised earnestly: "Miss Zhao, it's better for you to lose the child. After you leave the young master, you can find another good life, right?"
Miss Zhao cried heartbreakingly, "This is my child. I will never allow you to harm him! I was almost burned to death, and he never came to see me once."
Jiang Yunzheng frowned slightly. He had never been here before... Did Xu Suyuan know the location of this place?
Maosong sighed, "Miss Zhao, our master has a family..."
Rumors about the concubine must not be allowed to spread in the Xu family.
Maosong went to the kitchen and brought out the prepared medicine soup. "Miss Zhao, I'm just following orders."
After saying that, he poured the medicine into Miss Zhao's mouth.
Mao Song sighed. "I specifically asked the doctor to choose a mild abortion drug. You won't feel too bad after taking it. We're not going to have this child, so let it go."
From Jiang Yunzheng's perspective, she could just see the scene on the bed inside.
Miss Zhao stared upwards with a deathly pale face, tears streaming down her cheeks.
Maosong didn't notice the two of them, and hurried away after taking the medicine.
As soon as Maosong left, Jiang Yunzheng slowly walked into the house.
Blood began to seep out from Miss Zhao's body. Hearing the noise, Miss Zhao turned her head blankly. When she saw Jiang Yunzheng, she was stunned.
"Who are you? How did you get in?"
Jiang Yunzheng spoke first: "I am a doctor, I can save you."
Miss Zhao's face lit up with joy. "Then can my child still be saved?"
Jiang Yunzheng pursed her lips and put her hand on Miss Zhao's wrist. She shook her head and said, "The child is gone."
Jiang Yunzheng found a pen and paper in the house, wrote the name of a house and asked Wu You to buy medicine.
Miss Zhao's mood fluctuated. After thanking Jiang Yunzheng, she was immersed in sadness again. She didn't even bother to think about who Jiang Yunzheng and the other person were or why they came here.
Jiang Yunzheng raised her eyebrows and introduced herself. "I'm Mr. Xu's colleague. I've heard of Miss Zhao for a long time, and seeing her today, I'm sure she's extraordinary."
When Miss Zhao heard that it was someone she knew Xu Suyuan, she quickly covered herself with the quilt, fearing that the blood would offend the nobleman's eyes.
Jiang Yunzheng watched Miss Zhao's actions without saying a word. She pursed her lips and asked, "Brother Xu already has a family. Do you really want to be with him?"
Miss Zhao replied hesitantly, "I like him, and he doesn't love his wife at all. Why can't I be with him?"
Jiang Yunzheng frowned: "But he already has a family, and you are in your prime..."
Miss Zhao's eyes were filled with sorrow. "So what? They are just a pair of unhappy lovers. I am the one who loves Xu Lang the most!"
Jiang Yunzheng was speechless. She paused for a moment and then asked, "He forced you to drink the abortion pill. Don't you hate him?"
"Hate?" Miss Zhao shook her head slowly. "If it weren't for him, I wouldn't even have the money to bury my father. He's like a second parent to me."
Jiang Yunzheng was completely speechless.
Jiang Yunzheng explained the purpose of her trip. "She pointed to a chest in the courtyard. 'Brother Xu asked me to bring this from the Dali Temple. He's coming to get it in two days. The contents are very important and cannot be opened casually.'"
When Miss Zhao heard that it was related to Xu Suyuan, she didn't dare to be careless and wanted to get up.
Jiang Yunzheng quickly stopped her: "Just tell me where to put it, and I'll move it."
Miss Zhao pointed to the location of the study.
Jiang Yunzheng entered the study and checked the things inside as usual. This time there was nothing unusual.
Those paintings...she must have burned them all last time.
Jiang Yunzheng put the things in the corner of the study and waited until Wu You came back after buying the medicine. Jiang Yunzheng boiled some medicine for her to drink before leaving.
