Chapter 190 Sister and Brother Meet
Every time Molan spoke, she stared at Aunt Huang, unwilling to miss a subtle expression on her face. The more Molan spoke, the paler Aunt Huang's face became. When Molan finished speaking, Aunt Huang's hands were shaking uncontrollably. She suddenly turned around and pushed Molan out, "Madam, you'd better go out first. I'm going to light a fire right now. There will be ashes. Don't stain Madam's clothes."
Molan obediently followed Aunt Huang's force to push her out. When Aunt Huang saw her go out, she hurriedly closed the kitchen door. Molan did not leave. Through the crack of the half-closed door, she saw Aunt Huang return to the kitchen in a daze, sitting by the stove in a daze, secretly regretting and saying something like "How can it be such a coincidence? I shouldn't have said so much."
Molan confirmed her answer and went back to her room. Liang Han also woke up by chance. When Liang Han finished washing up, Huang Laozhang and Huang Da Niang had already prepared breakfast. The four of them sat down to eat together.
Huang Da Niang spoke first, "Madam and my husband, you must be in a hurry to go back to Jinling, right?" Her tone was a little stiff.
Liang Han was surprised for a moment, but Molan took over the conversation, "Since the weather is clear, there is no need to skip breakfast. We have to go back. We were delayed for a long time because we got lost."
Hearing Molan's words, Huang Da Niang was obviously relieved, and then she warmly treated the two to dinner.
After dinner, Molan and Liang Han simply packed up and were about to go out. Before leaving, Molan thought for a while, took out a silver ingot from her purse, and put it on the pillow. This time she said goodbye to Huang Laozhang and Huang Da Niang.
Afterwards, the two of them rode non-stop all the way, following the road pointed out by Mr. Huang, and returned to Jinling. That day, they rested in Jinling for one night, and the next day, they hired a carriage to rush to Youyang.
Youyang City is not big, but the people are simple and honest, and the hospitality is also warm. As soon as Molan and Liang Han arrived in Youyang, they were attracted by the bustle of Youyang Street. After walking all the way, they wanted to find an inn to stay, but Molan looked at the emblems on the shops and was in trouble. These were all the properties of the Sheng family! In the end, Molan had to wander outside the door first, and let Liang Han go to register alone. After he booked a room, she would quietly go up.
As usual, the two of them disguised themselves before going out to inquire about the news. Because Lin Qinshuang died in disgrace and did something that was not good for the Sheng family, Molan guessed that the Sheng family would not let her enter the ancestral tomb. Molan wanted to know where Lin Qinshuang was buried, but Liang Han didn't know about it. Molan also wanted to hide it from him, so her actions were restricted everywhere.
Seeing Liang Han in front of her still buying things and asking the merchants about the news of the Sheng family, Molan thought about how to get rid of her so that she could check it herself.
While she was hesitating, a voice of "Fourth Sister" rang out, shocking Molan where she was!
"Fourth Sister?" Chang Zhang rubbed his eyes, called out uncertainly again, and was about to run forward to confirm.
Sheng Pinlan grabbed Chang Zhang and said, "How could your fourth sister be here? You must have made a mistake."
Chang Zhang stared at the person in front of him and tried to pull away the sleeve that Pinlan had grabbed. "Sister Pinlan, please let go. I know all my sisters very well. I won't make a mistake. That's my fourth sister. On the way from Bianjing, I felt that my fourth sister was always by my side. This time I must take a good look to see if it's my fourth sister!"
Pinlan didn't hold him back, and Chang Zhang rushed over like a little cheetah.
Molan was stunned. How could she run into Chang Zhang again just after arriving in Youyang? Molan wanted to run, but her feet seemed to have taken root. Liang Han reacted faster and rushed over to grab Molan's hand and tried to drag her away.
But when he turned around, Chang Zhang saw his face. Although his face was disguised, his figure and behavior were not easy to change. When Liang Han moved, he heard Chang Zhang shouting, "Brother Liang Han!"
Liang Han was also stunned. While the two were stunned, Chang Zhang ran up to them. Chang Zhang grabbed their sleeves and said, "Fourth sister, Brother Liang Han!"
The two were dragged by Chang Zhang to the Sheng family's ancestral home. Along the way, Chang Zhang's face was as cold as frost and he didn't say a word. Molan and Liang Han had never seen Chang Zhang like this before, and they were frightened by him and dared not speak. Only Pinlan looked at this and that, and was shocked.
Pinlan was not one to hold back her words. She really couldn't help herself and ran to Molan, "Molan, your name is Molan, right? Are you two going from Bianjing to Youyang together?"
Molan turned to look at Pinlan, who was full of curiosity and admiration. She really didn't understand what this cousin was thinking, so she could only nod perfunctorily.
This nod seemed to have touched Pinlan's excitement. She chattered around Molan, praising her courage and how great she was, and even invited her to play games together, all of which were not suitable for girls. Molan felt that with Pinlan's personality, she would definitely be able to play with Rulan. They were both carefree. In her current situation, she was afraid that she could not go anywhere except the ancestral hall.
When they arrived at Sheng's house, Chang Zhang asked Pinlan to take Liang Han to the guest room to rest, and he took Molan to the old lady's courtyard.
When the people in the old lady's courtyard saw Chang Zhang coming back, they all smiled and talked to him. When they saw his gloomy face and unhappy look, they were stunned again. The young master had never been so angry before. When they saw the girl behind Chang Zhang, they were surprised at first, and then they were shocked. This... Isn't this the fourth girl?
Molan thought she was good at disguising herself, but that was for unfamiliar people or strangers. In fact, familiar people would recognize her nine out of ten times.
Chang Zhang said to the people in the courtyard, "Keep an eye on the fourth girl!"
Then he ran to the courtyard of the eldest old lady. When Chang Zhang arrived, the two old ladies were chatting. When they heard Chang Zhang coming, the old lady said, "This monkey came back so early today? I'm afraid he didn't have enough fun!"
After that, a burst of laughter rang out in the house. Before Chang Zhang entered the door, his expression changed and he smiled and saluted the two old ladies. But he was raised by the old ladies since he was a child. How could the old ladies not see whether he was happy or not? As soon as the old lady saw Chang Zhang's face, she knew something had happened.
Chang Zhang was still hesitating about how to start talking, but the old lady spoke first, "Okay, just say it if you have something to say!"
Chang Zhang looked up at the eldest old lady, who laughed and scolded, "Why? Do you want to avoid talking to your great-grandmother?"
Chang Zhang did not answer, but knelt on the ground with a thump, which frightened the two old ladies. They hurriedly cleared out the idle people in the room, leaving only Fang Mama and the old mother next to the eldest old lady.
The old lady felt sorry for her grandson, and Fang Mama hurried forward to pull Chang Zhang up, but Chang Zhang suddenly bowed down and avoided Fang Mama's hand to pull him up.
