Chapter 388: Go to the East Courtyard to arrest people

Cheng Hui recognized the figure flashing in the crowd at a glance, and she grabbed Lu Lingyun's sleeve and said.

Lu Lingyun naturally recognized Nanny Qin. She watched the figure quickly hide in the crowd and asked with a frown, "Huihui, are they the ones you mentioned yesterday who got the wrong medicine?"

"right."

Lu Lingyun didn't say anything.

When they returned to the mansion at night, Lu Lingyun said to Cheng Hui, "Go back and tell your brother that I will come to your house tomorrow to see if there is anything missing in your house."

"good."

After Cheng Hui left, Lu Lingjun called Shuanghong and asked her to tell Dongsheng a message.

On the second day, Lu Lingyun arrived at Cheng Qi's general's mansion.

As soon as she entered the door, Cheng Hui came to greet her, "Sister-in-law, you are here."

"Where's your brother?"

"Stop talking about it, he went out again today." Cheng Hui said.

"You didn't tell him I would come over today."

"Stop talking about it. He originally agreed to it, but he received the invitation early this morning and left."

When Lu Lingyun heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his clear eyes, "Do you know who invited him these days?"

Cheng Hui shook her head.

She really didn't know that Cheng Qi would go out every day after receiving the letter without saying a word. When she asked him about it when he came back in the evening, he would just say that it was someone she didn't know.

When Lu Lingyun heard her say this, he smiled and said, "It's okay. If your brother is busy, let him do it. I'll go with you to see if there's anything missing in the house."

"Okay." Cheng Hui nodded.

Lu Lingyun followed Cheng Hui to visit the General's Mansion. The General's Mansion was very large. Cheng Hui had bought some things there a few days ago, so a lot of space was still empty.

Lu Lingjun walked around and when she sat down to rest, Shuanghong walked up to her and whispered something in her ear.

After listening to this, Lu Lingyun raised his eyebrows and turned to Cheng Hui and said, "Huihui, I think our East Courtyard has been idle for a long time. There are many excellent screens and curtains in it. It would be a waste to leave them empty. Come with me to the East Courtyard to pick some to decorate your room."

"Okay." Cheng Hui didn't doubt him and followed Lu Lingyun out.

The two of them quickly took a carriage to the East Courtyard outside the city.

The East Courtyard has been idle since Qin Shaojing got married.

Originally, Qin and the old marquis had planned to give the East Courtyard to Qin Shaojing and Cheng Qi as their wedding house.

After their affair ended, the East Courtyard was left unattended, and over the years, only an old servant from the Marquis's mansion was guarding the gate.

When Lu Lingyun's carriage arrived, the old servant immediately panicked and did not come out to greet him immediately. Instead, he wanted to walk into the courtyard.

When Lu Lingyun saw this, her eyes turned cold, "Madame Wan, what's going on?"

Nanny Wan, who had received the order, strode forward and grabbed the skinny old slave before the door was about to close. "What's wrong with you? You didn't greet the master of the house and walked inside without closing the door!"

The old servant's surname was Lin. After being caught, he looked at Lu Lingyun in a hurry and begged for mercy, "Master, I was shortsighted and didn't recognize the young lady. I just thought she was someone from outside who wanted to stay overnight."

"You don't even recognize the young lady, what's wrong with you!" Nanny Wan slapped him in the face.

Old Lin got slapped in the face, and his face immediately turned red. He fell to his knees and said, "Madam, I was wrong, I was wrong."

"Forget it. I'm sorry you haven't been back to the mansion for so many years. Maybe you're just shortsighted." Lu Lingyun leisurely led Cheng Hui out of the car and walked in front of him. "But how is my East Courtyard?"

Old Lin was extremely nervous. "Okay, okay, okay."

Hearing this, Lu Lingyun walked inside. Old Lin stepped forward and asked, "Master, what are you doing here today?"

"Look at what you're saying. Do I need to tell you something when I come to visit my own east courtyard?"

"That's not what I meant. I meant that the yard hasn't been cleaned today. Why don't you come back tomorrow? Don't dirty your feet after I clean it!"

"How dare you!" Nanny Wan stepped forward again and grabbed him with her big palm, "When will you be able to arrange the master's affairs! You old coffin, are you not taking good care of the East Courtyard or have you stolen something from the other courtyards and are afraid that the master will find out!"

"I don't have any!"

"Then what are you doing here! Get out of the way!" Nanny Wan pulled Old Lin aside.

When Old Man Lin saw this scene, his brows immediately furrowed, and he looked miserable and miserable. He wanted to go up to stop them but didn't dare, so he could only pray to the gods on the spot.

May the Buddha bless him, and he accepted some money from the eldest daughter of the Qin family and asked her to sit in the east courtyard with Mr. Cheng, without reporting to the master of the family.

These two were my former masters, so it's not that I'm overstepping the boundaries!

While he was praying, Lu Lingyun had already brought Cheng Hui to the inner courtyard.

As soon as I entered the inner courtyard, I saw several maids and servants.

Cheng Hui asked, "Sister-in-law, isn't there only one gatekeeper in your East Courtyard? Why are there so many servants?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the maids and servants in front immediately walked towards the inner courtyard, looking frightened.

Aunt Wan shouted, "All of you stop!"

The maids and servants trembled in fear at the roar.

Aunt Wan walked up to them and looked at them. "Where are you from? Why haven't I seen you before?"

All the maids and servants lowered their heads, and no one dared to say a word.

Cheng Hui was more and more surprised. "Sister-in-law, aren't these servants from your mansion?"

As she finished her words, a strong and energetic voice of a healthy woman was heard from inside.

"Who's making that noise outside?"

The moment the voice rang out, Cheng Hui was startled. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw Nanny Qin whom she had met yesterday appear in front of her.

When Nanny Qin came out and saw Lu Lingyun and the others, her eyes suddenly widened. She was about to go into the yard when Cheng Hui immediately shouted.

"Why are you here?"

Cheng Hui strode forward, "Aren't you Qin Shaojing's nanny? What are you doing here!"

After Cheng Hui said this, Nanny Qin's face was as awkward as it could be, especially when she saw Lu Lingjun coming, she forced a smile and said, "Madam, why are you here?"

"You are interesting. This is the villa of my sister-in-law's family. We can come whenever we want. But you, why are you here?" Cheng Hui asked.

At this moment, a voice came from inside the room, "Madame Qin, what happened outside?"

"Miss, don't..." Nanny Qin had just opened her mouth and before she could tell her not to come out, the door was opened.

Qin Shaojing and a man walked out of the house.

When Nanny Qin saw this, she immediately swallowed the rest of her words.

Actually, there's no point in saying it. Now that they're here, where can they hide?

Cheng Hui was not too shocked when she saw Qin Shaojing appearing in front of her, but when she saw the man next to Qin Shaojing, she widened her eyes in disbelief.

"elder brother!"
