Song Shang, Zhang Jiangqing, and Li Jiang beside her, caught the change in her tone and looked at her secretly: What is she going to do? Qi Wu, my wife can do whatever she wants, and she will never think too much about it.
Duanmu Hui also sensed a change in Wen Yu, and felt something powerful about it.
As for Master Yi Bai, he looked like a blank sheet of paper, without any trace of worldly matters. But he was not ignorant of everything, he knew quite a lot, but he was not in the habit of speculating on these things.
"Madam, I will come to your aid."
"Please come in!"
Zhang Yuan saw the beautiful Fifth Madam, who was so kind. Thinking of Zhu's arrogant, sarcastic, and ruthless appearance, he felt even more wronged: Why did I follow such a thing? He stepped in, feeling a little helpless, "I will answer while standing!"
Wen Yu smiled and said, "Li Jiang, move a chair and put it there."
Li Jiang quickly moved a stool, and Zhang Yuan bowed and sat down next to it.
"Tell us what you know!"
"Yes. My grandfather has always been with the Marquis and has been to the battlefield many times. The last time was to suppress bandits... At that time..." He recounted the course of the war he knew. Then he said: "The Marquis was injured and couldn't move, and my grandfather was fighting desperately outside. Even the current Marquis' wife took a hatchet and fought back the bandits together, but my grandfather was too seriously injured..."
"My grandfather was the only son, and my great-grandparents died early out of grief. My father had a leg disease. Later, the Marquis supported my father's education and writing, found him a job in the mansion, helped him marry a wife, and gave birth to me and my eldest brother. My eldest brother was also arranged by the Marquis to serve as an official outside. I... can be considered to have succeeded my grandfather."
Wen Yu looked sympathetic, "Your husband's generation has many brothers. Why didn't you follow others, but followed Qi Yue? Well, he is our third brother. Although we don't know him very well, he fought in the northwest and worked hard for the Qi family. We should respect him very much... But... this person, we still have to consider fate. When I saw his appearance, his manners, his eyes... I felt disgusted and nauseous!"
Yes, it is disgusting! ! Zhang Yuan dared not say anything, he looked embarrassed and lowered his head.
"You have a good relationship with Mu Bo, right?"
Zhang Yuan nodded, "Mu Bo is very straightforward, he is a good brother."
"His parents are very talented in tracking down and investigating cases..." Wen Yu thought about it and laughed. The couple had investigated everything about King Wu. They have the ability, but their character is even better.
"So, I have decided to let him go to Niujia Village to investigate what happened back then. Since your grandfather is buried there, your father has difficulty walking, and your eldest brother can't spare the time. You should take care of your grandfather's grave on their behalf."
"It is our family's wish to move our grandfather's grave back. However, our family situation is special, and my eldest brother has been discussing it with my father. I am in the northwest, and I also mentioned it to my father when I came back to the capital this time... But my wife doesn't know. I really have my own difficulties and I have no choice."
"What if I have a way to arrange for you to go with Mu Bo?"
Zhang Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this. He raised his head and his face was shining.
But soon, the light went out again. He lowered his head again and said, "Madam, I appreciate your kindness. But there are some things you may not know. Third Master will not let me go."
"He won't let go? There are so many things he wants to do and doesn't want to do! Why should he always do as he wishes?"
"That's because you don't understand him. If you touch me, you will definitely offend him. He won't care about brotherhood..." Just thinking about it makes me sweat.
"Originally, there was no brotherly love between him and us." Wen Yu admitted frankly.
"But you don't know that if I don't survive, he will kill you! He is so cruel."
"Hehe..." Wen Yu laughed, "General Duanmu. I have heard of your vicious reputation for a long time. When you were only five or six years old, you dared to chop your elders with a knife..."
Duanmu Hui was furious and said coldly: "You are just talking about your family's bad things. Why do you involve me?" He had a man's intuition that this woman had bad intentions.
"That's not what I meant! Today, no, it was yesterday!" Wen Yu looked outside, "You were almost...capsized in the gutter. If something had really happened to you...you wouldn't even know how you died? Was it unfair? If you wanted revenge, you wouldn't even know who to turn to! In your entire life, have you ever suffered such a loss?"
Several people looked at her with grins on their faces.
Only Qi Wu was unhappy: Isn't he fine? Why are you so concerned? Duanmu Hui couldn't believe it. He was playing such a trick on me? "Mrs. Qi Wu, if you want to instigate me, at least use some thought. This method is too low, isn't it?"
"Why would I instigate this? This is clearly targeting you!"
"You!" Duanmu Hui was angry. "What do you want to do?"
"Beat him for me!" Wen Yu raised his eyebrows.
Everyone was stunned. This...
"I have weaknesses, but doesn't the old witch have any? She's doing all this for her children and grandchildren. Then I'll let her know that what she has fought for might be in vain!" Wen Yu's face was full of hatred.
When Zhang Yuan heard this, he raised his head with hope again. He was determined to give it a try!
Everyone was stunned.
"Since he was fifteen, he has..." He didn't dare to look at Wen Yu, "started to harm women. At that time, I was still young, ignorant, and very scared. But people like me have to follow a master for the rest of their lives. We were taught to be loyal since we were young.
I don't want to do what the Third Master wants to do, but I don't know what to do. Once, a girl secretly begged me... She was so pitiful, but I couldn't save her. I know that the Third Master is extremely dissatisfied with me, but I was sent by the Marquis to be with him. So..."
"He would find ways to make me make mistakes, beat me and punish me. There was even one time when we were out, he set a trap and I fell into it, and they left." He smiled bitterly, "I almost froze to death, and was rescued by a hunter. When I got back, I took the initiative to ask the Marquis for help, saying that I was not capable enough to protect the Third Master, and wanted to return to the capital to serve my father.
As a result... maybe the Marquis heard something. He punished me lightly and punished the Third Master severely. After this time, he didn't dare to do it again, but just let me do nothing. I know too much, he won't let me go easily, my end will be severe disability or death. "
"Over the years, he has killed at least dozens of women. Some are girls, some are prostitutes, and some are married women with children. His methods are extremely cruel. I can't say more in front of you... In short, he is a demon. I can't say it. I'm almost suffocating."
Everyone was stunned when they heard these things.
Wen Yu's face turned pale. Thinking of the way he looked at her and how he teased Zhu Zhu, she got goose bumps all over her body. So, he was not just disgusting, but was serious about it?
Qi Wu patted her again to comfort her.
"After arriving in the capital, he behaved himself for a while. He built a small courtyard and asked me to clean it up. After it was done, he didn't let me go in. I don't know what he does in there. I don't want to ask."
"How can there be such a person in the world?" Wen Yu murmured.
Yi Bai said calmly, "There are quite a few people like this." How many has he seen?
"Does the Marquis know what he has done?" Wen Yu asked.
"The Marquis probably doesn't know. I don't know about the Third Master. But the Third Madam knows. She helped with many of the funeral affairs. Over the years, there have been many rumors about the disappearance of these women, but no one has ever suspected the Third Master.
He is handsome and has a good family background. He is good at riding horses, shooting arrows, and killing enemies in battle. There are many women who like him, so I can't understand why he can't get any of them as long as he beckons. Why would he do this? No one would believe it if I told them. "
Wen Yu sneered: "It seems that it is the same lineage as that old witch!"
"Madam, please let me out! I want to go to Niujia Village with Mu Bo. With the two of us together, we can definitely get to the bottom of this matter!"
Wen Yu nodded: "I'll find a way. We have to go to Niujia Village and Xijing. Let's see what this Tan family is all about."
Zhang Yuan burst into tears when he heard this. "Then you have to think of a good way. It's not good to tell others that brothers are fighting for guards, and the Marquis won't agree to it easily."
"As long as the job can be done, I don't care whether it sounds good or not. I'm not like that pretentious old witch!"
Song Shang and Zhang Jiangqing shook their heads. They were different...
Wen Yu looked at Duanmu and smiled again: "General Duanmu, in fact, it is not difficult for us to beat up that troublemaker. However, if we want to beat him up openly in front of everyone, it will be a little difficult. What do you think, for someone like him, both in public and in private, will you not beat him up?"
When several people heard this, they all laughed.
"So brutal... that's really worth a while." Duanmu was also very annoyed. He had never been plotted against like this before. The dart had pierced his clothes. Looking back, he saw that it was poisonous! He was also scared... If he was really injured, he would suffer and become a laughing stock! After all this, it was already past three o'clock.
"There's no point in waiting here. Let's go to the guest room and rest. We'll see what happens tomorrow morning."
The princess's mansion was not small, so everyone went to rest.
Wen Yu slept in a separate room with her clothes on. She had a messy dream and couldn't sleep well. Qi Wu knew that she wanted to comfort her, but it was really inconvenient to do so in someone else's house.
Wen Yu woke up when it was bright in the sky. She got up quickly, as she only brought Laba with her and sent him to see Gu Lanzhou.
There was a sound at the door. It turned out that the princess had sent her maid to bring clothes, jewelry, cosmetics and other things.
After the maid helped her wash and dress, she ate a simple meal and came out to ask. Everyone had gone out.
She thought about it and went to see Master Qing first. The doctor said that the situation had not improved, but it had not deteriorated significantly either.
Wen Yu went to meet the princess and express her gratitude.
The princess knew roughly what was going on and comforted her.
