Chapter 1020: Uncle and Sister-in-law’s Murder of the Original Wife (12)
Zhai Wanting looked at these servants with a cold expression, as if he was looking at dead people. He could not take revenge on the people from the main branch for the time being, but he could deal with these few.
Zhai Changle slept soundly, but when he woke up, he did not forget Yue Shichu. He looked around and asked his uncle, "Uncle, where is my brother, my eldest brother?"
Zhai Wanting paused and said, "Brother has gone back to his own home. We can't see him now. Can I take you to see him tomorrow?"
Zhai Changle pouted and said disappointedly, "Okay, but uncle, don't forget..."
Zhai Wanting touched his nose awkwardly and said firmly: "Uncle will not forget it."
No matter what, it was all thanks to the young master of the Yue family that Changle did not get lost. Zhai Wanting was still very grateful to him in his heart, so naturally he had to come to thank him in person.
Sure enough, the next day, he prepared gifts, took Changle, and went to Yue's house.
"Uncle will take you to see big brother." Zhai Wanting softened his voice and said to Changle.
Changle was confused for a while, then he remembered and clapped his hands in surprise: "Go see brother! Go see Huahua..." Obviously he still remembered going to the lotus pond to visit the lotus yesterday.
Zhai Wanting paused. The Yue family should also have a garden, right?
It was a day off for officials, and Yue Chonglou was also at home. When he heard the servants come to report that the Junior Official of the Dali Temple, Lord Zhai, was visiting with his niece, he was immediately confused: "Lesson Zhai, Junior Official of the Dali Temple? What kind of relationship does he have with our family? Why did he bring his niece with him? Did our family have a relationship with their family in the previous generation?"
Although he had no idea why Zhai Wanting came to visit, and the two families had no previous dealings, they were officials in the same dynasty after all, and they had no grudges against each other, so Yue Chonglou still put on a welcoming attitude to receive Zhai Wanting.
"What did you say? Yesterday, my second brother saved your niece and saved her from getting lost?" Yue Chonglou couldn't believe his ears after hearing Zhai Wanting explain the reason for his visit. His second brother was still guarding the border with his father. When did he return to Beijing? And he saved Master Zhai's niece?
"Master Zhai, are you sure this is my little brother? Not someone else pretending to be him?" Yue Chonglou asked in confusion, "My little brother has not returned to the capital. Did you recognize the wrong person?"
Zhai Wanting was startled, but said confidently: "I didn't make a mistake, nor did I hear it wrongly. It was indeed that young master who said that he was the second young master of your family."
"This is impossible! You must have made a mistake, or someone pretended to be my younger brother and tricked you..." Yue Chonglou's face suddenly changed as he spoke, and he grabbed Zhai Wanting's hand, "You said your niece got lost in the Ten-Li Lotus Pond and was found by my brother?"
The reason why Yue Chonglou's face changed drastically was that he suddenly remembered that when he came back from work yesterday, his sister pulled him aside and talked to him excitedly for a long time about how much fun she had in the Ten-Li Lotus Pond. She also said that she accidentally saw Prime Minister Ye's granddaughter fall into the lotus pond.
From this point of view, it is very likely that my sister disguised herself as a man and used my younger brother's name to interact with others outside.
After thinking this through, Yue Chonglou's eyes suddenly wandered, feeling somewhat guilty. He quickly changed the subject and said, "Ah, I remember now. My little brother just returned to Beijing the day before yesterday. I was busy all day, and he was out and about playing all day. I almost forgot that he was back, hehe..."
Yue Chonglou thought his excuse was believable, but who was Zhai Wanting? He was the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, in charge of the investigation of the prison and cases, with sharp eyes. Yue Chonglou was dreaming if he wanted to deceive him with his poor acting skills.
However, Zhai Wanting did not expose him. He just thought that there was something wrong with the identity of the Second Young Master Yue, which was why Yue Chonglou had such a subtle expression.
"Could you please ask the Second Young Master Yue to come out and see me? I want to thank him in person, and Changle also wants to see him." Zhai Wanting said, lifting Changle, who was sitting obediently in his arms.
Little Changle immediately cooperated very well and showed Yue Chonglou a well-behaved and lovely smile. The little girl was pretty and lovable, and even the emotionally rough Yue Chonglou couldn't help but be a little touched by her.
"Then Lord Zhai will have to wait a little longer. I am lazy and like to sleep, so I may not be awake at this hour." Yue Chonglou made an excuse and said, "I have to go and wake him up myself."
After saying this, he asked the servants to bring food and drinks to Zhai Wanting and his uncle, then ran to Yue Shichu's yard and knocked on the door anxiously: "Sister! Hurry up and get up. Did you go to the Ten-mile Lotus Pond yesterday disguised as a man? And you saved Zhai Wanting's niece? Zhai Wanting is waiting to see you in our living room now!"
Yue Shichu was suddenly awakened by his loud voice. The bed was too comfortable. She frowned and didn't want to get up. She shouted unhappily: "I don't want to see you! I still want to sleep, brother, don't bother me."
"No, hurry up and get up. I haven't told you about pretending to be my younger brother yet..." Yue Chonglou refused to give up and knocked on the door again.
Their family is a military family, and there are not so many rules. Although the brother and sister have grown up, they still have a good relationship. Things like waking them up also happened before the original owner got married. Now that Yue Shichu has returned to the Yue family, Yue Chonglou still treats her as if she had never married.
Yue Shichu was annoyed by his noise and had no choice but to get up from the bed: "I'm scared of you. I'll get up now. Don't rush me."
"Hurry up and wash up. Oh, and come out under the name of a younger brother. Don't wear women's clothes." Yue Chonglou reminded her. Since Zhai Wanting didn't recognize that his sister was a woman dressed as a man yesterday, then just go with the flow.
"Got it." Yue Shichu answered lazily. After getting her answer, Yue Chonglou went out to accompany Zhai Wanting.
Quarter of an hour later, Yue Shichu, dressed as Yue Chongyang, slowly appeared in the living room.
"Brother!" Zhai Changle recognized Yue Shichu at a glance, and immediately stretched out her hands excitedly to hug her. Zhai Wanting almost broke free from her.
When Yue Shichu saw the little cutie, he couldn't help but smile. He reached out and hugged the little girl, and asked her, "Do you still remember me?"
"Remember, brother is handsome." Little Changle said in a baby voice, and her little face was pressed against Yue Shichu affectionately.
Yue Shichu couldn't help but pinch her little face and said, "You have a very sweet mouth, little one. Did you eat honey?"
"Honey? No, Lele likes candy." The little guy said seriously, "Candy is sweet, does brother like it too?"
"Brother likes it. I have candy at home. Do you want to eat it now?" Yue Shichu teased her.
"I do!" Her eyes suddenly lit up and she looked at Yue Shichu expectantly.
"Changle, eating too much sugar will damage your teeth." Zhai Wanting finally couldn't help but remind his niece.
