Chapter 127: Left behind others?
"Meide."
Jiang Yunshu quickly reached out and held Feng Yingying's arm.
Mei Dai quickly went around and snatched the list before Jiang Yunzhou could take it away, "Madam, I got it."
Feng Yingying was so angry that she pinched Jiang Yunzhou.
Jiang Yunzhou was helpless. He had just met Ming En in the front yard, and he didn't say Shu Shu was here.
Jiang Yunshu took the list and started looking through it. His eyes fell on words like "three months pregnant", "three months pregnant and five days left", "seven days left", etc. He felt complicated for a moment.
She looked up at Feng Yingying and realized that everyone was busy with this matter without telling her.
These more than one hundred people are all pregnant women, and most of them are over three months pregnant. Judging from their addresses, they almost cover the entire capital city.
"Shushu, don't get excited, we are just... just..."
Feng Yingying didn't know how to make up a lie at this moment.
"Brother, sister-in-law, sister, you have worked so hard to do this for me. Thank you for your hard work."
Jiang Yunshu said this in a calm tone and walked into the main hall with the booklet.
Feng Yingying glanced at Jiang Yunwan and whispered, "Looking at Shushu's attitude, it seems that she believes Sister Yu'er's dream."
"I hope so."
Jiang Yunwan sent all the servants away and into the main hall.
Jiang Yunshu sat at the table and carefully looked through the list page by page.
Jiang Yunzhou and others did not disturb her and waited quietly for her to finish reading.
Half a minute later, Jiang Yunshu raised his eyes and glanced at Cheng Qingmeng.
No wonder she inexplicably said today that she didn't want to look like Axiao.
"Meng'er, you actually believed it?"
"Mother, I..."
Cheng Qingmeng knew that her mother didn't want to believe it.
It seems that my mother will only believe it if she sees it with her own eyes.
Jiang Yunshu was very disappointed. "Sister Yu's dream shouldn't be taken seriously. You actually believed it. You should know that your father dotes on you the most."
"Mother, I... naturally don't want to believe it. I looked at the list just to prove that my cousin's dream was false."
"Yes, Shushu." Feng Yingying said hurriedly, "We also want to be at peace. That Marquis's wife must be the Marquis's wife in the opera."
"That's right." Jiang Yunshu smiled slightly. "I've always thought so. I don't know any of these 150 people. Thank you for your hard work. No need to screen them again."
Jiang Yunwan said, "We've already screened and eliminated one hundred and twenty people, and there are still thirty people we can't confirm. However, I believe they are all decent women. For peace of mind and to eliminate our suspicion of the Cheng family, we need to investigate these thirty people in depth. You've finally gotten pregnant, and your parents are looking forward to having a grandson in seven months. We can't be careless."
Jiang Yunshu touched her belly. She had tried countless folk remedies over the years to get pregnant.
This was something she had worked so hard to get, how could she accept having a fake son?
"Then I'll trouble you, big brother, to arrange for someone to investigate these thirty people as quickly as possible. I believe the final result will prove that Sister Yu'er's dream is false."
"Yes! It must be fake." Jiang Yunzhou hurriedly took the list and said, "I'll make arrangements now. The results will be out within one day."
Jiang Yunzhou turned around and left in a hurry, and Cheng Qingmeng chased after him.
"Uncle, I want portraits of these thirty people. I can tell at a glance who comes in and out of the Chengguo Mansion. Oh, and their personal maids and trusted nannies. The concubine may not come, but the people around her definitely come to the Chengguo Mansion."
Jiang Yunzhou didn't expect Cheng Qingmeng to be so thoughtful. "Okay, uncle will arrange it right away."
"By the way, the portrait should be more realistic."
Jiang Yunzhou:!!!
The painting skills of his subordinates are just average.
It looks like he has to take action himself.
"Uncle, the painting is still too slow. Take me with you when you go tonight. I'll take a look and then move to another one."
Cheng Qingmeng looked at Jiang Yunzhou with anticipation.
If she knew how to climb over walls and wasn't good at fighting, she would have gone and found out on her own.
"You are a lady from a wealthy family, a fourth-rank noblewoman. How could you climb over the wall in the middle of the night? Just wait patiently, and I guarantee that the painting will come to life."
Jiang Yunzhou went to look for Song Mingen.
He searched the entire capital in three days. The people under Wen Can were extraordinary.
"Ming En, we need to paint portraits of these thirty people, as well as their trusted maids and nannies. Does Wen Can have any skilled painters? As long as the portraits are recognizable, it will be fine. If not, I will do it myself, but the progress will be slower."
Song Mingen took the list and said, "Leave these to me. Detailed information and portraits will appear in Furong Garden before dinner tomorrow."
Jiang Yunzhou was shocked. What kind of people are under Wen Can? There are even masters of painting.
That night, thirty households in the capital were closely monitored by people from the Suzaku Pavilion.
"Ming En, have all the arrangements been made?"
Song Mingen said, "Don't worry, we will catch the mistress tomorrow. But until now, our people stationed at the Cheng Mansion, as well as Big Brother's men, have not found any contact between the Cheng family and any suspicious individuals. And the one thousand taels should still be at the Cheng Mansion."
"That's impossible! Did you overlook something? Old Lady Cheng wouldn't mind the 1,000 taels. She must have given the money to her mistress."
Song Mingen thought for a moment, "We even caught the manure carts that passed by the Cheng Mansion early in the morning. It's impossible for us to fail to discover if they smuggled the silver out."
"Have you sneaked into the mansion to take a look? Did you spot any suspicious women?"
"We are not familiar with the women in the Cheng Mansion. Li Da's men have been in there and found no suspicious people. Now his men are mainly watching Meng Guangde, and he has not shown any unusual behavior."
Jiang Yunwan's face was filled with worry. "The Cheng family is really cunning. Not only did they hide their mistress well, they were also good at disguising themselves. No wonder Shushu didn't want to believe it."
"No matter how cunning the Cheng family is, they can't imagine that we are investigating the mistress. Go to bed. It's very late."
The next day, Cheng Qingmeng came to Furong Garden early to wait for news.
Jiang Yunshu didn't sleep well last night, worried that Song Yu's dream would come true.
She didn't know how to deal with all this.
He also comforted himself that since Axiao's name had been changed to Marquis of Pingxi, the things in his dream would not happen.
That lady of the marquis must be the lady of the marquis in the opera.
Meidai saw that Jiang Yunshu was anxious and guessed what had happened.
She glanced at the booklet yesterday and of course she recognized it when she was three months pregnant.
My uncle has a mistress!
"Madam, please don't let your thoughts run wild. This will affect the young master. Let me help you get some sun. The young master will grow faster."
Yes, I can’t hurt my little son, I must take good care of him.
Don't be like the eldest son.
"Okay, help me over there."
The three sisters Cheng Qingmeng were all thinking about the roster and practicing calligraphy absent-mindedly.
At the beginning of the afternoon, Wen Can arrived at Jiang Mansion with everyone's expectations.
"Miss!" Bai Lan walked in quickly from outside the courtyard. "Master Wen is here, and the roster is here. He's in the front yard now."
Cheng Qingmeng couldn't wait and ran straight to the front yard.
"Cousin, wait for us."
"Xiao Nuo just likes that kid and wants to help him. Sister Yu only has Ah Si by her side, and now that she's in the capital, she really needs a few more guards. Why don't we just steal that kid away and send him to Jiangnan, train him for a few years, and then send him back to Sister Yu?"
Song Mingen said, "Okay, we'll steal the child out tonight and send him directly to Jiangnan. We'll train him to be a secret guard and then send him to Sister Yu."
"Brother, I'll go back and prepare. I'll take Arnold to steal the child tonight."
As soon as Wen Can came out, he ran into the Song Yu sisters.
"Uncle Wen."
"Come in quickly, your father is watching."
Cheng Qingmeng had already entered the room and picked up the portrait and looked through it carefully.
After reading the last portrait, Cheng Qingmeng was in disbelief. How could it be useless?!
"Uncle, did you leave anyone behind?"
Seeing her reaction, Song Mingen picked up the list and compared it with the portrait.
"No one else was left out. These are portraits of thirty pregnant women and their trusted aides. Not a single one was left out. Are you saying that I have no impression of them and that they didn't go to the Chengfu?"
Cheng Qingmeng nodded.
Jiang Shiyun was delighted. "So the Marquis' wife is the same one in the opera. My uncle-in-law is not a liar, but the one who dotes on me."
