Chapter 344: Zhang Xiao Returns to Beijing
Cheng Qingmeng went directly to Zhichun Garden to change into ordinary clothes and asked her maid Qinghe to change her makeup.
"Sister." Wen Shu walked in with a worried look on his face. "Don't go there during the day. If you go there at night, it will be very dangerous if you are discovered. Besides, he may not go there. It will be safer to watch him at the city gate."
Damn, he can't do anything now!
"Sister Meng, what does your father look like?" Wen Nuo came in. "Draw it. I'll have my men guard the city gate. Don't go over there, or my brother won't worry about you."
Cheng Qingmeng: "My uncle has arranged for someone to guard the city gate, but he must be disguised when he returns early. There are so many people coming and going at the city gate that we may not be able to catch him. I will definitely recognize him when I go over there. Don't worry, big brother, I will be fine."
"My lady, I'm dressed up, shall we go over there now?"
Cheng Qingmeng put on her veil and said, "Brother, don't worry, I will be fine. You can study hard and practice calligraphy at home so that mother can rest assured. I will be there soon."
Cheng Qingmeng went out from the back door of the Jiang Mansion and got on an ordinary carriage that Jiang Yunzhou had arranged for someone to prepare in advance.
Cheng Qing dreamed that there was a basket of fresh fruits and a basket of peanuts in the carriage, and looked at Zhang Feng in surprise.
Zhang Feng said hurriedly, "My master said you'll need it when you get there."
Wen Shu leaned over the door crack and only withdrew his gaze when he saw that the carriage had disappeared.
"Little brother, my home is over there. Dad and Uncle Song are secretly working for us. Sister Meng will be fine. Now that you have the energy to study, study hard. When you become the top scorer in high school and become a high-ranking official in the future, you can support your mother, brothers, and sisters!"
Wen Shu was awakened by a word, "Xiao Nuo, you are right. I can't help them with anything now. I can only support them by studying hard and making a name for myself. Let's go, let's study together and go to high school together in the future!"
"No! I like money. I want to be the richest man in Dayuan!"
"Then you have to study and become the most knowledgeable richest man!"
The Yu Mansion was heavily guarded, with people guarding the front and back doors.
Zhang Feng drove his carriage to a teahouse at the street corner. Cheng Qingmeng went straight to the top floor and could only see the main gate of the Yu Mansion.
"Miss," Qing He said, "You can only see the main entrance, not the back or side entrances."
Cheng Qingmeng glanced at her makeup and said, "You still need to cover up your appearance."
Cheng Qingmeng took out an eyebrow pencil and drew a few pockmarks on his face. "Go sell the fruit nearby this morning, by the piece. Look at the fruit, it's good quality. Don't sell it all out at once."
Qing He understood instantly, "Okay, Miss, I'll go right away."
Ever since Yu learned that Cheng Xiao was injured, she has been in a state of panic.
Chuntang came in with the medicine, "Madam, it's time to drink the medicine."
"Leave it there. I'll drink it later."
Chuntang noticed that his wife had been in a low mood since Nanny Niu came last time. Today, not only did her complexion look worse, but she also looked a little thinner.
"Madam, you must take good care of yourself. You are less than a month away from giving birth and you can't afford to make any mistakes."
Upon hearing this, Yu Ziyuan picked up the medicine on the bedside table and drank it. "Before he left, Uncle said he would come back to accompany me before the baby was born. Now he is injured and I am afraid he can't make it back in time. There is no news from the old lady. This child..."
"Madam, don't overthink it. The uncle promised you that he would never break his promise. He should be back in the next few days, and he will definitely come directly here when he returns."
Yu Ziyuan had no hope. "I'm afraid that once we reach the city gate, the old lady will take us back to the Cheng Mansion."
"Don't worry, Madam. I have arranged for them to guard the city gate. As soon as the master shows up, they will take him in."
Yu Ziyuan said calmly, "I hope we can bring him back safely. Is there any news about the child?"
Chuntang shook her head slightly. "Our people sneaked into the Wen Mansion several times to check, but there was no sign of the young master. I can confirm that the young master was just passing by that day. He was simply nosy and sneaked in to steal the person away."
Yu Ziyuan thought of Wen Shu's eyes, which looked very much like Jiang Yunshu's. "I'm worried that he's still in the capital. What if he runs into Jiang Yunshu one day?"
Chun Tang: "Even if he is rescued, it is uncertain whether he can survive. If he is lucky enough to survive, he can only be the servant of the young master. I have been with the lady and I am quite knowledgeable. The young master is not a young master from an aristocratic family, so naturally, she would not let the little fool meet Jiang Yunshu."
"Even so, we still can't be careless and must pay close attention."
Cheng Qingmeng and his servant watched for two days but did not see Cheng Xiao.
Qing He saw that it was getting late, "Miss, it's already midnight. Even if Master comes back, he can't enter the city at this time. Let's go back to the inn and come back early tomorrow."
Cheng Qingmeng glanced at the closed door of the Yu Mansion across from him and said, "Okay, let's go back first."
Qinghe got on the carriage. Zhang Feng pressed down the straw hat on his head, waved the whip lightly, and the carriage started to move slowly.
After the carriage passed two mansions, another carriage came towards them, driving slightly faster than Zhang Feng's.
Zhang Feng frowned. The guards outside the carriage were walking lightly and were obviously martial artists.
As the opposite carriage passed by, a cool breeze blew into the carriage.
Cheng Qingmeng's drowsy brain suddenly jolted and she called out to Zhang Feng in a low voice.
Zhang Feng quickly parked the carriage against the wall in the shadow.
Cheng Qingmeng lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked back, only to see the carriage enter the alley between the Yu Mansion and the mansion next door.
Cheng Qingmeng clenched her fists. Her father really valued his mistress more than his life!
Zhang Feng saw the carriage enter the alley and used his lightness skills to chase after it.
Zhang Feng reached the alley entrance and carefully looked out, only to see two people carrying a wheelchair into the side door of the Yu Mansion.
Li Xiao seemed to have noticed something and turned to look at the alley entrance, but saw nothing, no one was there.
"Ah Xiao."
Li Xiao heard the sound and entered the Yu Mansion.
Chuntang rushed over after receiving the news. Looking at the man in the wheelchair in the moonlight, he was still so handsome that he made people fall in love with him.
"Uncle, you're back."
"Is the lady asleep?"
Chuntang nodded repeatedly, "Madam has just fallen asleep and may not be asleep yet. I will go and call her now."
Cheng Xiao raised her hand to stop her, "Don't wake up the lady, I'm going to see her."
Then Li Xiao pushed the wheelchair and took Cheng Xiao to the main courtyard.
When they arrived at the main house door, Cheng Xiao slid her wheelchair into the inner room by herself.
Looking at Yu Ziyuan sleeping in the bed with an uneasy look on her face, Cheng Xiao felt a little distressed.
It was he who was injured that made A Yuan worried.
His eyes softened as he saw the bulging quilt; he was about to become a father again.
It's a pity that he can't stand up...
Half a minute later, Cheng Xiao came out of the inner room and whispered to Chun Tang, "Don't tell anyone when Madam wakes up tomorrow. I want to give her a surprise myself."
"Yes, uncle."
Afterwards, Chuntang took people to send Cheng Xiao to the next room.
"Miss Cheng, that carriage did enter the Yu Mansion, it should be your father."
Cheng Qingmeng's expression was unclear. After a long while, he said, "Can I climb in and eavesdrop?"
Zhang Feng said, "Those people have deep internal strength, so it's easy to spot them once they get close."
"Miss," Qing He said, "Master Bo is back. He shouldn't be waiting for long. He will return to Cheng Mansion through the underground passage. We can arrange for people to watch nearby to find out where the secret passage leads to. Then we can intercept them there and make it impossible for them to escape!"
Cheng Qingmeng nodded: "That's it, let's go back to the inn first and we'll talk about it in detail when we return home tomorrow."
