Chapter 345: The old lady learned about this
Yu Qingyao woke up and saw Chuntang standing in front of the bed. She suddenly sat up and asked, "Aunt Chuntang, is my mother feeling unwell?"
"Miss, the lady is fine. She is still sleeping. The uncle asked me to come and call you to the main house for dinner."
Yu Qingyao was stunned for a moment, "My...my father is back?"
"Yes, miss."
Yu Qingyao was overjoyed. She changed her clothes and put on makeup as quickly as possible, and rushed to the main courtyard after dressing herself beautifully.
But when she saw the man sitting in the wheelchair in the yard, Yu Qingyao's happy smile gradually disappeared. She ran over with red eyes, "Daddy, you've suffered so much. Woo woo... Does it still hurt?"
Yu Qingyao instinctively squatted down and gently massaged Cheng Xiao's legs.
Cheng Xiao was very relieved to see this. Her precious daughter felt sorry for him and quickly comforted her: "Yao'er, don't cry, Daddy is fine. Your mother is still sleeping. Let's not wake her up."
Yu Qingyao instantly fell silent and felt much more at ease.
Daddy still dotes on them as always.
Cheng Qingmeng and her mother never received any love from their father.
She has nothing to worry about, she will definitely be the eldest daughter of the Cheng family in the future!
"Yes, Daddy, let's wait for Mommy to wake up. I'll push you in first."
Yu Qingyao said as she pushed Cheng Xiao towards the main hall.
Yu Ziyuan woke up when she heard the noise in the yard. Seeing that it was already bright outside, she quickly asked Chuntang and others to help her get up.
"Is Yao'er awake?"
Chuntang smiled and said, "He's awake. He said he wants to have breakfast with you."
"Then hurry up and pack up. I'll spend more time with her today. She has to go to school again tomorrow."
Yu Ziyuan changed her clothes and washed her face, and was about to go out when Chun Tao stopped her and said, "Madam, let me comb your hair nicely."
"No, just a simple combing will do. Who will look after me when I'm pregnant?"
Chuntang insisted on pulling her to sit in front of the dressing table, "I don't know when the uncle will come back. What if he suddenly comes back and sees Madam..."
"Oh, then quickly style your hair nicely, and forget about all the rouge and powder, as it might affect the fetus."
Chuntang smiled, "Yes, ma'am."
Chuntang was worried that the father and daughter would get impatient, so it only took him half a minute to style Yu Ziyuan's hair and put on the hair accessories.
"Mother," Yu Qingyao walked briskly into the inner room, her tone cheerful, "Hurry up, the food is here."
"Okay, okay." Yu Ziyuan pulled Yu Qingyao out and said, "Why did you want to have breakfast with mother today?"
"Daddy is back, look."
Yu Ziyuan looked up and saw Cheng Xiao sitting at the table in a noble outfit. He smiled and said to her, "Ayuan, come and have dinner. The kitchen made your favorite lotus porridge today. Come and try it."
Cheng Qingmeng had breakfast at the inn and returned to Jiang Mansion.
Jiang Youya was walking in the yard. Seeing that Cheng Qingmeng looked unhappy, he frowned.
As expected, Cheng Xiao sneaked back and ran to the mistress!
Jiang Youya wanted to greet Cheng Qingmeng, but didn't know what to say to her, so he turned around and went to the orchid garden.
"Madam, Meng'er is back. I see she doesn't look well."
Old Madam Jiang did not go to Fengquan Villa with them. With so many things happening at home, she had no mood to go on an outing.
After hearing this, Madam Jiang's good mood, which had been coaxed by Wen Shu, instantly disappeared. "Did Cheng Xiao run off to the concubine's place?"
Jiang Youya nodded, "Otherwise Meng'er wouldn't have come back so early!"
"Go and investigate the Yu family thoroughly. Cheng Xiao, regardless of his own safety, secretly ran off to his mistress the first thing he did upon returning to Beijing. It's not just that he has a deep affection for his mistress. Cheng Xiao is a few years older than our Shushu. Does he have a son with his mistress?"
Jiang Youya frowned, looking unhappy. "I'll investigate carefully, but for now, I only know that the master of the Yu family, Yu Xiaowu, works in the Ministry of War, and that the wife of the Yu family has a daughter, Yu Qingyao, who is about the same age as our Meng'er. Her background seems to be clean."
Madam Jiang said, "Since it is confirmed that the Yu Mansion is the residence of a concubine, then Yu Xiaowu is most likely arranged by Cheng Xiao. Let's investigate this person carefully."
"What about Ming En's faked death?"
Madam Jiang glared at him. "How could I not agree? I should have told you back then, and brought the token to your door sooner, so you wouldn't be poisoned by the person behind the scenes. Now look, you guys don't even bother faking your own death!"
"Master." Zhang Feng called softly outside the yard.
"Wanwan, Afeng is back. I'm going to the study to ask some questions."
"Go ahead."
After Song Mingen left, Jiang Yunwan was no longer sleepy. She sat up from the couch, took the nuts handed to her by Caiwei, and ate them while waiting.
In less than half a minute, Song Mingen came back.
"Wanwan, Cheng Xiao secretly went to the Yu Mansion last night. Zhang Feng said that he was carried into the Yu Mansion in a wheelchair."
Jiang Yunwan frowned, a little disappointed. "Can he still use a wheelchair? Not completely paralyzed?"
Song Mingen looked at her face and felt a little scared.
If he keeps a mistress behind Wanwan's back, Wanwan will definitely make him wish he were dead!
"...Not being able to stand up is no different from being paralyzed."
Jiang Yunwan snorted coldly, "I still went too easy! Have someone keep a close eye on him. Cheng Xiao will sneak back to the Cheng Mansion in a few days."
"Don't worry, I've got someone keeping an eye on it. This time we should be able to find out where the underground passage in Cheng Mansion leads to."
As soon as Cheng Qingmeng came back, she lay down on the couch, her eyes slightly closed and her brows furrowed, indicating that she was in a bad mood.
Seeing this, Qinghe didn't dare to go forward to disturb them. She took people to the small kitchen to make her some delicious snacks.
Not long after, Wen Shu came in and saw that Cheng Qingmeng was sleeping restlessly, so he went forward and pulled the quilt to cover her.
Cheng Qingmeng suddenly opened her eyes.
"Sister...sister, are you awake?"
Cheng Qingmeng sat up and said, "I'm not sleepy, I'm just tired from the carriage ride and I just want to lie down."
"Then don't get up. Just keep lying down. You might fall asleep while you're lying down. I'll call you at lunchtime."
"No, I'm rested." Cheng Qingmeng looked at Wen Shu, "Did you see our father in the Yu Mansion?"
Wen Shu studied Cheng Qingmeng's features and said, "I often see the eldest master of the Yu Mansion, but he doesn't look like you, so he might not be your father."
"Did he ever hit you?"
Wen Shu shook his head. "He never hit me. If he saw me getting beaten, he would just watch indifferently from the side. He only intervened when I was about to collapse."
Cheng Qingmeng gritted her teeth and said, "All the members of the Yu family deserve to die!"
"Have you ever seen Grandmother in the Yu Mansion?"
Wen Shu lowered his eyes, his mood instantly becoming depressed. "I saw her at the back door of the Yu Mansion. Grandma is very kind and amiable. Every time I saw her, I wouldn't be beaten for a long time and could eat hot meals. Every time I was beaten and didn't have enough food, I wished that Grandma would suddenly appear and save me. At that time, I didn't know she was my grandmother. I just thought she was a very good grandma... But later, when I returned to the Jiang Mansion, I realized that she was my real grandmother."
Cheng Qingmeng took a deep breath in anger, because her eldest brother was her grandson.
How could she be so cruel as to watch her elder brother suffer!
Seeing Cheng Qingmeng's chest heaving, Wen Shu quickly comforted her, "Don't be angry, sister. I don't want her to be my grandmother. I don't have such a grandmother. I support you and mother in whatever you do to the Cheng family. It's just... I want to know if he went to the Yu Mansion without returning home to see mother first?"
Cheng Qingmeng was silent for a long time before she said, "He went to the Yu Mansion last night. When my cousin comes back, I'll go back and tell Mother that we must be on our guard. He will definitely ask Mother to raise that woman's son!"
After lunch, Cheng Qingmeng rushed to the city gate to wait.
"What a bastard!"
When Old Madam Cheng woke up from her nap, she learned that Cheng Xiao had arrived in Beijing the previous night. She was so angry that her heart ached: "Does he even know what's important? He's so obsessed with Yu Shi that he doesn't even care about his own health!"
