Chapter 387 Sending a Message to Song Yu
At dawn, the expected person behind the scenes still did not appear at the Jiang family's ancestral tomb.
"Master, he probably won't come."
Song Mingen remembered what Song Yu said about him being bewitched and having no cure, and the people behind the scenes were convinced that he was gone.
Could it be that Chen Chunhua confessed to the other party according to Sister Yu’s words?
Did the person behind the scenes really believe Chen Chunhua's words?
Song Mingzhu pondered carefully for a while, and the person behind the scenes was roughly certain that he was gone.
The people behind the scenes are now unsure whether the child in Wanwan's belly looks like a member of the Gu family.
He will definitely take action against the mother and daughter.
But it was definitely not just a few days since he was buried.
"Ah Hai, we can withdraw now. Let A Chuan and the others keep watch for a few days."
"yes."
Li Da and Chang Ji, members of the Jiang family, saw that most of the Wen family had evacuated. They were worried that this was their Jiang family's ancestral tomb and they couldn't stand it being dug up, so they continued to keep an eye on it.
Song Yu woke up, washed and changed into new clothes in a hurry, and went to Jiang Yunwan's room.
"Sister Yu, please sit down and have breakfast."
Jiang Yunwan was preoccupied with something and woke up before dawn. The anxiety from yesterday was gone from her face, and she looked much more relaxed.
Song Yu looked at her expression and asked, "Did Dad catch the person behind this?"
"No, your father sent a message back early this morning saying that the person behind the scenes probably believed your father had died from poisoning and would not dig up the grave to check."
Song Yu's excitement was instantly extinguished, and he felt a little disappointed. "She actually made a wrong prediction. Chen Chunhua told the person behind the scenes what I said. But the person behind the scenes attacked Dad simply because his ears looked like those of a Gu family member. There's no way they would be concerned about the little brother in Mom's belly."
"Don't worry. I took a pregnancy-preserving pill before you came in. It's not easy to sneak into Hibiscus Garden. Caiwei and the others will go there every day to buy ingredients. They won't have a fixed stall, so the people behind the scenes won't be able to see the pattern. Your Uncle Bai will have to check the ingredients carefully. Also, your father just passed away, so the other party won't make any rash moves in the short term. Don't worry about anything. After dinner, go to Chaofeng Palace Academy with peace of mind."
Seeing that her mother was very confident, Song Yu said nothing more, "Okay, mother, I will go back to the Du Mansion to stay for one night."
"Stay four nights, and from now on life will return to normal."
Not long after Song Yu and Jiang Shiyun sisters left the house, Jiang Yunwan went to Feng Yingying's yard.
"Hey, Wanwan, why did you leave the yard? Go back quickly."
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. It's not that easy for the person behind the scenes to get in. Dad and Mom all know about it, right?"
Feng Yingying: "I know everything. My father was worried and asked someone to keep an eye on them for a few days. What do you want from me? Now that you've finished speaking, please return to Furong Garden."
Jiang Yunwan: "Shushu will be forced to give birth prematurely in a few days."
Feng Yingying: "Don't worry about this. Take care of yourself. We have arranged people, and Ming En will also be watching in the dark."
"I want to ask if all the concubines have entered the Cheng Mansion?"
"No, she's still waiting to give birth on Yukang Street. She's waiting for the baby to be delivered through the underground passage. They've arranged for people to come and arrest her as soon as the baby is delivered. They'll throw her and Cheng Xiao together. Aren't they loving and affectionate? And they're letting Yu Shi serve a useless person..."
Cheng Qingmeng arrived at Chaofeng Palace Academy and waited at the door for half a quarter of an hour. Du Zhihuan's carriage slowly stopped at the main entrance of Chaofeng Palace Academy.
"Cheng Qingmeng, haven't your cousins arrived yet?"
Cheng Qingmeng didn't want to pay attention to her, but Du Zhihuan turned over the badge to reveal the words "third-rank noble lady".
Cheng Qingmeng suppressed her displeasure and bowed to Du Zhihuan, "They should be here soon. You go in first."
Seeing that she had bowed, Du Zhihuan did not bother her and entered the Chaofeng Palace Academy.
Qing He was so angry that she muttered, "She is now the adopted daughter of the Du family, no longer the noble and honorable eldest daughter of the Weiyuan Marquisate, yet she is still so arrogant!"
"I can't help it. After all, she's a third-rank noblewoman. I'll just have to bear with it for now. After the spring exam next year, I won't be the one to greet her."
She is now the eldest daughter of the Pingxi Marquis's Mansion. No matter how Du Zhihuan plays tricks, the Du family will no longer spoil her as mindlessly as before.
Otherwise, Lord Du and Madam Du would lose their cousin, such a good daughter, forever.
Not long after, Song Yu and Jiang Shiyun rushed over.
"Cousin, what's going on? Has the criminal been caught?" Cheng Qingmeng lowered her voice very low.
Song Yu shook his head. "Now is not the time to talk. I'll explain it to you in detail at noon."
As the bell for Chaofeng Palace School rang, Gu Yining, who was far away in Yunqi Inn, woke up.
Without waiting for Gu Yining to ask, Xiao Yanxu confessed honestly.
"Ah Xiao and the others made some progress yesterday."
Gu Yining: "Did Huanhuan really have sex in secret?"
"No, she didn't go to meet Gan'er secretly. Instead, she went to a courtyard in the west of the city. There lived an old man and a few servants there. It was confirmed that they were not people close to Gan'er."
Gu Yining: "Do you know what she was doing there? Did you overhear any useful information?"
"The people below sneaked in, but didn't dare get too close. There was someone guarding outside the main hall, a martial artist. Oh, and by the way, Huanhuan didn't go there herself. She asked someone around her to dress up as a cook."
"What?" Gu Yining was surprised. "Are you sure? Did Song Yu's people find out?"
"No, Song Yu only arranged one person. How could one person keep an eye on everything? Fortunately, Ah Xiao brought two more people..."
Xiao Yanxu told Gu Yining the news that Tian Xiao had brought back.
"Are you sure Huanhuan hasn't left?"
"No, Ah Xiao stayed at the teahouse across the street until nightfall to make sure she didn't go out. Later, the two cooks bought some ingredients and had dinner at the tavern before returning to the Song Mansion."
"What is the old man's identity? Have you found out?"
Xiao Yanxu: "We didn't want to alert the enemy, so our people didn't rush in to investigate. For the time being, we are keeping an eye on the whereabouts of the people in the mansion. A Xiaoduo just sent two people over there to inquire with the surrounding neighbors. We will have results today."
Gu Yining sat in front of the dressing table, looking at herself in the bronze mirror with a frown on her face, then quickly relaxed her brows. "Do you think that person could be a member of the Wu family?"
"Wu family?"
"Wasn't Wu Lingheng exiled? He must have left someone in Beijing, hoping Huanhuan would find a way to get him back."
"Impossible! She doesn't have that much ability. An official who saves a fugitive will be punished. She grew up in the Du Mansion and knows what is important."
Gu Yining turned her head to look at him, "Could it be that Wu Lingheng disappeared during his exile and came back to hide in that house?"
"Absolutely impossible. He couldn't possibly have escaped. Back then, it was because of the exile of Marquis Changsheng Zhan Lingyuan that he faked his death and escaped to the capital to avenge the prince. The emperor was furious and issued an order that the escorts and officials from all the counties along the way must strictly check the identities of the exiled prisoners. He wanted to fake his death and escape, so he must not be allowed to succeed. He was sent on his way."
Gu Yining said, "She can't go openly, and yet she has someone close to her pretend to be a cook to meet this person. She must have some ulterior motive! She must have passed the news to Song Yu quietly. There's definitely more going on between the Wu and Song families than meets the eye. If Song Yu finds out, he'll probably understand her intentions."
Xiao Yanxu was surprised, "You now completely treat Song Yu as your granddaughter-in-law?"
