Chapter 397 Staring at Gu Jinyan
"Which one exactly?"
Ah Hai pointed at Gu Jinyan's carriage and asked, "Is this the carriage of the eldest daughter of the Gu family?"
"Are you sure?"
Ah Hai said, "The shopkeeper thought a wealthy guest had arrived and went to greet them personally, but the two country old men at the door got directly into the carriage."
Song Mingen thought for a while and said, "Retreat first!"
Song Mingen went to look for Wen Can.
"Brother, why are you here so early? Didn't you say you'd be back later in the night?"
Song Mingen: "Give me a bowl of noodles first."
Wen Can was surprised that his sister-in-law didn't even invite his elder brother to have dinner!
"Wait, I'll cook noodles for you myself."
"Let the servant do it. I have something to say."
Wen Can quickly asked someone to go to the kitchen to cook noodles, "Brother, what do you want to tell me?"
"Sister Yu saved an elderly man on the roadside today. His eyes looked very much like mine. Bai Lan sent the elderly couple to the Huiji Inn. When I went to check again, they hadn't stayed there at all. They were picked up by the Gu family. The carriage that came was that of Gu Jinyan, the eldest daughter of the Gu family."
Wen Can frowned. "Could it be Gu Wanqing's first wife? That's not right. Didn't Gu Wanqing's first wife pass away a few years ago? Or are we looking in the wrong direction? Gu Zhouci is a bastard, and you are the eldest son. Gu Lao San is just a second-generation rich kid that no one looks down upon."
Song Mingen nodded, "It's possible. Arrange people to keep an eye on Gu Zhouci. Oh, and focus on the eldest daughter of the Gu family."
Wen Can thought for a moment and then said, "The old man only has eyes, but his ears look like yours?"
Song Mingen looked at Wen Can: "Look into my eyes."
Wen Can: "Looking at your eyes is useless. I want to look at the old man's eyes."
"Don't talk! Look into my eyes." Song Mingen closed his eyes and slowly opened them again.
"A-chan, you see, Sister Yu said that the look in my eyes when I opened them just now was very similar to that old man's."
Wen Can was surprised. "It's just the look, not the eyes. Sister Yu didn't say she looks like you in other places, right?"
Song Mingen nodded.
"That's it, then. She's definitely not your biological mother, nor could she be Gu Wanqing pretending to be her. Those two elderly people were arranged by Miss Gu to be examined by Sister Yu. After all, Miss Gu is a good friend of Du Zhihuan, and she definitely wants Du Zhihuan to marry her cousin. Sister Yu naturally dislikes her, so she came up with this idea to get Sister Yu to save her. These two are most likely her grandparents. Tomorrow I'll arrange for someone to inquire about Madam Gu's natal family, the Kang family, to see if the two elders of the Kang family have any difficult or complicated illnesses!"
Song Mingen felt that what he said made some sense. "Then let's find out about the situation of the two elders of the Kang family tomorrow. We need to know the result within half a day!"
"Okay, I'll make the arrangements now."
After Wen Can finished making the arrangements, he went to Li Yuejiao's room and said, "Jiaojiao, I'm back."
"Brother, why don't you accompany Wanwan to dinner before coming back?"
"Big brother is suspicious. Everyone looks like his biological father and mother. Sister Yu saved an old woman, so Big brother suspects she is his biological mother..."
Wen Can talked to Li Yuejiao carefully.
Li Yuejiao said, "Let's keep an eye on Miss Gu tomorrow morning. She's the eldest daughter of the Gu family's main branch. If she's still not married at this age, there must be something fishy going on! Isn't she managing most of the Gu family's main branch's assets? If her father, Gu Zhouci, is a bastard, she must know the inside story. She will definitely help her father take the position of head of the Gu family before letting her marry."
Wen Can sneered: "You women are either getting stupid because of pregnancy or you are just imagining things!"
Li Yuejiao reached out and picked up the feather duster under her pillow, "Go and keep an eye on Gu Jinyan tomorrow! Otherwise..."
"Okay, okay, stare at her! Stare at her! Put it down now, it hurts if I hit you. I'm your dear husband."
Wen Can snatched it away and threw it under the bed.
Li Yuejiao curled her lips, "As long as you're obedient, you'll be my beloved husband. Besides, my intuition won't be wrong. Don't forget that the person behind the scenes is always thinking about taking Wanwan's life. Gu Jinyan's arrangement for someone to contact Sister Yu might be the first step to harm her."
"What?" Wen Can was shocked. "It's possible! I'll go tell my brother!"
"Come back here! Get the job done first and then tell big brother! If it's not true, big brother will worry for nothing."
"Oh." Wen Can lay on Li Yuejiao's chest like a little puppy, "Jiaojiao is right."
At six quarters after the twilight hour, Ningshuang entered Hibiscus Garden.
"Are you sure her subordinates didn't slip out from the back?"
Ning Shuang said, "Ah Qi and Prince Mu's men were watching in the back alley and they wouldn't have made a mistake. Du Zhihuan left after dinner."
Song Yu: "What's wrong with Mr. Chengxi Yan today?"
Mr. Yan is Yang Xu.
Furong, who was standing by, said, "Two women came to see him this morning. In the afternoon, Master Yan went to see a doctor at the tea merchant Zhang's house, three blocks away from the Yan residence. After that, he returned to the Yan residence and has not left since. No one has come to see him."
Song Yu: "Tomorrow, let Ah Qi keep an eye on the Yan residence. Nuan Yu and Chun Hua will rush to the flower manor early in the morning and have them coordinate with Prince Mu's men."
Du Zhihuan, who was far away in the flower village, was soaking in a large bathtub with golden orchid carvings, with a tired look on her face.
"Miss, Yang Xu will definitely be followed when he goes to Zhiji Huanzhang tomorrow."
Du Zhihuan closed her eyes slightly and said, "Don't worry. I was prepared to be discovered when Yang Xu first approached me. Otherwise, why would he have given me the recipe directly that day?"
Yunyan: "Yang Xu is quite smart. Why did he let Song Yu and his family of three come to Beijing in the first place?"
Song Mingzhu's face appeared in front of Du Zhihuan, "Someone is holding us back!"
Cheng Mansion
Cheng Qingmeng couldn't let go of the paraffin baby, "My cousin is so amazing, the baby's eyebrows and eyes are carved to look like mother's."
"Alright, you've been holding it for half an hour. No matter how similar it is, it's fake. Wait until your brother is born and you can hold him as long as you want. It's late, go back to bed. You have to get up early tomorrow to go to Huguo Temple. Don't get up late."
"Okay, I'm going back. Don't forget to take the pregnancy-preserving pills tomorrow morning."
"Got it, let's go." Jiang Yunshu drove the people away and asked Yanzhi to wrap up the baby and hide it. "Meidai, you cried like a baby that day."
Mei Dai: "We must have been sent away by the old lady that day."
"Even if I wasn't set up, would you leave?"
Mei Dai: "Of course not. Madam finally got pregnant, and the baby was born prematurely. We will definitely not leave. We will stay with Madam no matter what."
"That's right. I'm sure I'll faint if I give birth prematurely. That's when you're all flustered and confused, so my mother-in-law will send you away."
On the second day, Cheng Qingmeng rushed to the Huguo Temple under the watchful eyes of Old Madam Cheng.
Madam Cheng breathed a sigh of relief for a moment and said to Nanny Niu: "Now only Shushu's personal maid is left. It would be smart to bring more old maids that day."
"Old Madam, don't worry. Yanzhi and the others must have been in a state of panic that day, and you had to hold the situation together. It would have been easy to get rid of them."
Madam Cheng smiled and said, "That's right. Ask the people over there to send us a message every two hours."
