Chapter 402 Song Mingen sees Gu Yining up close
"Let's go and take a look first."
There has been no progress in the investigation so far, and no news has come from Cannes.
Now that we have finally found these two people, we can't let them go.
You will definitely gain something if you follow it.
"Brother, just following them isn't a solution. What if the real person behind the scenes attacks my sister-in-law?"
Song Mingen said, "It's not that easy for the person behind the scenes to sneak into the Jiang Mansion. It's definitely not a coincidence that these two people can appear across the street from the Jiang Mansion. They are definitely the ones behind the scenes."
Wen Can: "Then we have to find a way to see their true appearance, otherwise our efforts will be in vain if we follow them for a few days and find out they are not real."
Song Mingen: "That's right. Think carefully, is there any way to see the true appearance of the two without anyone noticing?"
Wen Can: ...
Can he take back what he just said?
A quarter of an hour after the two of them left the city, Du Zhihuan and his group arrived at the city gate.
"Miss." Chunhua returned to the Jiang Mansion.
"Why are you back so early today? Did Du Zhihuan go back to the flower farm?"
Chunhua nodded. "Du Zhihuan took the Marquis' wife shopping early this morning, buying winter clothing and a lot of nourishing food and medicinal herbs for the Marquis, his wife, and the old lady. She paid for everything. The Marquis' wife didn't look worried at all, so it's safe to say Du Zhihuan didn't tell them about her incurable disease."
Song Yu: "Has she ever left during this period?"
"No, they went to the Heyue Restaurant at noon and left half an hour later to return to the Du family's villa."
Cheng Qingmeng frowned. "Du Zhihuan didn't say anything. This isn't her style. She's definitely not sick."
Jiang Shiyun said, "Don't be so resentful. Du Zhihuan is, after all, a daughter of the Du family. The Marquis and his wife truly dote on her. She can't let her cousin's relationship with them become too strained, otherwise she'd be considered an ungrateful person."
"Humph! She's not saying she's worried the Marquis and his wife will see through her evil heart. She's showing filial piety now just to make him think she's being filial and that their love for her isn't in vain. If she ever falls ill and faints, the Marquis and his wife will take the initiative to question her. Then they'll ask my cousin to see her in order to save her. She's really manipulating him and his wife."
Jiang Shiyun: "Look at how contradictory you are. Just now you didn't believe she was seriously ill, but now you believe it."
Cheng Qingmeng choked, "I..."
"Alright," Song Yu interrupted them. "Stop arguing over someone like Du Zhihuan. Even if she's dying, I wouldn't take her pulse no matter who asks. Besides, she has plenty of loyal followers who are searching for a miracle doctor. Right now, we need to focus on my aunt."
"Cousin Meng, it's been two days and the extramarital affair hasn't happened yet. I have classes tomorrow, but I don't have classes the afternoon after tomorrow. Could it be the afternoon after tomorrow?"
Cheng Qingmeng thought back to her previous life. It seemed to be the afternoon when she had no classes. "It was almost the same day. I was just afraid it would be different from what I had in my dream."
Song Yu: "Don't worry, you've already taken leave. If the mistress starts, you can rush over with your aunt at any time."
Outside the city.
The couple was lucky. Half an hour after leaving the city, they ran into several villagers driving ox carts.
The ox cart was filled with chickens, ducks, geese, wild rabbits, wild mushrooms, a large basket of chickens, and a large basket of goose eggs.
When the villagers saw the carriage stopped, they subconsciously protected the things on the ox cart.
Gu Yining got off the carriage before Xiao Yanxu.
"Madam, wait a minute, stay away from the bullock cart."
Xiao Yanxu quickly chased after the man and got out of the car, fearing that the villagers would hurt her.
"Old man." Gu Yining looked at the oldest villager and said in a friendly tone, "Are you sending these farm products to the capital to sell or give them to others?"
Seeing that the visitor was not dressed too fancy but had an extraordinary temperament, the old man said calmly, "Give some away and sell some."
Gu Yining: "Which ones are for sale?"
When the old man saw that she wanted to buy something, he pointed at chicken eggs, goose eggs and wild mushrooms.
"Well, I'll take all the twenty taels you mentioned."
What?
The old man was dumbfounded. He had misjudged the person. The visitor was rich!
If I had known about this earlier, I wouldn’t have given my other half away!
Not long after Gu Yining and others left, Wen Can went to buy two ducks, two geese, and a wild rabbit.
"Brother, I bought it back."
Song Mingen: "Achan, thank you for going to the Jiang Mansion and delivering my portion to my father-in-law and mother-in-law to replenish their bodies. Then go back to accompany your brother and sister-in-law. I will keep an eye on these two people personally."
Wen Can:?
This dismissed him, "No, I have to follow. I have to cover your face again tomorrow morning or you'll be exposed."
"It's up to you. If my sister-in-law is unhappy and wants to punish you, I won't stand in the way."
Wen Can smiled and said, "Don't worry, Jiaojiao not only doesn't want to hit me, but also won't let me bother her."
On the second day, Song Yu and Jiang Shiyun arrived at Chaofeng Palace Academy. They did not rush in and waited for half a quarter of an hour before Du Zhihuan finally arrived.
Although Du Zhihuan's face looked rosy, her lips were a little pale. Yunyan carefully helped her get off the carriage.
Seeing Song Yu at the door, Du Zhihuan quickly pursed her lips to moisten her pale lips, and her whole body instantly became full of energy.
"Sister, you're here first again."
Song Yu nodded slightly at her and ignored her.
Du Zhihuan entered the academy and looked back at her.
I wonder if you can escape this time?
Du Zhihuan had just turned her gaze away when she heard Jiang Shiyun say, "Oh, cousin, cousin Meng won't be coming. She's taken some time off to go to Huguo Temple to pray for my aunt's safety. I don't know when she'll be back."
"Oh, yes, I forgot. Let's go in."
Song Yu pulled Jiang Shiyun and quickly entered the gate, soon surpassing Du Zhihuan.
After entering the Sixth Grade Hall, Jiang Shiyun leaned over and whispered, "She seems to be really sick. Just now, when she saw us, she forced herself to talk to us and even licked her lips."
Song Yu nodded: "She still has plenty of energy and blood, so she won't die so soon."
Gu Yining and his wife did not go downstairs the entire morning. It was not until one hour before the classes at Chaofeng Palace Academy were over that a pair of gray-haired old people came downstairs wrapped in cloaks.
At first, Song Mingen just took a look and then looked away.
The two old men passed by Song Mingen and went out through the main gate.
"Ma'am, be careful."
Hearing the sound, Song Mingen turned around suddenly and saw the familiar carriage parked at the door.
Song Mingen looked at the gray-haired Xiao Yanxu again and couldn't help but curl his lips.
His guess was correct; these two were masters of disguise.
If I hadn't said anything, I would have really fooled him.
Song Mingen led Wen Can and followed closely behind.
Two streets away from Chaofeng Palace Academy, the two men took off their cloaks and got off the carriage in coarse linen clothes.
Tian Xiao quickly took a basket of eggs, a basket of goose eggs, and a backpack of wild mushrooms from the carriage, placed them in front of the two of them, and retreated to a distance to guard them.
"Brother, what are they doing? Are they selling chicken and goose eggs here?"
Song Mingen looked at the sky, then gazed towards Fenggong Academy in the distance.
"After finishing school at Fenggong Academy, these two should be waiting for Sister Yu here."
Wen Can's eyes widened. "Could it be that these two are trying to get close to Sister Yu in this way, become familiar with her, and then come and harm her?"
Song Mingen's eyes darkened. "It's very likely that the two of them cannot be allowed to come into contact with Sister Yu."
"It's too late. Sister Yu's carriage is coming."
When Gu Yining saw Song Yu's carriage coming, she was about to step forward excitedly, but a tall figure blocked her way.
Gu Yining raised her eyes to look at him.
Song Mingen was shocked. Her eyes really looked like his!
"Auntie, how much are these goose eggs?"
