Chapter 48 Secret Letter
"How is it? Is everything going well?"
"Madam, we arrived in Yancheng three days in advance. As soon as Mr. Jiang entered the city, he was targeted by my subordinates."
Song Mingzhu asked, "Did Elder Jiang discover any flaws?"
"We haven't revealed any flaws, but... Mr. Jiang doesn't easily believe what we say. Before leaving, I found that someone under Mr. Jiang was secretly watching Aunt Xu. Madam, don't worry, Mr. Jiang won't find anything unusual, and Aunt Xu will continue to pretend to be Mrs. Wen Chen..."
"Can you confirm when he will return to Beijing?"
Song Mingzhu was worried that they would run into him on their way back to Beijing.
It would not be so easy to plan to take Song Yu away again.
"Madam, I'm not sure. If Mr. Jiang doesn't find the flaw, he won't be able to stay in Yancheng forever."
Song Mingzhu frowned. Her mother needed to rest for a few days before leaving for the capital.
"Go back to Yancheng and continue watching. Send me a message when Old Jiang returns to Beijing. In the meantime, you need to do something else. Come closer."
Half a minute later, Zhang Yuan left the Song Mansion through the back door in the dark.
"Feng, follow me."
Song Mingen walked out from the darkness with an expressionless face, looked at Song Mingzhu's yard for a long time, and then returned to the east yard.
"How's Ming'en? Is there any movement over at Mingzhu?"
"You'll know when Afeng comes back. It's nothing more than the plan to build Yunyin in the middle of the mountain."
Zhang Feng came back after breakfast the next day.
"Master, last night... that person seemed to have discovered me, and disappeared after entering Penglai County." Zhang Feng lost the person and was obviously a little panicked when facing Song Mingen.
"Don't panic, it's no big deal." Song Mingen patted his shoulder. "These people are subordinates of fifth-rank officials in the capital. Naturally, they have some skills. We must not underestimate the enemy when we arrive in the capital. Understand?"
"clear."
"Go get busy."
"yes."
"Ming En." Jiang Yunwan entered the study. "Is it as we expected, that Song Mingzhu is planning to set up a plan in Yunyin Banshan?"
Song Mingen shook his head. "If there's any movement in Banshan Yunyin, I'll be the first to know. I lost that person last night. Wu Lingheng has cultivated a lot of power in the past ten years in Beijing. He is no longer the young master of the Wu family in Penglai County who fell into poverty."
"He can't afford to support all these people with his official position and salary, right?" Jiang Yunwan smiled and raised an eyebrow. "I guess Wu Lingheng probably used Song Mingzhu's dowry."
Jiang Yunwan looked at Song Mingen as if she was looking at a sucker.
After working so hard to save up a dowry for Song Mingzhu, it ended up being given to Wu Lingheng.
Song Mingen felt a little uneasy when Jiang Yunwan looked at him. "No, she wouldn't be so foolish as to use her dowry to help Wu Lingheng cultivate these forces. Mingzhu said that he was transferred to the capital six months later because he met a noble person in Linyang County. Wu Lingheng must have borrowed the influence of this noble person to support these people."
Jiang Yunwan said, "It seems this nobleman is very powerful in the capital. Wu Lingheng relied on this nobleman to cultivate these forces. After Banshan Yunyin broke off the relationship, we must be more cautious when we enter the capital."
"That's natural."
Zhang Yuan returned to the Wen Family Villa and ran into someone head-on.
"A Tao, why are you here?"
The person who came was Wu Lingheng's other confidant Yu Tao.
"The master was worried that you didn't have enough manpower, so he asked me to bring people here day and night. This is a secret letter from the master. You will know after reading it."
Zhang Yuan took the secret letter and took Yu Tao into a dark room.
Zhang Yuan frowned after reading the secret letter. "Didn't the master previously instruct the Madam to take Song Yu to the capital and teach him a lesson in secret if Song Mingen refused to cooperate? Why... that's the Jiang family."
Yu Tao said, "Although Elder Jiang is respected by the current emperor, the Jiang family is doomed to decline when the new emperor ascends the throne. We will do as the master wishes. None of the three of them can go to the capital."
"That's Madam's eldest brother. Madam won't agree with Master doing this. Madam has already thought of a plan. We just need to stage a scene on the way and kidnap Song Yu. There's no need to take any risks. Having another member of the Jiang family will benefit Master."
Yu Tao's face darkened. "How could the master not understand these principles? Don't forget who your master is. This matter can only be done according to the master's wishes!"
"..." Zhang Yuan said, "Then I need to report this matter to my wife first."
"Okay." Yu Tao took out another letter from his arms, "This is the master's reply. Just give it to Madam. You don't need to say anything else. Go to Wushuang Temple Village to tell Madam the news. I will hurry to meet up with my brothers. Wait for my letter. Once everything is arranged, Madam can bring her family to Beijing."
Yu Tao walked to the door and then turned back. "I followed the mark and found someone outside watching me. But is it Mr. Jiang's people?"
"That's right. Only when Old Jiang leaves for Beijing can we return..."
Song Mingzhu received a reply that night.
"Master and I have the same idea. Now we are just waiting for my mother to get better."
Is the master going to hide this from the lady?
"Madam... your subordinate..."
Seeing Zhang Yuan hesitate to speak, Song Mingzhu felt something was wrong. "Master Jiang discovered a flaw?"
"No, I just wanted to say that if Madam has nothing else to tell me, I will return to Yancheng now."
Zhang Yuan finally chose not to tell the truth, after all, the master was his master.
"Go back. This lady is waiting for your good news."
Zhang Yuan's departure this time was covered by Li Si, and Song Mingen did not notice him.
The next day, Song Mingzhu got up early and went to Chen Chunhua's house.
"aunt."
"Brother Rui, you actually came before me today to pay your respects to your grandmother."
Song Rui said, "I got up early today and came here."
"You two, stop standing there. Come and sit down. It's just right for you to have breakfast with me."
Song Mingzhu hurried over and helped Chen Chunhua to the table. "Mom, I see that you look better today than yesterday. You will be well in four or five days."
"Then we'll go to the capital in five days. No, we won't leave until Ah Heng's reply arrives, otherwise we won't receive it."
"Mom, Ah Heng replied."
Chen Chunhua was surprised. "When? How come I didn't know?"
"It was last night. I saw that my mother had gone to bed, so I didn't come over."
"Then what does Ah Heng say?"
Song Mingzhu glanced at Song Rui, "Ah Heng is looking forward to our early trip to the capital. He has arranged for someone to clean up the yard and is waiting for mother to move in. He said that mother will live in the mansion from now on, and he will be filial to you in the future."
Chen Chunhua was in a good mood. "He's sensible, so does that mean he thinks the same as you?"
Song Mingzhu nodded and served Chen Chunhua her meal.
The room suddenly became quiet.
Song Rui frowned slightly, thinking that his aunt and grandmother must be hiding something.
He came here early in the morning just to get some information.
Last night when he got up at night, he saw Li Si leading a stranger out of the back door of the Song Mansion.
"Grandma, aunt, are you hiding something from us?"
The mother and daughter looked at each other, and Chen Chunhua smiled and said to Song Rui: "Since you asked, I will tell you. I will find someone for you when we get to the capital."
"Grandma, I'm not in a hurry to get married. I'll consider it after I graduate from high school. It's not hard for me to guess that what you're hiding is definitely related to Song Yu's background."
