Chapter 111 Letter from Yunqiao's Wet Nurse
He had mentioned the matter of checking Yunqiao before, but because he didn't doubt Yunqiao at all, he quickly put the matter behind him.
If Wang Xiaodong hadn't mentioned it today, Chen Jingyan really wouldn't have remembered it.
But how could this Princess Huachao investigate Yunqiao?
Is it because he favors Yun Qiao, and Princess Hua Chao wants to find something to hold Yun Qiao against her?
Chen Jingyan felt somewhat disgusted with Princess Hua Chao's behavior of investigating Yun Qiao before she married him.
"Keep an eye on her secretly. If Princess Huachao shows any signs of restlessness, tell me directly."
"My Lord, I've discovered that Princess Huachao isn't just investigating Lord Chen Ruhai, who serves in Kyoto, but has also investigated people in northern Shaanxi. Furthermore, I heard that the princess was found in northern Shaanxi."
Chen Jingyan frowned and looked at Wang Xiaodong.
"What do you mean by that?"
Wang Xiaodong said, "I haven't done much research, and I haven't found any clues about the others. But I have a hunch that Princess Huachao and Concubine Qiao seem to have some kind of relationship."
Chen Jingyan felt somewhat suspicious. Wang Xiaodong was his servant in the Marquis' Mansion, and it was already the limit for him to be able to find out such information.
The rest will be left to Chen Jingyan's guards to investigate.
After Chen Jingyan finished talking with Wang Xiaodong, he went directly to his grandmother's courtyard.
When the Marquis came back today, the old lady of the Marquis's Mansion sent someone to question him. When Chen Jingyan arrived, the old lady was lying on the soft couch in the room, and the maid was beating her legs.
Suddenly I heard the little maid at the door shout:
"The Marquis is here..."
The old lady smiled happily, "Finally, you remembered me, your grandmother."
Chen Jingyan strode in with a smile on his face, "I am an unfilial grandson and have caused you to worry."
"Grandson will have dinner with you tonight."
The old lady looked at Chen Jingyan and asked, "Did you find it when you went to Jiangcheng this time?"
Chen Jingyan sat in front of the old lady and said, "We have found the person, but he was raised in the fields and has a strange temper. So he stayed in the Li family in Jiangcheng and asked the second lady of the Li family to teach him the rules. I dare not deceive my grandmother."
The old lady sighed.
"Why don't you bring her back? Let me take a look at her first. Sanlang, I don't like your mother, but your parents have been dead for many years, and I've stopped thinking about them. After all, that child is your sister, your father's child. How could I not allow her to enter the Marquis' Mansion?"
"I'll bring him back in a few days and train him in front of me."
No matter what, she is my granddaughter.
Would she love the two non-biological granddaughters in the first wife's house and ignore her own biological granddaughter?
Chen Jingyan said, "Grandson knows that Grandmother is a very kind and benevolent person. But my little sister's temper gives me a headache, and I worry that she will make you angry."
"Humph, I have plenty of ways to teach her a lesson."
Just then, Chang's mother came to say that dinner was ready.
"Grandma, let me have dinner with you first."
The old lady glared at him and asked, "Why aren't you going to accompany your concubine Qiao today?"
"Mrs. Cheng has been elevated to a higher position for so long, yet you've never been to her courtyard once. And that Concubine Zhang is pretty, too. Why don't you like her?"
After hearing his grandmother's words, Chen Jingyan said, "Grandson is going to tell you that the concubines in Xiaoxiang Garden are not young anymore. If they want to leave, they should leave the Marquis' Mansion."
"What about Concubine Cheng? She is deeply in love with the Marquis. And Concubine Zhang is also unwilling to leave."
Chen Jingyan nodded.
"We'll talk about this later. Those who want to leave will be given the opportunity to leave. If anyone doesn't want to leave, they will stay in the backyard."
But if you want to be favored, I'm afraid you have no chance.
Not to mention the concubines and maids in the backyard, Chen Jingyan was not even willing to get close to his future wife, Princess Hua Chao.
Chen Jingyan felt a little annoyed when he thought about sleeping with her after marriage.
Moreover, he had a premonition that if he touched another woman, Yun Qiao would definitely not let him get close to her again.
After having dinner with his grandmother, Chen Jingyan returned to the main courtyard and did not go to Yunqiao's Lanyuan.
In the study, Chen Jingyan sat at the desk with a black-clad guard standing in front of him.
"My Lord, are you planning to have your subordinates go to northern Shaanxi to investigate Princess Huachao's background? Do you suspect the princess's identity is fake?"
"Investigating Princess Hua Chao's identity is one thing, and we need to find out the relationship between her and Concubine Qiao. Also, Concubine Qiao has a wet nurse in her hometown in northern Shaanxi. You should go see her and ask around."
The guard took the order and left.
This side of Lanyuan.
Yun Qiao was lying on the bed when she suddenly heard Xiao Tao say that there was a letter from her hometown.
"Is it a letter from the nurse?"
During the Chinese New Year two years ago, someone came to the Chen family and said that his uncle Chen Ruhai was going to send someone to northern Shaanxi to worship his ancestors. He came to ask Yun Qiao whether she was his niece. Chen Ruhai still asked.
Yun Qiao prepared some things and asked people going to northern Shaanxi to help take them back to the wet nurse.
In addition, the nurse was asked to burn some things and place some tributes at the graves of his parents, which meant giving the nurse some extra money in the bag.
It’s been so long since this happened, why did the wet nurse suddenly write to me at this time?
