Zhao Fangchu felt a little disappointed that he didn't see Yang Anchen, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that this yard belonged to Zhang Baoyu, and it would be weird if Yang Anchen could come and go as he pleased.
"As long as you like it, I'll send you fresh ones later."
"Hey." Zhang Baoyu ate one, gave one to her brother, and wanted to wait for Master Zhang to come home to give him a taste of the rest.
The old lady of the Zhang family passed away last year, and Li Shangcai and his sister also fell from power. Now the head of the household fell to Zhang Baoyu.
Mr. Zhang intended to train her, and she learned a lot about housekeeping from Old Madam Zhang. Now she is able to manage the household in a competent manner.
Several people talked in the yard for a while, and suddenly they heard a shrill cry coming from the northwest, which scared them all.
A maid outside the courtyard hurried in to report: "Miss, Li has gone crazy again."
Zhang Baoyu was filled with impatience when she heard this, and asked in a bad tone, "What's wrong with her?"
"I don't know. I fainted from anger yesterday and just woke up. As soon as I woke up, I started screaming and wouldn't listen to anyone."
"Banqin, go and find someone to cover her mouth. Let her go when she is quiet. Drag Li Shangcai to the cold house to prevent them from being together. Li will go crazy when she sees him." Zhang Baoyu waved his hand, signaling the maid to leave.
"yes."
Yang Donghu knew that Li Shangcai had been taken back to Zhang's house. He didn't expect that he was so seriously injured and still alive.
Zhang Baoyu curled her lips. Li had already been disliked by Mr. Zhang, so their affair was not considered a family scandal. She told Yang Donghu and the others what happened yesterday.
"Yesterday was supposed to be the day Yang Chunxue was carried into the mansion to marry Li Shangcai. My father felt that Li Shangcai had committed so many absurd things that his crimes were unforgivable, and he didn't want this to be too publicized, so he hired a sedan chair and secretly went to carry her. But after going around the Yang family, the sedan chair returned empty. When we asked, we found out that Yang Chunxue had heard the news and escaped the night before yesterday. No one knows where she is now."
"How could it be such a coincidence? If Yang Chunxue had known Li Shangcai had become like this, she would have made a scene long ago. Everything had been peaceful for so long, why did she run away the day before the bride was to be picked up?"
Yang Chunxue certainly didn't know at the beginning that Li Shangcai was already a disabled person. Otherwise, with her personality, she would have told everyone in the surrounding villages about it and then tried every possible way to ruin the marriage.
Yang Donghu had long known that the father and son of the Yang family were a wicked pair. They only cared about themselves and didn't care about the lives of others. They would definitely hide the matter from Yang Chunxue and would not say a word. They would only wait for the Zhang family's sedan chair to come and take the person away in exchange for some money.
Yang Chunxue must have known something before she ran away. It was obviously impossible that she heard the rumor from the father and son of the Yang family, otherwise she would not have run away in the middle of the night.
Yang Donghu suddenly remembered the look on Miss Li Guihua Chen Si's face when she saw him yesterday, as if she had seen a ghost. He inexplicably felt that she was related to this matter.
Zhang Baoyu's disdain for the Yang family was written all over his face. He said disdainfully, "How could that vampire Yang family tell the truth to Yang Chunxue? They're still waiting for my father to give them the money. Later, I found out that she heard it from someone else."
"It's Chen Si."
"How did you know that?" Zhang Baoyu was a little surprised. "I found out after I sent someone to investigate. How could you guess it?"
Yang Donghu shook his head. "No, I ran into Chen Si yesterday. I know she's always been good friends with Yang Chunxue. She was so scared when she saw me, like she saw a ghost. Anyway, she must have something to do with this."
"That's right. She let the cat out of the bag, and Yang Chunxue found out the truth. She fled overnight, but they had already taken the money they gave to the Yang family. Although my Zhang family is wealthy and can afford that little money, my father didn't want to let the Yang family get away with it. The money had to be returned after the person ran away. The father and son of the Yang family are both gamblers, so they don't have any money left. I heard they are looking for her everywhere."
Zhang Baoyu seemed to have thought of something happy and laughed, "When Mrs. Li knew that Yang Chunxue and Li Shangcai were actually married, she dreamed that Yang Chunxue would get pregnant and give her family an heir. She didn't even think about how her brother, with his drug-addled body, could possibly have a child. Now that he's gone, her dream is shattered. She's screaming in the house. It's so annoying."
Yang Donghu knew long ago that Li Shangcai deserved his punishment, and now the same is true for the Yang family. Wang Dujuan is still lying in bed and unable to get up. It is really retribution, and it can be regarded as a vengeance for himself and his original body.
"They are all getting their comeuppance. Let them fight each other."
Zhang Baoyu nodded and said, "I heard you have a grudge against the Yang family. Be careful that they might come after you desperately. If you need anything, you can come to me. After all, it's always a good thing to deal with a bad guy."
Yang Donghu and Zhang Baoyu had only met for the second time, and he had not expected her to be so righteous and sincere. He smiled and said, "I know, thank you."
There was still no news about Liu Guiyuan. Zhao Luochuan asked people along the river for more than 30 miles north and south, but there was no news at all. It would be easier for the Zhang family to find out about this since they were outnumbered. Yang Donghu hesitated for a moment, but decided to ask Zhang Baoyu for help.
"Back when Li Shangcai was doing evil, he took possession of a prostitute named Hanxiao. Hanxiao's real name was Cao'er, an innocent man. Being without a father and a mother was pitiful enough. His brother was a beast who sold him to a brothel for money, and that's when Li Shangcai took him in. He had a childhood sweetheart named Liu Guiyuan, who was persecuted by Li Shangcai and is still missing. My husband has tried his best to find her but to no avail. I wonder if Miss Baoyu could do Cao'er a favor and help him find out whether Liu Guiyuan is dead or alive."
Zhang Baoyu had no idea that such a thing had happened. After hearing what he said, she felt that Li Shangcai was extremely hateful and wanted to beat him to death immediately. She said angrily: "Li Shangcai really deserves to die. He has harmed so many people. That Cao'er is so pitiful. Don't worry, now that I know about this, I will not sit idly by. I will send someone to look for him immediately and tell you as soon as I have any news."
