Ye Zhenzhen just missed the Cui family and saw someone who was suspected of being a Cui family in Fucheng.
She happened to pass by the county government office on something that day and saw a group of people coming out. The two people walking at the front were particularly impressive. One middle-aged man was wearing official uniform and was the prefect of this place; the other was in his forties and looked elegant.
He looks like a scribe, and his appearance is somewhat familiar.
The magistrate and the scribe seemed to be old friends, and his distant laughter could be heard from a distance, "Shihuai, I haven't seen you for many years, but this time you passed by my jurisdiction, you said you must stay for a few days."
The scribe shook his head and said, "Brother Qin, I also want to have a drink and talk with you, but I still have a mission. I can only stay for one day at most. I really can't stay longer. If I have a chance in the future, I will definitely talk about poetry and Taoism with you. Let's continue.
Classmate friendship.”
"It's okay for one day. Let's go up to the Qingfeng Tower and I'll help you catch the wind and wash away the dust."
…
The group of people chatted and laughed and left quickly.
Ye Zhenzhen watched the scribe walking by, and finally realized why he felt familiar. He and Brother Zhen were clearly somewhat similar.
Coupled with his similar name to his late father-in-law, his identity is already clear.
The Cui family really came.
Ye Zhenzhen looked solemn and hurried back to the other courtyard without caring about having anything.
Aunt Cui was doing needlework in the main room. Seeing her hurried look on her face, she quickly asked with concern, "Aren't you going to buy pastries from Zhiyuan Building? Why are you back so soon?"
From the look on her face, she looked like something had happened.
Aunt Cui was not in a good mood. Ye Zhenzhen didn't want to worry her by saying it, so she smiled and said, "I got there late and all the pastries were sold out, so I had to wait until next time. I encountered a lot of imitations."
Man Tingfang’s makeup, I’m looking forward to it very much. I have new inspiration on the road, so I’m anxious to come back and write it down.”
Ye Zhenzhen is really busy with Man Tingfang's affairs this time. Aunt Cui knows a lot about it. After hearing what she said, she doesn't doubt it. She just advises, "No matter how busy you are, you should take care of yourself. I'll let Yuxiu stew."
Warm-repelling soup, remember to drink more later to avoid catching the cold."
"I understand, thank you, mother."
Ye Zhenzhen went to the study as a matter of course, wrote a letter about what she saw today, and then went to the door to call someone, "Zhang San, could you please give this letter to Shopkeeper Xu, and have someone hurry up and send it back to Linxi County.
"
Since they were all women, shopkeeper Xu was afraid of being unsafe, so he asked the store's servant Zhang San to help guard the yard. It was easy to do some errands on weekdays.
Zhang San agreed repeatedly and left with the letter. If nothing unexpected happens, Brother Zhen will get the news this evening.
Linxi County, Cuijia.
The population of the Cui family was not large, there were only six people including servants, which was still too small compared to the second house, but Cui Weizhen never felt empty.
Ever since Ye Zhenzhen and the others left, the house suddenly became deserted, as if it had lost its vitality. Cui Weizhen still hasn't adapted to the empty sleep in his arms.
Not seeing me for one day is like three autumns. The ancients never deceived me.
Of course, Cui Weizhen is not a sentimental person, and he has never forgotten who caused all this. He goes out early and comes back late every day. No one except Hong Zhiyuan knows what he is busy with.
On this day, it was rare for him to come back from the county school. Not long after, someone came to visit. Hong Zhiyuan brought the person in. If Ye Zhenzhen were here, she would definitely recognize this person as a friend of the third uncle. Last time, she was followed and killed by him.
Helped once.
Sun Meng, the son of Aunt Yue Fang.
Even though Sun Meng was close to Ye Sanyong, he was only a few years older than Cui Weizhen, so he always felt awkward when facing his friend's niece and son-in-law, and didn't know what to call him.
"Well, Mr. Cui, you asked us to keep an eye on the county government office. There is some movement today. A carriage just came out of it. It looked like a servant's carriage, but after a lot of twists and turns, it stopped at a house.
Then Su Yinghuai, the tortoise grandson, was helped down."
Su Yinghuai's offense to Ye Zhenzhen was known to several of Ye Sanyong's close brothers, and they were all filled with indignation. Therefore, after Cui Weizhen entrusted him to keep an eye on him, they became very active and wanted to rush up and beat the turtle grandson to relieve his anger.
But he still remembered Cui Weizhen's instructions, so he forcibly held back, and hurriedly came back to report, "I saw that there were many guards in the house, and some servants were buying things. I also invited Dr. Sun, who was in charge before, and I'm afraid he will be leaving the city tomorrow.
Already."
Cui Weizhen was not surprised by this. He managed to find out the news from Su Yinghuai's doctor. Su Yinghuai injured his head and was almost recovered after a month of bed rest. With Li Xuandao's cautious character, he would definitely not let him stay in Linxi.
County, if you want to leave, it will definitely be during these days.
If the revenge for humiliating one's wife is not avenged, how can the enemy be allowed to leave?
Cui Weizhen's expression was chilling, "If he continues to be stared at, he won't be able to escape even if he wants to."
Su Meng trembled all over, feeling that the third brother's niece and niece-in-law were each more terrifying than the other, so she didn't dare to ask any more questions, so she agreed and left.
After he left, Cui Weizhen looked at Hong Zhiyuan and said, "Is there no problem with Dr. Sun?"
Dr. Zhou is Su Yinghuai's attending doctor. Su Yinghuai has not recovered yet, and no one dares to ignore the injury on his head. If he wants to leave, he will definitely need a doctor, and Dr. Sun will definitely be his first choice.
It seems that he guessed correctly.
Hong Zhiyuan's face was full of admiration and he nodded respectfully, "Doctor Sun thought at first that we were going to harm someone and refused to accept the money. After hearing the villain's explanation, he agreed. He promised to hold the person back."
It couldn't be easier to hold back a patient who had injured his head. No matter how anxious Li Xuandao and the others were, they did not dare to let Su Yinghuai risk his life and leave in a hurry.
Yes, Cui Weizhen never thought of poisoning Su Yinghuai to death. This would be too advantageous for him. As long as he delayed the person until Ye Sanyong came back, it would be his cruelest retribution.
Cui Weizhen planned all the details carefully to avoid any omissions. It was not until Aunt Guilan came over to remind him to eat that he suddenly realized that it was already dusk.
Thinking of Ye Zhenzhen's instructions before leaving, he had to put down his thoughts temporarily and hastily prepared a dinner. He was eating alone and he really had no appetite.
There were especially many visitors today. Someone called the door outside. Hong Zhiyuan heard the noise and ran out. Cui Weizhen thought it was time to hire a concierge, otherwise running around like this would be really outrageous.
Not long after, Hong Zhiyuan came back with an envelope in his hand.
"Master, Madam has returned with a letter."
Cui Weizhen's face lit up with joy. He didn't even care about what was wrong with the letter he received from home just yesterday, and quickly said, "Give it to me quickly."
He hurriedly opened the letter, and the joy on his face gradually disappeared, and finally turned into condensation.
