Chapter four hundred and eighty seventh, investigate Xuanping Houfu
"Please speak." He said to the adults with his hands behind his back.
"There is a side door connecting our house and the Xuanping Hou's house next door, which makes it easier to travel between each other." After Yu Zhongyang hesitated, he finally spoke out.
"Do you think it's possible... that you got here from the Xuanping Hou Mansion?" Master Xiang asked with a stern face.
"No...that's not what I meant. I just think that the side door should also be checked, so I would like to explain it first." Yu Zhongyang waved his hand hurriedly.
"Is it possible that you came from the side door?" Mr. Xiang was silent for a moment and then asked.
"It shouldn't be possible!" Yu Zhongyang shook his head, "My wife and Mrs. Hou are cousins. When they were two heads of household, this side door between the two houses was basically always open, making it extremely convenient for people to come and go. Now it's closed most of the time.
"
Just because it's closed a lot doesn't mean it's not there.
It's unlikely, but conversely, it's also possible.
"Take me to have a look." He said to the adult.
Yu Zhongyang then led Mr. Xiang to the side door. The side door was closed. When he opened the side of Zhengyuan Hou Mansion, he saw the door on the opposite side of the same wall.
Send someone to check it out.
"Sir, there's nothing unusual. It's just an ordinary door that can't be opened when the other side is closed." The yamen officer reported after reading it.
"If you want people from the other side to come over, you have to open the door on your side, and they have to open the door on their side?" Mr. Xiang came to the conclusion after personally checking.
"That's usually what it means." Yu Zhongyang laughed twice.
"Generally speaking, does it mean there are special circumstances?" Mr. Xiang raised his eyes and looked at Yu Zhongyang.
Yu Zhongyang shook his head in distress: "Master Xiang, I really don't know that my health... was not very good before. I lay down for a while, and things happened one after another in the house. In the end, it was my elderly mother who took care of the affairs for a few days. She must be old after all.
It's too big, and there are some things that I can't take care of. My mother doesn't know if the side door is strict."
Yu Zhongyang rubbed his brows sadly.
Everyone knew that he was not in good health and was beaten by Prince Qi. No one thought that Yu Zhongyang would use this reason to go to Jiangnan and try to kill Yu Chengxuan.
"Since there is a side entrance here, I will also go to Xuanpinghou Mansion when I want to check." He patted Yu Zhongyang on the shoulder and said.
"Thank you, sir." Yu Zhongyang bowed deeply.
He walked back to the master with his hands behind his back, and said meaningfully: "Although the house is a bit chaotic, the children must be well-educated. They can't bring the affairs of the house to the outside and make others laugh."
"What I want to tell you is that I'm sorry to trouble you about the matter between Xing'er and Yun'er." Yu Zhongyang's smile became more and more bitter, "My eldest brother is gone, and my third brother has such an irresponsible temper. I can handle it all by myself."
The situation is extremely difficult, and the children are all debts. My wife still...does such things, and now...even my mother has had an accident."
Speaking of sadness, Yu Zhongyang turned around hurriedly, wiped his sleeves randomly at the corners of his eyes, and turned his head again, only forcing a smile on his face.
Thinking that things have happened one after another in the Zhengyuanhou Mansion, Mr. Xiang couldn't help but sigh with emotion. He looked at Yu Zhongyang with some sympathy. Although Yu Zhongyang's reputation was not as good as that of Zhengyuanhou, he had always been good.
It is inevitable for a real man to have an unvirtuous wife and an unfilial son, which is indeed depressing to say.
"Master Ling's matter, if Ling Niece doesn't make a fuss and explains the matter clearly, it won't be a big deal." He said something to the adults.
The matter of Yu Chengxuan is over, and the other matter that will be reported together can be big or small, it all depends on what the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion does.
"Thank you, sir. Yun'er is currently at the residence of the third girl in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion and won't be able to come back for a while. The third brother and his wife are not in good health and are still ill. We can only postpone it for a while." Yu Zhongyang lowered his head and spoke again.
It was a long sigh.
Jing Zhaoyin felt that Yu Zhongyang was really in trouble, so he stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder wordlessly. To a certain extent, this matter was related to the third girl from the Xuanping Hou Mansion, and to the assassination of this third girl.
I heard that Princess An and the eldest princess had made trouble for the Minister of Punishment, so Mr. Xiang felt that it was better not to kiss...
The Marquis of Zhengyuan's Mansion was visited by a daring thief.
Not only did she visit, but she also visited the backyard. Mrs. Yu Tai of the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion almost died. Once the news came out, it caused a sensation in all the aristocratic families. Everyone was in danger and felt that she was a traitor.
, many aristocratic families conduct self-examination of their own manpower.
Any personnel whose origins were unclear or who felt suspicious were dismissed.
It is better to release someone by mistake than to leave someone at random. It may be his mother, wife and daughter who will get into trouble.
Because there is a side door between the two mansions, Mr. Jing Zhaoyin went to the Xuanping Hou Mansion to inquire. He also checked the location of the two doors at the side door and the reason why they were closed. Finally, he came to the conclusion that the suspect
It is impossible to go through Xuanpinghou Mansion.
Compared to the Marquis of Zhengyuan's Mansion, the inner courtyard of the Marquis of Xuanping's Mansion is even more rigorous. Mrs. Zhou's inner courtyard is very strictly guarded. Except for a few people jumping up and down when she first took charge of the Hand Court, no one dares to violate her rules now.
Meaning, you can't just go in and out of the backyard at will. Compared with the one next door, which is managed sometimes, and that is managed sometimes, the Xuanping Marquis Mansion manages it in an orderly manner.
Comparing the two, it is more likely to enter through the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion.
The focus is still on Zhengyuan Hou Mansion.
After returning from the side door, Mr. Xiang went to see Yu Ruiwen again.
Yu Ruiwen was still lying on the bed recuperating from his injuries, so he came in. After the two parties greeted each other, he sat down beside Mr. Xiang.
"The injury of Marquis Xuanping hasn't healed yet?" After he sat down, the servants brought him tea. He took a sip and then put it down and looked at Yu Ruiwen.
"The injury is too...serious." Yu Ruiwen said with a bitter smile.
Mr. Xiang thought that his complexion was okay, but his face seemed to be rounder than before. He coughed and said, "If you are not in good health, you really need to take good care of yourself."
"Originally I wanted to get up and do something, but I'm like this... I can't do anything now. It's better to lie down, so as not to miss the emperor's business." Yu Ruiwen cupped his hands in the direction of the palace and said with a sincere face.
Mr. Xiang felt that it looked even more fake. What could Marquis Xuanping do? As long as he didn't cause any trouble, the emperor would prefer him to just lie down like this. It would be good for everyone.
"Master Xiang, did you find anything at the side door?" Yu Ruiwen didn't think he was being fake. He raised his eyes and looked at Master Xiang and asked with concern, "Is it possible that the thieves from Zhengyuan Hou Mansion came to us secretly from their place?
Come to the house?"
"Unlikely." He shook his head to the adults.
"That's good. We have a house full of women, and my son is not in the house. I am like this now. What if something really happened? Fortunately, this time it is not in our house.
." Yu Ruiwen reached out and patted his chest, terrified.
Master Xiang was speechless for a while, so was he expressing his gratitude that something happened to the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion?
Even if it was from the bottom of my heart, it would still be a bit inappropriate to say it in front of myself.
He coughed softly and said, "The management of the house is very strict, and this kind of thing will not happen."
"That's right. Since the incident between the clan sister-in-law and Lanxuan County Lord in the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion has really become worse day by day, the management of the manor is also in chaos. Sometimes it is the Ning family, and sometimes it is the third-fang wife. Now I heard
Mrs. Yu is still in charge of it herself. She is so old, so it is surprising that she can manage it well."
Yu Ruiwen said disapprovingly, "When something happened about a thief, I didn't check my own house first, but I thought it might have come from another house. It would be really speechless. If it weren't for the fact that my brother was a hero back then,
How can I tolerate them?"
"The two families used to have a good relationship and open the same door, now?" Mr. Xiang asked tentatively.
"Now... there is nothing. In the past, the second lady Ning in their house was a eloquent person. Qian's ears were soft and she would listen to everything. Now that things have gotten to this point, how can our house do the same?
Things are going well with the Marquis of Zhengyuan. Something happened to their third daughter before, and I asked Jiaoer to leave it alone, but Jiaoer was so kind, and now..."
As Yu Ruiwen spoke, he became angry: "Look at the good things Mrs. Yu did. Her granddaughter almost died, but Jiaoer saved her. After that, she accompanied her granddaughter out, and Jiaoer almost lost her life. Now,
He actually brought a large group of people over to harass Jiaoer, forget it with no gratitude at all, and deliberately brought so many people, which shows that he doesn’t have any good intentions at first glance."
"You brought many people here? When? Who did you bring?" Xiang Daren's heart suddenly moved and he asked subconsciously.
"Just yesterday, Mrs. Yu came over and said that she was too old to go through the front door, so she had to go through the side door of the two houses. I almost had people blocking this door, but she was so old that she wanted to go through this side door.
I brought more than a dozen maids, mother-in-law, and so many people around my daughter. If it weren’t for the inconvenience of lying down now, I would have brought people over and beat them all back."
Yu Ruiwen said generously.
"Bringing more than a dozen maids, my mother-in-law is here?" Mr. Xiang was also surprised.
"Yes, there are a dozen, the actual number is sixteen. The maids in the mansion are very discerning and can see clearly." Yu Ruiwen said angrily, "That is to say, my mother is not here in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion.
, in terms of family etiquette, we are all her juniors, I really don’t know what to say.”
"Later...a fight broke out?" Xiang Xiang asked with a low eyebrow.
"It didn't start a fight. They probably came here to threaten Jiao'er." Yu Ruiwen said angrily, "With so many people coming here, who knows if there are some ill-intentioned people here. If they really hurt my daughter, I will fight for it."
Even if I have my life, I must fight them to the end."
"Mrs. Mrs. Yu must be old after all. She doesn't think well and is worried about her grandson." She reassured Mr. Xiang.
"I'm worried about my grandson, and I'm also worried about my daughter. Compared to her grandson, my daughter has a noble status." Yu Ruiwen said angrily.
If this is true, Yu Zhongyang's son is indeed inferior to the third girl of the Xuanping Hou Mansion, and besides, this one has to marry the prince of Qi.
"What Marquis Xuanping said is that I have to go to Zhengyuan Marquis' Mansion to investigate the matter, and I will come see you next time." Mr. Xiang stood up and said goodbye.
"Excuse me, sir. I think if we want to investigate, we have to investigate Mrs. Yu herself. If she brings so many servants here, she might not have good intentions." Yu Ruiwen straightened up slightly and cupped his hands towards the Lord.
Smiling and nodding to the Lord, he turned around and strode away to Zhengyuan Hou Mansion. He really had to check. He had checked many before, but never around Mrs. Yu...
When he left, Yu Xijiao's figure appeared from behind the screen... This chapter has been completed!
