The real daughter is really not a human being

Chapter 52 Where are the people?

Several people were stuffed into the carriage and traveled in fear all the way.

They were kicked out of the carriage only when they reached a secluded and spacious alley.

Xi Que got out of the carriage with a cold face and ordered the servant beside him, "Lock them in the woodshed and interrogate them when Madam comes back."

A gust of wind blew, and the lantern hanging on the door swayed. On the lantern was clearly written the word "Wei".

After everyone entered, the side door of the Wei family slammed shut.

Yaoguang brought Sun and moved directly into the courtyard they had just chosen.

The old woman didn't expect that Yaoguang and her friend would bring all their luggage with them after returning, so she welcomed them in warmly.

I even chatted with them about some family matters, such as where it was convenient to buy vegetables, and where chicken, duck, fish and meat were cheaper.

He was not in a hurry to collect the rent, saying that the scholar next door had not returned yet, and it would not be too late to collect it when he came back.

After seeing off the enthusiastic old woman, Sun closed the door, feeling somewhat unhappy.

Apart from the panic when being driven out by Wang, there was also the discomfort when living in this courtyard.

The woman was so warm and not even in a hurry to collect the money. I always felt something was odd.

Sun believed that there was no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and there must be something evil in this house.

She just asked Sun to look for another house. Not only was she afraid of not being able to find a suitable one, she was even more afraid of meeting a master like Wang, who would not only steal her things but also drive her out.

Yaoguang stood beside Sun and could clearly sense her anxiety, so she took the initiative to say, "Aunt, take a rest. I'll go clean up the house."

After saying this, Yaoguang went to the house and moved a stool out, asked Sun to sit in the yard, and began to pack up her things.

Yaoguang moved quickly, cleaning up from the yard to outside the yard. Not only did she remove the weeds along the wall, she also swept away all the spider webs in the house.

As for the wobbly tables, chairs and benches that had been used in the house for many years, Yaoguang repaired them and covered them with bedding for the two of them.

There was only one set of bedding, and Yaoguang only made one bed.

After we are settled, I will go buy a new bed with my aunt so that we can sleep separately.

As for the plan of making grilled fish, Yaoguang did not miss it.

It was still a normal morning. Before Sun got up, Yaoguang was standing by the river catching fish, then she prepared the fish and put them on the tiles to bake.

The newly rented yard was big and there was no one else there, so Yaoguang caught more fish and increased the amount.

So much so that the neighbors on both sides smelled an extremely strange and fragrant odor while they were still asleep, and they all opened their eyes.

"What's that smell? It smells so good?" A couple was lying in bed, and the husband suddenly opened his eyes and exclaimed.

"It smells like meat?" the wife added.

"Whose meat can be cooked so deliciously?"

Both of them were from the capital. Although they were not rich, they had eaten all kinds of delicacies from ordinary people, and had never smelled such a delicious smell.

"Who's cooking meat so early in the morning?"

This……

The couple was really stumped. The place where they lived was somewhat shady, and the house was so fragrant inside and outside before dawn. It was inevitable that the fragrance was a bit too much.

Fortunately, the two did not think too much about it and just thought that they were so greedy because they hadn't eaten meat for a long time.

As the day gradually brightened, Yaoguang's fish fillets were all cooked and she was just waiting to sell them around noon so that they could sell faster.

The fish selling business seems to require little investment but offer big returns, mainly because she can catch fish directly from the river. However, the fish will run out sooner or later, and if she had to spend money to buy them, she would not be able to make as much money.

So Yaoguang also plans to develop some other businesses.

The fish made by Yaoguang tastes delicious. Everyone who has eaten it can’t forget it. Some gourmets even introduce their friends to buy fish from it.

The news spread throughout the streets in no time, and some servants in some mansions even waited there, waiting for Yaoguang to come, and then paid money to buy several kilograms of the food.

The weather was getting hot, and there were no tasty dishes. This fish fillet had few bones and could be eaten directly, and it tasted great, so it was sold out in no time.

There were also people who arrived late asking when Yao Guangming would come that day.

Yaoguang reported an approximate time, then led Sun to avoid several people who were following them and returned to the yard where they lived.

Yaoguang didn't tell Sun that someone was following them, for fear that she would worry.

Perhaps in Yaoguang's view, this was not a big deal and she could deal with those people by herself.

Yaoguang said, "Aunt, these fish are selling fast. I can go and sell them tomorrow. You can wait for me at home."

Sun thought about her own walking speed, and then thought about Yaoguang. She realized that every time she carried the fish over, they were all sold out, which seemed like a burden to her granddaughter. Sun sighed and agreed.

Zhu Luo, on the other side, went back and waited for two days, and was very greedy for Yaoguang's cooking skills. After struggling for a while, he finally made up his mind and carried large and small bags of food and snacks to visit Sun and Yaoguang in the yard.

Zhu Luo knocked for a long time before he finally opened the courtyard door.

He didn't see the food he had been thinking about day and night...ah, no, it was the person he had been thinking about day and night. Instead, he saw a man who looked like a servant looking at him coldly.

"You've come to the wrong place. The person you're talking about is not here." said the servant.

Zhu Luo was sure that he had not walked into the wrong courtyard. He had been here several times before and asked, "Are Granny Sun and Miss Yaoguang really not here? I sent them back a few days ago."

Seeing that Zhu Luo was dressed respectably, the servant said directly, "My master is Lord Wei, the doctor of the Du Shui Division! This is Lord Wei's courtyard, but the old woman and Yaoguang you mentioned have never lived there."

The Langzhong of the Dushuisi was a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Works, an important position in the court.

Seeing that the servant had directly announced his family's address, Zhu Luo did not doubt it. No one dared to pretend to be a servant of the Dushuisi family, and there was no need to do so.

But Zhu Luo was absolutely certain that Sun lived in this courtyard...

Considering that the two had just arrived in Beijing a few days ago, the imperial officials were instantly implicated.

Zhu Luo was puzzled for a while, and then a lot of worries surged in his heart. Could it be that he was arrested and locked up by the Lord of the Waterworks Department?

That’s not right. What’s so good about catching these two, old and young?

Zhu Luo suddenly recalled what happened that day, and cold sweat broke out on his back. When he calmed down, he suddenly realized that if it was really an important case in the court, it would not be the turn of the Du Shuisi people to intervene.

So he spent some money and asked around.

The news they got was incredible. It said that the clerk in this shop stole something and angered the wandering knight in the martial arts world, who wrote a few words on the door.

Soon the news spread to the neighbors, and the owner of the shop took down the door bars and closed the shop.
