I was a housekeeper in ancient times

General Wang took the portrait and looked at it. He found that the person in the portrait looked very much like the late Pingrong Earl Lu Yuxuan. "Young Master Jiang, this..."

Jiang Zhaofang pretended not to understand and asked, "Why, have you seen this person?"

"Ah, no, no."

"Then I'll trouble General Wang to keep a close eye on it for me. Hey, whose carriage is this? Why is there no movement?"

Jiang Zhaofang was about to lift the curtain when he heard Xiao Qianluo's voice from inside the car, "Husband, husband, what's wrong with you? Coachman, quickly dispatch the car and go back to find the doctor!"

Wang Shoujiang opened it and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Qianluo said, "My husband has a heat stroke and cannot leave the city for the time being. He needs to go back to the city. The groom should go back quickly."

Jiang Zhaofang looked over and could not see Lu Yuxuan's face as it was covered by clothing. He took a few steps forward to take a look, but the coachman turned the carriage around first.

Only after returning to Cimu Temple did Lu Yuxuan dare to reveal his true face, with an extremely solemn expression.

Xiao Qianluo asked, "What happened to you? Didn't you say everything was arranged? How could something unexpected happen? Why did someone from Duke Qian's residence come to see you?"

"They already doubted whether I was really dead," Lu Yuxuan said.

"how come?"

"The person in that portrait looks somewhat like me."

Lu Yuxuan thought that he had faked his death perfectly without any flaws, and even his own family members had no suspicion. So why did the people from Duke Qian's mansion suddenly become suspicious and happen to come to block him at the city gate?

Xiao Qianluo said, "Could it be that someone leaked the news?"

He shook his head. Since faking his death, he had been moving very carefully without revealing any flaws and had not met any other people. How could he arouse suspicion?

He was at a loss for words when he suddenly remembered something. It wasn't that no one had seen him. Yu Muliu had seen him once in Cimu Temple that day! She even recognized him!

Could it be that Yu Muliu told the secret?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was true. He clenched his fists and murderous intent gradually appeared in his eyes.

He never cared about Yu Muyan, his wife who had been with him for several years, let alone Yu Muliu, his sister-in-law.

At night, after everyone had dinner, Lin Weiqiao, Mrs. Chen and Sister Huan sat under the grape trellis to enjoy the cool air.

A few fireflies turned into dots of green light to embellish the night. The night wind was silent, accompanied by the sound of whispers.

Hong Luo was busy catching fireflies, while Huan Jie'er was busy counting the bag of silver beads given by Lin Weiqiao.

Mrs. Chen fanned herself with a palm-leaf fan and said, "You are enjoying your life now. Without that son who comes to beg for money, you can relax."

Lin Weiqiao was eating the lily calming porridge, "My children are all debts, and I am just relieved for a while. If I don't give him money, he will say outside that I am cruel."

"Oh, I used to worry about my child because he was still young, thinking that everything would be fine once he grew up, but I didn't expect that he would still be a worry even when he grew up."

"Yes, a life of worrying all my life."

"I heard that the eldest lady of the Qi family and the county lord had another quarrel. Tsk tsk, they are going to drive Ban Qing to death."

"That's right. Since Ban Qing wants to return the indenture, it has nothing to do with the Qi family, including the child in her belly. Listen, what kind of talk is that."

In front of Huiyang County Lady and Qi Molou's mother and son, Gao said that she would never recognize the child in Banqing's belly. If the Qi family dared to recognize the child, she would divorce Qi Molou and return to her parents' home with her two sons!

This made Huiyang County Lady and her son so angry that they didn't know what to do. Gao was a strong-willed person and she would definitely do what she said, so how could she dare to speak for Banqing?

The Bo family can support Banqing, but they cannot support Banqing's children. After all, the children have no name, no status, and no background, and will be easily criticized in the future.

Lin Weiqiao thought that now it seemed that the only way for Banqing's child to have the surname Qi was to adopt him to Qi Motai.

And Qi Motai can only have the chance to have children for the rest of his life if he marries Yu Muyan. After all, Yu Muyan has enough children, both biological and adopted, so she doesn't care about these things.

In a blink of an eye, it was the next day. Lin Weiqiao quickly dealt with the affairs in the mansion and went to see the house with Manager Li. Huan Jie'er also followed.

She said to Sister Huan: "Why are you joining in the fun? Don't you need to serve the Fourth Young Lady?"

Huan Jie'er leaned on her shoulder and said, "Mother, the fourth young lady is in Qinzhai learning etiquette from Aunt Yan Wei. How can I serve her? You are going outside to look at the house, which is also a big deal. Shouldn't I come and take a look?"

"Come if you want, but don't tell anyone else, especially your brother."

"Don't worry, mom. I'm on your side."

Huan Jie'er thought that if her mother didn't give money to Shan Ge'er, she could save more money and jewelry for herself. In the past, her mother always left all the good things to Shan Ge'er and gave herself the rest.

Her mother was in a good mood recently and had given her many good things. She was not stupid enough to tell Shan Ge'er.

This house is located in Wuxiangli, where most ordinary people live. The houses are ordinary and not big. If you can have a small house, you can be considered a high-class family.

When we got to the house, we found that the entrance was narrow and the basic tables, chairs and benches were all available. There were two rooms on the east and west sides, the living room and the main room in the middle, and there was also a utility room, kitchen and woodshed. The house was small, but it had everything it needed.

After a quick look, Lin Weiqiao was quite satisfied, "Then this is it."

Manager Li said, "Okay, I bargained with them, saying that my mother was renting for a long time and we were acquaintances, so the price would be easy to negotiate."

Huan Jieer also said: "Mom, it's a lease. I thought you wanted to buy it."

Lin Weiqiao said: "Oh, you think too highly of your mother. How can I afford a house in Beijing? If I want to buy one, I need the money."

On the way back, he stopped by the martial arts gym to see Shan Jun and thanked Mo Jiu, as he had helped him a lot.

As long as Duke Qian's Mansion receives the letter, they will not let Lu Yuxuan leave easily, and will begin to suspect that Lu Yuxuan is faking his death.

When I arrived at the martial arts gym, I saw Shanjun pounding poles with his bare chest, a dark blue belt tied around his waist. He looked focused, with beads of sweat running down his cheeks to his chin and dripping onto the ground.

Huan Jie'er's eyes lit up, "Wow, cousin Tiger..."

Lin Weiqiao suppressed her infatuated urge to say, "Tiger."

When Shanjun saw them coming, he said, "Cousin, welcome cousin."

After the greetings, Shan Jun found Mo Jiu. When he learned that they had come to express their gratitude, Mo Jiu waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. It's just a small favor."

She said: "Your little help has really helped me a lot. I don't want to ask for help for free."

She knew that if she gave him money directly, Mo Jiu would definitely not accept it, so she bought him good wine, meat, and vegetables on the way here, as well as medicinal wine for bruises and sprains, which can be used by anyone who practices martial arts.

Compared to money, these worthless things are more acceptable to Mo Jiu.

Sure enough, when seeing these things, Mo Jiu just said a few polite words and accepted them, and even left some for the mother and daughter to eat together.

Then she found the tiger and asked him to continue to follow Xiao Qianluo's movements at Cimu Temple.
