Chapter 137 Du Family Banquet (1) Casting the Net
The old lady who was called "foxy" by Old Man Mu was burned to death.
Old Man Mu didn't sleep a wink all night.
Watch the sky gradually turn white, and watch the fire gradually die out.
He returned to the shop while there were not many people on the street.
There was only one patrolman there to make sure the fire didn't reignite.
The old man's body suddenly became hunched.
After stuffing a large piece of silver into the patrolman's pocket, he entered the ruins.
Keep searching.
There were only the charred bodies of three sheep in the dark room.
There was no sign of the old lady.
Old Man Mu did not give up and checked again. After confirming that there was nothing, his dead heart seemed to move again.
He knelt on the ground with trembling hands.
The Du family knew that there was no one in the dark room, only sheep, so they did not deal with the dark room, and might not even have sent anyone in.
Where did that woman go?
There was only a one in ten chance that she was taken away alone. An eighty percent chance that she was taken away by the people who caused trouble yesterday, and a ten percent chance that she ran away on her own.
At this moment, Old Man Mu hoped very much that the woman, who had always been docile, could make her own decision for once.
It's okay to run away.
Rather than getting caught.
He took off his coat and spread it on the ground, then put the things in the shop that had not been burned yet into it, including a few blackened porcelain bowls and teacups.
The pair of cloth shoes that happened not to be burned were made for him by the old lady.
After clearing away the dust on the ground, he saw several pieces of jewelry he bought for the old lady, all together.
He paused suddenly.
That stupid woman didn't leave on her own, otherwise she would have taken these things away.
That means you were caught by someone else.
A huge contradiction tore him apart.
Now that the other party has captured someone, they will definitely look for him. What should he do then?
Never betray your master.
But if he doesn't cooperate, she will die.
How to do?
He felt like he was being torn in two and returned to the Du Mansion in a daze.
I happened to meet Pan Cong who was about to go out.
"How's the shop? Is everything cleaned up?"
"My Lord, it has been cleaned up."
"I remember you had an old woman, is she dead?"
"...Well, dead, burned to ashes."
"That's good. You can take a few days off and continue your work in another city."
"I'll take my leave, little one."
For the first time, Old Man Mu did not answer 'yes'.
The boiling emotions in my heart suddenly calmed down when I heard Pan Congyun ask calmly, "Is that old woman dead?"
In their eyes, his life and that of the stupid woman were no different from those of ants.
Then, are all the efforts and hard work I have put in for the master's cause nothing in itself?
For the first time, he felt bored with this kind of life.
After Murong Yue had eaten and drunk her fill, she dragged Ah Hao to the theater to listen to half of "The Peony Pavilion".
Why did I only listen to half of it? Because when Murong Yue saw the part where Du Liniang was resurrected from the coffin, she didn't want to watch it anymore.
"Your Majesty, don't you like it?"
Ah Hao tilted his head and asked Murong Yue.
Murong Yue stuffed a plum from the south into her mouth and said, "It's not my cup of tea."
Ah Hao understood that Her Majesty liked to eat, and in Her Majesty's eyes, this play was like delicious food and not to her taste.
"When she was alive, she didn't enjoy herself. She always thought about men and even wanted to kill herself."
"No."
Hahahaha!
I didn't expect Your Majesty to think this way.
Li Xuanji was watching the old lady's confession from the side, and when he heard her words, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Ah Hao took out a set of clothes that was sent overnight from the capital by the Ministry of Rites.
The most expensive materials and the most popular patterns on the market.
In order to leave no loopholes in his identity, Murong Anle specially went to Jiang Feng's wife and borrowed a set of ruby head ornaments.
The headdresses of powerful and wealthy families are basically unique.
The workers won't do a second job.
That’s what makes it valuable.
As soon as this set of headdress came out, anyone who was interested would know that Murong Yue was very favored in the family of the Minister of Revenue.
"Master, let me change your clothes for you."
"Ah."
Murong Yue returned to her room excitedly and let Ah Hao dress her up.
Looking at the person in the mirror, Murong Yue couldn't help but sigh, "I am so beautiful."
I still remember when I first came here, I cherished my new head so much that I was afraid of bumping into it.
"The master has skin whiter than snow, beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and beautiful hair. She is the most beautiful person in the world."
"Okay, I'll reward you when I get back."
Murong Yue was happy.
From now on, she will be a beautiful zombie.
After getting everything ready and putting on the headgear, you will have the most stunning look ever.
Moreover, Murong Yue's walking and sitting postures were sometimes very casual, so Ah Hao removed the hairpins.
They are all head ornaments fixed on the bun.
Murong Yue's gentleness is matched by a hint of heroism, as well as the pride of a lady from an aristocratic family, which makes people unable to take their eyes off her.
As Ah Hao was a personal maid, she naturally had to change into appropriate clothes.
Qi Yuan was responsible for finding these clothes.
I went to a banquet today and Li Xuanji was sitting outside.
One is to prevent him from being recognized, and the other is to leave someone outside. What if the Du family goes crazy and wipes them out?
Qi Yuan has been using a human skin mask with an ordinary face recently.
If he could restrain his terrifying aura, he would become a personal bodyguard.
When Ah Hao came out after packing up, he was stunned.
Because the clothes Qi Yuan was wearing were very similar to his own.
They were both white and green coats, and if you looked closely, even the embroidery patterns were the same.
It’s just that one is women’s clothing, lively and elegant, and the other is men’s clothing, calm and capable.
When Qi Yuan saw her, his eyes lit up and the word "beautiful" came out of his mouth.
Ah Hao wanted to say something, but was stopped.
"Master is ready, let's go."
The driver was Li Chi, and there were two plainclothes imperial guards accompanying him.
As for how many people were hiding in the dark, Murong Yue had no idea. What she wanted to do at this banquet was to use her identity as a relative of the Minister of Revenue to find an excuse to take down the Du family and everyone attending the banquet.
There was a lot of noise and noise at the entrance of the Du family, with carriages and horses coming one after another.
"Loucheng Prefect Gao has arrived—"
"Lieutenant General Cao, the garrison commander, has arrived—"
"The owner of Hengyue Bank has arrived—"
"The head of the Qian family has arrived——"
"Miss Jiang from the Minister of Revenue has arrived—"
As reports came out one after another, outsiders envied the liveliness of the Du family's banquets, and even more so the power of the Du family.
Those who have had their posts rejected will secretly compare themselves with each other to see who has a more noble status and who is more worthy of making friends.
Mr. Gao, Lieutenant General Cao, and Hengyue Money House are all popular candidates.
But as soon as the name of Miss Jiang, the Minister of Revenue, came out, the scene became quiet.
The ladies were sitting in the garden, whispering to each other, waiting for the noble lady to enter.
The masters and young masters were sitting in the other side of the garden, wanting to make friends, but unfortunately they were women.
Gao Wenjie and Cao Gu looked at each other, worry in their eyes.
What on earth are the wives of the Minister of Revenue doing here?
There is a lake between the two gardens.
The drought in Luo City does not affect the Du family’s lake, which still has plenty of water.
There are also green lotus leaves and lotus buds floating on it.
In the pavilion in the middle of the lake, there is a woman who is vaguely visible playing the piano.
