Quick Wear: True and False Life

Recently, Wang Jinghao often accompanied Gu Nan to teahouses to drink tea and listen to operas. They talked about recent events in the capital. Gu Nan liked to listen to the following the most: how the former third prince failed in the battle and was exiled to a remote mountain area to be a vassal king; how the former Shangshu Mansion fell into decline and was renamed Lu Mansion, and there was a human drama about the second son and his two wives and concubines in the mansion.

The few people that Gu Nan wanted to help the original owner to avenge were all living according to the trajectory set by them. They heard from the storyteller that when Lu Yunhai's concubine Yu Xiaolan was taken into the mansion, Lu Yunhai was newly married, and he married his long-admired fiancée. Not only did she destroy their marriage, but she also made a very ugly scene.

The newlyweds had a good relationship and hated the saboteur Yu Xiaolan so much that they turned a blind eye to her suppression.

Yu Xiaolan had looked for the first lady before, but she hated her for bringing shame upon herself and making her lose face. She also had a history of repaying kindness with enmity, so she simply refused to see her.

Later, for some unknown reason, Yu Xiaolan's appearance changed drastically. As she grew older, it became more and more distorted. The proportions of her facial features were completely lost, which made people feel disgusted when they saw her.

Suddenly one day, Lu Yunhai and his wife had a fight during their nightlife, and Lu Yunhai's face was scratched.

According to the servants who were on duty at the time, when the two were doing their work, they suddenly fainted and then woke up. The princess slapped her husband in the face without thinking, and shouted: "Lecher, rapist...", and scratched and clawed him.

Lu Yunhai didn't react at first, but when he finally reacted he pushed the princess away. The princess lost her balance and bumped into the corner of the table, leaving a big cut on her. It was said that she was disfigured.

After the princess was injured, she went back to her parents' home to seek help, but her parents only gave her a box of ointment and sent her back to the Shangshu Mansion. It was from then on that the story of the true and false princess began to spread.

From then on, Lu Yunhai and the fake princess would stage martial arts competitions from time to time, which directly caused the relationship between the couple to fall to the bottom.

This gave Yu Xiaolan an opportunity to have sex with Lu Yunhai, hoping to disfigure her so she could have a child. However, Lu Yunhai felt unbearable pain when he saw her near him.

Lu Yunhai tried his best to dodge, which completely hurt Yu Xiaolan. Yu Xiaolan got furious and slapped him several times. Not satisfied yet, she kicked him too. It was not until Lu Yunhai felt the broken porcelain pieces and hit her neck hard that Yu Xiaolan was scared awake.

When the servants heard Yu Xiaolan's scream and rushed over, both of them were seriously injured, but fortunately they were rescued.

Gu Nan became addicted to listening to the stories and was quite satisfied with the endings of the few people. The mission was also accomplished.

"Chu Chu is so happy, it seems that he is quite satisfied with the outcome of the others."

"Of course, nothing is going on, and I feel relaxed."

"Chuchu, are you still listening?"

"I'm going to ask you how your apprentice's background is going? Do you have any clues?"

"Almost, but there is one doubt that I don't understand."

Wang Jinghao then told him everything he had found out.

Basically, for some reason, the relationship between Baozi's parents took a sharp turn for the worse a few years ago. Baozi's mother was not a so-called stepmother, but she didn't like either brother.

The reason for throwing Baozi away was most likely that Baozi caught his mother and cousin conspiring, and he was too young to understand. The two of them felt guilty and hired someone to drug Baozi and throw him out of town while her husband and eldest son were out.

"I think Baozi's parents have big problems. Why is there so much hatred for no reason?"

"What Chuchu said is right. Baozi's mother is even weirder. She doesn't love these two brothers and instead only wants to have more children."

"Why don't we find a time to ask Baozi's father out for a talk."

"Okay, the sun isn't too bright right now, let's go downstairs and take a walk. It's been a while since I've taken you for a good walk."

Wang Jinghao and Gu Nan went down the teahouse together and walked along the street. There were many small stalls not far from this street, selling all kinds of things. Gu Nan and Wang Jinghao looked at each stall and picked out some that they liked and bought them back for fun.

"Madam, take a look and see if there are any hairpins you like." A middle-aged man with a simple and honest look was standing behind the stall. When he saw Gu Nan coming, he started to sell his products.

"The wooden hairpins here are pretty good. Jingran, help me pick out a few that are more charming." Gu Nan rarely saw hairpins with good carvings, so he wanted to collect some and put them in his space for emergency use.

"This hairpin with a blessing pattern is very suitable for Chuchu. I will put it on you."

Wang Jinghao immediately fell in love with a red sandalwood hairpin with a blessing pattern on it. He picked it up and stroked Gu Nan's bun, then inserted it in a conspicuous position and adjusted it carefully until he was satisfied.

"It suits my wife very well. I will pick a few more for her as a backup."

"Master, I have some good wood carvings. I'll show them to you right away." Seeing that the master was very generous, the middle-aged man recommended them without reservation.

He took out five or six boxes at once and opened them one by one for Gu Nan and Wang Jinghao to appraise.

It was indeed good material and good carving, with fine and exquisite patterns, so I bought it right away. Although the wood on the stall was not the best, the carving was not bad, so I picked a few that I liked.

"Big Brother Wraps It Up"

"Master, it's packed."

"The first seven pieces are worth 14 taels, and the last seven pieces are worth 4 taels, for a total of 18 taels of silver."

Changfeng quickly took the box, paid the money, and followed Zhuxiang and the others.

"The velvet and beaded flowers over there are pretty good too. Let's go pick some."

"Take it slow at first, don't rush"

"understood"

"Zhuxiang, Lanxiang, come and take a look, is there anything you like?"

Zhuxiang and Lanxiang were already used to their master's casualness, so they didn't hesitate to choose two or three headpieces they liked.

After walking through the streets, Gu Nan was hungry, so he picked a food stall and asked everyone to sit down and eat dumplings, which tasted pretty good. Wang Jinghao and Changfeng had big appetites and were not full after one portion, so they ordered another.

A few days later, Wang Jinghao said that he had made an appointment with Baozi's father, Young Master Zhang, to have a drink at Tianxianglou. I don't know how Wang Jinghao got in touch with him, but people with good relationships can go to the restaurant to drink.

Later I found out that I was a distant relative of Uncle Quan, so we found a suitable topic to talk about. We had similar personalities and got along well, so we took the opportunity to make an appointment.

"Master Wang, Madam, Young Master, please come in." Master Zhang's entourage saw Wang Jinghao bringing his wife and a boy to the appointment, and hurriedly opened the door of the box and invited them in. It was obvious that they had received instructions early in the morning.

Gu Nan and Wang Jinghao brought Baozi in, leaving Changfeng and Zhuxiang waiting outside.

"Changfeng, was that Master Wang's apprentice just now? Why did he look so familiar to me? I can't remember where he is right now."

"Maybe you don't remember well." Changfeng glanced at Ping'an and replied, but in his heart he thought, isn't it a familiar face! Your little master!

Ping An rolled his eyes at Chang Feng, knowing that he was teasing him on purpose. Didn't he see the girl next to Chang Feng laughing? So he asked tentatively: "Miss, do you know something?"

"Your master is lost outside. You definitely can't find him. Maybe you are face-blind." Zhuxiang replied seriously, and then smiled secretly.

Ping An immediately realized that the underlying meaning was that he looked like the master! Could it be that the boy just now was his young master? The young master had been missing for more than three years. The master and the eldest young master would be very happy if they knew about it.
