After the rebirth of the wronged soft girl, the devil's crematorium
Chapter 25 Disguise
Seeing that Su Wan hadn't looked at him, Zheng Yanchen coughed softly. Su Wan slowly raised her head and looked at him calmly. Disappointed, he walked forward and said, "I know you've started to take charge of the family, so I came to see you."
Su Wan continued to lower her head, "I'm fine, no need to worry."
Zheng Yanchen frowned unhappily. He sat aside and said, "Today, Sui Xin was sentenced to thirty strokes of the cane and died because she could not bear the punishment. Sister-in-law is very sad. If you have time, you can go see her." Seeing that Su ignored him, Zheng Yanchen casually found a topic.
Su Wan held the pen in her hand and looked at Zheng Yanchen, sneering in her heart, "I understand my sister-in-law. When Liu Shang was bullied, my heart ached as well. But my sister-in-law is a strong-willed person. I guess she doesn't want others to see her weak side."
Seeing that Su Wan was still upset about the previous incident, Zheng Yanchen felt that Su Wan was too petty. Now that she was in charge of the household, she should act like a mistress. This was truly rude. "Now that you're in charge, you should act like a mistress. Don't dwell on trivial matters; it's not conducive to building your reputation."
"My husband, are you okay today?"
Su Wan's sudden words interrupted Zheng Yanchen's original train of thought. He replied, "I have a day off today. By the way, my mother asked me to tell you that the maids you selected a few days ago have been sent to Youchun Hall. My mother thinks it is indeed possible to send a few to my sister-in-law."
"That's great. Auntie is in need of help."
Seeing that Su Wan was still busy, Zheng Yanchen twisted his hands and said, "You are not planning to look at the account book all day today, are you? It's almost noon, how about taking you to Qianweilou to try some fresh food." Su Wan had never been there before, and Zheng Yanchen felt that it was time for her to see the world.
"You go ahead. I have too many things to do." Zheng Yanchen wanted to say something else, but then he heard Su Wan say, "My husband doesn't have much to do at home. It would be nice to meet friends for a drink and listen to some music."
Zheng Yanchen's expression suddenly changed upon hearing this. Not only was he rejected, but he was also being humiliated. He suddenly stood up and said, "Do you think I'm Xie Yin? You spend all day pursuing pleasure and have no ambition to make progress. Don't say such things to disgust me in the future."
The sudden anger made Su Wan pause. She wanted to say, this scum who is so good at pretending is not even as good as Xie Yin's hair, and yet he is so high and mighty. Xie Yin was right, she was really blind before. Su Wan forced a smile and said, "Then my husband should hurry up and read a book. Time waits for no one. How can someone as self-disciplined as you waste time with me? You should hurry up and cultivate your character."
"you!"
Zheng Yanchen had come to ease the relationship with Su Wan, but when he saw that Su Wan didn't appreciate it, his pride was naturally hurt. "Okay, okay! I'm kind enough to care about you, and you're just putting me down like this. If I ever set foot in this yard again, I'll—"
"Husband, please don't make any more vows. You've said this at least eight hundred times. A gentleman makes a promise, but I've never seen him fulfill it."
"you!"
Zheng Yanchen's head was buzzing with anger. This Su Wan was truly foolish. Even if she had a problem with him, could it be that she didn't even want to have children? You know, it's so tragic for a woman to be childless in a large mansion. Was she going to live a lonely life without any worries? That was ridiculous!
"Su Wan, it's time for you to grow up. Remember what you said today. There will always be a time when you will beg me for help." After saying that, he threw his sleeves and left.
After they saw everyone leave, Liuyan and Liushang quietly walked in, looking as if they wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Is everyone ready?"
"It's all found. Manager Liu taught me for a long time."
Su Wan smiled lightly, "Okay, we must ensure the whereabouts of the young master."
"Yes."
Su Wan was busy with chores in the backyard, unaware that Xie Yin had come to the Duke's Mansion again.
In the flower hall, Zheng Weilan and Xie Yin sat opposite each other.
Upon learning the tea merchant had vanished, Zheng Weilan knew it was Xie Yin's doing. While it might be fine if the group stopped causing trouble, they might still have leverage, so they had to be eliminated. If the Yu family learned of this, it would undoubtedly create a rift. The only solution now was to stabilize Xie Yin. However, it was obvious that Xie Yin was using this as leverage to achieve his own goals. With no other options, Zheng Weilan had to invite Xie Yin to his residence once more.
"Thank you for helping me out a few days ago." Zheng Weilan poured Xie Yin a cup of tea with a warm smile.
"That's not necessary. It's my duty."
"I also know that this matter was indeed not handled properly. I wanted to appease those merchants, but they disappeared without a trace. I wonder if Chief Xie has any news from them?"
Xie Yin looked bewildered. "Since this person is related to your Duke's Mansion, he would naturally come looking for you. That day, I asked someone to help them with their injuries and comfort them. I thought Lang Ling would send someone to coordinate with them, so I stopped following them. Why didn't you find them?"
Zheng Weilan looked at Xie Yin's expression and his cheek twitched slightly. His acting skills were truly superb.
"Indeed, we would appreciate the Chief's attention to this matter. After all, we also want to resolve this amicably."
Xie Yin waved his hand. "No problem. After all, I'm just a middleman, so I'll naturally take responsibility. As for this person, I'll just look for him for you. I don't think he'll go far. After all, they insist on your family giving an explanation."
"Yes Yes."
Xie Yin added, "I have something else to ask you today. I heard that there was an accident in Taohua Valley, and the local government is also investigating. The Lord attaches great importance to Mr. Su and also likes this paradise. But now, the life and death of the people inside are unknown. I wonder if the second young lady of your house has received any news? If so, I can report to the Lord." Xie Yin wanted to confirm whether Su Wan had lied to him.
Zheng Weilan paused slightly, obviously feeling a little embarrassed.
Xie Yin sighed, "Forget it, it seems I have to go to the Su family." Xie Yin stood up and said, "I apologize for disturbing you for a long time."
Seeing Xie Yin show no sign of lingering, Zheng Weilan hurriedly said, "Master, please stay." He took out a letter and said, "My daughter-in-law brought back a letter in which Brother Su said that although he was injured, he had settled down. Therefore, we dare not bother you any further."
Xie Yin took the letter, glanced at it, and returned it to Zheng Weilan. "That's easy to say. We're all doing errands for the emperor, so we won't say anything more." This meant that they were all doing errands for the emperor, so for Xie Yin, it wasn't a favor. Therefore, it didn't constitute a negotiation.
Zheng Weilan knew that Xie Yin was extremely cunning. If he delayed it any further, he would probably suffer more troubles.
Zheng Weilan didn't show it on his face, but he cursed inwardly. Once they found that group, this baby would cry. He smiled dryly and bowed, "I know Chief Xie is busy with government affairs, but if you can help me through this difficult time, I will repay you."
Xie Yin smiled, "Of course, of course. The Duke is a favorite of the Holy Lord, and I really need your help with something. I'll come to you another day."
