"Don't panic, ma'am. Let's talk slowly." Yang Chong held Madam Hu's hand with his backhand, and his other arm had already been placed behind Madam Hu without anyone noticing.
I don’t know if it’s because Yan Lingji only likes to start fires and is not responsible for putting them out, or because Madam Hu looks easy to bully, but Yang Chongduo’s thoughts are wandering at this moment.
"Yes, yes, sir, please take your time." Mrs. Hu nodded repeatedly when she heard this. The movement of her neck drove her shoulders, vibrating her collarbone, causing ripples to form.
"Based on the clues provided by the madam, I have deduced and searched for the past half month and have roughly found the location of the madam's daughter." Yang Chong said.
"Is she okay?" Mrs. Hu couldn't help but tighten her grip on Yang Chong's hand.
"It's not bad. Although I don't have any relatives, I have a group of friends who are like sisters to me." Yang Chong said.
"Sister, friend?" Mrs. Hu asked in surprise.
"Of course, it's still not certain. Although the people I found match the clues provided by Madam, whether she is Madam's daughter or not still needs Madam to confirm it personally." Yang Chong said.
"Let's go now." Mrs. Hu was so excited that she pulled Yang Chong and prepared to go out.
"Don't worry, ma'am. The place where that person is is closed during the day." Yang Chong comforted the restless Mrs. Hu.
"The door is closed during the day, and there are sisters? The place you are talking about is..." A word flashed through Mrs. Hu's mind, that place.
"Yes, it is the place of romance, Zi Lan Xuan." Yang Chong said.
"Zi Lan Xuan?" Mrs. Hu was completely stunned when she heard the name. Her sad eyes were filled with tears. Zi Lan Xuan was the most famous place of entertainment in Korea. Even a wealthy lady like Mrs. Hu had heard of its name. Mrs. Hu could imagine what Zi Lan Xuan meant to a woman.
Mrs. Hu felt heartbroken when she thought of her daughter wandering in this place of pleasure and becoming a woman despised by others. All this was because of her, because of her incompetence and weakness back then.
When Mrs. Hu thought that her daughter's tragic fate was caused by herself, she could no longer control her tears and burst into tears.
Yang Chong looked at the crying Mrs. Hu quietly, stroking her back with his hand. The touch was even more delicate under the soft fabric, but now he was still very clear about what he was going to do.
Mrs. Hu, who became increasingly powerless while crying, became even weaker. She leaned towards Yang Chong subconsciously. Her tears seemed to have taken away too much of her strength, so that she fell into Yang Chong's arms without her knowing when.
"Don't worry, ma'am. The woman is very well protected by the boss of Zilanxuan. She is not what you imagine." Seeing that Madam Hu no longer had the strength to cry, Yang Chong explained.
"Really?" Mrs. Hu asked with a tearful face.
"Really? Madam will know when the time comes." Yang Chong affirmed.
"Can you tell me about her situation?" asked Mrs. Hu.
"Madam, why don't you wipe your face first?" Yang Chong pointed at Mrs. Hu's already blushing face.
"I..." Mrs. Hu then realized her current situation. She found herself lying in Yang Chong's arms. Her body had lost some elasticity due to the passing of time, but it had gained a softness that a young girl never had.
It was squeezed and rippled like a ball of water.
"Sorry, I lost my composure." Mrs. Hu quickly took a few steps back, putting some distance between herself and Yang Chong, with a blush on her crying face.
"Can you tell me about her situation?" Mrs. Hu took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped her face before asking Yang Chong.
"Her name is Nong Yu, and she is the zither player of Zi Lan Xuan..." As Yang Chong narrated, the image of Nong Yu slowly appeared in front of Mrs. Hu.
"Nongyu, Nongyu..." Mrs. Hu murmured, an image emerged in her mind, and she only hated that time passed too slowly.
"Madam, can you tell me your story?" Yang Chong asked.
"My story, my story is not very good." Mrs. Hu hesitated, but still told her story to Yang Chong. At this time, Yang Chong had become the most trustworthy person in Mrs. Hu's eyes.
A carefree young lady of Huoyu Villa had her fate changed because of the appearance of the Korean army. Because of the Korean army, she met Li Kai, the man she loved most in her life, and then they had their own daughter. But just when she was looking forward to a better life in the future, it changed because of the appearance of a group of bandits. Huoyu Villa was destroyed, and Li Kai's life or death was unknown. In the war, she was separated from her daughter. Later, she and her sister came to Xinzheng with the Korean army. One married Liu Yi, the left Sima, and the other entered the palace and became Concubine Hu of King Han An.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh, but am I really useless?" After telling her story, Mrs. Hu asked Yang Chong quietly.
"In troubled times, no one can truly control their own destiny. It's already very difficult to just stay alive," said Yang Chong.
Is Mrs. Hu strong? Of course not, but in this chaotic world, it is not easy for a man to survive, so who can ask anything of this woman?
"Hey, when are we going to Zilanxuan?" asked Mrs. Hu. Now she just wanted to see Nongyu, her daughter, as soon as possible.
"Madam, you can go whenever it is convenient for you," said Yang Chong.
"Is it okay tonight?" Mrs. Hu asked anxiously.
"Okay, I'll take my leave first. It's getting late. Madam can go out at night. I'll be waiting for you outside the house." Yang Chong said.
"Okay." Mrs. Hu nodded.
Not long after Yang Chong left, the owner of Zuo Sima Mansion also returned from the military camp. Liu Yi took off his armor and asked the housekeeper beside him, "Is there anything going on in the mansion today?"
"Master, there is nothing happening in the mansion today, but the matter with Madam..." The butler said with a hint of hesitation.
"What's wrong with Madam?" Liu Yi's face changed when he heard that.
"A young man came today, claiming to be Madam's nephew. She then talked to Madam in the piano room next to the pond and stayed there for an hour." said the housekeeper.
"Madam is from the land of Baiyue. How can she have any relatives, let alone nephews?" Liu Yi frowned when he heard this. Knowing that his wife's heart was not with him, he was very sensitive about the fact that Madam Hu had contact with strange men.
"You said they stayed in the piano room for an hour?" Liu Yi's doubt only lasted for a moment, and the next moment he realized a more serious problem.
"What kind of young man is that?" Liu Yi asked hurriedly, realizing the seriousness of the situation.
"He is about twenty years old, quite handsome and well-mannered." The butler swallowed, he could see that something was wrong with Liu Yi.
"Okay, I got it. Let's just leave it at that and pretend it never happened." Liu Yi said. He paid a lot of attention to the word 'handsome'. He knew that Mrs. Hu was a person who cared more about appearance. Li Kai was like that back then, and so was this... this so-called 'nephew' now.
"Yes."
After the housekeeper left, Liu Yi became more and more annoyed, and finally he decided to go and ask.
"He is really my nephew. Back then, several of my cousins married to the State of Chu. Later, due to the changes in Huoyu Villa, we lost contact. Now we are just getting in touch again." Faced with Liu Yi's questioning, Mrs. Hu, who was not very good at lying, could only give a reluctant explanation.
There was no way she would let Liu Yi know that she was looking for her daughter, and the best way to hide a lie was to tell another lie.
"So that's how it is. This is a good thing. Find a day and ask Madam to bring our nephew here. He is alone in Korea and we must take good care of him. Then I can consider him and if he is suitable, I can help him find a job." Liu Yi said calmly, but his hands tucked into his sleeves had unconsciously clenched into fists.
Madam, Madam, you are really not suitable for lying! Why is it that after so many years, your heart is still so far away from me? Back then it was for Li Kai, and now it is for that nephew. How can I not know whether you have a nephew? After putting out the fire in Yushan Villa in person, I can be afraid of cutting the grass without removing the root. Liu Yi thought about it and gritted his teeth.
At this time, Liu Yi was completely certain that his wife was lying to him, and why did she lie to him? Liu Yi could already guess.
"Then I would like to thank my husband very much." Mrs. Hu was only thinking about dealing with Liu Yi. Fortunately, she was going to Zi Lan Xuan to see her daughter Nong Yu tonight, so she added a bit of flattery in her words.
But she didn't know that her gentleness and caution had turned into something else when it came to Liu Yi.
"Okay, you and I are husband and wife, so there is no need to be so formal. I'm going to the military camp tonight, so you can just rest by yourself, madam." Liu Yi said.
At this moment, Liu Yi had a premonition: I was cheated.
Chapter 83 The Third Inheritance: Fuxi Divine Heavenly Sound
In the darkness of night, Mrs. Hu packed up and hurried to the side door of the backyard with her veil on. She carefully observed her surroundings and saw that no one noticed. Then she pushed open the small door. What she did tonight must not be known by outsiders, especially Liu Yi. Fortunately, Liu Yi had already gone to the military camp. Her original intention was to go to the theater under the pretext of listening to a play, and then take a detour to Zilanxuan. But Liu Yi went to the military camp, which saved her a lot of trouble.
But Mrs. Hu, who had no experience in this area, was still a little panicked. However, she was going to see her daughter tonight, and her obsession with her daughter was enough to make her overcome the timidity in her heart.
Mrs. Hu came out and looked around in panic. Seeing that there was no one around, she felt relieved. But where was her husband?
Thinking of the appointment during the day, Mrs. Hu couldn't help but feel a little anxious: Didn't he come? Or was he delayed because of something?
Mrs. Hu mustered up her courage and tried to walk towards the street. At this moment, a figure appeared from the darkness behind her, and then a hand patted her on the shoulder. Mrs. Hu, who was already feeling guilty, was startled and was about to scream, but fortunately the hand patting her shoulder covered her mouth in time.
"Madam, don't panic. It's me." Yang Chong came up behind Madam Hu and whispered in her ear. Madam Hu was interesting. She seemed to have a big heart, but she was actually very timid.
"Wuwu." Mrs. Hu, who was struggling, found herself held in Yang Chong's arms with one arm. Yang Chong put one arm in front of her body. As if he was afraid that she would struggle, the arm was tied very tightly, leaving a deep dent in front of his body.
The breath from Yang Chong filled her air, and she realized that the posture between her and Yang Chong was really... Realizing this, Mrs. Hu nodded repeatedly after hearing Yang Chong's words, fearing that Yang Chong would do something even more excessive because he misunderstood her meaning.
Seeing this, Yang Chong let go of Mrs. Hu, as he thought that Mrs. Hu was so timid.
"Let's go to Zilanxuan now." Mrs. Hu, who regained her freedom, let out a long sigh. She felt her heart pounding. She didn't feel anything just now because of her nervousness, but now she just felt a little pain in her chest. The moment she turned her back to Yang Chong, she rubbed it quietly. Yang Chong had been strangling her too tightly just now.
"Madam, follow me." Yang Chong said, pretending not to notice Madam Hu's little action.
The two walked one after the other towards the street ahead, hailed a carriage on a street, and took the carriage to Zilanxuan.
Amid the sound of wheels, the brightly lit and extravagant Zi Lan Xuan appeared in the sight of Yang Chong and Mrs. Hu.
Mrs. Hu, who was sitting opposite Yang Chong in the carriage, lowered her head and looked at her invisible feet. She had a feeling that Yang Chong's gaze seemed to be always on her, on her long hair, on her shoulders, and most of all on her heart that seemed to never calm down.
Mrs. Hu, whose heart was filled with tension and anticipation, tried her best to calm herself down. At this moment, Yang Chong's voice rang out in the carriage: "Madam, Zi Lan Xuan has arrived."
"Well, okay." Mrs. Hu raised her head suddenly when she heard that. Her mind calmed down, but another part of her body trembled, causing Yang Chong to look at her sideways.
After Yang Chong walked out of the carriage, he held Mrs. Hu's arm with one hand, and with the other hand he grasped Mrs. Hu's waist and lifted her down.
"Is this Zilanxuan?" The down-to-earth Mrs. Hu brushed a strand of hair on her forehead behind her ear. At this moment, she had forgotten the embarrassment. All she had was nervousness, uneasiness and anticipation about meeting her daughter.
"Yes, ma'am, please follow me." Yang Chong took Madam Hu's hand and walked towards the main entrance of Zilanxuan.
With people coming and going around, Mrs. Hu could only let Yang Chong hold her hand. Here, she also needed to find someone to rely on.
When the two of them walked into Zilanxuan, a figure walked out from the darkness in the distance. Under the light, an uncertain face appeared, rough and ferocious. It was Liu Yi, the left Sima of Han.
After discovering that Mrs. Hu was lying, Liu Yi realized that something was wrong. Vaguely realizing that he might have been cheated on, he deliberately told Mrs. Hu that he would go to the military camp tonight just to see what Mrs. Hu would do.
As he expected, just as it got dark that day, his wife sneaked out of the mansion and left with a young man.
When Liu Yi thought that the young man was the so-called nephew of his wife, he couldn't help but feel the urge to kill. How could he not know whether Mrs. Hu had a nephew or not? It was he who planned the extermination of the entire Huoyu Villa. In the entire Huoyu Villa, no one survived except Mrs. Hu and her sisters.
Madam, you disappoint me so much. Have I been bad to you all these years? Why did you lie to me? Liu Yi's eyes were full of murderous light. At this moment, he felt that his wife had crossed that line and he had the urge to kill.
With murderous intent, Liu Yi walked straight towards Zilanxuan. As the saying goes, to catch an adulterer, one must pretend to be a pair; to catch a thief, one must seize the stolen goods. Liu Yi wanted to see what the bitch would have to say then.
"Master Liu, you are here." As a frequent visitor of Zi Lan Xuan, Liu Yi was greeted by a maid with a professional smile as soon as he entered Zi Lan Xuan.
But this time, Liu Yi surprised the maid. In the past, when Liu Yi came to Zilanxuan, he would directly embrace the welcoming maid when he met her, and his hand would be very restless, and then he would go straight to the third floor. But this time, Liu Yi did not show any lustful look, and his face was just gloomy.
"Which box did the man and woman who just came in go to?" Liu Yi asked.
"Master Liu, this is the guest's privacy. We are not in a position to..."
Hong Yu wanted to deal with it out of the professional ethics of Zi Lan Xuan, but Liu Yi didn't give him a chance. Liu Yi grabbed Hong Yu and said coldly: "Take me to the next door to them. Don't make excuses for me, otherwise I will mobilize troops to seal off your Zi Lan Xuan tomorrow."
"Lord Liu, please calm down. I'll take you there right away." Hong Yu's face changed when she heard that. She knew that Liu Yi today was not someone she could handle. She could only meet Liu Yi's request first and take him to the box next to the two guests. The next things could only be handled by Sister Zi Nu and the others.
Led by Hong Yu, Liu Yi quickly arrived at a private room on the third floor.
"Sir Liu, the guest just now is next door, do you see?" Hong Yu asked Liu Yi tentatively. Liu Yi was too abnormal today, so she could only be more careful.
"Don't talk too much. Don't let anyone in without my permission." Liu Yi said, pushed open the door and walked in.
Seeing the closed door, the smile on Hong Yu's face disappeared, replaced by a look of worry. Was it a bad luck today? How did she meet such an abnormal Liu Yi? Coming to Zi Lan Xuan didn't seem like she was looking for fun, but rather like catching an adulterer.
"The world is so big, there are really all kinds of strange things." Hong Yu shook her head and decided to talk to Sister Zi Nu first, to prevent Liu Yi from doing anything that would affect Zi Lan Xuan's business.
Liu Yi walked into the room, suppressing the anger in his heart. Although he suspected that his wife came to Zilanxuan to have a secret meeting with that boy, he could not do anything to Madam Hu without solid evidence. On the one hand, he loved Madam Hu very much and he generally did not want to get angry with her. On the other hand, he was able to maintain his current status by relying on Madam Hu's relationship with the palace.
Liu Yi paced back and forth in the room, sulking alone. He was only separated from Madam Hu by a wall, but he couldn't go in directly. Various unbearable images kept appearing in his mind, but...
While Liu Yi was thinking about how to catch the adulterer, Hong Yu had already arrived at Zi Nu's room on the top floor.
"Is there anything special about the room next to Liu Yi?" When Zi Nu heard Hong Yu's story, her two purple willow-shaped eyebrows unconsciously frowned together.
"The guests there are a little special, a man and a woman." Hong Yu replied.
"A man and a woman?" Zi Nu was stunned when she heard that. Zi Lan Xuan had many guests every day, whether they were princes and nobles or heroes from the martial arts world. Zi Nu had seen too many types of people, but when it came to a man and a woman coming to Zi Lan Xuan, this was the first time she had seen it.
"Other than that, is there anything special about them?" Zi Nu asked.
"The man is quite handsome, and the woman is wearing a veil, so her appearance cannot be seen clearly. But judging from her figure and clothes, she should be from a wealthy family, and she is also a beauty." Hong Yu thought for a moment and replied.
"This?" Zi Nu twitched her eyebrows. The situation was a little complicated. After thinking about it, Zi Nu could only think of one possibility.
"Are there any other movements from that man and woman?" Zi Nu asked.
"They asked Sister Nongyu to play the piano, and they should be listening to Sister Nongyu playing the piano in the room now." Hong Yu replied.
"Nongyu, playing the piano? That's not right!" Hongyu's answer made Zinu deny the only possibility that she could think of. It was outrageous enough to have an affair in a place like Zilanxuan, but to have an affair with a musician was outrageous on top of outrageousness. Who could do such a thing?
"Sister, what should we do? Liu Yi seems to have bad intentions." Hong Yu asked carefully. She knew very well that it was not easy for her sister Zi Nu to run a Zi Lan Xuan, but at this moment only sister Zi Nu could answer the question.
"Let's wait and see." Zi Nu thought about it and decided to do nothing until she understood the situation clearly.
At this time, in the room next to Liu Yi, Nongyu, wearing a dress with bare sleeves and gold embellishment, was playing the piano attentively. The beautiful piano sound echoed in the room, adding a bit of gentle and melodious sound to the quiet room.
Behind a screen, Mrs. Hu stared at Nongyu through the screen. She could see Nongyu's gentle and round face through the gap in the screen. Perhaps because of Yang Chong's narration, Mrs. Hu felt that Nongyu was her daughter, definitely her daughter.
"She is my daughter, she must be my daughter." Mrs. Hu grabbed Yang Chong's hand and said in a voice that suppressed her excitement.
"Madam, don't get excited." Yang Chong stroked Mrs. Hu's back and reminded her.
"I'm not excited, I'm not excited, but she must be my daughter, I told her so." Mrs. Hu pressed her chest, leaving only a deep dent in the dark, and the heart inside was beating violently, which was the throbbing that came from the blood connection.
"Madam, do you have anything that can prove that Nanyue is your daughter?" Yang Chong asked.
"It, it can prove that she is my daughter. There were two of them back then. When I was separated from my daughter, I put one in her cradle. She must have one too." Mrs. Hu said.
"I will go talk to Miss Nongyu later to confirm it first." Yang Chong said.
