Chapter 118 Where Did She Go?
"Fifth brother, please go to Shou'an Hall first! I'll be there later." As soon as Mr. Chen San stepped into the Chen Mansion, he turned around and strode towards Qinyuanju. He wanted to share this joy with her and tell her that because of her, he returned safely.
He searched around Qinyuanju but couldn't find the person he had been thinking about day and night.
Is he going to his mother's place?
Mr. Chen San strode out of Qinyuanju and met Nanny Feng who came to invite him.
"Third Master, it's really you who's back?" Nanny Feng cried with joy.
Just now, a servant came to report that the Third Master and the Fifth Master had returned, but no one in the Chen Mansion believed it.
It's not that they don't trust Master Chen San, it's just that the situation outside is too bad now. As long as Master Chen San shows up, he will be caught. How can he come back so openly?
"Mammy, it's me. I'm back." Mr. Chen San smiled.
"It's good that you're back." Nanny Feng couldn't wait to lead the way.
When they arrived at Shou'an Hall, they saw Master Chen Wu and Miss Yao walking hand in hand.
Mr. Chen: "..."
"Third brother, I'm afraid that mother will ask me and I won't be able to explain it clearly, so I went back to the yard first." Uncle Chen Wu replied with a dry laugh.
What he feared most was his mother crying, but as long as his third brother was there, he wouldn't be affected by the tears.
Besides, he had just been married for a short time and he missed his wife very much.
As they were talking, the old lady strode out and hit Master Chen Wu on the butt with her cane:
"Old Five, you have a wife and have forgotten your mother."
"Mother, Third Brother is the one who forgot about your thing, why don't you beat him up?"
The old lady justified the different treatment: "What's wrong with your third brother going to Yu'er first? That's as he should. Your third brother was inconvenienced, and you didn't even bother to report back. How dare you blame your third brother?" As she spoke, she was about to raise the cane in her hand again.
Uncle Chen Wu ran into Shou'an Hall.
Others came over upon hearing the noise, and they all laughed when they saw this heartwarming scene.
"Mother, I made you worry." Looking at his mother's thin face, Mr. Chen San felt very uncomfortable. He helped the old lady over the threshold and entered Shou'an Hall.
"I am your mother. If I don't worry about you, who should I worry about?" The old lady patted her son's hand.
Seeing this, Master Chen Wu, who had jumped far away, quickly stepped back, supported the old lady's other arm, and stretched out his hand, wanting the old lady to pat him as well.
The old lady slapped him.
Uncle Chen Wu protested: "Mother, please don't be so obvious about your partiality!" Although he said this, his hand that was supporting the master showed no intention of withdrawing at all.
After the old lady sat down, Master Chen San and Master Chen Wu knelt in front of Madam Chen and pleaded guilty:
"Mother, I am your unfilial son. I have returned to apologize to you."
"Okay, okay, as long as the people are back, everything will be over. Hurry up and tell everyone what happened."
"Yes Zhihe, what exactly happened? I heard people say this morning that people from the Zhang faction were planning to overthrow you at the morning court today. Do you want to take the opportunity to go to the palace and explain everything to the royal family?" Someone began to ask impatiently.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Chen family looked at him.
The person who spoke was a cousin from the Chen family branch. Seeing so many people looking at him, he hurriedly explained guiltily:
"I say this purely out of concern for Zhihe's safety."
Even though it has been explained, how many people believe it?
Mr. Chen San just glanced at him, then looked away, picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and began to talk about what had happened recently.
After listening to Mr. Chen San's speech, the old lady's eyes turned red. She slammed her fist on the table in anger and said with gritted teeth:
"The Feng family is too bullying,"
This is to cut off the roots of the Chen family and destroy the Chen family!
The old lady's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, and she asked:
"Third brother, has His Majesty said what to do with Feng Bu?"
"No." Uncle Chen shook his head.
Uncle Chen frowned: "What does the emperor mean? Feng Budu sent someone to assassinate the third brother, but he just put him in jail without convicting him on the spot and giving him a punishment. Doesn't he want to release Feng Budu and reinstate him?"
"It is very likely. Don't forget, Feng Bu's teacher is Zhang Lianci. The royal family did not immediately convict Feng Bu probably because they took Zhang Lianci into consideration." The old lady affirmed.
Hearing this, Uncle Chen turned to look at Uncle Chen San: "Uncle Chen, do you have any ideas? We can't let Feng Bu go."
Uncle Chen gave him a reassuring look and said confidently: "Don't worry, brother. He won't have a chance to get out."
"Third brother, if you have any problem, just tell me. I may not be able to help you with other things, but I can definitely help you with business matters."
After hearing their words, the old lady finally had a smile on her face, but there was no need to use a butcher knife to kill a chicken. Her son was going to do great things, and she couldn't let this matter leave a bad impression on the royal family.
The Chen family cannot yet be like the Zhang family and not care about the Tian family's thoughts.
She smiled and interrupted the conversation between the two brothers:
"I will go to the Queen Mother tomorrow to discuss this matter. You don't need to interfere for now."
Uncle Chen frowned: "Will the Queen Mother take care of it?" In the past, my mother often went to the palace to talk with the Queen Mother, but this is related to the previous dynasty, will the Queen Mother help?"
"Yes." The old lady said affirmatively.
Uncle Chen stopped asking questions. Over the years, as long as their mother said it would work, it would definitely work, and they brothers never doubted it.
Mr. Chen was worried about Liu Yu. Seeing that most of the others had left, he asked:
"Mother, where is Yu'er?"
"Pingnan Marquis Mansion."
Speaking of this, the old lady recounted what the Pingnan Marquisate had done to Liu Yu after Master Chen San left the capital.
Mr. Chen San just mentioned that Feng Bu's killers all had calm expressions, as gloomy as ink, and their eyes were filled with terrifying murderous intent.
"Third brother, go and bring Yu'er back now! That Qiu is very sinister, and I'm afraid she will do something bad to her." The old lady had a serious expression.
Previously, the Chen family was trapped and she couldn't protect Liu Yu. Now that the third brother is back, the Chen family's predicament has been resolved, and it's time to bring Liu Yu back.
"I understand, mother." Mr. Chen San immediately stood up and left Shou'an Hall.
After coming out, he told Feng Xiao who was waiting at the entrance of Shou'an Hall:
"Bring your people with you and follow me to the Pingnan Marquis's Mansion to ask for him."
……
Pingnan Marquis Mansion.
Liu Yu didn't know how long he had been locked up in this dark place. There were no windows, and he didn't know what the surrounding walls were made of. Not a single light came in.
Apart from someone regularly handing her food and water, no one else showed up, almost cutting off all her ways out, so that after so long, she still hadn't thought of any way to escape.
Liu Yu punched the wall. Was he really going to be trapped to death here?
At this moment, the door was opened with a creaky sound, and dazzling firelight shone into the room. Four maids walked in one after another from outside the door.
