907, temptation
Zheng Wanying felt glad for Zheng Wanxia, but she didn't know that even if she was promoted by the third son of Yue, Zheng Wanxia's status was in danger. Zheng Wanying was too lucky.
After a while, the crowd gradually dissipated, the carriage continued to move forward, and finally returned smoothly. However, Zheng Wanying did not follow Chen and Zheng Zhiwen back to the Xifu, but followed Xu Shu to the Haitang Pavilion.
Zheng Wanying waited for a while in the Haitang Pavilion. When she heard the footsteps outside, she couldn't help but stretched her neck and looked at it.
Xu Shu smiled and said, "It's been a matter of waiting. If you don't come again, it's dark and you can't go back!"
Zheng Wanying smiled embarrassedly, "So Sister Jiu saw me sending my maid out! I was also curious and wanted to know how to solve the problem. I only saw something like selling my body to bury my father in the play. I actually encountered it today. How could I miss it? But my mother always thought that this kind of thing was lucrative and not worth mentioning. But I was really curious, so I asked the maid to inquire, but I was afraid that my mother would know that I was inquiring about it, so she followed Sister Jiu and borrowed Sister Jiu's place to use it!"
Seeing Xu Shu keep looking at her and laughing, Zheng Wanying whispered, "I care about Sister Eight, after all, it's a family..." The maid sent out happened to be back, Zheng Wanying hurriedly asked, "How is it? Have you found out?"
The maid nodded, "I've found out!"
"How was the matter finally resolved? Who bought the woman who sold her body to bury her father?"
The maid said, "I bought it by Mr. Yue! Mr. Yue and Mr. Liang bid each other for price, and those with the highest price will get it! But the Liang family has fallen into ruin, so there is no extra money to spend for Mr. Liang to spend it. Mr. Yue only raised the price to one hundred taels. Mr. Liang could not resist it and left in shame. Mr. Yue also led the woman back!"
"Just bring it back like this?" Zheng Wanying was dumbfounded, "Are you not afraid of the elders in the family being dissatisfied?"
The maid scratched her head, but she didn't know about it.
Xu Shu said, "Before, because of the confused marriage between our two families, the Yue family felt ashamed of the third son of Yue and was very tolerant of the third son of Yue. Even if the third son of Yue did something extraordinary, as long as it did not affect the reputation of the family, the Yue family would turn a blind eye!"
Zheng Wanying sighed and suddenly said, "Sister Eighth Sister should be about to give birth!"
Xu Shu calculated that Zheng Wanxia was diagnosed with pregnancy in the first month of the year. Now it has been almost seven months and is indeed about to give birth.
"When she is born, the Yue family will send someone to report the good news!" Now that the Zheng family is still stable, the Yue family naturally wants to look up to Zheng Wanxia. When Zheng Wanxia is born, the Yue family is of course the first to notify the Zheng family!
"Yes!" Zheng Wanying saw that it was getting late, so she hurriedly got up and left. "Then I will go back first. Sister Jiu stayed. I'm familiar with the things I often come here, so I don't need to send them!"
Xu Shu nodded and only sent Zheng Wanying to the door. Just as she was about to go back to the house, she heard someone saying, "Nine...Nine Sister!"
Xu Shu kept a polite smile and returned the gift, "Why is Brother Zhiwen coming?"
"I... I'll pick up my sister. My mother saw that it was already very late and my sister was not back yet. She was worried, so she asked me to pick her up!"
Xu Shu said, "Brother Zhiwen is a step late, and sister Wanying has already returned. Didn't you meet Brother Zhiwen on the way?"
"No!" Zheng Zhiwen shook his head and murmured, "So my sister has left!"
Xu Shu's eyes flashed. There was only one road from Haitang Pavilion to Xifu that was closest, and the other roads had to be far away. If Zheng Zhiwen really came to pick up Zheng Wanying at Chen's instructions, it would be so late that it would be impossible to take a detour, so Zheng Zhiwen was lying?
But Zheng Zhiwen should have really not met Zheng Wanying, otherwise she would have been pulled back by Zheng Wanying and would not have appeared in front of her at all. In this way, Zheng Zhiwen either came by a detour or had come a long time ago, waiting aside and waiting for Zheng Wanying to leave before showing up!
What did Zheng Zhiwen want to do this? Is it because he heard his secret and wanted to threaten him? But Zheng Zhiwen's cowardice does not seem to be disguised. Will a cowardly and dull person do blackmail?
Xu Shu frowned and let go, "Brother Zhiwen, go and chase, maybe you can catch up!"
"Oh, okay!" Zheng Zhiwen nodded and turned around and walked away. After taking two steps, he turned around and took something out of his sleeve. "This is the postscript of the book that Sister Ninth borrowed from me last time. I didn't find it last time. I found it two days ago. I originally planned to bring it to Sister Ninth today, but I forgot it again. I just saw it when I saw it when I brought it to Sister Ninth!"
"Thank you, Brother Zhiwen!" Xu Shu looked at her eyes, and Yuzhu hurriedly stepped forward to take the book, "Thank you, Young Master Zhiwen!"
"No...you're welcome!" Zheng Zhiwen waved his hand, "Then...then I'll go chase my sister!"
Xu Shu nodded, "Brother Zhiwen walked slowly!"
Yuzhu returned to Xu Shu with the book and let out a long sigh, "I was shocked when I saw Mr. Zhiwen coming! I thought Mr. Zhiwen was here..." Yuzhu and Xu Shu were worried about joining each other, "Luckily it's not!"
"I almost thought so just now! But it seems that I was thinking too much..."
Xu Shu glanced at the book in Yuzhu's hand, but her frown did not let go. Zheng Wanying had stayed at her until very late before going back, but Chen had never been asked to come and find her. How could she suddenly come and find her today?
So Zheng Zhiwen is indeed lying!
It was not Chen who asked him to come, but Zheng Zhiwen's own decision. It was just an excuse for him to come to find Zheng Wanxia. Moreover, Zheng Zhiwen also brought this book and borrowed it, so he had to pay it back. If he borrowed it, he would have to deal with it. If he had more contacts, some clues would be revealed. So Zheng Zhiwen wanted to test himself?
Suddenly, Xu Shu lost interest in the book and asked Yuzhu to put it away and returned it to Zheng Zhiwen after a few days.
I was afraid that Mrs. Zheng Si was worried, and I was afraid that Mrs. Li would come to me again. After Zheng Wanying left, Xu Shu still went to Puyuxuan and told Mrs. Zheng Si about meeting Mrs. Li today at Hanxi Temple. Mrs. Zheng Si was so angry that she directly criticized Mrs. Li for being shameless and said such shameless words!
