Outsiders also have golden fingers

Chapter 33

Patriarch Du would never have guessed that this letter was written by Ye Wanyun and Ding Younian.

Feeling a little disappointed, Du Zhiqian not only found excuses not to invite his clansmen when they got married, but also didn't come back to worship the ancestors during the Chinese New Year.

I also don't see taking the initiative to invite the elders of the clan to celebrate the New Year in the Hou's Mansion, which really makes people feel unhappy.

Although Zhiqian became the son-in-law of the Lu family, the family has been unable to establish a relationship with the Lu family for a long time, which is really worrying.

It is gratifying that this incident did not affect Du Zhiqian's future, and it will always bring benefits in the future.

Anyway, Mrs. Du is going to recover from now on, even if his son is too late, his grandson can be more promising.

After Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Lin knew about it, they were both relieved and sad for Ye Wanyun.

The happy thing is that she finally arrived at the Hou Mansion safely. Not only can she enjoy the glory and wealth, but she can also be with her husband often, and maybe even have her own son.

It's a pity that no matter how equal they are, the Lu family is Mrs. Hou, and with the support of her brothers and sisters, Wan Yun's identity will be very embarrassing.

It's a pity that they can't help much with their humble words. I just hope that she can think about it, and I also hope that Du Zhiqian will not forget the love for marriage.

On the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, the day before the Laba Festival, Yunzhou was already very cold. A well-dressed young man with a complacent expression led four strong guards and came to Dujiazhuang on tall horses.

The group of people was travel-stained, followed by three large carriages, which looked heavy and seemed to be loaded with a lot of things.

He went straight to Patriarch Du's house, handed over his identity plate, and reported to himself that the house was from Pingdinghou's mansion to bring New Year's gifts to the clan.

Patriarch Du was very happy. It seems that Zhiqian still has some conscience, and the New Year's ceremony was full of three carts.

The young man is of medium build, fair and handsome, with a shrewd expression. He calls himself Lu Zuwang.

Patriarch Du's expression became more and more respectful. This is a member of the Lu family, even if he is just a slave, he must be friendly.

He didn't care about the other party's respectful contempt, and asked happily:

"It's freezing cold, please trouble me to go all the way, how is Lord Hou? How is Mrs. Hou? How is Mrs. Ye?"

Steward Lu was taken aback, and put down the teacup in his hand: "What Madam Ye? Where is Madam Ye from?"

His expression became serious: "Clan Chief Du, please explain clearly, what is Mrs. Ye? Isn't that Mrs. Ye in Du's village? Has he passed away?"

With his wife's jewels in front of him, even a piece of Ye's rubble is worthy of the title of wife!

This year's gift is also given to the Ye family. Although it is based on the share of the distant branches of the family, at least there is a share, and it is only allowed by Madam's mercy.

How could patriarch Du ask how Ye's well-being, didn't he?

Patriarch Du's heart skipped a beat, seeing that Guanshi Lu's expression didn't seem fake, and he was a little confused.

He quickly explained the ins and outs of Ye Wanyun's mother and daughter entering Beijing. In order to increase persuasiveness, he also produced two "personal letters" written by Du Zhiqian.

"About a month or so after Mrs. Ye left, Lord Hou sent someone to send this letter, saying that Mrs. Ye's mother and daughter have arrived in Beijing safely, and they are separated from Mrs. Lu in the east and west courtyards."

Guanshi Lu snatched the two letters, read it quickly, his expression changed drastically, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

I checked the handwriting and seal repeatedly to confirm that the letter was genuine.

It's not easy to be in charge of the Hou's mansion. If you want to be competent, you have to be proficient in many things.

One of the most important ones is to learn to distinguish the handwriting and seals of important masters in the mansion, such as the general manager, chief steward, and chief treasurer, as well as to distinguish the authenticity of various bank notes and contract documents.

There are also the family crests and family crests of various important aristocratic mansions, and various personal relationships, so as not to be deceived by others in the future or cause nobles to cause disasters.

He is also quite talented in this area, so he was promoted to steward at a young age.

This letter is indeed the original work of Lord Hou, and the seal is also real, so he will never admit his mistake.

If he really admitted his mistake, it can only show that the other party's method of deception is too clever, so clever that even Lord Hou himself may not be able to tell the difference.

Could it be that Master Hou was reluctant to give away his wife and concubine daughters, and boldly carried the general and his wife behind his back to bring Ye's mother and daughter to Beijing?Or resettle elsewhere, in order to deceive the clansman to find such an excuse?

It's impossible to think about it, Hou Ye didn't dare to do this at all, a Ye family is not worth offending the Lu family.

What is a deep love affair is worthless in front of fame and fortune, not to mention that the wife is young, beautiful and has a strong background, and being able to keep her wife alive is the result of weighing all aspects.

Why Taizu Empress is only allowed to marry and leave but not to divorce his wife, it's just a little nicer, and more methods are needed.

What the hell is it that the original spouse must be in the church when it is said in the credible?

Madam really has a baby in her belly and can't wait, but didn't they get married within ten days after Master Hou returned to Beijing?

But what does this have to do with the presence or absence of the original partner?When paying homage to the high hall, the elders of Du's family were only two memorial tablets!

It is true that many political enemies and rivals of the Lu family used this to accuse Lord Hou of abandoning his wife and marrying another, but they were all suppressed by the imperial concubine and the general. Isn't the emperor also making love?
What exactly is going on?

Suddenly, he thought of a possibility, and sat down on the chair without speaking.

If Master Hou didn't do this, who else could have done it?

The weak mother and young daughter brought a few servants who had never been out of the house, and left Du's house for several months, and now no one is alive or dead, could it be, could it be?
Could it be that his wife thought Ye's mother and daughter were an eyesore?

Some of the general's subordinates are talented people, and some of them are very good at imitating various handwriting and engraving fake seals, and they have made great contributions.

Outsiders don't know the true abilities of these people, but he knows them all.

In order to show his loyalty, Lord Hou handed over his private seal to his wife for safekeeping as soon as they got married. In order not to make mistakes in the future, they all carefully identified the seal and kept it in their hearts, even remembering the details clearly.

Even if the handwriting is fake, the seal is definitely real, and he will never read it wrong.

For Madam, it is not too easy to imitate a handwritten letter from Master Hou to trick Ye's mother and daughter into Beijing, and then make them disappear without anyone noticing!

That's right, with them around, Madam's status as a concubine is not justified, and people will use it to slander her for the rest of her life.

She has always been the most intolerant of grievances, unlike the general and the imperial concubine who put the overall situation first, it is only normal to do such a thing.

But the tricks are too obvious. Although there is no evidence, everyone will guess that it was done by the Lu family.

The general could have made Mrs. Ye die of a strange accident without even leaving the Du family village, or even died of a sudden illness, and no investigation could find out.

A little more gentleness, a little more cover-up, and letting her slowly die of illness without anyone noticing will not be a problem.

Madam is so outspoken, isn't it afraid that Master Hou will feel resentful because of this, thinking that her methods are vicious and intolerable?
Maybe she was sure that Master Hou would not dare to do anything even if he was angry, not to mention that he might not be really angry, so she was not afraid, right?

Even deliberately so blatantly, and then bring the news back to the capital with the New Year's gift?

Could it be that he just wanted to see how Master Hou reacted when he heard the bad news?Then you can know whether he still has affection for Ye Shi?

Women are sometimes so unreasonable, jealous and irrational.
