After returning home, the Crown Princess can no longer hide her vest!

Chapter 69: Digging Deeply into Yu Linlang

Early the next morning, Yu Pianpian got up early as usual and came to Huo's courtyard to say hello.

The mother and daughter held hands affectionately and talked privately together for a while. The dowry mother Zhao walked in and saluted with a smile.

"Madam, the servants who went to pick up people in Xiaofu Village are back. Madam, do you want to see them now?"

Huo's expression changed slightly and she stood up.

Yu Pianpian also looked excited, "Great, great, they are finally back. Aunt Zhao, recruit people quickly so that we can get to know Sister Linlang better."

Huo calmed down and snorted, "It's been about twenty days, right? Why did it take so long to come back?"

"They said the road was not easy to walk on. They encountered a group of hungry people who were robbing food on the way. Several servants were almost beaten to death on the way."

Huo sat down slowly again and nodded, "Let's have breakfast first."

"Yes." Aunt Zhao nodded and exited, ordering the little maids to serve breakfast.

Yu Pianpian was a little uneasy, "Mother..."

"Don't worry, he's back. Don't rush to figure out the whole thing. We've had breakfast to recharge ourselves, and we'll have plenty of time to interrogate him slowly."

Yu Pianpian took a deep breath and nodded slowly, "Okay, listen to mother."

Breakfast was served shortly after, including four side dishes and two bowls of peanut polenta.

Huo frowned and said, "How come there's no white fungus bird's nest or candied date steamed cake?"

There are too few side dishes. In the past, there were eight side dishes for breakfast, so why are there only four today?

Aunt Zhao sighed, "Tremella and bird's nests are all out of stock. The shopkeeper said that the recent land and water freight has been taken up by rice, corn or medicinal dealers, and the goods can't be shipped from the south of the Yangtze River."

"The people in the kitchen went shopping several times, but they couldn't buy particularly fine food. Now the price of rice in the city has risen sharply. They said that in another ten days, the price of rice may rise to 17 or 18 cents."

"The shop owner of Cai Yixuan said that it will be closed recently and will reopen after the supply of goods arrives."

Huo's brows furrowed even more tightly, "How can that be done? We Pianpian have to drink a cup of bird's nest and white fungus every day, otherwise our skin would not be as hydrated as it is now."

"There is no water and land access over Jiangnan Road, so I went to the capital to buy it. I wrote to my parents' side and asked them to organize a batch to be sent over."

"Good lady."

Yu Pianpian pursed her lips and smiled softly, "Mother, you are so kind to your daughter."

Huo was in a very good mood, patted her daughter's hand and said with a smile, "If a mother is not kind to her own daughter, who can she be kind to?"

After finishing a simple breakfast, Huo touched the corners of her lips lightly with her handkerchief, and suddenly asked casually, "When did she come back yesterday?"

Aunt Zhao was stunned for a moment, then realized who the lady was asking about, and quickly replied with a smile, "The concierge said that it was almost the fourth day when Miss Linlang returned home, and she was sent back by Mu Shizi's carriage."

"Your Majesty?" Yu Pianpian covered her mouth with a handkerchief, her eyes widened with a hint of shock.

Mrs. Huo was offended by this sentence. She slapped the table and said angrily, "The fourth watch? I don't know how to behave and have no rules! Is this still the daughter of my Yufu? Go, call her over, I want to ask Ask her what she did last night!" "Mother, mother, calm down." Yu Pianpian gently rubbed Huo's back and carefully advised, "Sister Linlang may just be a little playful at a young age, and maybe she will be with the prince. The two of them did nothing that exceeded the rules.”

He sighed again, frowning and feeling depressed, "It's just that she, alas, was involved with Prince Pingkang at one moment, and with the Crown Prince at the next, alas... After all, the reputation of our Yu family is not so good. "

Huo's anger went straight up, "Go and call her over to me, go now. And you, go to the family temple and invite the family master over! Go!"

"Mom, the two girls next to my sister are very strong and have some rudimentary boxing and kicking skills. I'm afraid the mothers are no match for them."

Huo slammed the table and shouted angrily, "Let the palace guards invite her! Invite them all! Go now!"

"Mom, don't be angry. Sister Linlang is a delicate and frail girl after all. Isn't it not good for the family to deal with her?"

"You are shameless and unruly. If you don't teach me now, why wait? It will be too late to teach us if the Yu family will create a big mess in the future!!"

All the nuns in Huo's courtyard came out in full force, and then returned with their heads hanging down after a moment.

"Madam, Miss Linlang is not in the courtyard. The two maids beside her and the cook Huang Sao are not here either. The concierge said they left the city early in the morning."

Madam Huo fell back in anger, pinched the handkerchief in her hand, and almost gritted her teeth, "Go! Go and call all the women in Xiaozhuangzi in now."

Huo was furious and said, "I want to ask questions now!"

We must ask clearly, what on earth did this damn girl do to Zhuangzi in the past ten years or so, and become such a ghost without any relatives or fathers!

After a while, three mothers-in-law and five middle-aged women walked in with their heads lowered and shoulders hunched, followed by Nanny Zhao.

Aunt Zhao pointed at the servant girl in the middle, "This is Mrs. Lu, the stewardess of Xiaofu Village."

Then he pointed to the one on the right, "Deputy Steward Gao."

Huo slammed the table.

Several women rolled on the ground. They were so frightened that they tightened their necks and kowtowed, "Madam, please spare my life, Madam, please spare your life."

"Tell me the truth, what happened to Yu Linlang?"

Mrs. Gao glanced at Mrs. Lu in panic. The latter was quite calm and replied, "Madam, Aunt Hu also came to ask about the slaves before. I can tell you everything about the slaves, no matter how big or small it is." Report it to the police, could it be that Aunt Hu didn’t explain it carefully to Madam?”

Yu Pianpian took a sip of tea, raised her eyelids and glanced at Mrs. Lu, "What Mother Hu said before was very general, but you couldn't explain it clearly, so Madam invited you to come over and explain it more carefully in person. "

"You guys, tell me everything you know. Don't lie in any word."

Huo frowned coldly, "How many times has that girl been in seclusion in the past ten years? Is it just for studying? What books does she usually read? Where did she learn her medical skills? Did Zhuangzi hire any teacher for her? Explain everything to me clearly."

Mrs. Gao shrank her neck and did not dare to say anything. Mrs. Lu replied, "Yes, yes, Miss likes to retreat. From time to time, she will close the door to thank guests, and will not go out for ten days and a half. She reads some medical books, right? , Zhuangzi has never invited any teacher to teach him."

"The young lady is withdrawn and always likes to be alone. Twice, we broke into her small courtyard with all our lives and were beaten up by several girls. The girls around the young lady are very powerful, fierce and fierce. We I really can’t deal with it, madam…”

"Mother Lu, please don't lie to Madam." Yu Pianpian rarely turned cold.
