peasant young lady

Chapter 63 True Identity
When Dahua heard this, her face immediately became tense, and she suddenly looked at Cheng Xia, only to see Cheng Xia hiss in a low voice, and the younger brother who followed in to hand over the menu saw that they were so nervous that he dared not speak.

Cheng Xia carefully beckoned the younger brother to come closer, and then said in the smallest voice, "You have three signature dishes, one dessert, and two bowls of rice. Keep your voice down."

"Understood, understood," the younger brother nodded thoughtfully and then backed out.

"Little sister, it's brother-in-law." Dahua's lips moved slightly, comparing the shape of her lips.

Cheng Xia nodded, put his ear on the opposite wall and listened carefully.

The private room on the second floor is separated by a screen, not eight individually separated small private rooms like the shopkeeper’s restaurant. The private room here is very hidden, but the sound insulation effect is not good, otherwise Cheng Xia would not When I came up, I heard Liu Wen's voice.

The last time I saw Liu Wen sneaking around in front of the high mansion compound, and went to meet women secretly, Cheng Xia knew that Liu Wen must have something to deal with, and now that she meets here again, she must listen to Liu Wen carefully. What a conspiracy.

"Second Uncle, you must trust me this time, it is absolutely beautiful, I guarantee your satisfaction."

Uncle?Is it the one where Liu Wen begged the housekeeper to open the door last time?She remembered that she heard the housekeeper say that he was the second uncle outside of Wufu.

I didn't see him last time, did I finally get that second uncle to Tianyou Restaurant this time?

What a beautiful woman?Who said it?
"Second Uncle, if you trust me again, I promise not to lie to you." Liu Wen smiled obsequiously, and Cheng Xia could imagine his doggy appearance through two screens.

"Huh," came a thick but rough middle-aged man's voice, he did not speak softly like Liu Wen, but deliberately raised his pitch, "Tell yourself how many times you have fooled me, the agreed time You keep pushing back again and again, and your money has never been in place. How about now, just tell me if you have any money, and get someone to make up for it, and it’s worth 20 taels. Let me tell you, if I really want to, It's easy to buy one from Renyazi, 20 taels is enough for me to buy three or four girls."

"Second Uncle, don't," Liu Wen quickly patted the old man's back to comfort him, "Second Uncle, let me put it this way, even if you buy ten of them from Ren Yazi, they won't be worth the price of mine."

"So beautiful?" The old man's voice was full of excitement and suspicion.

"But it's true, if I dare to lie to Second Uncle again, Second Uncle will let your wolfdog bite me directly, and I promise not to run away." Liu Wen swore.

"The girls can listen to you?" The old man expressed doubts.

"Food is here!" Hearing the critical moment, the second brother outside the private room yelled and the two people on the opposite side immediately fell silent. Mingming reminded him to keep his voice down.

The little second brother saw that the little beauty was angry and beautiful, so he nodded quickly to express his apology, put down the food at hand and went out.

Dahua looked at Cheng Xia worriedly, "What do you think brother-in-law told people?"

Cheng Xia waved his hand, and picked some rice casually, but he couldn't eat it like a stick in his throat, so he whispered in Da Hua's ear, "Sister-in-law, you can eat slowly here, I'll be back soon after I go out."

"Why are you going?" Dahua nervously grabbed Cheng Xia's sleeve to prevent her from leaving, and Cheng Xia clapped her hand knowingly, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll pay the bill first, so no one will disturb you You, just eat slowly and don't go out."

Cheng Xia just stood up, vaguely saw Liu Wen not far away, and said a few more words, "Don't let Liu Wen know that you are here, I promise to go back quickly."

Cheng Xia deliberately gave the younger brother five more copper coins, and told him not to disturb the big flower upstairs, and then went out in peace.

The rain tends to get bigger and bigger, but fortunately, it's just a little bigger than before, and it's not bad for a walk in the rain.Cheng Xia trotted all the way to the dilapidated small houses in the east, looking at the door of the innermost room that was still closed, Cheng Xia was thinking about how to find out who lived in that house.

The rain became denser again, and Cheng Xia was stunned for a full quarter of an hour, but he didn't see anyone passing by nearby, so he couldn't find someone to ask.

Just when Cheng Xia was hesitating whether to knock on the door directly and ask for a glass of water, an old man behind him suddenly shouted, "Hey, which little lady is in the rain?"

Cheng Xia was overjoyed, and quickly turned around to see a white-haired old woman standing not far away, frowning at her. Cheng Xia ran to the old woman and saw that she was holding a vegetable basket in her hand. After eating some wild vegetables, and looking at the old grandma's patched and patched clothes, Cheng Xia suddenly had a sore nose, "Grandma, what are you doing here?"

The old lady looked at Cheng Xia with a smile, thinking that this child is very interesting, she obviously asked her a question, but before she answered, she asked herself, "I picked some wild vegetables for cooking, what are you doing standing there?"

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, Cheng Xia asked the old lady where she lived, and followed the old lady into the house. The house was completely destitute, and only the old lady lived alone, "Grandma, do you know who lives here?"

She must know who that woman is today, and she must see through Liu Wen's conspiracy.

While busy washing the wild vegetables, the old lady looked back at Cheng Xia, "Are you looking for someone?"

Cheng Xia shook her head, "Grandma, I'm not looking for anyone, I just heard my sister and brother-in-law quarreling, saying that my brother-in-law always comes here, and my sister asked me to see why my brother-in-law is here. But I just looked, and there is nothing."

"That's it," the old grandma started to cut the vegetables with a worn-out kitchen knife after washing the vegetables, and then said in confusion after thinking about it, "There's nothing here, I'm the only old woman living here."

impossible?Cheng Xia wondered in his heart, if there was only the old lady, then who was the woman who was hanging out with Liu Wensi.

"No, there's another woman, we're the only ones living here." The old lady corrected her statement after thinking about it.

Cheng Xia hurriedly asked, "Does grandma know who that woman is?"

"Here, let me think about it," the old grandma chopped up the wild vegetables and began to steam them in the pot. There was no oil or salt at home, so they had to steam them like this. "That woman has a lot of background. I heard that she is the county magistrate's daughter. She has a lot of airs. I happened to meet her when I went out once, and she scolded me."

"The county magistrate's daughter?" Cheng Xia was confused, "Why does the county magistrate's daughter live here?"

From the look of the old grandma, one could tell that she was kicked out by the children and grandchildren of the family. This place is so dilapidated and desolate that it is impossible for ordinary people's daughters to be driven here, let alone the daughter of the county magistrate.

"Really!" Seeing Cheng Xia's disbelief, the old grandma nodded affirmatively again, the white hair on her temples slipped to her ears because of her movements, and the old grandma smoothed it back behind her ears unhurriedly, "I've been living here It's been five years, and she's only been here for half a year, so I always forget that there are other people living here." The old woman smiled wryly, "She is indeed the county magistrate's daughter, but she is a widow now. Her husband died half a year ago. Live here."

"Then why didn't the magistrate take her home?" Cheng Xia was puzzled.

"What are you going to do? This woman almost let the people in the city sink the pond." The old lady said leisurely, "I heard that her husband is a kind person, and her family conditions are very good. She lives in a big house and has someone to take care of her. But As for this woman, she always suspected that there was someone outside her husband. It is said that she killed a little girl in the mansion, but she was suppressed by the county master. Later, her husband simply took another girl in the mansion as a concubine. The concubine was killed by her again when she was pregnant. She was too ungrateful and wanted to die with her, but in the end she died, and I don't know if she killed her secretly."

Hearing the old grandmother's outrageous words, Cheng Xia suddenly wanted to laugh, "Grandma, you know too much detail."

"What's the matter?" the old lady didn't care. "At that time, people in the county were discussing it. Her husband's family directly sued the court, saying that they wanted to seek justice for his son. The people in the county also said that she must let her sink into the pond, but later The county magistrate was suppressed again, and everyone didn't know where the woman went, but she was secretly sent here by the county master."

The old lady suddenly smiled shyly and seriously, "My son told me this when he came to see me secretly, and he also said that he would not let me tell others. If the county master finds out, he might blame me. Little girl, don't say it outside, you can't harm my son."

"Yeah, grandma, I promise," Cheng Xia felt sore when she saw the old grandma's satisfaction and relief when she mentioned her son, "Grandma," the words stopped as soon as they came out. He took out a few pennies and solemnly handed them to the old grandma, "Grandma, take it and buy something to eat. My sister is still waiting at home. I'm going home first."

"Hey, this won't work," the old lady refused, "If your family members know about you, they will blame you," she said, and she was going to push Cheng Xia back, "Also, tell your sister, take good care of your brother-in-law, don't let him He's running here, there's a lot of gossip in front of the widow's door, don't cause trouble."

"Grandma, I understand," Cheng Xia handed the money back, turned around and ran out.

It was raining like a waterfall outside, Cheng Xia stood under the eaves of the old grandmother's door and looked at the woman's yard, it was still closed, the yard was surrounded by soil, unlike the fenced yards of the Yang family and Cheng's family, the scene in the yard was clear at a glance .If the woman didn't open the door, Cheng Xia wouldn't know what happened inside.

Since she is the county magistrate's daughter and a widow with a bad reputation, Cheng Xia has no doubt that Liu Wen can get along with her, but she is curious about how Liu Wen hooked up with this woman and what she can bring to Liu Wen What about the benefits?

If a man like Liu Wen said that he only wanted a woman's beauty or body, Cheng Xia would not believe it, and Liu Wen would definitely want something.Could it be that he fell in love with the county master behind that woman?That's not right, this woman has become a widow, and the county magistrate has given her up, so what's the use value?
Cheng Xia was puzzled, she thought she would go back to find Dahua first, but just as she was about to take a step, she saw a familiar figure walking in the rain curtain in the distance.

It's Liu Wen!
Too bad, Liu Wen will definitely find her when he comes over.
