Abandoned Women: The First Secret Service Concubine

Chapter 246 Master Qian's Probe

"Oh!" Feng Yao said slightly in surprise.

Murong Xi'er couldn't help but leaned over and looked into the jar.Inside, there was a can of candied dates.Through the mouth of the jar, it can be seen that the jujube inside has been pitted, and the grains are thick and full.The tiny folds of dates are soaked in amber honey.Illuminated by the sun, exuding a crystal clear luster.

"Madam Su did these things herself, right?" Feng Yao thought to herself.Because I was not sure, I didn't say it.He just glanced at the several colors of exquisite pastries in the oil paper bag, and then looked at the carefully selected jujubes in the white fine porcelain jar, candied dates that were pickled.She thought in her heart, if Mrs. Su did it herself, then her attitude would be a bit playful.

"Gudong." The sound of swallowing saliva was undoubtedly made by Doudou again.

Murong Xi'er tilted her head to look at the little guy, feeling a little envious for a while, and also a little grateful: "Doudou want to eat? I'll go get the chopsticks, let's all have a taste." After finishing speaking, the tip of her eyes glanced at Murong Yu, and looked up. Foot went to the kitchen.

It was Murong Yu who taught her just now that Feng Yao should not be sent, and she remembered it.Feng Yao was a little amused, and quickly took two steps to stand in front of her: "Sit down quickly, don't let me, the host, lose face."

He stopped Murong Xi'er, walked quickly into the kitchen, and came out with three pairs of chopsticks.One pair for Murong Yu, one pair for Murong Xier, and one pair for her and Doudou.

Murong Yu didn't like these things, so he gave the chopsticks in his hand to Doudou: "A man, a man, still uses a pair of chopsticks with his mother, what do you mean?"

"Hmm." Doudou lowered her head and took the chopsticks.

Feng Yao glared at Murong Yu again, feeling that something was wrong with this guy today.Feng Yao could understand the previous targeting of Murong Xi'er, it was nothing more than a big man's inner troubles and he didn't want others to control his wife.But for Doudou, why?Could it be that he even eats his son's jealousy?Feng Yao thought suspiciously, after all, just last night, Feng Yao felt sorry for him being late and made him a bowl of supper. At that time, the two of them used the same pair of chopsticks.

Received Feng Yao's glaring gaze, Murong Yu was not annoyed at all, and turned his eyes, exuding a sense of affection.Feng Yao shuddered suddenly, a thought came to her mind, Murong Yu must be stupid, right?

If Murong Yu could hear her heartfelt voice, I'm afraid he would complain. He could smell the smell of meat every day, but he would never give it to him. Who wouldn't be crazy?

But Murong Xi'er picked up a piece of candied date, put it in his mouth and chewed it.I only feel that it is sweet and chewy, and the taste is very good, it is not worse than that of the royal chefs in the palace, so I can't help being a little surprised.Beside, Doudou finished eating a piece of candied dates, then said to Feng Yao: "Mother, give Doudou another piece."

He is not yet four years old. Although he has grown a lot in the past six months, he has lost a lot before, so he is still a bit short compared to ordinary children.At this moment, the top of his head has only reached the edge of the small stone table in the courtyard, let alone eating something from the jar.

Feng Yao gave him a piece, and said, "Is it delicious?"

"Yeah." Doudou opened her mouth to bite the candied date, her cheeks were puffed up, and she said indistinctly: "The candied dates sold on the street are not so big, nor are they so sweet."

Feng Yao was a little amused, but put down her chopsticks and said, "Okay. If you eat too much, your teeth will decay. After you finish this piece, you are not allowed to eat any more."

Doudou nodded obediently, took small bites of the candied dates, and ate them with great care.Feng Yao was a little amused, took another look at Murong Xi'er, and then sealed the jar again.Wrapped the oiled paper again, wrapped the package again, and said to Murong Xi'er: "They are all good things. You can take them back and eat."

Murong Xi'er nodded, her mouth was filled with sweet taste, but strands of bitterness lingered in her heart.Su Xingyan's mother probably treated Su Xingyan very well, right?Feng Yao is also very good to Doudou.So who treats her best?

Concubine Xu?Thinking of the sharpness and coldness that flashed from time to time in Concubine Xu Gui's gentle eyes, Murong Xi'er shook her head in her heart.emperor?Thinking of the slap that slapped the corners of the mouth that was a bit broken that day, and the strong murderous look in those old cloudy eyes, Murong Xi'er shook his head again.

The loneliness in her eyes did not escape Feng Yao who had been watching her.Ever since Murong Xi'er came that day, Feng Yao had some unspeakable worries about Murong Xi'er.Always felt that something happened to her.But she is not in the palace, and Murong Yu is not in the capital, and Murong Yu has been very busy recently, so it is not easy for Feng Yao to distract him because of her little speculation.

Before, Feng Yao could attribute her worry about Murong Xi'er to an illusion.But looking at her again today, although Murong Xi'er looked lively and cheerful, but Feng Yao occasionally looked up at her, but once or twice she always saw a trace of absent-mindedness and loneliness.Xi'er, something is wrong.

Feng Yao just wanted to pull Murong Xi'er away, and was about to have a talk with her, but unexpectedly, Lu'er ran in from outside the courtyard: "Madam, it's not good, someone is here to make trouble!"

"What's going on?" Feng Yao had to suppress her thoughts, and asked Lu'er.

I only heard Lu'er say: "Since the morning, there has been a person in front of our cloth shop, poking back and forth, very sneaky. I went out to chase him, but he didn't leave, just wandering in front of the door. Occasionally I also went away, but came back after a while. I felt strange, so I asked him what was going on, but he actually started to slander, saying that we killed the treasurer Qian!" Three days ago, Qian Zhenzhen and Xue Chengren took He invited two servants, and carrying gifts that were not heavy, but definitely not cheap, came to the door to ask to see the owner of Qiutang Garden, the head of the Qian family, Master Qian.

Master Qian met Qian Zhenzhen, heard what had happened, and got Qian Zhenzhen's rubbings of the Quju style drawing, so he had a different idea.However, the blueprints are exquisite and beautiful. If it is managed properly, Qiutang Garden will become the first of the four major merchants in Dajing Dynasty.So he sent his trusted servants to Huangsha Town to feel the bottom of Fengxu Pavilion.

That confidant, because he was trusted by Master Qian, had given him the surname Qian, named Qian Sen.But he was a smart and appropriate person, he took money, clothes and other things after receiving Master Qian's order, and went to Huangsha Town that day.When I arrived at Huangsha Town, I didn't go to Fengxu Pavilion immediately, but first inquired about Fengxu Pavilion's reputation and deeds on the cloth art street.After inquiring about these things was not enough, I also inquired about Feng Yao's background and past.After he had a clue in his mind, he went to the gate of Fengxu Pavilion.

Qian Sen shrank his head and tail on purpose to attract Lu'er's attention, and then, taking advantage of the crowds of pedestrians on the street, he opened his voice and shouted in front of Fengxu Pavilion's door: "Fengxu Pavilion bullies others, steals other people's ideas, Bullying colleagues is truly despised by the world!"

"Fengxu Pavilion killed shopkeeper Qian and forced Qian's family to leave Huangsha Town. The methods are vicious and frightening!"

"Murder to pay for life, debt to pay back money, why don't Fengxu Pavilion plead guilty quickly?"

How could Lu'er hear that, and immediately ran out to cover the man's mouth: "Where did you come from, what are you talking about? You dare to talk nonsense, and I will send you to see the official!"

Qian Sen pushed Lu'er's hand away, led the passers-by to gather, and shouted: "I'm not a fool, I just saw Fengxu Pavilion bullying others and drew their swords to help. You can do such a thing, but you don't allow others What do you mean? I knew today, why bother?"

Qian Sen's voice was quite high, and he shouted it deliberately, so passers-by quickly gathered around.There were also colleagues on both sides, the shopkeeper and the young man came out of the shop, and looked at this side in surprise: "Why is Fengxu Pavilion so attractive? Someone comes to make trouble every three days?"

Everyone's chatter did not escape Qian Sen's ears. He was used to doing this kind of thing with Master Qian, and he had quite a lot of experience. With his hands on Lu'er, he raised his head and shouted: "There is no wind, no waves, and flies don't bite seamlessly." Damn, if the Fengxu Pavilion is clean, who would bother to find them uncomfortable?"

With this shout, everyone couldn't help thinking.

"Bah! Obviously, you saw that our business in Fengxu Pavilion was good and robbed you of your wealth. You were jealous and deliberately played tricks on us!" After all, Lu'er was young. Although she was a bit aggressive, she didn't cover Qian Sen's mouth and called him They spoke one sentence after another.Feeling extremely annoyed at this moment, he couldn't help cursing.

Qian Sen didn't care, and raised his voice and said, "Who is jealous of you? You killed Shopkeeper Qian, and you still don't admit it?"

"Who killed him? What nonsense are you talking about?" Lu'er was so angry that she kicked him with her foot, so she might as well kick him for nothing, staggered and almost didn't fall.

Qian Sen said again: "The shopkeeper Qian was fine at first, why did he walk in front of your cloth shop once, and then die when he got home? I heard that there is a very skilled guard in your shop, maybe he used the secret Jin, let shopkeeper Qian suffer a secret injury, and die when he returns home!"

It had to be said that Qian Sen was an old stickler after all, so he guessed it right.However, Lu'er didn't know that Treasurer Qian died in the palm of Murong Yu.Even if he knew, he would not admit it.He said angrily, "We are to blame if he fell to his death? Just because he passed by our door in the daytime? Then with so many people passing by our door every day, does it mean that anyone who is pregnant will be blamed on us?"

As soon as the words fell, there were high and low laughter all around.

Qian Sen was also a little surprised at Lu'er's cleverness, and he called out unreasonably: "Aren't you making too much sense?"

Hua Rui originally wanted to ask Dragonfly to take this person down, but hearing Qian Sen's remarks, she couldn't help frowning, and gradually felt a little troublesome in her heart.Then he stepped out and said to Lu'er, "Go and call Madam, and I'll deal with him."

When Qian Sen fought against Lu'er, because Lu'er was a half-grown young man, he was reckless and very clever, so he didn't dare to go too far.After all, he is old, if Lu'er gets anxious and beats the old master to death, it will not be worth the loss.He came here to find out for his master, not to die in allegiance.

Unexpectedly, Lu'er ran away, and a tender-faced little girl came over instead, and Qian Sen laughed.

What Qian Sen could think of, Lu'er couldn't think of?However, Dragonfly had to stay and protect Sanhua, and Sanhua's leg strength was no match for him, so it was the most appropriate for him to go back and tell Fengyao.So with all his strength, he rushed to Feng Yao's house with his head buried.

When I came to Fengyao's house and saw Fengyao, I didn't say much, just told Fengyao to hurry up.As for the detailed scene, after leaving the door, he told Feng Yao along the way.
