Yijia Yishi

Chapter 374 Wu Mansion
Second Master Lu felt that the dinner was too fussy. Although Huo Tianyou was not the eldest son, he was also the second son of the Huo family, and this time he came here specially for Wu Cheng's affairs, so he only boiled a pot of white porridge. It was really...

He felt embarrassed.

It's not that the Lu family can't afford food anymore, they usually pay attention to their meals, but now that the distinguished guests come, they don't pay attention to face at all.

However, Huo Tianyou ate it very sweetly, and he didn't show any dislike. He drank two bowls of white porridge in succession, and he even ate one of the rice dumplings.

Master Lu Er was dumbfounded.

Which one of the noble sons of meritorious families like Huo Tianyou didn't grow up pampered and well-clothed with a golden spoon in his mouth?He can actually eat corn dumplings...

He finally couldn't hold back and asked: "What does Second Young Master think of this corn dumpling? Is it a habit to eat?"

Huo Tianyou said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, when I was a child, I secretly ate this vegetable dumpling made by my nurse for my own children. The nurse's craftsmanship is excellent, so the taste of that dumpling is still fresh in my memory. The one I ate in your mansion today Dumplings, the taste is very similar to the ones made by the wet nurse back then, they are delicious."

The second master Lu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like he was hit right.

Although he never liked to deliberately curry favor with anyone, or befriend anyone, he had a lot of exchanges with Huo Tianyou on the way to Changle Town, and they felt like they hit it off, so he paid more attention to his feelings.

He returned the gift with a smile: "Since it suits the second son's taste, then the second son should use a few more."

Huo Tianyou thanked him and used another vegetable dumpling.

Master Lu Er was very happy to see it. He didn't know how much courage it took Huo Tianyou to eat those two dumplings...

He never touched this kind of thing in Huo's house, not to mention whether it tasted good, even the dry taste, he couldn't swallow it.

But in order to make a good impression in front of Master Lu Er, he still worked hard to eat two pieces of vegetable dumplings.

After dinner, the group of people didn't even take a break, and went straight to Wu's house in a carriage.

Lu Shujing and Chai Xiu'e did not go there, the two of them stayed to watch the house, and Huo Tianyou secretly sent a few people to stay to protect their safety, so they left in peace.

In fact, the Wu family has already become a mess inside, but the Yang family has some tricks, and it still looks calm outside.

The multicolored ram horn lanterns swayed gently with the wind, and the light and shadow were vivid. Mrs. Yang had brought people to wait at the second gate early.

As soon as Wu Shi returned to Changle Town, she sent someone to deliver a message to Yang Shi, saying that she must come to see her tonight, so she waited for someone to wait at the door early.

With such a big incident, in fact, Yang has no foundation in her heart. These days, she has been dealing with Mrs. Pan every day, and her head is about to explode.

Mrs. Pan is not an easy-going lamp either. Lai stays at Wu's house these days, she is being rude and shameless, and she even makes a scene of suicide from time to time, which almost drives Mrs. Yang crazy.

So when Yang Shi saw Wu Shi, such a strong woman, she still couldn't hold back the grievance and sadness in her heart, she held Wu Shi's hand with red eyes and couldn't say a word.

Wu also couldn't help crying, choked up and said: "You really are, how long do you want to hide such a big matter from me? Can you handle it alone?" Long time no see, you can see that you have lost a lot of weight."

Lu Shuyi looked at Yang Shi, she was indeed much slimmer than the last time they met, the flesh on her cheeks was sunken in, and she looked ten years older all of a sudden.

Sure enough, there is something in my heart that makes me grow old...

Yang's eyes were red and she couldn't say a word, but she held her daughter's hand tightly.

Seeing this, Lu Shuyi also felt sore in her heart, she stepped forward to comfort them and said: "Grandmother, mother, don't be sad, this matter will be resolved." Then she said to Yang: "Grandmother, Wangfei After hearing this, I was very shocked, and specially sent the second son to find out the truth for us, with the second son Huo here, the matter will definitely come to light."

Only after Yang heard this did she notice Huo Tianyou who was standing beside Master Lu.

Under the shadow of the lamp, the young man became taller and taller, handsome and unrestrained, and the demeanor of everyone's son was perfectly displayed on him.

Yang Shi sighed unceasingly, our young master is our young master, and his temperament is not comparable to that of others.

Huo Tianyou bowed his hands very politely, greeted Mrs. Yang, and explained the purpose of coming, and said: "My concubine heard that something happened in your hometown, and it was related to Jinyu, so she ordered me to come and find out the truth." His gaze Moving slightly, he looked around and said, "Why don't you see Jinyu?"

Yang's eyes were still a little red, he thanked her in return, and said: "Your Majesty is worrying about it, and I asked you to go there yourself, I am really ashamed." He greeted: "Please come in and talk, Young Master."

Huo Tianyou did not refuse, made a gesture of invitation, and followed Mrs. Yang to the flower hall.

Along the way, Lu Shuyi and Huo Tianyou didn't say a word, but when no one suggested, they would make eye contact.

The so-called comprehension, the same mind, is probably the case.

A group of people entered the flower hall, and Yang ordered someone to cook a pot of high-quality Biluochun, and then ordered someone to bring in some refreshments.

Huo Tianyou just waved his hands and said, "You don't have to be polite, let's talk about Jinyu first."

When Wu Cheng was mentioned, Yang's face darkened, and his eyes looked at Mo Ju beside Lu Shuyi with great anxiety.

Mo Ju didn't say a word. Ever since she entered Wu's house, she never raised her head, and kept looking down at her toes, as if there was a piece of gold on them.

In fact, she dared not face it.

The person who was supposed to be a bride happily turned out to be in such a situation. How would she deal with it?

Unable to face it, I had no choice but to escape.

Looking at Mo Ju, Yang Shi also felt guilty in her heart, sighed slightly, and said to Huo Tianyou with difficult words: "I have already imprisoned that evil person in the ancestral hall. If Second Young Master wants to see him, I will order someone to tie him up."

Huo Tianyou is not stupid, he knows that the Yang family didn't really want to imprison Wu Cheng in the ancestral hall, maybe it was because she couldn't bear the harassment from the Pan family, so she used this tactic to delay the attack, first imprisoning Wu Cheng in the ancestral hall of the Wu family, so that when the Pan family came, she would He also only said that it was for Wu Cheng to reflect on himself, and it was not easy to meet guests as an excuse, so as to prevent Wu Cheng from being harassed by the Pan family every day.

The ancestral hall is also an important place for a family, no matter how messed up Mrs. Pan is, she probably wouldn't dare to bring Pan Yunchen to the ancestral hall.

What a pity for the parents of the world...

Huo Tianyou knew it well, nodded his head and said: "Then let Jinyu come here first, this matter has something to do with him, you have to ask clearly." On the other hand, he asked: "Then... Mrs. Pan and Mrs. Pan Where is Miss Pan's Fifth? Where are they?"

As soon as these two people were mentioned, a trace of disgust flashed in Yang's eyes, and he said angrily: "There was a scene in the evening, I must be tired from the noise, it's time to rest now."

The disgust in Yang's tone is self-evident.

The mother and daughter are really shameless, not to mention that they used such low-handed means to force Wu Cheng to marry their Pan family's daughter, just the turmoil of looking for life and death these days makes people feel disgusting.

What family family?At best, he is just an upstart with no foundation or background.

Yang's heart was beating violently, and he said with a sigh of relief: "If Second Young Master also wants to see them, then I will order someone to invite them over."

Huo Tianyou thought for a while, and said very politely: "Since they are the parties involved, if you want to know the ins and outs of the matter, you must ask them about their situation at that time. You can order someone to invite them over."

Mrs. Yang gritted her teeth, nodded and said, "Okay then, I'll order someone to invite her." After thinking about it for a while, she ordered Mrs. Pan's humanity: "If Mrs. Pan asks why I invited her here so late, you Just say that I have important matters, and there is no need to say anything else."

Mrs. Pan is a very smart person. If she knew that Huo Tianyou had come to investigate this matter, she would definitely take precautions, so I didn't tell her yet.

Lu Shuyi listened calmly, without saying a word.

She believed in Huo Tianyou's ability. He would be able to find out the truth of this matter and return her uncle's innocence.

Yang sent two groups of people to invite Wu Cheng and Mrs. Pan respectively.

After a while, Wu Cheng entered the flower hall.I haven't seen him for a few days, and he has obviously lost a lot of weight. I don't know if it was caused by this incident.

One or two soldiers are easy to solve, but facing one or two shrews, this matter is not so simple.

When he saw Huo Tianyou, his whole body became energetic all of a sudden, even his eyes were extraordinarily bright, as if he had seen a savior.

Yang Shi said in a deep voice: "You bastard, hurry up and kneel down. After doing such a lowly thing, why do you have the face to stand up and talk?"

The veins on Wu Cheng's forehead twitched, his eyes flashed, and he looked at Mo Ju beside Lu Shuyi.

Mo Ju hasn't eaten a mouthful of food since she found out about it yesterday, even Lu Shuyi forced her to swallow a few mouthfuls of water before she managed to swallow it.

So at this time, she looked haggard and thin, and it made people feel distressed just looking at her.

Wu Cheng felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, but Mo Ju didn't know that he had liked her from a long time ago.

At that time, when he was young, he had no father, and the only person who could play with him was Mo Ju. He was bullied by other children, but it was Mo Ju who stood up for her. In his heart, this girl was good at everything and everything Strong, let him worship, but also let him like.

Therefore, as long as his mother proposed marriage to him these years, he would try to destroy it, either to make the girl despise him, or he detested the girl. To put it bluntly, it was because he had lived in a person early in his heart and could no longer accept others.

However, now he hurt her because of his own negligence...

Wu Cheng's eyes flashed, and his eyes turned red. In order to hide his sadness, he coughed dryly and knelt down on the ground with drooping eyebrows: "What mother taught me is that my son is unfilial, and you have been wronged."

Seeing her younger brother kneeling in public, Wu frowned distressedly, and begged softly, "Mother, please let him sit down and talk. It's cold on the ground, and it's easy to get sick if you kneel for a long time."

Yang's heart was also distressed, but when she thought that Mrs. Pan and Pan Yunchen were coming, she had no choice but to make Wu Cheng kneel and talk, so she said coldly: "Just kneel and talk, I can't die..." Turned slightly Looking at Huo Tianyou again, he said: "Second Young Master, just ask whatever you want. If this naughty son doesn't answer well, don't be too polite. Don't worry, deal with him."

Huo Tianyou gave a dry cough in embarrassment.

Mrs. Yang didn't know that Wu Cheng had sent someone to send a letter to Huo Tianyou, and Huo Tianyou didn't say anything, but just smiled and said to Mrs. Yang: "Old lady, you should let Jinyu get up and talk. Before, nothing was easy to draw conclusions.”

The second master Lu also chimed in and said, "Yes, what the second young master said is right. This matter still needs to be investigated before making a conclusion. If it is really Jinyu's fault, then let's admit it. What if it's not Jinyu's fault? Wouldn't it be a good man wronged?"

"Yes, yes, yes, you'd better let him get up and talk, he's not a prisoner." As she said, she got up and went to help Wu Cheng herself, and said distressedly: "Look, I haven't seen you for a few days, everyone is thin You must have not eaten well, right?"

"Hey, look at this distressed one. He hasn't eaten? I think he's eating well." Suddenly there was an extremely shrill female voice from outside. Also my poor daughter..."

Mrs. Pan led Pan Yunchen to lift the curtain and enter.

Mrs. Pan was dressed in a purple beige, with two red gold hairpins inserted obliquely on her head. Her hair was combed meticulously. It was obvious that she hadn't fallen asleep yet.

Behind her, Pan Yunchen looked a bit fragile, wearing a moon-white embroidered gardenia thong, the ornaments on his head were simple and simple, with only a mahogany hairpin on his head, he kept his head down when he came in, looking delicate If so, it is harmless to humans and animals.

Under such a harmless appearance, who can see that there is a little devil hiding.

Lu Shuyi looked at their mother and daughter calmly.

Mrs. Pan obviously didn't realize that Huo Tianyou was also there, she just saw Mrs. Wu pulling Wu Cheng up from the ground, she raised her eyebrows, stepped forward and grabbed Wu Cheng's arm, her movements were very agile , it can be seen that she does not play tricks once or twice on weekdays, it must be more times to have such skills.

"...Okay, Mr. Wu, you have been hiding for so many days, and you can be regarded as showing your face." Mrs. Pan's tone and demeanor did not have the demeanor of a housewife and a housewife, but she looked like a street shrew.

The deeper Lu Shuyi's brows became, the more she felt that the origin of the Pan family was very strange.

It stands to reason that to have the property of the Pan family, the women who marry into the door should have both ability and political integrity. Even if they can play tricks, they shouldn't go to other people's houses to make trouble. The wife did just that.

That's why the details of the Pan family are even more suspicious.

She glanced at Huo Tianyou quietly, who knew that Huo Tianyou was also looking at her, which made her blush.

She hurriedly opened her eyes, and heard Wu's cold voice: "Mrs. Pan, please show some respect. After all, this is the Wu family, not your Pan family."

"What's wrong with the Wu family?" Mrs. Pan didn't take it seriously, raised her eyebrows and said, "Who made your younger brother do something wrong to our fifth son. Our fifth son is only so old, how could he have the heart to do it..."

Pan Yunchen behind him lowered his head even lower, and his figure was trembling, which was very pitiful.

Lu Shuyi looked at that figure, but felt a chill.
