Chen Mu rummaged through his memory and found some broken silver from the bottom of the box. He weighed it and found that it was about twenty-three-four taels.
For a young master in the Xuanguo Mansion, this amount of money was obviously too meager and was not enough to go to the Flower House, but for ordinary people, this amount of money was enough for several years.
Put away the money.
Chen Mu came outside the hospital.
The only servant, Ren Yan, was cleaning the snow in the courtyard. When he saw him coming out, he immediately put down the broom in his hand, showed a smile and saluted politely: "Good morning, Second Master!"
Chen Mu took a few steps forward and asked directly: "Do you know Cui'er?"
Ren Yan was surprised, but still responded: "Cui'er? But that maid of the Third Young Master of the South Courtyard, why did the Second Master suddenly ask about her?"
Chen Mu didn't explain, and said directly: "What's the specifics?"
A little strangeness flashed in Ren Yan's eyes, but he still responded: "It was ten days ago. It is said that he seduced the master during the day and was hanged to death on the order of the eldest lady..."
"Could it be that the guy who met a ghost that night was the second master? But it's really abominable. He dared to deceive the master even after he died. I know where she is buried. Second master, just say something and I went to dig that guy's grave."
!”
Listen to Ren Yan's description.
Chen Mu looked coldly and ignored him, but continued: "Then where are her family members, do you know?"
"This little one happened to know the small house on the northernmost side of Qianping Street."
Ren Yan answered quickly.
Chen Mu nodded slightly, looked at him deeply, and then walked out of the yard.
This sight made Ren Yan's heart skip a beat, and he felt a little fear for no reason. When he came back to his senses, he found that his hands were trembling.
Originally, he wanted to step forward to stop him, but this time he didn't dare to stop him at all.
"This... the look in Second Master's eyes today is a bit scary..."
Ren Yan's heart was pounding for a while.
He was afraid that Chen Muzhen would ask him to dig graves and exhume corpses, but he really didn't dare!
The most he could do was sneak around on weekdays and deduct a little of Chen Mu's monthly money, but he didn't dare to deduct too much. He only found some excuses to take away two-thirds, and he still handed over a share honestly.
"I'm afraid I have to go and have a look."
Ren Yan looked at the direction Chen Mu left and thought for a while.
Chen Mu survived this time and did not die, which is a good thing. Such a master is not so easy to find.
This suddenly seemed like he was going to cause trouble for Cui'er's family, but he didn't dare to let Chen Mu go by himself. If something happened outside, it would be completely different from dying at home before!
As a servant, he must be responsible, and I am afraid he will have to be killed with a rod.
"Two naughty wild girls, not even a soul in broad daylight."
Ren Yan couldn't help but cursed secretly while chasing in the direction of Chen Mu.
Xiaomei and Xiaofeng, Xiaomei still has some sense, but Xiaofeng is really stupid. Her master is still here, so she goes to flatter other masters. After all, she is a stupid woman.
He didn't bother to wake him up, as long as he wouldn't be implicated.
…
Chen Mu followed his memory and left Xuanguo Mansion.
He was familiar with Qianping Street. He would often go there for a walk in the past. It was also very close to Xuanguo Mansion.
It was a bit strange for a young master of Xuanguo Mansion to visit the house of a hanged maid, but he didn't care too much. On the one hand, he had encountered ghosts before, and on the other hand, if he really encountered any trouble, he would take the initiative
If you expose your abilities and use your spiritual vision, many problems can be easily solved.
In the entire Great Yuan Dynasty, with a population of hundreds of millions, the number of magicians would not exceed three digits. As far as he knew, the magicians of the Great Yuan Dynasty were all concentrated in Si Tiantai, and the entire Si Tiantai only had a few hundred people in its heyday.
Monitor the spiritual feng shui of the world.
And he can become one of them at any time.
Ever since he gained the ability of spiritual vision, he was no longer an ordinary bastard.
Walked along Qianping Street for a while.
soon.
Chen Mu came to the area Ren Yan mentioned.
After a few simple inquiries, I found out where Cui'er's home was.
After a while, Chen Mu followed the snow-covered road and entered a somewhat narrow alley. After twists and turns, he came to a small house.
Chen Mu stepped forward and knocked on the door.
soon.
The door was opened a crack, revealing a small face with some pot dust stuck on it, but still somewhat delicate, and he looked like he was only about ten years old.
There seemed to be fear in the little girl's eyes. After seeing Chen Mu, she did not open the door, but timidly said: "You... who are you?"
Chen Mu looked at her gently and said, "Is this Liu Cui's home?"
"Yes, it's my sister."
Liu Lian responded timidly, as if she felt Chen Mu's gentleness and gradually felt better.
Chen Mu said softly: "I am from the Duke of Xuan's mansion. You can just call me Mr. Mu. I wonder if your mother is here? I heard that she has been ill in bed for a long time, so I asked the doctor to come over."
Liu Lian's big eyes showed a little surprise. He peeked through the crack in the door and looked next to Chen Mu, and saw a doctor carrying a medicine box on his back.
She didn't know how to respond for a moment, so she turned around and ran inside, shouting softly.
"mother!"
Chen Mu waited quietly.
After a while.
I heard the sound of running from far to near, and then the sound of the door bolt shaking. Then the closed door was slowly opened, revealing a little girl wearing a shabby cotton-padded jacket behind the door.
"Please, please come in..."
Liu Lian timidly opened her mouth and then led the way.
The house was very small, and a short walk inside was the bedroom. In the bedroom, a woman was leaning on the bed, leaning on the bed.
The woman looked at Chen Mu who walked in with some astonishment.
"You...you are?"
I thought it was a companion whom Tweetie met in Xuanguo Mansion who came to visit, but when I saw that Chen Mu was well-dressed and clearly looked like a young master, it was obvious that he could not be Tweety's companion.
Chen Mu smiled casually and said, "Old madam, don't worry about it. Let's see a doctor first."
Hearing this, the doctor next to him also stepped forward.
Seeing this, the woman stopped what she was about to say for a moment, and looked at Chen Mu and the doctor with some uneasiness. The doctor looked as normal and quickly looked at the patient.
"This is the cold accumulated in the bones, and it has been for a long time, and it is difficult to eradicate. However, I have one side. After half a month of recuperation, I can walk with a cane."
The doctor spoke cautiously.
Chen Mu nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead and write the prescription."
Then Chen Mu looked at the woman again, expressed condolences to her, and learned from her mouth that Cui'er's father died in a catastrophe the year before last. After his death, the family became difficult to maintain, so Cui'er took the initiative to sell herself to Xuanguo Mansion to serve as a supporter of the family.
My maid often helps the family with monthly money, and she has been here for two years.
The woman finally cried and said that Cui'er would never be so dissolute and do things like seducing her master during the day.
Chen Mu was silent for a while, then turned to look at Liu Lian.
The little girl is only ten years old, but she is already very pretty, with big eyes that are very smart, but she is also very timid, and she stays there timidly most of the time.
Originally, Chen Mu planned to buy Cui'er's sister and take care of her, but he didn't expect Liu Lian to be so young, and besides the old woman, only Liu Lian was left in the family.
