Ever since Wu learned that those two scoundrels were still alive, she had no peace of mind.
She couldn't sleep well at night. She put down all the invitations and banquets. She didn't even care about the two concubines competing for favor and Zhang Fu not returning to the room at night.
She wanted to send someone to find out the news, but she was afraid of alarming Zhang Fu and Wang.
Now that Zhang Fu has not gone to the north and is still in the capital, she does not dare to call on people from the Duke's mansion. But she is the Duke's wife, so it is okay to send some people to inquire about the news.
But private matters have to be directed to her natal Wu Mansion.
When Wu's parents heard that those two scoundrels were still alive, they were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths.
"Why are you still alive!"
"Why didn't you kill them all and let them escape? Your mother-in-law is stupid too. She can't even deal with two babies."
The whole family gathered together to discuss the matter, and without any further instructions from the Wu family, the Wu family themselves sent someone to inquire.
The Wu family now relies on the Wu family, the Duke's wife, to move sideways in the capital. The next generation of the Duke is their grandson, so the Wu family can still move sideways.
Can someone take this title away?
cannot.
Wu Youcai immediately sent a group of people to Songjiang.
Songjiang, Gan Yuan's husband's family.
Sun Ze and He didn't take it to heart when they saw her not coming home for the first few days. Gan Yuan got married and returned to her parents' home every three days. Gan Yuan said that she was worried about her younger brother because she was afraid that he would be under the control of her stepmother.
I was wasted and had to go back every three days.
He's mother-in-law was very considerate of her. She didn't want to remarry at first because she was worried that Sun Ze would be wasted by his stepfather. So these years, she preferred to live a hard life as an orphan and a widowed mother, and the mother and son depended on each other, so He didn't remarry.
So Gan Yuan often went back to her parents' home, and He always packed a lot of things for her to take back.
How did she know that it was true that Gan Yuan went back to see her brother, but she still had the intention of going back to cause trouble for the Zhou family and Wu Dayou's family.
It is not easy for Mr. He to be considerate of his daughter-in-law, but Sun Ze, who has been sleeping with her for a long time, can't see that Gan Yuan often runs out because he despises her.
Sun Ze had been looking forward to the wife he had been waiting for for more than twenty years, and his fiery heart gradually faded away.
I didn’t even go to Wu’s house to look for Gan Yuan.
"Son, has Mrs. Gan been back at her parents' house for too long? Go and have a look. If something happens to your in-law's family, you might as well have someone to help you."
"Okay." Sun Ze also felt that Gan Yuan had been back for a long time, so he nodded in agreement, went back to the house, changed clothes, and went to his father-in-law's house.
Mrs. He thought that her son's father-in-law was her biological father-in-law, but her mother-in-law was not her biological father-in-law. There was also a brother-in-law who was still eating at home. She felt sorry for the motherless child and was going to go into the house to get some money for her son to buy something to take with her.
I looked under the suitcase in the house and found that the money bag was missing.
After touching again, there was still nothing. The mother and son took out a suitcase full of clothes and threw them on the bed one by one. They almost shook the clothes to shreds, but there was still nothing.
Only then did I know that my home had been robbed.
Who knew she hid money so secretly? And her clothes were not messed up. The mother and son's hearts were pounding. They looked at each other and ran to Wu's house.
When they arrived at Wu's house, they asked questions and found out that Gan Yuan had been here ten days ago and had not been seen again.
He was so panicked that he fell to the ground.
The two families ran back to Sun's house and rummaged through Gan Yuan and Sun Ze's house. The floor almost toppled over, and then they discovered that Gan Yuan's daily clothes were missing a few pieces, and all his money and jewelry were missing.
Only then did I know something was serious.
Wu Chengye and Zhou remembered that day, when mother and son were cooking in the kitchen, Gan Yuan came out of Gan Cheng's house and saw that she looked sleepy at that time. Mother and son didn't think much about it.
But now, Gan Yuan ran away.
Mrs. Zhou was trembling all over. At this moment, she still didn't understand something.
Her poor girl and poor young master have only had two good days, and now they are being missed by bad people again.
Zhou couldn't stand still and kept gesticulating at Wu Chengye. Wu Chengye's eyes widened and his hands started to shake in panic.
"Mom, I'm going right now!" She stumbled and rushed outside.
Wu Dayou stared blankly, not knowing why, "Don't worry, maybe she just returned to Pingjiang. Let's wait and see. If she doesn't come back, I'll go back to Pingjiang to look for her."
But Mrs. Zhou waved away his hand and looked at him bitterly. If it weren't for him, how could Gan Yuan come to Songjiang and hear such things.
It's all her, it's all her fault, she's mute and hasn't opened the door yet. Her poor girl, she's going to kill her. Mrs. Zhou fell to the ground crying.
Li Yu happened to be in Songjiang and panicked when he heard Wu Chengye's report.
"You mean, your stepsister heard the conversation between you and your mother? Then she ran away with the money and went to the capital to inform?"
Wu Chengye's legs were weak from running, he was breathing heavily, nodding his head repeatedly, and there was sweat on his forehead. He didn't know whether he was running too fast or because he was scared.
Li Yu asked about the situation and realized that the situation was serious.
"Quick, go home and pack your things, I'll send your family away right now!"
Wu Chengye nodded repeatedly, turned around and was about to run away, but Li Yu stopped him again: "Ask your father to tell the Sun family. If you don't want anything to happen, pack your things and hide out. Just say that Gan Yuan has committed something, and let them
Go out and avoid trouble."
Then he put twenty taels of silver into his hand and said, "Ask your father to give it to the Sun family and tell them to stay away. Don't go back to Songjiang for the time being, and don't talk about your family's affairs."
Wu Chengye stuffed the money into his arms and ran away.
On the same day, the Zhou family packed up some belongings and boarded the boat arranged by Li Yu. Only then did the family board the boat, and the boat immediately left Songjiang Pier.
Two days later, people sent by Wu Youcai found Zhou's courtyard.
Seeing that the people in the house were empty, he was so angry that he smashed a lot in the house. He turned around and looked for the workshop managed by Zhou. But the manager of the workshop had already received Li Yu's orders, and Wu Youcai didn't ask anything in the workshop.
Then they went to Guangfeng Water Shop to inquire, and the manager said that the master behind them was the owner of Langguang Pavilion, and they didn't know who arranged for Wu Chengye to come.
Who in the capital doesn't know about Langguang Pavilion? How dare the people sent by the Wu family smash up Langguang Pavilion's shop in Songjiang? Even ten of them wouldn't dare.
A wave of people went to Gan Yuan's husband's house again, and they also emptied the house. They were so angry that they smashed the Sun house to pieces again.
Then go and inquire around the Wu family and Sun family. What can you find out?
People near Zhou's courtyard said that someone came to see Sun before, but they didn't know his last name. Oh, what did you say he looked like? That young man seems to be quite handsome.
A girl and a young master?
No, no, it's two young masters. The other one said, no, it's obviously an older young master, and the two younger masters are very noble.
The son of a princess and the grandson of an emperor, how can he not be noble?
What can be asked about this.
At the Wu family in the capital, the people sent to Songjiang had not returned yet. Wu Youcai sent another group of people secretly to find out which family in the capital had two children, a girl and a boy, one under sixteen years old and one under ten years old.
Then he went to the Yamen to check his household registration.
Wu Youcai had been in the Shibo Department for many years, and he was very popular. The yamen was not big, but it was serious and well-paid. Even the janitor was well-educated.
Even if Wu Youcai has no rank, many people in the capital are fawning over him. Even Master Tiju of Shibosi is willing to give him three points. Who wants to have a sister who is the wife of a princess?
It was very easy for Wu Youcai to check the household register of Jingzhao Mansion Yamen.
