Chen Feng sat down next to Fu Zhao, held Fu Zhao's hand and put it on his knee.
The two were silent, and no one spoke for a while.
After a while, Chen Feng said calmly: "Go to sleep, I will be very busy tomorrow."
He already knew what happened in Chen Xin's yard, so he didn't want to comment too much.
Fu Zhao hummed, and the two of them rested.
He's courtyard was very close, and noises coming from there could be heard from time to time. Fu Zhao didn't sleep very well.
At the same time, the yard of Mrs. Feng, the mother of Pingle County Lord, was still brightly lit.
Mrs. Feng sent several groups of people out, but no sign of the Pingle County Lord was found.
And the darker it gets, the harder it is to find places in the wilderness.
Mrs. Feng was extremely anxious. She looked at Nanny Ji and said, "Go to the Hou Mansion again and ask the He family. If this continues, even if Pingle is safe and sound outside, she is not there yet.
If word spreads about her getting married and not returning home after a night, she will no longer want to be a woman!"
The reputation of the Lord of Pingle County has already been ruined, and it cannot continue to be so bad.
Otherwise, it will only make matters worse, and the title of the county leader may not be preserved.
Mother Ji grimaced, "I went to the Hou Mansion again, but I heard that a concubine and concubine of the third young master of the Hou Mansion died. I'm afraid the third young master's wife is very busy now."
Mrs. Feng was surprised, "The concubine and the concubine died together?"
Mother Ji nodded seriously.
Mrs. Feng clicked her tongue twice, the concubine and the concubine died together, there must be something fishy about it.
She also knew that Mr. He was jealous and small-minded, so I was afraid that this matter had something to do with Mr. He.
The He family is now in dire straits, so how come they still have time to take care of the affairs of Pingle County Lord?
Mrs. Feng had no choice but to give up the idea of looking for He, and sent several groups of people out to look for the Lord of Pingle County.
The next day, the head of Pingle County was found, but not by the Feng family.
Early in the morning, a carriage stopped at the city gate, blocking the road to the city gate.
There were many people going out of the city in the morning. When the people saw that the road was blocked, they angrily went to argue with the people on the carriage.
Opening the door of the carriage, everyone saw a sleeping girl lying inside. The girl's clothes were messy, which aroused people's imagination.
Some men with ill intentions wanted to take a few more glances, but their wives carried them away by the ears.
People coming in and out of the city came in waves, and they all gathered around the carriage.
Those outside the crowd were particularly curious about what was in the carriage, and they all wanted to squeeze in.
It wasn't until the sun came up that someone said, "Isn't this the Lord of Pingle County?"
Everyone was shocked, "Master Pingle County? How could such a noble person be alone in the carriage? Did you see it wrong?"
"It's not wrong. I measured and cut the clothes for Lord Pingle County back then. I won't admit that I'm wrong!"
The Feng family, who were looking for the Lord of Pingle County outside the city, heard the people surrounding the carriage seem to be saying the name of the Lord of Pingle County.
The boys from the Feng family went over to find out.
They made a way through the crowd and squeezed to the side of the carriage, where they could see the people inside at a glance.
The young men of the Feng family were all shocked. They didn't expect that the county master they had been searching for all night would be lying in this carriage?
Seeing that the onlookers were talking more and more disgracefully, the young man from the Feng family hurriedly drove the carriage into the city.
Anyone who gossips will follow the carriage to the capital.
They were also curious as to whether the person in the carriage was the Lord of Pingle County.
*
Mrs. Feng was so excited that she stood up when she heard the news that Lord Pingle County was back.
She waited so hard all night that her eyes were red.
Mother Ji said with a bitter face: "Madam, the person who came to deliver the message said that the county master... the county master is probably not good..."
Mrs. Feng was shocked and anxious, "What do you mean? Is Pingle injured?"
Mrs. Feng couldn't care so much anymore, so she went to the door of Feng's house in person.
When she rushed to the door of Feng's house, the carriage happened to stop.
Mrs. Feng was very surprised when she saw many people following the carriage.
She pointed at the people behind the carriage and asked, "What are they doing behind the carriage? And this carriage doesn't look like our carriage. Is Pingle really in it?"
Mother Ji shook her head, "I don't know, either."
But she felt that this carriage looked a little familiar.
The Feng family's young man drove the carriage to the door of Feng's house. After they got off the carriage, they stood aside with their heads lowered, not daring to say a word.
Mrs. Feng felt more and more strange. She looked at the boys and walked towards the carriage suspiciously.
She pushed open the carriage door herself and looked inside.
When she only saw the familiar dress on the woman inside, Mrs. Feng was so frightened that she lost her mind.
Mrs. Feng's legs went weak and she fell on top of the maid.
Her face was pale, her lips were trembling, and she could not speak a word.
Mother Ji also took a look inside, and her eyes were red with shock. She couldn't help crying: "My poor..."
Mrs. Feng gave Mother Ji a fierce look, and Mother Ji suppressed the second half of her sentence.
"Hurry up and find a soft sedan!" Mrs. Feng ordered in a low voice.
She finally understood that the people following the carriage came to see the fun.
Now I can’t hide it even if I want to!
But Mrs. Feng was still unwilling to give up, and deliberately raised her voice and said: "Why did my maid appear in the carriage? Please carry her in quickly and call in a doctor."
The soft sedan came over quickly. Several women first covered Pingle County Princess with a quilt, and then took her out of the carriage. Mrs. Feng followed beside her. The Feng family entered the Feng Mansion together, and then opened the door.
Closed.
But those who followed did not believe what Mrs. Feng said at all.
By noon, news about Pingle County Lord had spread throughout the capital.
This matter also spread to the Hou Mansion.
Mr. He was worried about Yue Ji's mother and son.
She was just a concubine and a concubine, so she buried the matter as usual.
But early this morning, Chen Xin came to find her and said that he wanted to give Rose a grand burial according to the rules of an ordinary wife.
He was so angry that her chest hurt, and she had another quarrel with Chen Xin.
Chen Xin pointed at He's nose and angrily said, "Yueji has been with me for so long, and she gave birth to a son for me! As for how my son died, you know it very well!"
He was extremely aggrieved, "You have to provide evidence when you speak! It's because he had a sudden illness and didn't get through it. What does it have to do with me? If they are really anxious, they can go out of the house to find a doctor! But they will be reprimanded.
They didn't even dare to have a meal! It shows that they were homeless at the time."
Chen Xin was so angry that he wanted to slap Mr. He. His eyes were red and he said angrily: "It's come to this time and you still refuse to tell the truth! I'm going to tell my mother now that I want to divorce my wife!"
Chen Xin slammed the door and left angrily.
"Go ahead and say it! Let's see if mother will listen to you!" He chased after Chen Xin and cursed at Chen Xin's back.
