Chapter 498 Deadline
Xue Ning specially brought the servant over this time, and immediately asked the servant to come to inquire.
Xiao Wu looked at the strange servant in front of him, shook his head and said: "My young master is not at home, if you have something to do, please hand over your name card, and I will pass it on to my young master."
"My master wants to see Young Master Chu. Since Young Master Chu is not at home, let's visit him next time."
Naturally, no more name cards would be sent. The servant got the answer, and left without saying anything.
Xiao Wu looked at the back of the servant leaving, scratched his head, his eyes were full of doubts.
Why did so many strangers suddenly come to Chu Zhuang today?
"Young master Yun and the others are right. It seems that many people are staring at the young master."
Xiao Wu closed the door, full of vigilance in his heart, he had to be extremely careful, absolutely not allowing anyone to take advantage of his loopholes.
"What, didn't Chu Zhuang come back? Where did he go?"
When Yu Wenyu heard the news, her face turned ugly.
After waiting for Chu Zhuang for a whole day today, but still not being able to see each other, how could she not be depressed.
"Mr. Chu has always been a low-key person. He would never participate in poetry gatherings on weekdays. He has never heard of rumors that he went to brothels and red houses to support those whores. I don't know where he went." Xue Ning frowned. Lock, which is also very embarrassing.
Although Chu Zhuang is well-known, he is really extremely mysterious.
Generally, such talents are more or less flirtatious. Brothels and red houses are regular customers, and many prostitutes are willing to receive them for free, just asking them to write poems for themselves to increase their reputation.
If Chu Zhuang goes to these places, there will definitely be a big commotion, and it will not be as flat as it is now.
It's just that this man doesn't return home at night, and doesn't go to these romantic places. Where he went is really a mystery!
"I only have seven days to come out this time, and I will return to the palace after seven days. If I can't see Mr. Chu during this period, Xue Ning, there is no need for you to continue to follow me."
Yu Wenyu looked at Xue Ning coldly and threatened: "There will be no useless people around me!"
Xue Ning is not the only lady in the Xue family who wants to be by Yu Wenyu's side. If Xue Ning can't be used by her, Yu Wenyu will naturally not keep her!
Since ancient times, the royal family has always been ruthless.
It was only at this moment that Xue Ning finally understood this point.
Even though she has been by Yu Wenyu's side since she was a child, Yu Wenyu still treats her like a dog.
No, even if you have a dog, you should have feelings for it after so many years, and you don't just throw it away if you don't say it.
Yu Wenyu was just using her as a tool, if it was useful, he would keep it by his side, and if it didn't work, he would just kick her away.
However, Xue Ning had no choice, she had to stay by Yu Wenyu's side.
Only in this way can she stabilize her position in Xue's family and make her grandfather and father think highly of her.
Especially as she was getting older, she was going to discuss marriage soon, and being a playmate of the princess would also allow her to find a good husband-in-law.
Even though Yu Wenyu treated her so unkindly, Xue Ning could only lick her face and continue to stay by her side.
"Young Master Chu, we can arrange for people to go to nearby people to inquire about it. Someone should know where Young Master Chu is going."
Xue Ning wiped the cold sweat off her forehead, her brain was running fast, and said: "Besides, besides Li Chun, Yunmengxi's other friend is his cousin Yunli."
"Li Chun is not easy to attack, but I know Yun Li. As long as we give her a little bit of sweetness, she can easily be used by us. At that time, we can use her to find out the whereabouts of Young Master Chu from Yunmengxi. .”
Xue Ning was really frightened by Yu Wenyu, racked all her brains, and said all the ways she could think of.
It's just that Xue Ning's news is a little behind. She still doesn't know that Yun Chaofeng has been kicked out of the Yun family, and the relationship between Yun Li and Yun Mengxi has broken down.
Yu Wenyu listened to Xue Ning's words, thought about it for a while, and felt that it was quite useful, so she nodded and said: "Then I will leave this matter to you."
Seeing Yu Wenyu's satisfied expression, Xue Ning breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't dare to waste time, and immediately asked her subordinates to go to the houses around the Chu residence to inquire about Chu Zhuang's whereabouts.
Chu Zhuang lived in Yongren Lane. He paid a high price to buy this house not only because the house was good, but also because the surrounding environment was good.
There are some scholars living in the surrounding area. Although they know that Chuzhuang lives here, they all abide by the etiquette and rarely come to disturb them, let alone ask where Chuzhuang is going.
All the people Xue Ning sent out to inquire about the news returned without success.
"It seems that I can only listen to Yun Li."
Xue Ning and Yu Wenyu left for the time being, Xue Ning did not return to Xue's mansion, but booked a whole inn for Yu Wenyu to live in.
After asking the maid to clean the inside and outside of the room, and replace it with new furniture and bedding, Yu Wenyu was willing to step into the room.
Yu Wenyu has been busy all day, and she is very tired now. She glanced at Xue Ning and said: "I will give you a day to find out the whereabouts of Mr. Chu."
"Yes, Your Royal Highness!"
Xue Ning didn't dare to refuse, so she quickly agreed.
After Yu Wenyu rested, Xue Ning asked the maid to take good care of her, and then dragged her tired and painful body to the next room.
"Miss, you are seriously injured."
Zhu'er, Xue Ning's personal maid, was applying medicine to Xue Ning, looking at the wound on her body, and said distressedly.
"It's just a scrape, the doctor said it won't leave a scar if you apply the medicine properly."
Xue Ning shook her head, as if she had covered her face with her hands, she was lucky that her face was not injured.
"Zhu'er, do you know where Yun Li lives?" Xue Ning asked.
Yun Li is just a small character, Xue Ning naturally doesn't know where she lives.
"This servant doesn't know."
Zhu'er thought for a while and said, "Your maidservant, go and inquire about it."
"Well, the time is urgent. The princess only gave me one day. I must see Yun Li tomorrow morning." Xue Ning nodded and instructed.
"Miss, don't worry, I will go back to the manor tonight to inquire. The maids at home will always know where Miss Yun's family lives." Zhu'er said immediately.
Xue Ning tossed and tossed for a day, half of her life was gone, and she had to serve Yu Wenyu, a delicate princess, she was exhausted physically and mentally, now insisted on telling Zhu'er, and immediately fell asleep.
Zhu'er covered Xue Ning with a quilt and was guarded, and then hurried back to the mansion in the dark.
……
Although Jingheng asked Chu Lianqing to go down the mountain as soon as possible to avoid arousing suspicion, Chu Lianqing still stayed in Xiangguo Temple for two consecutive days just to be on the safe side.
Because of the comfort of the Golden Buddha in the past two days, Chu Lianqing slept very peacefully, and the light vegetarian food also played a good role in recuperating his body.
After eating well and sleeping soundly, Chu Lianqing's expression improved visibly with the naked eye.
"Master looks much more energetic today." Looking at Chu Lianqing's appearance, Chu Nan couldn't help but said.
Chu Lianqing touched his chest with a smile. After half a year of fear, he could finally feel relieved.
"Sure enough, Master Jingheng is extraordinary as soon as he makes a move. If I had known this, I should have gone to him when I first came to Dongfeng Mansion." Chu Lianqing said with a sigh.
"The master's mind was all on the golden Buddha at that time, so he naturally had no time to take care of other things."
Chu Nan comforted: "Fortunately, everything is going well now. The master not only restrained the female ghost, but also promoted him to a higher rank. Now he is the servant of the Ministry of Rites."
"Ha ha!"
When Chu Lianqing heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
This is the first time he has laughed badly in more than half a year.
"Master, the big one is solved, the little one..."
As Chu Lianqing's confidant, Chu Nan naturally knew what was on Chu Lianqing's mind, and reported immediately: "The eldest young master is now a well-known talent in Dongfeng Mansion, and he has also received a yellow jacket from the emperor. When the young master is engaged to the eldest son of the Yun family, if the young master grows up, he will inevitably avenge his mother..."
These news are not secret. After the Yuanxi banquet, the whole Dongfeng mansion was full of uproar.
After Chu Nan knew these things, he kept it in his heart and didn't report it to Chu Lianqing. He didn't mention it until Chu Lianqing solved the matter of the female ghost.
They all knew very well that Chu Lianqing had absolutely nothing to do with Bai Wanting's death.
Otherwise, Bai Wanting would not come back for revenge.
Chu Zhuang was thrown in the countryside since he was a child, and even though they had never seen it with their own eyes, they knew it well.
Originally, if Chu Zhuang had spent his whole life doing nothing in the countryside, Chu Lianqing would have had no such son.
But who knew that Chu Zhuang was just hiding and clumsy before, and when his wings hardened, he immediately broke away from Chu Lianqing's control and came to Dongfeng Mansion to shine.
If Chu Zhuang really grows up, it's hard to guarantee that he won't attack Chu Lianqing.
"Don't worry about dealing with Chu Zhuang. After all, I am his biological father, and now I am the Minister of Rites. No matter what, he won't be able to find the palm of my hand."
Chu Lianqing frowned. According to his temperament, he would definitely want to attack Chu Zhuang impatiently instead of forbearing like now.
The main reason was that he was still a little worried, so he decided to wait for a while, and when he was sure that the "female ghost" would not come again, he would attack Chu Zhuang again!
"By the way, just now you said that Chu Zhuang is engaged to the eldest son of the Yun family?"
Chu Lianqing was stunned, almost ignoring the news, and asked Chu Nan.
"Yes, master, the eldest son of the champion Hou family has an incomparably noble status, but it is rumored that he is ugly and shameless." Chu Nan said immediately.
"Hehe! Ugly, even such an ugly Shuang Er Chu Zhuang accepted, let alone such a prince?"
There was a sneering smile on the corner of Chu Lianqing's lips. He also took a look at Yunmengxi. To him, it was ugly and unsightly, and it did not conform to his aesthetics at all.
Chu Zhuang and Yunmengxi's engagement, in his opinion, must be Chu Zhuang's desire to cling to the power of the Yun family.
