Chapter 192 Solution
Chapter 192 Solution
"What Yue Niang said is right." Du Wenxiu opened the curtain and came out, leaving the child in the room to be coaxed to sleep by Qi Sanniang.
Seeing her come out, Fan Chengyi hurriedly stood up to greet her. Du Wenxiu found a chair and sat down, and then he returned to his seat.
"If you are not too busy at home, you might as well bring Qiao'er and her daughter over."
"I'm not saying that you can't live without money on a daily basis, not to mention that your Fan family is deeply rooted. I don't know how much grievance my sister has to endure over there because she has no money."
These words made Fan Chengyi blush and he stammered and couldn't speak.
"I'm not blaming you. When Qiao'er married you, it was true that we married above our station. But things are different now. If Fang Hai were still here, he would certainly not want to see his sister suffer."
"Now Fang Hai and Qiao'er are the closest to me. We can't just live a good life and watch Qiao'er worry about the return gift every day."
Fan Chengyi clenched his fist and was about to speak, but was suppressed by Du Wenxiu again:
"If you think I'm too strong and don't want us to have too much contact, then this time when you leave, bring some things back with my daughter Qiao'er. It doesn't matter if she keeps them for herself or gives them to others. It will at least give her some leeway."
Fan Chengyi pursed his lips and then said:
"Sister-in-law, I know that you are doing this for the good of me and Qiao Niang, but my parents are still here, so I won't travel far away. If I travel, I must have a plan. I have to go back and discuss this with my parents before I can make a decision."
Du Wenxiu knew that what he said made sense, so he nodded and stopped insisting. He only asked him to stay for two days before leaving and not to be impatient.
Fan Chengyi hurriedly nodded in response.
Du Wenxiu looked at Lu Dawei who was pretending to be mute. After a long while, he sighed and said:
"If you stare at my sister like that, even if she has some feelings for you, she will be scared away."
"Sister-in-law, what do you mean? Our sister also has feelings for me?"
Lu Dawei looked delighted and leaned forward to ask, which made Du Wenxiu choke and she didn't know what to say.
After a while, she took a deep breath and said unhappily:
"I don't know if my sister has feelings for you, but you always look like a sex-hungry ghost. No girl would dare to approach you."
Lu Dawei then sat back down, grinning and saying, "I didn't want to be like this, but the girl was so pretty that I fell in love with her at first sight."
"Even when we were fighting on the battlefield, I thought I was going to die many times. But I couldn't let my sister fall into the hands of that heartless man, so I managed to survive."
"Hehe, sister-in-law, I don't know how to talk either, but I'm going to say this today. Apart from my sister, there is no one else in my heart. Sister-in-law, don't worry that I'm betraying her."
Du Wenxiu felt sad when she heard his words and saw the shadowy figures outside the window, so she couldn't help but sigh again.
"My sister still has nearly two years of mourning. You are old and have military merits. I don't know how many people are eyeing you and want to snatch you as their son-in-law."
"Sister-in-law, I have made my words so clear, why are you still worried? My sister is in mourning, I will wait for her."
Lu Dawei said in a rough voice: "To be honest with you, sister-in-law, someone tried to win me over and wanted to marry his daughter and niece to me. I said that my hometown had arranged the marriage and we would get married only after the mourning period was over."
There was a rustling sound outside the window, and Yue Niang hurried out to take a look. It turned out that Du Wenchan had knocked over the broom that was standing there while walking. When she saw Yue Niang coming out, she lowered her head and stepped aside.
Yue Niang did not say anything, but smiled and went back to complain: "I don't know when the neighbor's cat came here and caused so much noise."
"Since you are interested, I will discuss it with Auntie. Just wait a few days and I will give you a definite answer."
Du Wenxiu spoke carefully, and Lu Dawei was quick-witted at this moment. He quickly stood up, bowed and nodded.
"But you have to give me definite answer." Du Wenxiu looked at him straight. Lu Dawei felt his scalp tingling, but he didn't dare to refuse.
"Sister-in-law, it's not that I don't want to, it's just that I can't. There are some things that we know clearly in our hearts, so why do we have to say them out loud? It's not nice at all."
Lu Dawei was practicing Tai Chi with her, but he was complaining in his heart.
Perhaps knowing that he was not someone who could keep secrets, Lu Fanghai never consulted with him before taking any action, and he only found out about it after this incident.
He was originally determined to find out the truth and take revenge on Lu Fanghai, which caused him a lot of trouble. It was not until Fan Chengyi found him and hinted at him several times that he came to his senses.
Now that Du Wenxiu wanted to ask, he just glanced at Fan Chengyi, but saw that boy lowered his head to drink tea, covering his face with the tea bowl, and did not move his head for a long time.
Du Wenxiu saw their little actions and understood a little bit about it. Anyway, there was no rush for this matter.
After chatting for a few more words, they sent the two to rest in the front yard.
"In fact, I think that instead of focusing on Lu Dawei, you should find out more about Fan Chengyi."
Yue Niang thought for a moment and said to Du Wenxiu.
Du Wenxiu looked at her in confusion and asked the reason.
"When we met him in Beijing, he was being beaten by a group of beggars. They said that his money was stolen and they assigned him a task."
"Tell me, who could take his money and send him on a mission?"
Du Wenxiu suddenly realized and said with a smile: "No wonder he kept silent when I mentioned it. I guess he was afraid that I would find out something was wrong and ask him about it, and he couldn't avoid it."
"That's right." Yue Niang nodded with a smile, and said that it was getting late and she had to go home.
Du Wenxiu tried to keep her, but she declined, saying that she couldn't stand her baby crying at night.
"You'd better let me go! Besides, we have to keep an eye on what's going on at the Chi family."
Du Wenxiu had no choice but to send her out, and told the people who followed her to take good care of her, and promised to come back tomorrow.
It was already midsummer, and the cicadas were chirping incessantly, making people feel annoyed.
Du Wenxiu wanted to follow the example of that wealthy family and sent people to catch cicadas, but he felt that this was a wasteful act.
On the way back, she kept thinking, if it was Lu Fanghai's secret, why did everyone from Yulan to the Chi family, Lu Dawei to Fan Chengyi know about it.
Even I didn't keep it a secret, so could it be that this matter should only be hidden from the emperor?
In other words, the King of England's strength is not as weak as it appears above the surface, but has long been deeply rooted beneath the surface, so he is not afraid of those close to him knowing it?
Once you have doubts in your mind, if you expand them outward, there will be many things that can explain them.
such as--
The current county magistrate of Dongxing County.
Although they only met once, he was considered diligent and caring for the people. However, the emperor was keeping an eye on people related to Lu Fanghai, but he was secretly protecting them.
Could it be that the emperor had never had any doubts for so long?
It would be better to ask Lu Dawei and the other two in detail tomorrow to see if they know anything about the inside story.
If you don't know, you might have to meet the county magistrate once and tell him the ins and outs of this.
Having made up his mind, Du Wenxiu went into the inner room and saw Qi Sanniang had already coaxed Haisheng to sleep. She packed up and went back when she saw him coming.
