Chapter 125 Childhood Friendship Brothers and Sisters

Chapter 125 Childhood Friendship Brothers and Sisters

"Madam, do you feel that something is wrong with the eldest lady's family?" Jun Tao lowered her voice. "The fourth young lady has been missing for so many days. Except for the first time when the eldest lady was worried, she didn't seem to be so worried later. Although the second master is still imprisoned and beaten every day, she has not mentioned the disappearance of the fourth young lady again. Even the eldest young lady and the young master no longer send people out to look for her. Isn't this very strange?"

After listening to Jun Tao's words and thinking about the behavior of the eldest family in recent days, the old lady also felt that something was wrong.

"It doesn't look like they have lost their daughter. Could it be that they have found her? But where is she?"

"I heard something." Jun Tao told the old lady, "The carpenter's shop received a batch of materials. Didn't they come to the mansion this morning to ask if they were suitable for making beds? I went to take a look and heard about it on the street. I wanted to tell the old lady when I got back, but unfortunately, the person who delivered the invitation to the banquet arrived before I could say anything."

All the things in the old lady's room had been moved away by Lian Shi. Now they were using old things moved from the warehouse of the general's mansion. Although the wood was good, it was old after all, and the bed creaked every time they lay down on it.

Jun Tao had already made an appointment with a carpenter to make a new couch, but the shop didn't have any suitable wood at the moment. A batch of wood arrived today, so he came over and asked her to pick out which one she wanted.

Jun Tao told the old lady, "Because many people looked for the fourth young lady on the night of the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the eldest young lady led people to look for her, and the prefect of Lin'an seemed to have looked for her as well, so the news that the fourth young lady was missing on her way back to the capital after burning incense was spread. The two people talking on the street were obviously servants of some official residence. They said that when they were serving tea, they heard his master say that during a morning court session a few days ago, someone mentioned that the second master kept asking for leave, and then followed up with the story that the fourth young lady of the Ye family was missing. Just when people were saying that it would be bad to find a lost girl, the fourth prince who had been to our house suddenly appeared and said that he invited the fourth young lady to drink tea on the night of the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month. I don't understand why it was said that the fourth young lady was missing just for drinking tea."

The old lady pondered Jun Tao's words, and a picture almost appeared in her mind -

In the court, everyone was criticizing, but the Fourth Prince stepped forward and acted as a hero to save the beauty.

"Drinking tea together! Drinking tea together late at night..." The old lady laughed as she spoke, "Drinking tea together, and he didn't come back after drinking. He hasn't come back until now, and he even admitted it in front of so many people. Well, this is good."

The old lady who pretended to faint finally sat up from the couch. The bed creaked a few times and her calf, which was "accidentally" stepped on by Yun Chen, felt a little painful. Her arm, which was knocked down by a servant when she was crossing the threshold, also felt a little painful.

But she no longer cared about so much and was only thinking about Ye Wenyan's whereabouts.

She asked Jun Tao: "You mean, Ye Wenyan is now living in Prince Chen's Mansion?"

Jun Tao shook her head, "I don't know, but no matter whether it is true or not, since the Fourth Prince has already taken on this matter, then he can't be separated from this matter, right?"

The old lady also thought so. Thinking about the day when the Fourth Prince came to the mansion to burn incense, she snorted and said, "He came to the mansion to pay homage in a pretentious manner. He hid our eldest daughter and came to the mansion to pay homage. What was he thinking? But since he has come to the door himself, we can't close the door too tightly, otherwise wouldn't it ruin his good intentions?"

Jun Tao asked, "What does the old lady plan to do?"

The old lady thought for a while and said, "They drank tea from the 15th to the 29th of the twelfth lunar month. I think our fourth daughter has fallen in love with that Prince Chen. Otherwise, who would be willing to live in a man's house for so many days and lose their reputation? So we have to help them."

"The old lady means to bring together the Fourth Prince and the Fourth Miss? But he is also a Prince!"

"So what about His Highness?" The old lady snorted coldly, "This His Highness is different from the others. He is a hostage, sent to Guiyue Country at the age of thirteen. He has no roots in Lin'an, and it's not even certain whether he can stay after returning this time! If this marriage can be facilitated, it's better than leaving that dead girl at home."

The more the old lady spoke, the more she felt that her idea was a good one. As long as it was confirmed that Ye Wenyan had had tea with the Fourth Prince and had stayed overnight in Prince Chen's Mansion, then the Fourth Prince would have to marry Ye Wenyan.

In addition, the Fourth Prince is a student of her eldest son, so the two of them can be considered as childhood sweethearts, and even senior and junior brothers and sisters.

This senior brother and junior sister are a match made in heaven.

Furthermore, she observed that day that Madam Mu's attitude towards the Fourth Prince was quite good, and she must be satisfied with such a man as a son-in-law. If she appealed to his emotions and politely mentioned the teacher-student relationship between the Fourth Prince and the eldest brother, Madam Mu might nod her head. Now what she had to do was to make everyone believe that Ye Wenyan and the Fourth Prince had something going on, so that the Fourth Prince could not deny it, and Ye Wenyan could not argue. As long as the marriage between the two was facilitated, she would be completely relieved.

Yes, it must be done as soon as possible, because there is a great funeral in the family, and Ye Wenyan must be married off within a hundred days, otherwise we have to wait another three years.

She couldn't wait for three years. If Ye Wenyan stayed at home for another three years, she would go crazy or be tortured to death. She had to marry that evildoer off within a hundred days of mourning and put an end to it once and for all.

"While it's still early, you should arrange it as soon as possible." The old lady said to Jun Tao, "Let the maids under your command spread the word that the fourth young lady of the Ye family had tea with His Royal Highness Prince Chen on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and she never came back, and has been living in Prince Chen's mansion ever since. The two were originally senior brothers and sisters, and they had a childhood sweetheart friendship. When the eldest master of the Ye family was still alive, he wanted to match his fourth daughter with his student. But at that time, the fourth young lady of the Ye family was thinking about the sixth prince, so they didn't get together." Jun Tao took over the conversation: "Now that the sixth prince has broken the fourth young lady's heart, it just so happens that the fourth prince has returned to the capital, and the senior brothers and sisters have gathered together. When the past affairs were mentioned, the fourth young lady found that it was this senior brother who really loved her, and it was this senior brother that she really liked in her heart. Then she remembered that her father had mentioned their marriage, and she felt that the senior brother was not an outsider. Although they haven't got married yet, they will live there. It's only a matter of time anyway."

The old lady nodded, very satisfied with Jun Taoshun's story, but still reminded: "Let the maids do this, but make sure it is done without leaving any traces, and don't let people think it was us who spread the rumor. Tomorrow is the New Year, this matter must be handled quickly, and at the latest by noon tomorrow, everyone in the inner city of Lin'an must hear the news. In this way, at the New Year's Palace Banquet, I can mention it to the emperor and ask the emperor to grant them a marriage."

Jun Tao nodded, "Don't worry, old lady, I will do it immediately. As for who leaked the news, no one should suspect us. After all, the Fourth Prince invited the Fourth Miss to have tea on the night of the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month. This was mentioned at the morning court, and other official residences should have known about it long ago. Even I heard about it on the street, which shows that this matter has been widely circulated in Lin'an City. We are just adding more fuel to the fire to make it burn more vigorously."

Jun Tao went to do the work. The old lady sat on the couch and became happier and happier the more she thought about it. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this matter was done very well.

Marry Ye Wenyan to a hostage, and it would be best if the hostage was taken back by Guiyue State, then Ye Wenyan would leave Lin'an City, or even leave Beiqi State. From then on, she could rest easy, and she could still deal with the Mu family, which was the only one left.

The maids were very efficient, and within half a day, the news spread all over the inner city of Lin'an. Even the servants who went out to buy things in the Ye Mansion came back to talk about it, saying that the fourth young lady was not missing, but had gone to live in the Chenwang Palace.

These words gradually reached Mu's ears, and Mu had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, before she could discuss it with Madam Ji, someone from Fuluyuan came over and said that the old lady wanted her to come over to discuss something important. Just after dinner, Mu arrived at Fuluyuan with mixed feelings. From a distance, she saw the old lady, still wearing the new clothes she wore when she was waiting for the banquet, sitting in the front hall talking to the servants.

No one knew what the two little maids were saying, but they made the old lady laugh out loud and she was in a very happy mood.

Seeing her coming, the maid retreated and the old lady sat up straight. Her smiling face suddenly became serious, and she asked Mu gloomily, "Have you heard about what's going on outside?"

Madam Mu shook her head. "My daughter-in-law hasn't left the house for many days, and the servants around me are not the kind of people who like to gossip, so I haven't heard anything. If you have something to say, just say it directly. There's no need to beat around the bush."

The old lady was very angry. He was finding ways to gossip about her people!

Forget it, don't bother with this widow. She has something important to do tonight, so she can't lose her temper at the beginning. The old lady prepared herself mentally, and then said, "At first we all thought that on the night of the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, it was the fourth girl's horse that ran away, and the person was lost along with it. You were sad because of this, and you took it out on your brother-in-law's family. That was my second son. Although I was very sad, I endured it because of your loss of your husband and daughter. But now people outside say that your daughter was not lost at all, but followed the fourth prince to the Chenwang Mansion for tea, and then stayed overnight. Mu Qianqiu, don't you have to give me an explanation for this matter? An unmarried girl lives in a man's house, and you locked up and beat my son in your own house. What on earth do you want to do?"

Mrs. Mu frowned. What did the old lady want to do by dragging the Fourth Prince into this? Shouldn't she be the one to ask?
