Chapter 62

"What, did Wang Yuanwai ask me to go to his house to do something?"

Fang Yao came back full of thoughts, and before she had time to think about the countermeasures, she heard Li Fugui say that the palace sent someone to spread the word.

Since the brief encounter with Wang Yuanwai today, and Fan Chen also mentioned him specifically, Fang Yao is very resistant to this person.

Without thinking about it, she said, "No."

A Wu Niang, who had been lying on the bed and refused to move all day, was willing to drag her still injured body to her room.

"Master, Wang Yuanwai said that the reward for this ceremony is 100 taels of silver! When the time comes, you can just go there and act casually, and the money will be yours."

A Wu Niang gritted her teeth in pain, and did not forget to persuade her.

Dabao hummed softly, "Auntie doesn't want to go, we already have money now."

"There's no reason to think there's too much money." A Wu Niang was in a hurry, "Your mother's illness also needs to be treated with money."

Fang Yao's complexion changed slightly, and she turned to look at Jiang Shi. The latter seemed to have never heard of it, but just gestured with the cloth.

It seems that I should not have heard it.

Fang Yao quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but glared at A Wu Niang, who looked back innocently, completely unaware of what she had caused Fang Yao's dissatisfaction.

Ah Wu Niang wanted to say more, but Li Fugui finally stood up and interrupted: "I also think it's better not to go, you haven't seen that Wang Yuanwai today, the look in our master's eyes is really malicious."

"what……"

A Wu Niang was stunned, and then she was ecstatic, "Didn't Wang Yuanwai just die with his wife and concubine, then if our master marries in, he will be the mistress of the house!"

"..."

The room was as silent as death, and before Fang Yao's face turned completely green, Li Fugui and A Wu kept holding A Wu Niang and left.

Seeing that Fang Yao's complexion was not good, the others didn't dare to stay any longer, and slipped out one after another.

Only Fang Yao, Jiang Shi, Dabao and Xiaomei were left in the room.

"Auntie, I don't want you to marry that Wang Yuanwai, he is old and ugly!" Dabao hugged Fang Yao nervously.

"Dabao, don't talk nonsense! Don't listen to the nasty things the patriarch's grandma said!" Only then did Jiang put down her work and said with a serious face.

Dabao nodded, his little face was full of grievances.

Fang Yao scolded A Wu Niang in her heart, touched Dabao's hairy little head, comforted him a few words, and then went back to her room with a heavy heart.

Sitting on the bed, she thought of the ink Gu worm that Fan Chen was talking about, so she couldn't help but find out the booklet.

Suddenly, she was stunned when she saw the new picture appearing in the brochure.

Whether it was the burning flames or the torrential rain in Liyang County, they were all gone, replaced by a picture of wedding candles!

Fang Yao's heart skipped a beat. In the painting, the bride was wearing a hipa, and she couldn't tell what she looked like, but the very recognizable hostess was Wang Yuanwai who she had only seen today? !
She gasped for breath and stood up abruptly.

Could it be that what Wu Yazui Wu Niang said is true, she will marry that Wang Yuanwai in the future? !
Fang Yao immediately picked up the booklet and stared fiercely at the black ink lines in the painting, wondering if her eyes were too fierce, the happy handkerchief on the bride's head shook slightly.

With a heartbeat, she stretched out her right hand and touched it lightly.

A miraculous thing happened, the hipa on the bride's head fell gently, revealing the face of a strange woman!
It turned out it wasn't me.

Fang Yao let out a long breath, and sat down on the bed again.

Immediately, she frowned tightly and began to observe the painting carefully.

Soon, she discovered the clue.

It is probably because of the fat man. Although the general appearance of Wang Yuanwai in the painting has not changed much, it can still be vaguely seen that he is much younger than he is now.

And that woman, with a dignified and beautiful appearance, naturally cannot be Aunt Liu who just died.

She thought of what the yamen servant had said.

——[This yard once lived with Wang Yuanwai's disfigured wife. 】

In fact, it was the first time she came to this yard, but the brochure remained unchanged at that time, but today this picture suddenly appeared...

It should be related to Wang Yuanwai who came to the courtyard.

Fang Yao thought hard, but she didn't understand why this painting appeared in the brochure. Did she start some hidden plot?

Or is there a new plague monster?
After beating the fish monster yesterday, some inconspicuous gaps in the lower part of her mask were filled.

If one day the mask is perfectly repaired, maybe Fan Chen will no longer be her opponent!

Her heart is both tangled and eager to try.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Wang Yuanwai sent a housekeeper to invite her to the house for the second time, and Fang Yao finally agreed.

She was wearing a mask, and a dozen young and strong men from the village, such as Ah Wu and Gou Wa, were with her.

Li Fugui originally wanted to follow, but Fang Yao stayed behind, and the courtyard still needed a steward.

Revisiting the old place, Fang Yao looked at the large corridors and pavilions that had been burnt beyond recognition, feeling very complicated.

Ah Wu and the others followed behind, equally speechless.

"It's a pity that such a good house burns down."

Hearing what Ah Wu and the others said, they quietly observed Fang Yao's housekeeper along the way, and finally found the topic, and said angrily: "It's all due to the false silent master who suffered a thousand knives, the fire in Liyang County was all planned by him !"

Fang Yao: "Master Silent?"

The housekeeper spat: "Master Wuyan, you are a bad guy who deserves to be hacked to pieces!"

From the housekeeper's resentful words, Fang Yao and the others knew that the reason why Liyang County was flooded in the middle of the night was because the fat monk secretly bought a lot of tung oil, and quietly poured it on several important places in the mansion when no one found out. Even when they fled later, they splashed a lot along the street.

"Why is he doing this?"

Fang Yao's understanding of the fat monk was still that he used the pretext of doing things to try to make money from Aunt Liu.

It turned out that all the money he made was to buy tung oil.

The housekeeper said with a sullen look on his face: "Who knows, this guy has already been taken into prison, and he refuses to open his mouth no matter how much he asks. The county master is so angry that he will ask him to kill him in three days! It's a pity that our master's favorite concubine, Unexplainably died in the fire."

"..."

Fang Yao and Ah Wu looked at each other silently without speaking.

Fang Yao recalled the scene of Aunt Liu frantically trying to snatch her mask, and thought to herself, there really are many mysteries hidden in the king's mansion that she has not discovered.

Otherwise, why would a concubine be so obsessed with her mask strangely.

Fang Yao decided to take the opportunity to inquire more, she smiled at the butler through the mask: "Wang Yuanwai used to let Aunt Liu walk around in the outer room, she must have been an unusual person before?"

Unexpectedly, a trace of disdain flashed in the housekeeper's eyes very quickly, "That's not true, Aunt Liu used to be just a juggler who followed the troupe. She came to Liyang County to sing an opera a year ago, and was favored by our master, so she stayed." come down."

As he spoke, he looked at Fang Yao with a knowing smile on his face.

"Our grandpa is used to being the one who loves people the most. If anyone marries him in the future, he will definitely enjoy endless glory and wealth..."

Fang Yao felt as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly when she heard the meaningful words.

 My head is dizzy, I don't know what I wrote...
