White Moonlight of Powerful Officials at large

Chapter 39

At the beginning of May, the capital has already begun to feel hot.Linglan almost forgot that Wen Ning used to be the lady who cared the most about boudoir training and obeyed the rules.

These days, as she promised before, she did not do anything out of the ordinary. The time of the foot ban has passed, and she still doesn't go out much.

But Wen Ning stopped tormenting, and she felt a little...uncomfortable?

There is only such a young lady in Hefu, and I only hope that she can live a free and comfortable life.

Wen Ning is sitting at the stone table in the yard at this moment, just like in her previous life, listening to Chun Xing tell her about the fire in the Wang residence.But she almost dropped the tea cup in her hand after listening to it at the beginning.

"The Wang couple passed away?" Didn't Mr. Yichun rescue them?
"That's right." Chun Xing pressed Wen Ning's shoulders behind her, "It's a pity, they raised the eldest son, and they were a great kindness to the Duke's Mansion. Seeing that better days are coming, they lost their lives like this."

Wen Ning was a little confused. Mr. Yichun should not have taken the money to do nothing, but instead lied to her. What happened to the corpse of the Wangzhai?Could it be that they saved someone and found two corpses to replace the original owner?
But why do such a thankless thing?

No wonder he called her over last time, wanting to blackmail her again.Could it be this thing?Is this worth 5000 taels?What a profiteer!
"It's better to be the entourage who followed the son. He was in the Duke's mansion that night and escaped the disaster." Chun Xing continued, "Otherwise, with the fire that night, I heard that the whole house, even the trees in the house, would be destroyed." If it burns out, he will definitely not be able to escape!"

"Aren't the attendants inside?" Wen Ning was even more surprised.

It turned out to be different from the previous life.There were three people in her previous life, and she remembered it clearly.

"That's right, the entourage said that the prince stayed by his side, and it will be different in the future." The eldest girl of the aristocratic family has more status than the young lady of an ordinary family, not to mention the personal entourage next to the prince of the aristocratic family.

Wen Ning casually put the pastry in her mouth.

In her previous life, the closest person to Pei You was a guard named Tu Bai, who had never seen Wang Qinsheng before.In this life, it is completely different.I don't know what happened before to cause this change.

"How did the fire start, did you find out?" Wen Ning asked.

In the last life, the fire was caused by the falling candlestick in Wang Qinsheng's room. In this life, Wang Qinsheng is not around, so why did the fire still start?

"It is said that the candlestick in the room of the Wangs and his wife fell down. It is probably because the couple were asleep and failed to notice it in time."

Is the candlestick down again?

Wen Ning twisted the pastry in her hand, feeling a little weird.

"Jingzhao Mansion handled it?" Wen Ning asked.

"That's right, the Governor of Jingzhao personally checked it." Chun Xing saw that she had eaten several pieces of cakes, and poured her a cup of tea, "I heard that she was very cautious, and originally wanted to do an autopsy, but the prince brought the body with him that day. Just go to bury, and don't want to open the coffin again, that's all."

So perfunctory about the death of adoptive parents?

Ah.

Sure enough, he was cold-hearted and deserted.

No, not at all.

"Second brother went home today?" Wen Ning didn't want to eat any pastries, nor did she want to drink any tea. She wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and Grace stood up, "Let's go find second brother."
-
The Duke's Mansion in May finally ceased to be full of guests.

The eldest son was found after being missing for 19 years, and Jiahe personally granted the seal. At the end of April and the beginning of May, people came to congratulate him almost every day.

Wang Qinsheng saw his young master go from the Wang residence to the Duke's mansion, from Wang You to Pei You, and he didn't feel any discomfort at all, as if he had never left these years, so he should be the noble son of this mansion.

He himself didn't dare to be negligent, and after handling the funeral of Wang's couple, he found Nanny Cui and Gu Fei to learn the rules.

After more than half a month, the demeanor described is quite different from before.

At this moment, he was guarding by a lotus pond outside Qinghui Hall, and Pei You didn't need to say much to know that he was going to let his young master out.

Pei You was in the pavilion by the lotus pond, seemingly imitating Xia Chu's lotus scene, but in fact there was someone beside him who was talking to him.

Wang Qinsheng was curious, when did the young master know that person, and he met him frequently recently, but it was just for a while, he now understands, some things don't tell the young master, so he doesn't ask.

The person next to Pei You in the pavilion who was bowing to report was Tu Bai.

What is different from what I imagined in the night in the past is that this time he is dressed in white, and his facial features are even more sharp. His voice is neither high nor low, just enough to make Pei You hear clearly: "The matter has been done according to the young master's instructions. It may take some time until they become popular."

Pei You was tracing the edge of the lotus leaf, and nodded slowly after hearing the words: "No hurry, I can trust your ability."

Tu Bai presented a token made of black iron, and said: "From now on, they will only listen to the order of the master. Seeing the order is like seeing the master, please take a look."

Pei You glanced up and said, "Just keep it first."

Tu Bai froze for a moment, but did not take back the hand holding the token.

"Since I asked you to beg for you, I am trustworthy." Pei You stopped writing, straightened up, looked at the green lotus pond, and sneered very lowly, "You know that there are not many people who can trust me."

Tu Bai's eyebrows and eyes darkened slightly: "Tu Bai will definitely live up to your entrustment."

Then lowered his voice and said: "My lord, the Wang couple have arrived in the south of the Yangtze River."

Pei You was silent for a moment, then said slowly, "Jiangnan?"

"Yes." It took them a lot of effort to find the person. They found that the two were being taken care of on the surface, and they were accompanied by someone secretly. They did not startle the snake according to Pei You's instructions. Settling down, "They seem to have started it temporarily, as if because Mrs. Wang likes it there."

Hearing the words "Mrs. Wang", Pei You's face softened a little, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Mother has always wanted to go to Jiangnan to see, and my father must not be able to persuade him."

"The pedestrian doesn't seem to have any malicious intentions, but he still doesn't know where he is. In order to avoid being discovered, it is inconvenient to go forward and inquire." Tu Bai continued.

"No need, just let them withdraw." Pei You looked back, "If they want to hurt people, they won't save them. If their plan is in the future, then... Let parents live in peace these days anyway stop."

Tu Bai understood Pei You's concerns, and just said: "My lord's side is also..."

Pei You laughed a little self-deprecatingly: "I don't know who exactly wanted to put them to death, nor who knew their danger, rescued them from the fire, and sent them out of the capital. Tubai, after all, it's the other party who is too much Strong, or am I too weak?"

"My lord, all the forces in the capital are intertwined. You have just returned to the Duke's mansion, so it's not surprising that you can't figure it out. Tu Bai will do his best to assist you and give you a helping hand!" Tu Bai bowed and bowed.

"Thank you." Pei You raised his arm.

But Tu Bai lowered his body even lower.

Today is different from the past, since he came to the Duke's Mansion from his husband, Pei You is his master, there is a difference between master and servant, so we can no longer get along like before.

After Tu Bai left, Pei You stayed alone in the gazebo for two hours until the painting of the lotus pond was completed.

He is not impatient in the first place, and in the current situation, he needs more patience.

The Wangs have only been in Beijing for six years, and they have not made any enemies here. It cannot be malicious revenge from the enemies.The timing happened to be the night when he returned to the Duke's mansion, and it was obviously aimed at him.

It's just that he couldn't figure out how the forces in Ren Jingzhong were intertwined, and what could that couple do to hinder them?Or, in the eyes of that group of people, what would the passing of that couple do to him?
He really couldn't figure it out, although they hadn't made any enemies during these years in Beijing, they hadn't made any friends, especially the dignitaries. He and Wang Fu were unwilling to make friends. Who would it be that foresaw this situation? A fire broke out and rescued them.

And why save?

Since you have no clue, wait.

Whether it is an enemy or a benefactor, the truth will come to light one day.

In fact, this matter seemed to Wen Ning to be extremely simple, it was just an accidental drowning, she didn't want people to die, so she spent money to save people.But she was worried that Pei You would find out what she was doing behind her back, and she would simply send her out of Beijing. She didn't expect that Pei You would be able to find the traces of the Wangs when they were fledgling. When Pei You reunited, it would be impossible to find out about her anymore.

That Mr. Yichun would arrange two corpses to pretend to be the Wang couple was even more unexpected to her.

On the second day, Wen Ning avoided Linglan and went to Yichun Garden. After seeing the tokens with the Wangs and his wife, she was sure that they were sent away, so she was completely relieved.

As for whether Pei You was happy or sad when she saw the two corpses, what did it have to do with her?

After all, there will be no relationship between the two of them.

As Wen Ning expected, Pei You, who returned to the Duke's Mansion, hardly had any interaction with Wen Ning, who stayed at the Wen Mansion.Only when people would talk about April grass growing and Yingfei flying after dinner, Miss A Ning of the Wen family was so keen-eyed that she almost snatched back the eldest son who had not been recognized by the Duke's mansion and became her husband.

Summer passes and autumn arrives, autumn passes and winter comes, and half a year flies by, and it will be the end of the year in a blink of an eye.For the New Year's Eve banquet in Jiahe's 15th year, not only the ministers of the DPRK and China attended, but the empress also invited unmarried men and women from various families into the palace to celebrate the New Year together.
