He asked suspiciously: "Are you Mrs. Cheng?"

His reaction made Mrs. Cheng puzzled.

"Yes, I wonder why Mr. Chen came to visit?"

Chen Yuanxin seemed to have thought of something bad, and his expression changed instantly.

He pursed his thirsty lips and couldn't breathe smoothly, but he still had to control his face and kept calm as he spoke casually:
"It's like this. I passed by Beiyang Santang Street a few days ago and saw an empty garden. I wanted to rent it. Others said it was Cheng Dushi's private property, so the official started to bother me with a shameless face!"

Mrs. Cheng denied it immediately without even thinking about it: "My family is clean and honest. It's not easy to support such a big family. How can I have spare money to buy a garden in Santang?"

I came to inquire about this out of nowhere.

Not to mention that there is indeed no real estate on Santang Street. Even if there is, it cannot be easily admitted!

Who knows what kind of intentions he has and what bad things he is holding back!

Chen Yuanxin hurriedly blurted out: "But the surname Cheng is written on the door plaque!"

Mrs. Cheng frowned and said displeased: "There are many people with the surname Miles in the capital, and my family is not the only one with the official surname Cheng. Could it be that Mr. Chen has found the wrong house? Why don't you go back and inquire more carefully?!"

Chen Yuanxin quickly bowed his head and apologized: "This official is impatient and reckless. No offense is intended. I hope Mrs. Cheng will not take it to heart."

Although Mrs. Cheng was unhappy, she couldn't bear to worry about such a trivial matter.

"Mr. Chen, is there anything else you can do?"

Chen Yuanxin squeezed out a hint of hypocritical gentleness on his face, "It's okay. I didn't do things carefully and rigorously, and I disturbed my wife. I'm really sorry."

"Nothing." Mrs. Cheng responded perfunctorily, then turned to let the housekeeper standing beside her speak:

"Send it to Mr. Chen."

The intention of driving away the guest was so clear that Chen Yuanxin could not stay any longer, let alone ask any more questions.

Only when he was leaving, he took two quick steps to catch up with the steward who was leading the way. After putting a piece of silver into his hand, he asked in a low voice:
"That lady just now, is she really Mrs. Cheng?"

The housekeeper said with a smile: "The person in charge of the Cheng Mansion is the governor, not the wife, so who else can it be?"

"I would like to ask, besides Mrs. Cheng, are there any other concubines?"

The butler looked at Chen Yuanxin with a strange looking and probing look.

He rubbed the silver in his hand, thinking that this was not a big deal, so he replied:
"There is another one."

Chen Yuanxin breathed a long sigh of relief inexplicably, thinking that the Mrs. Cheng he met might be a vain concubine, and in other words, she was the first wife.
He asked again: "Is Miss Cheng Si feeling better?"

The housekeeper frowned: "The fourth lady is fine, why does Mr. Chen ask this?"

Chen Yuanxin's heart that had just sunk was raised again at this moment, and he was still confused when he stood still:

"Didn't Fourth Miss hurt her body a few days ago?"

The butler's expression was already tense and he was not angry: "Miss Fourth is in very good health. Where did Mr. Chen hear these gossips? It's just a matter of listening. Why do you take it seriously!"

"I"

The housekeeper urged: "Master Chen, please—"

Chen Yuanxin: "."

When he arrived at the door, Chen Yuanxin still refused to give up.

He took out his wallet without opening it, and handed the whole thing to the housekeeper, asking, "Can you let me see the fourth lady?!"

The housekeeper immediately returned the money bag to Chen Yuanxin: "Mr. Chen, if you have anything to do, please tell your wife and my family. Don't embarrass me, this servant."

The fourth young lady has not yet left the cabinet, so how can she meet her husband alone?

If the madam knew about this, she would not break his legs!
Chen Yuanxin pushed the purse to the housekeeper: "Then please give Miss Fourth a message. Just say that I have done what I promised her. No matter what, it doesn't matter if she doesn't see me. Let Cuixi come and reply to me." That’s it, I’ll wait for her on the Yuxi Bridge.”

"Master Chen"

He wanted to refuse.

Besides, the maid in Miss Fourth’s room is not named Cuixi!

Chen Yuanxin was anxious and almost begged: "Sorry for the trouble, just send me a message!"

The housekeeper couldn't shirk the offer and had no choice but to comply.
-
After Chen Yuanxin came out of Cheng Mansion, he went straight to the direction of Yuxi Bridge——

Perhaps he was walking too fast, and Chen Yuanxin was breathing unevenly. A large amount of sweat broke out on his forehead and temples, dripping down.

Suddenly, he stopped, was stunned for a long time, turned around, and walked quickly towards Santang Street——

When he arrived at the gate of a garden, he looked up and saw the word "Qingfeng" on the plaque. His eyes straightened. A second ago, he was sweating in the hot soup. Now he fell into the bottomless abyss again. It was so cold that his face was trembling faintly.

It was impossible for him to make a mistake and admit it.

But why did this plaque change from "Cheng Yuan" to "Qingfeng"?
Chen Yuanxin almost lost his mind, strode forward, and knocked on the door quickly and hard!

Although it is an idle garden, it still needs to be guarded by someone.

After a long while, a response came from the door:
"Come on, come on, stop filming."

After the door opened, Chen Yuanxin couldn't wait to ask: "What's going on with this plaque?"

The boy looking after the garden was startled, and then he became very angry: "What's going on, who are you?"

Chen Yuanxin grabbed the man by the collar, his face became ferocious in anger, and he asked again:

"I asked you what happened to the door plaque? Wasn't it called Cheng Yuan a few days ago? Why has it been changed today?!"

The servant stammered: "What is Cheng Garden and Li Garden? This is the other courtyard of the right minister. It has always been called Qingfeng Garden. How come it was changed today!"

Chen Yuanxin shouted fiercely: "Lie!!!"

"I was here a few days ago, and I saw with my own eyes that it was Cheng Yuan! If you are still dishonest, I will take you to the right prime minister and let him distinguish who is real and who is fake!!"

The servants couldn't help but be frightened. When Chen Yuanxin said this, he honestly explained:
"Young Master is happy and angry, I... I remembered. Someone came to rent the garden a few days ago. Did they change the brand? I didn't pay attention to this."

Chen Yuanxin frowned: "Rent? Does the Prime Minister need this little money?"

With a smile on his face, the servant gently pulled off Chen Yuanxin's hand that was still holding his neck, and said:

"How can I report such a trivial matter to the Prime Minister? I just rent it for a day and do it conveniently. The person in charge of the garden will make the final decision."

Chen Yuanxin heard it.

The rent money went into the pockets of slaves like them.

He then asked: "Who rented it?" The servant replied: "You two gentlemen, they said they borrowed it to entertain distinguished guests."

"Young Master?" Chen Yuanxin couldn't help but think of a person, and then asked: "What does he look like?"

“Hiss—” the servant took a breath and thought about it carefully: “One is tall and the other is short, one looks about sixteen or seventeen years old, and the other is thirteen or twelve years old. There is nothing special about his appearance. The taller one looks... Delicate and pretty, the smaller one is white and tender."

Chen Yuanxin immediately answered: "The taller one is called Shen Yinlu?"

The servant laughed and shook his head: "I didn't tell you my name, so I don't know if it's this name!"

Although he didn't get confirmation, Chen Yuanxin basically had the result in his mind.

No wonder I met Shen Yinlu and that kid on the street that day. It was not accidental at all, but a collusion between them!
what--

Chen Yuanxin chuckled with absent-minded eyes, which frightened the servants looking after the garden into panic.

When he was not paying attention, the man quickly closed the door with both hands and locked it with his head!
Chen Yuanxin looked at the closed door, twitched the corner of his mouth, and smiled again.

He no longer had to go to the Yuxi Bridge and wait around.
-
Shen Yinxu didn't go to the Prince's Mansion or Tai Hospital in her free time these days. After what happened in the West Market, she didn't go to the free clinic now. Instead, she was asked to run diligently to Songling Pavilion!
Songling Pavilion only serves tea and is the best place for literati.

It was only His Highness Ninth Prince who made an appointment with her before, but His Highness Seventh also came the next day after smelling the smell.

Not to mention anything else, she was influenced by pen and ink, and she could also watch His Highness Ninth Prince playing the piano and painting. The most important thing was of course that the fans in the live broadcast room liked to watch it. Anyway, she had nothing else to do. Of course, she had to follow the taste of the fans in the live broadcast room. Do more business and earn popularity rewards!

When Shen Yinke was carefully copying and painting with a pen, there was a knock on the door, which made her hands tremble in fright, her strokes were heavy, and her impetuousness also appeared on her eyebrows.

Qi Binping, the instructor next to her, smiled and took the pen in her hand: "Don't panic, we will see how to correct it later."

Qi Hongwei, who was standing opposite to watch the excitement, let out a mocking laugh without concealing it, and then shouted:
"Enter--"

The door opened and a young man came in. He quickly glanced at the three people in the room, and then his eyes fell on Shen Yingu in front of the desk, and he bowed and said:

"Master, where is Mr. Chen?"

He paused before he finished speaking.

As soon as Shen Yinlu heard the name Chen, he knew that he was the person sent by Xiao Sanqi to keep an eye on Chen Yuanxin.

She got up and walked around the desk and asked, "What's wrong with him?"

Seeing that Shen Yinlu had no intention of hiding anything, the boy did not hide too much and replied in a low voice:
"He first went to Cheng Mansion, and then to Qingfeng Garden. Now he seems to be going to Anyongfang. I figured it's not far from Songling Pavilion, so I came to give you a warning!"

Shen Yinlu was not surprised that Chen Yuanxin would know about it.

But what was he doing in An Yongfang?
etc--

Shen Yinluo seemed to have thought of something, his eyes widened, he said thank you to the boy and ran out.

He didn’t even bother to say hello to His Highness Ninth Prince and His Highness Seventh Prince!
She ran quickly, and when she got home, Granny Liu hugged Shen Yinrong and hid far away, while Chen Yuanxin was already going crazy in the house, smashing everything he saw!
The hall was in a mess, the tables, chairs and benches had been overturned, and there was not a single good thing.

Shen Yinlu frowned and shouted: "Chen Yuanxin!!"

Panting heavily, Chen Yuanxin turned around in response. The tears in his red eyes were instantly washed away by hatred when he saw Shen Yinhang.

"Shen, Yin, fuck!!!" He gritted his teeth, read her name word by word, and walked towards her step by step——

"You're the one behind this, aren't you?!" he yelled.

It turned out that he still didn't believe it.

After all, the Shen family's house and fields were taken over, and Shen Linong died again, leaving a pair of orphans and a widowed mother who couldn't even manage to survive. How could he have extra money to rent a garden and hire so many people to deceive him?
He came to Shen Yinluo to confront and verify, only to find that the Shen family's house that caught fire had been repaired, and Mrs. Liu still lived there! ! !
Although he didn't quite understand where Shen Yinlu could have such a large sum of money, he suddenly understood that the one who set up the trap for him was definitely Shen Yinlu and he couldn't be wrong! !

"Yes!" Shen Yinlu readily admitted, "A person who is clean and self-sufficient will never steal food no matter how tempted he is! If you didn't want to climb high and eat soft rice, in less than ten days, you would be able to do it for another person. A woman with a better fortune abandons her wife and son."

"Chen Yuanxin, to say you are shameless is an understatement. You are just a beast!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yuanxin strode forward, ready to attack Shen Yinlu! !

"Ah-"

Shen Yinrong shouted anxiously. Just when he was about to protect Shen Yinlu, he heard a crisp slap and he froze in place.

Chen Yuanxin turned his face to one side, and red and swollen fingerprints quickly appeared on the half of his face that was beaten.

After a long while, he regained his composure, turned around and shouted fiercely at Shen Yinwen:

"You dare to hit me!"

'Snapped--'
Shen Yinlu raised his other hand and slapped him again!

"Hitting you is light!"

"You bitch!"

Chen Yuanxin cursed, raised his shoulders, and pretended to grab Shen Yinlu, and he had to teach her a lesson! ! !

But not as fast as Shen Yinlu's feet!
"what!"

Chen Yuanxin was kicked to the ground.

The injury on his back had just healed, and there was still a third-level bluestone behind him. The fall caused him to grimace in pain, and he couldn't even care to curse!
Granny Liu quickly pulled Shen Yingu over. Seeing Chen Yuanxin's pain on the ground, she couldn't help but worry:
"Oh, fuck, I can't afford to offend you, so just stay away. What are you doing to him? He is an official now. What if he gets hurt?"

We ordinary people, not to mention the high-ranking officials of the fourth and fifth grades, even the lackeys who have no grade, they still have to go around!

Shen Yinlu reassured: "My mother-in-law is not afraid. He comes to the house to cause trouble and bullies us, old and young. He fell down on his own, can he be justified?!"

These words made Chen Yuanxin on the ground laugh angrily.

He endured the pain in his back and the heat on his face, stood up on the ground, and glared at her viciously:
"Shen Yinlu, Shen Yinlu, just wait. If I don't kill you this time, I will take your last name!!"

"Pooh!"

Shen Yinlu spat at Chen Yuanxin.

"My surname is mine, and if you cry and beg, even if you kneel down and smash your head to pieces, I won't respond! You still deserve my surname, you're a beast?"

Chen Yuanxin was stunned for a few seconds, with a hint of ridicule at the corner of his mouth. He stopped talking nonsense to Shen Yinguang and raised his feet to leave——

Suddenly there was the sound of horse hooves and wheels outside the door.

When he walked to the door, he saw the seventh prince getting off the carriage! ! !
Chen Yuanxin froze, his mind went blank and he couldn't think at all.

Qi Hongwei, on the other hand, was a little surprised at first when he saw Chen Yuanxin, and then he seemed to understand. Seeing the clear slap marks on his face, he felt a little funny again:

"Mr. Chen is not doing your business in Zhan Shifu at this time, but you come here to ask for a slap. Mr. Chen's interests and hobbies are really different!"

After hearing Qi Hongwei's voice, Shen Yinglu in the courtyard pushed away Chen Yuanxin who was blocking the door. After glaring with disgust at Chen Yuanxin who was almost pushed, he looked at Qi Hongwei beside the carriage and asked displeasedly:
"What are you here for?"

Qi Hongwei raised his hand, and the servant handed him a wooden box.
