farmer's wife

Chapter 208 The Outer Room
"Hey! Is it true?!"

"I saw it with my own eyes, and I can still make up lies to deceive you!" The woman was questioned, and she simply told everything she saw and knew.

"I've paid attention to it, and I've spoken a few words with the woman in that family."

"There are two masters and servants living in that courtyard. They said they came to Yunjing to look for relatives. I see, what kind of young lady is looking for relatives, can the young lady live in our place? There is also the young master who came here from time to time. He is not an ordinary person at first glance. This must be the outer room! Afraid that the old woman at home would find out, so he hid him in our place."

"I've seen it twice, and I thought it was a relative of that family."

"Which relative only comes to visit from time to time?"

"Really, when you say that, I also feel like an outside room."

"That's just a hidden outer room. Look at that woman's complacency."

"Don't be angry, even if it's the outer room, it's your son's outer room, we can't afford to mess with it."

Several people spoke excitedly, their voices became louder, and they all entered the ears of Fu Yan and others.

Fu Yan's heart skipped a beat, and her fingers fiddled with the abacus stopped.

Why does this situation sound familiar?

She approached Si Shouliang and asked, "Do you know which family those people are talking about?"

Si Shouliang nodded. They were all neighbors, and everyone in the back street knew what happened.He had heard it several times in the shop.

After Si Shouliang clarified the location of the household one by one, they were right.

Fu Yan looked sideways at Qingque.

Qingque's complexion was not good, and she nodded heavily under Fu Yan's gaze.The house that the shopkeeper mentioned was the place where they saw my uncle last time!
Uncle actually raised a concubine secretly in Xishi? !

If this matter is known to the two governments, it will be difficult to be kind.

Fu Yan calmly motioned Qingque to keep silent, and she whispered to Si Shouliang: "Go and inquire, and find out what's going on with that family. Then find a way to ask, and see if you can know who comes here often What is the name of your young master? If you can find out how much, don't let outsiders know."

Si Shouliang's face remained unchanged, and he didn't ask the reason, but replied in a low voice: "Okay, I'll make a note of it."

"Well, as soon as you have news, send it over."

On the way back, Qingque hesitated to speak.

Until entering the house, Fu Yan left Qingque alone and said: "I know what you want to say. Wait for Si Shouliang to send a message. If it is really the eldest son of Duanminghou's mansion, I will go back to the mansion .Now, just pretend you haven’t heard anything, don’t say anything, remember.”

"Your servant has made a note." Qingque's expression turned serious.

"Well, then go back to your room and rest."

"The slaves retire."

Fu Yan restlessly leaned against the window and sat on the couch.

If they read correctly last time, that person is most likely Ye Tianling's husband--Yang Xiansi.

Yang Xiansi, the eldest son of Duanminghou's mansion, has a title to inherit when he is lying down, but he has already obtained the honor of juren. Can't run away.At the same time, he is also the son-in-law chosen by Duke Yongyi's thousands of people, both Ye Zhuo and Princess Qi Tong are quite satisfied with this son-in-law.

If the matter about the outer room is true, Fu Yan would have a headache thinking about it.

Regardless of how Ye Zhuo and Qi Tong treat their family with kindness and generosity, outsiders are not easy to provoke.And their identities are all there.

Duanming Hou's mansion married Ye Tianling, that was a golden baby back.I didn't see that Ye Tianling hadn't conceived for two years after entering the house, and Mrs. Duanminghou never dared to show her face.

Fu Yan knew that in this era, it was common for men, especially men from powerful families, to marry and accept wives.The wife in charge of the family must be dignified and virtuous, and even take the initiative to take the initiative to support the husband's concubines.Those who keep their husband's back house and refuse to take concubines are narrow-minded and jealous, which will hinder their reputation.

Even this charge is not only for men, but also women from other families will criticize and ridicule, how sad.

It's just that Qi Tong is His Royal Highness the princess with golden branches and jade leaves, and he has his own status and privileges. Duke Yongyi doesn't take concubines and others don't dare to talk too much.

Even if people at that time recognized taking concubines, they did not approve of concubines, which would be degrading to the nobles.

Fu Yan once heard Qi Tong mention that there is a rule in the Yang family that men who are over [-] years old and have no children can accept concubines, and the family style of the Yang family has always been upright, so after a lot of provocation, Duke Yongyi finally agreed to the marriage.

If this matter comes out, even if Ye Zhuo, the brave and resolute man, is away and Princess Qi Tong is there alone, this matter will not be resolved.

Fu Yan suppressed her mood and did not reveal any rumors at home, just waiting for news from Si Shouliang.

Without keeping Fu Yan waiting for a long time, Si Shouliang came to Xiao's residence in person two days later.

Si Shouliang told Fu Yan all the information he had inquired: "Master, that family lives in seclusion, I only found out that there is indeed a master and a servant living in the yard."

"Miss is twenty-eight years old, and she came to Yunjing with her family's old servants to find relatives. As for why she lived in West Market, I didn't find out. The lady is tight-lipped, and the neighbors don't know."

"About the young master's identity, the woman also kept it a secret. Only someone said that the woman slipped her tongue when showing off, and said that his surname was Yang. I really don't know the rest."

Si Shouliang was helpless, his boss ordered him to do something, but he only got these bits and pieces of information.

Standing behind Fu Yan, Qingque took a deep breath, lowered her head and grasped the corner of her skirt.

Fu Yan sat there expressionlessly, and asked after a while, "Do you know when that young master will go there, and how many times have you been there?"

Si Shouliang thought about it for a while, "There is no definite date for when that young master will come. I heard that there were not many people who came before, and many people hadn't seen it before. He only came a few times this month before he was seen. Arrived."

A few days ago, Ye Tianling went to the north with Mrs. Duanminghou to escape the summer heat.

Knowing the news, Fu Yan knew it well, she said softly to Si Shouliang, "I see, this time I will trouble you to inquire about it for me."

"If the master has something to do, just ask the younger one." Si Shouliang dared not take credit, and replied humbly.

"Qingque." Fu Yan called out, and Qingque walked over and handed Si Shouliang a prepared purse.

Fu Yan: "It's summer that makes you run around like this, go back and buy some food to nourish your body."

How much money can I ask for food, this bag is calm.

Fu Yan told him again: "It's just this matter, I'm going to ask the shopkeeper when I leave this door today..."

Si Shouliang quickly responded: "The little one is just here today to report the business in the shop to the owner, I don't know anything else."

"Well, then I'll keep you soon, Qingque, give it to the shopkeeper."

"Yes." Qingque walked in front of him and ushered him out, "Shopkeeper, please."
