Chapter 240
Jin Fuyun raised her eyes suddenly, and her tone became urgent, "——You bought it?"
"This is my own decision. I think Zhu San has a lot of things to do in the capital. If Zhu San has ulterior motives and doesn't listen to you, Miss, I have a plan to deal with it."
"What if Zhu San refuses to acknowledge her? Ever since his son with tuberculosis died, his wife has been with him. He has been unable to remarry since then. I'm afraid his mistress is just a trick on him."
It is even possible that Zhu San would turn against us and put the blame on us.
"will not!"
Yu Cheng snorted hoarsely, "Young lady, you don't know that girl has the same horse face as Zhu San. He also secretly took a lot of money to support this girl."
"Is this true?"
Yu Cheng lowered his head, his face was cold, and the scar on his forehead looked even more terrifying. "The eldest lady has always treated him well. As long as Lord He finds out something, he might as well tell the truth and resist it on his own. It will not be in vain for you and him to be a master and servant."
After a moment, Jin Fuyun smiled sincerely, "Ah Cheng, you did the right thing after all. Go and tell him quickly. I will put the girl in front of you to serve you, and I will not treat her unfairly."
Lord He was waiting at the door. He was wearing a royal blue brocade robe with a goose-feather knife slung over his shoulder and holding the hilt with his left hand. He was waiting with more than ten servants.
Although the Tongtian Avenue in front of the princess's mansion is sparsely populated on weekdays, the common people love the hustle and bustle. Hearing that the officials from Jingzhao Yin are coming, they gather in groups of three or four not far away early in the morning to watch. Some of the smarter ones carry baskets on their backs, carry water and firewood, pretending to be passing by, but actually lingering around.
Normally, no one dared to look in front of such a wealthy family. If one walked slowly when passing by, the doorman would come out and chase them away with a ferocious look.
The doorman was annoyed today, but because of Lord He's authority, he didn't dare to be too aggressive.
Jin Fuyun dragged out the time inside, thought for a moment, and whispered a few words to Suohong. Suohong nodded secretly and trotted out of the main room.
When we arrived at the outer courtyard, the corner gate was wide open, and we heard Lord He's subordinates scolding, "You baldy, didn't you report to the young lady? We are here to let you go. If you delay Lord He's work, we will definitely bring you to court for questioning."
The concierge was usually fierce, but at this moment he was like a castrated chicken.
He hunched his back and replied in a low voice, "My lord, please wait for a moment. I have not missed anything. The truth is that there is only one mistress in the mansion now, the eldest daughter. My eldest son and his mistress have not yet entered the capital. The eldest daughter is still in the boudoir, and I dare not disrespect you. Please wait for a moment."
Lord He, who was pacing, smiled and said, "There's no hurry. The young lady is precious. I'll just wait."
The doorman looked at Lord He who was walking leisurely, sweat slowly seeping out of his forehead. Just as he was thinking about asking someone to bring a few cups of tea, Suohong, who was wearing a green long gown and a skirt, walked out.
He immediately felt like he had seen a savior and ran towards him.
Suo Hong glanced at him, changed her expression and stepped forward, "Sir, please go inside and have a rest. My eldest daughter will be ready soon." After that, she turned around and scolded the doorman, "It's such a hot day, but you don't know how to entertain guests. You made you stand outside the door and suffer the heat in vain."
Lord He didn't take the two different tones seriously and waved his hand, "I dare not! I was ordered to come here to investigate and arrest the criminals. I have to ask the young lady to help me. Young lady, please don't be polite. I'll just wait for you."
After saying this, he did not enter the house.
Suohong thought to herself, what a tough guy.
I asked again, but Lord He remained unmoved and kept saying verbally that we dare not overstep the line.
Suohong had no choice but to smile and say a few words, but unfortunately, she was too weak to speak, and Lord He ignored her and said a few perfunctory words without saying another word. Suohong had no choice but to return to the inner courtyard. By chance, Panxi and Panlan's maids had finished dressing Jin Fuyun and were about to go out.
"Miss, you are here with bad intentions."
Jin Fuyun walked slowly and asked in a low voice, "Where's Ah Cheng?"
After a long time, there was still no movement. Suohong was worried, "Why don't I go and take a look?" Jin Fuyun thought secretly and nodded slightly. After Suohong left, she sighed softly and cheered up to go out to greet her.
