"And that young man and your husband are from the same place and the same age."
Although Lu Zhizhang's words were reserved, Zhou Yaoniang still heard what the other party meant from his words.
"What do you mean, Sir? My fiancé Xu Tianyi, who I was married to by fingertips, is actually dead a long time ago, and the husband I live with day and night is actually someone else pretending to be?"
After hearing Zhou Yaoniang's words, although this fact was very cruel, Lu Zhizhang still nodded silently.
Lu Zhizhang originally thought that Zhou Yaoniang would find it difficult to accept this fact. After all, that man was her husband who stayed with her day and night and slept with her in the same bed.
However, Zhou Yaoniang's reaction was far calmer than he imagined.
The reason why Zhou Yaoniang could remain so calm was because he had already suspected that his husband had done this.
Now, whether this husband is pretended by someone else or not, it is actually not important to her.
After all, whether it is Xu Tianyi whom he has never met, or the person who pretends to be Xu Tianyi and sleeps with him, these two people are not actually deeply emotional for him.
So for her, whether it was Xu Tianyi or others, there was nothing unacceptable in all of this.
But she also knew that at least this time, she would never let that man get away with it.
"Does your Excellency know who that person is?"
Facing Zhou Yaoniang's inquiry and considering that he needed her to cooperate with him, Lu Zhizhang also said, "That person's name is Fang Choucheng. He was just a monk from the Baiyun Temple on the outskirts of Zhuque Street." After that, the Baiyun Temple encountered some serious disaster, and the monks fled one after another. Over time, the place became deserted, but Fang Changcheng has been living in the temple. We suspect that the cases of those corpses that day are also related to him. "
After hearing Lu Zhizhang's words, Zhou Yaoniang just nodded silently.
Lu Zhizhang then only whispered, "He seems to have escaped after that case. He defected to Gu Yue Island, and then he set up a trap to seize your family property."
Hearing Lu Zhizhang talk about this, Zhou Yaoniang couldn't help being shocked.
She really didn't expect that the person beside her would be such a cruel devil, and that he would commit such a great evil.
Especially when she thought about what she saw outside the wilderness that day, Zhou Yaoniang felt even more inexplicably nauseated.
Should she be lucky that the realm didn't attack her directly like this?
But on the other hand, Zhou Yaoniang was also wondering whether this case might not be that simple.
She said whatever came to her mind, and then she only said to Lu Zhizhang, "Mr. Lu, I think that the case in the wilderness may have little to do with him. After all, if he really wants to take action against us, he can do it directly. There is no need to follow us in such a big circle, and although this person is hypocritical and usually hides very deeply, I still feel that he may not have much to do with that case."
After hearing Zhou Yaoniang's words, Lu Zhizhang whispered, "Yaoniang, if this case has nothing to do with him, then where did Xu Tianyi's token come from? And why is he so familiar with Xu Tianyi's identity?"
Hearing Lu Zhizhang's rhetorical question, Zhou Yaoniang couldn't answer. ..
She did not choose to continue this topic, "What you said makes sense, maybe I don't understand this person enough."
After her words fell, Zhou Yaoniang just looked at Lu Zhizhang and said, "By the way, Mr. Lu, you didn't come to me for such a simple thing, right?"
Lu Zhizhang looked at Zhou Yaoniang and nodded, "Yes, that person is on Guyue Island now. No one is allowed to move on Guyue Island, so I can't go to the island. I want you to help me lure that person out."
When Zhou Yaoniang heard Lu Zhizhang's request, she originally wanted to take revenge. Now that Lu Zhizhang said this, she naturally agreed without hesitation. "If you can catch him, Yaoniang will naturally want it, but I don't know what you want." How can I cooperate with you, sir?"
Lu Zhizhang then signaled Zhou Yaoniang to come over, and then he muttered to Zhou Yaoniang for a while.
Zhou Yaoniang heard only
He nodded repeatedly.
In the end, Zhou Yaoniang only said to Lu Zhizhang, "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, I will definitely cooperate with you."
Early the next morning, a red sun shone on the mountainside in the countryside, illuminating the ancient moon town.
The streets here are orderly, and the houses on both sides are starkly opposite to each other.
However, there were not many pedestrians passing by in this market, and most of the shops in the market were closed.
This is what Zhou Yaoniang saw when she got off the carriage with her maid and mother-in-law.
After driving all morning, everyone was a little hungry. It took them a long time to see a soup cake shop with a shed nearby.
Zhou Yaoniang immediately said to the servants and women at home, "Everyone should rest here first."
With Zhou Yaoniang's order, everyone felt happy.
After all, everyone has been traveling for so long and is really hungry.
The business of this soup cake shop with a shed was not very good, and only a handful of customers came.
It seems that the taste or other things of this shop are not very good. After all, the number of customers determines the overall score of this shop.
However, they were too hungry and there was no other breakfast restaurant here, so they had to stay here for breakfast anyway.
When the shopkeeper saw a group of more than a dozen people walking towards his shop, he felt that this was a big deal, and he immediately asked his wife to go out to entertain them.
The shopkeeper's wife was about thirty years old. He was wearing a dark red patchwork coat skirt and a square scarf of the same color on his head.
There was a smile on her face, "Where are the guests coming from? Are you ready for dinner?"
The woman's greeting was very homely. Zhou Yaoniang only said to the woman, "Shopkeeper, what do you have in your store?"
The woman knew that this business was probably going to be done. She immediately smiled and said, "The shop has soup cakes, dumplings, and steamed buns. I wonder what the customers want to eat?"
Zhou Yaoniang didn't have time to think too much. She just looked at the people behind her and said, "What do you want to eat?"
Everyone immediately talked about it for a while. In the end, most people chose soup cakes, and a few people chose dumplings.
Although everyone's choices were different, it was not difficult for the landlady. After counting how many people ate soup cakes and how many people ate dumplings, the landlady said to her wife who was still cooking soup cakes in front of her, "This The table needs twelve bowls of soup cakes and five portions of dumplings."
After the words fell, the boss just said "I know", and then he started to get busy.
The lady boss also started to cut soup cakes for the boss.
But before she could do anything, the boss immediately said to her, "Why are you staying here? Why don't you hurry up and greet the guests?"
The landlady thought for a while and then brought the water over. Then she found a few small bowls. Then she poured the water into the bowls and said, "Guests, come over and have tea."
Although the landlady's house is simple and simple, all the tea utensils are very clean and elegant.
Zhou Yaoniang also felt her throat was dry, so she took a sip of the amber tea.
The tea is sweet and fragrant, but the taste is different from other places.
Zhou Yaoniang didn't expect that this ordinary little stall actually had such tea. She was very surprised and couldn't help but say, "Mrs. Boss, your tea tastes really good. It's better than the tea in those big taverns." It’s even better.”
The landlady was very happy when she heard Zhou Yaoniang praise the fragrance of her tea.
"Yes, our tea is made from our own secret recipe. When business was good, customers would come to my stall to have a bowl of soup cake just to drink this herbal tea. My family used to be a herbal tea shop. Yes. The business is even better. Of course, my husband’s family is also good. Their soup cakes are excellent. When our house was across the street, I just loved their food, so I pestered her to marry her. .”
Hearing this, everyone just laughed.
Zhou Yaoniang also asked, "Is it really as delicious as you say?"
The landlady too
He just smiled and said, "If you don't believe it, you will know after you try it.".z.
While the landlady was talking to Zhou Yaoniang, the boss had already prepared several bowls of soup cakes. Seeing this, the landlady quickly brought the soup cakes to Zhou Yaoniang's table.
The soup cake is made with mutton soup as the base. The mutton is well processed, without any fishy smell, and it is fragrant. The soup cake is also very chewy and elastic.
Just smelling the mutton soup made everyone salivate in their mouths.
Zhou Yaoniang took a bite and felt that it was so fresh that her tongue almost fell off.
Someone asked eagerly, "How was it? Miss, is it delicious?"
Zhou Yaoniang didn't say anything. She ate several more chopsticks in a hurry, and then she said to everyone, "It's delicious! The boss lady is not bragging at all. This soup cake is really delicious."
One after another, all the soup cakes were taken out of the pot, and everyone had their breakfast. For a moment, no one spoke, and everyone just immersed themselves in eating.
After finishing eating, some people even drank all the soup.
To be honest, having such a bowl of fresh and fragrant mutton soup cakes on this cold winter day makes everyone feel warmer and more energetic.
After eating the soup cake and drinking a cup of herbal tea brewed by the landlady, I feel relieved and refreshed.
Suddenly, Zhou Yaoniang saw that the owner of this shop was very enthusiastic and the food was delicious. She didn't know why the business of this shop was so cold.
So when paying the bill, Zhou Yaoniang couldn't help but curiously said to the boss, "Boss, the food in your shop is so delicious, but the business is so poor."
When Zhou Yaoniang asked about this, the landlady immediately sighed, "She must be a foreigner at first glance. She may not know how hard our people in Guyue Town live. In short, now that we have the ability Almost all the people who moved out have now moved away from Guyue Town, and the remaining families, except those from poor families, are the ones whose relatives were held hostage."
