"What woman? Who has this prince betrayed?" Xu Chengfei's eyes widened and he had no idea what was going on.
Madam subconsciously pointed her finger towards the outside of the house, "She is the woman who often comes to the house and wants to see Mr. Hou... Doesn't Mr. Hou not have her?"
Xu Chengfei frowned, "I am either in the military camp or on an expedition. How can I have time to take care of a woman? This is simply nonsense."
"Then...what's going on?" Madam was also confused. Although she was very dissatisfied when she heard the rumors, in this culture of three wives and four concubines, she could only swallow her anger, and she could not show her dissatisfaction to avoid being rejected by the Marquis.
Now that she heard from the Marquis that it was not what was rumored, she couldn't help but feel a little happy.
Xu Chengfei snorted coldly: "Any cat or dog would dare to slander me. If Madam doesn't believe it, find that woman and confront her!"
Seeing that the Marquis was angry, the lady quickly explained: "The Marquis misunderstood, of course I believe him. As for the confrontation, there is no need. If the woman comes again, I will ask someone to send her away."
Originally, she was worried that this woman had something to do with the Marquis, so she felt it was difficult to deal with her. Now that the Marquis has said that there are no rumors, it will be easier to handle. The Kuang Yihou Mansion is now one of the top wealthy families in the Ming Dynasty, and not everyone can slander it.
Xu Chengfei lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and said: "No! It's better to find someone. I want to see who is so bold as to throw dirty water on my head."
"This... okay. But Mr. Hou, this woman just came here during the day today. It may take two days before she comes again. If Mr. Hou insists on seeing her, I'm afraid he will have to wait another two days. ." Madam explained.
"It doesn't matter, I will wait for her for two days." Xu Chengfei narrowed his eyes, wondering who dared to slander him like this.
The sun sets and the sun rises, and the day passes.
Komatsu Lingzi came to the house many times but was blocked from the door. She was filled with anger after being rejected. The next day, he couldn't wait to come to Kuang Yihou's mansion and once again expressed his desire to see Xu Chengfei.
What surprised Komatsu Reiko this time was that the guard guarding the gate did not deal with her because the Marquis was not around, but asked her to wait at the door while the guard went into the house to report.
"Madam, that woman is here again. I don't know what to do with her?" the soldier reported to Mrs. Kuang Yihou.
Madam yesterday gave an order to the government to report to her as soon as possible if the woman comes again. Now that he heard that this woman had arrived so quickly, his eyes lit up and he asked, "Where is Mr. Marquis?"
"Reply Madam, the Marquis is at the school grounds."
The lady quickly ordered: "Hurry and report to the Marquis that the woman is here again, and ask the Marquis to make a decision."
"yes."
When Xu Chengfei heard that the woman was coming, he finished his exercise. While wiping his sweat with a cotton cloth, he ordered: "Invite her to the lobby and let Madam go over and deal with it first. I will arrive soon."
"Yes, Lord Marquis."
The soldier trotted all the way to the outside of the mansion and said to Xiaosong Lingzi: "The Marquis is in the mansion. Miss, please come with me."
Komatsu Reiko let out a long breath. After being blocked for so many days, she finally blocked Xu Chengfei. Thinking of this, Komatsu Reiko felt a sneer in her heart. She really wanted to know that Xu Chengfei's expression when he saw her would be very exciting.
Following the soldier to the lobby, the soldier stood at the door and bowed: "Madam, we have arrived."
"Come in." A female voice came from inside.
Xiaosong Lingzi was quite surprised that Xu Chengfei saw him and brought his wife. What does this mean, demonstrate to yourself?
Did Xu Chengfei really think that if he demonstrated like this, he would give up? What a joke!
If Xu Chengfei doesn't give him an explanation today, he won't be able to dismiss him easily!
Komatsu Lingzi felt furious, raised her head and stepped into the hall. He walked forward and faced directly a woman sitting in the hall.
The hairpins and gold and silver accessories on this woman's head are of no more or less benefit. No matter where she sits, she shows a graceful and luxurious posture. It is obvious that she was also a beauty when she was young.
It's just that she is older now, and she is far behind the stunning beauty of Komatsu Reiko.
Komatsu Reiko didn't take the initiative to say hello, nor did she say anything, she just looked at the woman tit-for-tat through the veil. Is this Xu Chengfei’s wife? Even if she is as young as him, her beauty is still far behind him, so there is nothing to be afraid of!
When the madam saw this woman coming here, still wearing a veil with no intention of taking it off, she couldn't help but frown slightly. This is a very unreasonable behavior, and coupled with the other party's anti-customer attitude, the wife is even more dissatisfied.
If the Marquis hadn't wanted to see her, Madam would have had her kicked out.
Just when the atmosphere was getting stiffer, Xu Chengfei walked in from the door, glanced at the woman in front of him, and without saying anything, went directly to sit next to the lady.
The lady curled her lips at Xu Chengfei, and then indicated that the man in front of her was blocking the door to look for him.
Komatsu Lingzi also noticed that something was wrong at this time. Before Xu Chengfei could speak, she quickly asked: "May I ask your Excellency?"
Xu Chengfei leaned back in his chair, frowned and said, "Aren't you looking for me? I am Xu Chengfei. Who are you?"
"Are you Xu Chengfei?" Komatsu Lingzi's voice couldn't help raising her voice, and she asked in complete disbelief.
Xu Chengfei frowned even more tightly, forming the character "Sichuan", "I am Xu Chengfei, who are you? What do you want to see me for?"
Mistaken?
Xiaosong Lingzi panicked and asked quickly: "Is there someone named Xu Chengfei in Ming Dynasty? The person I'm looking for is not the Marquis, but someone else."
Xu Chengfei was slightly dissatisfied after hearing this, thought for a moment, and patiently explained: "If it is a marquis, then I am the only one named Xu Chengfei. Of course, there may be more than one named Xu Chengfei in the Ming Dynasty, but at least among the officials in the capital, I am not the only one named Xu Chengfei. I’ve heard of other people with this name.”
"Sorry, the little girl has found the wrong person. Sorry!" Komatsu Reiko was confused for a moment. After quickly bowing and apologizing, he turned and left the lobby.
After staggering and almost falling, Komatsu Reiko turned around and said with a smile: "Sorry~"
Xu Chengfei and his wife did not react for a moment as to what was going on, so they had no choice but to watch the woman leave.
"What on earth is going on?" Xu Chengfei lowered his head and said in a deep voice.
The madam also had a very surprised expression, and tentatively guessed: "This...maybe she made a mistake?"
"Make a mistake? I am the only one named Xu Chengfei among the marquises. How could she make a mistake? Even if there is someone else with the same name as me, she shouldn't come to the palace." It was spread into a rumor for no reason. The protagonist, Xu Chengfei, was a little angry.
The lady didn’t know how to explain it, so she said, “Then should we capture her and ask her clearly?”
Xu Chengfei thought for a moment, then sighed in frustration: "Forget it, the pure will become pure and the turbid will become turbid, let her go."
...
Komatsu Reiko returned to the Huitong Hall in despair. Seeing her return, Hosokawa Noriyuki quickly stepped forward and asked: "Master, have you seen Kuang Yihou?"
Komatsu Reiko didn't speak, just nodded slightly.
Hosokawa Mochiyuki was immediately overjoyed and asked quickly: "Then what did he say? The master was with him in Jeolla Province..."
Komatsu Reiko ignored Hosokawa Mochiyuki and walked directly into the room.
When Hosokawa Mokiyuki saw it, he glanced at his master in surprise and quickly followed him.
"Master, what's... happening?"
Komatsu Reiko looked up at him, then sighed and said, "I saw Xu Chengfei, but did you know? This Xu Chengfei is not the same person as the one we saw in Jeolla Province."
"Not one person? What does the master mean by this? Are there two Xu Chengfei?" Hosokawa Mochiichi did not understand for a while.
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
"I don't know if there are two Xu Chengfei. But this Kuang Yihou is not the Xu Chengfei we met in Jeolla Road." Komatsu Reiko shook his head slightly and explained.
"What, what's going on?" Hosokawa Mochiyuki was stunned, "Is there another Xu Chengfei?"
Komatsu Reiko looked at him seriously and asked, "When you investigated Xu Chengfei, did you find anyone with the same name as him?"
Hosokawa Mokiyuki lowered his head and recalled, and said: "When I asked Ming officials about Xu Chengfei, as soon as I mentioned the name, they told me that Xu Chengfei was Kuang Yihou. It was so easy to find out Xu Chengfei's identity, so I I didn’t think much about it, and I never thought there would be someone with the same name..."
"Go quickly and ask Xu Chengfei how many people there are, right away!" Komatsu Reiko angrily grabbed the tea cup and threw it directly at Hosokawa Mochiyuki's feet.
Hosokawa Mochiyuki did not dare to dodge at all, and immediately straightened up, "This subordinate did something wrong and humiliated his master. This subordinate deserves death. I will go and do it now, and I will definitely find Xu Chengfei."
Even though Hosokawa Mokiyuki worked hard, he was still very efficient, but within two days he found out the details about the other Xu Chengfei.
"Master, except for Marquis Kuang Yi, there is no one named Xu Chengfei among the dignitaries of the Ming Dynasty. The only one I found named Xu Chengfei lives on the outskirts of the capital and is a farmer. Master, do you think it could be him? "
When speaking, Hosokawa Mokiyuki was cautious and did not dare to look directly at his master's face. If it was really this farmer, then his owner was deceived. Thinking that his superior master would be deceived and committed to a farmer, Hosokawa Mokiyuki wanted to cut this Xu Chengfei into eight pieces.
On the contrary, although this matter is related to his reputation, Komatsu Reiko is not at all concerned about gains and losses like Hosokawa Mochiyuki.
She calmly raised her head and looked at Hosokawa Mochizuki: "If he was really a farmer, how could he go to Jeolla Province? He could also provide us and the Northern Dynasties with so much food, so much Ordnance?"
