"My uncle is here, so of course my nephew doesn't need to accompany me. However, my nephew has a merciless request."
"Ye'er just talks."
"Prince Mu's scolding just now made my nephew enlightened. My nephew wants to ask his uncle to accompany him to visit his cousin." Pan Liye is three years older than Huizhen. He was born in the same year as Pan Wenxiong and is only older than Pan Wenxiong. Fumio is two months younger.
"Cousin?" Pan Wenxiong asked confusedly, "Which cousin?"
"Of course she is my cousin who came all the way from the capital." Pan Liye said with a smile.
Pan Wenxiong was very embarrassed: "To be honest with Yeer, Princess Huizhen and I are actually not familiar with each other..."
"We'll get to know each other a few more times, won't we?" Pan Liye said, taking a basket of jujube mud cakes from the boy next to him, "Let's ask Princess Huizhen to try our famous jujube mud cakes in Cangzhou. This Gifts don’t have to be valuable, but they have to be thoughtful.”
His nephew has really changed. Pan Wenxiong thought to himself. Who is the noble man that the old man asked him to pick up? Pan Liye actually let Pan Liye reveal his true nature?
Since Pan Liye insisted on going, Pan Wenxiong had no choice but to follow.
In the blink of an eye, we arrived at Alley Twelve. Although the night was dark, the smell of alcohol was still lingering in Alley Twelve.
"My cousin is a noble princess, how can she get used to living in a place like this?" Pan Liye said.
"Although Princess Huizhen is pampered, she is not afraid of hardship at all." Pan Wenxiong said.
"My uncle said he was not familiar with my cousin just now, but now he is familiar with my cousin's character." Pan Liye said with a smile.
"Those who can live in Lane 12 will have to endure hardships." Pan Wenxiong said.
In a blink of an eye, we arrived at the residence where the two brothers Pan Wenyong lived. From the wall, we could see the bright lights in the yard, and there were faint sounds of stern scolding.
"Eh? Is this what it is?" Pan Liye took two steps quickly and was about to knock on the door when he was suddenly startled. Why did the courtyard door turn into a wall?
Pan Wenxiong was also surprised from behind: "Why is the door sealed?"
Pan Liye took a few steps and came to the eighth door. The courtyard door was open, but there were two female guards standing on both sides of the small courtyard door.
Not only were there two female guards standing at the courtyard gate, but the eaves were newly repaired and the courtyard gate was newly painted.
"Who are you?" a female guard shouted at Pan Liye.
"Female warrior, this is the second husband of the Pan family, my nephew." Pan Wenxiong rushed up and said.
The female guard glanced at Pan Wenxiong: "Fourth Master Pan, even the Pan family cannot come rashly to disturb the princess."
Pan Liye said with a smile: "Don't be angry, little lady. I just want to give the princess some local jujube paste cakes from Cangzhou to try."
The female guard was expressionless: "Not everything can be given to the princess to taste."
Pan Liye's face immediately looked a little ugly.
Pan Wenxiong tried to smooth things over by saying, "It's true that the princess is careful..."
"Be serious!" Suddenly a woman shouted from the courtyard.
"It's so late, are you still training?" Pan Liye said with a smile.
The female guard remained expressionless: "It has nothing to do with you."
Pan Liye still smiled and said: "Female warrior, can you pass the message for us..."
"If you don't take it seriously, there will be no wine tonight!" Another sentence came from inside.
Pan Liye's curiosity became even more intense: "Could it be that he was scolding Uncle Wen Yong and Uncle Wen Wu? But why? These Uncle Wen Yong and Uncle Wen Wu are the princess's biological uncles. How can this niece scold their uncles? This is not the case. Is it unfilial?"
As expected of Pan Liye, his words put Princess Huizhen into an unfilial position.
As soon as he said this, the female guard gave him a strange look: "The princess is asking the two uncles to practice their manners. After a while, she will ask the matchmaker to select some women of the right age to meet her."
Pan Liye was very surprised: "But Uncle Wen Yong and Uncle Wen Wu are not..."
The two female guards looked at him sternly, as if if he said a word, they would pull out the knife in their hands.
"Both brothers are less than forty, so they should marry again." Pan Wenxiong quickly smoothed things over.
Pan Liye smiled apologetically: "I'm being narrow-minded. But if the two strong women don't pass the message for us, can you bring this basket of jujube paste cakes and offer it to Princess Huizhen to try? This is specially made by my uncle. Bought for the princess..."
The two female guards were unmoved: "Without the princess's order, we cannot send anything brought in by anyone. You two should please go back."
Pan Liye could only carry the basket of jujube cakes away again.
"I'll give it to you to eat." As soon as he walked out of Alley 12, Pan Liye threw the basket to the boy.
"Before I came to Lane 12, my nephew thought that Princess Huizhen was lonely and helpless, but he didn't expect that there were so many servants around her." Pan Liye sighed.
Pan Wenxiong remained silent.
Pan Liye came here to test the depth of Princess Huizhen.
The two of them rode home together. As soon as the carriage arrived at the gate of Pan's old house, a servant ran out with a pale face: "Fourth Master, Mr. Erlang, something is wrong! The master of the house, the master of the house, has had a stroke!"
"What on earth is going on? My grandfather has always been in good health, so why did he suddenly suffer a stroke? Did Uncle Chengmao see him?" Pan Liye asked a series of questions sharply.
The uncle Chengmao he was talking about was Pan Chengmao, Pan Chengcai's cousin. He was a medical worker in his late sixties. He ran a medical clinic in Cangzhou City, and people in the Pan family's old house usually invited him for medical treatment.
"It was only after seeing the doctor that Uncle Chengmao confirmed that it was a stroke..." The servant wiped the sweat from his head, "Uncle Chengmao said that the master was afraid that he might not be able to survive! Then the second master asked the little one to come out to look for the masters. !”
Before the servant finished speaking, Pan Wenxiong had already lifted up his robe and went straight to Ronghua Hall where Pan Chengcai lived.
Pan Liye watched Pan Wenxiong's back disappear with cold eyes, and then asked the man coldly: "What on earth is going on?"
The servant lowered his voice: "Uncle Chengmao said that the head of the family indulged in excessive sexual activities..."
"I don't have to!" Pan Liye said, striding through the door.
His grandfather should never have done anything to marry that witch as his stepmother! He shouldn't have given birth to his fourth uncle!
Seeing the Ronghua Hall in front of him, as he passed through the corridor, someone suddenly grabbed his robe from behind: "Erlang Jun, please stop."
Seeing that he was about to return to Jinmanlou, Qin Xiangxiang stopped and looked at Mu Ting: "I still feel something is wrong."
"There's something wrong with that guy Pan Wenxiong." Mu Ting quickly took over. The whole time he was thinking about Pan Wenxiong's behavior. Well, Mrs. Qin's memory tonight was originally that she only remembered the jujube cakes he gave her, but not Pan Wenxiong's behavior of wrapping up all the jujube cakes.
That guy Pan Wenxiong makes people want to get rid of him quickly! Mu Ting gritted his teeth and thought. He obviously had a close relationship with Qin Xiangxiang, but he still wanted to interfere. If he didn't have something important to do now and wanted to form a temporary alliance with Pan Wenxiong, he would have to tear that guy's face apart.
Qin Xiangxiang glanced at him: "So you care about Fourth Master Pan so much, why were you so impatient to stay away from me just now?"
Mu Ting was stunned and thought about what this meant. When did he remember that guy? What did he remember about that guy?
Qin Xiangxiang ignored him and said, "I mean there is something wrong with the wife of the foot shop owner."
Only then did Mu Ting realize that he was talking about the store owner's wife, not Pan Wenxiong.
"There's something wrong. Is it true that as the store owner said, he is sometimes confused and sometimes sober?"
"No, that's not it. I was referring to her accent, and when I said I wanted to take her for treatment, her reaction was not joy, but fear." Qin Xiangxiang recalled the scene in the foot shop carefully. .
"I didn't notice her." Mu Ting emphasized emphatically when he said this, "But the store owner seemed suspicious as well, as if he was trying to hide something."
Qin Xiangxiang suddenly took the basket of jujube mud cakes and said in a sweet voice: "Prince Mu, I want to ask you to check something out."
