When he arrived at the place where Jiang Ping'an's family lived, he happened to see Jiang Ping'an coming out to pour water for washing his feet.
"Safety!"
When Jiang Ping'an heard the sound, he looked up and saw him standing there, so he put down the wooden basin in his hand and walked over.
"Brother Wu, I know you're nervous, Sister Jiaojiao, but it's almost a curfew outside right now, and it's hard for us to go out. Also, at night, I asked Su Jin where she went during the day, and she said she went back to Su Mansion to see Xiao Jiao. Sisters. But I asked the concierge and found out that Su Jin left with Sister Jiaojiao before. Therefore, it is very possible that Sister Jiaojiao is in Su Mansion now. "
When Chen Wu heard about Yan Jiao's whereabouts, he felt relieved, but he still had to say what needed to be said.
"Ping An, my father did this to me. I don't plan to live in the Chen Mansion anymore. I'm afraid that if I continue to live there, things won't end well with Jiaojiao. You also know how good Jiaojiao is. Even if I blame everyone in the world, I can't betray her. So, I want to leave here. My eldest sister said that she will take us to the capital when the time comes. So, I can't live here anymore, look at you..."
Jiang Ping'an knew what was going on as soon as he heard it. It would be fine if it was just him and Su Jin who came to Fucheng, but this time he left Liuyun County with his family.
Now his parents and sister all live in the Chen Mansion.
If you want to leave late at night, you have to wake them up after they have rested.
But he also knew that if Chen Wu left here now, it would be difficult for them to continue living in Chen Mansion.
After thinking about it, he said: "Brother Wu, wait a minute, I'll call Su Jin and my parents. At worst, we can be extravagant tonight, stay in an inn, and rent a house tomorrow. We have They have hands and feet, and my parents and sister are also honest and willing people. Sujin is not bad either. We are in this city, and it is possible to make ends meet."
Chen Wu looked at the brothers who were advancing and retreating with him, and was deeply moved in his heart.
By the time Chen Miaomiao came over, the Jiang family had almost finished cleaning up.
Seeing Chen Miaomiao, Su Jin's tense heart softened slightly.
If she was here, they shouldn't have to pay to stay in an inn today, right?
Chen Miaomiao looked at the Jiang family's large and small bundles at night, and once again confirmed in her heart that this family was okay, and she had not made any mistakes.
Immediately, he saw her walking to Su Jin's side, reaching out to help carry a baggage, and then said to Chen Wu: "Xiao Wu, help me carry it, the carriage is already outside the door."
Chen Wu didn't say anything. After picking up the two biggest burdens from Jiang Ping'an, he followed his sister to the door of Chen's mansion.
But when he arrived at the gate, he saw his father standing there with his hands behind his back.
Master Chen heard the noise and turned around to look.
One look at this posture, and you can tell that they are determined.
He wanted to stay, but he couldn't bring himself to apologize.
He felt that his attitude was already obvious when he appeared here.
Unexpectedly, Chen Wu turned a blind eye to him and directly carried the baggage and got into the carriage.
Chen Miaomiao only had one carriage that came from the capital. Fortunately, the carriage was large enough to accommodate several people inside and on the shaft.
After everyone got on the carriage, she said to Mr. Chen, "Dad, I took Xiao Wu away. I'll ask Qiaoyun to pick up his and Jiaojiao's luggage tomorrow. Please take care of yourself!"
After saying that, when she got on the carriage and sat in the carriage, she thought of something again, opened the carriage window and said to Mr. Chen: "Dad, you are not particularly old. From now on, Xiao Wu and I can't be together in the carriage." You have fulfilled your filial piety. If possible, you should marry a wife and take concubines as soon as possible. Maybe a hundred years ago, you can still see your children grow up."
With that, she closed the carriage window and said to the driver, "Uncle Lu, let's go!"
Mr. Chen stood there angrily, unable to say a word for a long time.
What kind of evil had he done, and why was he alone in this huge mansion?
He obviously didn't have many children, but one of his legitimate children died in infancy, and he also had a son and a daughter who were not his. There is one son and one daughter left but they don't recognize him as their father.
Who has he been busy with all his hard work in this life?
How could he still have another child at his age?
Even if it is possible, how many years will it take from marrying a wife and taking concubines to ten months of pregnancy and then raising the child?
By then, will he still have the energy to manage these industries?
Furthermore, if the child is born, it is guaranteed to be his child?
Thinking of this, Mr. Chen regretted very much. He regretted that he should not have been soft-hearted and listened to his mother's words and took his cousin Wu Yu'er as his concubine.
Without Wu Yu'er, his family should still be very happy.
His wife and children were both alive, so Miaomiao would not resent him so much.
Moreover, the child Chen Wu will not live outside and suffer all kinds of hardships.
Therefore, the root cause of all this, apart from his soft ears, is the fault of Wu Yu'er, a cruel woman.
If she hadn't plotted with Gao Ningyao, how could the Chen family be like this?
Gao Ningyao didn't want to wrong his woman to be a concubine, so why should she be thrust into his house?
Why would he plot against his wife and children just to be his wife and their bastard?
Yes, it's all their fault.
He must make them pay the price!
Anyway, now that he is alone, what else is there to be afraid of?
Isn't it true that the government's investigation has reached a stalemate, and no evidence can be found?
There is also some evidence that he has been shady in various governments over the years, and he doesn't mind adding fuel to the fire.
Without Qian Tongpan and Zheng Zhifu, how could Gao Ningyao dare to be so arrogant?
*
No one knew that the stagnant case had taken another step forward because of the falling out between the Chen Wu brothers and Mr. Chen.
That night, Meng Peng, who was still in the government office, received an anonymous detailed information.
It contained evidence that the Gao family was selling illicit salt, with details including who the contact was, where the contact was, what the code was, and what the price was.
In addition, there is also a list of what valuable things were sent to the Qian Mansion in the past three years from which house, when and in what name.
By the time Li Yuan knew the news, it was already the twentieth of the first lunar month.
At this time, her noodle stall had been open for five days.
Because of the legend of the Good Luck Noodle Stall and Xie Yanzhi’s living brand, her noodle stall business is extremely prosperous.
If we use modern words to describe it, it would probably be an internet celebrity noodle stall!
As long as the food sold at the noodle stall is quickly accepted.
In particular, noodle stalls no longer only have white noodles, but also mixed noodles, dried noodles and the like.
If you are reluctant to spend five cents for a bowl of white noodles, you can spend three cents for a large bowl of mixed noodles.
If you are reluctant to spend three pennies on noodles, you can spend two pennies on a vegetarian rice ball.
In short, business is really busy from morning to night.
The rest time in between is not long!
When Xie Yanzhi came over, there happened to be fewer guests on Li Yuan's side.
"Yuan Niang, are you free? We have something to discuss!"
He got a list today, which was exactly the list that Mr. Chen anonymously reported Qian Tongsuan for taking bribes.
Now, he needs to find something on the list!
