Chapter 198

Chu Junlan arranged the matter at home, so Chu Cailiang called Aunt Su to explain.

Aunt Su was waiting for power to be held, but she didn't expect that the power could not be completely handed over to her at present, which really disappointed her.

It turned out that Aunt Wang was there, and she was suppressed. Now that Aunt Wang is gone, Sun is gone, and Chu Junlan is almost no longer a member of the Chu family, so she is still suppressed?

Aunt Su's face turned a little ugly.

When Chu Cailiang saw Aunt Su showing off his face to Chu Junlan and Chu Huating in front of him, he said in a deep voice: "If you don't like it, I will just go back and arrange Aunt Lu."

Aunt Su was shocked and quickly calmed down and squeezed out a smile: "No, no, no, no, how can I dislike me? I am just too surprised. I always thought about doing something for the mansion, but now I finally have a chance. Besides, I have never managed the family affairs before. The eldest young master was very talented and had seen people. It was the honor of maids and concubines to be able to ask for advice at any time."

"That's good." Chu Cailiang then slowed down.

Aunt Su secretly breathed a sigh of relief and thought to herself: The atmosphere of this family has really changed. Now she is living a life with the third lady's face, and she will live a life with the eldest master's face in the future. She doesn't know when it will be.

"Miss Three, I bought someone and came back. Now I'm in the outer yard." Soon, Zi Yan replied in front of the yard.

Chu Junlan smiled and stood up, saying, "Father, brother, I'll go out and have a look."

"I'll go with you." Chu Huating stood up.

Chu Junlan smiled, "Brother, let's take a look at the account book first. If you have any questions, I'll come back later, and you can ask me."

Chu Huating nodded, anyway, it was no big deal that he had bought two servants.

When Chu Junlan came to the outer courtyard, he saw a man and a woman standing in the yard wearing half-new cotton coats. The man was in his early twenties and a woman was fourteen or five years old. She was dressed very cleanly and looked very handsome.

"It's done well." Chu Junlan smiled and praised Zi Yan.

Zi Yan smiled shyly, and she always chose people according to Chu Junlan's request.

"It's good if the lady is satisfied."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the rude knocking of the gate of the courtyard.

"Here's here! Who!" The door was startled, threw down the tea bowl and ran out of the doorman.

With a "squeak" opening, before you could see who the person was, you were pushed open by a force and tough force, and fell to the ground with a few steps backwards. "Oh, hey! Are you rushing into a private house! What are you doing!"

The visitor did not answer, and the tide broke in like a tide.

The person in charge is Duan Zhiheng.

Chu Junlan raised his eyebrows in confusion and said with a smile: "What's wrong? Why did Lord Duan suddenly remember to break into my house?"

Duan Zhiheng saw Chu Junlan, and no longer had the same kindness as before, and said in a tough tone: "The court arrested spies from other countries, and the superiors could not let go of any orders. Miss Chu's home naturally could not be spared." He bowed his hand and said arrogantly, "Please don't blame Miss Chu."

Chu Junlan bowed his knees: "Mr. Duan is so serious. Since he has official duties, please do whatever he wants."

"Okay." Duan Zhiheng sneered, "I heard that I bought two new servants in the house?"

Chu Junlan raised his eyebrows and nodded, "Yes, I wonder which national law was violated by purchasing the person?"

"It is naturally not illegal to buy people, but it depends on who you are buying."

Seeing Duan Zhiheng's attitude, the Gyeonggi several people chose several angles in the courtyard to stand firm, completely blocking Chu Junlan's possible escape in all directions.

Chu Junlan saw the movements of these people from the corner of his eyes, and sneered in his heart, and only knew it: "The servant I bought was asked to choose from outside. I was going to the Duke Mao Guo’s mansion. I wanted to bring two confidants. The Duke Mao Guo’s mansion was the highest, and I also had to choose a flat-headed and straight-faced person."

As he spoke, Chu Junlan turned around and waved his hand: "Zi Yan."

"Yes, Miss." Zi Yan was a little nervous, her voice was trembling, and she came to greet her and bowed, turned around and introduced to Duan Zhiheng: "Sir, the two people chosen by me are here."

Duan Zhiheng looked along Zi Yan's fingers and saw a man and a woman standing beside her, looking like she was already scared.

With great strides, Duan Zhiheng grabbed the young and girl's hair without hesitation and forced them to raise their heads.

Two pretty faces hit their sight. Duan Zhiheng looked carefully, then pinched their faces, as if judging whether they were disguised. Finally, he pulled open the young man's neckline.

Seeing that the young man's chest was clean and there was no external injuries, Duan Zhiheng slowly let go of his hand and stood up straight and looked at Chu Junlan.

Chu Junlan closed his eyebrows unhappily: "Why, Lord Duan sees something wrong with them? If there is something wrong with them, just take someone to interrogate them. I will buy them. When my little girl goes to buy someone, there should be many people who can testify. I have nothing to do with them in the past."

Duan Zhiheng's face was as deep as water and circled around the two of them.

"What's your name? How old are you?"

The young man swallowed nervously and stuttered, "Sir, I'm twenty years old, and I'm called Tie Niu."

"Sir, I am my servant named Guihua, I am fourteen."

After hearing their accents, Duan Zhiheng's eyes that had seen Qianfan's eyes disappeared.

These two people could never be from Northern Yuan.

Duan Zhiheng turned and said, "If Miss Chu doesn't mind, can you allow the search of the mansion?"

"Sir, please be light." Chu Junlan stood aside with a faint expression on his face.

After receiving Duan Zhiheng's orders, the Gyeonggi's guards rushed into the mansion.

During the time when Chu Junlan was in charge of the family, the few servants left in the family had long been accustomed to asking Chu Junlan for advice on anything. So the servants came from the capital, and the servants did not go back to Chu Cailiang and others. Now Duan Zhiheng's people rushed in, shocking everyone in the family.

After all, those who passed by the Jinyiwei came to the mansion to "search their house" twice were almost scared.

The women hugged each other in panic, while Chu Mengying and Chu Huazhang rushed to the yard with their servants.

When Chu Huating saw the Beijing Guards coming to search, he was shocked and rushed to the front yard with Chu Cailiang to ask what had happened.

Duan Zhiheng stood with his hands behind his back, with great authority and no answer.

When Chu Cailiang saw Duan Zhiheng's face, his heart sank and almost burst into tears on the spot.

"This, this is... our family has never dared to do anything!"

Duan Zhiheng still did not answer.

The Gyeonggi-guwei had neat methods and searched the Chu family up and down, and even the cellar where winter vegetables were stored in the kitchen and the well in the backyard were carefully checked.

"Sir." Gyeonggi-gu bowed and shook his head at Duan Zhiheng.

"Confirm?" Duan Zhiheng raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, sir."

Duan Zhiheng's expression finally calmed down, and he turned to Chu Junlan, his smile as gentle and polite as before: "After searching, it is confirmed that there is nothing abnormal, so there is nothing wrong. We are also doing business on a routine basis, so please don't blame Miss Chu."

"No, of course not." Before Chu Junlan could answer, Chu Cailiang bowed his hand repeatedly.

Chu Junlan couldn't stand Chu Cailiang's humble appearance, but she also knew that it was not the time to offend someone like Duan Zhiheng.

She smiled and said, "Mr. Duan is so serious. The guards of the Jingji Valley are also trying to capture criminals for the sake of the Dayong Dynasty and the people. We have no ability, so we can only cooperate with the court to be obedient to the people."

Duan Zhiheng's mouth twitched, saying that he was a good word, why did he sound so awkward?

"I'm upset." Duan Zhiheng waved to the Jingji Guards, and the Jingji Guards lined up and left with Duan Zhiheng.

This group of people came without warning, and they were like a gust of wind.

The owners of the house and the few servants left were panicked. Aunt Su had just obtained the power and whispered: "You should do whatever you should do. The search has been over. If you didn't see us pick up people, it means that it's okay. Let's go back, go back."

But even if Aunt Su said so, the servants were still frightened and gathered together to discuss today's affairs.

Aunt Su realized that perhaps managing the inner house of a family is not an easy task.

Chu Junlan said to Chu Cailiang and Chu Huating, "It's nothing, they are doing routine. These days, there are people in the capital everywhere in the city, saying that they are doing the work of some countries. The Northern Yuan Dynasty is approaching, so I think the court is nervous."

Chu Cailiang and Chu Huating both heard that the Northern Yuan envoys came to Beijing to seek enfeoffment. Now they thought it was related to the two countries, so they also dispelled their doubts.

Chu Junlan deliberately confused the public, not saying that they were searching for the two, but fooled them with "detailed works of infiltrating some other countries".

Chu Huating and Chu Cailiang's expressions were a little worried, and they seemed to be worried about the country and the people. They went to the study room of the outer court to discuss recent affairs in the court.

Chu Junlan told Liang Hui: "Don't worry, just let everyone do their own duties, it's just a routine inspection."

Liang Hui nodded immediately and agreed, and it was a big deal to go down.

Chu Junlan called Tie Niu and Guihua to the living yard together.

At the same time, she asked Zi Yan to go to the royal palace with two medicine bags: "You go and give the prince some medicine, and the method of using the medicine has been written on the paper bag."

Zi Yan nodded, not daring to delay, so she quickly asked her family to take her off with a car.

Congratulations to the Prince's Mansion, Jingxuan.

Xiao Xu had already changed into a new crescent white brocade robe when he got up early, and his hair was neatly combed. He was reading a book in the room while waiting for Chu Junlan to come.

Today should be the day when she comes to see him.

Everyone knows that even though his "stupidity" has been cured, there are still many things that need to be consolidated with medication.

But when I waited until noon, I didn't see anyone coming, but Zi Yan was waiting for it.

"Are you here alone?" Xiao Xu looked at Zi Yan with an expressionless face.

Zi Yan was looked at by his cold gaze, feeling the cool breeze drifting on her back, and nodded and said, "Originally, our lady was coming, but today the mansion came to search for Jingjiwei. It seemed that she was catching spies from other countries. The lady was going to hand over the cards again. If the family really couldn't leave, I asked me to bring the medicine to you."

Xiao Xu frowned, lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, stood up and instructed Jing Yu: "Prepare the horse."

"Crown Prince?"

Xiao Xu didn't say a word and took the lead in leaving Zi Yan standing there with a puzzled look on her face.
