The two maids told the story completely, which was different from the fragments of words that Long Baoer heard before.

The more Xue Zhen listened, the uglier his face became, and his brows were almost twisted into a knot.

"How can the dignified magistrate's yamen be so harboring filth and evil?"

"Mr. Xue, that's not the case!"

"Yes, Mr. Xue, it was not like this at all before. It was only after the old housekeeper brought back the young son that the house became a mess."

"Yes, in the past, the master was in charge of the Yamen and the wife was in charge of the back house. Nothing happened at home. No one ever bullied us. Even the eldest and the youngest were never rude to us."

"Now it's not just ordinary maids like us, I heard that even the eldest maid Mei Xiang beside Madam has been bullied."

"Then your wife doesn't care?"

"Madam... Madam has been seriously ill for several days, I'm afraid..."

"Since my wife has been seriously ill, the old housekeeper has been in charge of everything at home. Life has become difficult for those of us who are servants."

Xue Zhen's heart moved.

"When did your wife become seriously ill? When did your old housekeeper notice that he seemed to be a different person?"

Xue Zhen's words stunned the two maids.

The two lowered their heads and recalled carefully.

"It seems to be around the Lantern Festival this year."

"Yes, Madam was seriously ill. It was after the Lantern Festival, and then she fell ill. We haven't seen Madam out for a long time."

"Has no one seen Madam?"

"No, I said I was afraid of the wind and couldn't see people. We weren't allowed to get close. Sister Mei Xiang went to the kitchen to serve it three times a day."

"Hmph." Xue Zhen snorted, "You two stay here, don't go out of the yard, and don't go out no matter who calls you. As long as you are here, no one can do anything to you!"

"Thank you Mr. Xue."

"Mr. Xue, if you leave..." another maid said tremblingly.

Chang Maoming and his party are guests after all, how long can they stay here. It would be ten days and a half a month too late, and it would only be a few days if it was too late. They still had no hope by then.

"Don't worry, if the matter can't be solved, I will take you back and serve my sister exclusively."

Hope burst into the eyes of the two maids.

If they can serve young ladies, they will never get involved in those dirty things.

The richer the family, the more they pay attention to this.

Not to mention that the housekeeper does not dare to offend the people around the young lady, even if he is a father and brother, he must not attack the maids who serve the young lady.

Otherwise, if the news spreads, the whole family will stop being a good person.

Therefore, granting them this wish can be regarded as the most sincere thing.

"I'll go out for a while, you guys take care of my sister."

"Don't worry, Mr. Xue!"

"We will definitely take good care of Miss!"

The two maids made a vow.

"Long Bao'er, brother is going out for a trip. If you are sleepy, let them sleep with you. Come back when brother is finished."

"Well, third brother, go ahead! Third brother, come on!"

"Okay." Xue Zhen smiled and frowned.

When Xue Zhen came out of Long Baoer's side, his expression immediately changed.

He could laugh at his sister, but when he thought about the magistrate's office, he couldn't laugh at all.

After Xue Zhen came out, he exchanged glances with Chang Maoming's secret guards, motioned them to keep an eye on them, and turned around and entered Chang Maoming's room.

Here Chang Maoming and the two Taoist masters are still talking. Although Chang Maoming and Xue Zhen are poisoned and dying, in fact, they are all in high spirits now.

Even if his blood was weakened by the medicine, the potency of the medicine was still astonishingly strong.

Not to mention being sleepy, it’s not a problem to practice the exercises for ten consecutive days without sleeping.

So a few people simply waited here until midnight before going to Chen Xuanzhi to inquire.

After Xue Zhen came in, he closed the door with a serious look on his face.

"what happened?"

"Didn't you go to see Long Bao'er? Could it be Long Bao'er?" Chang Maoming said, about to get up.

"Long Baoer is fine. He has already eaten porridge. There are two maids playing with him over there." Xue Zhen said, "But I just heard something over there."

Xue Zhen immediately said everything he heard from the maid.

In this matter, although the protagonists are two maids, it is not the maids that Xue Zhen cares about at all.

The maid is a trivial matter, but the key point is why the old housekeeper is completely different from the other. Even the servants in the house are aware of it. Do Chen Xuanzhi, the head of the family, and Mrs. Chen know?

And according to what the two maids said, before the old housekeeper came back with this cheap son, the Chen family's back house was still very quiet, and no one dared to make such a mistake.

Because both Chen Xuanzhi and Mrs. Chen run the family very strictly.

This is consistent with Chang Maoming's consistent impression of Chen Xuanzhi.

The strangest thing is that Mrs. Chen is seriously ill.

Not to mention that Mrs. Chen became seriously ill just after the old housekeeper came back with his cheap son, let’s just talk about the relationship between Chen Xuanzhi and this lady.

I have known this girl from the Master's family since Chen Xuan's private school. The two of them can definitely be regarded as childhood sweethearts.

In order to escape to the examination room, Chen Xuanzhi had to pawn the clothes that the girl had sewn for him, and he felt very sad for a while. Fortunately, Chang Maoming redeemed him.

The two have been friends since childhood. Chen Xuanzhi has mentioned to Chang Maoming many times that his wife has been educated and sensible since childhood. She is the most perfect wife in his heart and the person he respects the most besides his father-in-law.

Then how come Mrs. Chen was seriously ill and Chen Xuanzhi was still laughing and drinking and chatting with them!

Everything was wrong.
