The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

The three people who were laughing happily stopped immediately. Sister Tian was a little confused, while Meng Wenyao and Mei Zhi had their hairs standing on end.

"Miss, are we here to see you?"

"I am also not certain."

After she escapes, Chu Yuanfeng will definitely look for her, but who can say for sure whether he will use officers and soldiers to find a roommate.

"It's better to be cautious."

The two people immediately walked out of the yard. Meng Wenyao whispered to Master Wen: "It's best not to let anyone know the news about my here. You take us and hide it."

Master Wen thought he was guarding against someone coming from Meng Wenyao's father's side. He did not expect that the officers and soldiers outside would be looking for Meng Wenyao. He smiled and said: "Miss, you don't have to hide. You are the boss. No one can hide you... …”

Meng Wenyao's face straightened and she said seriously: "It's better to be cautious."

As soon as they hid, the officers and soldiers over there came from the shop in front. Master Wen, who greeted him with a smile, said loudly: "My lord, what happened this late at night?"

The officer and soldier had a sinister look on his face, holding two portraits and saying, "Look, these two women are fugitives. Take a closer look. Have you seen them before?"

Although the portraits were very unclear, the general appearance of the two women looked very much like Meng Wenyao and Mei Zhi. Master Wen was so shocked that the officers and soldiers almost became suspicious.

"I haven't seen them before. We have a small business. We usually only have the old man, his wife, and his son's family. I have never seen these two people."

Master Wen stuttered as he saw Shitou coming over with two large bags of snacks.

"My lord, this is just new. My lord has to deal with a case late at night. It's really hard work. Please give me some peace of mind."

The officers and soldiers looked at the two large bags of snacks, their expressions instantly softened a lot, and they reassured: "Have you checked it out? If you check it out, then withdraw."

The officers and soldiers who were looking around immediately stopped and wanted to retreat. Just as the officers and soldiers were about to leave, Shitou's son suddenly ran out, pointed at the portrait and said, "Miss, it's Miss."

The officer and soldier paused and asked, "Have you seen it?"

Master Wen's family was so frightened that the hairs on their hair stood on end. Shitou said nervously: "I've never seen it before. Children are talking nonsense."

As soon as Shitou's wife pinched the child, the child burst into tears. The officers and soldiers frowned and asked, "Child, have you seen these two people?"

Children who follow their parents in business are the best at observing people's emotions. Shitou's son immediately said, "I've never seen her before. She's very beautiful. The lady from the mansion."

Shitou started to explain with a cold sweat on his forehead: "Master, our family's dim sum is often bought by rich families, so this child has seen many young ladies, and he is afraid that if he sees a beautiful girl, he will think that he is a wealthy lady. Woolen cloth."

These officers and soldiers also patrolled this area on a daily basis, and were somewhat familiar with Meng Ji's dim sum shop. There were only a few people in this shop, and the officers and soldiers were also familiar with it, so they thought this child was talking nonsense.

"These two are famous prostitutes from Baihua Tower. They escaped privately. If you see them, report them immediately, you know?"

"I know, we are all serious people here. Where have we seen anyone from Baihua Tower? Don't worry, sir, we will report it if we see it."

They were finally sent away. It took a long time for everyone to recover, as if they were exhausted. The stone wife was carrying the child and was about to beat him.

"Wait a minute, if you make the child cry, won't you attract others again?"

Meng Wenyao stopped Shitou's daughter-in-law and said to Shitou and his wife, "You go and have a rest first, and just tell your children not to talk nonsense in the future."

After Shitou's family of three left, Master Wen choked up and said, "Miss, that portrait?"

"Yes, I was sold to Baihualou before, and I escaped this time through all kinds of difficulties, so I must find out the person who harmed me behind the scenes."

"Thousand-Knife Killer, if I let this old slave know who killed the young lady, I will make him pay for it even if I risk my own life."

After comforting Master Wen with a few words, Meng Wenyao and others took a rest.

Early the next morning, Master Wen took several shopkeepers who had escaped from the Meng family according to the old lady's plan and found the Meng family together.

The people in the house also knew Master Wen, and they immediately enthusiastically invited the shopkeepers in.

"Is Mr. Xiang here?"

"It's a coincidence that Master Wen came here. If I had come half a month earlier, Mr. Xiang wouldn't be here. He went to Jiangnan some time ago to personally inspect the new raw silk harvest this year. He just came back ten days ago. It's a coincidence that Master Wen came back. "

If I had just come back a few days, it would still be called a coincidence. I have been back for half a month, and it is still a coincidence. It is just a servant who can talk and please Master Wen.

I remember that Master Wen was just an ordinary servant in the mansion. He was able to serve his master well, and he was merciful and freed from his slave status. Now he is the shopkeeper of a store.

The current servants of the Meng family look at Master Wen and the shopkeepers as if they were looking at their dazzling seniors, and they try to fawn over them, hoping to learn from them.

Master Wen felt like a mirror in his mind and said casually: "Then the master has been out for the past few days. Is the eldest lady in charge of the house?"

The servant's smile continued: "How could that be possible? As you always know, our young lady likes to go out and play. As soon as the master left, she went to another courtyard. You see, the master has been back for half a month. , The young lady hasn’t come back from the other courtyard yet, and the master really dotes on our young lady and never lets anyone go to the other courtyard to disturb the young lady. The old lady and my wife are alive in heaven, so we can feel at ease."

The servants in the mansion were not very clear about their master and thought that Meng Wenyao was really playing in another courtyard. After this call, they not only praised Xiang Demei for loving Meng Wenyao, but also said it in front of Master Wen and other elderly people. Meng Wenyao lived comfortably, which reassured them.

Master Wen, who was drinking tea, felt cold in his heart. If a father comes back from a trip and doesn't see his child for half a month, he won't look for it, unless the father doesn't want the child to come out.

Originally I was 70-80% sure that Xiang Demei was the mastermind behind this, but now I am 90% sure.

"That's really unfortunate."

"What a coincidence?"

As soon as Master Wen finished speaking, a middle-aged man walked in. It was Meng Wenyao's father, Xiang Demei. He bowed to several shopkeepers and sat down in front of them.

"These are all old people living under my mother's side. Although my mother made the decision to let some of them go out and work alone, in my heart, they are still like elders. I don't know where the east wind came from today, but it brought all these seniors here."

When it comes to Demei, being good-looking is the second most important thing. The most important thing is being able to talk. With just a few words, you can make several shopkeepers stand tall.

The shopkeepers who didn't know what was going on responded very politely: "You are so kind, Master."

Only Master Wen put down the tea cup and said with a smile: "To be honest with you, the old lady asked us to go out and work alone. This was just a superficial statement. In fact, we are just the shopkeepers in front of the stage. Behind the scenes, we are just the shopkeepers. The owner is still an old lady.”
