Minglan is reborn, this time with no regrets!
Chapter 19 Mantis
While the two were arguing, Aunt Liu had already sent someone to give Changbai a message. Minglan happened to be going to give Changbai agarwood water and heard it. She thought that this time Gu Tingye really believed her and breathed a sigh of relief.
Chang Bai was shocked and angry when she first heard it, wondering how there could be such a shameless person in the world. But when she heard that there was a "Zhi Que" among the people who saved her, she immediately understood: Gu Tingye was in trouble.
Although Minglan didn't know about the agreement between them, she was the one who set up this trap! She said to Changbai, "This woman must have never seen my brother. Why don't we have someone wear my brother's clothes and go to the front hall to ask her to identify herself. As long as we find out that she is lying, we can make her sign it, or we can beat her with a stick or send her to the authorities. It's all up to us."
Chang Bai's eyes lit up: "Good idea!"
After a while, three "young masters" in gorgeous clothes came to the front hall.
The maid who came with them ran ahead and whispered the plan to the mistress.
The lady thought to herself: My son is so talented!
She pressed the corners of her mouth and said to Zhu Manniang, "You said that the one who saved you was Changbai from my family. Well, look, which one of these three is that?"
Zhu Manniang looked at them one by one. The first one from the left had a dark complexion and was skinny. The one in the middle had short hands and feet and his legs were a little turned outward. The one standing on the right had a calm expression and was quite dignified.
She pointed to the one on the right and said, "Master Changbai, Man Niang thanks you for saving her."
"Changbai" looked down at her and said, "I have saved a lot of people. Who are you? I can't even remember you."
He spoke in a sonorous and steady voice, with quite the charm of a real Changbai.
Everyone in the room couldn't help but laugh at the same time.
Zhu Manniang knew she had made the wrong choice by looking at the expressions of the crowd. She thought that maybe it was because this young master named Changbai had such a wretched figure that he liked to save prostitutes so much, so she turned to the man in the middle with his legs turned outward and said, "No, no, I was dazzled just now. This is the young master Changbai!"
In fact, these three people were all from the mistress's yard, one was a sweeper, one was a driver, and the other was Changbai's personal servant, Hanniu. Changbai was not included here at all.
It was the first time that the young man driving the car was mistaken for a rich man. He found the scene very funny and his face turned red.
At this time, the eldest lady was absolutely sure that Zhu Manniang was blackmailing her. She felt relieved and asked, "Why do you think my son would be willing to save you?"
Zhu Manniang thought she had made the right choice this time. She looked up at Changbai, who stood with his feet turned outward, and said, "You are a very kind-hearted man. You pitied me because I was bullied by my brother, so you saved me from the dire situation. Master Changbai, Manniang is deeply grateful for your kindness. I only ask to be your servant and serve you tea and water."
The lady smiled and asked the driver: "This woman wants to serve you tea and water as a servant, are you willing?"
The driver said happily, "Yes, I will. How can I refuse such a beautiful lady?"
The eldest lady smiled and said, "If that's the case, then please tell me, Madam Zhu, where are your ancestral home, where do you live, and who else is in your family? Then my family can help you find a matchmaker and propose marriage."
Zhu Manniang thought she had succeeded, and she was so happy that she reported her family background.
Mother Liu had already prepared pen and paper and wrote down everything Zhu Manniang said.
After finishing her explanation, Zhu Manniang just kept looking at the outward-facing "Changbai". She was already quite pretty, and she had been exposed to many prostitutes' tricks, so she was alluring, which made the honest driver blush.
When the lady saw her, she thought of Lin Qinshuang and couldn't help getting angry again. She asked, "Why? Do you really want to marry her?"
Although the driver was honest, he was very perceptive. He knelt down on the spot when he heard this and said, "I dare not! If I marry her, my mother at home will beat me to death! We only marry virtuous women in our family."
The lady snorted, "Oh, virtuous? She is the most virtuous woman in the world! She dares to come and bite people without even knowing them. She is so bold! Someone..."
In the chaos, Zhu Manniang's lies were exposed, her fingerprints were put on her confession, and she was locked up in the woodshed.
When Sheng Hong came back and heard about this, he was furious. But when he heard how the eldest lady had handled the matter, he was very satisfied. He even praised the eldest lady for her excellent work and stayed in her room that night.
Lin Qinshuang couldn't wait for Sheng Hong to come, and she heard some gossip from the servants outside. She thought that Changbai was really in trouble. She came up with a plan and said to Zhou Niangzi: "Since this woman has the courage to shout in the street, she must be sincere. Even if it is not true, her courage is enough to make the people of Weiruixuan drink a pot. If we can get her into our hands, wouldn't that mean we have grasped Changbai's weakness?"
Madam Zhou: "That being said, Wei Rui Xuan is like an iron barrel. Nothing can stop it. We can't find out where the person is imprisoned."
Lin Qinshuang: "They can lock him up for a while, but not forever. Either we report him to the police, or we release him, or we really take him into custody. Anyway, as long as we keep a close eye on him, we will eventually run into him."
The entire Linqi Pavilion became busy.
Upon seeing this, Chang Feng asked a servant and found out most of the information. He then developed a strong interest in Zhu Manniang.
For two days, Lin Qinshuang's people didn't find any clues about Zhu Manniang. Changfeng asked Changbai many times, but Changbai was vague for Gu Tingye and didn't tell the reason. It wasn't until the third day that Changfeng heard Minglan and Xiaotao talking about Zhu Manniang on the way back to Linqi Pavilion from the academy.
Chang Feng held Ming Lan and asked, "Tell me the truth, is that woman your second brother's lover?"
Minglan's eyes flashed with innocence: "Although the woman is as beautiful as a fairy and has a voice like an oriole, Third Brother knows that Second Brother has never been the kind of person who indulges in beauty. Otherwise, how come the eldest lady has locked her up in the woodshed for so many days, and Second Brother has never visited her?"
When Chang Feng heard the words "beautiful as a fairy, with a voice like an oriole", he threw his mission of finding out the secrets of the eldest wife out of his mind and asked, "How beautiful is she?"
Minglan thought for a moment and said, "Has Second Brother never seen her? I heard that she was forced by her brother to sing in a tavern and was almost sold to a brothel. To be able to do that kind of business, she must be very beautiful!"
Chang Feng was already lost in thought and let go of her hand. Minglan pulled Xiao Tao away quickly.
On the fifth day, a filthy woman was carried from Wei Rui Xuan to the back door of the Sheng family mansion and thrown out.
Mother Liu personally brought the man to the front door, and before throwing him out, she lowered her voice and warned him, "Since you have signed and confessed your guilt, my family could have taken you to court to punish you for the crime of fraud and slander. But my master is kind-hearted, and will not pursue the matter. He will lock you up for a few days as a lesson. If you know what is good for you, you should shut your stinky mouth from now on. If you dare to slander my young master in public again, I will make sure you have a good result! You don't want to have the word "exile" tattooed on your face, do you? Without this face, how can you deceive my young master?"
The door closed with a bang.
Zhu Manniang had the leverage over them, so she didn't dare to act like a troublemaker. She just spat at the door and was about to leave, but was stopped by a veiled middle-aged woman.
