After His Majesty was reborn, the poor little girl in his previous life was spoiled to death

In the east courtyard, the room in front of Old Madam Zhu was already full. Seeing that all the masters had arrived, Xiu Yu leaned over and whispered a few words to the old lady. After getting her approval, she went down to lead the people up.

Xiu Yu bowed and said, "Madam, Madam, Second Master, the person has been brought here."

Everyone raised their eyes to look, and saw a middle-aged man in his thirties standing in the hall. He was wearing an indigo-colored cross-collared straight-necked robe with dark patterns embroidered on it. There was a shrewd look between his eyebrows, and his cheeks were full and white. It was obvious that he was a wealthy man who had no worries about food and clothing.

He looked 50% similar to Matron Liu. As soon as he entered the room, he knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "I pay my respects to the old lady. I wish you longevity." He then paid his respects to the masters sitting on the seats one by one.

When Xiu Yu saw this, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This man was so rude in front of them, but fortunately, when he met the master and the lady, he still knew the rules of respect and etiquette.

Since they were in the Marquis' Mansion, Madam Zhu was naturally in charge. She looked up and down at the man kneeling in the hall and said, "Are you Liu Kui's son? Stand up. What's your name?"

The man stood with his hands down and said respectfully, "I am the eldest son of my family. My surname is Liu and my name is Changshun."

"Liu Changshun," Old Madam Zhu said in surprise, "You took your mother's last name."

Liu Changshun replied, "That's right. My father died early, and my brothers and sisters were raised by our maternal grandfather when we were young, so we all took our mother's surname."

When her children were very young, Liu Kui sold herself to the Luo family and became Luo Miaoyun's wet nurse. She was away from home for many years. After her husband passed away, she had to entrust her children to her parents' care. The money she received was sent back to her parents every month by someone for their upbringing.

Fortunately, her father had some insight and, seeing that his daughter was quite useful in the Luo family and might have good fortune in the future, he devoted himself to educating his grandson in order to make plans for the future.

As expected, Luo Miaoyun married into the Xinyuan Marquis's mansion and became a first-class marquis' wife. She later gave birth to a boy and a girl, and she enjoyed great fame. Her wet nurse Liu's worth also rose with the tide. Not to mention the gold, silver and jewelry, she also received a favor from her master, and her family was freed from slavery and transformed into a decent wealthy family.

Mrs. Zhu saw that he was quite logical in his speech and was not a street rogue, so she asked, "What do you want to say about your mother?"

Liu Changshun kowtowed and said urgently, "I have no right to speak in front of the old lady, but since my mother came to your house that day, there has been no news since then. There is no son in this world who does not worry about his mother. Please give me a clear explanation, old lady!"

Shen Chongyao, who was standing by, saw the old lady frowning, so he asked in a deep voice, "Since you haven't seen me for so many days, why didn't you come to look for me earlier? Why did you wait until today to find me and then become anxious?"

Liu Changshun looked up and saw that the man sitting there was handsome, graceful, and indescribably noble. He couldn't help but tremble and said, "My Lord, it's not that I'm not anxious. It's just that before my mother left the house, she told us that she was going to visit the Marquis's wife. We haven't seen her for a long time, so it's reasonable for her to stay a few more days. Who would have thought that today you would come to our house and ask about our mother's whereabouts, so I'm anxious."

Mrs. Luo, who was listening quietly at the side, spoke up. She said slowly, "So, after Madam Liu entered the Marquis' Mansion, she never left again, let alone returned home, is that right or not?"

Shen Chongyao chuckled and took over the conversation: "Madam Luo, Liu's son said that he did not see his mother at home, but whether he was in or out of the house is still unknown."

Luo Miaoyun's face showed anger. She asked, "Second brother, you were clearly there that day. Are you also going to call a spade a spade and say that Mama Liu wasn't at the mansion?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall became a little stagnant. Shen Chongyao remained calm, not showing any embarrassment at all, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, although Chongyao is useless, I can guarantee that your wet nurse is definitely not in the Marquis's Mansion."

Luo Miaoyun ignored the look her mother was giving her and angrily said, "How could a person disappear? She is an old mother, not a virgin, could she be kidnapped out of the mansion?"

"Miao Yun!" Old Madam Zhu interrupted her and said dissatisfiedly, "You are the eldest sister-in-law, how can you talk to Chong Yao like this?"

Luo Miaoyun dug her long nails into her palms. She remembered her mother's earnest admonitions and said with all her might, "The old lady taught me that, and I know about it."

The invisible smell of gunpowder filled the room, and Xiu Yu couldn't help but look at Xiang Ming.

Old Madam Luo smoothed things over: "We are all family, there is nothing we can't talk about peacefully. Is it worth damaging the harmony between us for a wet nurse?" She pretended to be angry and said: "Miao Yun, you have really been spoiled by your mother-in-law. You are not as sensible as before you got married."

Madam Zhu nodded, "There is really no reason to come to look for the master for the sake of the servants." She glanced at her daughter-in-law, and thinking of her grandchildren, her tone softened a little, "We are involved in this lawsuit for no reason. We want to find Madam Liu more than anyone else, but she is really not in the mansion. If you don't believe me, you can stay in the mansion for a few days. The two families will work together and we will find her."

Seeing her sincere tone, Mrs. Luo seemed to believe that Liu Kui was not in the hands of the Shen family. She couldn't help but wonder in her heart, is she really not in the Marquis' Mansion? Then where could she be?

----

They argued with each other for a long time, but they finally avoided a quarrel.

Shen Chongyao took off his hat and turban with a tired look: "Lord Lu and Miss Ning, when did you leave?"

Fei Xing carefully helped the master change his clothes and quickly replied, "It was only two quarters of an hour after the master left that Miss Ning and Lord Lu left."

Shen Chongyao pondered for a moment, then told the maidservant in the room, "Grind the ink." He wrote a handwritten letter in one stroke. When the ink dried, he took out a letter and put it away, then handed it to the maidservant, "Send this letter to Miss Ning's room immediately. If she has any instructions, bring it back to me."

When Ning'er received the letter, she had already taken off her outer coat and was washing up and preparing to rest.

She ordered Chuncao, "Go and ask this sister to have some tea, so I can take a look." Then she sat down on the edge of the bed, lit the lamp a little, and unfolded the letter to read it.

Shen Chongyao's handwriting was neat and tidy. In just a few words, he explained the negotiations among the people in the hall very clearly.

Ning'er put down the letter, thinking about something. The old lady forced the old lady of the Luo family to stay for a while, so there was naturally no reason for Luo Miaoyun and Shen Chengying to go back alone.

Liu Kui was now unconscious in Ye Zhen's courtyard. It was impossible for the Luo family mother and daughter to expect to find Liu Kui in the mansion. But on the other hand, if they really stayed there, Ye Zhen, as an old servant, would have to meet him in person.

She thought for a moment and called the maid over: "Sister, please tell the second master for me and ask him to..."
