After the system ran, I took off with my family
Chapter 101 Teahouse News
Lin Shuyue likes to eat wontons. When she lived in the county town, she often went to Liuji Wonton Shop early in the morning to eat a bowl of hot wontons. The soup was made with dried shrimp powder and sprinkled with a handful of chopped green onions, which was very fresh and fragrant.
"Dad, Mom, are you going to look for Brother Wu later?" Lin Shuyue finished eating the wontons and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief.
"Yes, I asked before. There are three optical schools in the county town, and there are also two private schools opened by scholars, so I want Yuan An to help me make some inquiries."
Li was a little worried. Her second son was fourteen years old this year and had just started school. She didn't know whether the teacher would accept him.
Lin Shuyue nodded. She was not worried about her second brother's studies. He had been drinking the spiritual spring water for almost a year, plus the marrow cleansing pills he had taken before. As long as he didn't do anything wrong, there would be no problem.
After Li and Lin An went to the county government office to find Wu Yuanan, Lin Shuyue came to Qingfeng Tower leisurely.
As usual, she found a seat in the corner of the lobby and sat down. She asked the waiter to bring her a pot of scented tea and a plate of cloud cake. As usual, she listened to the people in the lobby talking about what had happened recently in the county.
"It's a pity that this good restaurant Wufulou has to close down like this and it can't be sold. I heard that the people who asked about the price before were warned by the people from Wanhelou across the street. Wanhelou is too overbearing."
"That's right, Shopkeeper Hu is so worried that his hair is turning white, but who made the owner of Wanhe Tower get involved with our parents?
Now his daughter has not yet entered the parents' backyard. If she is really brought into the mansion, then Wan Dafu will be so proud. "
"Tsk tsk...it's true that even a hero can be tempted by a beautiful woman."
Lin Shuyue paused while drinking tea. Is he talking about Brother Wu? Aren't they on good terms with each other? Is there any misunderstanding?
There is also a restaurant opposite the Wanhe Tower that is up for sale, so maybe she could go and take a look.
After finishing a pot of tea, she stood up and left, walking towards the main street in the south of the city. After walking for a cup of tea, she saw from afar the sign at the entrance of Wanhe Tower swaying in the wind.
It was noon, but Wanhe Tower was deserted. The waiter was sitting in the lobby, bored, watching the passers-by coming and going.
Opposite the Wanhe Tower, there was a restaurant with its door half-open and the sign on the door taken down. At the entrance of the restaurant, two ferocious-looking men were scanning the surroundings.
Lin Shuyue thought for a moment, then walked away. The man guarding the door glanced at her back casually and then looked away.
When they returned to the house, Qinggu was feeding the horses. Lin Shuyue guessed that her parents had returned and went straight to the front hall.
Before I got closer, I saw a maid and a woman standing at the door of the front hall, both of them had sad faces.
Lin Shuyue had seen them before. They were Sister Yujiao's dowry mother and maid Luyu.
When Mother Gui and Lu Yu saw her, they quickly restrained their expressions and bowed to her.
"This servant has met Miss Lin."
He Yujiao in the hall heard the voice, turned around quickly, wiped away her tears, and calmed herself down.
Lin Shuyue nodded and stepped into the front hall.
"Mom, I'm back." Lin Shuyue called to Li, and then took He Yujiao's hand affectionately: "Sister-in-law Yujiao, you are here."
"Xiao Ya is back? Did you go to the teahouse again?" He Yujiao spoke to her as usual, but Lin Shuyue soon noticed that her eyes were a little swollen and her eye sockets were slightly red.
She suddenly had a bad guess in her mind, thinking that what those people in the teahouse had just said might be true.
Lin Shuyue suppressed her emotions and complained with a pout, "Yeah, the storyteller's story today was not good at all, there was nothing new, we still have to go back to the village to have fun."
Li tapped her forehead and said with a smile, "You're bored listening to books and drinking tea."
At this time, Aunt Wang came to the door and reported: "Madam, lunch is ready."
"Let's arrange lunch in the flower hall in the inner courtyard. The three of us will eat there at noon." Li gave the order.
Lin Shuyue was a little confused, "Mom, why did Aunt Wang come to the county town?"
Li explained in detail: "Your father has returned to the village and asked Qingwu to send Aunt Wang to the city. She will stay here and take care of your second brother's daily life."
"It's an unfortunate coincidence today. Your elder brother Wu went to Wuhua Town to investigate the people's conditions. However, we met the officer who sent us to Lanshan Village last time at the gate of the county government.
The soldier said that the teacher at Yuhua School is good, so your father and I plan to go to Yuhua School tomorrow to take a look."
Lin Shuyue nodded, and then took He Yujiao's hand: "Okay, let's go eat, sister-in-law Yujiao, come on, after dinner I'll take you to see my small yard."
After sending He Yujiao's nanny and maid to eat, Li scooped a bowl of soup for He Yujiao.
"Thank you, auntie." He Yujiao lowered her head and drank the delicious fish soup, her eyes a little moist.
Mrs. Li touched her head and said, "Silly child, I told you that when you come to your aunt's house, you should treat it as your own home."
"Sister Yujiao, if you don't mind, could you tell me what happened? I can help you with some ideas."
Lin Shuyue felt a little uncomfortable when she saw He Yujiao, who was obviously much quieter than before.
When He Yujiao saw the concern in her eyes, she could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes and threw herself into Li's arms, sobbing.
After a long while, she calmed down and then told the story in detail.
The night before yesterday, Wu Yuanan came back from outside drunk. Wu Mo, his personal servant who helped him back, explained that he had had dinner with several wealthy families in the city at Wanhe Tower and drank some wine.
He Yujiao didn't think much about it at the time. After all, her husband did need to socialize sometimes after taking office here. After asking the maid to help her husband back to the room, she asked the maid to fetch some water so that she could wipe her husband's body.
Just as I was about to unbuckle his belt, I saw a red lipstick mark on his collar.
He Yujiao felt her mind go blank, as if the sky was about to fall. She looked at her husband who was drunk unconscious, and remembered what he said on their wedding night, that they would be together forever. The overwhelming pain almost suffocated her.
That night, she stayed awake until dawn, convincing herself again and again in her heart that perhaps this was a misunderstanding, and she would forgive her husband after he woke up and explained himself to her.
Unexpectedly, when Wu Yuanan woke up the next day, he acted as if nothing had happened and continued to handle official business as usual.
She waited and waited, until the evening, but she still didn't get any explanation from him.
After dinner yesterday, she couldn't hold it in any longer and wanted to ask a question, but she saw her husband looking at her seriously.
Originally she thought her husband wanted to explain to her, but he paused for a moment and said that he would visit Wuhua Town the next day and would not be in the county government office during the day.
Hearing this, she could no longer hold back the grievance and anger in her heart. She pushed Wu Yuanan out of the room and hid in the room crying.
Wu Yuanan just thought that his wife was reluctant to leave him, so after comforting her for a few words outside the door, he went back to the study and slept for the night.
When he left home this morning, he comforted He Yujiao, saying that he would be back soon after finishing his work.
