C69 (2/2)

When Shui Qingyan mentioned Aunt Wang, Zhang Jing immediately thought of Aunt Wang of the Peony Courtyard. He flung his sleeves and did not waste any more words with Shui Qingyan, and walked out the door.

”If Big Brother-in-law dares to go to the Aunt Wang in front of me tonight, I will tell Big Brother-in-law in front of a hundred officials the day after tomorrow that a concubine of Big Brother-in-law will be his wife.” Shui Qingyan said these threatening words leisurely.

Zhang Jing's footsteps paused for a moment, coldly snorted, and then left without turning back.

Shui Qingyan smiled as she watched Zhang Jing's leaving figure.

She had just gotten a very important piece of information from Zhang Jing's words. At least she now knew that Zhang Jing wasn't unintentional. Furthermore, Zhang Jing definitely could not go to Aunt Wang's place tonight, otherwise her plan would be ruined.

Zhang Jing walked over to the door with a gloomy face and opened it.

”Master, I'll go prepare the carriage when Fourth Miss leaves.” Ah Xiang said immediately.

”Leave. I would like her to leave.” Zhang Jing coldly snorted.

Ah Xiang immediately praised his face, staring straight at Zhang Jing: ”Old master, are you joking with Ah Xiang? Um, Imperial Mandate, if others knew, wouldn't we …”

”That's why you have to shut your mouth!” Zhang Jing said with a gloomy face.

Ah Xiang immediately pursed his lips.

Zhang Jing asked again: ”Are Dong Li Yard usually cleaned?”

Ah Xiang immediately nodded, ”It's so clean that not even a speck of dust can be found.”

Zhang Jing nodded his head: ”Bring the guests to the Dong Li Yard residence, and arrange for people to guard the courtyard. No one is allowed to enter, even the Second Aunt s are not allowed to. If she doesn't leave now, I have no choice but to keep it a secret. Don't go out for the next two days and stay in the manor. ”

”As soon as you're done, prepare the car.” With that, Zhang Jing started to walk towards the exit.

Ah Xiang immediately followed: ”Master is going out?”

”Nonsense!” Zhang Jing roared at Ah Xiang.

Ah Xiang stopped in his tracks, wiped the saliva off his face, and said: ”Ah Xiang is coming to arrange the guests right away.”

Zhang Jing did not even turn around.

After Zhang Jing left, Ah Xiang sighed. What kind of person was Fourth Miss? How could she hide this from him?

Not long after Zhang Jing left, Ah Xiang brought Shui Qingyan who was wearing a black cloak to the Dong Li Yard.

After Shui Qingyan left the living room, Peach Blossom who was returning to the Peony Courtyard returned.

From a distance, Peach Blossom saw Ah Xiang bringing a lady in a black cloak to the direction of the Dong Li Yard, then she walked towards the living room.

Just as he arrived at the door, he saw a maid who was carrying a used teacup out.

When the maid who was cleaning the place saw that it was the Aunt Wang, she immediately bowed and greeted, ”Greetings, Miss Peach Blossom.”

Seeing that, Peach Blossom immediately laughed and asked: ”Little sister, who was that person who just came? I saw Brother Ah Xiang bringing along his Dong Li Yard, could it be that some important guest has come?”

The servant girl shook her head, ”This servant does not know. The lord had forced us back and we did not see who it was. However, looking at the lipstick on the teacup, it seems to be a woman.” As she spoke, the maid showed the lipstick on the teacup to Peach Blossom.

As soon as Peach Blossom took a look, her heart jolted. This color was meant for females in their teens. Could it be that the old master had raised a woman as well?

Aunt Wang was first chopped by the old master before he was brought to the manor, Peach Blossom couldn't help but think that the old master might have resorted to using the same trick. Thinking of this, he asked, ”Could it be that the relatives of some family are here to seek refuge with the lord?”

The servant girl looked at Peach Blossom and understood what Peach Blossom was trying to do. She then spoke out everything she saw, ”I don't know. Master was alone in the living room. Then I saw a strange shadow posture, like the lord was there. ”

The maidservant said with a red face, then paused for a while and continued, ”After the Old Master left, he even specially instructed Ah Xiang to arrange Dong Li Yard for the customers so that no one is allowed to look at it, even Aunt Wang is not allowed.” As the maid spoke, she looked at Peach Blossom.

Peach Red's heart skipped a beat. When the Aunt Wang entered the residence, didn't the old master hide it from him, and upon thinking about it, she immediately took off the bracelet on her wrist, ”My good little sister, it's already so late. Can you hear where the old master is going?”

The servant girl looked around before putting the bracelet on her wrist. She looked at Peach Blossom and said, ”I don't know, but I heard someone in the room say, if you dare go there, I'll dare to do anything.” After finishing his words, he hurriedly left with the teacup in his hand.

”You.” Tao Hong was about to ask something else, but seeing that the servant girl had left, she clenched her teeth and glared at her. Then, she ran back to the Aunt Wang's courtyard.

When Aunt Wang first entered the residence, she also took advantage of Madam to return to her parents' house. Could it be that when the mistress wasn't here, the old master would bring back another woman?

His footsteps became faster as he thought about Peach Blossom.

Peony Court.

After the Aunt Wang heard Peach Blossom's words, sshe suddenly stood up, and the hairpin on her head shook: ”You said that Master has brought a woman back, and now that she is living in Dong Li Yard, he even has people guarding the gate. It's so late, and Master is still going out!”
