Chapter 604: Private Meeting with Qiu Yu, Each with His Own Heart
"Miss, it's not good, it's not good..." Mo Yan rushed in, looking at Shao Yanru in the room with panic eyes, his face turned pale.
"What's all the fuss about? The maid next to me looks like she's not growing up?" Shao Yanru's smiling face turned cold and she said coldly, but she had a bad feeling in her heart. She just picked up the teacup and put it on the But he didn't drink it immediately.
Mo Yan is his confidant and someone who can withstand things. When has he ever been so flustered?
There was a big stain on her dress and her knees, and it was obvious that she had fallen down before.
"Miss, something happened, the woman was caught!" Mo Yan took a deep breath and said.
"What kind of mother-in-law?" Shao Yanru said casually, but after saying that, his expression immediately changed. He stood up suddenly and said with a gloomy face, "What's going on?"
"It was said that the fifth lady was deceived into getting out of the carriage, and something did happen to the carriage. However, a maid named Qing'er did not die. She unexpectedly jumped out of the carriage, and then insisted that the incident was caused by the eldest lady sending that mother-in-law. The woman went to handle it, but the woman panicked and pinched the maid's hand, but someone saw that a pair of people from the Jingzhao Yin Yamen happened to go to the foot of Yuhui'an Mountain to investigate the case, and they arrested the woman. !”
Mo Yan nervously wiped the cold sweat from his face and explained the matter eloquently.
"Then the woman didn't run away, why was she still there being caught?" Shuqi also panicked and asked urgently.
"My slave doesn't know what's going on. She obviously gave the woman a large sum of money to fly away, but now she didn't escape and was caught by others. What will the eldest lady do now? What if she surrenders this slave to her? If you come out, this slave will be dead!" Mo Yan cried in fear.
It was Mo Yan who went to bribe this woman. How could Mo Yan not panic at this time?
"Did you go alone?" The tea cup in Shao Yanru's hand fell heavily on the table, her face looked ugly, and she thought for a while and asked.
"No...not alone..." Mo Yan shook his head hurriedly, his face flushed with panic, "There is also a woman. I was afraid that this woman would do something bad, so I went with her."
"Is that mother-in-law here?" Shao Yanru asked coldly.
"It's...it's still there..." Mo Yan said.
"Find an excuse and say that she stole something from her mother's yard and kill her!" Shao Yanru closed his eyes coldly, and when he opened them he looked stern.
"Yes, it's Miss, I'll let someone do it right away!" Mo Yan said hurriedly, turning around in a panic to run out, but was stopped by Shao Yanru with a stern face, "Let Shuqi go! I have something else to ask you!" "
"Yes, miss, I'll be there right now!" Shuqi said calmly. As Shao Yanru's maid, she was quite good at doing this kind of thing. She turned around and said yes before walking out.
Naturally, this mother-in-law cannot be kept here, otherwise something may happen when the investigation comes to the house!
"Where did this news come from?" Shao Yanru looked at Mo Yan and asked. To be cautious, she did not leave anyone to watch at the foot of Yuhui Temple, because Qin Yuru had someone there.
It would be even more inappropriate for the two of them to meet. She couldn't even let people find out that she was involved in the matter.
"It's from the Ministry of Punishment... Mr. Qiu Yuqiu sent a servant here, saying that the matter has been reported to the Ministry of Punishment immediately. The people involved here are not those Jing Zhaoyin can handle, so this matter has to be handled by the Ministry of Punishment." Mo Yan was so worried that he almost cried. If it was just Jing Zhaoyin, this matter would be easier to handle, but if it was the Ministry of Punishment, it might not be a serious matter.
Even though the mother-in-law who went with her was dealt with, she was still very timid, fearing that she would really fall into it.
If others didn't know what kind of person her young lady was, how could she not know it? If it really came to that point, she might not even be able to save her life.
"Qiu Yu!" Shao Yanru groaned, frowning tightly. She really didn't want to have too much involvement with Qiu Yu. She knew exactly what Qiu Yu thought about her, and she was afraid that he would be too deliberate. Some, so much so that they eventually got out of hand.
She has often heard of so-called infatuation but actually doing the wrong thing!
But now I have to use Qiu Yu.
"Is the person still waiting outside?" Shao Yanru took a deep breath and made up her mind. No matter what, she would know about it first.
"Yes! Still waiting outside the back door." Mo Yan said in a panic.
Shao Yanru nodded, walked to the desk, picked up the pen and ink, thought for a moment, and then wrote a sentence. After the ink was slightly dry, he folded the paper and put it into a blank envelope, "Give this letter to The boy who brought the message."
"Yes, don't worry, miss, I will take care of it right now!" Mo Yan took the letter and hurriedly assured him, and then calmed down before walking out of Shao Yanru's house.
A woman from Duke Xingguo's mansion actually stole the hairpin from Duke Xingguo's wife. After she was found out, she insisted that she had not stolen it. Later, when there were both witnesses and physical evidence, she cried and begged Mrs. Xingguo for mercy. Mrs. Xingguo hated her. She had made quibbles before and was immediately beaten to death.
This incident made all the servants in Duke Xingguo's Mansion tremble with fear the whole night. They all felt that there seemed to be this woman's wail in the air. In the past, it was not that the masters did not order the servants to be dealt with, but basically it was all done privately. It was never the case that he was secretly punished inside. This time, many servants were specially called to watch the execution.
The servants returned tremblingly, each of them feeling as if there were ghosts in the dim light, and they became more and more frightened and guilty.
When I returned to my place of residence, I settled in early.
No one noticed that when most of the people in the yard were called away to watch the execution, Shao Yanru left his yard with the maid, went out through the back door, got into a carriage at the door, and then the carriage left the Xingguo Duke's Mansion.
The carriage did not go to the street all the way, but mostly walked through deserted alleys. Fortunately, the carriage driver was familiar with this road, and he did not go the wrong way even in the dark.
The oil-walled carriage moved forward and came to a restaurant. The restaurant was doing good business. It was a time when there were many people coming and going. When they saw two women coming down, the waiter hurriedly greeted them with a smile.
The maid blocked Shao Yanru, who was wrapped tightly in a cloak, and said the name of a private room. The waiter responded with a smile, shouted loudly, and enthusiastically led them to the second floor, and then turned around Go inside and open the door of a private room inside.
When the door opened, Qiu Yu stood there with an excited look on her face. Her eyes fell on the tightly wrapped Shao Yanru. She thought she was just running over to deliver a letter, but she didn't expect that the woman he loved would actually meet him. On his own side, this kind of unexpected joy makes it difficult for Qiu Yu to calm down even now.
His face was slightly red and his eyes were nervous.
The maid waved her hand and told the waiter to leave. The waiter smiled and exited, and specially closed the door for them. One look at the situation of the man and woman and she felt that this was not a good idea.
Although the man didn't hide it at all, seeing the woman's excited face turned red when she appeared, it was clear that the relationship between the two was unusual. In addition, the woman was covered up tightly, and she was clearly afraid of seeing people.
However, this kind of situation is really not uncommon among men. The situation where men and women meet secretly in private is really nothing to them.
They are open for business and don't care about this kind of thing, as long as they can make money!
The couple in front of me at this time may be here for another secret meeting!
After the clerk went out, he specifically winked at the clerk at the top of the stairs. The clerk immediately understood and looked curiously at the door he had just come out of, nodded understandingly and laughed.
In fact, such guests are easier to deal with and more generous than other guests. Doesn’t the restaurant need such guests?
The food and drinks inside had already been ordered, but when he saw Shao Yanru taking off the cloak on his head, Qiu Yu still handed over the menu at hand: "Miss, let's see if there is anything else you want to eat, order it and let them come up together." !”
"It's up to me!" Shao Yanru's mind was not on eating at this time, but he couldn't help showing an anxious look on his face and said with a slight smile.
"How can I order it? It's rare to invite a young lady, so I'd better order one or two as a favor!" Qiu Yu couldn't disappoint the beauty, but he still handed over the recipe, as if Shao Yanru would waste it without ordering it. It really made Shao Yanru unhappy.
She still wanted to ask Qiu Yu. Even though she didn't like it, she could only suppress her temper and order a few dishes before sitting down again.
Qiu Yu looked at the dishes she ordered, remembered them secretly, and asked the waiter to take them out and let the waiter bring the dishes.
After sitting down, he picked up the teapot and poured a cup for Shao Yanru. He pushed the tea in front of Shao Yanru with a smile on his face, and his eyes became more and more intense.
"Miss Shao, please have some tea!"
The Miss Shao in front of me is really pleasing to the eye.
"Master Qiu, I would like to ask about today's matter. Why is someone involved in me? Is it possible that someone else is displeased with our Duke Xingguo's mansion?"
Shao Yanru was really not in the mood to chat with her. After taking the tea, he took a sip and was silent for a moment before raising his head and saying softly.
Because she was anxious, sad, and even a little bit angry, she looked pitiful and heart-wrenching.
Qiu Yu felt very distressed and wanted to reach out to touch her and comfort her, but she also knew that it would be rude to do so at this time.
I secretly rejoiced in my heart. Fortunately, I got the news and immediately passed the news to Miss Shao. Otherwise, if everyone knew about it tomorrow, what else would happen to him, let alone Miss Shao specially asking him to meet.
The time and place were all chosen by Miss Shao, which shows her eagerness to see him. Miss Shao must also be interested in her! Otherwise, I would not have a private meeting with myself at night.
With this thought in mind, his eyes became more and more affectionate.
"Don't worry, I will always protect you. This matter is just an explanation now. The specific situation depends on tomorrow's situation. Originally, this matter has nothing to do with you. It should not involve you. That's the one The maid is crazy, it’s just nonsense, you don’t need to take it to heart!”
Qiu Yu comforted Shao Yanru softly.
