Chapter 383 ·Anomaly

"It's really a coincidence!" Wu Jie explained with a smile, "When I went out this time, I happened to catch the guy from Dafangli to send wine to Shaoxing. I heard that the place I was going to be. This was my first time traveling far away. I was feeling uneasy, so I begged to go with them. One of them was very talkative and took good care of me along the way. We both got along well, and this thing was heard from him. It turned out that the Xiang family specially booked an inn in Shaoxing in order to marry their daughter. Because they had to use wine for weddings, the guy took it with him.

I saw the eldest master of the eldest house with a drink with several men from the Xiang family. After I heard that, I was afraid that he would coax me with words, so after I came out of Miss Lian's house, I looked for it according to the address he said. I don't know if I was worried that I had ulterior motives or were afraid of getting into trouble. The shopkeeper of the inn told me that although their inn was not big, there were always people who would take care of the wedding. Sometimes I met the poor person who was in trouble when he went out and even accepted the funeral. Therefore, I received a lot of people every day, and I might not even remember the events of last year, let alone the past when Aunt Xiang got married so long ago."

Mrs. Tang said, "The most important thing for people who do business like them is their winks, and they are even less willing to get into trouble. If you run over to inquire about things like this, they will definitely be cautious and will not tell you anything."

Wu Jie said, "But I didn't get anything. I asked some news from a guy. This guy has been working in the inn since he was eight years old. Because of his diligence and ability, he has been in the shop for more than ten years. However, he has owed a lot of gambling debts urgently to repay. After seeing me being turned away from the shopkeeper, he started to think about me. Not long after I went out, I found him secretly following him. Seeing that I was in the back, I had no choice but to see that I was so happy.

He stopped. He came up to bargain with me and asked me to get him some money, and then he told me everything he knew. I heard that he didn't want much, so he made a decision. After he got the money, he told me that a few years ago, there was indeed a family with the surname Xiang in the inn. Because the surname Xiang was relatively rare, he remembered it very clearly. In addition, the bride and groom were far apart at that time, so he still remembered it very vividly."

Mrs. Tang said to Mama Li, "These are all slippers who have been dealing with people all year round. They are the most familiar with people talking to people and talking to ghosts. Aunt Xiang has been married to the Tang family for seven or eight years. He can still tell these details that outsiders cannot know, which shows that he is not lying."

"I was also afraid that he would cheat me, so I asked in detail." Wu Jie said slowly, "My friend said that he heard that the family claimed to be from Ningbo, and one of the people called Second Master had an extremely hot temper and always got angry at every turn. The guy served tea and water in front of others, and was accused by him a lot. I heard him speak very well, and later I asked Mao Juren about it. Mao Juren said that the second master of the Xiang family was indeed a hot man. When he was a child, he was sick and burned his brain, so he was impulsive and angry. He often quarreled and wanted to kill people with a knife. The Xiang family was very afraid of him and did not dare to have any conflicts with him, for fear that he would make a life if he started to be cruel."

"Yeah!" Mrs. Tang nodded as she heard this, "After saying this, everyone was connected. The Xiang family was worried that marrying a daughter would cause unnecessary gossip, and she was afraid that Chongzhou would be more suspicious. Therefore, the marriage she got in Shaoxing was just because the Xiang family had built such a big circle, but it was all wasted. If Chongzhou had a little scheming in his mind, he would have figured out the problem. He was still in the dark today. Do you think he was confused or not?"

The last sentence was said to Mama Li.

Madam Li smiled helplessly, "Master..."

The words came to an abrupt end here and did not continue.

When Mrs. Tang saw that Wu Jie had finished everything he should say, he said with great satisfaction, "You are like this for the first time when you do things. It can be seen that you are a smart person. I won't say anything extra. You have been tired all the way, go back to your room to rest. When Rongxuan asked, just tell her the original words, but don't mention me. After that, she told you to do whatever she wanted, you would come and tell me. If I have something to do, I can't leave, tell Madam Li, I'm afraid that you two will be shocked and ruin my layout."

When Wu Jie heard that Mrs. Tang had already made arrangements for Aunt Xiang, he calmed down and said cautiously, "Yes, I've recorded them all."

Mrs. Tang waved her hand at him, and Wu Jie retreated out in a regular manner.

After Wu Jie left, Madam Li took advantage of the time of pouring tea to come to Mrs. Tang, "Old Madam, look at this matter..."

Mrs. Tang raised her head and stared at Madam Li, "The Xiang family is willing to go to Shaoxing to marry a daughter. It is definitely not just that she is afraid that the ugly things will be revealed. Although Chongzhou is confused, he is not a fool. He has been in Ningbo for so long, and it is impossible for the Xiang family to have never heard of the Xiang family. The reason why he is willing to marry Xiang family must be deceived by Xiang's words. I don't know what excuse Xiang has thought of and avoided the elopement in a noble way."

Madam Li said, "Maybe the master, like those who don't know the inside story, also thinks that the news of the elopement was a fake news released by the Yan family. Xiang Shi just went to the countryside to accompany her grandmother."

"Well, this is not impossible." Mrs. Tang's face was deep, "If Chongzhou had already known about the elopement in advance, the Xiang family would have gone to Shaoxing to see the bride without any trouble, there would definitely be some ulterior motives. Do you think...will it be..."

As soon as Madam Li got into the eyes of Mrs. Tang, she knew what she was going to say. He heard the sound and said, "No...no? Isn't Aunt Xiang pregnant at that time? The Xiang family may feel embarrassed, so they dare not speak out, right?"

"Do you think the Xiang family is like a person who cares about face when they hear Wu Jie's words? That's a nest of stinky fish and shrimps that cannot be on the table. Fame is like a piece of paper to them, and it is insignificant at all." Mrs. Tang's eyes were burning and shining with brilliance, "I just suspect this child..."

Madam Li was so scared that she opened her mouth wide, "How could it be? No matter how brave Aunt Xiang is, she would not dare to do such a confusing thing! If this is discovered, it would be lighter even if it is cut into pieces."

"Hmph!" Mrs. Tang smiled coldly, "Don't underestimate her. If this woman gets crazy, she can do anything. She elopes first and seduces Chongzhou later, and then becomes pregnant. Look at Chongzhou's body. He has been almost exhausted over the years. How much effort did she take to help Xuelian and Xueli? Why did she hit Xiang's place with one blow? Is there such a coincidence?"
