Chapter 144 Plans for Temporary Changes

At this time, the two maids walked in, dressed exactly the same and looked exactly the same.

One of them said with a smile: "Fourth Young Master, it's time for you to apply medicine."

Chen Xiao nodded and said to the old men: "It's getting late, everyone go to bed earlier, there will be more people coming tomorrow."

That's right. After Princess Zhaoyang and Eunuch Lao came, the news that Mr. Chen's return was confirmed.

The old men retreated in response. As soon as they walked out of Mulan Hall, a servant ran over: "Boe Xiang, the eldest aunt and the third son of the second wife are all here."

Xiang Bo subconsciously looked up at the moon and asked, "It's so late, why are they here?"

"Yes, it was said that Shuntian Mansion came to deliver the letter, and the second young master was killed." The servant said.

It turns out that's the matter.

Xiang Bo was relieved, but he didn't expect that the second wife had just received the news of Chen Feng's death, and Shuntian Mansion was really slow to do things.

"Since the eldest aunt and the third young master are here, please invite them to the small flower hall in the front yard. I'll go over and take a look."

Xiang Bo said as he walked out. The servant was stunned and hurriedly said, "They said they wanted to see the fourth young master."

Xiang Bo sneered, the eldest son of the second wife died, and such a big thing happened. If he really wanted to repay the death, he would just let the affairs come over. Since the eldest aunt and the third son came in person, it would not be a reply to the death, but a test.

"Bastard, the fourth young master was seriously injured. Don't you know?" Xiang Bo scolded, and the servant understood and ran away.

Xiang Bo left in a hurry, and Lao Yang and several other old men were not sleepy either. Since the fourth son came back, they have been excited to sleep. What if they wake up and the fourth son disappeared again?

"Old Yang, we haven't scolded you yet. We have temporarily changed the plan. Why didn't you notify everyone?" An old man knocked on Lao Yang's shoulder.

Lao Yang dodged away and said, "Are you talking about going to the second floor? I really can't blame me for this. I didn't know about it beforehand. It was not until I rushed into the garden that I found that the fourth young master led the assassin to the second floor."

"Then this is strange. The second floor is not suitable for attack. The fourth young master will change to outside the prince's new house." Another old man said.

"Well, eighteen or ninety, there is an emergency. The fourth young master has to change his plan temporarily. It's just that this is too risky. If we get one step late and the fourth young master is one to three, then the second floor will not even have a way out."

"You can jump off the building without a retreat."

"Nonsense, the Fourth Young Master's injury has not healed yet, how can he jump?"

"The fourth young master was injured on his head, not his legs and feet, so of course he could jump."

"I said I can't jump, I can't jump."

"You don't care. The fourth young master will jump if he wants to!"

...

The old men's quarrel gradually faded away, and amaranth and shepherd's purse closed the door of Mulan Hall.

At this time, celery came out with a basin of water. Amaranth hurriedly walked forward and gestured at celery. The celery's brows gradually frowned. The young master temporarily changed his plan in the plum garden? What happened in the plum garden?

In the room, the spinach had been applied to the medicine. When he saw celery coming in with a basin of water, he got up and moved aside. He twisted the celery clean handkerchief and wanted to wipe Chen Xiao.

"No, I'll do it myself." Chen Xiao took the veil and washed his face with clean water, and said, "You all retreat. Mulan Hall is very safe. You don't have to stay here, go to bed."

Celery looked at Chen Xiao, but she wanted to say something. She should not ask the young master what Amaranth told her just now. Since the young master came back this time, he has been separated from them all.

The next day, the news of Chen Feng's death spread throughout the capital. Compared with this news, Chen Xiao's return seemed less noticeable.

After all, there are only a few people who know the identity of Mr. Chen. If it weren't for someone who saw Mr. Zhaoyang and Mr. Lao going to the Yongguo Duke's Mansion yesterday, these families in the capital began to inquire, and only found out that Mr. Chen had returned. As for the identity of Mr. Chen, there are two statements now: one is that Chen Xiao is the outer child of Mr. Chen Lingze of the Yongguo Duke, and now he has recognized his ancestors and returned to his hometown; the other is that Chen Xiao is a child of the Shen family's side branch. There is no one in the Shen family's house, so he adopted the male Ding Chengcheng from the side branch to inherit the incense.

But no matter which statement is, it cannot stand the scrutiny. The wife of Duke Yong has been dead for sixteen years. If Duke Yong had an outer child, why did he not take it back until now? Besides, although there is no one in the Shen family's house, there are still second houses. Isn't it enough to adopt one from the second house?

After all, the topic returned to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng is the eldest son of the second house. Now he is dead, dead on the street where people come and go.

There have been murders in the streets in the capital, but they are mostly fighting and fighting with gangsters. People in the capital have only seen them in their writing books, not to mention that the one who died was the princes of the noble family.

Chen Xia, the eldest aunt of the second wife of the Shen family, married Liu Hui, the eldest son of the Liu family. Although Liu Hui had a thousand families, he had no real flaws. It was not long ago that Liu Hui got a real job and went to Shanxi. Chen Xia grew up in the capital and was spoiled. After arriving in Shanxi, he dated the families of low-priced military officers all day long. Not long after, Liu Hui had no choice but to send her back to the capital. The in-laws' family never dared to provoke her daughter-in-law, who was born in Yongguo Mansion, and when she came back, she had to let her go. Chen Xia lived in her parents' home for eight days in ten days.

The eldest wife of the second wife, Wu, is the second wife, who is from a small family. Chen Xia never takes this stepmother seriously. The second wife is observing her words and expressions, so she is unwilling to confront her head. After a while, whenever the eldest aunt is in her parents' home, the servants will report to her first and then to the eldest wife Wu.

Yesterday, Chen Xia was bombarded by Feiyuwei in the Duke of Yongguo's mansion. She did not dare to provoke Feiyuwei, so she could only suffer a loss. She returned to the mansion and scolded Wu and Chen Li, who was born by Wu.

After cursing, she saw that her younger brother Chen Feng, who was still in front of her, sneaked away. She looked around and found that Chen Feng was hiding under a tree and hugging her maid.

Chen Xia slapped the girl a few words and even scolded Chen Feng. Chen Feng was already annoyed and was complained by his sister in front of the maid, so he simply left the house.

Chen Xia thought Chen Feng was going out for fun, but he didn't expect Chen Feng to die on the street.

"This must be done by Chen Xiao, it must be him!" Chen Xia gritted his teeth and smashed everything in the room.

Last night, she took her cousin Chen Han to the Duke of Yongguo Mansion overnight, but she didn't even see Chen Xiao's hair, and was blocked by the old man Xiang Bo.

"Have the person who sent the letter to the master gone out?" Chen Xia shouted.

The eldest master of the second house, Chen Linghong and the second master of the second house, Gan Jin, took a job as a river worker. Now they went to Tianjin Guard. Last night, Chen Xia sent back the news of Chen Feng's death, and Chen Xia sent someone to send a letter to Tianjin overnight, but was stopped by the flag bearer guard at the city gate, saying that a murder case occurred in Shuntian Mansion. Even if there is an official certificate, he could not leave the city at night.

In desperation, the Shen family had to wait until dawn to open the city gate today before sending the letter of disposal. However, in this way, the eldest and second masters would probably not be able to rush back until tomorrow.
