Chapter 622 Ants in a Hot Pot
Mrs. Cen frowned and looked at Mrs. Zhao, scolding: "What are you doing? What kind of trouble are you making?"
Mrs. Zhao's face turned pale and she looked frightened, and said: "What Miss Sixth said is really scary. I...I was frightened for a moment..." She had forgotten even the title of "concubine" at this moment.
Already.
Mrs. Cen and Mrs. Li looked at Ms. Zhao suspiciously, and finally Ms. Li said, "Don't scare your mother-in-law with your sudden surprise!"
Mrs. Li knew that older people can't help but be frightened.
"What Madam taught you is..." Mrs. Zhao lowered her head and admitted her mistake.
"Okay, sit down." Mrs. Cen still wanted to ask Cen Xiyan about what happened at Yuehua Temple, but she didn't want to waste time on Zhao.
However, Mrs. Zhao refused to sit back, but spoke again: "Old lady, eldest lady, I was shocked after hearing what the sixth lady said, and felt very uncomfortable. I will go back now."
Lie down for a while."
Cen Xiyan has been watching Zhao's reaction with a cold eye, knowing that she feels guilty. Now that she wants to go back and lie down, she probably wants to find a way to send a message, right?
However, Cen Xiyan is not worried about what kind of letter Zhao will really send. It is not very dark today. It is not that easy for Zhao to send someone out! Moreover, her people can always keep an eye on the Cen Mansion and Zhao's family.
Every move.
Furthermore, since Cen Lan can follow her to Yuehua Mountain and also lure her cheap father Cen Ao there, it shows that she is well prepared and may even have laid a dragnet. Is she still afraid that Zhao will escape?
When Mrs. Cen and Mrs. Li heard what Zhao said, they both glanced at her face. Seeing that her face was indeed very bad and a bit paler than before, they believed her words.
Mrs. Cen waved her hand to Mrs. Zhao and said, "Okay, then you can go back to your yard to rest."
When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she quickly bowed to Mrs. Cen and Mr. Li, and hurried outside.
Mrs. Cen and Mrs. Li looked at Zhao's somewhat messy steps and frowned at the same time. They felt that there was something wrong with Mrs. Zhao today, a bit weird.
However, they did not bother to think about Zhao's problem at this moment. After Zhao's figure disappeared, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked away and asked about Cen Xiyan's condition. If he was hurt, he was afraid to wait.
Cen Xiyan shook his head and said: "Fortunately, my father and third uncle went there in time. Xiyan was not injured by those gangsters, but he was indeed frightened. When I went down the mountain, my feet were soft because of the crystals."
After I returned to my house with the help of frost, I felt a little calmer."
"Poor child..." Old Mrs. Cen patted the back of Cen Xiyan's hand soothingly, and then said: "Just have dinner at grandma's place tonight, and I will ask the kitchen to cook you something delicious to calm your shock.
"
Cen Xiyan naturally agreed and stayed in Furong Garden to eat, and Li didn't leave either, so he stayed together.
When dinner was served, Cen Xiyan had a good appetite. Although his face still looked frightened, he actually ate a lot.
On the other hand, Mrs. Cen and Li's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were all thinking about what happened between Cen Xiyan and the gangsters today. They almost lost their appetite and didn't eat much. They were looking forward to Cen Ao and Cen Lan coming back early so they could investigate.
progress.
As for Mrs. Zhao, after returning to her courtyard, she hurriedly summoned Feng's mother, hoping that she would find a way to leave the house and deliver a message to Fan Jian.
She called several times but no one answered, and then she remembered that yesterday, Feng's mother said she was not feeling well and asked her to take leave to rest.
In fact, Ms. Zhao knew that Mother Feng's so-called illness was actually caused by her recent illness. She thought about it yesterday and didn't want to push the only confidant around her too hard, so she let her go yesterday.
Fake.
But Mrs. Zhao couldn't care about so much now. She quickly ordered a maid next to her to go to Mother Feng's house and call Mother Feng over.
The maid went away for a while and came back: "Madam, Mother Feng is not in her room..."
Mrs. Zhao frowned when she heard this and asked again: "But she went to someone else's house? Or ask others to know where she went!"
The maid was the eldest maid next to the Zhao family, and she was usually very clever. After hearing this, she said again: "When I go back to Madam, I have searched all the nearby houses, but I can't find Mother Feng. I also asked the courtyard
My sisters and several mothers-in-law, many people said that they didn’t see Mother Feng that day. But the people on night watch last night said that they saw Mother Feng and left the yard at dawn and never came back..."
When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she felt a thump in her heart and had a very bad premonition!
But at this moment, her mind was in a mess, and she couldn't think about where Feng's mother had gone. She just wanted to send a letter to Fan Jian as soon as possible!
But except for Feng's mother, there was no one around her who she could trust enough to let the other person know her secret. Zhao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, circling around the room several times, and finally gave up and planned to go out in person.
A trip to the house!
Although leaving the house this late at night was suspicious, and it was difficult to explain when asked, but now that things had come to this point, she could only take it one step at a time. When she came back, she would think of an excuse to deal with the old lady and Li.
Shi's bar.
Mrs. Zhao didn't even bother to change her clothes, so she just took two maids and walked out of the house.
She had to take those two maids with her. If she really left the house alone, the concierge might not let her out at all. He would have to find a way to get rid of them after she left.
Zhao's plan was very good, but when she arrived at the gate of the mansion, she was still stopped, and not by the concierge, but by the guards of the mansion. They said that the Marquis had an order that no one was allowed to leave the mansion after sunset.
!No matter what Zhao said, the guards would not let him go!
Zhao had no choice but to change a few side doors and small doors, intending to try her luck, but her luck was really bad. Everyone in the mansion was guarded by someone, and they strictly enforced their duties. It was Zhao who gave them money.
They were all returned, and they refused to accept payment or let them go!
Mrs. Zhao was anxious and angry, but she had no choice. Spending time at the door was too eye-catching, so she had no choice but to go back to her yard. Her heart seemed to be fried, and she felt doubly tormented.
It wasn't until around Youshizhong (eight o'clock in the evening) that Cen Ao and Cen Lan finally returned to Cen's mansion. Not only did they come back, but several people were also escorted back!
Cen Xiyan had dinner at Furong Garden and never left. She also accompanied Mrs. Cen and Mrs. Li, chatting here and there. She was actually counting the time, waiting for Cen Ao and Cen Lan.
When she comes back, if they go back to Jinglan Pavilion and they interrogate those people, they probably won't call her, so what fun can she have to watch!
Not only Cen Xiyan is still here with Mrs. Cen, but Cen Xiqin is also here. She heard that Cen Xiyan was back and stayed in Furong Garden for a long time without leaving. She thought something interesting happened when she left the house today.
