Chapter 339 Asking about Xie Meng'er
Chapter 339 Asking about Xie Meng'er
After being idle at home for another two days, Lai Fu reported the information he had collected about Xie Meng'er.
It turned out that after Chen Hongju and Xie Meng'er left the town, they went to Lihuagou.
Why did they go to Lihuagou? There were no relatives or friends of theirs in Lihuagou!
The main reason was that there was an old lover of Chen Hongju in Lihuagou. She was forced by Xie Zhishu to do the butchering business, and this lover was her regular customer, Ma Cheng!
When Ma Cheng was young, his family was poor, so he finally got married with a wife. After she gave birth to a son, she ran away overnight with a peddler who usually came to the village to sell goods.
So he raised the baby by himself with great difficulty. Over the past ten years, they lived a very tight life. However, he was lucky last year. He went up the mountain to dig up some good medicinal herbs and sold them for a good price in a pharmacy in the city. Now he has some money now!
The first thing he did after he became rich was to find a woman to vent his feelings on, but he couldn't afford to sleep with the women in Jiangbo City. He only went there after hearing from others that Chen Hongju charged cheaply. After the first time, there naturally came a second time, and he went there for quite a while in a row, so naturally he developed some feelings for her!
After Chen Hongju brought Xie Meng'er to his house, the two of them led a shameless life.
"I heard from the villagers that Ma Cheng usually went up the mountain to find some herbs to sell in the city, while Chen Hongju washed clothes for some rich families in the city."
Xie Jiaojiao nodded slightly after hearing this. This point was consistent with what Xie Meng'er said.
Lai Fu continued, "But Madam, I also heard from the villagers that Xie Meng'er...she is a little dishonest!"
"Oh? Not honest?"
Lai Fu nodded: "I heard that Xie Meng'er didn't know who had offended her, and a group of vicious people went to the village to look for Xie Meng'er!"
When he mentioned this, Xie Jiaojiao remembered the last time she came to Jiangbo City and saw Xie Meng'er being chased.
Is there any connection between these two things?
Lai Fu continued, "I continued to inquire in the village. Many women in the village said that Xie Meng'er's behavior was not decent. She even seduced the son of their village chief. There were also young men from the city who went to the village to look for her! I also heard that the village chief's son had a quarrel with his family because of Xie Meng'er!"
"Oh, and there's also something fishy going on between her and Ma Cheng's son, Ma Dabao! Before the flood, Ma Dabao had a fight with the village chief's son over Xie Meng'er. Ma Dabao even shouted that Xie Meng'er had slept with him!"
What? Xie Jiaojiao was speechless. After hearing what Lai Fu said, wasn't Xie Meng'er the ancient version of the bad girl Sea King? But how old was she? Fifteen or sixteen?
"Is this true?"
Lai Fu nodded: "Really! And the villagers said that it was because of what Ma Dabao said that Xie Meng'er and Chen Hongju left the village that day!"
Xie Jiaojiao thought about the scene she saw them in the town before the flood. Was it because they had nowhere to go, so they returned to the town and took refuge with Chen Hongju's parents?
"But if they left, how could Xie Meng'er save He Hu in Lihuagou?"
"I don't know about that, but Chen Hongju did die in this flood. She was buried by the villagers."
……
Xie Jiaojiao changed her mind.
"Then have you ever asked, to which family does the young master in the city belong?"
"The Shen family!" Lai Fu said immediately.
Xie Jiaojiao frowned: "Which family is the Shen family?"
Jiang Weinan explained, "It's the Shen family next door."
Xie Jiaojiao said, "His family? Didn't I hear that Jiang Che is engaged to his daughter?"
"Isn't it his house?"
"I thought he only had one daughter!"
Jiang Weinan waved his hand to express his disapproval.
"So when the He family accepted Xie Meng'er, did they not think of learning about Xie Meng'er's past?"
"I don't know."
Xie Jiaojiao nodded. Yes, who would doubt their savior?
Then he asked, "Is Ma Dabao still in Lihuagou?"
"Yes! But his father Ma Cheng also died in this flood!"
Chen Hongju is gone, and Ma Cheng is also gone. Could it be that these two were together when the flood came?
If they were together, then it would make sense why Xie Meng'er could save He Hu in Lihuagou.
"Madam, do you think we need to control Ma Dabao?"
Xie Jiaojiao looked at him with amusement: "Why control him? We should keep our troops in place so as not to alert the enemy. We will wait for Miss Cousin to write to us before we decide."
"Yes!"
Lai Fu responded and retreated.
Jiang Weinan sat next to Xie Jiaojiao.
"Don't you think you're tired of having so many things in your head every day?"
Xie Jiaojiao looked at him with a smile, her eyes bright: "How can I be tired? I find it much more interesting."
"Interesting? Xie Jiaojiao, you actually said this is interesting?"
What else? She had only seen this kind of thing on TV before, and now it was happening to her, so what was interesting?
"Okay, go do your thing, I'll look at the account book."
Jiang Weinan held her tightly and refused to let go: "Why are you looking at the account books? All day long, you're either looking at the account books or inspecting the store. It's so boring. Come on, let's go out and play on the street today!"
Xie Jiaojiao felt helpless as she was dragged along by him, and finally followed him to the street reluctantly.
……
In the following month, Xie Jiaojiao heard Lai Fu talk about He Hu becoming a monk several times.
But he was stopped by the He family every time. The last time, he ran to the temple and was about to become a monk, but he was caught again. This time, the He family realized the seriousness of the matter. In order to leave a bloodline for the He family, after He Hu was caught, the He family began to prepare for his marriage with Xie Meng'er.
Meanwhile, Xie Jiaojiao also received a reply from the capital. Li Yan'er still expressed her reluctance to part with He Hu. After reading it, Xie Jiaojiao handed the letter to Jiang Weinan, who nodded slightly after reading it: "It's not far from what you thought."
Xie Jiaojiao also sighed: "They are so in love, we should always help them, right?"
After saying that, he turned to Chunxiang who was serving beside him and said, "Go and call Laifu."
When Lai Fu heard the young lady calling him, he stopped what he was doing and came over immediately.
"Young Madam, you are looking for me."
Xie Jiaojiao looked at him and ordered, "Go find Ma Dabao from Lihuagou."
Then he took out two more letters and handed one of them over: "Go find a beggar on the street to deliver this letter to the He family."
Then he handed over another letter: "Find another beggar to deliver this one to the young master of the Shen family next door."
When Lai Fu heard this, his eyes lit up and he turned around to do his work.
Jiang Weinan put his arm around Xie Jiaojiao's shoulders and said, "This is going to be a good show. Aren't you afraid that the He family will lose its reputation and business because of this?"
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
