Chapter 331 Kneeling Gorgeously
Chapter 331 Kneeling Gorgeously
Shen Wen escaped from the Buddhist temple and decided to meet Second Grandma Ji. He intuitively felt that Second Grandma Ji was the key.
Shen Wen used space transfer again and soon arrived at Grandma Ji's yard. Grandma Ji's yard was very quiet. Except for two maids who were dozing off while guarding the door, no other maids were seen.
Shen Wen knocked the two maids unconscious and quietly entered Second Madam Ji's room, but there was no one in the room, not even Second Madam Ji.
This caught Shen Wen off guard.
She didn't have time to think and quickly retreated from the room. At this moment, a maid came and saw the two fainted women. She was so frightened that she was about to scream.
Fortunately, Shen Wen was quick to cover the maid's mouth and threatened her not to shout out. Shen Wen said, "Let me ask you, where did your Second Madam Ji go?"
The maid was covered with her mouth, so she couldn't give him an answer. Shen Wen threatened her again, and she nodded in fear and promised not to shout, and then he let her go. The maid said palely: "My second wife Ji was in a bad mood, and Aunt Yinhua accompanied her to the small garden to relax."
Shen Wen said: "You didn't lie to me?"
The maid said she didn't lie to him.
Shen Wen asked, "What about your second son Chu Yanqiu? Why don't I see him?"
The maid said, "She was locked up in the woodshed by my second wife, Madam Ji." She pointed in a direction and said it was at the end of the kitchen in the southwest.
Before the maid could retract her fingers from mid-air, she was knocked unconscious by Shen Wen's knife. Shen Wen caught the maid who was about to fall, gently dragged her into Second Madam Ji's room, then closed the door and left Second Madam Ji's yard.
Outside the door of the firewood room in the southwest, Chi He, holding a bowl of rice, secretly walked to the window of the firewood room and said to the inside window: "Master, there is food to eat. I saw someone in the kitchen specially left it there. I think it must be Madam Ji who deliberately left it there. Master, please take it and have a bite."
Chu Yanqiu was standing by the window thinking about something. When he heard Chi He say this, even though he hadn't had a drop of water or a bite of food, he still said, "Take it back. I'm not hungry."
Chi He underestimated Chu Yanqiu's perseverance. Chu Yanqiu, who was determined to marry Shen Wen as his wife, could only tell his mother in this way that he had made up his mind.
Chi He was anxious, but what his master wanted to achieve was not something that he, a servant, could change, so he had no choice but to obey his master.
Chu Yanqiu asked Chi He, "Did anything happen in the mansion today?"
For some reason, Chu Yanqiu always felt that something was about to happen.
Chi He hesitated for a moment before saying, "That Seventeenth Master Shen is too bold. He even dares to offend Second Madam Ji. I heard that Second Madam Ji doesn't like his arrogance and wants to have someone arrest him and punish him."
When Chu Yanqiu heard this, he immediately leaned against the window and asked, "What? When did this happen? Why did he come to Duke Ji's mansion for no reason? Who brought him here? My mother?"
Chi He then told Shen Wen about his visit to the Duke's Mansion for the banquet, and naturally also about Shen Wen's current situation. Chi He said, "In addition, I think there is something wrong with the servants and errand boys in the mansion today. In order to catch a powerless Seventeenth Young Master, the entire mansion has mobilized all its forces. Two or three hundred people seem to have united as one person, and there are ambushes everywhere. I know that the master does not want Seventeenth Young Master Shen to be in danger. I once took a few people with me to try to find him and send him out of the mansion safely, but we were discovered and blocked everywhere. Until now, we have not been able to find any trace of him, let alone any accurate news about him, and we don't know if he has been caught."
Chu Yanqiu became even more anxious. He clapped his hands on the window frame and touched it with his head, and remained silent for a long time.
In the small garden at the other end.
Aunt Yinhua had already returned from the small Buddhist hall and was reporting to Second Madam Ji about the conversation between the small Buddhist hall and Old Madam Ji.
Aunt Yinhua said, "I didn't expect that after all these years, she is still the same, with spies everywhere, not only are they very responsive but also report every detail."
Second Madam Ji said coldly with disdain: "So what? She is old after all. How many years can she live in this world? You haven't been to her bedroom yet. It smells like bitter medicine soup. Do you think you can hide it from anyone?"
Aunt Yinhua then suddenly realized.
Putting this aside, Aunt Yinhua said, "Young Master has been locked up in the woodshed for a long time. He must have not touched the pillow all night."
Second Madam Ji got angry when she thought of her son and said, "He asked for it. Don't feel sorry for him for me. I have to get rid of Shen Wen. Tell his servants not to let Chi He's personal servants leak the news to him. Why can't you tell the priorities? We must kill Shen Wen first, and then come back to deal with your foolish Second Young Master."
Aunt Yinhua was scolded so harshly that she could only lower her head with red ears and say yes.
Aunt Yinhua was even more resentful of Shen Wen. She said, "My master just received a report that all our people in the mansion went to the Buddhist temple to capture that man, but he escaped again. I never thought that he had lived in this mansion for so many years in humiliation. It turned out that he was just pretending. He is a powerful character. How about I take action myself? I will definitely kill him this time."
Second Madam Ji was extremely calm, as if she had a plan in mind. She said, "Don't worry, I have my own plan."
As the two of them were talking, they didn't notice that the black energy emanating from their bodies had become a little thicker.
Chu Yanqiu, who had already guessed that his mother wanted to kill Shen Wen, lay on the window frame for a long time without moving. The awe he had for his mother made him restrained.
"How long are you going to lie there?"
At this moment, a voice came out from behind him and asked him.
When Chu Yanqiu heard the familiar voice, he turned around in a hurry.
"Master, who is speaking?"
Chihe outside the window also heard the voice and asked quickly.
Chu Yanqiu had recovered as usual. He said, "No one. I know what you said. You can go back first. I think I will be able to release him soon. Don't worry."
Chihe followed his instructions and left immediately.
Chu Yanqiu turned around and looked at Shen Wen, who was sitting in the firewood pile and looking at him with bright eyes.
Chu Yanqiu asked: "How did you get in?"
Shen Wen waved her hand and said, "Let's talk about this later. Let's talk about how to break the current situation first."
Chu Yanqiu asked: "What situation? Are you saying that my mother doesn't agree with us..."
Shen Wen said, "Your mother! Your mother has been controlled by someone, and now she is surrounded by evil spirits. You and I are both mortals, and we don't know how to help her get rid of the evil spirit."
Chu Yanqiu was completely confused after hearing this.
Shen Wen told Chu Yanqiu what he had seen, and even told him about the strange connection between Qingcheng and him.
At last, Shen Wen spread his hands and said, "I find my story hard to believe. You...you decide for yourself."
Chu Yanqiu was silent for a while.
He said, "What should we do now? Mother must be in danger."
Seeing Chu Yanqiu so worried about his mother, Shen Wen said, "Please! Now your mother is determined to kill me. I think the person behind the scenes is trying to kill me. How about this, you help me escape, and then ask a powerful immortal master to treat your mother."
Chu Yanqiu's mind was in a mess. He touched his temple and said, "Let me think about it."
Shen Wen said: "It's too late. Those people will soon find out that I'm here with you. You should make a decision quickly."
Shen Wen looked at the wisps of black air floating outside, his face showing anxiety.
Chu Yanqiu grabbed Shen Wen's hand and said, "Come on! I'll take you out. They won't dare to kill you while I'm here."
Chu Yanqiu kicked open the door of the woodshed and walked out with Shen Wen in a swagger.
As soon as they left the southwest kitchen yard, they ran into their mother and servants.
Second Madam Ji did not expect that her son would brazenly protect Shen Wen. Second Madam Ji asked angrily, "What do you want to do? Are you going to elope with him? Are you going to abandon me, your mother, for the sake of your destined wife?"
Chu Yanqiu panicked when he was questioned like this. It seemed that Second Madam Ji was really angry.
Chu Yanqiu quickly let go of Shen Wen's hand.
Yinhua immediately ordered someone to capture Shen Wen who was behind him.
This gorgeous operation confused Shen Wen.
"This? Are you surrendering now?"
Shen Wen questioned Chu Yanqiu with a livid face, "Chu Yanqiu, are you really going to give up my life like this? Have you forgotten what you just said?"
Chu Yanqiu looked in pain. He knelt down and begged his mother, "Mother, please let him go. I will not mention marrying her as my principal wife."
Grandma Ji looked at her son kneeling on the ground quietly for a long while before she asked, "Are you serious? You are not just lying to me?"
Chu Yanqiu seemed to be frozen in place by a spell. He looked stupid and almost buried his head in his body, remaining silent.
Second Madam Ji tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand, and all the emotions in her body were about to burst into flames.
At this time, a maid came over with her people. When she saw that it was Shen Wen, she said happily, "Second Madam Ji must have a way. Only by taking action personally can we catch this evil man."
Aunt Yinhua didn't care when she saw that it was Old Lady Ji's personal nanny. But when she said "do it personally", it was as if her heart was stabbed. She gave her a cold look and said, "What are you doing here? This is the Second House's own business. My master will handle it. Go back and tell Old Lady Ji that you don't need to help with the rest."
That woman was the best among the servants in the mansion, and few in the Ji mansion dared to show her displeasure. However, she had also experienced Aunt Yinhua's power in the past, so she said, "Oh, you caught someone and then immediately went back to destroy the bridge? But my old lady also ordered that you deal with Shen Wen when you catch him. However, the old lady has one thing for me to tell Second Madam, that it was all because of that evil woman Aunt Shen who seduced Second Young Master and made him confused. You are not allowed to be harsh to him. You locked up a dignified master in the woodshed. How can this be spread out? The old lady also said that the noble families have their own rules and etiquette, and Second Madam Ji should be considerate in everything."
Second Madam Ji had been suppressing her anger to the extreme, and when she heard a servant taking advantage of his power to humiliate her, she really lost control of herself. She kicked the old woman to the ground, pointed at her and started to curse.
Unexpectedly, the old woman was so frail that she died suddenly, leaving Madam Ji with a lot of insults to vent.
Madam Ji was so angry that she took several deep breaths before she calmed down. She spat at the dead old woman unwillingly.
