Chapter 165: Climbing the Wall

Fu sat up straight at once, “Granny Guo left the city?”

Sister-in-law Song nodded her head and said, “Yes, we were late in making our move.”

It was only at the end of the evening at the end of the 10th hour that the doctor had people notify Second Chief Executive Song to do away with Guo Sanfu’s family. Second Chief Song’s people went to the Guo family, and the neighbors said that the Guo family’s boy had taken his old mother out of town to relatives at the end of Shen hour.

Fu thought for a moment and then quietly confided, “Hurry up and have your father-in-law think of a way to take care of the Ma Er’s family, and make sure it’s cleaned up by this night.”

Sister-in-law Song listened, bowed and retired.

Fu waited until the beginning of the day, but did not arrive at the Duke of Cheng Guo Gong back to the main courtyard, so he went to bed and rested alone.

The clear light spread into the room through the window screen, and the objects in the room were faintly visible.

Looking at the carvings on the top of the bed, Fu exhaled a long breath.

It’s so quiet!

Ever since she married Meng Daoming, as long as he was in the house, even if he was busy, he would rush back to the main courtyard to rest before the end of the day. Although the Duke of Cheng’s residence also closes the second gate at the eleventh hour, there is an unwritten rule that as long as the Duke of Cheng is in the front yard, the second gate will be locked on time, but the gatekeeper will not leave. To wait until midnight, the Duke of State went back to the inner courtyard before going to rest.

The Duke of State didn’t come back this late, he must have talked with Meng Zhimo for too long, or he was so angry with Meng Zhimo that he rested in the outer courtyard.

It’s nice to have some peace and quiet once in a while.

Another man’s face appeared in front of her eyes, clean and handsome, his young face overflowing with smiles, smiles as clean as the clear sky after a rain ……

How many years had it been since she had thought of him? Nowadays, his face is also crawling with wrinkles, perhaps even older than Meng Daoming.

If he hadn’t fallen in love when he was young, and hadn’t been caught in the act, as long as he killed or crippled Meng Zhimo, and Zhiyu successfully assumed the title, he would have been able to rest easy. But she is subject to others, I do not know when is the end. Compared to Meng Ruimo, she would prefer him or those people to die …….

Fu’s eyes had just flashed a hint of sternness when familiar footsteps came from the courtyard.

The Duke of State was still back.

Fu’s eyes immediately filled with tenderness. In this world, the best person for her is this man.

She sat up, and the maid on night duty in the side room had already run in and said, “Madam, the Duke of State is back.”

Fu said, “Well, you quickly go open the door.”

The maid on night duty in the ear room also got up and ran out the door, saying in unison, “Master Guo Gong.”

Wearing a Chinese dress, Fu’s already greeted him in the hall room and smiled, “Master Guo Gong is back, do you want to eat a snack? I’ll have the maid make it for you.”

Duke Cheng said, “I don’t eat, I’m full of anger. That rebellious son, I raised him for nothing.”

Fu’s busy saying, “Sleeping with anger hurts your body. I’ll press the master first, then eat something, and rest after I’m in a happy mood ……”

In Floating Life Residence, Jiang Yishi lay in bed unable to sleep.

She had already heard from Hua Hua that Fu had sent someone to kill Granny Guo late, and then sent someone to kill Granny Ma.

Dead people, and then put everything on the dead people, as long as the smart people will think more. The first big battle ended in a complete victory for them.

Thinking of Meng Zhimo who was called to the front yard by Duke Cheng, she was a little worried again. Except for Duke Cheng, Meng Zhimo could maintain his reason and restraint in dealing with anyone, including Fu, whom he hated the most. And facing that father who indirectly killed his mother, Meng Ruimo was like a child who just wanted to let him see how unhappy he was.

Suddenly, the courtyard door rang.

Xiaozhu’s voice, “Master Shizi is back.”

Jiang Yishi got up to welcome out of the side room, Shui Xiang, who was on night duty, had already opened the door and lit the lamp as Meng Ruimo walked in.

Meng Zhimo’s face had a few bruises, his hair was disheveled, and he walked with a limp.

Jiang Yishi was so distressed that tears welled up in her eyes, and gasped, “Did the Duke of State beat you? Hit you so hard.”

Meng Zhimo coldly snorted, “Hmph, if he has the guts, he’ll beat me to death. If he can’t beat me to death, don’t expect me to do what he says.”

Duke Cheng taught him a lesson for an hour, telling him to honor his elders, care for his younger siblings, not to proclaim adultery in the daytime, to be worthy of the Emperor’s love, to return to the camp early, and so on. Meng Ruimo when he said the words are bird language, not a word, head hard to the side to see not even look at him.

Cheng Guogong said his mouth dry, also can not get a son’s reply, angry, head and face dumped Meng Ruimo a few slaps.

While hitting, he also scolded, “How did I give birth to such an unproductive thing as you. Like this life has never seen a woman, do that thing in broad daylight, but also to pass out to be lackeys say mouth ……”

Hearing him scold Jiang Yishi in, Meng Zhimo was furious and said with round eyes, “We have nothing to be embarrassed about. No matter how I am, I won’t run outside to seduce an unmarried girl while my daughter-in-law is pregnant. Shiji no matter what, will not be unmarried to seduce someone else’s man. Hmph one can’t stay away from men, one can’t stay away from women, still have the nerve to say others ……”

He held back before he didn’t say the more unpleasant words.

Duke Cheng heard that he was scolding himself and Fu, and became even more angry, grabbing the brocade stool and smashing it on Meng Ruimo’s leg. Unwilling to continue staying here, Meng Jimo got up and limped back to his outer study.

He didn’t go back to the inner courtyard right away, but told Meng Lianshan and Meng Qingshan to go squat by the inner courtyard wall. He knew that Duke Cheng was too embarrassed to return to the inner courtyard immediately because of his words. However, according to Duke Cheng’s habit for so many years, he really can’t stay away from Fu, and will definitely wait for himself to fall asleep and climb the wall.

At Zi Hour, Meng Lianshan came to report that the Duke of State really quietly climbed over the wall into the inner courtyard.

Meng Zhimo secretly grunted, he had caught yet another crime of the Duke of Cheng. If he dares to say how he is in the future, he will trot out the fact that he climbed the wall.

So old that the Duke of State could climb the wall, of course he could climb it as well.

Meng Zhimo also climbed the wall and entered the inner courtyard.

Jiang Yishi gave Meng Ruimo a look at his injuries and saw that it was only some superficial wounds before putting his heart down.

The next morning, Fu and Meng Yue were in the Council Hall interrogating the underlings about the rumor. They told them to pass on the rumors about Guo and Ma, that Guo had gone to a relative’s house, and that Ma had actually hanged herself.

The underlings of the Floating Life Hall were also called in for questioning. Sister Wu and several others who served their masters close by said that Great Grandmother was treating Great Master’s eyes and that they hadn’t done anything improper during the day. And several of the little maids and rough maids, including Xiaozhu, said they hadn’t been in the main house and didn’t know anything about it.

Granny Guo also said yesterday that she knew nothing and had never said anything wrong with her master, and Granny Ma hanged herself again. The final conclusion was that Ma’s mother-in-law had rumored about her master and committed suicide to avoid the crime.

Fu did not let Xiaozhu come out to identify, is thinking that things have reached this point, even if Xiaozhu came out to testify that Meng Ruimo and Jiang Yixi really daydreaming, others will not believe. It would be better to let her stay at the Floating Life Residence and do more important things.

As soon as the conclusion was reached, the old lady sent two ponies of floral satin to the Floating Life Residence to comfort Jiang Yishi, and Fu and Second Lady Meng also sent Jiang Yishi a pair of jade bracelets and a lotus flower jade hairpin.

In the next morning, Meng’s mother and son and Meng Lan and Meng Frost came to visit Jiang Yishi at the Floating Life Residence.

I’m sorry, folks. I’m sorry, but today Qingquan is taking a day off.
