The heavens set sail from the courtyard

When Wang Gang returned to the courtyard where he lived, two beautiful and graceful maids came to greet him immediately.

"Your servant Chunluo (Qiuhua) greets the Second Young Master."

Wang Gang looked at the two maids in front of him and said, "Are you the people sent by my sister-in-law? Get up!"

The two maids slowly stood up, and Wang Gang continued, "From now on, there won't be so many rules here, and you don't have to kneel down at every turn."

Chunluo Qiuhua said in panic: "I don't know how I have angered the Second Young Master."

Wang Gang said gently: "No, you are fine. This is my personality. You will understand after a while."

Chunluo and Qiuhua looked at each other, then raised their heads slightly and glanced at Wang Gang.

Wang Gang deliberately made a face and said with a smile: "If you want to see it, just look openly. Why do you have to be so sneaky?"

Chunluo and Qiuhua were so scared that they lowered their heads. Only later did they realize that Wang Gang was just expressing his goodwill.

Wang Gang walked into the house and found that the surrounding furnishings were exactly the same as before he left. It was kept very clean and it was obvious that it was cleaned regularly.

"Chunluo, go prepare the bath water. I need to take a shower and change clothes later." Wang Gang sat down at the desk and said.

Chunluo took the order and left. Qiuhua asked, "Second Master, I will make you some tea."

Wang Gang waved his hand and said, "No need. Has Aunt Rong brought my luggage?"

Qiuhua said, "It has been put back. I will take it to the study."

Wang Gang said with satisfaction: "Come with me to the study."

Qiuhua's heart tightened and she became cautious.

After the two of them arrived at the study, Wang Gang closed the door and said, "I have something to ask you, and you must tell me everything you know."

Qiuhua said nervously, "I dare not hide it from the Second Young Master."

Wang Gang asked, "Did the two maids in my courtyard get married?"

Qiuhua said nervously: "I have just been in the mansion for less than two months, I don't know."

Wang Gang asked: "If you don't know, why are you so nervous?"

Qiuhua immediately knelt down, lowered her head and shouted: "Second Master, please forgive me!"

Wang Gang's face darkened, and he realized something was wrong. He personally helped Qiu Hua up and asked, "What happened to them?"

Qiuhua was almost crying because of Wang Gang's pressure, but she bit her lips tightly and refused to say anything.

Wang Gang finally had to threaten him viciously: "You don't want to follow in their footsteps, do you?"

Qiuhua was really scared at this time, her legs were weak and she couldn't even stand steadily.

"Second Young Master, please spare my life. Second Young Master, please spare my life."

Wang Gang snorted coldly: "You dare to hide anything from me? This courtyard cannot tolerate you."

Qiuhua was horrified and begged, "Second Master, please be kind and don't sell me to a brothel."

Wang Gang said with a straight face: "Who sold me, my former maid, to a brothel?"

Qiuhua hesitated and didn't dare to answer.

Wang Gang let go of his hand, sat back at the desk with a sullen face, and said coldly: "You can go back to your sister-in-law tomorrow!"

Qiuhua was so frightened when she heard this that she fell to her knees and cried, "Second Master, please spare me! If I am driven back, the eldest master will definitely sell me out."

Wang Gang narrowed his eyes and said, "So, it was Big Brother who sold my maid?"

Qiu Hua's face was all furious, and finally she gritted her teeth and said, "I dare not hide it from the Second Young Master. Your two former maids, Sister Xiao Rui and Sister Hua Shu, were harmed by the First Young Master not long after you left. They were accused of seducing the Young Master and sold to a brothel."

Wang Gang had guessed something already and was not too surprised. He let Qiuhua stand up and answer first.

"Brother is venting his anger on my maid." Wang Gang sighed and said to Qiuhua: "Do you know which brothel Xiaorui and Huashu were sold to?"

Wang Gang's predecessor was Wang Gang. He was taken care of by two maids since he was a child. Huashu was a little older, and Xiaorui was about the same age as Wang Gang, so they grew up together.

Three years ago, Wang Gang was sent out of Beijing without taking anyone with him, so Xiao Rui and Hua Shu stayed at home. Wang Yi was jealous of Wang Gang's success in getting a jinshi degree and having a promising future, but under Wang Kang's watchful eyes, Wang Yi dared not act recklessly, but after Wang Gang left, he took out his anger on his close servants.

In the end, Xiaorui and Huashu were implicated by Wang Gang.

"I don't know where my two sisters were sold to. I just heard about it from the servants in the mansion talking about it." Qiuhua said honestly.

Wang Gang asked Qiuhua: "Didn't mother make the decision for Xiaorui and the others?"

Qiuhua lowered her head and said, "The old lady has been a vegetarian for the past three years, and has left all the major and minor matters of the mansion to the first lady."

Wang Gang said: "It seems that if we want to find them, we have to go to the eldest sister-in-law."

Qiuhua gritted her teeth, a trace of confusion flashed across her face.

Wang Gang asked: "What do you want to ask?"

Qiuhua bravely said: "Second Master wants to save my two sisters?"

Wang Gang nodded and said, "Yes, they are ultimately implicated by me, and it is also my fault that I did not ask my mother to look after them when I left."

Qiuhua's eyes changed when she looked at Wang Gang.

At this time, Chunluo came back and reported: "Second Master, the bath water is ready."

Wang Gang said: "Okay, you guys go down first!"

Qiuhua asked in surprise: "Second Master, don't you want us to help you take a bath?"

Wang Gang stood up and said, "No need, I can wash it myself, you guys go down."

Qiuhua and Chunluo replied: "Yes."

As soon as the two girls left, Wang Gang took off his coat and went to the bathroom.

In Wang Yi's yard, Han brought him a bowl of rock sugar and snow pear syrup.

"Sir, the sugar water has cooled down. Please drink it as soon as possible!"

Wang Yi has been in a bad mood since he came back from dinner.

In other words, he has been in a bad mood since he learned that Wang Gang was transferred back to Bian Jing.

"Send a bowl to mother as well." Wang Yi said with a cold face.

"Someone has been sent. My uncle will also have a bowl." Han whispered.

Wang Yi snorted coldly when he heard this: "Do you still have money?"

Han said in embarrassment: "Sir, you have used up all the allowance for this month again."

Wang Yi said impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense. Aren't you in charge of the accounts at the mansion now? Just give me some money."

Han said aggrievedly: "Sir, I dare not touch the public account of the mansion. Mother will check the account at the end of the month. The money I gave you before was all my dowry."

Wang Yi was furious and said angrily: "Are you settling accounts with me?"

Han took two steps back in fear and said, "No, it's just that I don't have much dowry left. It's not a good idea to continue squandering it like this."

Wang Yi said unhappily: "I've been lucky lately, the money will be back soon, don't worry."

Han was hesitant to speak, but finally gave Wang Yi ten strings of cash.

Wang Yi took the money and went out to drink and have fun, not caring about Han's feelings at all.

Han looked at the bowl of rock sugar and snow pear syrup that had not been touched, and shed tears of grievance.

On the other side, when Wang Gang came out of the shower, Aunt Rong brought him an invitation.

"Second Master, someone outside the mansion has delivered an invitation and a carriage has arrived, saying that they are inviting you to a banquet."

"I just arrived in Bianjing today, who knew I was back?" Wang Gang took the invitation with doubt, opened it and smiled! (End of this chapter)
