Lord Quan teases Houmen's poisonous wife

Chapter 144 Being Followed (Part [-])
It was not an easy matter for Yun Chuwei to leave, because she could convince her own mother-in-law, but she might not be able to convince her mother and grandparents.

After all, she had to go to her grandfather, Fan Qi, for a heart pulse checkup every five days. What she carried in her stomach was not only Su Jiuye's first child, but also the first grandson of the Fan family. First great-grandson.

It can be said that this child has gathered thousands of favors on his mother before he even showed his bosom.

There was a slight headache, and a bunch of people became nervous.

Therefore, Yun Chuwei was very depressed.

Lying is not appropriate.

make excuse?In the end, she still couldn't hide it, after much deliberation, she decided to confess and be lenient.

So, I went to Dongyang Hou Mansion first.

It happened that my aunt, the Second Mrs. Lu, was also there, and the two sisters were drinking tea, eating snacks and chatting in the garden.

"Auntie, why are you free today?" Yun Chu greeted with a smile.

The Second Mrs. Lu pursed her lips and smiled, "Of course I know our little girl is coming over today, so I came here early to wait for you."

Yun Chu chuckled slightly, "I can't compare to my niece with my aunt's mouth."

Seeing Yun Chuwei, Fan's mood improved a lot, "Wei girl, why are you here?"

Yun Chu glanced around, but didn't see Huang Miaoyu, and asked by the way, "Where's my sister-in-law?"

"The little Buddha Hall went with the old lady." Fan said.

Yun Chu slightly showed surprise on his face, "Accompany the old lady?"

Fan nodded, "Yes, since you dealt with those talkative maids last time, Miao Yu's mood has obviously improved. In the past few days, on a whim, she said that she wanted to go to the Little Buddha Hall to accompany the old lady to knock the wooden fish. After recovering my emotions, I didn't dare to stop her, so I let her go."

Yun Chu understood slightly, "This is also good, so as not to let my mother follow behind and worry about it all day like that time."

Originally, it was tiring enough for her not to be able to see, but if she needed someone to take care of her mood at any time, wouldn't she really be the ancestor on the altar?
Thinking of this, Yun Chuwei asked: "Mother, hasn't brother written in this period of time?"

Fan thought for a while, "It seems that I haven't received a letter for a while. In the past, there would be a letter at most half a month. I still thought that even if he can't come back this time on Qixi Festival, at least he should send more letters. Two letters, never thought there was no news."

Yun Chu said slightly: "Perhaps, the northern border is busy with military affairs. After a few days, he will definitely send a letter back."

Fan nodded, "Since Miaoyu's incident happened, Brother Yao has matured a lot, and he has his own considerations and measures in doing things. I believe he will not interrupt the letter for no reason."

The Second Mrs. Lu looked at Yun Chuwei. She hadn't shown her pregnancy yet, and she still looked very thin overall.

"What is the little girl doing here?" Second Mrs. Lu asked with a smile.

Pursing his lower lip, Yun Chuwei said slowly, "Mother, I might...go to the southern province for a while."

When Fan heard this, her face turned pale with shock, "Nanxing? Wei girl, what are you doing so far away?"

Although the Second Mrs. Lu is a relative of the family, Yun Chuwei doesn't know her well, so he dare not speak too much, "I want to go to the market in the southern province for a field trip, so that I can open my own shop there in the future .”

"But you're pregnant." Fan's eyebrows frowned, "Wei Wei, you can't compare to being a girl now, money, it doesn't matter if you earn more or less, your focus now should be on this child, After all, it is the first heir of the Duke's Mansion. Whether it is a man or a woman, the importance lies there. Although I am your mother, in this matter, the decision-making power rests with your husband's family. Come and tell me Going to such a far place, whether it is out of concern for you or out of an explanation to your natal family, I will not let you go."

"I know what mother said." Yun Chuwei said calmly, "I have successfully persuaded the mother-in-law."

Fan's eyes widened in disbelief.

"My mother-in-law agrees to my going." She smiled and looked at the stunned Fan and Mrs. Lu in front of her.

"How come..." Fan's brows frowned even deeper, "Mrs. Tai should pay more attention to the young grandson, why did she agree to go so far away so easily?"

"Mother." Yun Chu took two steps forward, smiled and took Fan's arm, "Actually, I came back just to let you know, if someone from the Su residence came to inquire, you should help hide it no matter what. In the past, I couldn't reveal my whereabouts, otherwise, with Mrs. Su's temper, I'm afraid she would tear me alive."

Mrs. Lu said, "Girl Wei, I heard that Brother Yuan is going to the southern province to discuss business in the near future. Why don't you go with him, he is surrounded by trustworthy people, you go with him, we As an elder, you don’t have to worry about it.”

Fan hurriedly agreed, "Your aunt is right, even if you want to go, you have to have a safe person by your side. Although Young Master Lu has a handicap, there are many capable people around him who can guarantee your safety to the greatest extent."

Yun Chuwei knew in his heart that it was not easy for Fan and Mrs. Lu to make such a concession. If he didn't agree to them at this time, they would regret it later.

"Okay." Yun Chuwei nodded without much thought, "I'll listen to my mother and aunt. If you tell me to go with Young Master Lu, then I'll go with him."

Fan's worried brows finally showed a little smile, "That's great."

Yun Chuwei sat down, chatted with the two elders about other matters, took some snacks, and saw that the time was almost up before getting up to say goodbye.

The next day, a post was sent to invite Lu Xiuyuan to come out.

Probably because they were busy, the Lu residence didn't respond.

Yun Chuwei was not in a hurry, so he went to Qingxinzhai to find Jiao Yan, and explained what happened in the next month or two.

On the third day, Yun Chuwei met Lu Xiuyuan, and the two were still sitting opposite each other in the private room of the teahouse last time.

"Master Lu, my aunt must have told you about my going to the southern province, right?"

Lu Xiuyuan took a sip of his tea and gave a faint "hmm".

"I came to you because I wanted to discuss with you. Can I just verbally agree to go with you?" Yun Chu curled his fingers slightly, knowing very well that this condition might put him in a difficult position—Fan Shi and Lu Er The wife knew that she was following Lu Xiuyuan, if she left alone, if something happened, no matter who it was, it would be Lu Xiuyuan who would be the first to blame.

She was biting her lips and wondering if he would agree, when his soft and gentle voice came from her ear, "It's okay, if you want to go alone, I can secretly arrange a ship for you, as for the guards, you probably don't like me There are people around, so you should bring more guards from the Duke's Mansion, don't dress too formally, let them dress up in disguise, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."

Refreshing people!

Yun Chuwei praised him in his heart, "Thank you."

"Between you and me, just say thank you and we'll see each other." Lu Xiuyuan smiled, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and the fine sunlight fell on his handsome profile, which was as warm as jade.

"If you need anything in the future, you can come to me at any time."

Yun Chuwei smiled embarrassingly, "We are a cooperative relationship, and there will be more places to trouble you in the future!"

Lu Xiuyuan stared at her for a moment, but smiled and said nothing.

-

After negotiating with Lu Xiuyuan, Yun Chuwei quickly set a departure date.

Nan Province is now in the rainy season, and the temperature difference between day and night is also large. Mrs. Jingyao was worried that she would be cold, so she added two warm cloaks and a small jacket to her outfit.

The night before departure, Yun Chuwei strung up the thousand paper cranes folded on the night of Qixi Festival with gold thread and hung them in the room with great interest.

Meizi raised her small face to look, a little pleasantly surprised, "Putting it out alone, I don't think there's anything unusual about this thing, but the girl in such a string, I think it's pretty pretty."

Yun Chu glanced at her slightly, "A thousand paper cranes have a wish, and the strings on it are all my wishes, can't it look good?"

"Ah?" Meizi's eyes widened in surprise, "A thousand paper cranes and one wish, how much does that girl have to make, so much, can it come true?"

Yun Chu raised his eyes slightly, looking at the thousand paper cranes swaying by the wind, a longing smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

In fact, after so much, she only had one wish: to meet Master Jiu and tell him that she was pregnant with his flesh and blood.

Xiao Ji was not allowed to send a letter to the southern border, just to wait for himself to say it himself.

She is looking forward to what kind of reaction he will have if he finds out that he is pregnant.

Shock?joy?incredible?

Just thinking about it makes my heart beat.

Mrs. Jingyao checked Yun Chuwei's belongings four or five times, and came to look for her only after making sure that there was nothing missing.

"Mom, please sit down."

Yun Chuwei personally poured tea for her.

Mrs. Jingyao took a look at the bunch of thousand paper cranes in her room, and couldn't help wondering, "What is this? It's small and unique, and quite cute."

Yun Chuwei said: "This is a gadget for me to pass the time when I have nothing to do. If Mother likes it, I can take a few strings to hang in your room."

Mrs. Jingyao laughed, "I'm old, how can I hang these little things that girls like in the room? I just think it's special, so I just asked casually. Oh, by the way, Wei girl, are you going to meet Lu Lu tomorrow?" The young master at home went together, right?"

"Yeah." Yun Chu nodded slightly. She negotiated privately with Lu Xiuyuan and didn't want others to know about it.

All in all, she wants to let everyone know that she is safe and reassure them, otherwise she will not be able to walk safely.

"With him here, mother will be relieved." Mrs. Jingyao said.

Yun Chuwei saw that she looked normal when she talked about Lu Xiuyuan, so she couldn't help asking, "Mother, don't you hate Lu Xiuyuan?"

"Hate him?" Mrs. Jing Yao seemed very surprised that Yun Chuwei would ask such a question, "Why do you hate him?"

"After all, he is Lu Chuan's nephew." Yun Chu said slightly.

Mrs. Jingyao laughed lightly, "Mother just looks old, but her mind is still clear, so what if Lu Xiuyuan is Lu Chuan's nephew, he himself did nothing wrong, I have no reason to blame others, right? What's more, this kid is so good, in my eyes, he is amazing."

Yun Chuwei was a little surprised, "It turns out that Lu Xiuyuan is so good in Mother's heart."

"Isn't he capable of taking over his father's business at a young age?" Mrs. Jingyao boasted without hesitation, "However, compared to Lao Jiu, he is a bit behind."

Yun Chu couldn't help laughing slightly, "Master Jiu is a minister of the military regime, and Lu Xiuyuan is a shrewd businessman. These two have their own merits, and there is no comparison at all."

Madam Jingyao nodded in agreement.

"Wei girl, when are you leaving tomorrow?" Mrs. Jingyao suddenly changed the subject as if she suddenly remembered the purpose of coming here.

"About ten hours."

"Who are you going to take, have you chosen?"

"Well, I've chosen it." Although Lu Xiuyuan told her to bring a few more people, Yun Chuwei felt that bringing more people would attract more attention, so he only brought four people, Xiao Ji and Mei Zi who are very skilled, careful The caring Bai Tan and Aunt Han, the steward of Yangui Pavilion.

"I won't say anything extra." Mrs. Jingyao ordered before leaving, "You must be safe and sound. Whether it is you or the child in your stomach, it is fate for Lao Jiu." Indispensable part."

Hearing this sentence, Yun Chuwei was filled with courage in an instant, and nodded solemnly, "Thank you mother, I understand."

After getting up early the next day and having breakfast, Yun Chuwei casually changed into ordinary clothes, and took the four people who had also disguised themselves in a carriage to the pier.

Lu Xiuyuan said that he is also leaving today, but he will be an hour behind her, so he will not appear at the pier.

When Yun Chuwei and the others came, they were warmly received and led directly to the big boat moored in the west.

Seeing no one else following up, Yun Chuwei asked the steward, "Old man, are we the only ones on this boat?"

The old man had a kind face and kind eyes, and he smiled cheerfully after hearing this, "Ma'am, this boat belongs to the Lu family, not an official ship. The young master ordered that only Madam and your attendants will be accepted."

Yun Chuwei stood on the deck and looked down. Many people on the pier were looking in this direction. They were waiting for the passenger ship. When they saw Yun Chuwei and the others, three or four of them were sitting on such a big boat. A look of envy comes.

The Lu family is really rich.

Yun Chu clicked his tongue inwardly, the material of this boat was very valuable at first glance, and it was a private boat, so she was just allowed to take it to Nan Province.She thought that when Lu Xiuyuan said that he would arrange for her, he planned to arrange her to go to the first class cabin of the passenger ship!

After entering the cabin, Yun Chuwei realized that he and his mother-in-law were all worrying for nothing.

She had planned to bring a lot of dry food on time, but when she saw the spacious kitchen and bathroom on the first floor, she was taken aback for a moment.

The steward introduced gently: "The first floor is the kitchen, and there is a dedicated cook. Every time our ship arrives at a pier, someone will bring up fresh ingredients. If Madam feels tired and wants to take a bath to relieve fatigue, there is a bathroom at the end. The second floor is The room dedicated to rest has already been tidied up for a few of you. On the third floor there are chess room, study room, flower room and viewing room. If Madam feels bored in the room, you can sit up there. Take a panoramic view of the scenery on both sides of the canal, I hope you will like it."

While a few people were talking, they had already arrived at the room on the second floor. Yun Chu opened the door slightly, and immediately felt low-key luxury everywhere. The room layout was not gorgeous, it was the simple and elegant style she liked, but the materials were exquisite and the materials were special , all pursue high-quality goods.

Apart from this room, the other rooms are the same, Mei Zi and Bai Tan pushed open their respective doors to have a look, they dare not even step in, for fear of tarnishing the sanctity of the room.

Yun Chu gasped slightly, this is simply an ancient version of a luxury yacht!

"What does this ship usually do?" she asked.

The steward replied: "This boat is not for commercial use, it is for the young master's exclusive use. He prefers authentic southern dishes. Sometimes he wants to eat, so he will take the boat today and come back tomorrow. Occasionally, he will go out to enjoy the scenery."

It really is the high-end life of the rich.

Yun Chu blushed a little, the emperor didn't enjoy running from the north to the south just to have a meal, right?

After helping a few people to settle the room, the steward said respectfully: "Madam, if you need anything, you can come to the first floor to find the villain at any time, and the villain is always waiting for you."

Yun Chu smiled politely, "Thank you, old man."

"Madam, please don't say that." The steward was a little flattered, "It is a great honor for a villain to serve Madam."

Before noon, Meizi and Bai Tan went to the kitchen to fetch the food prepared by the cook and put them on the table in front of Yun Chuwei one by one. Smelling the aroma, Yun Chuwei poked his head to take a look.

Crystal meat, steamed cured meat, West Lake vinegar fish, crystal shrimp, pickled vegetables and winter bamboo shoots, crockpot simmering soup...

Its color, its fragrance and its taste are all alluring.

Lu Xiuyuan, the cook, seems to be at the top of the pyramid!
"Which one do you want to eat first?" Mei Zi smiled and knelt beside Yun Chuwei, planning to serve her vegetables.

"West lake vinegar fish!" Yun Chu said slightly.

That is her favorite dish.

"Okay." Meizi carefully removed the fish bones, and put the fat fish meat into Yun Chuwei's small bowl.

After Yun Chuwei finished eating slowly, she said, "Young Master Lu's boat is really special."

Yun Chu smiled, "What kind of special method?"

Mei Zi laughed silly and said, "This servant is so big, I have never been on such a luxurious boat before!"

Yun Chu took a slight glance at the surrounding layout, it was indeed luxurious, luxurious to the point of fantasy. "What is this? After I earn a lot of money from your girl, I will ask Lord Jiu to hire someone to help me build a bigger and more luxurious one. I will take you guys out for a walk every now and then. We can also do it today." Go south for dinner and come back tomorrow."

Meizi's eyes sparkled, "Miss, do you really have this plan?"

"Of course." Yun Chu raised his eyebrows slightly, "However, the most important thing right now is to see Master Jiu first."

-

After lunch, Yun Chuwei went up to the third floor. First, she passed the greenhouse. She pushed the door open and was shocked once again.

Presumably there is a special person to manage it, and the flowers and trees inside are arranged extremely carefully. On the ground and on the flower stand, vines are involved, pink and pink are intertwined, and the ups and downs are regular, and they will not take away the brilliance of each other.

These flowers of Lu Xiuyuan are not as precious as those in He Lianjin's flower room, but the overall layout is unique, just like him, it is mainly elegant and elegant, just like a fresh picture scroll, which makes people feel very comfortable.

After leaving the flower room, walk along the long corridor for a while, and open the second door. There is a study room with tall bookshelves, on which are listed ancient and modern classics and classics. On the desk next to the window, there is a plum vase, plum There are three or two camellias in the bottle.

Yun Chuwei walked over, gently opened the window, and the outside air carried the fragrance of grasses from both sides of the river gently blowing past, very refreshing.

This floor is indeed the best place to view the scenery.

She picked up a book at random, sat down by the window, and stood up only when Meizi came up at dusk.

"Is the scenery on the third floor nice?" Meizi asked.

"Very unique." Yun Chu slightly recalled the afternoon just now.

The steward bowed down and waited below. When he saw Yun Chu come down slightly, he smiled slightly, "Madam, if you need anything, please send the villain at any time."

Yun Chu glanced at him slightly, "When will we arrive?"

"Evening the day after tomorrow." The steward said.

"So fast?"

It will take several days for Su Yan to return to the southern border!

"Because my wife is pregnant, the young master specially ordered to slow down, otherwise we won't take that long. The canal runs through the north and south, and it's not too tortuous. Compared with going by land, it's really close."

At nightfall, the boat docked, and the cook and the steward went ashore to bring up the fresh ingredients that Lu Xiuyuan had ordered to prepare earlier.

Yun Chuwei sat on the small couch, the window was open, and he could see the twinkling stars in the sky when he looked up.

The summer night wind is cool and refreshing, the sound of frogs on both sides of the river, the noise of pedestrians at the ferry, and the shouts of vendors are mixed together, and the town is very lively.

Looking down, Yun Chuwei saw a tall and straight white figure standing on Qingshi Street where the ferry came ashore.

The sky was too dark, Yun Chuwei couldn't see his face clearly, but her strong intuition told her that he must be looking at her.

Who is that person?
Before he could think about it, there was a hasty knock on the door outside.

"Please come in."

Yun Chuwei was too lazy to get up and open the door.

The door was opened, and the person who came in was the steward. His face was a little more serious than during the day, "If madam wants to take a bath, please finish it within half an hour as soon as possible. After half an hour, the whole ship will be ready An emergency alert has begun."

Yun Chu was slightly puzzled, "Why?"

The steward hesitated and said: "The young master just sent a letter from Feige to the villain, saying that there is a group of people who have been following us. Their identities are unknown at present, but their target is likely to be you, Madam, so for your safety, the villain must not Not preparing in advance."

Hearing these words, Yun Chuwei suddenly remembered the figure he saw when he docked at the ferry.

A bad premonition arose spontaneously, her complexion changed, and she waved her hand, "I see, you step back!"

After the steward left, Mei Zi came in after him, while Xiao Ji stood guard outside the door.

"Girl." Meizi asked her, "Let's go take a bath!"

"I won't take a bath tonight." Yun Chu's eyes were fixed on the light of the dancing candlestick, his expression flickering.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm afraid there will be danger." Yun Chuwei always believed in his intuition.

Ever since she saw that person at the ferry, her heart was in a state of ups and downs. She thought it was her own wild imagination, but it turned out that it was really a warning of danger.

"How far is Young Master Lu from us?" Yun Chu asked slightly after calling the steward again.

Originally, she didn't want to get too entangled with Lu Xiuyuan, but now, in order to protect the baby in her stomach, she had to give up some decisions.

Lu Xiuyuan's boat was full of skilled guards, if they were there to protect her, together with Xiao Ji and Mei Zi, nothing would happen.

"Master, that boat is speeding up to catch up with us." The steward said.

"Then...can we slow down a bit?"

"No." The manager directly vetoed it: "We don't know what the group behind is going to do. If we let them catch up, the villain will not be able to guarantee the safety of the lady."

Therefore, the current ship must maintain the current speed, and the speed of Lu Xiuyuan's ship must exceed that of Yun Chuwei and the others, so that the two ships can be closer to each other, so as to deal with the enemy together.

"Ma'am." Xiao Ji walked in and looked at her solemnly, "You don't have to worry, the subordinates will do their best to protect your safety."

Yun Chu rubbed his hands slightly, not knowing whether to rejoice or lament his bad luck.

If she had insisted on going by herself and didn't want Lu Xiuyuan to arrange a boat for her, would she have fallen into the enemy's hands long ago?
Since that group is targeting her, it must be the same sooner or later.

Now that the enemy is in the dark and we are in the clear, she can do nothing but minimize the chance of her being killed. At least, she cannot step out of this room right now.

-

Wan Tong pushed Lu Xiuyuan's wheelchair onto the deck. Lu Xiuyuan was holding a western telescope in his hand, and his eyes were fixed on the ship that was chasing Yun Chuwei and the others.

With a cold and handsome face, Lu Xiuyuan asked in a deep voice, "Have the sailors you sent out come back yet?"

Wan Tong said: "We are too far away from them. The sailors may not be able to catch up after a while."

Lu Xiuyuan pursed his lips tightly, who was on that boat?

"Pass the order and continue to speed up. If she loses a single hair, none of you will be able to go back alive!"

It was the first time seeing the young master so angry, Wan Tong broke out in a cold sweat, and replied repeatedly, "Yes."

　Guess who is following Wei Wei? ^_^
