MTL - Perfect Encounter-Chapter 32
"Where is that, Mr. Qian, don't need to worry. I know the priorities of the matter. This is not Mr. Qian, but my family. I can't help but complain." An Zhifu said hurriedly.
Qian Pei smiled again: "That's true, it's inevitable to have grievances in your heart. It's just that after venting your grievances, don't forget what you should do. If the eldest girl doesn't come to say hello, Mr. An has to go to her place to contact her. It’s better if you’re too distant. On my side, I’m still waiting for news from Mr. An.”
"Yes, yes." An Zhifu hurriedly said that everything was arranged. Let the second daughter An Ruoxi contact the sisterhood, no matter what, things will be done properly. After some rhetoric, Qian Pei almost slapped his chest and wrote a proof of guarantee, so Qian Pei left satisfied.
In a small two-story building, An Ruochen carefully looked around and sneaked into a room on the second floor while no one was there. The furnishings in the room are simple, only a narrow bed and a desk, and a few books are placed on the desk. An Ruochen flipped through the pages and put the book back to its original place. When she was about to open the drawer, she heard footsteps in the corridor outside the house. An Ruochen was very nervous and quickened her movements.
There are some clutter in the drawer, and a booklet is hidden under the clutter.
The footsteps stopped at the door of the house.
An Ruochen flipped through the booklet, there were many names, addresses and numbers listed in it, it was exactly what she was looking for. She stuffed the booklet into her arms and pushed open the window.
People outside began to push the door.
An Ruochen stepped on the window and climbed out. When I climbed out of the window, I saw that there were upturned eaves available on the roof. She clasped the window frame with one hand and shook out the claw rope in her sleeve with the other hand. The claw rope flew to the corner of the cornice, and the claw head circled around the corner of the cornice several times, binding it.
The people outside found that the door was locked from the inside and began to slam on the door.
An Ruochen gritted her teeth, grasped the claw rope and pulled it, swinging away from the window.
The door was knocked open at this moment, and there was nothing unusual in the room except the open windows. Someone walked towards the window.
An Ruochen was hanged at the corner of the building, grabbing the rope and trying to climb up, but before he climbed much, his arms were already weak. When someone in the house poked her head out of the window, she screamed and fell down.
With a "thump", An Ruochen fell into a big net.
She was panting heavily, barely wanting to get up.
Suddenly a person came out from the side, pulled the net and said, "Why don't you slide down?"
"General." An Ruochen reported earnestly, "I died eight times when I ran down the front." Either he fell to his death or he was ambushed. "I thought about hiding on the roof, maybe I could find a safer way out."
The man pulling the net was Long Da. He asked with a serious face at this moment: "What did I say?"
"Empty has countermeasures, nothing can be done." This is the sentence she was reprimanded the most.
"Don't do what you can't do." Long Dafeng corrected him. "With your strength, you can't climb up at all. You will only fall to your death again."
An Ruochen really wanted to say that he also tried to climb before he was sure that he really couldn't. But she didn't dare to refute, and obediently turned over from the net.
That day, after Long Da agreed that she could go on a mission, he told her a lot of reasoning, and then told her to learn this and that, practice this and that. An Ruochen excitedly agreed one by one. Just when the answer was right, Long Da suddenly said: "How about letting General Zong teach you in person?"
It's a trick to lure the enemy, An Ruochen suddenly realized, swallowing the word "good" back.
"General, I work for the general, go through fire and water, and do not hesitate to do anything. I know the importance of the matter. My life, and the life of my sister, are all ranked behind the safety of Da Xiao, and behind the peace of the people in Pingnan County. General It is difficult for me to repay the great kindness you have given me all my life. Although Xizuo may seduce me with a handsome son and promise me a lifelong future, I will not be disturbed. Therefore, the general does not need to seduce the general with Zong. Such a sacrifice General Zong, it is inappropriate for the general to lose a general."
"Sacrifice?" At that time, Long Da's expression was quite subtle, before An Ruochen had time to think about it, Long Da said: "Since the girl does not want General Zong to teach, then I will let General come personally."
"..." An Ruochen was dumbfounded, wait, what were they talking about just now?
"I've always been strict, girl, please work harder."
"..."
Anyway, from that day on, Long Da took the time to teach her every day. She was given some small weapons and tools, such as a hairpin that can be used as a dagger, a claw rope that can be climbed and suspended, a waist buckle with a drug, and so on. Teach her step by step, one move at a time. She was not strong enough, so she was asked to practice every day. She will also assess her emergency countermeasures and so on from time to time.
Today is to ask her to go to the pre-arranged building to pick up the roster. As a result, An Ruochen took one time and died one time. Once you die, you start all over again.
An Ruochen climbed down from the net and took out the roster from his arms: "General, at least you can find the roster after you find my body this time."
Long Da glanced at it: "This is fake."
An Ruochen was surprised.
Long Dao: "You tell me why it's fake."
An Ruochen flipped through it carefully, bit her lip in frustration, it was really fake. "It's too new. The ink marks are all too new, they are all the same." The roster recorded one after another. There should be old ink marks and new ones. This book is all the same, and it was copied in one go. She was too nervous and anxious as she rummaged through the house to notice this.
"So we'll find a fake roster on your body."
An Ruochen let out a breath, tired and discouraged.
In Zhaofu restaurant, Mr. Xie was sitting in a private room eating, listening to the reports from the people standing at his table while eating. He swallowed all the food in his mouth slowly, wiped his mouth, and then said: "Those girls are fine, even if General Long arrests them all and tortures them all, they won't be able to ask any questions. Except for Mrs. Xu who often chats with them and asks News, they don’t know anything. It’s just as good as before.”
The man standing at the table said yes.
Mr. Xie said again: "Long Da is very special to An Ruochen. He asked her to be in charge, transferred manpower from the army to guard her, and personally taught her. I don't know what his intentions are yet. An Ruochen will definitely When you come here to spy, you have to know it well, don't underestimate her. You must pay close attention to what she says and does, and her every move is all ordered by Long Da."
The man quickly responded. Nothing happened afterwards, the man retreated, and Mr. Xie ate alone in the private room.
Mr. Xie finished his meal, paid the bill, and went out from the main hall of Zhaofu Restaurant. The shopkeeper greeted him and asked him if he was satisfied with the meal. He smiled and said goodbye. After leaving the restaurant, I went to the tea shop opposite to pick some tea, drank tea and chatted with the owner of the tea shop, several regular customers seemed to know him, chatted and laughed together, and discussed some jade artifacts and antiques. Finally, Mr. Xie came out with the tea leaves, picked up a sedan chair, and went back to his residence. He was as comfortable and relaxed as any ordinary person in Zhonglan City.
An Ruoxi was almost very reluctant to go to An Ruochen for sex, so she made up her mind to talk to Mrs. Tan one day, and wanted to refuse the matter.
"Mother, my daughter has been thinking hard about what to say after meeting her sister these days, but she can't come up with any good countermeasures after thinking about it. Think about it, mother, my daughter was not close to her in the past. In fact, after careful consideration , she is not close to anyone in the family, she is only close to the fourth sister. When she left, she was in such a situation. In order to cancel the marriage, she broke with the family. What if I go to show my favor? She will I scolded me and kicked her out. She relieved her anger and let go of her grievances. What about the next time? I can’t say that my sister scolded me last time, so I’ll ask for another scolding. What about the next time? Could it be that I said this I still want to hear my sister scolding me? She will be suspicious if she is so humble. If she tries to get news from her, she won’t get anything out of it. Mom, I’ve thought about it. If you want to see me all the time, you must have something she cares about, such as the whereabouts of the fourth sister. Why don't we wait a little longer, and when we have news about the fourth sister, I will report to the eldest sister, and she will definitely meet me. And begged me to find her again."
Tan scolded: "You've been thinking about this for a long time. You don't know whether your fourth sister is alive or dead. Where did the news come from? The government can't find it. How else can we find it? We have to wait until Fang finds it. I just went to see my son's news, so I'm afraid I won't have to see him again in this life. This matter has to be done quickly. Master Qian came here yesterday for this matter. He asked your father if that **** has been out and about, but has he contacted our family? , and ask your father what his plan is. The meaning is clear, Mr. Qian hopes that our family can keep An Ruochen safe, and now this matter can only be handled by you. If she wants to be proud, let her be proud, if she scolds you, just listen, Pretend to be pitiful and cry for a while, then say that the house was in chaos after she left, and you have no one to complain to, so you have to look for her. After all, when you are a sister, only she can understand your difficulties. Don't be afraid of having no reason to talk, you just It is said that the marriage between our family and the Qian Mansion is disgraceful, Master Qian still intends to get married, your father is discussing with him, you are afraid that this marriage will really come to fruition, so you have to marry, ask her to help you find a way."
An Ruoxi's heart sank, did things come to this after all?
"Your elder sister ran away to resist this marriage. You say that, she will not be indifferent, and whether she will help you or not, she will also think about it in her heart. Whether it is gloating or sympathizing, she will definitely be curious. What is the end result. This way you can meet her a few more times..."
"Will Daddy really discuss marriage with Master Qian?" An Ruoxi interrupted her mother and asked.
Mrs. Tan touched her daughter's head, smiled and said: "How can we really get married? Didn't we have enough trouble before? Even if we discussed this matter, it was just for that **** to see. As you said, otherwise What excuses do you have to talk to her. There must be something to seduce her. She wants to take revenge on our family. Discuss the countermeasures. The more uneasy she wants to see your jokes, the easier it will be. It will be very easy to lure her into the bait."
"But..." An Ruoxi was still trying to refuse, but she heard Tan's eldest girl outside the house shouting: "Nurse Song! What are you doing here?!"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Tan frowned tightly, got up and went out. An Ruoxi hurriedly followed behind.
After going out, he saw Tan's eldest girl leading a younger girl, blocking An Ruochen's old nanny in a corner outside the house. Seeing Mrs. Tan, the eldest girl shouted: "Madam, I was about to send someone to report. I brought fruit for Madam. Just in time, I met this old slave who was eavesdropping under Madam's window. He was sneaking and acting like a thief." look."
The old nanny never did anything wrong, but now that she was caught straight, she was very flustered, but she still insisted: "Where did I eavesdrop, I just wanted to ask the second wife if there was any news about my eldest girl, and I happened to pass by Here, I will see you."
Tan's eldest girl has been with Tan for many years, and she has already learned how to show her master's power. She immediately shouted: "You old woman is full of nonsense, and no one in the whole house knows it. The master has repeatedly ordered that in the house, you are not allowed to inquire, discuss, and guess about the eldest girl. If you have the guts, just hide in the yard and cry, and dare to ask your wife for news? Who are you fooling? You are obviously a cat eavesdropping under the window, I can see clearly. Do this How dare you come here in our wife's yard, how brave you are!"
An Ruoxi looked at the panic-stricken old nanny, took care, and hurriedly said: "Mom, last time I saw Nanny Song sneaking around outside your courtyard, I didn't think much about it at the time, but now it seems that she should It was more than one eavesdropping. She must have heard all the things we discussed just now, and she must have known about those plans. She will definitely tell her sister. These excuses can no longer be used. I went to tell my sister that she must It's unbelievable. Daddy and Master Qian don't have to pretend to discuss marriage, otherwise it will make both sides ugly and offend Master Qian again. Let's talk about it in the long run and find a new way."
Tan stared at the old nanny, and the more she listened to her daughter's words, the more she became annoyed. How dare this old slave! Well, you An Ruochen, while putting on a prestige outside to embarrass their An family, at the same time, you dare to arrange internal thieves in the mansion. really good! If they don't teach them a lesson and come back, that **** will say that their Anjia is easy to bully!
"Come on!" Tan shouted angrily, pointing at the old nanny and scolding: "Purchase this lowly slave and beat her twenty sticks. In the future, who will dare to eavesdrop on the master's words, talk everywhere, or collude with outsiders?" She is the one who murdered the master's family!"
Two servants rushed forward and pushed the old nanny to the ground. The old nanny struggled and cursed: "You are the bitch. I am not a servant of your filthy Anfu. I only recognize my young lady and young lady as masters." , you Anfu do not have my deed of sale, I am not your slave, I feel dirty standing here with you..."
"Slap her mouth!" Tan yelled angrily.
The servant pulled the old nanny up, raised his hand and slapped the old nanny several times. The old nanny's face immediately became red and swollen, the corners of her mouth were bleeding, and the corners of her eyes were also scratched. The servant struck so hard that the old nurse felt a burning pain in her cheek, her head was buzzing, and she wanted to curse again, but she opened her mouth and slapped her again.
"Drag her down and beat her hard." Tan was furious.
An Ruoxi stared at the scene in front of her, her face turned pale with fright. Since she was a child, she has seen many scenes of beating and scolding servants, and she has slapped the girl herself, but just now she was only thinking about how to get rid of the marriage with Qian Pei and how not to get involved in the entanglement with the eldest sister, but unexpectedly made her The old woman was beaten so badly. An Ruoxi's first reaction was bad. If the incident got to An Ruochen's ears and made her think that she did it by herself, and turned to deal with herself, wouldn't she be in more trouble?
An Ruoxi stood there stiffly, watching the old nanny being dragged down and disappearing, only cursing and screaming came from afar, An Ruoxi felt very guilty. She hurriedly said to Tan Shi: "Mother, don't break Nanny Song, just teach her a lesson. She's getting old, I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it. If something happens, how can I tell my sister?"
Tan said angrily: "If you don't deal with her, some rumors will spread to An Ruochen's ears, which will set her on guard. I'm afraid you won't even have the chance to talk to her." Thinking of this, she hurriedly ordered The eldest maid said: "Go, watch this matter, take the old woman to the firewood room, and don't allow people from the big room to approach, and no one is allowed to talk to the old woman without my order. She shut her mouth. Anyone who dares to say something more, if I find out, will end up just like her."
The big girl got the order and hurried to go. Tan asked An Ruoxi to go back to her room and think about how to talk to An Ruochen. She wanted to go to An Zhifu herself, report the matter, and let An Zhifu make up her mind.
An Ruoxi didn't dare to say much, and went back to the house, feeling uneasy, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. In the past, I underestimated the eldest sister, but I didn’t expect her to have such means. Everyone thought that the only way for a daughter to climb a high branch was to rely on her beauty, and to be a wife or concubine to please her. another way. Now she swaggered and slapped An Jia in the face. Since she is so powerful, if she knew that the old nanny was beaten and scolded by them today, would she hate her again? And it happened that she was going to be sent to learn a lesson, insulted by her eldest sister, reprimanded by her parents for not doing well when she came back, and finally sent to Qian Pei for a favor.
The more An Ruoxi thought about it, the colder her heart became. No, she can't do this, she is not reconciled. Obviously among the daughters of An's family, she is the most powerful and favored one. She always thinks that she will be the most beautiful in the future, and can compare with other sisters. They envy her, fawn on her, and curry favor with her. But why was she the one who suffered the most in the end? She is not reconciled, she cannot accept such an arrangement.
At dinner, An Zhifu asked all the families to eat together in the hall, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was very bad. After eating coldly, the table was removed coldly. The last is An Zhifu's lecture. The content of the training is nothing more than that, each house must manage the servants well, and control the mouth. The rules mentioned in the past are not just for fun. Today, there are servants who committed crimes and have been severely punished. The servants broke the rules, and the whole yard was punished together.
Erfang Tan waited for An Zhifu to finish speaking, and then co-authored some words of discipline, acting like a mistress. Mrs. Xue, the third room, hurriedly responded and said that what the master and the second sister said was true, the servants in her yard were all well-behaved, and she would discipline them more strictly, and never make mistakes. On the other hand, there is no master in charge of the big room, so the second sister has to worry more.
Tan's heart was annoyed when she heard this, but she couldn't get angry. This arrangement means that the mistakes made at the other end of the first room will also be blamed on her head. If the whole yard is punished together with what the master just said, it implies that the whole yard of the second room will be punished together with that lowly slave today. is it? But she had acted like a mistress earlier, and the eldest room had no master to discipline her. If she hadn't shouldered this responsibility, the act just now would be a joke.
Tan Shi clenched her fists and secretly swallowed the breath. He said to An Zhifu: "My lord, what Sanmei said is reasonable. It's impossible to have no one in charge at the other end of the big house. Why don't you leave it to me to deal with it from now on." The old nan made a mistake and picked it up.
An Zhifu couldn't hear the intrigue hidden in the words of these women, and Tan Shi said what he said before he finished venting his anger.
Mrs. Xue hurriedly said that the second sister had worked so hard, and she was quite proud of it. Dafang's courtyard is the most unflattering group in Anfu, where the main wife and concubine's room are easy to manage. If you manage too much, you will lose your tongue, if you manage too little, you will make the master unhappy.
In the past, any mistakes were the eldest girl An Ruochen's fault, now that An Ruochen has left, the big house is even more embarrassing. The master didn't straighten any of the concubines, and he didn't hear that he planned to marry another one. The courtyard of the big house seemed to be guarding his status. Back then, the wife Fan Xinxian was also very concerned about her status, if the master didn't say anything, the concubines and concubines would have no future.
Mrs. Tan has always been strong, she wants to take advantage of both inside and outside, and she often puts on a posture of disciplining each house, as if she is the mistress. Mrs. Xue has had a long-standing grudge, and today she took advantage of today to stuff this hot potato into Tan's house. in his hands. An Ruochen will definitely hold grudges for Tan's taking care of the big house and yard. Who knows what the future holds? Anyway, no one of them can defeat Mrs. Tan now, so let's help her make enemies.
