Help! The system forces me to support a man to become a royal concubine
Chapter 26 The Bride's Strange Story
"You all don't look like locals. I wonder if you have a place to stay in Yizhou?" Chen Xingyao asked tentatively.
"Well, we are here to have fun, but we haven't found a place to stay yet." Yun Fu said before Song Qian and Mo Xuan could answer. Song Qian sighed helplessly, while Mo Xuan doubted himself and thought: "If we don't have a place to stay, then what is the posthouse we are staying in? Is it a haunted house?"
"That's great." Chen Xingyao said excitedly.
"Ahem, what I mean is that you can stay at my house, as a thank you for your help just now." Chen Xingyao said with a little embarrassment as she looked at the three pairs of eyes that suddenly looked at her.
The next day, early in the morning, Chen Mansion...
Hui-style buildings have gray tiles, white walls and tall gatehouses. The walls of the gatehouses have exquisite carvings, and the carvings on the roofs are even more exquisite and beautiful. There is a water system running through the entire building, and the green trees and mountains echoing in the background make you feel like you are in a fairyland. Pavilions, terraces, pools and waterside pavilions are reflected in the green pines and cypresses; rockery and strange rocks, flower beds and bonsai, vines and green bamboos are dotted in between. Turning east, passing through an east-west hall, and behind the south hall, there is a large courtyard inside the ceremonial gate, with five large main rooms on the top, and wing rooms on both sides with deer-roofed ear rooms drilling into the mountains. It is connected in all directions and magnificent.
"I guess these people are the noble people who helped my daughter Xing'er yesterday. Thank you all for your help. I apologize for not being able to entertain you yet." Mrs. Chen said with a smile as she looked at the three people in extraordinary attire in front of her.
"Mrs. Chen, you're too polite." Song Qian said lightly.
"Mom~" I heard her voice before I saw her. A clear and pleasant voice came from outside the house, and then I saw a graceful figure slowly approaching from a distance.
"Xingyao greets mother." Chen Xingyao bowed to Chen's mother and said tenderly. Chen's mother looked at her daughter who had changed back into women's clothes, then looked at the two young men sitting opposite her and smiled with understanding.
"Xingyao greets all of you young men here. I wonder if you three are satisfied living here?" After saying this, Chen Xingyao looked at the expressionless Mo Xuan with admiration.
"Very good, thank you Miss Chen for your hospitality." Yun Fu hurriedly said when she saw that Mo Xuan was slow to answer Chen Xingyao's question.
"That's good." Chen Xingyao glanced at Mo Xuan with a smile, called him an idiot in her heart, and turned around to continue chatting with Yun Fu.
Mo Xuan looked at the woman in front of him, who was not as stunning as his master but also unforgettable at first sight, and thought to himself: "Yesterday I thought this man was too pale and weak, but it turns out he is a woman? As expected, people who have seen the master in women's clothes can't tell that she is a woman dressed as a man." If Yun Fu heard this, she would probably say: "Only a fool like you can't tell that it's a woman." After Mo Xuan finished thinking, he looked at Song Qian with a face full of grievance. Song Qian's mouth twitched at Mo Xuan's eyes and he looked over coldly. Mo Xuan was frightened and quickly drank a sip of tea and looked away.
"Pfft, has he always been like this?" Chen Xingyao secretly pointed at Mo Xuan and asked softly in Yun Fu's ear. Yun Fu covered her mouth and smiled secretly and nodded. Song Qian looked at the two people whispering in each other's ears and thought: "It seems that my wife is going to be snatched away? But this Miss Chen seems to have taken a fancy to Mo Xuan, it seems that Mo Xuan has to deal with her." At this time, Mo Xuan suddenly shuddered, thinking that the house was leaking, and looked around.
"I'm tired. Xing'er, please entertain these distinguished guests well." Mrs. Chen left with a smile.
"Yes, mother." After paying her respects, Chen Xingyao continued to chat with Yun Fu. She learned from Yun Fu that they would stay for a few days and then continue to travel. Chen Xingyao took the opportunity to ask to join them.
After five days, Song Qian and several others took Chen Xingyao to bid farewell to the Chen Mansion and headed towards Yunzhou. Chen Xingyao changed back into men's clothes, but this time Yun Fu also changed into men's clothes.
Yunzhou...
"Are you tired? Take a rest, take a rest." Song Qian asked Yun Fu, who looked tired.
"Okay." Yun Fu said softly.
"This Mr. Song is your husband, right?" Chen Xingyao whispered in Yun Fu's ear as soon as the four of them arrived at the teahouse. Yun Fu nodded shyly.
"They are a perfect match~" Chen Xingyao winked and smiled at Yun Fu.
"Don't you think he is too handsome?" Yun Fu asked a little doubtfully.
"It's quite nice, and seems to be very popular." Chen Xingyao looked at Song Qian, then looked at the girls around her who were frequently flirting with her, and couldn't help but twitching her lips.
"But you are not bad either, you are very pretty, and don't you think he is cold? He doesn't like to talk, and those eyes are chilling when he looks at you." Chen Xingyao couldn't help but shudder when she thought of this. It seems that the lady is really about to be abducted by this Chen Xingyao. No, I have to throw Chen Xingyao to Mo Xuan as soon as possible and send him away, so that I can be alone with the lady. Song Qian looked at Yun Fu who had been whispering in his ear and ignored him since entering the teahouse, thinking silently.
"The Tan family is really committing evil~ Oh~" a voice suddenly came from the next table.
"Who said it wasn't? This is the fifth bride, right?" Upon hearing this, Song Qian and others looked at each other and realized that something big had happened in Yunzhou, so Song Qian signaled Mo Xuan with his eyes to go and inquire about it. As for Song Qian and the other two, they returned to the inn first.
"My dear friends, what's the story about the bride of the Tan Mansion that you are talking about?" Mo Xuan looked at the two people in front of him who seemed to be about to say something, took out a silver ingot from his arms and continued: "Oh, I am a tourist from another place, and I am afraid of causing any taboos."
"So that's how it is." After receiving the silver, the two of them told Mo Xuan the whole story.
evening......
"How is it? Have you found out anything?" Yun Fu couldn't help but ask anxiously when she saw Mo Xuan coming back.
"The Tan family is the richest in Yunzhou, and they are cousins of the county magistrate here. However, the Tan family only has a sickly young master. This young master Tan has been staying in the mansion to recuperate. It was fine until the beginning of ten years ago when the Tan family suddenly started to prepare a marriage for this young master Tan. At first, no girls from good families were willing to marry him, but the Tan family offered a high salary and did not require a dowry, so some daughters from poor families were willing to marry him." Mo Xuan took a sip of tea and continued: "It was fine at the beginning, but from the second year on, this young master Tan's wife suddenly died, and the other brides also died of various causes. Now he is the fifth bride."
"It seems that the Tan Mansion is hiding some secrets." Song Qian said after thinking for a while.
"Little Egg? Can you find out what happened in the Tan Mansion?" Yun Fu asked Little Egg silently in her heart.
"Host, I just checked, but I don't have enough authority to view it. It seems that this is a side quest, so you have to check it yourself." Little Egg said apologetically.
