The Red Mansion's Doting Wife Maniac

Shao Yinian rubbed his forehead and complained, "Be gentle, if you lose your appearance, can you afford it?"

"Repay? You've lost all your brains, why do you still want your face?" Lu Yongyuan said angrily.

Shao Yinian was annoyed, "Why are you talking?"

"You think about what you said yourself?" Lu Yongyuan gave him a sideways look.

Shao Yinian thought for a while, and suddenly felt a little terrified. He smiled mischievously, opened his fan to cover half of his face, and fell silent.

He didn't think about what he said just now, but he said such a thing to Chen Yun, if Chen Yunxian found out, he would be able to expose him.

Chen Yun looked at the two bickering, and realized what was going on, chuckled twice, "As for it? My elder brother isn't that scary, is he?"

"You're the only one who thinks so?" Shao Yinian put down his fan and pouted.

Chen Yun smiled and didn't argue with him, "Okay, stop chatting, what do you want me for?"

"Let's go and talk?" Lu Yongyuan raised his chin to the shade of the tree by the courtyard wall, and motioned.

Chen Yun raised his brows, but this time he did not refuse. He covered the sun with the fan he opened, and walked under the shade of a tree.

"Mysterious, what's the matter?"

Lu Yongyuan looked around, lowered his voice and asked him, "Last time at Shengqing Lake, we met your elder brother and Zhang Tongpan, do you still remember?"

"Of course I remember." Chen Yun borrowed.

Lu Yongyuan asked again, "Did you ask your elder brother what happened to the murder in Shengqing Lake after you went back?"

Hearing this, Chen Yun glanced at him, "Are you prepared?"

They are all friends who grew up together, who doesn't know who?

Lu Yongyuan grinned, not guilty, "Don't you know that you are very curious, and you will definitely ask your elder brother when you go back?"

"I did ask." Chen Yun excused.

Lu Yongyuan lifted his spirits, "How?"

"My elder brother didn't say anything."

Lu Yongyuan's expression froze, "Didn't tell you?"

Chen Yun sighed, "Brother said that this matter is very involved. It is no good for me to know too much. Not only did he not tell me, but he also didn't allow me to inquire."

"This is troublesome..." Lu Yongyuan frowned.

Chen Yun raised his eyebrows, "How do you say?"

"Yinian's father is the governor of Shuntian Prefecture. As you know, only the general judge of Shuntian Prefecture was investigating the murder case of Shengqing Lake. Zhang Tongpan seems to have a good relationship with your brother, so he took your brother to Shengqing Lake to investigate. , I don’t know exactly how, I only know that Zhang Tong took people around to arrest people one day after the sentence, but they were not caught, and Princess Le Yao disappeared.”

Chen Yun didn't respond, "Whose family does this Princess Le Yao belong to?"

"Princess Le Yao is the daughter of the Fifth Prince Zhao Wang." Lu Yongyuan said.

Another royal daughter.

Chen Yun sighed, "So, knowing that a murder case has just occurred in Shengqing Lake, but still wanting to play there, what kind of death is it?"

"Now is not the time to talk about these things. Princess Le Yao has disappeared. King Zhao asked Uncle Shao, and the emperor also ordered Uncle Shao to find the whereabouts of Princess Le Yao. If something happens to Princess Le Yao, Uncle Shao..." Lu Yongyuan sighed .

Chen Yun was speechless, "These royal people will blame others if something happens."

Lu Yongyuan's complexion changed slightly, "You say this too, don't you die?"

"I probably understand what you mean by looking for me. You want to know if my elder brother told me about this, and you want to use this to find the murderer." Chen Yun said directly, refusing to answer Lu Yongyuan's words.

Lu Yongyuan didn't bother to talk about Chen Yunjue, and said, "It was originally planned, but now you don't know it, so it won't work."

"When I asked my elder brother a few days ago, he said that this case is very involved. I guessed that it was related to several princes. Now Princess Le Yao has disappeared, which makes me confirm this guess." Chen Yun sighed.

Chen Yuncheng's elder brother is not a timid person. He is always proud and confident that he can cope with all kinds of changes. The only thing that can make him have such an attitude is related to the royal family.

It may even be involved in the battle for the throne.

Since ancient times, the battle for the throne has been full of bloody storms.

The reason why the Chen family was able to survive the past few decades and two emperors was because the Chen family did not get involved in these things.

Shao Yinian is not a fool, Chen Yun almost made it clear by these words.

He and Lu Yongyuan looked at each other, borrowed a gift from Chen Yun, and expressed his gratitude without saying much.

"It's hot, you guys don't go out for a walk, I'm leaving." After finishing speaking, Chen Yunjue went back to the school. It was still much cooler inside the school than outside.

Lu Yongyuan watched Chen Yun borrow into the school, and sighed, "The two brothers of the Chen family are not simple."

"In the past, I thought that Yunyu was too inferior to his brother, and he didn't have much scheming, but today I feel that I underestimated him." Shao Yinian also sighed.

Lu Yongyuan said, "The Chen family has such arrogance, it can guarantee the Chen family's prosperity and wealth for decades."

"Let's not talk about that, what do you think about what you just said?" Shao Yinian asked Lu Yongyuan with a solemn face, no longer the playful look of the past.

Lu Yongyuan thought for a while and said, "The two brothers of the Chen family know each other very well. Since Yunzuo dares to say that, he must be somewhat sure. After you go back, tell Uncle Shao about this possibility. He has been an official for more than ten years, he can handle it."

"Okay." Shao Yinian pondered for a moment, then nodded.

In a blink of an eye, it was Shenshi, and the academy was over.

When he got home, it was close to Youshi, so Chen Yun asked the servant to put the bookcase back, and turned to Chen Yunxian's yard.

The Imperial Academy is very leisurely, and Chen Yunxian usually has gone home by this time.

Hearing that Chen Yun borrowed, Chen Yunxian told his wife and went to see Chen Yun borrowed in the study.

"Run to me right after school, what happened again?" Chen Yunxian said.

Chen Yun borrowed the matter of Lu Yongyuan and Shao Yinian looking for him today, "I'm not here to inquire about the news, but I just feel that I need to tell my elder brother about this matter."

"It's a bit of progress." Chen Yunxian praised him, thought for a while, and said, "Don't worry about this matter, don't ask about it, stop here, understand?"

This answer did not surprise Chen Yun, he nodded, "I see, brother."

"Is there anything you don't understand in the recent schoolwork?" Chen Yunxian asked.

Chen Yunjue asked Chen Yunxian about his recent confusion. Chen Yunxian's level was much higher than that of Mr. Hu, and he explained it clearly to Chen Yunjue in a few words, "Is there anything else you don't understand?"

"No more." Chen Yun shook his head.

Chen Yunxian nodded, "Go back to study when you're free. You've made a lot of progress recently. I'll test you again tomorrow."

Chen Yun got up to say goodbye, returned to the yard and started reading.

……

Lin Fu...

Because there is no mistress in the family, and Lin Ruhai is busy with government affairs, Daiyu is now in charge of the Lin family's housework.

At the beginning, Daiyu was still a little flustered with the help of Butler Lin, but after she gradually learned the complete set of housekeepers rewarded by the system, she became more and more proficient in housekeeping.

Lin Ruhai came back from the yamen of the Ministry of Households this day, and was a little surprised when he heard the steward's report, "Is Yu'er really in charge of it so well?"

"Young lady is already [-]% as capable as my wife in running the house. She is still young, and it is not uncommon for her to catch up with my wife in a few years." The housekeeper said.

Hearing this, Lin Ruhai thought for a while and said, "Give the pair of dowry slips left by Madam to Yu'er."

Since Yu'er has the talent to manage accounts, don't let her bury it and let her practice it. When Jia Min married him, she was the daughter of the Duke of the Kingdom. Come, enough for her to eat for a lifetime.

"Give your wife's dowry to the girl now? Do you want to take part of it for the girl to get used to?" Lin Butler was a little surprised by Lin Ruhai's generosity.

Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "Yu'er is Madam's only child, so her dowry is naturally Yu'er's."

Even if Song Yuting married into his family, Jia Min's dowry would not be distributed to her.

"But……"

Lin Ruhai raised his hand to stop him, "Yu'er is not a reckless child, she has the talent to run the house, as you said just now, she is now [-]% as good at running the house as the wife, and the wife's dowry is given to her, she Not to mention, Madam's dowry will be given to Yuer sooner or later, since she can take care of it now, why not give it to her earlier?"

"The old slave understands." Now that the master has made a decision, he naturally has no position to stop it.

Looking back, Lin Butler checked Jia Min's dowry list and made sure there were no omissions before bringing it to Daiyu.

Daiyu was a little dazed when she received such a generous dowry list, "This is..."

"The master said that the lady's dowry will be taken care of by the girl now. When the girl gets married in the future, these will be the girl's dowry." Lin Butler honestly conveyed Lin Ruhai's meaning.

Daiyu had a clear mind, how could she not know Lin Ruhai's intentions, he would marry another, fearing that Daiyu would be disturbed, so she simply gave Daiyu Jia Min's generous dowry, with this dowry in her hand, no matter what the future would be, she would never forget her. Have enough confidence to face.

"I see." Daiyu took the dowry list to the warehouse to check it, and then asked someone to bring the account book of the dowry shop.

Recently, after reading the account book of the Lin family, Daiyu just got off work and was still a little uncomfortable. Now that she has a new account book, Daiyu has things to do.

Most of these dowry shops were purchased by Rong Guo Gongfu for Jia Min, and most of them were used by members of Jia's family. Dai Yu just checked the old accounts of several shops and found that there were some inconsistencies.

She frowned, and calculated again, making sure that the accounts were wrong.

Lin Daiyu was not in a hurry to have the manager of the shop called for questioning. She spent three or four days checking all the old accounts of the dowry shop, and most of them had problems.

Most of them started from the year when his father went to Yangzhou to take office, because that year his younger brother died young and his mother often fell ill, and these accounts were basically handed over to the servants around him, but these people, even before her mother When she was here, she tossed about her mother's dowry.

There seemed to be a fire burning in Lin Daiyu's heart.

These hateful house thieves!

Lin Ruhai was busy with government affairs, and Daiyu didn't want to bother him with these things, but she didn't have anyone in her hands.

Asking people to put away all the ledgers and put them in her room temporarily, and then kick out all the waiters, Daiyu was very upset and couldn't help but think of Chen Yunjue.

I haven't seen him here for quite a while, and I don't know what he's been up to these days.

Thinking of the Jia family's dowry servants stealing her mother's dowry, Daiyu's dislike for the Jia family increased a little.

On the other side, Chen Yun was concentrating on reading, when suddenly he felt sleepy, yawned, lay down on the table and fell asleep instantly.

In the blink of an eye, she arrived at Daiyu's room, looked up and met Daiyu's moist eyes.
