Chapter 610 Enquiry, What Happened at the Pavilion in Those Days

The pavilion is still there and seems to be rarely, or not daily, patronized.

Cold weather, and close to the river, so cold and remote place, really should not come to the pavilion to enjoy the lake view, but now is different, has already begun the spring, not long after, should be very warm, this is a good place to go.

The one Wei Yuewu brought over was not a maid, but Sister Mei, who she had once asked to inquire about something before.

Carrying her skirt over, she hardly had to look for it, the soft cushions were vaguely here, casually going over and leaning against one of the pillars, and with a couple of slight movements of her foot, she stepped on that one particularly smooth spot.

Even sitting here, it feels slippery.

“Sister Mei, I heard that something happened here?” Wei Yuewu stood up, carefully avoiding that one bump, and frowned her willow brows.

“Yes, county master, that will slave girl just happen to have something to be too madam branch to the outside of the house to do business, about half a month or so, but when the slave girl came back, I heard that the county master’s foreign ancestor’s family want to pick up the county master, to be raised to the south of the Yangtze River, the slave girl at that time did not pay attention to it, and then after a long time, the slave girl occasionally asked about this pavilion, and someone acted strangely and told the slave girl not to ask too many questions. ”

Sister May said.

“How is the question this time?” Wei Yuewu explored and looked at where she was sitting, shaking it slightly, the fence was nailed down very sturdily, shaking it hard actually didn’t shake, it was even sturdier than the pavilions in other places inside the mansion.

“This time the slave girl went to find the last time to talk to the slave girl about the expression of the strange people … ” Mei Sister hesitated for a moment, “but still did not ask what, only said that this place is evil, so that I am fine not to take the county princess over. ”

“Who is this person?” Wei Yuewu asked as her hand touched a spot on the fence, her long eyelashes fluttering twice.

“It’s a coarse maid of advanced years, used to be from the same hometown as the slave girl, so she’s a few points closer than the others, and last time the slave girl was sent to the Qing lotus courtyard, she also warned me that I should be more careful with everything, and remember that the marquis’ side doesn’t care as much about the county princess as the outside says.”

Wei Yuewu clearly remembers that when she entered the capital, all the people were looking at her as a joke, believing that she was not in her father’s heart at all, and that she was just an abandoned daughter, but she never imagined that a coarse maid could accurately tell her father’s mind, which was really surprising.

“Since it’s a rough maid, she’s the one who does the chores, which piece of chores is she in charge of?” Wei Yuewu narrowed her watery eyes, her eyes pale and cold as she asked.

“This … mansion’s miscellaneous land, is also changed from time to time, the slave girl is also not clear which piece she is now in charge of.” Sister Mei awkwardly shook her head and said.

Wei Yuewu didn’t say anything this time, the subtle touch under her fingers, slightly different, lowered her head to look carefully, only to find that there seemed to be more nails on the side of the pillar.

The eye shifted back to the other side, which was painted the same deep red, but still slightly different.

“Has this place been remodeled?” Wei Yuewu asked with sunken eyes.

“There should be no bar … House rules, if it is not broken, it is not possible to rebuild again, this pavilion was the earliest time but not fenced, and ordinary one of a kind, the slave girl is not familiar with this side of things, so I do not know when this pavilion is fenced. ”

Sister May shook her head.

Wei Yuewu sat down thoughtfully, still sitting by the pillar and leaning back, subconsciously picking up the cushion on one side in her hand with skillful movements.

“Has County Mistress been here before? The slave girl feels that County Mistress is familiar with everything here!” Seeing Wei Yuewu move so skillfully, Sister Mei couldn’t help but ask.

Watery eyes suddenly stunned, Wei Yuewu’s face showed a hint of shock, reaching out to touch her forehead, “Sister thinks I’m familiar with this place?”

“Yes, the slave girl sees that the county master’s demeanor almost doesn’t need to think, so it’s obvious that the county master’s is very familiar with this place, but at that time, the county master was bound to still be young, and it’s possible that she can’t remember much.” Sister Mei laughed.

Wei Yue-mai’s foot stepped on the slightly slippery bump again, then looked at the fence over there, beyond which should be the lake, and her eyes slowly sharpened, “Sister Mei go and call that granny here.”

“Now?” Sister May froze.

“Yes, just this time!” Wei Yuewu nodded, there were some things that she really wasn’t willing to wait any longer, it looked like this was really a hidden secret, otherwise why wouldn’t they all dare to mention it.

She was basically certain that this place should have something to do with herself.

All the clues threaded into a string that slowly unfolded before her eyes.

“Yes, slave girl will go right away!” Seeing Wei Yuewu’s urgency, Sister Mei nodded, not daring to hesitate, she turned around sharply and left.

The pavilion was quiet, Wei Yuewu sat quietly, her hand against her forehead propped against the fence on one side, her eyes slightly closed.

The wind doesn’t blow in here, but you can hear it blowing the sides of the pavilion, the temperature isn’t too low, but the wind is still a bit strong, and whistling sounds come from time to time.

But it seemed more and more that the whole pavilion was quiet.

In this peace and quiet, inexplicably as if there is a feeling that flows in the heart of Wei Yuehu, some shock, some fear, panic …

These negative emotions, however, should not have appeared on Wei Yuewu’s body at this time, and her delicate face grew colder and colder.

Sister Mei came back with an older matron, and after seeing Wei Yuewu timidly bowed, she stood to the side with her hands hanging down.

“Do you know what happened here?” Wei Yue Ming looked at the granny in front of her and said gently.

“County master, slave girl doesn’t know, slave girl doesn’t know anything, slave girl is just a rough servant, and doesn’t know what happened!” Hearing the question, the granny hurriedly shook her hands about, extremely flustered between her looks.

“Don’t know, or don’t want to say?” Wei Yuewu’s eyes looked at that granny with a light color, a bit of glittering light flickering in her eyes, “This kind of thing is not something you may not say if you don’t want to say it.”

“Sheriff Master!” The granny was so frightened that she knelt down with a “thud”, “Sheriff, the slave girl really didn’t know anything, at that time, the slave girl was only a servant girl, how could she possibly know about this kind of thing!”

“Which kind of thing is this kind of thing?” Wei Yuewu flew to catch the loophole inside the granny’s words and coldly forced the question’s.

“Sheriff, you … you spare the slave girl, the slave girl really doesn’t know anything, didn’t see anything!” The granny trembled as she rushed towards Wei Yuewu and kowtowed heavily, only a few times before her forehead was knocked still.

“Sister Mei, tell her not to kowtow, even if she kowtows again, this is something I need to know today, if it’s good to talk about it then talk about it, if not then I’ll ask father, it’s always because of you that I know about it.”

Wei Yuewu’s eyes were cold as she looked at the granny and raised an eyebrow.

A sentence scared the granny almost paralyzed on the ground, this if let the marquis think that this matter is her provocation, then there is still her benefit, remembering the scene of that day, the granny almost shivered into a ball, this matter although the past so many years, but because at that time to her shock is too big, so that to the present do not dare to think about it.

“Old Sister, don’t kowtow, since the Sheriff Master has asked, just say it, it’s hard to believe that with the Sheriff Master protecting you, she can’t make you do anything!” Sister Mei came over and whispered in a low voice, reaching out to help the granny, trying to dispel her scruples.

“But … but …” The granny turned to Sister Mei with two straight eyes, and at a glance, she knew that she had been shocked, and her face was pale.

“But because of me? Something happened to me here back then?” Wei Yue Ma raised her eyebrows and laid another heavy blow, reaching out to touch her head, “Actually, there are some things I’ve remembered, I just couldn’t think of them very clearly, so I came to ask you.”

She’s deliberately fraudulent.

“Sheriff Master, slave girl really doesn’t know ah, slave girl was just a rough servant at that time, it’s impossible to see anything at all.” The granny thought that Wei Yue Ma was really remembering something, and said urgently.

“Even if the slave girl knows some, but … but not all!”

“Then tell me what you know!” Wei Yuewu’s face remained unchanged as she looked at the granny, her eyes burning but her face extremely calm.

“Slave girl … slave girl …” In the middle of winter, the granny was forced to see sweat on her forehead, and looked pleadingly to one side at Sister Mei.

“Old Sister, you’d better say it, what the Sheriff wants to know, even if you say it, it won’t be on your head.” Sister Mei also saw the abnormality of this granny and advised again.

“But … Marquis … Marquis …” stammered the granny.

“Father doesn’t allow others to talk nonsense?” Wei Yue Ming interjected.

“Yes, the marquis does not allow people to casually talk about it, … and if it is found, it will be directly caned.” Granny forehead cold sweat straight, “And at that time slave girl will be really just a coarse make granny, only far to see, but not really.”

You’re actually going to have someone caned just because of one sentence? Wei Yuewu had never seen Wei Luo Wen so furious! Although the look on Wei Yuewu’s face was calm, in her heart she felt odd, no wonder no one mentioned this kind of thing, only to lose their life for spreading a rumor, no one would dare to do this kind of thing.

Father can be different from the general marquis, military generals born of him more killing punishment decisive, this word since it is said, but also must have done so, otherwise this granny will not be scared into this.

“Has anyone ever been caned?”

“Yes … yes, there are two big maids, privately and secretly, and then … they were caned, and I heard that one was still next to the dowager lady, and Nanny Hong went over to say that it was useless.” The granny wiped a cold sweat and said.

Even the people around the Dowager Lady have been broken in the hands of her father, no wonder a rough servant girl would be so scared, with this forewarning, so there are no more rumors in this house.

Yet she had to know.

“Tell me, I won’t say anything at father’s place, and what’s more it’s not really you who spread the rumor, it’s me who asked you, but if you don’t tell me, I’ll say that you’re spreading the rumor just as the maids in my courtyard heard it!”

Wei Yuewu slowly shook her own wide sleeves, daintily cast a sidelong glance at the granny, the smiling face was exquisite and absolutely beautiful, but in the eyes of the granny was a thick chill.

“Yes … yes, county master, slave girl said!” The granny there still dared to disobey and said with a trembling voice.
