Chapter 153: Clouds of Doubt
Cheng Yu stayed at home specially today. When he thought about getting the beauty in his arms that night, he felt inexplicably good.
Although, keeping a woman of unknown origin around is risky,
But, how can you get the tiger cub without risking it?
How can I find out her background if I don't keep her by my side?
How can we figure out the whole story?
This was the real purpose of taking her as a concubine, not because of her beauty.
However, this girl doesn't seem to be very beautiful.
She is short, and Ayuan is much better looking than her.
But why do I seem to like her so much?
While he was thinking in the study room, Ah Cai rushed in.
When she learned that Cheng Yu actually wanted to take her as a concubine, she was so angry that she almost laughed.
She wanted to ask him face to face, but the maids didn't dare to tell her where the marquis was?
But she knew he must be in her yard at this time, so she rushed over.
The maids and nannies behind looked and saw that this was the way to the Marquis.
They were all terrified and started chasing after him. No one knew how this young lady, who had just arrived, knew that the Marquis was here.
"Husband, oh no, Lord Marquis, why do you want to take me as a concubine for no reason?"
She suddenly rushed in, and Cheng Yu was also startled.
A group of people followed him in and immediately knelt on the ground when they saw him, explaining breathlessly,
"My Lord...she, she,"
"Your servant..."
They wanted to say that she rushed in on her own and we couldn't stop her.
Cheng Yu frowned, waved his hand to let them leave, then looked at Ah Cai and asked,
"What, you don't want to?"
"What do you say?"
Ah Cai asked him back,
Cheng Yu said, "Didn't you always call me husband? Why don't you want to do that now?"
"I call you husband because you are indeed my husband and I am your legal wife,"
"I am a first-rank imperial lady, with the title of Lady of the Left County of Hua Ning."
"You want to reduce me to a concubine now, so tell me, am I willing?"
These words shocked Cheng Yu.
This girl's hysteria is really serious!
My legal wife has always been Yuechan. Ayuan is a princess of Liao, so her status is equal to that of my legal wife.
You, a little girl of fifteen or sixteen, still want to be my wife?
Or a lady of the first rank?
I myself don’t know when I had so many wives?
Cheng Yu had a headache. This girl's illness was a bit serious. It seemed that he had to find a doctor to come back and see her.
Such a patient is not suitable for wedding.
"So what you mean is, don't marry me, right?"
"I have already married you a long time ago. How many times do you want me to marry you?"
"...Okay then, I'll have someone cancel today's wedding,"
"Um,"
She nodded and said, "Hey, there's one more thing."
"you say,"
"I plan to go back to the academy tomorrow. Please have someone prepare a carriage for me. I am almost getting mushrooms from staying in the mansion all day."
"Back to college? Back to which college? What are you going to do in college?"
"Back to the Industrial College, of course, to teach, what else would I do?"
"…You, teach??"
This sentence shocked Cheng Yu again!
It seems that this girl not only has hysteria, but also megalomania.
A teenage girl wants to be a husband?
The question is, are there any students willing to let her teach?
You know, the Industrial College is full of talented people.
Oh! Forget it, let's ask a doctor to come back and treat her first!
When Sun Yuechan and the others in the mansion heard that Miss Acai refused to marry the Marquis, they were all shocked.
I thought to myself, she really thinks she is a dish!
Later, when people learned that the Marquis had asked someone to invite a doctor to see her, they realized that this girl had a mental problem. It was no surprise that she did something so outrageous!
……
……
"Hello, Lord."
"Doctor Li, please stand up,"
"Thank you, Lord."
Doctor Li was one of the resident doctors in the Marquis' Mansion and had superb medical skills. After he visited Acai, he was invited to Cheng Yu's place.
"How is her condition?"
"My Lord, this girl is fine, she just has a poor appetite. I will prescribe some medicine to stimulate her appetite and strengthen her spleen."
"…Nothing serious?"
"Yes, she is in good health."
"But she keeps talking nonsense. I suspect she has hysteria."
"This... she doesn't seem to be hysterical,"
"People with hysteria will always have a disordered pulse and reversed qi and blood flow, but her pulse is very normal."
"Moreover, when she was communicating with me, her thinking was clear and logical, and she didn't sound like a hysterical patient."
After hearing this, Cheng Yu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"Master Hou,"
Doctor Li pulled him out of his thoughts.
"This Miss Acai seems to be quite familiar with me. She even asked how my grandson is doing in the Industrial College now."
"But I don't know her. Did the ladies in the mansion tell her?"
This sentence really scared Cheng Yu.
She has only been here for a few days, who would tell her about Dr. Li’s family affairs?
After sending the doctor away, Cheng Yu fell into deep thought again.
There are so many mysteries about this girl!
Could it be true, as she said, that the black devil spirit wiped out all traces of her?
Have we all forgotten her?
I rely on!
If you can believe this, then I am the one with hysteria.
In order to "lure the snake out of its hole" and further find out the truth about A Cai, the next day, Cheng Yu really had someone arrange a carriage for her, and asked the maid A Xiu to follow her and go wherever she wanted.
However, she was not satisfied when she saw the ordinary carriage.
"Where is my special Flying Horse?"
"It's at least 20 miles from here to the college. If we take this bus, we might even miss our breakfast."
"This...I don't know."
"This was arranged by the Marquis."
Ah Xiu had no power to arrange for her to ride in a Feichi brand carriage.
You know, there are only four such carriages in the mansion, one for the Marquis, one each for Madam Cheng, Madam Yue, and Madam Yuan.
This kind of carriage is so expensive, how can others be qualified to ride it?
"Isn't the one that the Marquis has mine?"
"He never rode in a carriage, he always rode on horseback,"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, because it was just as she said, the Marquis mostly rode a horse and rarely took a carriage. Someone immediately reported this to Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu was also surprised when he heard this!
There are only two reasons why she is so familiar with the situation in the mansion.
One is that it is really as she said, we have all been cast into amnesia by the black magic spirit, but this reason is really unreliable, and anyone who believes it is a fool.
The other situation is very serious. There is a very powerful enemy behind them. He is familiar with the situation of Cheng Yu and everyone in the mansion, including the people they have contacted. He knows everything, and then sent Cheng Acai to contact them, and made up such a big lie. When they believe it, this person will take conspiracy action.
Their target must be Cheng's Industry. You know, there have always been many people who have their eyes on it. Controlling Cheng's Industry is equivalent to controlling half of the economy of the Song Dynasty.
With such huge interests at stake, who wouldn't do anything to achieve their goals?
