The Cute Peasant Wife: Mian Niang - C271 Master Wen, your hairpin dropped

Master Wen, your hairpin is missing

Gu Yue bent down, picked up the thing on the ground, and put it in front of Jiang Ting: “This is what you dropped, right?”

A simple wooden hairpin, even wood, was the most common peach wood.

There were no complicated patterns, nor was there any skill to steal from the sky.

Even if it were placed on the street, it would probably not attract anyone’s attention.

However, such a wooden hairpin could attract the attention of the guests if it fell into a large courtyard full of rich officials.

Gu Yue looked at this wooden hairpin, then looked at Master Wen in front of him.

A ninth rank official was someone of low rank and came from a poor background. He could live his life in poverty even if he was from a well-off family on the streets. The clothes he wore was probably the only thing that could be worn in public.

It wasn’t strange for him to have a wooden hairpin like this.

Just the looks in the eyes of the crowd towards the Master Wen contained some meaning.

This ninth rank official from outside was a little too shabby.

This was just the Gu Hou Palace. If he went there, he wouldn’t even be able to enter.

Pah pah, is this considered disrespect to the King Rong, who would hope for his death if it was nothing, or the King Rong’s death?

Jiang Ting reached out his hands and took Mu Jin over.

Gu La’s movements hesitated for a moment.

Why did this thing look a little familiar to him?

“Thank you, master Hou!” Jiang Ting bowed in gratitude.

“Oh, Master Wen is too polite.” Gu Xin handed the wooden hairpin over.

Seeing that the Master Wen had thanked him repeatedly, he went into the mourning hall.

Gu steed stood back to Gu Xing’s side and continued to see him off.

However, that hairpin had always lingered in his mind.

He was sure that he had seen this hairpin before, but just where had he seen it?

“Third Bro.” Gu Xing patted Gu Xin’s arm and reminded him to send off the guest.

“What are you thinking? Always in a daze? ”

Gu Han gazed at his elder brother, slightly narrowing his eyes. He remembered where he had seen that wooden hairpin before.

He immediately headed inside, but was stopped by Gu Xing: “Where are you going?”

“Second brother, you deal with it first, I have something to do.”

He brushed away Gu Xing’s hands and rushed towards the mourning hall.

In the mourning hall, the “Master Wen” and other officials of the same rank were offering incense to the Senior Marquis.

Jiang Ting’s expression was calm, and his heart was in turmoil.

In his memory, it was indeed the King Rong that brought a group of people and copied down his entire family. At that time, he also knew that these two people were not only the chief judge of that case, they were also the overseer.

It was truly a matter of life and death. Dozens of people in the Jiang family had lost their lives just like that.

It was impossible to say that he did not hate her, every time Jiang Ting woke up from a nightmare, he would always wish that he could pick up the sword in his hands and kill his former enemy without hesitation.

Every time he faced the King Rong, he would have to work hard to suppress the hatred that was continuously rising in his heart.

He knew that revenge was not enough. He had to restore his father’s innocence and make his father, the Jiang family, no longer become the target of abuse for the world’s scholars.

The finest gold silks and zhennan coffins, the standard for the funeral of a first rank marquis.

Jiang Ting thought of his own father, who had once been a great official of the first rank. However, in the end, he had only been covered by a straw mat, and had been separated into families.

If it wasn’t for the fact that someone had secretly collected the ashes of the Jiang family, they would’ve likely been buried in the unmarked cemetery.

The emperor had said that the Gu Hou had contributed a lot, but the things he had investigated did not stop at this point. This Gu Hou seemed to be involved in the entire matter.

So what was the truth?

In fact, the truth was very close to him, but why was it that every time he investigated, he would always encounter such a difficult problem?

What was the truth?

And what about those clues that are always interrupted by accident?

His Majesty had promised more than once that he would return the truth.

He didn’t know if the truth was what he wanted.

How many things were hidden behind the truth?

Jiang Ting looked at the censer, and recited in his heart: “No matter what the truth was at the beginning, I thanked you for saving my life, but if you really played another role in this case, Jiang Yihan will definitely not let it go.”

He wanted to repay kindness with kindness, and he wanted revenge for it.

Jiang Ting turned around and followed the people beside him to receive their respects. Seeing Gu Xin, who was standing in the middle of the crowd, staring straight at him, he faintly frowned his brows, but he quickly covered it up and followed the crowd outside.

Although Gu Han was greeting guests, the corner of his eyes were always on Gu Shenwei.

Jiang Ting was even more certain that he was here for him.

However, for some reason, he suddenly noticed her.

Just where had he exposed himself.

Jiang Ting followed the crowd and walked out.

He cupped his hands and bowed towards Gu Yue.

Gu Xin raised his eyes, looking very polite, just like the others.

If it wasn’t for Jiang Ting’s alertness, she definitely wouldn’t have thought that he was secretly paying attention to his.

Only when Jiang Ting walked over, his gaze once again fell on this person.

This person’s footsteps looked quite familiar.

Just as he was thinking, a report came in from the door. It was Prince Rong coming to pay his respects.

The two uncles of the Gu family hurriedly stood up and went to welcome him. When they passed by him and saw that he was still dawdling, they urged him, “Hurry up and welcome your father-in-law, what are you standing here for?”

Gu Xin was unwilling in his heart, but he was still pushed outside to welcome the Prince Rong by his two uncles.

After being interrupted, Master Wen had already disappeared into the crowd.

Gu Han’s thoughts moved, and his steps instantly became much calmer.

Not only was King Rong here, he was also here.

Even if the father and son with power over the imperial court were to appear here, they would still be the center of attention.

Gu Yue was polite and not disrespectful to others, but his gaze was focused on the and his son’s group of followers. When he saw Jiang Ting’s figure, he couldn’t help but be stunned.

That person was no different from what he had seen before.

The black clothed sword was hidden within the crowd of followers. Its face was ordinary, one would not even notice it if it brushed past one’s face on the street.

Only the sharp look in his eyes would catch anyone’s attention.

His eyes met Gu Xin’s and then moved away, completely normal.

He was actually comparable to the Son of Heaven. If it was any other day, Gu Xin would definitely snort disdainfully at this, but this time, Gu Xin couldn’t care less, he only searched for the figure of Master Wen in the crowd.

Soon, he found his target.

Gu Xin’s mind froze and he looked towards Jiang Ting once more. However, the cautious gaze towards Jiang Ting didn’t seem to be any different from usual.

Gu Xin couldn’t help but wonder if he had really made a mistake.

He did not give up and looked at both sides again.

Master Wen was still Master Wen, and Jiang Ting was still Jiang Ting.

These two people were only two people.

Then what was his illusion?

Gu Yue couldn’t get away at the moment, so he could only call Gu Wen, his follower, and have him find someone to keep an eye on Master Wen.

Even if he wasn’t Jiang Ting, he had to figure out what was going on with that wooden hairpin.

Because he was sure that it belonged to Mian Niang.

As far as he knew, this Master Wen came from the south, so there was no way he and Mian Niang could interact in any way. Why did Mian Niang’s hairpin land on him?

However, he could not hold onto this matter for now. He could only put it aside and investigate later.

The two most recent matters were probably whether or not the Gu Family Xiu Chi had hooked up with the young master of the Gu Family. This matter had been stirred up from the year before until the new year, and did not disappear just because of the Chen Family not breaking off the betrothal rumors. Instead, it caused the crowd’s discussion to become even more heated, and this was like a riddle, the more the Chen Family wanted to cover this matter up, the more people talked about it.

After walking through three villages, Mian Niang had met at least a dozen people who came to him to ask about the Chen family’s matters.

Mian Niang was helpless, she could only shake her head, unable to explain.

The people who came to ask about it could not help but feel disappointed, “Luckily you all live in the same village and know less than I do.”

Most of these people were the kind that loved to pass down gossip in the village. After saying this, they would inevitably tell everyone they knew. They described everything vividly, as if they were cats that had seen it with their own eyes.

Mian Niang smiled and did not comment.

These people talked so much that they could not get even the slightest response. They all felt that it was boring, so they stopped talking. Those who wanted tofu, who wanted tofu, got tofu; those who wanted tofu, got tofu, all dispersed.

Of course, he had also received quite a bit of congratulations today, because the other thing was the matter of the Song Family’s big brat who had been sent to the military to get rid of his criminal record.

Mian Niang never thought that news would spread so fast. The first time she heard congratulation, she had not even realized it.

After walking through the entire village, he gradually calmed down.

There was no one along the way, so she could not help but shout out.

There were only two words in his heart: Satisfying.

It was really satisfying.

She, Brother, is no longer a sinner. No matter where he goes, he won’t need to see anyone mention his brother’s fake cackle.

Mian Niang had a smile on her face.

Only now do I really feel that there is hope for the days to come.

Walking on the road, it was as if he had already seen the good days waving at him.

Not a single bit of tofu remained on the carriage as Mian Niang drove the carriage home.

There was a layer of grass under the carriage, which made it warm and comfortable for him to sit on. He didn’t feel the bumpiness of the donkey cart at all.

Mian Niang carefully thought back to the past two days, and suddenly realized that Mother’s attitude towards him had also changed.

The two of them seemed to have returned to the days before she was married, and they seemed to be closer than before.

However, my mother was still distant from me last time when I was slurping.

Mian Niang could not figure out the reason, so she decided not to think about it anymore.

She was awkward and stubborn, and was easily tricked, but she also knew that she had to keep looking forward and not just in the future.

When he got home, he told his mother and brother about what happened today.

Song Zhien was only happy.

The Gu family of the Chen family had nothing to do with him. He was only happy that his own brother had gotten his innocence.

Song Lishi, leisurely sigh: a light rain wet clothes, gossip hurt the good men.
