Quick Travel to the Clouds

Chapter 364 Special Hidden Mission 5

In July, Deng even took a special leave for Yun Chu, asking her to accompany Yun Ning to visit someone.

The place where we met was the Big Buddha Temple.

The two families agreed to go together to burn incense and worship Buddha.

The man Mu Yunning met was the grandson of the Minister of Works, Guo Ming, who was twenty years old.

This Guo Ming is not a good man. He hasn't even married a wife yet, but he already has three maids who sleep with him in the same room with them. Many young men from wealthy families do have maids who sleep with him in the same room with them before they get married.

In this era, there were very few young men from noble families who did not have maids who shared the same bed with them.

But Guo Ming was a man who had no regard for gender. He slept with the servants and male actors around him.

She couldn't let her sister marry such a person.

Wouldn’t that make my sister and the man jealous?

When we arrived at the Big Buddha Temple, Mrs. Fang and Guo Ming were already there.

The two families went to worship Buddha together, pretended to meet by chance, and went to the side room to chat.

"Let's have a good chat. Ming'er, take Miss Mu for a walk." Mrs. Fang said.

"Okay, mother." Guo Ming looked at Mu Yunning and said with a smile, "Miss Mu, please come this way."

"Sister, come with me." Mu Yunning pulled Yun Chu.

"Okay, sister." Yun Chu replied sweetly.

Guo Ming was looking for topics to talk about along the way, and would show off his knowledge from time to time.

Yun Chu's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but say something sarcastic, "Mr. Guo is very talented, I wonder if he passed the imperial examination?"

Guo Ming laughed awkwardly, "I am not talented, I am just a student."

"Then Mr. Guo, you must work hard." Yun Chu said, "By the way, I have another word for you, Mr. Guo. A gentleman is cautious about what he cannot see and fearful of what he cannot hear. Nothing is more hidden than what is hidden, and nothing is more obvious than what is subtle. Therefore, a gentleman is cautious when he is alone."

Guo Ming thought it sounded very familiar, but he had no idea where it came from or what it meant.

"Sister, there's nothing interesting to see in this temple. Let's go back to find mother."

"Okay." Yun Ning did not object. Her sister must have discovered something, which is why she was mocking Mr. Guo.

"Why did you come back so soon?" Mrs. Deng looked at the two children and asked.

"Mom, let's go to the next room and talk for a few minutes." Yun Chu said.

"Mrs. Fang, I'll be back soon." Deng took the two children to the next room.

"Tell me, what happened?"

"Mother, this Mr. Guo has kidney deficiency, and the servant who accompanied him has a strange walking posture and expression." Yun Chu said, "I suspect that this Guo Ming is gay."

Deng brought Yunchu here so that Yunchu could see through his face whether the man had any hidden problems.

Unexpectedly, Yun Chu actually saw through it.

After hearing Yun Chu's words, Deng and Mu Yunning's expressions changed.

"I asked someone before, and I found out that Guo Ming has three maids." Deng said.

Yun Chu immediately responded, "Then this Guo Ming must be popular with both men and women."

Deng and Mu Yunning: "......"

"Kid, why do you say anything out loud?" Mrs. Deng tapped Yun Chu's forehead.

"Mother and sister are not outsiders." Yun Chu said, "This is a matter concerning the rest of my sister's life, so we must be careful. Mother should find someone to find out more."

After the mother and her two daughters finished chatting, Mrs. Deng chatted with Mrs. Fang for a few words and then found an excuse to leave.

Afterwards, I sent someone to investigate thoroughly.

Although the Guo Mansion kept the secret tightly under wraps, money was a powerful force and some of the servants in the Mansion sold the information for money.

After hearing the news, Mrs. Deng was so angry that she smashed a set of cups.

This Guo family is really amazing. Such a scum actually dared to covet her daughter.

When Mu Xingsui came back from duty, Deng told him what had happened, "If it weren't for Yunchu, I would have been deceived by the Guo family."

"The Guo Mansion is not good, let's take a look at the other two families. There are still two families there." Mu Xingsui said.

"Let's not go through the matchmaking for now. I'm going to let Yun Chu go and take a look first." If there are any problems with the other two families, and the matchmaking fails, then these men might spread rumors that their daughters are too picky.

She didn't want such rumors to spread about her daughter.

Deng wanted Yun Chu to go see the other two, but unfortunately they were both studying at Minghe Academy and couldn't be seen now.

Moreover, both of them were preparing for the imperial examination, hoping to pass the test, so Mu Xiu would not go home either.

Yun Chu suggested that she could disguise herself as a man and go to the academy with her fifth brother.

Mu Xingsui and Deng both disagreed. Although it was related to Yun Ning's happiness, they could not let Yun Chu go to the academy. If he was discovered, Yun Chu's reputation would be ruined.

But after seeing Yun Chu dressed as a man, the two agreed.

When Mu Yunhai returned home after a day off, Yun Chu disguised herself as a man and followed him to Minghe Academy.

Deng found two other blind date candidates for Yun Ning. One was Fang Feiang, 19 years old, and the other was Li Yaoyang, 20 years old.

Yun Chu entered Minghe Academy as Mu Yunhai's servant.

Yun Chu’s makeup skills were so good that even Mu Yunhai didn’t recognize her when he saw her.

Because Yun Chu changed from a fair-skinned pretty girl to an inconspicuous boy with yellow skin.

During lunch break, Yun Chu met the guy her sister was seeing. She just came for the formality. Yun Chu had already made inquiries about these two people.

Fang Feang had a concubine who gave birth to a child, but the child was hidden by Fang's family.

Wait until Fang Feiang marries a wife and then bring the child out.

Li Yaoyang was a man of integrity, but when he drank, he liked to beat people. Two of his maids and servants were beaten to death.

Yun Chu left Minghe Academy in the afternoon and returned home.

Yun Chu told his father, mother and sister the news he had found out.

Three people: "..."

Mu Xingsui was very curious, "Yun Chu, how did you find out?"

Yun Chu coughed lightly, "Dad, I drugged the servants of Master Fang and Master Li. They can ask whatever they want."

Mu Xingsui: “…”

"This matter cannot be spread outside." Mu Xingsui coughed lightly and said.

Deng and Mu Yunning said that they would definitely not spread the news.

"Father, mother, why don't you meet Feng Youan, the son of Feng Yuanshi of the Ministry of Justice."

"Although Feng Yuanshi is an eighth-rank official from a poor family, Feng Youan is quite good. He was already a juren at the age of 20. He is very talented and may become a jinshi in the imperial examination next year."

"And Chief Feng Youan is also a handsome man."

"Such a good boy, but no one is proposing marriage for him?" Mrs. Deng asked puzzledly.

"Yes, there are many marriage proposals, but Feng Youan is not very happy with marriages. The proposals he met all have bad intentions. Some wealthy families want to marry their daughters with problems to Feng Youan."

"Some want to win over Feng Youan through the concubine's daughter."

"But they were all rejected by the Feng family."

"Father and mother can send someone to investigate."

Mu Xingsui and Deng said that they would send someone to investigate thoroughly.

But they felt that most of the information they inquired about was told by Yun Chu.

A few days later, Mu Xingsui finished his shift and waited for someone at the palace gate.

"Mr. Feng, I wonder if you have time for a drink."

Feng Caixian looked at Mu Xingsui, a little surprised, because he had no contact with Mu Xingsui.

But he still nodded and agreed.
