Ever since Cheng Guanyue learned of Wei Shengxiao's thoughts, she sped up her investigation on him.
Sure enough, Second Grandmother felt guilty, all those people staying by her side were newbies, those who accompanied her for many years were either married off or sick or dead, or just disappeared without a trace.
In short, other than Second Grandmother and Shen Lanxin, it was possible that the only other people who knew about the huge palace were Eunuch Xi and Eldest Princess, as well as the other female servants who had disappeared.
"Warm, the information you told me to ask for, I've asked for you." Cheng Xiuhua anxiously walked to Cheng Guanyue's side and sat down, then poured herself a cup of tea and said.
"Sis, drink some water first. You can talk after you've finished drinking." Right now, and Cheng Xiuhua were the ones in charge of the Hou Mansion, so many of the servants were very familiar with them.
After all, if you want to curry favor with Su Chunmei and Cheng Xiuhua, then naturally, you have to do it in front of the two of them.
As for Cheng Guanyue, other than fear, they revered him.
They didn't dare to say anything about her behind her back, as they were afraid that if Cheng Guanyue found out, they wouldn't be able to get anything good out of it.
This allowed Cheng Xiuhua to help Cheng Guanyue investigate the news of Second Grandmother's servants marrying each other.
"Warm, I asked the oldest gatekeeper in the mansion, Old Wang. He said that among the servants that accompanied Second Grandmother, there is only one left alive who is deaf and can't hear or speak. "Tell me, why are you looking for her?" Cheng Xiuhua asked in confusion.
"Sis, I'm looking for her because there's something urgent. I just want to ask where she is right now. Does he know that Old Wang? " Cheng Guanyue felt that although more than a decade had passed, this clue definitely existed.
It was impossible for all of them to be obliterated and not a single one could be found.
"He said that the only servant girl that survived was in the capital. She was just washing people's clothes and earning some money to live." Cheng Xiuhua thought that this Second Grandmother was extremely strange.
Why was it that the only remaining person alive was a deaf mute? Wasn't this rather suspicious?
"Thank you elder sister, I have something on right now, so I'll be leaving first." Since Cheng Guanyue knew that the deaf and mute maid was still alive, she must find her quickly.
We can't be discovered yet.
Otherwise, Second Grandmother would probably send someone to take care of the servant.
"Hey, Warmth, where are you going this time?" Cheng Xiuhua had already been stunned several times by Cheng Guanyue's flustered state, she really could not guess what she wanted to do.
On the other hand, Cheng Guan Yue was searching for the most destitute house in the capital. After all, even though deaf-mute maidservant was married, the other party was a gambler. She could only wash her clothes and live in peace.
Sure enough, Cheng Guanyue used her spiritual force to find a yard full of clothes hanging on the air.
However, she didn't see any trace of the deaf-mute maidservant, so she continued to walk forward.
It was only when Cheng Guanyue noticed a clear and bottomless river nearby, that she looked upstream and saw a patched woman wearing a white dress with a blue background. She squatted beside the river and kept beating on the dirty clothes with the club in her hand.
From the looks of it, it should be that deaf-mute maidservant.
After all, it was now time for lunch. No one else was washing their clothes in this river. Besides her, there was no one else.
She then watched as she carried a large basin of clothes into the courtyard. However, before she could put down her clothes, a wretched big fellow, who was wearing a long jacket, suddenly rushed out from inside the house, grabbed the club in her hand and threw it towards her.
"You stinking bitch, you wash people's clothes every day and earn money! Get it out for me. " Not only did the wretched guy beat deaf-mute maidservant up with his hammer, he even grabbed her wrist with one hand, not allowing her to dodge.
However, the deaf-mute maidservant could not shout, nor could he scream. He could only shrink back and allow the attack to happen. At the critical moment, it was Cheng Guanyue who kicked the door open, sending the wretched man flying with a kick.
"Are you alright?" When the vile big guy was lying on the ground wailing and unable to get up, Cheng Guanyue asked as she signaled the deaf-mute maidservant.
That deaf-mute maidservant seemed to be a very quick-witted woman. Therefore, the moment she saw Cheng Guanyue's hand gesture, she shook her head, indicating that she was not injured.
However, Cheng Guanyue grabbed her sleeve and rolled it up to her arm. The result was bruises and bruises.
Immediately after, she found many other injuries on deaf-mute maidservant's body, and even some hidden places were being abused.
"Follow me, I'll take you to the doctor." Cheng Guanyue then indicated to her with her hand language. Her hand language was taught to her by her uncle, so when she gestured, it sounded good and she was basically deaf and dumb. She should be able to understand it.
deaf-mute maidservant, on the other hand, somewhat awkwardly tried to pull out her sleeves from Cheng Guanyue's grasp. Unexpectedly, Cheng Guanyue directly picked her up and said, "You're injured, I have to treat you, or else there will be very serious consequences."
Furthermore, the wounds on her body had been there for a long time. Some of them were so deep that they were almost full of pus.
Cheng Guanyue felt that she had not been able to satisfy that wretched man, so she gave him a few more kicks, which caused him to cough out a lot of blood. She even fainted on the spot.
This was also good, as she didn't need to find a rope to tie him up.
deaf-mute maidservant, who was being held by her collar, stared fixedly at the perverted burly man who had fainted. There were no signs of sadness in her eyes, only satisfaction and hatred.
Presumably, he would always suffer under the hands of this wretched man.
Not only did she have to wash a lot of clothes and earn money, but she also had to be abused by that wretched big guy from time to time. It could be seen that her days must have been extremely arduous.
On the other hand, after Cheng Guan Yue kicked the wretched burly man unconscious, she directly brought deaf-mute maidservant to the capital's best famous doctor's building.
When Dr. Wu saw her, he was slightly shocked and alarmed. Fortunately, there were a lot of people in the infirmary, which perfectly covered up the abnormality of his face.
On the other hand, Cheng Guan Yue felt that Dr. Wu's fear and panic was a normal expression. If a lot of people in the capital saw her, they would walk far away and beat her up for fear that she would look down on them.
However, those who had such thoughts were usually the children of wealthy families, just like those ordinary commoners who didn't even have enough time to thank them! When he saw her, he would take a detour.
