Tang Yuyao didn't know anything about Zhao Ting now. She and Xiao Yunduo stayed in the rented yard for one night. They made a simple breakfast the next morning and took Xiao Yunduo out again.
I met the aunt next door again outside the door. She looked much more nervous now than yesterday. As soon as she saw Tang Yuyao, she came over immediately: "Are you going out again? Where are you going?"
Tang Yuyao guessed that this person was probably agreeing to Mrs. Jiang watching her and Xiao Yunduo, but today she had already thought of the reason, so she said calmly: "I plan to go to the embroidery workshop. I want to make some handkerchiefs, insoles, etc." I’m going to sell it for money, but I don’t know if it will be collected there.”
The aunt next door nodded in understanding. It was normal to want to make money. This yard could earn five taels of silver a month. But Ms. Jiang gave her money and asked her to keep an eye on her, so she said: "Mrs. Lu who lives over there said that if you want to go out today, you should go over there and take the servants with you first, otherwise you two will be alone. It’s not safe.”
Tang Yuyao glanced in the direction pointed by the neighbor's aunt and said, "Okay."
After agreeing, he pulled Xiao Yunduo over.
The aunt who led the family watched with her own eyes until they turned a corner and were completely out of sight, then they turned back home with confidence.
Tang Yuyao and Xiao Yunduo waited for a while in the alley over there. When no one could be seen, the two sisters came out and walked onto the main road from the alley over there.
In fact, Tang Yuyao cares more about safety issues. As a person who has died once, how can she not cherish life? Even if she hires a car, she would rather spend more money to go to a big car dealership. Normally she wouldn't dare live in a rented house alone, but she just casually told the neighbor's aunt about the embroidery workshop, and now she decided to really try her luck at the embroidery workshop. Of course she needs to make money. Although she is not short of money for the time being, she is not used to being idle all day long. And if she is a good embroiderer, she will not be rejected if she works as an embroiderer in an ordinary embroidery workshop. And if the embroidery workshop comes to help rent a house, it will be equivalent to having a backer, which is safer.
She made Zhao Ting's underwear when he was in Prince An's Mansion. Zhao Ting was very particular about it, and if the stitching was slightly thicker, it would be uncomfortable to wear. Therefore, Yuqiu had been practicing for several years but could not make him underwear. And with this ability, even if she didn't have the flexibility to come up with any outstanding embroidery, she was immediately hired by an embroidery studio with such good needlework skills.
The owner of the embroidery workshop was a woman. I heard that she was looking for a place to live with her sister. Seeing her difficulty, she immediately said that there was a place to live behind the embroidery workshop.
Tang Yuyao followed and took a look. There were two wing rooms in the east and west of the embroidery workshop. Now, in the two east rooms, an old couple lived on one side and a woman lived alone on the other. A pair of little sisters lived in the room on the west side, and the room was still empty. Although the direction was slightly different, it was okay to live there. Xiao Yunduo had no objection, so the two sisters decided to move in. However, the clothes they bought yesterday were still in the house over there. When the two sisters went back, it was cold and both of them were thin, so they had all the clothes on.
As for the grain, oil, rice, flour, bedding, and bowls and chopsticks, we have no choice but to get rid of them. We cannot leave without them.
Fortunately, there was no shortage of money. After returning to the embroidery workshop, they took off their clothes. The two sisters bought all the daily necessities near the embroidery workshop. Tang Yuyao took over the job that afternoon.
The light in the room was pretty good in the afternoon. Tang Yuyao was sitting at the door doing needlework. Xiao Yunduo moved a small bench and sat on the edge, slowly peeling chestnuts while taking the time to watch Tang Yuyao at work. In fact, she can now make simple small things, but her sister is reluctant to bear her hard work, so she won't do it for the time being. She peels a chestnut, eats half of it herself and then gives half to her sister. It feels like she will spend her days from now on. It’s so sweet!
Xiao Yunduo was so happy that she fed Tang Yuyao half a chestnut and said, "Sister, I feel so happy."
Tang Yuyao turned her head to look at her. Her sister's face was bulging because of eating, but her eyes were curved with a smile. As for her, she had completely left Prince An's Mansion. Even though she had not left the capital yet, the moment she left, she was destined to never repeat the same old path in her previous life, and she would not be lonely with her sister by her side.
She said: "I feel so happy too."
The two sisters looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

It was only at this moment that Jiang finally saw Lu Qinghe.
Lu Qinghe, who was in a bad mood, ignored Mrs. Jiang all morning. Only after Mrs. Lu persuaded her did she come out.
"Ha, Mrs. Lu's whole person has changed since she climbed a high branch." Lu Qinghe was in a bad mood, disliked everyone, and was even more merciless towards Mrs. Jiang.
Mrs. Jiang came because she had something to do, so she didn't care about Lu Qinghe. She just said, "Don't you know why I came?"
Lu Qinghe raised his eyes and looked over: "Why are you here?"
Mrs. Jiang said: "Let me tell you something that will affect your happiness for the rest of your life."
Lu Qinghe sneered, about her lifelong happiness?
The imperial edict has been issued, but the Lu family dare not resist it. Her father is silent, and her mother only sighs. Her happy father can't do anything about it. Can Lu Zhongkai?
Madam Lu just went to call Lu Qinghe, but it was because Lu Huaiyuan told her that she would secretly get close to the female relatives of Prince Cheng in the future. She knew that Lu Zhongkai had now joined Prince Cheng, so she forced Lu Qinghe to come out when Mrs. Jiang came over. At first she didn't think anything would happen, and she was even annoyed with Jiang for not knowing how to move forward or retreat. But now when she heard this, she suddenly became serious, and with a wave of her hand, she and all Jiang's servants were driven out.
"Niece-in-law, what do you mean by this?" she asked.
There were only three people left in the room, and Mrs. Jiang said bluntly: "I don't know if Mr. Lu has told you that my husband specifically told me that King Cheng meant that Qinghe should be married to Prince An smoothly. , but on the wedding night someone will cooperate with her and kill King An."
"Ah!" Mrs. Lu screamed in fright.
Lu Qinghe's eyes widened and he asked, "Am I crazy? If I kill him, can I still live?"
Mrs. Jiang smiled lightly and said: "Kill him and you will have the opportunity to choose a husband again. Or, if you don't like anyone, would you like to become the king's concubine?"
Become the king's concubine?
Her status and appearance are clearly as good as those of a royal concubine!
But I have to say that King Cheng is always better than King An.
Lu Qinghe couldn't make up his mind, but Mrs. Lu knew better, and her heart was beating wildly. Then she was not the concubine of King Cheng, but the future concubine of the emperor! If you have better luck, it may be possible in the future...
Before Lu Qinghe could speak, Mrs. Lu said hurriedly: "Okay, niece-in-law, we know what you mean!"

After leaving the Lu Mansion, Ms. Jiang, who had been trying to remain calm, immediately changed her original appearance. Her face turned pale and her legs went weak. If Lu Zhongkai hadn't seen her at the door and quickly came up to hug her, she would have almost fallen down with her belly full of fear.
The scholar Lu Zhongkai was not strong enough, so he worked with the servants who accompanied Jiang to help Jiang into the carriage.
When the carriage started to move, Mrs. Jiang held her stomach and said with a somewhat uncomfortable look on her face: "Husband, my stomach hurts a little."
Lu Zhongkai was startled and said hurriedly: "Lean on me and relax first. Let's go home right now!"
After saying this, he kicked out the boy who was following him and hurried to call the doctor. He urged the coachman: "Hurry up!" and said: "Be careful, don't be too bumpy!"
