"Back off!"
When Qiu Lian heard this, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, but just as she finished her farewell ceremony, she heard another faint instruction.
"Remember to come over at midnight tonight!"
"Slave, you obey!"
His body swayed, and his lowered eyes were full of fear.
Because she didn't know what kind of torture she was going to suffer at night, Qiulian hurried back to her room, not paying attention to the envious and jealous eyes of the maids outside.
"Have you found out where the fifth young master has been and what he has done these days?"
"Back to the eldest young master, the fifth young master has been to ordinary places these past few days, such as Uncle Jiayuan's Mansion and Yongning Marquis' Mansion. The rest of the time is to go to the Flower House with those dandies from Shengjing to have fun!"
"The little man from Hualou also went in, and those young masters really went there to have fun!"
Tingsong replied.
"If we check again, he was able to escape unscathed that day at the hunting ground. Either he knew our plan in advance, or he must have had something else to rely on!"
Rong Yue's face turned gloomy. Most of the men he had deployed in the army were destroyed this time. Even Lieutenant General Liao was dismissed from his post. However, his fifth brother was not hurt at all. He only injured the useless Zheng Chengdu. If that It would be great if Rong Jiu was the one who lost his arm.
The fourth prince was also dissatisfied with this.
Fortunately, the people captured this time were all members of the Wei family. The soldiers who were directly involved in Zuo Weiwei died in the hunting ground, so he would not be involved.
A few days ago, he encouraged his eldest sister to search Rong Jiu's study. Unexpectedly, this was also a failure, and he was blocked outside by a roommate.
"I obey my orders! But the eldest young master does not need to worry too much. On the old lady's birthday that day, although the fifth young master could not make a fool of himself in front of the guests, the fourth prince's medicine should have been used by the fifth young master. Otherwise, how could he suddenly accept it? Tongfang!"
"The fifth young master has used this medicine, and the fragrance of Qingmei's body is still there. There will be no hope of heirs in the future, and your majesty will not be able to ask an extinct person to inherit the title!"
"We can just find an opportunity to expose this matter then!"
Speaking of this, Rong Yue felt a little upset. Both he and Rong Ying had tested whether Rong Jiu had any Chinese medicine on his birthday, but they still haven't confirmed whether it was true or not.
At the hunting ground, I wanted to tie up the girl and force her to question her, but Wei Yunqi spoiled her.
But thinking about Qingmei being kicked out of the house a few days ago, he felt a little unsure.
Driving the people given by the queen to Zhuangzi would definitely not be just for a self-recommendation pillow, maybe they had found out something.
"Take these and go outside to make some!"
After thinking deeply, Rong Yue gave the banknote in hand to Tingsong.
"The mother of Sun in this sewing room is also very capable. She can provide a lot of money every month. If I get Aunt Luo's people away this time, I think there will be more money in the future!"
Tingsong took the banknote and spoke with joy.
Rong Yue remembered what Sun's mother had just said.
Luo Shi's appetite has grown a lot over the years, so it might be a good idea to take advantage of the sewing room to work on it this time.
However, what happened in the sewing room turned out to be beyond everyone's expectations.
Not only was Mama Qi, who was in charge of the warehouse, demoted to the rank of rough lady, but Mama Sun also lost her position as the chief manager.
"How could Madam act so resolutely this time!"
In the room, Taoye said doubtfully while applying medicine to Xiuyin.
"It's a little strange. Maybe what Qin's mother found out this time is not trivial!"
The two of them were in the outer courtyard. Taoye rarely went out in order to take care of Xiuyin, so he didn't know the specific things that happened in the inner courtyard.
But the day before, Mama Sun had also accused Mama Qi and others of being greedy and unruly.
The news came from the two little maids who were good friends with Xiu Yin while they were delivering things.
"But this is better. Mother Sun is harsh in her treatment and greedy for money. The embroiderers in the sewing room are often punished!"
Xiuyin was still a little happy.
However, Taoye felt that something was wrong. Sun's mother was the dowry of the late wife, and she had been able to secure her position over the years through this status.
Moreover, Aunt Luo was the instigator of the Lake Silk matter, so Mother Sun should not be involved.
"Miss Taoye, the young master invites you to serve the meal!"
While Taoye was thinking about it, Nanyun came in to deliver a message.
"The fifth young master calls you, go quickly, don't think about me!"
Tao Ye has been taking care of her these two days, and Xiu Yin is afraid that the fifth young master will be dissatisfied with her.
"Well, if anything happens, call Nanyun to help!"
Since Xiu Yin came over, except for giving him medicine on the first day, the fifth young master has never summoned him.
"Fifth Young Master!"
After entering the room, Taoye's eyes flashed slightly when he saw Qingxing standing at the table.
"Sister Taoye is here, come and have a meal!"
Qingxing saw Taoye with a smile on her face and full of hospitality in her tone.
Rong Jiu didn't even raise his eyelids at the table. Tao Ye didn't dare to sit down on his own initiative, so he stood on the other side. The two of them served Rong Jiu on the left and the right.
Until dinner was finished, Rong Jiu didn't say a word to Tao Ye. On the contrary, Qing Xing next to her looked at Tao Ye's face several times.
"You can take the rest and use it!"
Rong Jiu threw the handkerchief into Qing Xing's hand with a calm expression.
This was said to the two of them, and Taoye followed him out.
"Sister Taoye, why don't we go back and use it together? The fifth young master specially gave it to us. If I have it all to myself, I'm afraid it will go against the master's wishes!"
At this point, Taoye couldn't refuse, so he agreed.
"Our house is not as exquisite as Sister Taoye's, but now that I live alone, it is quite spacious!"
Qingxing led Taoye to sit on the table in the middle.
Taoye just smiled slightly. The furnishings in this room were no worse than those in hers. The soft pillows on the bed were made of fine Sichuan brocade, while the ones on her side were just brocades commonly used for official purposes.
Zhao Jin takes care of everything in this courtyard, and he is really attentive to these two people.
"There were many misunderstandings between us in the past, but now we are the only two left by the Fifth Young Master. We must take care of each other in the future!"
"Sister Qingxing, please don't do this. Taoye can't afford it. Let's eat quickly and don't waste the master's thoughts."
Taoye quickly stood up and took the bowl and chopsticks from Qingxing's hand, saying in panic.
The fifth young master's meals were all delivered from his wife's small kitchen. The dishes were exquisite and delicious. Tao Ye was a little hungry, so she just ate.
Qingxing wanted to speak several times, but failed.
"Today's dish is not to your liking, sister Qingxing?"
After Taoye had eaten and drank enough, she looked at the rice in Qingxing's bowl and asked doubtfully as she hadn't even taken a few bites of the rice.
"No, it's just that I ate too much for lunch and I don't have much appetite this evening!"
Qing Xing was holding back her breath and couldn't find anything to eat.
But after finally waiting for the person in front of me to finish using it, I could finally say those words.
"My wife called me over before dinner..."
Qingxing paused deliberately, but when she saw Taoye didn't respond at all, she had to continue: "I was rewarded with many things, so that my sister Taoye and I can serve the fifth young master well!"
