Peerless Female Bandit: Carry A Husband Home - C187
“Greetings to the old lady!” Murong Yuntong meekly bowed, and the Old Lady Wang squeezed out a smile, “Alright, Ao …”
Peony explained, “The old lady said, the girl is filial, sit down!”
Old Lady Wang winked at him, and Peony translated again, “Has the old lady asked you if you’ve eaten yet?”
Murong Yuntong sighed, “How can I eat it, I don’t know if the princess will tolerate it.”
Old Lady Wang curled her lips, “No … “I’m afraid …”
“The old lady told you not to be afraid, someone is helping you. Lady, don’t worry!”
After talking for a while more, Murong Yuntong left the old lady a handkerchief embroidered with her own embroidery, showing her filial piety, and then took her leave. When she walked out of the house, Dong Yan quietly said, “We’re waiting at the flower garden.
Murong Yuntong nodded and went around the flower garden. Sure enough, she saw Hong Xing standing under a tree, looking at them and walking over.
The day that the old lady was assassinated, Lady Yue was locked in the west room, and when they went in, she did not bring any map, but when Young Marquis came, he asked her about it and did not give it to her, but according to Young Marquis’s meaning, that thing is indeed in Lady Yue’s hands, and Lady Yue has four people, three men and one woman, the woman is called Qing Mei, the man doesn’t know. After Hong Xing finished, he looked at Murong Yuntong cautiously.
Murong Yuntong shot Dong Yan a look of disdain. Dong Yan took out a silver ingot from her sleeve and showed it to her, “We didn’t ask you anything, understand?”
“I understand, I understand. Don’t worry, this little one’s mouth is the most tight-lipped.” Hong Xing took the silver and stuffed it into her sleeves, as if she had seen a ghost.
Dong Yan said with disdain, “Why are you still talking about loyalty, how loyal can these kind of servants who can easily buy with money be?”
Murong Yuntong laughed when she saw her serious look, “There are more people like her in Dazhou, then we can complete the mission easily.”
Dong Yan laughed, “That’s right, do you think that Lady Yue can buy it too?”
“You’ll know once you try.” Murong Yuntong smiled proudly as she walked back.
“Do you think she’ll carry the map with her?”
“It shouldn’t be. Although she looks carefree, she is extremely meticulous. Just a single spider web revealed our background, so she wouldn’t be so foolish as to bring such an important thing with her.”
A small figure appeared from behind the tree and slowly moved away on both hands.
Hong Xing took the silver and her heart was in a mess. After leaving the flower garden, she came to a house, “I will follow your instructions, please let me see my second son.”
“Alright, since I’ve already promised you, I will naturally keep my promise. You can go back today. As for the old lady, I will tell the peonies.” An old female soldier with her back was speaking in a light tone.
Hong Xing happily thanked the little shorty and quietly left. She did not make a sound, and quietly disappeared behind the tree.
When Tie Yi returned to the Old Lady Feng, the old lady had been socializing for the whole day and was lying on the bed resting due to exhaustion. A little girl was patting her legs and another little girl was feeding the old lady a bowl of bird’s nest.
The old lady glanced at Tie Yi and unhappily waved his hand, telling the two girls to retreat. He then started to teach Tie Yi a lesson, “You’ve grown up and your wings are stiff.
Tie Yi held his head, and kept sniffling his nose, “Grandson would not dare, it’s just that Vice Minister Wang drank a few more cups, and after drinking too much, he wanted to leave. Who knew that he would fall asleep in the flower garden’s cave, if not for Aunt looking for him, I would still be lying there.”
“Achoo!” Another big sneeze. His nose was almost at his mouth. He quickly wiped it off with a handkerchief.
Old Lady Feng felt her heart ache again, “You silly brat, don’t you know how to hide? “You’re just a little kid, how can you compare to those drunkards? Hurry up and get the doctor to prescribe the formula for dispersing the medicine.”
Tie Yi snorted his nose and laughed, “I’m fine, just drink some ginger soup and I’ll be fine.”
Old Lady Feng frowned as she looked at him, “No, why are you so red?”
Reaching out to touch it, he felt the heat on his forehead and immediately called for the doctor.
Peony had already arranged for someone to go get a doctor, and after a while, he came in and took Tie Yi’s pulse, “He has caught a cold, his condition is not too good, this illness is urgent, and there are still some dangers, the house still needs to choose a quiet place for marquis to rest, I’m afraid this person will surpass the others, whoever is serving him has to be careful, and do not leave the courtyard easily.”
As the old doctor spoke, the Old Lady Feng became anxious, “Isn’t this trying to take my heart? “I was hoping to save some trouble after getting married just now. What’s wrong with that?”
Peony said, “It would be better to clean up the study in the front yard and let marquis stay there to recuperate. That place is also quiet.”
The Old Lady Feng could only agree, “Go and explain everything to the princess. Luckily, the princess is injured, so she shouldn’t be blamed.”
When Peony arrived at the Purple Bamboo Hall, the princess had already rested for a long time. Li mama came out to plead her guilt, but Peony said, “Big Sis is begging for forgiveness from your princess, marquis drank too much wine and caught a cold in her sleeping quarters. Now that we’re outside recuperating from illness, I’ll have to come and beg for forgiveness after a few days later.”
Senior Servant Li had been in the wrong, but now that Peony had said this, she felt wronged. She had to take a look for herself before she could relax.
“It’s not that you don’t want your sister to see, it’s just that the doctor said that the marquis will be sick, and the people served in the courtyard are not allowed to come out, until the marquis is completely recovered. Even if you go, you can only stay outside and watch. Peony comforted good Senior Servant Li before taking her people away.
The Princess was sleeping soundly, so she didn’t know anything about what had happened outside.
Yue Ying wanted to take advantage of the darkness to leave the palace, but Empress’s Phoenix Nest Hall was heavily guarded, and because she escaped from an important eunuch, she was able to send more people at every intersection.
Suddenly, a fragrance assaulted his nose. It was food, Yue Ying’s eyes lit up, looking in the direction where the fragrance came from, and felt his way forward, meeting several teams of patrolling guards on the way.
After walking through a corridor, they were closer to where the fragrance was coming from. This was probably a small kitchen.
The kitchen was very meticulous. All kinds of food were placed on the table. There was a big steamer on the stove. The fire in the stove was still burning and steam was coming out of the steamer.
Yue Ying saw that no one was moving and flashed inside, she opened the bamboo steamer and saw that there was a Eight Treasures Chicken inside, it was just hot enough, she took out a clean piece of cloth from the cage and used it to cook the chicken, afraid that people would see it, she hid in a place with no one around and enjoyed herself.
Just as he ate a few mouthfuls, a thin and cold hand reached over, “Give half to me.”
