Chapter 70

After the episode ended, Zhang Yunniang thought about not going to look for Lanzhi for the time being, so she decided to go home first and talk about it later if there was anything.

She always realizes things too late and says whatever she wants to say. This stubborn person really talks nonsense.

The more excited I was just now, the more worried I am now.

Ahhhhh, she probably didn't know any big secrets, did she? It shouldn't be a big secret that the princess has a lover, right? Her lover also likes a green tea bitch and doesn't like her, so how did she know? Oh my god, seeing the princess secretly crying shouldn't be a big deal, right?

I don’t know which princess it is. If she comes to her senses and holds her accountable for her rudeness, it would be like the sky falling.

As I thought about it, the symptoms of persecution delusion came.

Well, she didn't dare go back to the Jun Mansion directly, for fear of bringing trouble to others. Okay, she went back to her own courtyard first.

First check the wind direction. If there is no movement after two or three days, there should be no problem.

He went straight to his own small courtyard. It had been vacant since he moved to Jun Mansion.

She would still come back from time to time to take care of the plants and tidy up the house regularly.

People can live here at any time.

She wondered whether she needed to send a message to Lanzhi, telling her that she would stay here for two days before leaving.

Later I thought it was unnecessary. They were all busy with their own things. Although they lived in the same house, it was normal for them not to see each other for two or three days. It would feel so strange to specifically say this.

Jun Qingmo? That was even more unnecessary. She was nothing. Anyway, when the agreement was renewed, in order to justify her slacking off, she was specifically given full freedom.

This does not count as her absence from work without reason.

I walked around the house, but there was nothing to do.

I sat on a small stool under the eaves with my hands on my knees. This place used to be bustling, but now no one lives here. It has lost its popularity and looks deserted.

The scenes that happened here kept flashing in my mind.

They are all trivial daily things. At first, it is a peaceful, harmonious and quite heartwarming scene.

Ah, gradually, she recalled the "bad things" she had done in order to help Jun Qingmo recover and regain his confidence.

She couldn't help but recall the scene that happened during the day.

When the blind man regained his sight, the first thing he did was throw away his crutches. Jun Qingmo had been severely tortured by her before. People often say, "I'm doing this for your own good," but the words "for your own good" are quite significant. What we think is good may not necessarily be considered good by the other person.

It doesn't seem like he will care about it now, but it's hard to say whether he will settle the score in the future.

No, it's really time for her to run away.

If you don't pursue her now because you're still thinking about the past love, love will eventually run out. Now is the right time to leave.

It is not advisable to stay here for long. It seems that she has offended the princess today.

Oh my god, she is just a nobody, but how come she got to know so many big shots? It's like she's asking for her life.

No, no, I have to run away. Running away is urgent.

This person has a very unconventional way of thinking. As soon as he makes up his mind, he has already planned in his mind where to go first.

She listed several places she wanted to go in her mind, and finally decided to go to Jiangnan and ask Lanzhi where Shuyuxuan was located. She would first play around the area and relax, and when Lanzhi arrived, she would go to help her with the preparations.

If she could help it.

Lanzhi was handling business upstairs while waiting for someone to come find her. She changed pots of tea and plates of snacks on the table, but no one came.

I felt a little strange.

In the past, every time Zhang Yunniang came, she would say hello to her, chat with her, and then wait for her to go back home together.

Why didn't he come up today?

It's a bit abnormal. I have updated several projects recently. Could it be that I got obsessed with something?

"Let Lan Qi'er send someone to see what Yunniang is doing. If you find her, you don't need to call her over. Just tell her where she is and what she is doing."

"yes."

Now they have cultivated a group of relatives of their own. As long as they enter here, they can easily know the movements of all personnel.

Since all the people coming here are women, including many daughters from wealthy families and official families, there is naturally a need for convenient security.

A large sum of money was invested to build a women's guard team.

The women's guard team exists in name only as guards, but in reality they are spies.

In this world, there are too many women who cannot survive. Let alone money, they will do anything as long as you give them something to eat.

The hardship of practicing martial arts is nothing.

At first I was worried that it would be difficult to organize, but in the end I found that there were so many people willing to do it, and it was not as difficult as I had imagined.

Soon, Lan Qier came back to reply.

"Greetings, Master. After arriving, Miss Zhang spent about an hour admiring the scenery on the front street, then headed towards Chaoxi Tower. After leaving the front street, she stopped for half an hour, not knowing where she was doing what. Then, she returned to the front street, did not linger any longer, and left Shuyu Pavilion directly."

Lan Qi'er was a poor woman they rescued. In order to find a wife for their youngest son, her parents paid ten taels of silver to marry her to a lame old man as his second wife.

She couldn't bear it anymore and ran away secretly. When she jumped into the river, she was rescued by Lanzhi who was passing by. Now, Lanzhi has become her right-hand man.

This child is smart but very soft-hearted.

Later, her family met her outside and wanted to take her back to marry the old man. However, they learned that she was working at Shuyuxuan and was not required to go back, but all her monthly salary had to be handed over to her family.

When her family members became tough, she also became tough.

But facing his mother's appeasement tactics, he cried tearfully about the difficulties at home and said he had no choice but to do such a thing. He cried a little every three days and cried a lot every five days. Today she sent him a bowl of braised pork and tomorrow she sent him some snacks.

Lan Qi'er had never enjoyed such love from his mother since childhood, and gradually became soft-hearted.

He obediently pays his monthly salary back every month, and even when he is sick he doesn’t have money to see a doctor.

Shuyuxuan will not deduct anyone's monthly salary and will pay it out on time and at designated locations. Moreover, as a newly promoted manager, Lan Qier's monthly salary is not low.

Only then did Lanzhi discover the trick.

He didn't say it at first, but when asked again, he told it hesitantly.

In ancient times, filial piety was more important than anything else. Lanzhi, a local, could understand her approach, but she simply did not approve of such unconditional dedication.

Zhang Yunniang was also present at the time. She was so shocked and speechless that it felt like a thorn in her throat.

People should be filial, but filial piety is for humans, not animals. I feel sorry for this silly girl, but I also hate her foolish filial piety.

He scolded the man and asked Lanzhi to deduct all her monthly salary from the money house and keep it as a dead letter, and only give her some loose change for daily expenses. If she couldn't give it out, he would see how she would pay him.

After that, he would scold me every time he saw me, and he would not stop until I cried.

Don’t even mention it. Even if you say something nice, people still refute you. This is pure scolding without giving you a chance to refute. Slowly, they really open your mind to it.

After that, Lan Qi'er was frightened when he saw Zhang Yunniang. Her tormenting skills were truly "cruel".

She had memorized the words by heart after repeating them over and over again. Hey, it was no big deal. It was not easy for her parents to come to her and cry about their misery. It was as if the mouth was not hers, and she automatically retorted with Zhang Yunniang's words one by one.

Now that Shuyuxuan was backing her up, Lan Qier also became more assertive. Faced with her family members who came to ask for money, she was hesitant at first, but fortunately she was obedient and could tell who was really good to her. Following Lanzhi's suggestion, she fought back.

“Why is there a gap in the middle?”

"After passing the end of Front Street, there are basically no tourists, and the Chaoxi Tower is not open to the public either. Therefore, there is a section of the road in the middle that was not manned. It was a minor oversight."

"It's not your fault. I was not thoughtful enough. However, this matter needs to be rectified as soon as possible. You will plan it, and I will review it tomorrow and implement it as soon as possible. Today, I will return home first. You keep an eye on this place."

Lan Qier has always been meticulous in her work. This place is far away from the neighborhood, and except for the people from Shuyuxuan, almost no one comes here. It's not her fault.

This reminded her that she had only been paying attention to the area around Chaoxi Tower, and there were indeed big loopholes here.

"Ms. Zhang usually has no grudges against anyone. When she left, there was nothing unusual on her face. Her steps were hurried. She might have remembered something urgent. Master Xuan, don't worry."

Zhang Yunniang's abnormal reaction made Lanzhi a little worried. She wanted to go back to the mansion to see her and feel at ease after seeing her.

"Well, I'm going back home first."

"The master of the pavilion has a very good relationship with Miss Zhang." On the surface, Zhang Yunniang has nothing to do with Shuyuxuan, but she often comes here. Whenever she comes here, Lanzhi will not avoid her in anything, and will listen to her advice no matter what she says.

"She was the one who accompanied me through the most difficult days."

The woman's inexplicable intuition made Lanzhi uneasy, and she left quickly.

On weekdays, she was always busy with work, leaving early and returning late. Sometimes, when she returned, Zhang Yunniang had already gone to bed. It was not uncommon for them to not see each other for three or five days. Even if it was inconvenient to meet, she would always ask the housekeeper what she had done during the day when she returned home.

Listening to the scattered daily happenings, I often think helplessly in my heart that I am carrying the heavy burden forward, but I have earned a peaceful life for her.

This is a bit of a compliment to herself. With her personality, she will be comfortable in any way.

I do not seek fame, wealth, or excessive gold and silver.

Watch the sunrise in the morning and the afterglow at sunset.

At first, when I gave her silver notes, her smile was so wide, but after she had more than a thousand taels of silver in her hand, she became indifferent.

Ask her if she doesn't like silver anymore?

People say that as long as you have enough money to spend, it’s enough for your retirement.

People in the world can easily forget their original intentions when they are chasing fame and fortune. I have not met many people who are so determined in their original intentions.

She always knew what she really wanted in her heart. From the first time they met, she always talked about retirement and saved money for retirement.

A thousand taels of silver is enough for an ordinary person to live a stable life.

The retirement plan has been achieved, and everything else is up to you.

After that, she was asked to keep the divided silver for safekeeping. Half of it was donated to the army as military expenses in the name of Shuyuxuan, and the other half was kept for her to continue investing.

He lifted the curtain and said to the driver outside, "Go faster."

Zhang Yunniang sat on a small stool, hugged her knees with her hands and rested her head on her knees. This posture was stable and comfortable, perfect for taking a nap.

He hadn't thought about the worry of being held accountable by the princess for long before he thought about whether Jun Qingmo would settle the score later, so he made up his mind to run away, and the plan took shape.

If we talk about heartless people, she is second to none. No one can be called first.

Just lying on his knees, she coaxed herself to sleep.

When she woke up again, huh? Why was she kneeling?
