Chapter 482 Helper

After Qingxing and Baicha reached an agreement, they waited for the rain to stop and then returned to their residence together.

"I knew Qingxing was smart and wouldn't get wet, so why are you all still soaked?"

Lin Yuesha asked Longjing to take a large cloth, and the two of them quickly went back to their room to wash up. In the kitchen, Liu Quan's wife had already made ginger soup.

"Miss, this servant..."

White tea cannot disguise itself; its color is unpredictable.

"Didn't you see Lord Xu?"

Seeing that Bai Cha was hesitant and seemed to have something to say, Lin Yuesha assumed that she hadn't accomplished her task.

"This servant met with Lord Xu, and Lord Xu agreed."

Qingxing quickly chimed in, giving Baicha a meaningful look. "Miss has been exhausted after two days of work. She needs to catch up on sleep this rainy night."

"But I think something's wrong with Bai Cha. Could it be that you were bullied by the Five Cities Garrison?"

The old couple from the Zhuang family are still talking about the Five Cities Military Command today. They say that their reputation is really not good. No matter how high-ranking an official is in the capital, they don't give them any face.

"No, this servant...this servant encountered thick powder!"

Bai Cha promised Qing Xing that she would report to her mistress first thing tomorrow morning. She couldn't hide it from her mistress, so she had no choice but to confess that she had met Hou Fen and been dumped.

“Miss, you taught me to be magnanimous, but I can’t be magnanimous. That big-footed woman with thick powder has been teasing me repeatedly, clearly thinking I’m an honest person who’s easy to bully…”

Bai Cha felt a surge of anger when she mentioned Hou Fen, determined to make sure she never saw Hou Fen again!

"Perhaps it's because Sister Ziyuan has come to the capital."

Lin Yuesha didn't say much. Ziyuan was very well-informed, and the thick-powdered maidservant by her side was clearly being groomed as a confidante; she was no ordinary person.

"Bai Cha, next time I see Sister Zi Yuan, I'll tell her on your behalf."

The eye-rolling incident is over, but what the thick-fans did afterwards was indeed a bit excessive. If you look down on white tea, then don't get involved, but playing with people is wrong.

Lin Yuesha had no idea what was happening in the capital, and she slept soundly again once more.

"Today, Qiuyue's troupe is leaving the capital. Their official boat will return to Cangzhou this evening. Young Master Qiuyue has been kind to me, so I'm going to see them off."

Lin Yuesha got up early and prepared a lot of food, all of which could be eaten on the official ship. Knowing that Xiao Qiuyue needed to protect her voice, she specially bought some dried sea buckthorn fruit, brewed it into a herbal tea, and made it to cool everyone down.

These things are worthless, not as valuable as Xiao Qiuyue's help, but they represent her good intentions.

Qingxing seized the opportunity. When the food was ready and the sun was high in the sky, she took Baicha to the kitchen and told her about the news she had received the day before.

You must have misheard me.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yuesha was not frightened at all, but instead did not believe it and continued to work on her tasks.

“Miss, it was the people from the Five Cities Garrison and Lord Xu who said it. I heard it clearly from the side.”

Qingxing took it upon herself to conceal the truth. First, she apologized to Lin Yuesha, and then said, "This morning, Longjing went to the Yan family to inquire about information. Although the servants of the Yan family were tight-lipped, Longjing still managed to find out what was going on."

It is said that Doctor Yan appeared at a place where a pregnant woman was buried, so she was arrested by the people guarding the Five Cities Garrison and is now in prison.

The Five Cities Military Command has always been fond of using torture to extract confessions, which is very disadvantageous for Doctor Yan.

"Qingxing, you're quite good at hiding things."

Lin Yuesha's face turned cold. She knew that Qingxing and Qi'er were not her maids but the pockmarked man's subordinates, and that the two of them were lurking around her. She could ignore what they were doing, but since it involved her good sister, she was very dissatisfied that they had delayed telling her for a whole day.

"Miss, Sister Qingxing said that you should get a good night's sleep."

Bai Cha was timid, and now she regrets it a little; the young lady wasn't as fragile as she had imagined.

"This will not be repeated."

Arguing with Qingxing was pointless, so Lin Yuesha stopped wasting her breath and realized the reality: if she didn't scheme, she could only watch helplessly as her best friend got into trouble.

The Yan family has its own ways, and she cannot stand idly by.

"Qingxing, do you know where the Prince Luo's Mansion is? Let's go, let's go straight there."

After washing up, Lin Yuesha changed into her best dress and interacted with the servants of the Prince's mansion. Those people were used to treating people differently based on their appearance, and she was looked down upon if she wasn't dressed well.

Upon arriving at the back gate of the Prince Luo's mansion, Lin Yuesha discovered a carriage lurking in a corner.

"You country bumpkin, is that you?"

Qin Nanyan came to see Prince Luo, having heard that his cousin had been found dead in the wilderness. She wanted to gain some favor with Prince Luo.

Unexpectedly, when a servant was sent to inform the prince, the servant simply replied that the prince was very busy and would not receive guests.

Being turned away like this made Qin Nanyan very embarrassed, but she didn't want to leave, so she decided to try her luck at the back door first. If Prince Luo came out, the two of them would be able to meet.

"Oh, Miss Qin."

No matter how unruly the other party is, you must always follow the rules.

Lin Yuesha kept Fang Mama's teachings in mind, and her dignified demeanor was even more refined than that of a lady from a prominent family.

Anyone can put on airs and act high and mighty.

"Do you know where this is? It's not a place for a country bumpkin like you."

Qin Nanyan was furious when she saw Lin Yuesha and was about to say something sarcastic when Lin Yuesha retorted, "Miss Qin, I can read and write, so you don't need to test me. Besides, I came here to see Prince Luo."

Qin Nanyan was turned away, and she wasn't much better off. Lin Yuesha had only come with a try-it-out attitude.

"What a joke! You insulted the Prince of Luo, saying he wrote letters under the city gate for twenty coins each..."

Qin Nanyan remembered the joke Lin Yuesha made last time. However, when she learned that her father had fallen from his horse, she was in a hurry to return to the manor. Unexpectedly, the two met again just a few days later.

"You're talking about Prince Luo behind his back, do you think he'll want to listen?"

Admittedly, Lin Yuesha made a fool of herself, but since it concerns Prince Luo, wouldn't he also lose face if someone brought up something that was ridiculed? A smart person would avoid talking about it. It's clear that Qin Nanyan is a brainless fool who keeps attacking others, thinking she can benefit from it.

Qin Nanyan shut up. Although she disliked country bumpkins, the truth was indeed true.

"Please inform them that I am an assistant to the Prince of Luo."

To meet the Prince of Luo, Lin Yuesha raised her own status. If she hadn't boasted, these servants would have been arrogant and wouldn't have even given her a second glance.

"helper?"

The servants of the Prince's mansion originally wanted to send Lin Yuesha away, guessing that she was just like Miss Qin, infatuated with Prince Luo and shamelessly came to the door. They had sent away countless people this month.

This young lady's suggestion was different, and somewhat original.

"Go in and inform the prince, and he will know."

Lin Yuesha pointed at the troublemaker among them and said angrily, "Why aren't you going yet? If you delay the prince's important business, can you, a mere servant, take responsibility?"
