Chapter 197: Sleep makes you feel better

The Marquis's body is neither black nor white, what's so good about it?

But the princess's body, her skin, her figure, even she, a servant, couldn't help but get excited when she saw it. No, servants didn't dare to get excited easily.

"Princess, is the water temperature suitable? If it's cold, can I add some more hot water for you?"

"That's enough."

Yun Qiao felt weak all over. This guy pinched her waist desperately and even pulled her feet up. Yun Qiao was so embarrassed that she couldn't tell anyone about it.

At this moment, she really didn't want to move.

The water temperature is suitable, not too cold or too hot.

As for the other basin of water, Lily placed it outside after mixing it. She got up and walked out.

Chen Jingyan was still waiting for the maid to bring water inside, but no one came, so he put on his clothes and went out himself.

"Your maidservant is truly devoted to you, but to me, the Marquis, she is quite perfunctory."

Yun Qiao chuckled.

"My maidservant is naturally kind to me. Your guards are also very kind to you. There are some things that they won't tell me a word of."

"My Lord, take the 30,000 taels of silver to Mobei."

Knowing that Chen Jingyan was going to Mobei, Yun Qiao privately looked up a lot of information about Mobei.

That place is nothing but Gobi desert and endless grassland. The land is vast and sparsely populated, with few species. The local residents generally have low cultural level and are considered an uncivilized people.

Local divisions are extremely serious.

There are many tribes, mountain bandits, and horse bandits.

If Chen Jingyan went there, it would not be easy to govern Mobei. She originally wanted to raid Xu Po's house so that she could give the money to Chen Jingyan.

If Mrs. Xu's family had little money, she would think of buying some for herself.

When she married Chen Jingyan, she almost got half of Chen Jingyan's property.

Before she married into the Marquis's Mansion, Chen Jingyan transferred all the properties under his name to hers. With the addition of rewards from the palace, Yun Qiao is not short of money now.

That's why she wanted to help Chen Jingyan.

Chen Jingyan quickly put on his clothes and called the maid to bring out the water. He did not leave, but went straight to the bed and held Yun Qiao, who was still naked, in his arms.

"I really want to take you away."

"Just come with me to Mobei," said Chen Jingyan.

His slightly rough face rubbed against hers, and Yun Qiao moved away with some disgust.

"Don't do this to me. You have thick skin and it will be very uncomfortable."

"Really? I saw you were really comfortable just now, hugging my head and saying you liked it..."

Yun Qiao turned away and stopped looking at him.

Then he said, "I'm talking to you seriously, but you're talking dirty. Aren't you ashamed?"

Chen Jingyan laughed muffledly.

"This money is a loan from me, Madam. I will return it to you when I make money in the future."

It seems that he is indeed short of money.

Not only was he short of money, he was also short of a lot of medicinal herbs.

There is an urgent need for medicinal materials in Mobei.

The people sent by Chen Jingyan also made inquiries. He wanted to prepare a few carts of medicinal materials before leaving Kyoto for Mobei to be on the safe side.

He had secretly asked someone to prepare all this, but he didn't tell Yun Qiao because he was afraid that she would worry about him going to Mobei.

But Yunqiao could hear his thoughts, so she naturally thought of it.

If she didn't know, she would just ignore it. But now that she knows, she will definitely take care of it.

He didn't touch her again, but just pressed her down and teased her for a while. When they heard a sound outside the door, they both got up.

"Miss, please wait a moment. The princess is resting." Jasmine advised in a low voice, worried that they would talk too loudly and disturb the two people in the room.

Outsiders don’t know what the princess and the marquis do in the house, but they, as maids, know it best.

They dared not disturb their masters' good time.

"It's already this late, and she's still sleeping. I came in the morning, and you said the princess was sleeping. I came in the afternoon, and you still said she was sleeping. Are you lying to me?"

"I'm going out."

Maidong shouted a few words outside.

She swore that she had just shouted a few words when she looked up and saw her brother's face, as dark as Bao Gong, appear in front of her.

"Well, I just want to say something to the princess."

Chen Jingyan hummed, "Your sister-in-law is not feeling well and stayed in bed a little longer today."

"It's okay, my sister-in-law's health is in danger."

"What do you want to see your sister-in-law about?" Chen Jingyan asked.

Mai Dong answered honestly, "My adoptive mother passed away. I'm going out for a while and will be back later."

"I'll have someone accompany you. Last time you were locked in a room with a strange man in the inn, it had a bad impact on you and the Marquis' Mansion. You should be more cautious in the future."

Maidong hated listening to his preaching the most.

Although he is her brother, he is not her parent who gave birth to her and raised her. What qualifications does he have to lecture her?

What's more, what she hates most is being lectured.

On the surface, she was respectful and obedient, but she was actually very active in her mind.

Even before Yun Qiao came out, she could guess what Mai Dong was thinking of her and what he said badly about Chen Jingyan.

"Sister Maidong..."

Yun Qiao lifted the windshield curtain and walked out.

Maidong looked at the princess who was always energetic every day, but today, she seemed even more beautiful.

It turns out that sleeping makes people feel refreshed.

But she also slept a lot, and was still not as energetic as her princess sister-in-law.

"Hello, sister-in-law." Maidong called out obediently.

In the carriage on the way back that day, the princess talked to her a lot, all of which were daily sharings, but she felt that this princess sister-in-law could see into her heart, and what she said just soothed her anxious heart.

Only then would Maidong become obedient involuntarily in front of Yunqiao.

Yun Qiao nodded and said to Mai Dong, "I heard everything you just said. Since it's a matter concerning your adoptive mother, go and take care of it. Do you need me to send someone with you?"

"No, I can go by myself."

"Okay, I'll ask the driver to take it there."

If Maidong wanted to refuse, she could go by herself, but she still didn't say no and nodded.

Yun Qiao asked an old maid to follow her.

On the night Yun Qiao went to pick up Mai Dong, Chen Jingyan told her about Mai Dong's past.

Maidong's foster mother is a piece of shit.

So Yun Qiao didn't mention it. She helped deal with the funeral of Maidong's adoptive mother.

He just asked Maidong, but he needed help, and didn't say he wanted to help with the funeral.

"Let her handle it herself. Maidong is actually a very independent girl. Once this matter is handled, she can stay in the Marquis' Mansion with peace of mind."

Chen Jingyan nodded, "Madam, please pay more attention to her marriage."

"Don't worry, my lord."

As for Maidong's marriage, since Chen Jingyan is going to Mobei and the old lady is in poor health, it can only be left to her.

It’s also a big headache.

When Maidong left the courtyard and walked into the alley, several of her little brothers came.

Wang Dawei and Li Ergou are Maidong's best friends, and the others were called in to help. Among them was a guy called Leech, who also followed Wang Dawei and the others in calling Maidong the "big sister."

"Big sister, we..."

"Don't call us Big Sister, call us Sister Maizi. If people hear us, they'll think we're just street thugs."

"Didn't I give you some money before? What did you do with it? Where are the things I asked you to buy? Look at the brothers who follow you, what are they wearing?"

It looks tattered, and it's shameful to say that it's her Maidong brothers.

When she was first recognized, Mai Dong asked Chen Jingyan for a lot of money, but she didn't spend it on herself. Instead, she gave it to Wang Dawei, which was a full three hundred taels.

Wang Dawei stood up and said, "Sister Maizi, it's not that I didn't buy it, it's that no one would do it even if we did. Also, our brothers' families are all very poor and have debts. I used the money to pay off our debts, and then distributed the rest to everyone."

Li Ergou interrupted and said, "Big sister, don't blame Dawei. It was us brothers who thought you wouldn't come back and thought it was your severance pay."

Maidong had been staying in the Marquis' Mansion for a while and had forgotten that everyone came from a poor family and their families owed foreign debts, especially those with high interest rates.

"Forget it, the money is spent."

"I'll bring you some next time I come."

The leech, who had been silent the entire time, said, "Sister Maizi, we can't take your money. We are all your supporters, not a burden to you. If you keep giving money to us, your family will definitely look down on us, and they will also look down on you..."

Maidong didn't expect that these brothers cared so much about her.

"Okay, I'm not afraid of anything. They owe me money anyway, so I'll give it to you. Just take it. Why are you talking so much?"

Maidong didn't say anything sensational.

She was forced to go out to make a living, and it was by risking her life that she managed to reach the position of the big sister.

At first she was the one being bullied, but later she fought with others desperately, her body covered in blood, but her eyes were still fierce.

Wang Dawei fought with Maidong, and he won, but he was defeated by Maidong.

From then on, he took the initiative to protect Maidong.

Later on, whatever Maidong got would be shared with them...

They stole and robbed on the streets and got along together.

Now Maidong has transformed into the daughter of a marquis.

Now that she has money, she will naturally not forget her old good friend.

Wang Dawei and several others helped to deal with the funeral arrangements for his foster mother.

Maidong let his brothers who had no place to live live in that dilapidated house.

After taking care of the funeral in half a day, she took a group of people to a restaurant for a meal.

Then, he gave the ten taels of silver that was left on him to Wang Dawei and asked him to distribute it to everyone.

After dealing with these things, Maidong wanted to go back to the villa directly.

Unexpectedly, I met my enemy. He is a blind man, why is he wandering around here?

Seeing that the man was about to step into a puddle, Maidong quickly stepped forward and said, "There's a puddle, don't move."
