"Mother knows!" Aunt Mei said with a frown.
Aunt Mei took Tang Chuying back to Meixiangyuan, and Tang Chuying began to cry.
"Mom, I just want to take some jewelry and clothes. Isn't the Qiqiao Festival coming soon?"
"Who knows why Tang Chuyao's dowry disappeared?"
Aunt Mei pondered, "This matter is also your fault!"
"Mother, where did Tang Chuyao's dowry go?"
"She only has a maidservant and a sickly old nanny by her side. It's impossible for her to move away so much dowry!"
Tang Chuying suddenly thought of something and asked quickly, "Could it be that Xiaoyu maid?"
Aunt Mei shook her head, "Impossible!"
"That girl seems to know some basic skills, but she can't move so much dowry in such a short time!"
Aunt Mei had a guess, but she didn't tell Tang Chuying, so she comforted her, "Go back and rest first! I'll think of a solution!"
Tang Chuying went back unwillingly...
That night, Wen Yongbo's family sometimes stayed awake and sometimes slept soundly.
In the bamboo forest, Huang Xiaoyu and Tang Chuyao stood on the tops of two bamboo trees respectively, both holding swords. A breeze blew, lifting a strand of Tang Chuyao's hair. With a flash of sword light, Tang Chuyao blocked Huang Xiaoyu's oncoming sword.
The collision of swords made a crisp sound. Huang Xiaoyu moved his feet and instantly flashed behind Tang Chuyao. Before Huang Xiaoyu could make the next move, he found that Tang Chuyao had already flown several trees away.
Huang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Junior sister, your Qinggong is becoming more and more sophisticated!"
"That's fine, but just run!"
Being teased by Huang Xiaoyu, Tang Chuyao frowned and pouted and said, "Senior sister always makes fun of me!"
Huang Xiaoyu came to Tang Chuyao in an instant, reached out to touch the top of her head, and took her hand, "Go back!"
When she came back yesterday, she heard Du Juan tell her that Tang Chuyao's mother was poisoned to death. She also knew that Tang Chuyao looked relaxed on the surface but was actually very sad.
She even fainted from crying, and I heard she had a high fever. Now, holding Tang Chuyao's hand, she could still feel that her body temperature was abnormal.
Huang Xiaoyu didn’t know how to comfort her junior sister, because she also grew up without a father or a mother. Maybe she was more emotionally dull and didn’t desire family affection that much.
I just want to be a good sister and take good care of my junior sister...
As soon as they returned to Luoying Pavilion on the second day, Huang Xiaoyu walked towards the kitchen. Then Yinghe's voice came, "Miss Huang, there are only servants in the kitchen. You go and have a rest."
"Aunt Yinghe, I want to make chicken soup for my junior sister. It won't blow up the kitchen. Please wait."
Ying He was a little hesitant, and after a while she asked Huang Xiaoyu to swear that he would not use his internal force, nor would he lose his temper in the kitchen and vent his anger on pots and pans just because the meal was not cooked well.
Huang Xiaoyu did as he was told.
Ying He was a little surprised. She didn't expect Huang Xiaoyu to be so cooperative and restrain his temper...
"Ah~~" A woman's sharp scream was heard from Ziying Pavilion.
"My face!!" Tang Chuying looked at her own face in the bronze mirror and screamed.
Her originally clean face was now covered with small red spots, which were very painful to touch.
Soon, Bixiang brought the court doctor Zhang Hong in. Zhang Hong examined her for a long time but could not find any problems.
So he said, "The Second Miss looks like she is allergic to something."
"Allergy?" Tang Chuying looked at Zhang Hong anxiously and asked, "Is there any way to get rid of these little red spots?"
Zhang Hong shook his head and said, "Second Miss, please forgive me for my incompetence."
Tang Chuying shouted at Zhang Hong in disappointment, "You useless thing!"
"Get out of here, Miss 녤!"
Zhang Hong's eyes flashed with disdain, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he carried the medicine box and left...
Aunt Mei is in Rongjin Hall, and I already know that Tang Chuyao's dowry was stolen last night.
She looked at Aunt Mei with her cloudy eyes for a long time, and said with some disgust, "Xiao'e, you are confused!"
"If the girl really reports this to the police, what will you do?"
Aunt Mei looked up at the old man in surprise, "Aunt, what do you mean?"
"Do you think Xiao'e embezzled the dowry?"
The old man glanced at her coldly, "Are you still talking?"
"The household items in this house are in your hands! Which room in the house do you not have the key to?"
"The thief cries thief! You are so calculating!"
Aunt Mei has been irritable these past few days, and now she is even more displeased when she hears what the old man said, "The old man slanders me like this, do you have any evidence?"
"Slander? What did I say wrong?" The old man waved his hand towards Aunt Mei, "I don't want to meddle in your business!"
"You can see what the current situation of Rong Jintang is like. I can't help you at all!"
Aunt Mei's eyes widened. Was the old lady asking her to fill it herself?
When we were sharing Chi Ran's dowry together, I didn't see her missing a single cent. Now that something happened, I threw it to her again!
She knew that the old man had a small treasury where he hid these things. The revenue from several shops in Chi Ran's dowry should be very generous!
The wound on Aunt Mei's forehead was aching slightly, reminding her of the humiliation she suffered in Rong Jintang yesterday!
Since this old man doesn't care about our old relationship, don't blame her for being rude!
Aunt Mei got up and left. I had a severe headache, so I called Aunt Zhao to help her lie down on the bed...
Tang Chuyao has already made a mask according to the method provided by the system. The mask is as thin as a cicada's wing and feels soft and elastic.
"Night Rain!"
In the blink of an eye, Ye Yu appeared in front of Tang Chuyao. He was very surprised to see the mask behind Tang Chuyao's face, and his eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Tang Chuyao!
During these days of protection, she found that Tang Chuyao was not only smart, but also very hardworking.
She watched her sword practice from afar every morning, witnessing her progress!
Moreover, she is proficient in medicine and poison, and now she can also disguise herself!
This is simply amazing!
The ugly girl despised by everyone in the capital turned out to be a beautiful and extraordinary woman!
"Miss, what do you want?" Ye Yu asked respectfully.
"Go and let her spread the news about Tang Chuying and Gu Huaifeng!"
Ye Yu obeyed the order and left...
For the next three days, the story of the affair between Tang Chuying, the second daughter of the Wenyong Earl's mansion, and Gu Huaifeng spread all over the capital.
Tang Chuyao was preparing the medicine powder when Du Juan came in excitedly and said, "Miss, the whole capital is talking about Tang Chuying and Gu Huaifeng!"
"The storytellers in the teahouse are all talking about this!"
"There are also paintings. Miss, would you like to see them?"
Du Juan kept chattering, and Tang Chuyao laughed, "Du Juan, Miss, it's you who wants to see it!"
After saying this, Tang Chuyao suddenly realized that Du Juan was three years older than herself, already nineteen years old, and a girl of this age would have been married and had children long ago!
"Du Juan, if you are worthy of marriage, Miss will marry you off! She will also prepare a generous dowry for you!"
