Chapter 339: Threatening at the Door
Yu Shengsheng tidied up the study and didn’t think about anything else.
This bowl of noodles is indeed a heavy gift in return. It would be a bit too much to just accept it like that. What should I give in return?
She frowned and thought hard. Jin Baobao said beside her, "Miss, the flowers embroidered by Madam Zhou are very beautiful. She said she wanted to make you a cloak to wear outside in winter. It's called..."
"Oh, put on the spring flowers."
Yu Shengsheng's eyes lit up, got it.
"Baobao, you are such a clever little girl," Yu Shengsheng handed the snacks on the table to her, "Eat quickly."
Golden Leopard held the plate of snacks, confused and blinking.
In the blink of an eye, Yu Shengsheng had gone to find Nanny Zhou to watch her embroider.
After watching for a while, I felt that I had overestimated myself.
Since I can’t embroider a cloak, I’ll just embroider something small.
Belt? No, that's too complicated, and it's not nice to give a belt as a gift.
What else?
After much thought, the only option is a handkerchief.
Find two pieces of high-quality cloth, cut them into the appropriate size, and spend a long time practicing.
The plum blossoms are nice, cool and beautiful;
No, it's too complicated.
Bamboo is good, with a noble temperament;
No, it's too difficult to embroider.
…
After thinking about it, I still didn’t realize that it was getting dark again.
Yu Shengsheng called the Xu brothers over, whispered a few words to them, and the two of them slipped out.
The dinner was simple. Before the meal, the two brothers came back and nodded to Yu Shengsheng.
Yu Shengsheng said, "After dinner, Baobao will stay, and Luhu will go out with me."
When I reached the entrance of the alley, it was not too dark. Lanterns were hung in front of each house. I could also hear the sounds of reading and reciting poetry, as well as the sounds of stringed instruments, coming from the doors.
Yu Shengsheng chuckled silently. If everything went well for Qi Mubai, he would probably be like them, talking big and enjoying the compliments from others.
She resented him for giving up on her, but it wasn't hatred. She blamed herself for being blind and stupid.
But he should never have had any evil intentions towards Grandma Wu.
From then on, I hated it, hated it to the core.
When they reached the house at the end of the alley, Lu Hu gently pushed open the door.
Sure enough, the door was ajar.
Yu Shengsheng went in. The yard was silent. She walked to the main yard and glanced at the wing room. The door was closed and there was no sound inside - in fact, there were five people locked in this room.
She withdrew her gaze, walked into the main room, sat down on the main seat, and did not light a lamp.
Green Lake closed the door gently.
Doctor Cui was in a good mood today. He had a bottle of wine, two pounds of beef and a roast chicken in his hand, ready to have a few drinks.
He had a very high status in the drugstore and should have been the most successful one, but here came a man named Liu who claimed that his grandfather had been an imperial physician and competed with him everywhere.
However, someone sent a message today saying that the frightened horse was injured and would not be able to come for several days.
Doctor Cui was happy and thought to himself why he didn't fall to death. It would be better if he fell to death, because he would still be the best.
As I was walking forward, I suddenly felt like there was someone behind me. I stopped and looked, but there was no one.
Perhaps he was dazzled, so he didn't care and walked through the alley and into the house.
He rented the house, which was relatively safe. Most of the people here were from other places and no one checked it carefully.
"I'm back."
He shouted loudly, then walked in while humming a little tune.
In addition to his lover, there were two servants in the house, a maid and a woman.
Usually when he comes, he comes out to say hello and greet everyone when he hears any noise.
There was no movement today, but he was in a good mood and didn't pay any attention to it as he hummed a tune and soon reached the corridor of the main house.
I pushed the door open and entered the room. The moon shone into the room and there was a hazy figure sitting there.
He laughed, "Why don't you turn on the light? Want to scare me?"
He opened his arms and rushed forward. The lights came on at this moment, illuminating the young and stunning face.
Doctor Cui was stunned, his movements stopped, and his smile froze.
"you……"
Yu Shengsheng placed her hands on her knees, her beautiful eyes were cold and sharp, like thousands of needles: "Why? Do you know me?"
Doctor Cui's Adam's apple slid, and he laughed dryly: "I don't know him. I have never seen him before."
From his instant reaction just now, Yu Shengsheng was certain that he knew her.
Yu Shengsheng was sure that she had never seen Dr. Cui for medical treatment. So, how did Dr. Cui know her?
No need to ask, it must be through Su Zhiyi.
"I wonder why the young lady is visiting at this time? Are you here to see a doctor?" Doctor Cui put down the things in his hand, "It's not that I don't want to see you, but it's late and it's inconvenient. Why don't you go to Chunshengtang tomorrow..."
Yu Shengsheng asked back, "Why? You pick a time to see a patient? You don't see a patient at night? The patient is dying, and you still say tomorrow?"
Doctor Cui choked: "That's not the way it should be..."
"Doctor Cui, this princess came to see you not to play dumb or listen to your pretense of confusion."
Lord Cui was slightly surprised: "Princess? You are actually a princess? I wonder which one you are..."
Before he could finish his words, Lu Hu stepped forward and slapped him twice.
"My little sister said that she is not here to listen to your pretending to be confused, but you are still pretending."
Doctor Cui was also annoyed now: "Why are you hitting me? I'm a famous doctor, why don't you ask around, I..."
"I asked around," Yu Shengsheng said, with a half-smile, "Doctor Cui is a big shot in the shop, and he is also very successful in the love field, which makes people envious."
"I just don't know what the Minister of Revenue would think if he knew about your house?"
Yu Shengsheng's voice was gentle, even with a hint of smile, but it made Doctor Cui feel as if struck by lightning, and his face changed color.
"You...what do you mean?"
"It means exactly what it says," Yu Shengsheng said frankly, "Who do you keep in this house and who do you have secret meetings with? Do you need me to tell you?"
Doctor Cui's eyes widened and he stepped back subconsciously, pretending to escape.
Yu Shengsheng raised her hand and lightly brushed the earring beside her ear: "Doctor Cui, if I were you, I would not run away. As the saying goes, you can run away from the monk but not the temple."
"If you leave from here, I will go to your house to find you."
"You should know that if I come here to find you, there is still room for things to turn around. If we were in another place, it would be hard to say."
Doctor Cui was breathing rapidly, his eyes darting back and forth between her and Lu Hu, his eyes moving this way and that as if he was weighing the options.
Lu Hu had a hidden weapon in his hand, and if he dared to make any unusual movement, he would be killed on the spot.
Of course, death is impossible.
Life is worse than death, that’s for sure.
Doctor Cui's mind raced a hundred and eighty times. He was here to have a secret meeting with the concubine of the Minister of Revenue.
There are a few days every month. It’s nothing else, and we’ve never thought about getting married. We just want to be happy together.
But he also knew that this matter must not be known to anyone else, let alone the Minister of Revenue.
He thought for a moment, then relaxed his breath: "What does the princess want to know?"
Yu Shengsheng was not surprised and smiled slightly.
"About you and Su Zhiyi. Everything."
Outside the courtyard, in the dark.
One person listened attentively, and was slightly startled when he heard this.
I never expected that following Doctor Cui, I would meet unexpected people here.
However, she is too brave!
