Chapter 15: Dog Hole
When Su Nuobai returned to the room, Feng Zhi had already returned.
She smelled the aroma of food in the room: "Did you buy me food?"
Feng Zhi nodded: "I was afraid you were hungry, so I bought some for you to eat first."
"Wow! Feng Zhi, you are so thoughtful." Su Nuobai happily sat on the stool, opened a bag of pastries and started eating.
She casually threw the jade pendant to Feng Zhi: "Just wear this from now on."
Feng Zhi reached out and took the jade pendant, and put it on without saying a word: "I put the thing you want in the next room."
Su Nuobai handed him a piece of cake and said, "Try it, it tastes pretty good."
Feng Zhi was not hungry originally, but seeing her eating so happily, he seemed to be a little hungry too, so he reached out and took it and started eating.
The atmosphere in the Su Mansion was quite low today. No one dared to speak and walked with their heads down.
Su Nuobai grabbed Feng Zhi and went to the next room to make paper figures.
Feng Zhi looked at the paper figures one by one, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "You made so many paper figures, aren't you afraid of being seen by others?"
"You see it, then you see it. I'm a concubine's daughter with no monthly salary and no favor. Can't I find a way to make money for myself?" Su Nuobai tilted her head and looked at him.
Feng Zhi looked at the creepy little paper figurine with a headache: "This business is quite special."
Su Nuobai made these paper figures not to make money from them, but to use them as substitutes.
If people knew that she had sneaked out, they would probably cause trouble for her aunt.
It is better to have less trouble than more. Now is not the time to turn against the Su family. I still need to absorb this luck for a long time.
At noon, the cooks had lunch delivered, which was three times the amount they had at noon, but it made them exhausted.
Originally, only one portion was needed, but now, in addition to Miss Seven, one more portion has to be made for each of the masters in the mansion.
Moreover, the courtyard of Jinxiu Court had been closed for a long time, and she didn't dare to get close to it.
Su Nuobai looked at the food piled up on the table, which made her very satisfied.
If her guess was correct, this kind of days would not last long, and Cai would soon come up with a solution.
If she wanted to get enough food again, she had to go out and find a way.
Feng Zhi wasn't surprised to see star trails on the roof at night. "Why don't you go back and report?"
Xinggui was not in a hurry and sat down next to him: "I just don't understand something."
"I won't tell you anything." Feng Zhi said and lay down on the roof.
"No! Just tell me one thing, Miss Su Qi, how did you know those children belong to Butler Su." Xinggui looked at him with curiosity.
Feng Zhi turned around, rested his head on his arms and didn't intend to answer any of his questions.
When Xinggui saw him like this, he knew that he would not get the answer, so he had no choice but to go back and report.
Lu Heyu heard what he said today and asked, "So Minister Su didn't show any power to Miss Su Qi today?"
"Not only did he not give her anything, he also made her leave so quickly." Xinggui looked at him in confusion: "Master, how do you think Miss Su Qi knew about this?"
"And after Miss Su Qi left, Butler Su, who had originally refused to acknowledge the matter, spilled the beans and told the whole story."
"Oh?" When Lu Heyu heard this, he remembered the story of Wang Er and his wife in the prison.
He rubbed his fingers unconsciously again: How many secrets does this person have?
Everyone thought that she, an unfavored illegitimate daughter, would be punished after returning to the Su family, but who would have thought that she not only lived a good life, but also caused chaos in the Su family.
When Xinggui saw his master like this, he knew that he was probably becoming more and more interested in Miss Su Qi.
But to be honest, my master has been very smart since he was a child, and it seems that there is nothing that interests him except Miss Su Qi.
But he looked at Lu Heyu with some discomfort, knowing that he would not live long.
"Master, are you still following?"
"Follow me. Tomorrow morning at the court, I'm afraid that the memorials impeaching Minister Su for his poor family management will pile up on your Majesty's desk." Lu Heyu seemed to be talking to Xinggui, but also seemed to be talking to himself.
Xinggui didn't quite understand, so he bowed and left the study.
As soon as he left the study, he saw a few people waiting for him: "Xinggui, I heard that you had a wonderful time these past two days. Tell us about it."
After saying that, before he could react, someone grabbed his neck and dragged him aside.
Su Nuobai looked at the breakfast in the morning and found that the portion was obviously smaller than yesterday.
Feng Zhi walked up to her and whispered, "Many masters in the mansion died of illness last night."
Su Nuobai smiled faintly and finished breakfast with Aunt Luo while chatting and laughing.
Back in the yard, she found two paper figures she had made yesterday and dropped a drop of blood on them.
Feng Zhi then dropped another drop of blood on another paper figure.
She made hand gestures and two streams of spiritual power hit the two paper figures.
I only saw the two paper figures slowly changing into the appearance, expression, and facial features of the two people.
Feng Zhi poked his paper figurine in surprise and found that its soft touch was exactly the same as his skin.
Su Nuobai changed into men's clothes and asked Feng Zhi to help her put on makeup.
Feng Zhi took out the disguise tools and put on makeup for her.
Su Nuobai looked at the handsome young man in the mirror with a look of dissatisfaction: "This won't work, let's change it to an old man."
"Ah?" Feng Zhi looked at her in confusion.
"A man without any beard on his face cannot be trusted. We are here to tell fortunes for others, and probably no one will believe me if I look like this." Su Nuobai said matter-of-factly.
Feng Zhi thought about it and it was true. The fortune teller was not old. If he was too young, it would not be very effective.
He picked up the tools and started drawing her again. After a while, she looked like a middle-aged man, with her mustache moving with the expression on her face.
It looks kind of funny and cute.
Feng Zhi watched her prepare to go out: "Don't you want to prepare anything else?"
Su Nuobai thought about it and wondered if fortune-telling should be used as a cover here, but there was no suitable fabric in the house.
"I'll go out and buy some cloth to make a cover later."
Feng Zhi didn't say anything: "Master, how are you going to get out?"
Su Nuobai thought about it and decided that if he flew out, he was afraid of being seen by others, and going through the back door would be even worse.
She suddenly remembered that when she was free yesterday, she found a dog hole in the yard, which could be used to avoid people.
"Come on, let me take you through a shortcut."
Feng Zhi followed her to the wall and looked at the dog hole above, feeling a bit speechless: "Do we really want to get out from here?"
"Or do you have a better idea?" Su Nuobai said without paying any attention to him and went into the dog hole first.
As a result, as soon as she crawled out of the dog hole, she saw a pair of official boots facing her.
Su Nuobai looked up and saw the same man in the red official uniform, with the same face, looking at her with a half-smile.
She was stunned for a moment. Why was this guy here?
Wait, I’ve changed my appearance, he definitely won’t recognize me, thinking of this, I wanted to retreat back to the dog hole!
