Chapter 97: Make the Princess Happy
"My cousin said that if I tell Madam this, she will know what it means."
Zhou Yunshu clenched the cup in her hand. In one sentence, there were two pieces of bad news.
Zhou Yunjia's disappearance was already a headache, but Cao Zhengxing actually came to the capital of Luzhou.
Zhou Yunshu was feeling depressed, but she smiled as she took out a two-liang piece of silver from her purse and handed it to the little maid in front of her. "I'll buy you some candy to sweeten your mouth. Thank you for making such a trip."
The little maidservant smiled widely as she held the change. In fact, her cousin had already given her two taels of silver when she came out. She didn't expect that she could get a reward for delivering a message. This was much more than her monthly salary.
“It’s not hard!”
The little maid took out a sachet from her bosom and said, "Madam, this is a gift from your cousin."
After Zhou Yunshu took the sachet, the maid continued, "I came out with Madam Feng from the kitchen to do some shopping. It's getting late, so I should leave. Otherwise, Madam Feng will scold me if she can't find anyone."
"Well, go ahead."
After the little maid left, Zhou Yunshu opened the sachet given to her by Du Huairou, and saw a note inside. After Zhou Yunshu opened it and saw the contents inside, a smile finally appeared on her face.
Finally, something went well.
Zhou Yunshu was preparing to go out, and before leaving, she went to Wu Yue and Li Jialan's rooms first.
When Zhou Yunshu went there, all five children were sitting on the bed. Some were playing with the Nine Rings game, some were playing with the Luban lock, and of course some were reading.
Wu Yue and Li Jialan saw Zhou Yunshu come in and said with a smile: "Your sister-in-law just made you a bowl of lotus egg custard, eat it quickly."
Zhou Yunshu sat next to Li Jialan, thanked Fang Huiwen, picked up the bowl of egg custard and ate it bit by bit.
"Is there something you want to say?"
Li Jialan felt a little confused when she saw Zhou Yunshu sitting there without saying anything after finishing her meal.
Zhou Yunshu originally wanted to say it, but then thought about it and gave up.
The person has not been found, and Cao Zhengxing is here again. Talking to them now will do nothing but make them more worried and scared.
Rather than letting them lose their composure, it is better to know nothing.
Zhou Yunshu never forgot how her mother treated Cao Zhengxing like a monster.
"The city has been a bit chaotic lately, so you should stay in the yard for the next few days. If you really want to go out, tell me in advance."
Li Jialan felt a little uneasy when she saw that her daughter was looking at her most of the time.
Did something happen?
"Okay, we didn't plan to go out anyway." Anyway, it's always right to listen to your daughter.
Fang Huiwen also said, "Mother and Second Aunt have been thinking about making a few more men's suits and underwear for you and Wu Guiduo. I also need to pack our current belongings in preparation for our departure. If there is any need, we will ask Hu Zi and the others to buy them."
"Okay, if you need anything, please tell me immediately. I'm going out now."
Li Jialan looked at Zhou Yunshu, who had just returned home and hadn't been there for half a day, and asked, "It's almost time for dinner, where are you going?"
"Go out for a walk, and I'll bring you whatever you want."
Seeing that she couldn't stop him, Li Jialan said, "I've bought everything I wanted before. You can take care of it yourself."
"Okay, I heard there's a good mutton hotpot in the city. Now that the weather is getting cold, let's add a dish."
"Can."
When Zhou Yunshu left, she brought Chunque, who had disguised herself like herself, and Liang Laosan, who had become familiar with the city gate.
Liang Laosan drove Zhou Yunshu and Chunque to the city gate.
Zhou Yunshu was not sure when Yang Yuhao broke up with Zhou Yunjia, nor did she know where he met Cao Zhengxing.
But she thought that if Zhou Yunjia returned to the provincial capital with Yang Yuhao, then since Yang Yuhao wanted Zhou Yunjia to return to Nanzhou as soon as possible, he would definitely settle him near the city gate.
So Zhou Yunshu came here to try her luck and see if she could meet Yang Yuhao's people and find out Zhou Yunjia's location.
As a result, Zhou Yunjia didn't see it, but she saw Liu Fuyi instead.
Or rather, it's not just Liu Fuyi, but also Du Huairou.
Zhou Yunshu sat at the tea table on the second floor and watched Liu Fuyi follow Du Huairou into the Yang Mansion's carriage, wondering when their relationship became so close.
Also, why did Du Huairou bring Liu Fuyi to the Yang Mansion at this time? Could it be to please Princess Yuyang?
In fact, what Zhou Yunshu was thinking at this time was almost the same as what Du Huairou did.
Du Huairou brought Liu Fuyi into the Yang Mansion to sing a song to celebrate Princess Yuyang's birthday, but entering the mansion early today was a sudden decision made by Du Huairou.
After Du Huairou came back from outside with Liu Fuyi, they went directly to the main courtyard to meet Princess Yuyang.
At this time, Princess Yuyang was having a headache because her two children did not understand her and were making a big fuss in the mansion, so when Du Huairou came, her face was not very good.
After Du Huairou entered the room, she immediately asked the nanny behind Princess Yuyang with concern, "What did the doctor say about my aunt's migraine? Is it serious?"
The nanny looked at the only caring child in the mansion and said, "The doctor said he needs to rest."
Upon hearing this, Du Huairou looked at Princess Yuyang with a troubled expression on her face.
Princess Yuyang didn't want to guess anyone's thoughts right now, so she said directly: "If there is anything you need my aunt to decide, just tell me directly, there's no need to be secretive."
"Rou'er doesn't need any help from Aunt. It's just that Rou'er saw Aunt had a terrible headache, and she remembered that Daddy used to listen to some music to relieve his boredom when he was feeling unwell. Coincidentally, Rou'er knew that Master Liu Fuyi from Jinling had arrived in the city, so she went out of the house just now to invite Master Liu over."
"But since the doctor said Auntie needs to rest, I'd better send Mrs. Liu back first..."
"Liu Fuyi?" Princess Yuyang sat up slightly and asked, "I think I've heard of his name."
Du Huairou smiled and said, "Mr. Liu is very famous in Jinling. He is not only good at opera, but also can sing the folk songs of Wu dialect with ease. That's why I took the initiative to invite him to you."
Princess Yuyang looked at Du Huairou with sincere eyes, sighed, and then waved to her.
Du Huairou obediently came to the side of Princess Yuyang.
"Among the several children in the family, you are the only one who makes your aunt feel at ease."
Du Huairou didn't take all the credit for herself, but said to Princess Yuyang, "Actually, Rou'er doesn't really understand it, but I just think that since men can enjoy it, women can too."
As she spoke, she looked at Princess Yuyang with sparkling eyes and said coquettishly, "Not to mention that Daddy once said that if His Majesty is the most powerful person in the world, then Aunt is the second most powerful person."
"A powerful person like my aunt deserves to live a happy and carefree life."
Princess Yuyang finally smiled for the first time since catching her husband in bed. She touched Du Huairou's weathered face and said, "You are much more sensible than your silly sister."
