Chu Feifeng returned to Madam Ji's courtyard and went to report to her first. Madam Ji responded indifferently and went to bed.
She returned to her room, bolted the door, lit the oil lamp, and took out the half-burned letter from her wide sleeves.
Boom boom boom.
Someone knocked on the door.
Chu Feifeng asked vigilantly: "Who is it?"
"Yunniang, it's me."
She was a little maidservant who was taken care of by Chu Feifeng.
Chu Feifeng asked, "It's so late, what's the matter?"
The little maid said, "I saw that you were still awake, so I brought you a bowl of Tremella soup."
Chu Feifeng didn't like eating Tremella soup, but in order to disguise herself, she deliberately said that she liked it.
"I'm not hungry, you can eat by yourself, I'll go to sleep soon."
"Is that so? Okay, if you're hungry in the middle of the night, call me and I'll make it for you."
"good."
Chu Feifeng agreed, and when the footsteps faded away, she dimmed the wick and read the letter in the weak light.
"We have to find an opportunity to send it to Xiao Qi."
Chu Feifeng had planned to leave Tianyutang early the next morning under the pretext of purchasing something, but unexpectedly it started to rain heavily in the middle of the night.
Madam Ji was bored, so she asked Chu Feifeng to stay in the room to play chess with her, and left the shopping to someone else.
Chu Feifeng had no choice but to wait for the next opportunity. -Baihua Palace.
The three of them, wearing small straw raincoats and small bamboo hats, were happily stepping in the puddles in the yard.
Wei Xiaobao was sleeping soundly in the cradle.
Su Xiaoxiao was sitting in the room counting gold.
The last time we went to the City Lord's Mansion, Wei Ting received 10,000 taels, and Su Mo, who came in second, received 5,000 taels. He thought he had been judged to have forfeited and would not receive any reward, but he was still considered among the top ten and received 1,000 taels.
"Yizhichan and Qingshan fell off the stage at the same time, tied for tenth place, but the two disciples of the Killer Alliance did not go to claim it, saving two thousand taels, and the City Lord's Mansion did not lose out."
Su Xiaoxiao muttered to herself and nodded.
After clicking, I found something was wrong.
"Wei Ting, why is it only eight thousand taels? Wasn't it sixteen thousand? Where did the other eight thousand taels go?"
Wei Ting was checking the homework of the three children. Upon hearing this, he said, "I gave eight thousand taels to the ghost grandmother."
Su Xiaoxiao was puzzled: "Why give her eight thousand taels?"
Wei Ting said: "Su Xuan's consultation fee."
Su Xiaoxiao was stunned.
She asked the ghost grandma if she needed anything else, and she said no. She wondered at the time, how could the grandma be so generous?
So he was waiting here! Su Xiaoxiao was furious: "My eight thousand taels!"
Wei Ting freed up one hand and put his arm around her waist: "Okay, okay, don't be angry, the mother-in-law has gone far away."
Su Xiaoxiao fluttered her hands and feet: "Let me go! I want my eight thousand taels back! My eight thousand taels--" - In the blink of an eye, it was November, Qianshan Island entered winter, and even the whistling sea breeze was mixed with a bit of coldness.
Wei Xiaobao is two months and two days old. His facial features have grown a lot. He looks more and more cute, and he has more little expressions.
"What are you doing?"
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the little guy in her arms with amusement.
The little fellow grabbed her collar with both hands and looked for food again.
You are really persistent.
Wei Ting came over.
The little guy looked at his mother's collar, then looked at his father who was smiling happily, and his face became very serious.
It was as if he was wondering if his father had taken away all his food rations.
Wei Ting said lovingly, "Daddy, hold me."
Wei Xiaobao stretched out his little feet.
Foot refusal!
At noon, several people went to Lingxiao Palace to have lunch with the Palace Master.
Ling Yun was there too. He was dragged here by three little evil disciples.
After the meal, the Palace Master took out an invitation: "The seventh young lady of Qianji Pavilion is getting married, and she is looking for a husband at home."
Ling Yun looked disgusted and said, "Why did Qianji Pavilion send an invitation to Baihua Palace? They have no good intentions."
The Palace Master said, "This time it really wasn't Qianji Pavilion who wanted to send it, it was someone from the City Lord's Mansion who sent it."
Ling Yun was even more disgusted.
Ling Yun: "It's up to you."
That being said, when they set out three days later, Ling Yun's luxurious carriage had already been parked steadily at the gate of Baihua Palace.
The three little ones poked their cute little heads out of the car window: "Grandma!"
The Palace Master glanced at Ling Yun leisurely.
Ling Yun looked like he wasn't going to go there.
The Palace Master walked over and touched the three little round heads: "It must be hard for Da Hu, Er Hu and Xiao Hu to have such a master."
Da Hu: "It's not hard, it's my duty to take care of Master!"
Then the three little ones knocked Ling Yun to the ground and spit all over his face.
Wei Ting and Su Xiaoxiao took Wei Xiaobao to ride in the palace master's carriage.
Su Mo and Jing Yi did not show up, they had other tasks.
When the carriage arrived at Qianji Pavilion, many guests had already arrived.
However, Qianji Pavilion was wealthy and powerful, and the entire back street belonged to them. The carriages were parked in an orderly manner without any disorder.
In another carriage, a man in gray pointed at the carriage road of Baihua Palace and said, "Second Young Master, people from Baihua Palace are here."
Xie Jinnian looked through the gap in the curtain.
The man in blue said, "The one wearing the mask must be the young master of Baihua Palace. I didn't expect that he is the illegitimate son of the city lord."
The gray-clothed man said, "Illegitimate child? His mother is Yun Xi, who is engaged to the city lord."
The man in blue snorted, "He's not married yet, so he's a bastard! Second Young Master, I'm going to kill him, so that he won't compete with you for the position of heir!"
The man in gray said, "Don't be impulsive."
The man in blue said, "We can put the blame on Qianji Pavilion today if we start the fight at Qianji Pavilion!"
Xie Jinnian's gaze fell on Wei Ting and Su Xiaoxiao, and soon, on the triplets.
He got out of the carriage.
Man in blue: "Sir!"
Xiaohu wanted to jump off the carriage again, but his father had already stopped him three times.
He didn't care and climbed up again, insisting on jumping himself once.
Wei Ting was waiting to pick him up for the fourth time.
Su Xiaoxiao got off the palace master's carriage.
Just as she turned around, Xie Jinnian called her, "Second Young Master's Madam."
Su Xiaoxiao heard the familiar voice, turned around calmly, and smiled slightly: "Master Xiahou."
Xie Jinnian smiled gently: "Call me Xie Jinnian, Miss Cheng Su."
Su Xiaoxiao: "..." -In the hall, the palace master looked around: "Huh? Xiaobao, where is your mother?"
Wei Xiaobao sucks his fingers.
It was rare for her to wake up during the day.
Su Xiaoxiao came over, with beads of sweat on her forehead.
The palace master hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
Wei Ting, holding the furry little tiger in his hand, also looked at her.
She took a deep breath: "Xie Jinnian recognized me."
Wei Ting let go of Xiaohu: "Dahu, take your brother out to play."
"oh."
Dahu came over and took Xiaohu's hand to find Lingyin and Xing'er.
The Palace Master said thoughtfully, "Didn't you change your appearance in Southern Xinjiang? How could you recognize this?"
Su Xiaoxiao nodded.
Wei Ting frowned.
"What else did he say?" asked the Palace Master.
Su Xiaoxiao said seriously: "He only said two words, be careful."
The Palace Master was puzzled: "Be careful? Be careful of what? Is it a threat or a reminder?"
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head: "It's hard to say."
She couldn't see through Xie Jinnian.
Wei Ting analyzed: "If it is a threat, it means he is going to attack us; if it is a reminder, it means he knows someone is going to attack us. It seems that today is destined to be a Hongmen Banquet."
