Chapter 72: Palace Banquet, Watching the Laugh of the Trash 2



Baili Feiyue looked at her meaningfully.

"Don't worry, Aunt Liu. I will definitely prepare well and won't let you down."

Want to see her make fun of herself?

Dream on. Why should she do what these bitches want?

It just so happened that she was in a bad mood today, no, a very bad mood!

Are you trying to play tricks on her? Come on, let's see who can outsmart the other!

Baili Feiyue is not afraid that they will play tricks on her, but she is afraid that they will not play tricks on her!

The next day, Chunshan walked in, "Miss, the master has returned home and is heading towards the lobby."

Baili Feiyue drank a mouthful of the health-preserving soup, took out a pair of jasper earrings and gave them to Suyi, "Suyi, take this out and find a reliable pawnshop to pawn it for me. Although this is one of the few things my mother left me, tomorrow is Consort Hui's birthday. After all, I am the future Princess of Qi in name only, so I can't be rude. If I do, not only will I lose face, but my father and the people in the general's mansion will also lose face."

Su Yi was surprised when she heard that this was something left behind by Baili Feiyue.

"Miss……"

All of Madam's things had been burned up in a fire, and Miss only had a few left. How could she pawn them?

"Miss!" Baili Feiyue was called again.

Chun Shan lowered her eyelids slightly, but understood very well, "The money that the young ladies of each room used to prepare birthday gifts for Concubine Hui was all their own pocket money. The young lady had just returned home and the plum garden was burned down, so she naturally had no pocket money to prepare gifts. She could only use this item to exchange for some silver to buy gifts."

Su Yi glared at Chun Shan. Although she knew the reason, this was something left by the Madam!

"Miss, I have saved three taels of silver! I'll give it all to you, but you should keep the madam's earrings!"

Although it is very touching, what can Su Yi's three taels of silver do?

If you’re going to do it, do it big!

It can also make people speechless and unable to express their pain!

"Okay, okay, go quickly," seeing Su Yi puffing her lips, Baili Feiyue waved her hand and said, "Come here."

He said this and that in Su Yi's ear, which made Su Yi smile happily.

"Okay, okay! Miss, I'll go right away!" He ran away like the wind with the earrings.

It turns out the lady has a trick up her sleeve!

Su Yi was once again filled with admiration for her young lady. This is how it should be!

Then, Su Yi, who was running fast, happened to bump into Ling Sheng who had just returned home on the road.

Su Yi was so frightened that she knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy, "Master, please spare my life...Master, this servant didn't mean it..."

Ling Sheng knew her as the older girl next to Baili Feiyue of Qingfeng Pavilion. Although he felt that the girl was young and a little reckless, he still said calmly, "Get up, and be more careful when you walk next time."

"Yes, yes, thank you very much, sir." Su Yi climbed up, and thought that the handkerchief in her hand was wrapped with something. She felt guilty like a thief, so she immediately hid it behind her back.

Last time, a maid in Qingfeng Pavilion buried a red string poison doll to frame her master. Since then, Ling Sheng has not been as lenient to the servants in this mansion as before.

Seeing Su Yi's action, and thinking of Su Yi's panicked look before, he immediately dispersed gently, his face gloomy, "What is in your hand?"

“Nothing… nothing.”

“Take it out!”

Su Yi knelt on the ground again with a plop, and tremblingly took out the thing hidden in her hand.

Ling Sheng took the handkerchief that was wrapping something from her hand, opened it, and was stunned for a moment when he looked at the familiar object.

Is this Zhen Mi’s?

Zhen Mi's skin is extremely fair, and this pair of jade earrings is clear and translucent, with a green color that is so vivid that it complements Zhen Mi's skin. It is indescribably suitable and beautiful...

His eyes narrowed dangerously. "Why is this thing here with you? Tell me."

Su Yi bit her lip. Ling Sheng said this in a stern voice. How could a little girl like Su Yi bear it? She confessed immediately.

"Master, it was... the young lady gave it to me, asking me to sneak out of the house and find a reliable pawnshop to pawn it while it's still early and no one in the house is active yet, so that I can get some silver to buy a birthday present for Concubine Hui..."

Ling Sheng is smart, after all, he is a big man on the battlefield.

How can I be so meticulous as to take care of these internal affairs?

I was a little surprised when I heard this suddenly.

His daughter actually had to rely on selling the jewelry and relics left by her mother to buy a birthday present for Concubine Hui?

He was silent for a moment with mixed feelings. "Get up and take this thing back to your lady. Ask her to meet me in the lobby."

Su Yi glanced at him timidly, "But sir, the young lady said..."

"Um?"

With a single "hmm", Su Yi didn't dare to say anything more and ran away with an uneasy look on her face.

She ran back to Qingfeng Pavilion, her appearance suddenly changed, she was very excited, "Miss, I bumped into the master as you said, and he found the earrings. The master really asked me to bring the earrings back to you! Now the master asked me to ask you to go to the lobby!"

Then she was a little worried, "Miss, do you think the master wants to blame you for being the mistress's jewelry, or blame Aunt Liu?"

Baili Feiyue smiled and said, "You'll know when you get there."

After swallowing the last mouthful of porridge and wiping his mouth gracefully, Baili Feiyue took Suyi and Chunshan with him and walked leisurely towards the lobby.

Liu also received the notice and arrived at about the same time as Baili Feiyue. Their eyes met and Baili Feiyue's eyes curved.

Liu felt a chill in her heart.

Ling Sheng sat in the main seat, without any expression of anger or outrage.

Liu glanced at him, then at Baili Feiyue who was also there, and decided to take the initiative, "Master, I wonder what you want from me?"

"How much is Jing'er's monthly salary?" Ling Sheng asked straight to the point.

Liu was stunned. Could it be that Ling Jing, that little bitch, had wronged her by not giving her enough monthly allowance? She sneered in her heart. Even Li would not make such a low-level mistake, let alone her!

Her food, clothing, and monthly allowance were strictly in accordance with the standards for her status as a concubine in the general's mansion, and she didn't deprive that little bitch of Ling Jing even a hair!

She was calm and collected, not thinking about anything, and still looked honest. "The legitimate daughters in the mansion receive 20 taels of silver per month, and the illegitimate daughters receive 10 taels of silver per month. The third daughter also receives 10 taels of silver per month. I have been in charge of the housework in this mansion since a few days ago, and it happened to be the day for the monthly payment. I did not dare to neglect it, and I carefully checked the specifications that Madam had previously distributed to the daughters, and sent them to each daughter's courtyard one day in advance."

At this point, he looked at Baili Feiyue in confusion, surprised and unbelievable, "What's the matter? Is the Third Miss short of money?" He gritted his teeth and said, "Could it be that the girl who delivered the money did something? I will call her in for questioning. If so, I will beat her to death!"
