Of course.
Chen Liu only dared to complain in his heart. On the surface, he was a respectful lackey. After taking the reins from his master, he handed them to the guard beside him. Then he followed his master happily and asked, "Master, do you want to go to the Dali Temple first? Or should we rush outside the city to meet up with Miss Yang?"
Mo Junran was going to go to Yujiang with Yang Zhao on this trip.
But in order to avoid unnecessary gossip, Mo Junran naturally did not stay with Yang Zhao in the city. This time, "capturing" Cheng Wang was not a sudden idea, but was planned long ago.
The follow-up arrangements have also been made.
Mo Junran said, "Go to Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion."
Chen Liu:……?
*
Half an hour later.
Xiaoqing is back.
"Miss, I met the owner of the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion. He agreed and said he would wait for you at Shilipu outside the city. By the way, he asked me to pass this to you. He said it was the early payment for the next batch of goods." Xiaoqing handed a box into the carriage.
Yang Zhao took the box.
Open.
Inside was a pair of... bracelets?
The bracelet doesn't look particularly luxurious, even a bit plain, but it feels the same as the hairpin.
Yang Zhao picked up the bracelet and took a look at it, and soon found that the bracelet was different.
She raised her brows slightly.
Dong Shuang was also quite surprised when he saw it: "Is this a dagger?"
I saw that when the two bracelets were pressed on special places, they could straighten up in an instant, and blades would pop out from both sides. When put together, they could instantly become a weapon similar to a dagger.
It seems to be still sharp.
Yang Zhao tried it and found that this 'dagger' could also be described as being able to cut iron like mud. With a glimmer in his eyes, he carefully played with the 'dagger' in his hand for a while before restoring it to its bracelet form.
"Dong Shuang, don't follow me this time. I have something else for you to do."
"Miss, I..."
Dong Shuang almost never left her young lady's side. When she heard that her young lady wanted to keep her, she subconsciously wanted to refuse. But after looking into her young lady's eyes, she swallowed her words.
"Miss, you say, I will listen to you."
The young lady must have kept her here because she had something important to do, and she must not hold the young lady back.
Outside the city gate.
A carriage was waiting by the roadside early, as if waiting for someone.
"Auntie, the carriage from the Marquis's Mansion has arrived."
An old maid hurriedly reported to the carriage window.
The car window opened a corner, and the person inside the car's mood changed when they saw the convoy coming out of the city gate. She said, "Mammy, quickly send someone to wait at the front."
The old lady was slightly stunned.
Then nodded: "Okay, Auntie,"
A servant quickly arrived on the road ahead. When Yang Zhao's carriages approached, the servant immediately stepped forward and, while the guards were on their guard, shouted, "My aunt wishes to see Duke Yang of Qi."
That voice is quite loud.
The people passing by heard it and stopped.
But when they saw the convoys of guards with swords, many people who did not want to cause trouble quickly dispersed.
Only a few who were curious dared not get too close.
Yang Zhao naturally heard the shouting as well.
I opened the car window and took a look,
When she saw the woman with a big belly standing next to the carriage not far away, she raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Xiaoqing, let her come over."
"yes."
After a while.
The pregnant woman, supported by the nanny, came to the carriage. After taking her hand away from the nanny, she knelt down and bowed respectfully towards the carriage: "Xiao Cui greets my husband...Miss."
Yes, this woman was Xiao Cui, the personal maidservant of Shen Sulan, who became pregnant and was taken as a concubine by Chen Mingrong.
Also because of her.
That's why Shen Sulan was abandoned by the Chen family so easily.
Yang Zhao opened the car window.
Looking at Xiao Cui, whose belly had grown considerably and whose figure had become fairer and more tender, she raised the corners of her lips slightly and said, "It seems like you're living a good life."
Xiao Cui looked at Yang Zhao, smiled and nodded: "This is all thanks to you, my lady. I am living a very happy life now. Now I am just looking forward to the birth of the baby in my belly. With that, I will be satisfied."
Yang Zhao's gaze fell on her abdomen.
He smiled faintly and said nothing more.
Be content?
The human heart is the most insatiable.
If she was really content, she would not be here today, but would stay in Chen's house and give birth to the child peacefully instead of coming to her and saying that she was content. However, Yang Zhao did not expose her.
Xiao Cui felt a little embarrassed when she saw Yang Zhao didn't say anything.
But it was just a flash in time.
She waved to her nanny, and after she left for a distance, she bowed slightly to Yang Zhao and said with her head lowered, "Miss, Xiao Cui wants to ask you for a favor."
Yang Zhao looked at her with a half-smile: "To be honest, we don't have any master-servant relationship, so I can't bear the title of Miss. However, the result of our last cooperation should be what you wanted."
"Now in the Chen family, although you don't have the title of mistress, you have the power of the mistress. After you give birth to the child, it will only take some time, and then you should be able to obtain both the title and the power. What else is there to be dissatisfied with?"
Xiao Cui, who had just said that she was content with having a child, was speechless for a moment.
That's true.
Now, in the Chen family, she can be said to have held the power of the mistress because of her son. Even the old lady of the Chen family loves her very much and treasures her like the apple of her eye, because... Chen Mingrong will never be able to have children again.
Except for the one in her belly.
This is also why Yang Zhao told her that he would grant her wish.
It’s just that human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant.
After Xiao Cui got what she had always wanted, she gradually began to feel dissatisfied again. Because of the Shen family case, Chen Mingrong "turned from evil to good" and took the initiative to confess some things, but in the end his official position was still suspended.
After all, the relationship between the Chen family and the Shen family is there.
But after Xiao Cui really became the 'mistress' of the Chen family, she discovered that the Chen family was not as prosperous as it seemed. In fact, all the wealth in the past was subsidized by Shen Sulan with money from her natal family.
This is the glory of the Chen family.
Of course, Xiao Cui was mentally prepared when she cooperated with Yang Zhao, but people are like that. Before they get something, they will fight for it by any means necessary, but once they get it, they will be dissatisfied in various ways.
Xiao Cui bit her lip.
Finally, she raised her eyes, looked at Yang Zhao and said, "Miss, I know something that I can trade with you."
"trade?"
Yang Zhao looked at Xiao Cui, whose eyes were finally no longer disguised, and raised his lips: "Tell me about it, but first, I'm a businessman. If what you say is not worth what you want, I won't pay for it for you."
"Of course, you can also choose not to make a deal with me."
Xiao Cui glanced around before leaning in and whispering, "I have news about the Protector General..."
