Chapter 48 Prime Minister's Mansion
Knowing that he had spoken too much and made many mistakes, Yuangungun dared not speak anymore and hid pitifully in the pile of bamboo.
Bao Taozi snorted coldly and began to ponder his situation.
Dad doesn't love me, and mom is gone.
Most mistresses hate themselves.
I don’t know what the attitude of the older brother and sister is, but I guess it’s not very good.
If you want to weaken Xiao Ziyu's ghost power, you must prevent him from causing so many massacres, and that means you have to make the Canglan Kingdom stronger.
He only has one year left. After one year, Xiao Ziyu will come to massacre the city and the country.
Time is tight and the task is heavy, so it is not advisable to take it slow.
Thinking of his newbie gift pack, Bao Taozi quickly opened it.
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining 30,000 taels of gold and 100,000 taels of silver.]
That’s it?! Just money???
What a scam!
The most urgent task now is to get in touch with the Emperor of Canglan Kingdom.
After going through my memories, I found that the original owner's mother's family was still there, right in the city. My grandfather was a fifth-rank official, in charge of transporting food and fodder.
Back then, the original owner's mother fell in love with the Prime Minister at first sight and, despite her family's strong objections, insisted on going to the Prime Minister's mansion to be a maid. It was really love-brained, but digging wild vegetables was not an option.
The original owner's mother hurt her family's feelings and never saw them again until her death.
I can test my grandparents' attitude towards me.
After thinking about it, Bao Taozi called Zhenzhu and Biyu over.
"Pearl, Jasper, I trust you the most. Find a way to get a message to my grandfather's family. Tell them to meet me at the ancient tree at Ji'an Temple at noon tomorrow."
The two looked at each other and saw surprise and excitement in each other's eyes. Has the lady finally come to her senses?
"promise!"
If you have money, you won't be worried.
Bao Taozi gave the two men ten ingots of silver and asked them to exchange part of it into small change and part into copper coins.
In the afternoon, let’s go to the streets together and see what’s happening in this country.
At lunch time, a nanny raised her chin and kicked the door open.
"Second Miss, the master of the house asked me to ask you to go to the main hall for dinner!"
Bao Taozi brushed off the invisible dust on his legs, stood up and walked to the nanny. Bao Taozi remembered her as the mistress's right-hand man.
“Bang!”
Aunt Xiu covered her face and looked at Bao Tao in disbelief.
"You! How dare you hit me, you little bitch! I belong to the mistress!"
“Bang!”
Bao Taozi doesn't care who she belongs to.
"You know I'm the second daughter of the mansion, and you still dare to kick my door? You have such a foul mouth. I'm beating you to cure your bad breath, so that you won't offend the mistress when you serve her. Pearl, tie her up, gag her, and throw her to the toilet. This is called fighting poison with poison."
Pearl rubbed her hands excitedly and said, "Yes!"
Bao Taozi turned back to the stunned Biyu and said, "Come on, Biyu, accompany me to meet my father, the Prime Minister, and the enemy who killed my mother."
Biyu suddenly looked up, it turned out that the second girl knew everything!
......
A master and a maid came to the outside of the main hall, and before they entered, they heard sarcastic voices.
"This second young lady is really too busy, and she even wants the head of the family to wait for her here."
"Mother, my second sister has had no one to discipline her since she was a child, so she lacks manners. Please don't blame me." A soft voice came, and this must be the original owner's eldest sister.
Bao Taozi stepped into the hall and looked around. Well, everyone was here.
"Mother, I came just after Aunt Xiu arrived. I don't know how I can be considered late."
"Nonsense! I asked her to notify them two hours ago. She's just like your mother, talking nonsense!"
Although he looked down on this woman and had no feelings for her, he still had to seek justice after all since he had taken over the original owner's body.
"Really? My mother is talking nonsense? That's possible. After all, she told me in a dream that it was you, my mother, who poisoned her to death. I don't believe it, so I told her that if it was really my mother who killed you, then you should go find her. If you don't dare to go, then you are just talking nonsense and slandering my mother. Even if you die, I won't allow it!"
Mistress Yue Qianmei's face suddenly turned pale, and she pointed at Bao Taozi with a trembling handkerchief.
"What nonsense are you talking about, you little bitch! When have I ever hurt your mother?"
"Mother, I told you I don't believe it. Why are you so excited?"
"Bang!"
The Prime Minister threw his bowl down, his face livid as he said, "How uneasy! Sit down and have your meal!"
Bao Taozi bowed and said obediently, "Yes, father."
The atmosphere during the meal was extremely low. Bao Taozi looked at Yue Qianmei with amusement as her face turned pale and blue, and her hands were shaking so much that she couldn't even hold the spoon steadily.
Bao Taozi was quite grateful for the ancient table etiquette, which states that one should not talk while eating or sleeping. Otherwise, he would not be able to eat with his mouth and would have to talk nonsense.
After the meal, the Prime Minister said, "Xinbao, Baotao, the two of you come with me to the study."
"yes."
......
When they arrived at the study, the Prime Minister looked at the two of them and said, "Now that you two have reached the age to get married, do you have any ideas?"
Bao Xinbao shyly said coquettishly: "Dad, I just want to be with you, I don't want to get married!"
"Nonsense! How can you not get married?" Although the words were harsh, there was an uncontrollable tenderness on her face.
After saying that, he looked at Bao Taozi again.
"As for you, your father has already found someone for you, the legitimate son of General Weiyuan's mansion. You are marrying above your station."
"Puchi~" Bao Xinbao seemed like he couldn't help it.
"Second sister, although General Weiyuan's legitimate son is a fool, it is indeed a good treatment for you to marry into the family as the mistress of the family as a concubine's daughter. Dad is worried about you, so why don't you thank him quickly."
Bao Taozi sneered in her heart. Even if she married her unfavored concubine's daughter to the man, even if the man was a fool, it would not matter if she sacrificed a daughter for her own benefit.
Although he was disdainful in his heart, he did not show it on his face.
"Thank you, father, for your consideration. I will just listen to you."
It is impossible for her to be obedient, and it is impossible for her to get married.
The prime minister was very satisfied with Bao Taozi's understanding and talked to her a few more words.
"Do you have enough staff in the courtyard? If you need help, go find your stepmother. The wedding date is almost set."
"Yes, my daughter saved it."
After saying this, the Prime Minister waved his hand and asked the two to leave.
After going out, Bao Xinbao couldn't help laughing anymore.
"Bao Tao, ah Bao Tao, you deserve this!"
Bao Taozi ignored her and walked straight to his own yard.
It's time to let Bai Wuchang bring up the ghost of the original owner's mother. I won't suffer in vain.
He returned to the room, took out Bai Wuchang's umbrella and called him out.
"Xiaobai, go to the underworld tonight and bring up the mother of this body for me."
"Yes!" Your Highness called me Xiaobai!
After resolving this matter, Bao Taozi prepared to go shopping with Zhenzhu and Biyu.
Biyu was asked to tell the mistress that she wanted to choose the fabric for her wedding dress, and she agreed without any hesitation.
As for Nanny Xiu, the Prime Minister's wife didn't notice that she was gone because she was always out shopping and doing errands.
