Fu Yu sent her to the gate of Liuyun Garden, but did not go in. He just waited for her to enter and then turned and left.
As soon as she returned to the room and made sure that Fu Yu could no longer see her, Wen Zhu frowned.
Since Fu Yu didn't plan to come back to sleep tonight, why was he standing outside the side door? How strange.
But before she could figure this out, fatigue came over her and she fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke up the next day, Hongyu had not yet brought back breakfast, and Wen Zhu took out the money he had prepared earlier.
She originally took out one thousand taels of silver, but soon sent most of it back home, and spent a lot of the rest on Hongyu, so now there is very little left.
She decided to find an opportunity to go out and get some money.
At this time, Hongyu came back with breakfast.
The four dishes and one soup looked very tempting, but Wen Zhu had no appetite.
Now it seems that she can only try to solve the problem from her mother.
Thinking of this, Wen Zhu glanced at Hongyu.
Hongyu was staring at the food on the table in a daze and didn't notice the gaze.
"Hongyu, the money I took out earlier is almost gone. If Granny Liu still can't approve it, can you go back home and ask Mother if she agrees to let me go out?"
Hongyu was stunned for a moment. What should I do now that my money is almost gone?
In this case, the young lady might not even have a stutter anymore!
Hongyu quickly made a decision: "Don't worry, Miss, I will go home immediately."
"Thanks a lot."
After breakfast, Hongyu cleaned up the dishes, quickly finished her own portion, and then went out.
Wen Zhu, who had some free time, took out the rabbit wood carving and started playing with it again.
On the other side, Hongyu hurried back to Yun Mansion.
It happened that my mother was drinking tea and talking about painting with some friends. When she heard that Hongyu had returned, she went to see her.
"What's up?"
Hongyu knelt down and said respectfully, "Madam, the second young lady said she wanted to go out for a walk and sent me to ask for your permission."
Madam Yun narrowed her eyes slightly: "Isn't this large mansion enough for her to explore?"
I thought to myself, Wen Zhu is becoming more and more thoughtful.
Seeing that Hongyu was unable to answer for a long time, Madam Yun stepped forward and gently pinched her chin to force her to look up: "Remember my arrangements and don't have any other thoughts."
"Madam, I will always remember your great kindness in my heart and will never forget it!" Hongyu immediately knelt down.
After hearing this, Madam Yun finally smiled: "Just remember it. You can take Wen Zhu out for a walk tomorrow, but you must keep a close eye on her. If she runs away, neither you nor your mother will survive!"
Hongyu trembled for a moment, and after a long moment she answered, "Yes."
"Go ahead."
Madam Yun put away the gloom on her face, turned around and smiled like a flower, then walked into the flower hall.
Hongyu stood up tremblingly, and a special look flashed in her lowered eyes.
Since her mother fell ill, her master has only given her fifty taels of silver, and only gives her the money after she has completed the tasks assigned to her.
Wen Zhu gave her a hundred taels of silver at once, and he always took good care of her and never threatened her with her mother's affairs.
Unfortunately, her indenture contract was still in Madam Yun's hands.
Hongyu left calmly and returned to the Marquis' Mansion.
"Madam agreed, which means we can go out tomorrow." Hongyu's smile was a little forced.
Wen Zhu thought for a while and said, "Go ask Mrs. Liu where her daughter is now. We can go see her tomorrow when we go out."
After hearing this, Hongyu felt even more complicated.
This person is really... kind to the point of being silly. But that's okay.
Hongyu turned and walked away.
Mrs. Liu was still sitting at the back corner door. When she saw Hongyu coming over, she blinked and rolled her eyes dully: "You can just go out."
Hongyu shook her head, sat down beside her and said, "Madam said that I can go shopping with the second young lady tomorrow. The second young lady asked me to ask you where your daughter is. Let's go see her on the way."
When mentioning her daughter, Mrs. Liu's eyes lit up: "Really?"
Hongyu nodded. Mrs. Liu no longer had any doubts.
After all, Hongyu has been with Madam Yun for several years and is as loyal as she is.
"Madam said that Doukou was sold to Xiuhua Pavilion and seemed to have changed her name, but I don't know what her name is."
Mrs. Liu's voice was full of excitement.
Hongyu frowned. If she didn't know the name, it would be very troublesome.
"By the way, Doukou has a flower-shaped birthmark on her left shoulder," said Mrs. Liu, taking off the purse from her waist. "This is what I've saved over the years. Please help me give it to her, young lady!"
Hongyu took the purse and weighed it gently, feeling heavy-hearted. The purse was too light.
"I understand." Hongyu nodded.
Then she turned around and left, not noticing that Mrs. Liu behind her was already in tears.
Hongyu took the purse back to the back room, told Wen Zhu what Liu Po had said, and handed the purse over.
"Mrs. Liu said that this was the money she had saved for several years, but I weighed it and it seems the weight is wrong."
Wen Zhu opened his purse and saw that apart from twenty taels of silver notes, the rest were scattered silver coins and copper coins.
It only amounted to half an ounce of silver. The two looked at each other.
Wen Zhu didn't know, but Hongyu knew it very well. Liu Po used to do heavy work in Madam Yun's yard, but she was an old woman after all, and she was efficient at her work.
Other servants like Liu Pozi could also receive half a tael of silver every month.
But why did it take Mrs. Liu several years to save up half a tael of silver?
There must be something wrong, but Wen Zhu didn't want to think too much about it now. She tore a piece of rice paper and made a list filled with items to buy tomorrow.
Hongyu also came over to watch.
Although she couldn't quite understand what was written, it was nice to join in the fun.
The master and servant were discussing their outing for tomorrow, while Fu Yu finally returned home from the Hanlin Academy.
"Sir, the Marquis gave you a list and asked you to make friends with the people on it. Why didn't you go?"
Fu Yu glanced at Mo Yi and said, "We have different ideas and can't talk to each other."
Mo Yi grinned: "What do you mean by that? As long as they can help you, it's fine. Why are there so many details?"
In his eyes, there is only one way in the world, and that is the way to climb up.
Fu Yu tightly closed his lips, and the aura around him became a little colder.
There's no point telling him this; it's like talking to a cow.
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Mo Yi immediately didn't dare to say anything more.
The two of them passed through the hanging flower gate and were walking towards Liuyun Garden. Suddenly, Mo Yi felt something was wrong behind him.
He looked back and immediately spotted the sneaky little maid following behind him.
The little maid thought she was hiding well, but in fact half of her skirt was exposed, and it was impossible to ignore it.
Although the old lady doesn't take care of the family, the housekeepers are not easy to deal with. The family rules are very strict and no one has ever dared to peek like this. This little maid is obviously from a certain courtyard.
"Sir, this might be from the Madam's courtyard."
Mo Yi still gave Wen Chan some face when he mentioned it.
