Chapter 230 Return it to him personally

Lu Lingyun's control over Cheng Yunshuo was very precise.

After he had a good sleep, the strange emotions he had felt over the past two days disappeared. When he woke up early in the morning, his energy and spirit were restored to normal.

Du Ruo got drunk yesterday and fell asleep on the couch. He got up and took a look.

"Why do you drink so much?"

Du Ruo responded with a sob murmur.

Every word is heartbreaking.

Cheng Yunshuo didn't understand, so he carried her to the bed and asked Xiaoqin to take care of Du Ruo.

"Take good care of Aunt Du. She's awake now. Tell her to drink less in the future."

"Yes, Prince."

Cheng Yunshuo dressed himself and went out to work.

Today we are still guarding the palace gates. Except for the rear palace, we are patrolling the gates of all palaces.

Just as he was about to reach another palace gate, a palace maid in a green dress and with her hair in a mature bun arrived at the palace gate.

Li, the guard who was on duty at the palace gate, recognized her at a glance and asked, "Are you the Aunt Bixi from yesterday?"

"Good luck to you, my lord." Bixi knelt down and bowed respectfully.

"You're too polite, aunt." Captain Li looked at her face carefully, and his eyes became brighter the more he looked.

Yes! Very similar!

She looks just like the girl that Cheng Yunshuo spent a huge amount of money to redeem from a brothel!

Nowadays, no one talks about that extraordinary woman anymore, but Captain Li, the Imperial Guard, had seen her in his past.

"What are you looking at, my Lord?" Bixi had already stood up. She lowered her head slightly and stroked her cheek with her hand. "Is there something on Bixi's face?"

"No, no, no." Realizing his mistake, Guard Captain Li quickly shook his head and explained, "I think Aunt Bixi looks a lot like someone I've met before."

Bixi smiled faintly upon hearing this, "Captain Li, you are joking."

She obviously didn't care what Captain Li said.

Guard Li looked around hurriedly at this time, "Yun Shuo, where is Yun Shuo?"

"Cheng Shiwei has gone on patrol."

"He's not here again," Guard Li said with a disappointed look on his face. "You look a lot like Yun Shuo's concubine. He will definitely be surprised if he sees you."

Bixi: ".......concubine."

"Aunt Bixi, I don't mean anything else, I just think you look like her."

"You are too polite, sir." Bixi still maintained a decent smile, "But who is the Cheng guard you are talking about?"

"It's the Ningyang Marquis's son, Cheng Yunshuo, who was recently promoted to the fifth-rank dragon guard."

Listening to Li's introduction, Bixi's eyes suddenly lit up. She took out a purse from her body and asked, "Is this the guard who helped us carry the groceries yesterday?"

Bixi did some investigation yesterday and found out that the purse did not belong to a palace maid or a eunuch. Because of the position where Cheng Yunshuo was standing, she was able to find out Cheng Yunshuo's name.

"Yes, it's him! This sachet is also his!" Guard Li recognized Cheng Yunshuo's ugly sachet at a glance.

This sachet is really very recognizable. Anyone who has seen Cheng Yunshuo wearing it can recognize it.

"Why is his sachet here with you?"

"Master Cheng helped me yesterday, but it was left there and he asked me to pick it up." Bixi said.

"Then give it to me, and I'll return it to him for you later."

Upon hearing this, Bixi paused with the hand holding the sachet, then retracted it, "Since you know it belongs to Cheng Shiwei, why don't I return it to him in person tomorrow, and also hear if there is really anyone in the world who looks like me."

Hearing this, Guard Captain Li said, "Okay! I'll tell him later. He will definitely be surprised when he looks at you."

Bixi smiled.

"By the way, where did Aunt Bixi go after leaving the palace?"

"It's almost Mid-Autumn Festival, and my superiors asked me to go outside the palace to buy some sundries."

"Then we won't waste your aunt's time." Captain Li made way for them, did a simple routine check, and then let Bixi and the palace maids she brought with her go.

Not long after Bixi left, Cheng Yunshuo came back after searching the palace gates. Li, the chief guard, asked him, "Yunshuo, did you lose something?"

"No." Cheng Yunshuo said.

"Where's the sachet on your waist?"

Cheng Yunshuo suddenly realized what was going on. He couldn't help but recall that Du Ruo had gotten mad at him yesterday because of the sachet. "Yes! I lost my sachet. Did you find it?"

"Aunt Bixi picked it up for you."

"Bixi?"

"It's the head aunt we met at the gate of the inner palace when we were transporting groceries yesterday. I told you that she looks like... Forget it, I won't tell you." Captain Li smiled mysteriously.

"What are you talking about?"

"Anyway, they will come again tomorrow and say they will return the sachet to you in person." Guard Captain Li patted Cheng Yunshuo on the shoulder, "I will definitely give you a surprise tomorrow."

Cheng Yunshuo: "......"

At this time, the Marquis's Mansion.

Lu Lingyun was sitting in the yard, and the people below started discussing.

"Madam, Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon."

"What kind of activities are we having this Mid-Autumn Festival?"

"I heard that fresh meat mooncakes are becoming popular this year. A new shop has opened in Beijing and there are so many people there!"

"Fresh meat mooncakes? Can they be delicious?"

"It came from Jiangnan, and it's said to taste really good!"

"Madam, let's buy some too! Let's try some new flavors!"

The maids became more and more bold in front of Lu Lingyun and even dared to make some requests.

Lu Lingyun looked at the little gluttonous cats and said, "You guys are all reincarnated gluttonous ghosts!"

"We are blessed by the young lady!"

"Yes, Madam, you are so lucky that we can also taste these delicacies!"

"Buy it, Madam, you are the best."

One nice word after another, all for free.

After listening to this, Lu Lingyun smiled faintly, "Okay, let's go out together tomorrow. You go to the courtyards of the concubines and ask them if they want anything or want to eat. Or you can go with me tomorrow."

Come to think of it, she also wanted to eat fresh meat mooncakes.

In her previous life in Jiangnan, she was the first to taste the freshness of it, and it tasted really good.

Buy something fresh this year.

Anyway, I haven’t gone shopping properly for a long time, so I’ll take them out tomorrow.

"Yes! Young Madam!"

The maids quickly went to notify each courtyard.

When the three concubines heard that Lu Lingyun was going out of the house tomorrow, they asked whether they wanted to take anything with them or go with Lu Lingyun. There was no need to choose.

He must be going with Lu Lingyun!

These concubines have no chance to go out of the house all year round. Du Ruo has her parents' home, where she is pampered and her mistress is kind, so she is allowed to go back to visit her parents' home occasionally.

But you can't go out all the time.

Du Ruo was feeling depressed these past two days. On the one hand, she was thinking about whether she should go back to her aunt's house for a few days, but on the other hand, she felt unwilling to do so.

She couldn't figure out Cheng Yunshuo's thoughts, and didn't know whether he had her in his heart. She was like a pouting fish, being fished by Cheng Yunshuo with empty bait every day.

But it made her very depressed.

When she heard that Lu Lingyun would take them out for some fresh air tomorrow, she immediately agreed.

In the evening, Cheng Yunshuo came back.
