The servant guarding the gate was drowsy.
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from not far away.
The dozing servant was instantly awakened, "Who's there?!"
He held the stick and headed towards the place where the sound came from.
After he left, two men in black walked out from the darkness. One of them waved his hand and a tiny silver needle pierced the neck of the maid guarding the door.
The maid fell to the ground instantly.
"Walk!"
Two people pushed open the door and slipped in.
In the room, which was so quiet that only the slightest breathing sound could be heard, the creaking sound was particularly abrupt.
Bai's lips trembled slightly. Her lips were dry and cracked as she hadn't had water for a long time, and her voice was hoarse.
"Why didn't you tell me at the beginning? I'm sure you all know my situation now. I can't give you any more money."
"I can't bear it!"
Bamboo Cloud Residence.
Then, an old woman with messy hair and haggard face stood up from the ground, walked to the table in the dark, held up the teapot in panic, and looked towards the door vigilantly.
[I am now held hostage by the bed. It has strangled me with the quilt and I cannot move.]
"Yaoyao, it's time to get up."
Ah Shi's voice came from outside the door.
Hearing this, Ah Shi smiled and shook his head, "So it was just a dream."
[Here it comes, I’ve finally waited for it, she’s going to cause trouble again! 】
Chu Yaoyao groaned a few times and buried her head in the quilt.
"Each of these is a matter of life and death. The governor's wife is not so naive as to think that she can settle the accounts with just 500 taels of silver, right?"
She stared at the live broadcast screen with her big eyes fixed.
Mo Ying raised his eyes and glanced at her with a sharp gaze, "Then do us a favor!"
Suddenly, the screen went black and the time was up.
Bai became very excited.
"Xuanzhen Temple?"
Chu Yaoyao smacked her lips and muttered softly, "Fried chicken, delicious..."
Chu Yaoyao clenched her fists excitedly.
The woman in black took out a fire starter from her bosom, blew it, and a faint light instantly appeared in the room.
"Princess, are you okay?"
When the door was closed again, Chu Yaoyao opened her eyes again.
…
Mo Ying gestured to the man next to him to sit down, and then he found a chair for himself.
Bai lowered his voice and yelled at her.
"Madam Governor has a really good memory. Since you recognized me, I'll just say it straight. I'm here to get my reward!"
Then she backed out again.
"Didn't I already give you money?!"
Already knowing the other party's next plan, she has no intention of renewing the contract.
Early in the morning, Chu Yaoyao was sleeping soundly when she was awakened by the devilish voice that had been tormenting her for some time.
A hoarse voice with a hint of panic reached the ears of the two.
“Who is it?!”
Mo Ying glanced at the non-threatening teapot in her hand.
Ah Shi quietly pushed open the door, slowly walked to the bed, and tucked her exposed arms into the quilt.
[Stop flattering me, I want to draw a prize! ]
The light was dim, but enough to see her face clearly.
"It's you?! What are you doing here?!"
Hearing the voice, Chu Yaoyao quickly lay down and closed her eyes.
"I helped you hijack the prison van, sent the prisoners to you, and helped you find the human skin mask."
She took out a dagger and slammed the dagger on the table as she spoke.
System: The host's acting skills are becoming more and more sophisticated.
"I can't get up at all."
Li Wanming pursed his lips, covered his mouth with his clenched fist, and coughed lightly.
How did she put it in her own words?
Yes, drama queen!
He shook his head with mock regret.
"That's a pity. Su Yingying sent someone to deliver the invitation. She said that the wife of the head of the Su family is holding a banquet today..."
After taking a look at the slightly shaking quilt, he turned around, took a few steps, and pretended to leave.
"Since Yaoyao wants to rest, I'll go and refuse her."
Su Mansion?
banquet?
Chu Yaoyao suddenly jumped up.
“I’ll go!”
Are you so excited just because you're talking about going out to play?
Why can't I get interested in reading?
Li Wanming walked to the door and waited. He took a look at the little guy who was obviously not awake yet but was trying hard to cheer himself up. He shook his head and sighed.
Suddenly, Chu Yaoyao turned her head and looked at him and asked.
"Uncle, do you know Xuanzhen Temple?"
"Xuanzhen Temple?"
Li Wanming walked to the table and poured her a glass of warm water.
"The abbot of Xuanzhen Temple, Zhiben, is 61 years old. He knows some divination and feng shui techniques, and is a guest of honor for many dignitaries."
"According to rumors, Taoist Master Zhiben has some connection with the former Xiyue State Master."
【Xiyue Imperial Master? 】
"Xuan Ze?!"
Li Wanming scratched her little nose lightly and said in a scolding tone.
"You can't call Taoist Xuan Ze by his Taoist name. I know you don't believe in these gods and ghosts, but you still have to be respectful in everything."
"Master Xuan Ze is indeed very capable. Moreover, he is our elder, so we should respect him even more."
Chu Yaoyao nodded, "I know!"
[You are wrong about one thing, how can you not believe it? I still have a bunch of talismans in my hand that can only be explained by metaphysics. ]
Li Wanming: …
Well, he was worrying too much.
…
In the main hall of the Su Mansion.
A group of ladies were having a heated discussion.
"My daughter Qingqing has a very beautiful bottle of nail polish in her hand. You must have never seen the color before. It's also sparkling!"
The person who said this was naturally Mu Qingqing's mother, Mrs. Mu.
"What's so strange about this? Take a closer look at me. Can you see any difference?"
A lady in a sky-blue jacket and skirt pointed between her eyebrows and winked at everyone.
Mrs. Mu knew at a glance that she must have used the eyebrow pencil her daughter mentioned. Although she was envious, she couldn't stand seeing her daughter look so proud.
She rolled her eyes, covered her lips and chuckled, with a teasing tone.
"What's wrong? Did you have a cramp in your eye?"
The lady pursed her lips and glared at her. "You are sour grapes because you can't eat them!"
Madam Mu immediately slammed the table, stood up, pointed at her nose and shouted loudly.
"What are you talking about! Why should I envy you?"
Everyone started to stop the fight.
"Why!"
This sigh attracted everyone's attention.
I saw a lady in a scarlet jacket and skirt, slowly reaching out to pick up the teacup, and her fingers painted with black plum nude nail polish were exposed in front of everyone.
She took a sip of her tea and then looked closely at the rim.
Then his eyes widened slightly, with a tone of surprise and joy.
"This lip balm actually doesn't stick to the cup!"
Hearing this, all the ladies present rolled their eyes.
I sighed and thought something big had happened!
It turns out that she just wanted to show off! Suddenly, Mrs. Mu realized. "Why can your daughter buy two kinds of cosmetics?"
Mrs. Yuan put down the teacup and habitually wanted to wipe the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.
But when she had already put the handkerchief to her lips, she suddenly remembered that there was not much lip balm left. If it fell off, she would be heartbroken, so she put the handkerchief down again.
She stroked her temples and looked at the ladies triumphantly.
"The little princess personally painted my daughter Yue's nails, so they are definitely different from your daughter's!"
"What's more, the little princess chose my shop!"
Hearing this, Madam Mu was both angry and envious, and her handkerchief was about to have holes in it.
"Wow, sisters, you came so early today."
The wife of the head of the Su family, Cui, arrived late.
She walked lightly past the crowd, sat on a chair, then took out a glass bottle from her purse, pressed it twice on the back of her hands, and then rubbed her hands together.
While applying hand cream, she smiled happily and nodded to everyone.
"Sisters, please sit down."
Everyone's attention was attracted by her action.
"Mrs. Su, what is this in your hand?"
Mrs. Su slapped her thigh in mock annoyance.
"Ouch! Look at my brain."
She picked up the small bottle and said, "This is called hand cream."
"I've been applying it for a while now. Look, aren't my hands much smoother and whiter?"
As soon as she finished speaking, all the ladies and daughters came forward.
"It's true. Not only the hands, but even the face has become much more supple!"
"I remember Sister Cui used to have spots on her face, but now they are gone!"
"Yeah, the fine lines around my eyes have faded a lot!"
The maid standing next to Cui couldn't help but laughed twice with her hands covering her mouth when she heard what everyone said.
It's true that one person dares to say it, and a group of people dare to believe it.
These things were sent by the lady the night before yesterday, but they have only been used for two days, how can they have such a good effect? But it seems that the concealer is really useful!
She will also buy some in the future!
