Chapter 47 Multi-Maintenance

And when only Yingtao and Lizhu were left in the room, the two of them came over.

Especially Cherry, who asked with some concern as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Why didn't the young lady tell you directly that you asked me to tamper with the silver? Madam Dou and the eldest young lady are worried. I'm afraid you will have trouble managing your house in the future."

She is a smart person, so she can understand the situation just now.

Lizhu on the side didn't say anything, but nodded to express her confusion.

Instead, Du Jingyi smiled, with a playful and lively expression.

When his body softened, he lay sideways on the kang, found a comfortable position, and spoke while supporting his head with his hands.

"I just want to leave a good impression on them. I don't want people to know that I poisoned people as soon as I took over the family and say that I have bad intentions."

This one sentence made both Cherry and Lizhu laugh.

Indeed, when they thought about what the five rooms might face next, the three of them, master and servant, were overjoyed.

It seems like he is enjoying the show and not finding it boring.

"Look at how they treasured the silver just now. I'm afraid no one would believe it if I told others. Could they be someone in the Duke's Mansion?"

There was some disdain in Lizhu's tone.

"To put it nicely, they are relatives in the Duke's Mansion, but to put it bluntly, aren't they just leeches and borers? Haven't we seen them when we were at home?"

When it comes to this, Lizhu feels indignant.

"I originally thought that only the people in my family were spineless, but now it seems that these two families in the Duke's Mansion are even more disgusting."

After saying that, he wiped his hands on his clothes.

If the situation wasn't urgent, she wouldn't be willing to touch the fifth old lady.

Seeing her expression, Cherry next to her also laughed helplessly.

"Okay, after all the hassles this early in the morning, I guess the young lady is sleepy again. Let's make the bed and let her sleep for a while."

When Du Jingyi heard this, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up, and he spoke to Yingtao in a coquettish and obedient manner.

"I still like cherries the most."

With just one sentence, the two maids started laughing as well.

Du Jingyi has loved and been able to sleep since he was a child.

In addition, my body has not fully recovered from the intense battle the night before, so it is better to get more sleep.

So Yingtao and Lizhu waited on her, helped her take off her hairpins and rings, changed her clothes, and then she took a nap in broad daylight.

The people outside didn't understand what was going on and thought she was frightened, so they didn't want to disturb her.

After Nanny Dou made the almond milk soup, she hurried over to bring it over.

But after hearing that his young mistress had gone to bed, the worry in his eyes became more obvious.

I just don't know how to start.

So he asked someone to leave the things behind and went outside to talk to Butler He.

The two of them have worked together to protect the East Garden for many years. It has been so in the past and will be so in the future.

What Butler He was thinking coincided with what Madam Dou was thinking, so the two of them met in the corridor.

"How's the young lady doing?"

As soon as Butler He saw Madam Dou, he started to ask, with some worry in his tone.

Nanny Dou's face was not very good either, and she replied.

"He's probably a little sad. When I went over just now, I heard Cherry say he was resting again."

Butler He looked up at the increasingly dim sky and could only let out a short sigh.

"The young lady is still young, and she is not as steady as the eldest lady in her work. We should be more careful about these things in the future."

When Madam Dou heard this, she nodded and agreed with him.

They always felt that these jackals, tigers and leopards in the backyard would swallow Du Jingyi.

As he was speaking, he saw his general rushing back from outside. His face did not look very good and his eyes were full of anger. He came up to him and asked.

"Where are the people from the fifth room?"

Obviously, Shang Ji knew about this.

Butler He glanced at Wang Ji, the servant serving in Fuqiu Courtyard, and understood what was going on.

It must be that the eldest lady's wife got to know the news and was afraid that the young lady would not be able to control the situation, so she sent someone to ask Shang Ji to come back, so she quickly replied.

"She was sent away by the young lady."

"No trouble?"

"Nothing happened. It's just that the young lady gave them 100 taels of silver, so Qi Er's matter was covered up."

Hearing this, Shang Ji's quick steps suddenly paused.

Sometimes, he even felt that these were not his relatives at all. They seemed to have no bones in their bodies and just liked to play dead.

When it drinks human blood and gnaws human bones, it wishes its whole body was covered with mouths.

So he picked up his pace again, even faster than before, and ran towards Xitang Courtyard.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Nanny Dou originally planned to go forward and follow, but was stopped by Butler He who was standing nearby.

"Let the general take a look, and we'll just do our own thing."

When Madam Dou heard this, although she was a little worried, she did stop and did not follow.

In Xitang Courtyard, Shang Ji and his personal follower Luo Yuan hurried back.

I happened to meet Cherry who was quietly embroidering a handkerchief in the corridor.

Her embroidery skills cannot compare with Lu Ju's, but it does not prevent her from passing the time when she has nothing to do on weekdays.

She was a little surprised to see her general rushing back in such a hurry.

After all, I saw him last night.

Although his expression was a little hurried, it was much better than his current sullen look.

Without giving Yingtao time to think, she quickly stood up and bowed to Shang Ji.

"This servant greets the general."

"Well, get up."

When saying this, Shang Ji looked towards the inner room, but his feet did not move.

Seeing this, Cherry took the initiative to explain.

"General, are you going in? Madam got up early today and felt a little tired so she went back to bed."

After saying this, he seemed to have thought of something and deliberately added another sentence.

"The young lady did not feel any discomfort before going to bed."

Hearing this, Shang Ji's worries eased a little.

After a moment's silence, he glanced at Cherry and then spoke.

"Tell me everything that happened today."

"yes."

He didn't immediately look for someone to blame, but he wanted to understand the matter clearly before making further plans.

Cherry didn't hide anything and told everyone everything that happened in the hall.

She spoke carefully and Shang Ji listened attentively.

It was not until Yingtao mentioned the one hundred taels of shiny silver ingot that he frowned slightly.

There was a hint of doubt and inquiry in his eyes as he looked at Cherry, and then he asked directly.

"Did the young lady tamper with the silver?"

Cherry exclaimed and couldn't help but admire him.

The same thing fell into the eyes of the eldest young master's wife and Madam Dou, and they were mostly worried.

But the general was able to see the whole situation and realized that something was unusual.
