Chapter 114 Sincerity is the ultimate skill
After being severely taught a lesson by Ye Chutang several times, Shuang'er became obedient even though she still had other thoughts.
When hanging out with Ye Anzhi, she would inquire about all kinds of information and always keep an eye on the developments in Liuliyuan.
"Madam suffers from severe pain every night and now looks like a ghost."
Ye Chutang looked at Shuang'er mockingly, "Useless information can't be exchanged for an antidote."
Shuang'er continued, "After Prince An came yesterday, Madam met with the Kong family again. I don't know what they talked about."
Ye Chutang took out an antidote to suppress the Heartbreak Powder and handed it to Shuang'er.
"Don't try to be clever in the future. I don't have much patience with you."
"I know I was wrong, and I won't do it again."
After Shuang'er finished speaking, she happily took the antidote and left.
Ye Chutang got up early today and was busy all morning. He felt very sleepy now and went back to his room to rest.
She slept until dark.
When she woke up, she was a little dazed.
"Two hours! I can sleep so much."
After muttering something, she didn't take it to heart and got up and went to the yard.
Shan'er was preparing dinner.
Seeing Ye Chutang coming out, she quickly picked up the wooden box on the stone table.
"Miss, this was sent from Prince An's Mansion."
Ye Chutang opened the lid of the box and took a look.
A shop deed, a land deed, plus one hundred taels of gold.
"Prince An is quite quick. Take it and put it in my room."
"Yes, Miss."
After Dan'er put away the boxes, he cooked dinner with Le'er.
Ye Chutang was practicing martial arts, while Jinzhi and Juner were doing horse stance beside him.
After dinner, Dan'er cleaned up the dishes while Le'er decocted medicine while sewing clothes for Jun'er.
Ye Chutang went to the backyard to rinse his mouth.
When he came back, he saw that Le'er had embroidered the words "Peace and Joy" on the front of her clothes with gold thread.
She asked, "Is Jun'er's birthday coming soon?"
Le'er was surprised at Ye Chutang's sharpness and nodded.
"My dear Miss, the day after tomorrow is the young master's birthday."
"I see."
After Ye Chutang finished speaking, he took Jun'er to the back garden for a walk to help digest the food.
She asked, "Jun'er, your birthday is coming soon. Is there anything you want or anything you want to eat?"
Jun'er took Ye Chutang's hand, looked up, and asked carefully: "Eldest sister, Jun'er wants to leave the house, is it okay?"
Since he was born, he has never left home due to health reasons.
Occasionally, when he heard his servants talk about the hustle and bustle of the streets and the beautiful scenery outside the city, he was fascinated.
Ye Chutang touched Jun'er's thin face and said with a smile, "Of course."
Jun'er's eyes were curved and his happiness was beyond words.
"Thank you, elder sister. When is your birthday?"
"Dongyue, it's still early."
Jun'er thought this was a good day as it gave him enough time to prepare for his birthday gift.
After taking a walk, the two of them, one big and one small, prepared to go to Ningchuyuan.
Aunt Liu came towards them.
"Meet the young lady, young master."
Ye Chutang had no connection with her and nodded indifferently.
"Auntie, is there something wrong?"
Aunt Liu took the food box from the maid and handed it to Ye Chutang.
"This is the lotus leaf pastry I just made. It is fragrant and refreshing. Please have a taste, young lady and young master."
Ye Chutang did not reach out to take it, but asked bluntly: "What is Aunt Liu's purpose?"
Aunt Liu looked at Jun'er and gave him a gentle smile.
"I don't have any purpose, I just feel that Jun'er is quite pitiful and want to be nice to him."
"Jun'er was even more pitiful before, why didn't you treat him well?"
"The Madam will take care of Jun'er then, so it won't be my turn. The eldest lady will get married one day, but I will not leave the Shangshu Mansion, and I will not have my own children."
Ye Chutang could tell that Aunt Liu wanted to be nice to Jun'er now in exchange for Jun'er taking care of her for the rest of her life.
This sounds like a mutually beneficial relationship, but Jun'er is the legitimate son and it is impossible for him to be handed over to a concubine who was born a dancer.
It's not that she looked down on Aunt Liu, but the social status hierarchy in ancient times was strict.
"Aunt Liu, my father will marry a concubine soon, so you don't have to worry about Jun'er being left alone."
After saying that, she pulled Jun'er away.
Aunt Liu looked at the backs of the two people leaving and said,
"Miss, you misunderstood. I know I am not qualified to teach the young master. I just want to be close to him. Isn't it good to have one more person who cares about the young master?"
Seeing the two men walking without stopping, she became so anxious that she spoke without thinking.
"Miss, whether or not the young master should accept my kindness to him should be decided by him!"
Ye Chutang found it funny and stopped.
"Madam Liu, let me tell you something. If you want to get something in return when your status is not equal, sincerity is the ultimate skill."
After saying that, she looked down at Jun'er.
"It is the aunt's duty to treat the legitimate son well. Even if you accept it, you don't have to return the favor."
Although Jun'er is only five years old, he sees things very clearly.
"Don't worry, elder sister. Jun'er understands everything."
He turned around and walked to Aunt Liu and took the food box.
"Aunt, I also want to eat plum parfait and drink apricot yogurt soup. Please make them tomorrow and send them to Ningchuyuan."
There is no need to be polite to people with bad intentions!
Of course, if Aunt Liu could serve his elder sister as she had done for ten years, he could ensure her prosperity in her later years.
Jun'er returned to Ye Chutang with the food box and handed it to her like a treasure.
"Sister, Aunt Liu is not only a good dancer, but also a good cook."
Ye Chutang took the food box and looked at Aunt Liu who had an unnatural expression on her face.
"From now on, all cakes and sweet soups will be handed over to Auntie."
After saying that, she took Jun'er back to Ningchuyuan.
When Aunt Liu found out that she was being treated like a servant, she was so angry that she almost tore the handkerchief in her hand.
The maid comforted her, "Aunt, don't worry about what the eldest lady said. She can't live in the Shangshu Mansion forever. She will eventually get married. You just have to be patient for now."
"That's right. Let her be arrogant for a few more days. Let's go."
Ye Chutang and Jun'er returned to Ningchuyuan and distributed the lotus leaf cakes to everyone.
Crispy and delicious, with a refreshing aroma.
After eating, Jun'er drank the medicine and Ye Chutang gave him acupuncture treatment.
As Jun'er's health improved, the depth of the needle insertion increased and the pain doubled.
He was sweating profusely from the pain, clutching his clothes tightly, and said nothing.
Ye Chutang wiped the sweat off his forehead and comforted him, "Hold on for a few more days, it won't be so hard anymore."
Jun'er released his bitten lips and forced out a weak smile.
"Jun'er, it's not hard."
As long as he can get better, he can get through any hardship.
After Ye Chutang finished giving Jun'er acupuncture treatment, he went back to his room to take a bath and rest.
Midnight.
Ye Chutang stood up, put all the valuable things in the room into the space, and then went underground to the woodshed.
She also took the dowry that had been taken from Kong Ru.
Afterwards, she went to the home of Chen He, who had questioned her for "crying thief" in the Golden Palace.
Ye Chutang had asked around in the Poetry Pavilion in the afternoon and found out that Chen He was not a good person.
So, she emptied out his mansion without any psychological burden.
After looting the Chen Mansion, she went to the carpentry shop to pick up the goods.
The shop was not far from the Chen residence. Ye Chutang felt that there was no need to waste merit points on escaping underground, so he jumped out from the courtyard wall.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, a sharp sword was placed across his neck.
