Chapter 37: Fulfilling the lady’s wish
Li Ming: “???”
"What? Who's eavesdropping?" He looked around in confusion.
In the distant Sitianjian, the dean, who was also shocked and had unstable internal breathing, swallowed the blood in his mouth, made a hand gesture, and a thousand paper cranes appeared in his palm.
After a few breaths, a thousand paper cranes appeared in front of Qin Yinyao.
"Master's message paper crane." Li Cheng answered immediately.
The paper crane flapped its wings, and the dean's voice came out: "Little rascal, I am at least your master before you became his disciple."
"Master, it was you who really eavesdropped." Li·Naughty Kid·Ming yelled.
Yuan·Naughty Child·Feng: "Master, you also taught us that a gentleman should be cautious when alone."
The paper crane flapped its wings, but no sound came out.
He looked very angry.
"If you want to accept me as a disciple, you should at least do some research."
Without giving anyone a chance to speak, he said, "This matter is my fault. Since we are all family, I will not offer polite words like apology."
"I can promise Qin girl one condition. You youngsters can continue to play. I have things to do."
"Qin girl, think carefully about what you want. Even if it means giving that evil ghost girl beside you a position, that's fine."
As soon as he finished speaking, the aura from Li Ming floated out and landed back on the paper crane, which flapped its wings and flew away.
Night Wanderer: [???]
Adding fuel to the fire?!
Are you going to order them here?!
"Miss Hua Niang is so highly regarded by the young lady, so it's not impossible for her to be a ghost messenger. However, she is still a powerful ghost, so it's hard to report her to the higher-ups." The Night Wanderer said hurriedly.
How about I call over the idle ghost messenger first, so we can meet and chat. I'll also discuss the matter of Miss Hua Niang with the City God.
"It's feasible." Qin Yinyao nodded.
Being convenient to others means being convenient to yourself.
Li Cheng and his cheap senior brothers showed their partiality and attention to her from the very beginning.
Although this was due to the tragic life experience of her original body, his attitude towards her did not change now that he knew the truth.
They are people you can make friends with.
In that case, please help her out a bit so that if she has any problems in the future, the senior brothers will be able to help her better.
After the Night Wanderer left, Li Hun originally wanted to say something to Qin Yinyao, asking her not to be so aggressive towards Yin Guan, so as to avoid going too far.
But she frowned, her eyes filled with worry and emptiness: "What are you worried about, Junior Sister?"
"Hmm? Nothing." Qin Yinyao smiled lightly: "I was just thinking that my senior brothers should not show their fear later."
She always felt that the City God's words "do what you want" were not that simple.
After she had sorted out the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion and consolidated the rear, she really wanted to go out and take a look to see what was going on.
But these things cannot be told to "mortals".
"Don't worry, little junior sister. This is not the first time we have dealt with the Yincha. Although we have never met him, he should be similar to a ghost." Li Ming was ignorant and fearless.
Yuan Feng nodded in agreement: "Fifth Junior Brother is right. Little Junior Sister, just rest assured, we will be able to hold our ground and will not embarrass ourselves."
For the sake of my junior sister, I can't let those evil spirits look down on me.
While they were chatting and laughing, Qiu Sui came out from the woodshed with the testimony written by Nanny Qian in her hand.
Qin Yinyao glanced at it a few times, and after getting a rough idea in her mind, she handed it to Nanny Xia: "Mammy, take a look too."
What a First-Rank Military Marquis' Mansion. It appears to be moral on the surface, but in reality it is a filthy den where people eat each other.
"Master, don't be upset. With this testimony, I can sue you as a slave. Although I can't skin the Marquis and his wife, it will still be of some use."
Nanny Xia comforted her.
Qin Yinyao curled the corner of her mouth and said nothing.
She had no intention of changing the feudal dynasty at first. After all, it would be extremely difficult to overturn years of wealth and welfare on her own.
Therefore, even the servants who served him were not beaten or scolded at will, but the etiquette of kneeling and serving remained unchanged.
But on that paper, even a maid with some dignity could bully a maid of lower status than herself.
The small stewards could even take advantage of the Marquis's mansion to bully men and women outside.
"Madame Qian wasn't very helpful and knocked over the teacup, nearly injuring the young lady. But considering she's old and a member of Madam's family, I won't scold her."
Nanny Xia explained Nanny Qian's crime and punishment to Qiu Sui: "First, lock her up in the woodshed and starve her for three days. When the young lady has calmed down, we can find a human trafficker and sell her off."
This was the reason he wanted to tell others, and Qiu Sui wrote it down carefully.
There were no servants or guards in the courtyard, so the job of escorting people had to be done by someone else.
Nanny Xia said respectfully, "Please keep a close watch on me. No one is allowed to visit me, let alone harm me."
Shadow Five and Shadow Six bowed, "Don't worry, Ma'am. We will keep a good eye on him."
"Send someone to keep an eye on Hua Sui. When the prince comes in the evening, if she wants to go and report the news, let her go." Qin Yinyao warned.
The first time she went to the City God Temple, Hua Sui told her when she came back that Dong Ning had been harassed and punished to kneel.
The little girl with red eyes from crying, who looked anxious and helpless, had the barrage of comments above her head.
[A skinny horse that has not yet been released from its cage, good at scheming, a hidden chess piece sent by the Marquis's wife.]
She knew very well what a skinny horse was and what fate it was.
He took advantage of the situation to collect this hidden chess piece, actually he also wanted to give Hua Sui a chance to escape and survive.
Otherwise, when it is time to "come out of the cage", the marquis' wife will send it to the marquis's room and make it a pet.
Not to mention life and death, even every frown and smile is out of our control.
He tacitly agreed that Hua Sui had seen a lot in the yard, and also tacitly agreed that she had tipped off Qin Yinshi last time.
Out of sympathy for her life experience, I can give her one or two more chances, but not a third one.
"Yes." The secret guard in the distance agreed to the task.
Meanwhile, seven or eight of the "idle" ghost messengers had also arrived. After greeting Li Cheng and the others, they all froze in silence.
It was only after Li Ming found a topic of conversation that everyone started chatting privately.
Qin Yinyao did not get involved, but sat quietly on the railing of the pavilion, drinking tea and eating preserved fruits.
As the sky grew darker, the ghost messengers made an appointment to have a drink with Li Cheng's brothers, said goodbye to Qin Yinyao and left.
Chunqi and Xia An were tidying up the pavilion when Nanny Xia, who had been to the kitchen, came back and asked, "Master, do you want to have dinner first, or wait for His Highness to come and have dinner together?"
"Leave a portion of food for His Highness, and everything else remains the same."
She estimated that Prince Long would not arrive until eight or nine o'clock in the evening, and she didn't want to wait there on an empty stomach.
Eat and drink enough, take a shower, and change into clean pajamas.
She would wait for His Highness to come, chat with him, and admire the beauty of the Dragon Prince for a while. After His Highness left, she could go to bed directly.
"I'll find a carpenter to install a swing for me in the flower garden." Qin Yinyao suddenly said.
Sitting there is boring.
Nanny Xia took note of it.
When it was completely dark, Hua Niang took the talisman given by Ruochen and went to get all the account books from the Marquis's mansion warehouse.
Ying Er and Ying San also went to the ancestral hall under the cover of night and stayed there for a long time before returning.
When I came back, Qin Yinyao had already eaten.
He glanced at them and asked, "Where did you go?"
"I went to fulfill the lady's wish." Ying Er said truthfully.
Qin Yinyao stopped eating with her chopsticks, her eyes shining. "Did he go and beat up that old man, the Marquis? Is his face bruised and swollen? Are there any bruises all over his body?"
Ying Er looked embarrassed: "...I...I didn't do it that cruelly."
