Xiangzhou is so far from the capital that it's impossible for them to send anyone to investigate in a short time.
When they find out she is still alive and want to question Chiyu Lou, Chiyu Lou can easily brush it off by saying that he may have killed the wrong person.
"But what if we get caught?" Zhao Kun asked.
“It doesn’t matter if we get caught. Just say we were fooled by our subordinates. You’ll find out the truth. The person behind this won’t dare to make a big deal out of this in the deep palace. They can only suffer in silence,” Wen Nongnong said confidently.
Zhao Kun had no choice but to admit defeat. "The poster is wise." Anyway, the poster was determined to earn that commission no matter what, but it's certainly not a waste to refuse money that's been offered to him.
Wen Nongnong waved her hand modestly, then asked, "By the way, is there anything else?"
Zhao Kun stood up, opened the box on the table, and showed it to her. "This is a deposit of five hundred taels from the employer. The Second Elder asked me to bring it to the Lord of the Tower."
Wen Nongnong smiled broadly when she saw the glittering gold and said, "You've all had a long and tiring journey." With that, she took out two gold ingots and handed them to Zhao Kun, saying, "Take the brothers out for some good food."
"Thank you, Master." Zhao Kun didn't stand on ceremony and reached out to accept it.
"By the way, the Fourth Elder has already set up a branch of his escort agency in Xiangzhou. You can go directly to them and they will arrange accommodations for you," Wen Nongnong added.
"Understood, then. If there's nothing else, we'll take our leave now," Zhao Kun said.
"Okay, go ahead and get a decent head. Make sure it's bloody." Wen Nongnong instructed.
"Yes," Zhao Kun replied.
"Bai Li, take them over to the Fourth Elder's place," Wen Nong Nong instructed Bai Li as she turned to him.
"yes."
After everyone left, Wen Nongnong touched the gold in the box, feeling quite melancholy.
She has so much money she doesn't know what to do with it.
This is so frustrating.
“Green Beauty,” she suddenly said.
"What is it, Miss?" Green Fairy stepped forward.
"Let's sneak out and get a nice meal," Wen Nongnong suggested in a conciliatory tone.
Green Fairy immediately refused, "No, Miss is pregnant now and can't do anything reckless. Besides, Zhao Kun just said that a lot of martial arts people have flooded into Xiangzhou City and it's very chaotic. At this critical moment, it's best not to go out."
Upon hearing this, Wen Nongnong leaned weakly on her shoulder, "Can you bear to see your young lady grow thinner and thinner every day?"
Looking at her increasingly thin body, Lü Qiao felt very sorry for her and said in a conciliatory tone, "How about this, Miss, what would you like to eat? I'll sneak out and buy it for you?"
Wen Nongnong felt like she was in prison, unable to go anywhere or eat anything.
She knew she was pregnant, and everyone was worried. Not wanting to cause them concern, she reluctantly agreed, saying, "Alright then, I want to eat stinky tofu, cold noodles, and roast chicken..."
"Miss, let's skip the Stinky Bean Restaurant. You're pregnant now and can't eat that," Green Fairy quickly said.
Wen Nong Nong put her hand on her shoulder and urged, "The prince has gone to the military camp and is not in the manor. Even if we sneak out, he won't know."
Lü Qiao immediately replied, "I'll go buy it for you right now. Miss, please wait at home."
Wen Nongnong stuffed the gold into her hand and said with a smile, "Then go quickly, and remember to bring back Li's chilled plum juice when you come back."
The plum juice made by the cooks in the manor was never chilled, because Gu Linchao and Madam Xu did not allow her to eat it too cold.
Green Fairy glanced at the gold in her hand, her lips twitching slightly. "I don't need gold; I have silver on me." She pushed the gold back.
Wen Nongnong said, "Alright then, I'll give you back whatever you spend later, just remember to buy more."
Lü Qiao nodded. "I understand."
Since the young lady became pregnant, she has become increasingly difficult to please.
If the prince finds out that she secretly bought food from outside for the young lady, will he punish her?
Despite her thoughts, she had no choice but to go all out for her mistress's sake.
Because the food in the manor was too refined, the young lady either vomited after eating it or couldn't eat it at all.
Changing her diet might actually alleviate her morning sickness symptoms.
Lü Qiao went out directly through the back door, avoiding Butler Wang.
Following Wen Nong Nong's instructions, she bought all sorts of food she wanted to eat, and then slipped in through the back door.
Wen Nongnong had been waiting anxiously inside for a long time.
She hadn't had stinky tofu in a long time, and just thinking about it made her mouth water.
"Miss, I'm back." Just then, Lü Qiao walked in carrying a large bag of food.
Wen Nongnong's eyes lit up, and after she came in, she quickly went over and closed the door.
Upon seeing this, Lü Qiao's lips twitched slightly.
This young lady is really going all out for food.
However, the smell of the food made her a little hungry.
She laid out the food she had bought on the table.
Then the master and servant sat down and began to eat heartily.
But they had only eaten half of the meal when they suddenly heard servants bowing outside.
"Your Highness."
"Where is the Princess?" Gu Linchao asked in a low voice.
"Rest inside," the servant replied.
Inside the house, Wen Nongnong and Lü Qiao stood frozen, each holding a roasted chicken leg.
"What should we do? The prince is back," Green Fairy mouthed.
Wen Nongnong realized what was happening, took a bite of her chicken leg, and then whispered, "Go out and stop him. Tell him I threw up again at noon and only managed to fall asleep. That way, the prince won't come in again."
Green Beauty: "..."
Why does she feel like she's being pushed out to take the fall?
But she still put down the food in her hand, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and then got up and walked towards the door.
