The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 308 The Woman in the Study Room
Cui Hengyue walked in a hurry, and collided with a beggar as soon as he left the alley. The beggar fell backwards and knocked down the woman holding a basket behind her.

The basket fell to the ground, and the eggs inside rolled out and shattered all over the floor.

"sorry"

Cui Hengyue got up, and was about to apologize, but found that the beggar had already got up and ran away. Thinking of what Shui Fu said that the most common trick used by thieves was to bump people, she quickly touched her waist.

"My eggs—"

The woman looked at the broken eggs all over the floor, her heart ached, and she got up to find the culprit to settle the score.

"How do you walk? Are you blind?"

The woman rushed straight to Cui Hengyue, grabbed her hand and said, "You pay for my eggs."

When Cui Hengyue found out that her money had been stolen, she felt furious, and she opened her mouth and said, "I didn't hit it, so why should I pay for it?"

The sound stopped abruptly.

Not far away, a group of soldiers was coming here, and it was Cui Minxing who rode in front on a horse.

Cui Hengyue immediately lowered her head, broke away from the woman's hand and ran away.

"Hey, don't run away, pay for my eggs, you brat."

The woman's scolding sound became smaller and smaller, Cui Hengyue ran towards the Yasukuni Mansion with all her strength.

Seeing that Cui Hengyue left safely, Xie Yuan lowered his head, mixed into the crowd on the street, and left here quickly.

But at this moment, Wu Yu was standing in the pavilion outside the city, anxiously looking in the direction of the city gate.

Suddenly, a horse appeared in his vision, and the person on the horse was the guard who had left before.

The horse came to the front, the guard jumped off the horse, and said: "My son, the Duke said, do as Cui Yuanniang said."

After Wu Yu listened, he gave the order to set off.

So, everyone got on their horses and left in the dust.

"Damn it, it's dawn."

Cui Hengyue stood outside the Jingguo Mansion, cursed in a low voice, and detoured to the east gate.

It was the closest to Jinglan Court, and she could only take the risk of gambling once.

However, just as she avoided the hidden guards outside, climbed over the wall cautiously, and jumped into the yard, a sword was placed around her neck.

"who?"

The guard slowly moved from behind Cui Hengyue to her face. When the guard saw her face clearly, he was shocked: "Yuanniang, why is it you?"

"hey-hey--"

Cui Hengyue thought there was only one guard, and was about to knock him out when he was distracted, when she heard a familiar voice behind her.

"Who is the thief?"

The guard put away his long sword, and said respectfully to the man behind Cui Hengyue, "Report to Commander Bai, it's Yuanniang."

"Yuan Niang?"

Bai Qi walked up to Cui Hengyue suspiciously, and his face sank immediately: "Yuan Niang, you are so brave, how dare you sneak out of the house?"

He was shocked, he didn't even know when Yuan Niang left the mansion?
Cui Hengyue secretly thought it was unlucky, and she was glad that she didn't put makeup on her face today, otherwise how would she act secretly in the future?

"It's Commander Bai, what a coincidence." Cui Hengyue laughed, trying to get away with it.

Bai Qi stretched out his hand to stop her: "Please also ask Yuan Niang to come with me."

Cui Hengyue looked around, there were a total of eight guards, and these guards were not her opponents.

However, once the attack is made, other guards in the mansion will rush over, and the whole mansion will be alarmed at that time, and the matter will not end well.

Cui Hengyue weighed it in her heart, then bent the corners of her lips at Bai Qi: "Okay."

At this time, the servants in the mansion had already started their day's work, Cui Hengyue lowered his head, trying not to let others see his identity.

She followed Bai Qi all the way to the study in the front yard, looked at Bai Qi standing at the door of the study and said respectfully: "Master Guo, I have something to see."

Then, Cui Quan's voice came from inside: "Wait."

His voice was low and muffled, as if he hadn't woken up yet.

Cui Hengyue was surprised: Lord Jingguo didn't go to court?
Suddenly, she remembered that the eldest lady had mentioned to her yesterday that today is a holiday, and Duke Jing does not have to go to court.

Since you don't have to go to court, why did you sleep in the study in the front yard last night?

It seems that I haven't heard the news of the quarrel between Lord Yasukuni and the old lady. Could it be that their relationship is very bad?

While thinking wildly, Cui Quan's voice came from the room again: "Come in."

Bai Qi looked at Cui Hengyue and said, "Yuan Niang, please wait a moment."

After finishing speaking, he winked at the guard behind him, then pushed open the door and walked in.

After he entered, he closed the door smoothly, but Cui Hengyue still saw the fleeting embroidered shoes.

There is a woman inside.

A trace of surprise crossed Cui Hengyue's face.

She lowered her head and thought about it. Lord Jingguo had concubines before, but those concubines were all dead, and it was never heard that Lord Jingguo had concubines.

Who is the woman in the study?

With the old lady's ruthless means, the woman who can appear in the study in the front yard must have passed her eyes and got her permission.

If so, the status of this woman is definitely not high, perhaps...the servant girl of the mansion.

Cui Hengyue began to search for the maids in the mansion in her mind.

At this moment, the door opened again, and Bai Qi appeared in front of her: "Yuanniang, the Duke asked you to come in."

Cui Hengyue withdrew her thoughts, stepped over the threshold, and walked in.

She looked around calmly, and found that the pair of embroidered shoes were gone. Apart from the three of them, there was no fourth person in the study.

"Squeak!"

Hearing the sound of closing the door, Cui Hengyue turned her head and saw that Bai Qi closed the door, then walked to Cui Quan and stood beside her, keeping her eyes on her.

Cui Hengyue twitched the corners of her mouth, stopped a foot away from Cui Quan, and saluted politely: "Greetings to grandfather."

Cui Quan's face was livid, and he shouted: "When did you leave the mansion?"

"Two quarters of an hour ago." Cui Hengyue lied without blushing.

"What are you doing out of the house?"

"I'm hungry, go buy something to eat."

Seeing that Cui Quan didn't believe it, she stretched out her hand and shook it: "I just ate steamed cakes, if you don't believe me, you should smell it."

Cui Quan's face darkened immediately.

Bai Qi took a peek at Cui Quan's face, walked to Cui Hengyue's side, lowered his head and sniffed her sleeve, and then returned to Cui Quan's side.

"My lord, Yuan Niang does smell of steamed cakes."

Cui Quan's face became even uglier: "When did my Duke Yasukuni's mansion run short of your food, and you actually sneaked out of the mansion to buy steamed cakes?"

Cui Hengyue quickly explained: "Duke Yasukuni's mansion didn't short me for food, I just had a sore wound and couldn't sleep after waking up, so I wanted to go out and buy some food when I was bored.

"I know this is against the rules, so I'll go back and copy the rules of the mansion three times, and I will never do it again."

Bai Qi: "."

He has been in the Yasukuni Mansion for so many years, and he has never seen a master who punished himself on his own initiative.

three times?It was too easy, the Duke would not agree.

Sure enough, after a brief silence, Cui Quan said in a deep voice, "Go back and copy the rules of the house a hundred times, and leave them to me tomorrow."

"Ah, grandfather, a hundred times is too much, and it's too late to hand in tomorrow." Cui Hengyue couldn't help crying.

Cui Quan glared angrily: "If you say one more sentence, you will copy it two hundred times."

Cui Hengyue hurriedly said: "One hundred times is one hundred times, I will go back and copy right away."

Seeing that Cui Quan's expression softened a little, Cui Hengyue said cautiously: "However, everyone is getting up now, if I go back to Jinglan Garden dressed like this, I'm afraid... it will hurt the face of the Yasukuni government.

"How about, how about my grandfather getting someone to prepare a set of skirts for me, and I'll go back to Jinglan Garden after I change them?"

Cui Quan glanced at the inner room subconsciously, and then ordered Bai Qi: "Take Yuan Niang to the next room."

Cui Hengyue glanced into the inner room, and followed Bai Qi out of the study.

Not long after, a maid with a pretty face walked into the next room with a tray on which were neatly folded dresses.

"I have seen Yuan Niang, this is the dress prepared by the Duke, and I ask Yuan Niang to change it into it."

Cui Hengyue sat without moving, and ordered: "Raise your head."

The servant girl paused for a moment, then slowly raised her head.

is her!
