Chapter 379 Outflanking
The set of jade ornaments was mainly made of green bamboo, supplemented by plum blossoms. It had a peculiar shape, but the workmanship was exquisite. Madam Xu, who was standing by the side, was instantly attracted.

Mrs. Cui saw the ugly face of the princess regent, she thought she didn't like the gift from Cui Hengyue, so she said: "Yuanniang first came back to the mansion, she didn't know how to choose a gift, don't be offended, princess.

"Congratulations on Princess Wang's birthday today. We have all prepared gifts. Princess Wang might as well take a look first."

As he spoke, he winked at Tang Zhi.

Tang Zhi immediately stepped forward with a gift in his hand: "Princess, this is a birthday gift prepared by our old lady for you."

After saying that, she opened the box, revealing the valuable jade Ruyi inside.

"ah--"

Madam Xu exclaimed, "What a beautiful Yu Ruyi."

She took the box and brought it to the regent princess.

The regent princess closed the box in her hand, looked at the box held by Madam Xu, and said with a smile: "This Yu Ruyi is really beautiful, I like it very much."

Then, he thanked Madam Cui again: "Madam is taking care of you."

Then he ordered Nanny Xu to put away the gift.

Seeing this, everyone offered birthday gifts one after another.

The princess regent praised a few words one by one, and then ordered someone to put it away, and the gift from Cui Hengyue, the princess regent ordered Madam Xu to deliver it to her bedroom.

Mrs. Cui noticed this scene and couldn't help asking Cui Hengyue in a low voice: "What did you give the princess?"

Cui Erniang was also curious and leaned over to eavesdrop.

Cui Hengyue glanced at Cui Erniang, and replied lightly: "It's just a set of ordinary jade ornaments."

ordinary?
If it is really ordinary, how long can the Princess Regent watch it?
Mrs. Cui didn't believe this, but she didn't ask.

After the princess regent received the gift, someone took Cui Hengyue and other young ladies to the garden for a walk.

When we got outside, Cui Siniang couldn't help mocking: "Eldest sister didn't discuss with me in advance when she wanted to give a gift, look at your gift, the princess's face changed all of a sudden.

"Grandmother said, today we must be cautious in our words and deeds, and don't let people see the joke.

"The eldest sister has upset the princess before the banquet has even started. Don't implicate us by acting like this."

Cui Hengyue turned her head and looked at her lightly: "Which eye of yours is unhappy seeing the princess?"

You're all stern, aren't you unhappy?
Cui Siniang was so angry that she blurted out: "A discerning person can tell at a glance. Are you blind and unable to see emotions?"

"Really? The princess scolded me? Taught me?" Cui Hengyue asked back.

Cui Siniang froze.

The princess regent didn't scold Cui Hengyue, nor reprimanded her.

"Ah--"

Cui Hengyue sneered and walked out.

"Sister, wait for me—"

Cui Erniang hurried to catch up, and said with a smile: "Elder Sister is really amazing, she can't speak after two or three sentences."

Cui Hengyue glanced at her, but said nothing.

When they arrived in the garden, as soon as they saw Cui Erniang, those little ladies flocked to them: "Erniang, you are here, we have been waiting for you for a long time."

Cui Hengyue took the opportunity to exit the garden and walked along the path.

"Why don't you enjoy the flowers with those little ladies?"

Song Zhuoxing suddenly appeared, holding a fan, looking at Cui Hengyue with a smile.

"Aren't you cold?" Cui Hengyue looked at the fan in his hand.

Song Zhuoxing looked down at the fan and smiled: "Isn't this arty."

Cui Hengyue pursed her lips, and looked around calmly, seeing only four or five servants scattered not far away, she asked in a low voice, "How is Qi Silang?"

"Don't worry, I found two nannies to take care of him day and night, he is fine now." Song Zhuoxing said.

After a pause, Song Zhuoxing asked again: "How are you going to arrange him?"

"Forehead"

Cui Hengyue thought for a while: "I haven't figured it out yet, you take care of it for me first, and I'll tell you when I think it over.

"By the way, are everyone arranged?"

The topic changed too quickly, and Song Zhuoxing was stunned for a moment before he realized: "It's all arranged, and it's guaranteed to be safe."

Yasukuni Mansion.

Su Biwen sat on the stone steps of the stable, looked at the sky and sighed: "Once the Duke and the old lady left, the mansion seemed to be empty, so quiet."

Chen Jiu, the coachman of the fifth room, echoed: "That's right, the remaining masters should not be valued. Even if the Duke and the old lady are not in the mansion, they dare not jump around."

It seems that Cui Quan governs the family very strictly.

Su Biwen was feeling emotional in his heart, and Chen Jiu stood up suddenly: "Such a good opportunity, I have to meet my baby, I'll go first."

Before he finished speaking, he ran towards the gate of the courtyard.

When Chen Jiu's figure disappeared outside the stable door, Mrs. Wen suddenly appeared beside Su Biwen: "Are you ready?"

"Ah" Su Biwen rolled down the stone steps in fright.

The cry was very low.

Lady Wen couldn't help rolling her eyes: "Stop pretending, get up and change."

The eyes are beautiful, and the eye rolls are also beautiful.

Su Biwen felt that Li Bi'er now, no, it was Miss Wen who was much more angry, would get angry, laugh, and roll her eyes.

He laughed "hehe" twice, jumped up, and jumped in front of Mrs. Wen.

Lady Wen stuffed the bundle in Su Biwen's arms, and turned her back: "Hurry up, I'll wait for you in the pavilion outside."

She climbed over the wall the way she came from.

Not long after, Su Biwen and Mrs. Wen walked out of the pavilion with their heads down, and went straight to their destination.

As soon as he walked to the gate of Fuhai Courtyard, he ran into Mrs. Du who came out of the courtyard.

"Stop, what are you doing in Fuhai Courtyard?" Mrs. Du stared at Su Biwen.

Su Biwen bent over, put his left hand behind his back, gestured to Mrs. Wen who was hiding in the dark, and answered Mrs. Du's question: "I'm here to see Deputy Commander Liu. I heard he came to Fuhai Courtyard."

Are you here to find Liu Yang?

Lady Du's eyes moved, and she ordered: "Raise your head."

Su Biwen raised his head slowly, showing a flattering smile.

"It looks unfamiliar, which yard do you belong to? What do you want to do with Deputy Commander Liu?"

Facing Mrs. Du's doubts, Su Biwen remained calm and composed: "I used to work in Zhumanxuan, but after Zhumanxuan was handed over to Yuanniang, we old people were recruited into the mansion by the third master.

"This morning, the third master asked the slave to do something, and said that he would tell Deputy Commander Liu after it was done."

After Cui Hengyue dismissed Zhu Manxuan's old staff, he recruited new shopkeepers and assistants. Out of guilt, Cui Yongxuan arranged those old staff to other shops or residences.

When Mrs. Du knew about this, most of her doubts disappeared: "What did the third master ask you to do?"

"This..." Su Biwen showed a embarrassed expression: "This is the third master's private matter, and the third master will not let it be said."

Hearing this, Madam Du stopped embarrassing him: "Vice Commander Liu is not here, he just went to the study in the front yard."

"Thank you for letting me know, ma'am."

After thanking Su Biwen, he rushed to the front yard.

Lady Wen followed secretly.

"The Duke is not in the mansion, we must guard the study, we cannot take it lightly"

Liu Yang was giving lectures to the guards outside the study, and he didn't notice anyone approaching the study at all.

After finishing his lecture, he checked the lock of the study, and then walked towards the courtyard door.

Seeing Liu Yang walking out of the yard, Su Biwen was overjoyed: "He is only alone, good opportunity."

After saying that, he jumped and rushed towards Liu Yang.

Lady Wen's beautiful eyes turned around to another direction, ready to outflank
