Mugui

In a small room in the backyard of Wanxiangfang, Daishan sat at the table and waited. When she saw Lu Yao coming in, she hurriedly gave up her seat, and pushed a piece of cake on the table in front of her, saying: "Taste it!"

Lu Yao was also polite and ate the cake.

Dai Shan asked: "Miss Lu Yao, have you thought it through?"

In fact, Lu Yao's appearance here today already shows that the thoughts in her heart just lack a reason to make up her mind.

Lu Yao looked at Dai Shan's plain face with big eyes, and asked, "I want to ask, how dare Missy let me be a spy? My brother was killed by her own hands!"

Dai Shan sighed, and said: "Your elder brother came to kill the young lady with a knife, is it possible that the young lady let him kill him?"

She looked at the thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl and asked, "If a masked man comes to kill you, won't you resist?"

Lu Yao bit her lip and said, "But she did kill my brother!"

Dai Shan said: "If the Second Miss didn't hide the identity of your elder brother and Eldest Miss, your brother would not attack the master, nor would he be killed. Miss Lu Yao, don't you understand such a simple truth?"

Seeing that Lu Yao was silent, Dai Shan continued: "If it weren't for the vicious things Aunt Miao did back then, the eldest lady would not have been replaced by the second lady."

She pushed the teacup on the table to Lu Yao again, and said: "Miss has asked Lin Shizi to build a new grave for Lu Ke, which is in Mount Putuo outside the capital. Lu Ke's spiritual tablet has also been enshrined in Putuo Temple. I hope he won't suffer any more in the next life..."

Lu Yao's eyes turned red, with tears in her eyes.

Dai Shan continued: "There are too many people killed by the second young lady, your brother, Qiuyue, Qiuju... She deserves more than a crime! Miss Lu Yao helped the eldest lady to avenge your brother! Besides, the eldest lady also helped You found your missing family."

She looked at Lu Yao, persuasively, "Missy said that she will help you save your family!"

Lu Yao bit her lip, not letting her tears fall, if the eldest lady really helped her rescue her family members in the Sheng family quarry, and returned their whole family's contract of sale, then...she would not seek revenge from the eldest lady !
After a while, she became cruel and said, "Okay, I'll help Miss!"

Dai Shan smiled sweetly, and said, "So, what did Second Miss ask you to come out for?"

Lu Yao told about Yang Fei's need to stockpile food.

After hearing this, Dai Shan frowned slightly, and asked again: "The eldest lady asked, how is the second lady doing after she went to Zhuangzi?"

Lu Yao said: "This incident is very strange. When the Second Miss just went to the villa, she slept day and night, but her face was pale and her body was weak. In addition, the people in the Zhuangzi heard that the Second Miss was not liked by Shizi's wife, so they changed their minds. No way to bully her, Second Miss will be weaker.

"But I don't know when it started, the second lady's body gradually improved, and even her eyes lit up."

Dai Shan asked, "Do you watch over her at night?"

Lu Yao shook her head and said, "Second Miss is only one of my maidservants in Zhuangzi. I guard her during the day, but I have no energy at night. So after I arrive at Zhuangzi, I won't keep watch at night."

Dai Shan thought for a while, then said: "That is to say, you don't even know what happened to Second Miss at night?"

Lu Yao said: "I sleep in the outer room. If Second Miss needs me, she will call me. I am a light sleeper. I can hear Second Miss turn over and get out of bed. But when I was in Zhuangzi, I... slept very Shen."

Dai Shan asked again: "Second Miss's quilts and other things on the Zhuangzi, have they been brought by our residence?"

Speaking of this, Lu Yao immediately thought of something, and said: "In the beginning, it was true, but one day, the second lady threw the quilt on the ground and did not cover it all night. I asked the second lady why, and she said to change the quilt quickly , she smelled blood."

Dai Shan was thoughtful, and after asking some more questions, she let Lu Yao go back.

After Lu Yao left, Daishan visited several grain shops before returning to Duke Hu's mansion.

Yang Mu just came back from martial arts practice, took a shower, and was twisting his hair.

Seeing that there was no one around, Daishan said Lu Yao's words, and then said: "My servant's family used to be a grain merchant, so I naturally know that this grain needs to be stockpiled to prevent a bad year. In the mansion, why do you want to stockpile grain? Could it be that the second lady wants to open a grain shop?"

Yang Mu put down the veil that twisted her hair, and said, "Where did she store all the food?"

Dai Shan said: "It's because of this strange thing that Second Miss rented an inconspicuous yard, and the dozens of stones of grain were piled up in the small yard. But that little yard is at the end of the alley, so it can't be used as a shop!"

Yang Mu's good-looking brows frowned slightly. The grain was not for opening a grain shop, but what was he trying to do?
Can Yang Fei know the price increase of grain this year in advance?

Suddenly, a pigeon flapped its wings and stopped in front of Yang Mu's window, cooing.

Dai Shan walked over, took a small note from the pigeon's leg and handed it to Yang Mu.

Lin Xiao's handwriting was on the note.

"It has been found out that Cui Xiao on the list is a counselor who has lived in seclusion for more than ten years; Fei Bin is a Gu doctor and has never emerged from the Miaojiang for his whole life."

After reading the note, Yang Mu fell into deep thought.

As the daughter of the Yang family, Yang Fei seldom goes out except for some large-scale banquets and poetry gatherings. To put it bluntly, she is a backyard girl.

How did a woman in the backyard know about the hermit counselor and the Gu doctor of Miaojiang?
Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration!
What if Yang Fei was reborn?
If she can travel through time, others will naturally be able to be reborn as well!
Then, everything is right!
Aunt Miao never revealed to Yang Fei that she changed her child 15 years ago, but Yang Fei not only knew her life experience, but also firmly sent Lu Ke to assassinate her.

When she just returned to the mansion, Yang Fei must kill herself, and she thinks that she is very easy to kill.

Yang Fei gave up the obviously more promising Prince Regent's House and did not marry, but insisted on colluding with Li Che.

Plus what's on the note!
Yang Mu took a deep breath. It turned out that Yang Fei was able to negotiate terms with Li Che because of her confidence!
It's just... Now that I know about this matter, I can guess all of Yang Fei's actions!
Since Yang Fei wants to stockpile food, there will definitely be famine!
Now it's summer, the rainy season is about to pass, and the autumn harvest is about to begin, so how can there be famine?

In ancient times, besides drought and flood, were there other natural disasters?

Yes, and earthquakes, locusts, and plagues!

If it was an earthquake or an epidemic, then Yang Fei would not just stockpile food, but prepare medicinal materials anyway.

Yang Mu clenched his fist suddenly, turned to Daishan and asked, "How much silver do we have left?"

Dai Shan said: "Several shops have been opened during this period, and a lot of savings have been used up, leaving only a few thousand taels of silver."

Yang Mudao: "Replace all of them with food, store some in various shops, and put the rest in the house my mother gave me."
