Tangled

Chapter 99 Entering the Shao Mansion

"Thank you for your hard work, let's use these coins to ask for a glass of wine."

After hearing this, Da Khan came to his senses, collected the money carefully, and hurriedly called the other three to leave while the sedan chair entered.

Shen Qiqi went in with the sedan chair, met many people along the way, but they were all female relatives without exception, not even a shadow of a servant.

The porters who carried the sedan chair had serious expressions on their faces. She wanted to ask a few questions, but she couldn't open her mouth.

After bypassing two gardens and seven or eight corridors, we finally arrived at a small courtyard.

There were still a few nurses and maidservants in the yard, and when the sedan chair settled down, they stepped forward one after another.

"You guys have worked hard, my girl invites you to eat and drink."

Shen Qiqi stuffed a few taels of silver and sent the people away before turning back to send those little maids.

"My girl is afraid of strangers, so I don't need you to serve her. You go down first."

Seeing them sizing each other up in embarrassment, Shen Qiqi took the money and handed it over.

"You guys also go down to have a cup of tea, don't worry, I'm here with the girl, and I won't let her go out until the master comes."

After stuffing the money, things were much easier to handle, the nuns and the little maids pushed and shoved a few times, and finally went out.

Watching them walk out of the courtyard, Shen Qiqi shook her head, judging from the actions of these servants, the Shao Mansion, which is like a big tree, has been gnawed to the heart of the tree.

"Brother, come out quickly, let's go into the house quickly."

Before Shaofu Yin came, they had to decorate, and they must not let him reveal his secrets as soon as he came.

This sedan chair is really small, if it's not a little thinner, I'm afraid I won't be able to sit on it.

When Mu Chengze came down, he kicked the sedan chair as if venting his anger. Seeing that the sedan chair was about to fall apart, his face turned black.

With a big family and a big business, taking a concubine is so stingy, it's okay if you don't have anything else, the sedan chair should be topped with a new one.

It's tattered, and I'm not afraid that Xinna's concubine will break her arm and leg halfway.

"Cousin, go and close the windows tightly. Don't light the candles in the house. It's going to be dark today. If Shaofu Yin comes, I will guarantee that he won't see anyone."

The sound of eating and drinking in the front yard came here, and the Shao Fu Yin was old, so he definitely couldn't have a few drinks. If he came drunk, it was just as he wanted.

"Hide in the cabinet later, don't come out unless I tell you, and don't make any noise."

Knowing that she was curious, Mu Chengze directly chose a suitable place for her to watch a movie after entering the house.

Hiding in the cupboard is something that villains do, but Shen Qiqi didn't object when she heard it, but looked forward to it.

"I was guarding outside, and when I saw someone coming from a distance, I hid."

Shen Qiqi whispered, hearing Mu Chengze's answer, she stood on tiptoe and walked cautiously to the gate of the courtyard.

Gu Tingshu turned over to the wall, and happened to see her ducking and hiding behind the door.

He tiptoed slightly, came down from the wall, walked behind her, and patted her shoulder lightly.

He deliberately stepped on some footsteps, knowing that someone was coming behind him, Shen Qiqi didn't frighten him, but he didn't expect it to be him.

"Cousin, why are you here?"

"Shao's study is surrounded by thugs, and there are still a few locks on the door. Now is not a good time to go in."

It's just a study room, but it's even more important than the imperial study room. Although those thugs are dressed as servants, they are all talented people with unique skills.

A mere governor of Qingzhou managed to find so many skilled people to serve him. If he hadn't been pinched by his lifeblood, it would have been money that touched people's hearts.

"Are there many people? How do we get in?"

"The number of people is acceptable. If you want to go in, you have to get the key from Shaofu Yin first."

Shaofu Yin might not even carry such an important thing with him.

There were several locks on the door, and if he kept the keys separately, it would be very difficult to get in.

The people inside are pretending to be concealed tonight, but they will definitely be discovered tomorrow morning.

If they don't want to scare the snake, they can only open the study door tonight and get what they want.

His serious look made people feel that this matter was too difficult.

Shen Qiqi picked her hands, leaned over and whispered: "If it doesn't work tonight, I can exchange it with Your Highness tomorrow."

"After switching over, I dealt with it carefully. If I think about it, it won't be a problem to earn an extra day or two."

Although she has never tried it, but judging from the lust of the governor of Qingzhou, it is not too difficult for her to coax people for a few days.

She got closer, and the fragrance of her body hit again. Gu Tingshu lowered his head, met her watery almond eyes, and remained silent for a long time.

She's obviously already pretending to be ugly, and the dark spots on her face are extremely realistic, but why is she still so good?
After being stared at by him for a long time, Shen Qiqi's ears felt a little hot, she pursed her lips uncomfortably, and her eyes flickered to the side.

"Cousin, do you want to wait here together, or look around?"

The two of them were just behind the door at this time, the courtyard door was not very big, it was a bit reluctant to hide the two of them, so the two of them were very close.

The auras of the two are entangled with each other, like roots growing on the ground, intertwined little by little, and in the end it is difficult to distinguish between you and me.

"Wait a minute."

Even though she didn't say it, Gu Tingshu could feel her discomfort, he took half a step back and opened the distance between them.

As night fell, the maids and mothers who had gone out to drink came back, Shen Qiqi hid in the house and did not let them in.

"Auntie, why don't you light the lamp?"

The nanny asked outside the door, Shen Qiqi stood at the door, cleared her throat, and said loudly: "Auntie doesn't like to light the lamp, you go away on your own, you don't need to wait here."

The nanny outside the door thought it was strange, but thinking about how a young girl as tender as a flower would want to be a concubine for someone who could be her grandfather, she would definitely not want it.

I don't want to see a master with a face like bootskin, and turn off the light to numb myself. This is also a helpless move.

Thinking of this, Mammy sighed for her in her heart, hesitated for a while, but turned and left.

"Let's all wait outside, Auntie doesn't need to wait."

Fearing that Master Shao would not be able to find anyone later, they did not dare to rest, but guarded in the yard.

Shen Qiqi opened a small slit for a few glances, and seeing that they didn't insist on coming in, she carefully closed the door again.

"Why isn't Ash leaving?"

It's been a while, and the movement in the front yard has gradually quieted down. Master Shao might come over at any time.

Seeing that Gu Tingshu was still standing still, Mu Chengze lazily leaned on the head of the bed and asked while eating some fruit.

It's been a long time since I ate anything, and this Shao Mansion is not a thing anymore, they don't even prepare some food for the new aunt.

Just put a few pots of fruit and a few small plates of breakpoints on the table. The taste is good, but he is not very hungry. He has eaten almost half of it, and he still feels that he can't lift his strength.
