The concubine Jiaojiao has high means, but the sick prince does not flirt

Chapter 302 The pockmarked woman

After finishing speaking, she changed the subject and continued: "Come here, ten taels of silver is an envelope. All guests can go to the gate of the mansion to collect it with their fingerprints. It is up to you whether you want to receive it or not."

Yingwen agreed and immediately arranged for someone to seal the money.

All the guests were not persuaded by the pockmarked woman, so they all went to get the money with their fingerprints.

The pockmarked woman was not persuaded by myself either, but she was the last one to get it, and she was ridiculed by everyone.

Yingwen held the silver envelope, looked at her fixedly, and asked seriously: "Are you sure you want to get the wedding money with your fingerprint?"

The pockmarked woman showed an embarrassing expression on her face, and nodded hesitantly: "I need money."

"Then you are not afraid of losing your life or becoming a death row prisoner?" Yingwen asked seriously.

The pock-marked woman replied awkwardly: "So many people have received it, so I won't be left out. After all, many people will accompany me even if I die. I am very poor. I need money to eat. I don't care about my dignity or my fate tomorrow. Otherwise I will starve to death today.”

Yingwen smiled faintly: "You are quite smart, you have your own principles, but you know how to decipher them for yourself."

He pushed the silver forward and tapped on the roster on the table: "Write your name, press your fingerprint, if you can't write it, you can say that I wrote it for you, just press it again."

The pockmarked woman thought for a while and replied: "Then please help me write, I can't read, my name is Mei Niang."

Yingwen wrote the words "Meiniang" on the roster, then pointed and said, "Click here."

The pockmarked woman pressed her finger on the red ink pad, and then on the word Meiniang.

"You can take the happy money from earlier." Yingwen closed the roster and raised his voice to ask: "Is there anyone else who has received the happy money?"

All the guests responded one after another, and they have already received it.

Yingwen went into the courtyard with the roster to find Bai Zhi.

The pockmarked woman and the person at the same table were very conflicted and said: "I still don't feel at ease. I will receive the wedding money by leaving my name on my fingerprints. What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd by Xianghe County Lord?"

The people at the same table all laughed at her, saying she behaved well when she got an advantage, but she didn't take it if she was worried.

The pockmarked woman stopped talking and buried herself in her food.

Yingwen handed the roster to Bai Zhi, and also told about the pockmarked woman receiving wedding money.

Bai Zhi pursed her lips and snorted, "I knew she would accept it."

A puzzled expression appeared on Yingwen's face: "Madam, do you know that woman with a pockmarked face?"

Bai Zhi smiled mysteriously: "Go and do your work."

With doubts in his head, Yingwen saluted and left.

Shen Changyan couldn't help asking curiously beside him: "Lady, what kind of medicine are you selling in the gourd?"

Bai Zhi deliberately put on a show: "You will know when the time comes."

Shen Changyan sighed helplessly: "Husband and wife are in the same heart, you don't tell me, it's sad."

Seeing his appearance, Bai Zhi burst out laughing unconsciously.

Today's Shen Changyan is no longer the violent and cold poker-faced Shen Shizi, he is cute like a child.

"Husband and wife are of the same mind, why don't you understand me?" Bai Zhi asked playfully.

When Shen Changyan heard this, his eyes turned to one side, not meeting hers.

After a while, he turned his eyes back, raised his eyebrows and snorted, "I just want to hear from you. You don't have any medicine in your gourd, it's just a mystery."

Hearing this, Bai Zhi couldn't help laughing, neither negating nor agreeing.

At this moment, Yingyi reported.

"Master, young lady, the young master has cleared his suspicions and returned."

Bai Zhi smiled and said: "I know."

The sun was setting and the guests were almost gone.

The pockmarked woman also got up and left with the guests. It was almost the last wave, and she couldn't move anymore.

But no one laughed at her, everyone ate their stomachs full of free banquets.

After all the guests dispersed, Bai Zhi and Shen Changyan also left the White Mansion and returned to Duke Shen's Mansion with gifts in return.

Mrs. Shen and Duke Shen had been standing at the door and waiting.

Seeing the two sedan chairs coming back, Mrs. Shen went up to meet her, helped Bai Zhi get off the sedan chair, and asked with concern: "Zhi'er, is everything okay when you get back home today?"

Seeing her anxious expression, Bai Zhi understood that she must have heard about the poisoning.

She smiled and comforted: "Mother, there is just a small episode, which will be resolved soon, and everything will be fine afterwards."

Madam Shen let go, stroked her chest and smiled: "That's good, I hope this kind of thing will never happen again, I asked your father to strengthen the guards in the house."

Bai Zhi hurriedly waved her hands and laughed: "Mother, there is no need at all, the poisoner has already been arrested."

Madam Shen nodded, but still said: "Be careful when sailing for ten thousand years."

The family came in and had a reunion dinner in the evening.

Thinking that tomorrow she and Shen Changyan would go out to pay homage to his master with Grandpa Bai, and they would be apart for four or five days, Bai Zhi chatted with Mrs. Shen for a while after dinner and talked about their itinerary.

Mrs. Shen heard that there was reluctance behind her, and she didn't stop her. She just held Bai Zhi's hand and sincerely told her: "Zhi'er, you and Changyan must be careful in everything, listen to Grandpa Bai, don't act alone, and return safely."

Shen Guogong also said from the side: "Longyan, the private soldier talisman is in your hand, if necessary, you can use it."

Shen Changyan nodded, and replied: "Okay, I won't use my private soldiers unless it is absolutely necessary. This time I just accompany Grandpa Bai back to the gymnasium, nothing will happen."

Shen Guogong was also worried, but he didn't say much.

The family chatted for about half an hour before Bai Zhi and Shen Changyan returned to their room.

After the two washed up, they turned on the lamp and went to bed.

At four o'clock, there was an urgent cat meowing outside the window.

Bai Zhi then sat up and got out of bed.

Shen Changyan also got up and got out of bed.

The two of them had a tacit understanding. No one said a word. They each put on their night clothes and black scarves.

After everything was packed, the two looked at each other and nodded under the moonlight.

Shen Changyan opened the window, Bai Zhi jumped out first, and then he went out by himself.

Seeing them coming out, the man in black turned around and led the way. The three went straight to the backyard and climbed over the wall.

Leaving Shen Guogong's mansion, the three performed lightness kung fu and walked quickly on the street.

Soon the man in black leading the way arrived outside the Third Prince's Mansion, stopped, turned his head and said in a low voice, "It's inside."

Bai Zhi smiled coldly: "It seems that the most dangerous place is also the safest place."

Immediately, the three of them climbed over the wall and entered the Third Prince's Mansion, and came to a courtyard at the deepest point, where they saw the lights in the house.

For the sake of safety, Bai Zhi pinched the three of them using the invisibility technique and formed a barrier.

Then he got close to the window, and unexpectedly, before the window paper was punctured, the door creaked open.

Bai Zhi was shocked, wondering if anyone could sense their arrival or it was just a coincidence.

She immediately made a gesture to signal Shen Changyan and the man in black not to move.

I saw an old woman coming out of the house, holding a wind lantern and coughing.
