Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 387 Wu Family
Zhao Wangshu mistakenly bought stolen goods and was depressed for several days, until Yao Shanzhi came and took her to Jinzun Tower to eat delicious food, her mood improved.

The two of them sat by the window. Outside the window was a bustling street with the sounds of hawking and chatting endlessly.

Yao Shanzhi ordered a table full of dishes, all of which were Zhao Wangshu's favorites.

"Why are you so generous today?" Zhao Wangshu joked.

Yao Shanzhi rolled her eyes, "When has this county lady ever been stingy?"

"Okay, okay, you're the most generous." Zhao Wangshu smiled and shook his head, picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth, "Delicious."

As they ate and talked, Yao Shanzhi suddenly thought of something, "By the way, your Lord Yun is investigating a theft case in the palace recently, did you know that?"

"I know, what's the matter?" Zhao Wangshu paused with the chopsticks in his hand.
"Do you know how many items were stolen?" Yao Shanzhi asked mysteriously.

Zhao Wangshu shook his head. "I don't know. He didn't tell me."

Yao Shanzhi moved closer and lowered his voice, saying, "I heard that quite a lot of things were lost, about 50 or 60 items, many of which are rare treasures. The emperor uncle was furious."

Zhao Wangshu thought about how busy Yun Hao had been lately, leaving early and returning late every day, not even having time to talk to her, and couldn't help but feel a little worried, "How is the investigation of the case going?"

"I didn't ask, so I'm not sure." Yao Shanzhi picked up a piece of duck meat and ate it.

"Gardenia, you can't eat only half of the melon." Zhao Wangshu said resentfully.

"If you want to know the progress, ask your Lord Yun. He will definitely tell you everything he knows." Yao Shanzhi said jokingly.

"He has worked hard to investigate the case. I can't bear to bother him anymore, nor do I want to burden him." Zhao Wangshu was afraid that Yun Hao would misunderstand that she couldn't let go of the pair of lotus cups.

"You are such a good wife." Yao Shanzhi joked.

"More than that, I'm also a good mother." Zhao Wangshu raised his eyebrows.

"Speaking of a good mother, I've asked someone to calculate it. The twelfth day of the winter month is a good day. How about holding the contract ceremony on that day?" Yao Shanzhi asked.

"Is it really that troublesome?" Zhao Wangshu asked with a frown.

"What trouble? This is necessary." Yao Shanzhi glared at her. "In the future, I still count on Xiao Yunyu to take care of me in my old age."

Zhao Wangshu looked at Yao Shanzhi's serious expression and chuckled, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. Let's hold the contract ceremony on the twelfth day of the winter month."

Yao Shanzhi then nodded with satisfaction and a smile appeared on his face.

After finishing lunch at Jinzun Tower and paying the bill, the two men came out of the wing room with their servants and met Prince Zuo and a girl in the corridor.

"Greetings, Prince." Zhao Wangshu and Yao Shanzhi knelt down and saluted.

"Princess Yixing, Madam Yun, please stop being so polite." Prince Zuo said in a false tone.

When they reached the stairs, Prince Zuo said politely, "Please go first."

Zhao Wangshu and Yao Shanzhi smiled and said, "Thank you, Prince, for giving way to me."

After leaving the store and getting on their own carriages, Zhao Wangshu finally found a chance to ask Yao Shanzhi, "Whose family is that girl from?"

"You don't know her?" Yao Shanzhi asked back.

"I take care of the kids at home every day, how can I meet her?" Zhao Wangshu said with a pout.

"She is Wu Lin'er, the niece of Concubine Jing and Marquis Yongchang. After Prince Bao passed away, she was brought here and sent to the palace to accompany Concubine Jing. I have seen her several times in the palace." Yao Shanzhi said.

"Is Prince Zuo choosing her to be his consort?" Zhao Wangshu asked.

Yao Shanzhi snorted, "If she's not a concubine, then she's a concubine. In the end, Wu Lin'er is going to serve as an assistant to the Prince's Mansion."

"Is that so?" Zhao Wangshu nodded and said no more.

The carriage drove all the way and soon arrived at the Yun Mansion. As soon as the carriage stopped, Yao Shanzhi couldn't wait to jump off the carriage, "Yue'er, let me help you." "Thank you." Zhao Wangshu held her hand, got off the carriage, entered the second gate, sat in the sedan chair, and went to Linglong Courtyard.

Arriving at Linglong Courtyard, Zhao Wangshu said to Yao Shanzhi, "Go sit in the east room for a while. I'll go in and change my clothes."

"I'm going to hold Yu'er in a while, so should I change my clothes?" Yao Shanzhi asked.

"You can change it if you want." Zhao Wangshu smiled, "I have a new outer garment made for you. It's a little bigger, so it will be just right for you."

Yao Shanzhi is slightly taller than her and has a more muscular build.

"Thank you very much. I'll make you two new ones someday." Yao Shanzhi said with a smile.

"You don't have to pay it back. I can still afford to buy you a coat." Zhao Wangshu pulled her into the room, found a new coat in the closet, and handed it to her.

"Rose red, I like it." Yao Shanzhi changed into her outer clothes and followed Zhao Wangshu to the east room.

The wet nurse had already carried little Yunyu to the east room, and now he was trying hard to turn over on the big kang by the window.

"Godson." Yao Shanzhi ran over happily and picked up the little guy.

Little Yunyu, who was more than three months old, was much stronger than when he was born. He felt heavy in Yao Shanzhi's arms. Yao Shanzhi couldn't help but kissed him twice, "Yu'er, I'm your godmother, do you remember?"

Little Yunyu looked at her with his dark eyes, with saliva hanging from the corners of his mouth, looking very cute.

Zhao Wangshu wiped Yu'er's saliva with a handkerchief and said, "Tell godmother that our Yu'er is a smart baby. We remember it."

He turned around and asked the nurse, "Have you helped him pee?"

"Yes." replied the nurse.

Yao Shanzhi smiled and said, "It's okay. If you get some boy's urine on you, you'll be more blessed."

"You said it, you'll be smelling like urine when you go back, so don't look down on our little Yu'er."

"Why would I dislike him?" Yao Shanzhi nudged Xiao Yunyu's forehead, "Godmother wouldn't dislike Xiao Yu'er, right?"

Little Yuer giggled and drooled again.

Yao Shanzhi used a towel to wipe his hair and asked, "Is he going to grow teeth?"

"No." Zhao Wangshu leaned over and pried open the little guy's lower lip, but didn't see any white spots on the pink gums. "It takes at least four months for a child to grow teeth."

"Really?" Yao Shanzhi let Xiao Yuer sit in her arms, "I remember when my cousin was teething, she drooled a lot and liked to bite people."

Zhao Wangshu found it funny. "How old were you when your cousin started growing teeth? You remember it so clearly."

Yao Shanzhi smiled, "How could I not remember? When my cousin was teething, she was very noisy and kept crying in the middle of the night. My second aunt came to complain to my mother, saying, 'I've never seen such a troublesome child.' So I remember it."

"Were you noisy when you were a child and growing teeth?" Zhao Wangshu asked her with a smile.

"I'm very well behaved." Yao Shanzhi looked proud. "My mother said that when I was a child, I was very obedient. I didn't cry or make a fuss. I would eat well and then sleep. I was very easy to take care of."

While they were chatting about the interesting things about the baby, Wang Cheng came into Yun Hao's room holding a wooden box, "My lord, I have finished everything. This is for you, my lord."

"Thank you for your hard work." Yun Hao said lightly.

"It's all part of my job, so it's not hard." Wang Yan said with a smile.

"Go and get busy." Yun Hao said.

"I'll take my leave." Wang Yan bowed and walked out.

Yun Hao took the wooden box, opened it, and inside was a thick stack of gold and silver bills.
