Chapter 48 Finding Wealth in Danger

"The Ninth Prince's biological mother is of low status, so this is all she will be like in her life. Don't expect anything bad from her."

Old Madam Shen was not optimistic about the Ninth Prince, and her Jiaojiao deserved better.

Shen Jiao frowned: "Mom, but His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi, everyone says he is the living King of Hell, if... Jiaojiao is afraid!"

Madam Shen whispered, "Jiaojiao, what are you afraid of? So many people are here today, even the Crown Prince is here. If things get out of hand and he doesn't give you an explanation, it will be hard to stop the gossip!"

"Besides, he knew that he had arranged the banquet for you. Since he came, he must be interested in you. What do you have to worry about? Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk. Jiaojiao, mother is planning this for you."

Old Madam Shen held Shen Jiao's hand and comforted her softly. Shen Jiao nodded heavily: "Mother, I understand."

"Jiaojiao, don't worry. Even if it doesn't work out, he will think he has done it with you and will definitely marry you."

Madam Shen was very confident. After the mother and daughter discussed all the details, Madam Shen went to make the arrangements.

Since it was a matchmaking party, there were naturally sessions for men and women to meet and play. The only thing that was a bit awkward was that none of the ladies brought their unmarried girls with them. Although several ladies brought their second sons, they didn't want their children to marry a fool like Shen Jiao.

I asked the people around me to tell the sons from the outer courtyard early on that they didn't like Shen Jiao and there was no need to meet her later.

Fortunately, a few young ladies from Mrs. Shen's family, the Li family, came to accompany Shen Jiao, so Shen Jiao used the excuse of taking them out for an outing to go to the garden.

There is actually nothing fun to do in the middle of winter.

Shen Jiao found a greenhouse and arranged for her cousins ​​to stay there to drink tea and eat snacks, and then she went to another courtyard.

Han Yu walked over to Gu Nianchu and whispered a few words to her. Gu Nianchu nodded: "Yes, let Han Shuang fulfill her wish."

Xie Xilan went to accompany the Crown Prince to stroll in the garden, while Gu Nianchu accompanied the Gu family and the Xie family back to her own Begonia Garden.

"Chu'er, the actions of this Marquis' Mansion are really getting more and more..."

Liu's face was full of disdain, and the other people also looked down on the Marquis' Mansion.

"Let them do whatever they want, we just have to watch the show."

Gu Nianchu smiled and said, "It's rare for my sisters-in-law to come to my place. I have prepared some delicious food for you. Come and try it."

Gu Nianchu's people served fragrant tea and snacks.

The young ladies were all picky eaters and could tell right away that these were all good stuff.

"Chu'er, this tea of ​​yours is from the Cloud Top, right? It is said that this tea grows at the Cloud Top. That old tea tree is thousands of years old, and the annual output is only a few dozen kilograms. Where did you get it from?"

Mrs. Gu Yu, the eldest daughter of the Xie family, stared at Gu Nianchu and said, "Our Duke's Mansion only received a pound of food from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and we just tasted it."

Gu Nianchu coughed twice and said, "It was just a coincidence that someone gave me a few pounds. Sisters-in-law, take some back to try later."

Gu Yu pointed at Gu Nianchu and said to the others, "Do you think Chu Er is hiding something from us?"

Liu also smiled and said, "My sister-in-law is right. Our General's Mansion, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi, sent someone to deliver a pound of food. I didn't expect Chu'er to have several pounds here."

Both Liu and Guyu were the ones in charge of the household. After they said so, it seemed that there was something wrong with Gu Nianchu's tea.

Several people stared at Gu Nianchu with smiles, waiting for her to explain.

Gu Nianchu slapped her head and said, "Are you planning to force a confession, sisters-in-law? It's just that I spent more money to get it. I have earned hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from the Marquis' Mansion. Now that I have money, I can naturally get everything." Several young ladies didn't believe it, but seeing that she was unwilling to say anything, they didn't force her.

They all had guesses in their minds.

"Chu'er, where did you hire this dim sum chef? I think the dim sum tastes the same as the ones at Qi Xin's House."

Little Xie commented on Gu Nianchu's dim sum: "This level is comparable to that made by the imperial chefs in the palace."

Mrs. Xie is a foodie, so if she says that the food can rival that made by the imperial chef, then it must be true.

Gu Nianchu was a little surprised: "Really? I didn't know, I just wanted to ask the people below to hire a pastry chef to make it. If Third Sister-in-law likes it, then I can take the chef back."

Han Chan next to her kept winking at Xiao Xie, asking her to refuse.

Little Xie saw Han Chan behind Gu Nianchu shaking his head at her. She thought it was funny and wanted to try it: "Okay, thank you, big sister. Third sister-in-law likes this."

Han Chan was almost dying of anxiety. She bared her teeth at Xiao Xie and mouthed to her, "Your Highness the Prince of Qi! Your Highness the Prince of Qi!"

Little Xie chuckled and said, "Big sister, forget it. If I take your cook away, my mother and two sisters-in-law will punish me when I get home."

Gu Nianchu tried to persuade her not to be polite, but Liu smiled and said, "Chu'er, you don't need to persuade her. Don't you know your third sister-in-law? As long as it's food, there is nothing she doesn't like. If she takes everything she likes home, then our general's mansion will have to support hundreds of cooks, and we can't afford it."

Xiao Xie and Wang both smiled and nodded, and Gu Nianchu gave up.

They sat around the fire, brewing tea and chatting, and time passed quickly.

Han Yu and Han Shuang, who have been keeping an eye on the Shen family's mother and daughter, send someone to deliver a letter. The fun is about to begin.

Gu Nianchu would naturally take the Gu family and the Xie family to the front row to watch the show.

Old Madam Shen had already brought a group of ladies to Bi Yu Pavilion, which was Shen Jiao's courtyard.

There was not a single maid in the yard, it was empty.

Madam Shen asked Madam Li in a stern voice, "Madam Li, what's going on? Didn't you say that something happened to the Third Miss? Where is she?"

Nanny Li was also a little surprised. She had clearly sent someone to lead His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi to the Bi Yu Pavilion and watched him enter the room where the Third Miss was.

Where are the people now?
"Madam, the third young lady went to Tingyu Garden."

A maid ran over in a hurry to report: "Old Madam, please save the Third Miss quickly. If you go too late, the Third Miss will die!"

After the girl finished speaking, she ran towards Chao Tingyu Garden.

Tingyu Garden was originally occupied by Aunt Bai and her daughter Shen Yun. After Aunt Bai left, only Shen Yun lived there.

Old Madam Shen frowned slightly. Tingyuyuan had indeed arranged a good show. Today, Tutor Wang would have a fait accompli with that bitch Shen Yun.

Madam Shen looked extremely anxious: "Ladies, please come with me to save my son!"

The group arrived at Tingyu Garden in a mighty manner. Someone blocked them at the door, but they were pulled away by the maids led by Nanny Li, and a group of people rushed into Tingyu Garden.

Old Madam Shen led her people straight to Shen Yun's boudoir and said, "Yun'er, are you okay? Mother is here to save you!"
