Chapter 438 Bai Kou's Plan

"Okay, okay, talk outside if you have anything to say, Bai Kou was also shocked today, let her rest quietly, the doctor said that she needs to rest these days."

Mama Pang started to make a fuss.

"Also, except for the people in our Zhongming Institute, you are not allowed to tell the truth to anyone else. No matter who asks, just say that I will stay in bed for three to five days and hang my arms for a month." Bai Kou immediately added, "Little Yezi Just stay with me, you all go and rest."

The maids nodded in response and left in a file. They couldn't even imagine how angry they would be when the young master came home in the evening when he found out about this matter.

Before returning to Jicheng Hall, Mama Pang told the maids of Zhongmingyuan not to tell the truth even to the girls of Jicheng Hall. It ruined Bai Kou's plan.

The girls repeatedly promised to keep their mouths shut, but they knew that Bai Kou had strict requirements on his mouth. If such a big incident happened today, wouldn't it mean that if anyone broke his mouth, he didn't want to do it here anymore.

After Mama Pang finished her instructions, she went to Jicheng Hall, and when she turned her head, she saw Aunt Rong coming over in a hurry to inquire about the news. Knowing that the three of them, master and servant, would not talk to others, she didn't stop her, and asked a girl to lead her there. Visiting Bai Kou, widen her heart.

Because Bai Kou was sitting bored, as soon as Mama Pang and the others left, she went to work in the study, while Xiao Yezi lit a fire and decocted medicine in the tea room. I still need to eat some soup.

When Aunt Rong walked in, she saw Bai Kou was writing with her head bowed at the desk, her left arm was hanging on her chest, and her shoulders were tightly tied.

"Bai Kou, aren't you seriously injured and bedridden?!" Aunt Rong walked over in surprise, while the girl who brought her back quietly retreated.

"Auntie, have you been lied to?" Bai Kou stopped writing and raised her head, her brows and eyes crooked with a smile.

"Liar?! What's going on?" Aunt Rong approached the table, dragged a chair by the wall, and sat down.

"I've offended someone. Someone wants me to die, so I have to act."

Bai Kou said it easily, but Aunt Rong suddenly felt a chill, and the hairs on her neck seemed to stand on end.

"Who is so bold? Dare to assassinate the servants of Duke Ye's mansion in the street?"

"I'm an official servant, and the price for killing me is the least. No one will complain for me. At most, I will only make trouble for a few days. After a month or so, if he finds another good girl, he will forget about me."

"Nonsense! Official servants are the master's best confidant candidates. If you are not good for you, it is tantamount to being bad for the prince. Someone must be trying to trick the prince, but you are too capable, and I am worried that you will get in the way, so I want to get rid of you. It's not necessarily that you offended someone outside. Of course, the worst possibility is that the son offended someone outside, he is the prince of the country, and it would be too expensive to settle accounts with him, so he will find you to vent his anger."

"But I didn't die. My little leather bag was used as my shield. I just suffered some flesh wounds."

"It's your fate." Aunt Rong swept away her sorrow, raised her hand to poke Bai Kou's forehead, "What are you going to do next?"

"Healing up, what else can I do? The business of the women's tea room is going to die this month. The guests pay to come and taste my handicrafts, but my arm needs at least half a month's rest, and I have to send someone from tomorrow. Visit those customers who have placed orders one after another to see if they are willing to cancel the reservation. The tea room will refund double the reservation fee. Miss Hui has two chess competitions this month, and it will not be possible. Tea reception."

"You're hurt like this, so you don't care about the sparring or not. Let's cancel it altogether. I'll refund the double booking fee to the guest."

"How can this work? The money was collected by the teahouse, and it fell into your pocket. How can I ask you to refund the money?"

"The chess competition is only for Hui'er. It is for her to interact with people more and recover better. The teahouse makes money, and Hui'er makes money for her health. Why don't I get any benefits? Don't argue with me. This matter is so settled, I will pay the money."

"That won't work. I can't make the decision on my own. I have to ask the prince for instructions. He will definitely not agree, and I won't lie to him. Otherwise, he will look at the account book and find out by himself, and he will scold me to death."

"I know you can't make the decision, so I won't make things difficult for you. I'll tell Shizi when he comes back tonight."

Aunt Rong had a loving smile on the corner of her mouth, and she suddenly realized that she raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"I was thinking just now that you openly and proactively refunded the appointment fee from door to door, wouldn't that let everyone know that you were assassinated and injured? In fact, that's your idea, you want the whole capital to know that you were assassinated! "

"Auntie is wise, that's right, that's what I think. If someone wants to make it difficult for me, I will make it difficult for the mastermind behind the scenes. It's okay to come and go without indecent assault."

"With such a big fanfare, many people will immediately think of what you did during the Chinese New Year. Your assassination can easily be regarded as revenge against you by the person behind the abduction of the emperor's grandson."

"That's right. If I were to die, it would be written in the government's case file that the thief cut the package and stole it, and I found out that I had accidentally killed him and died miserably. But if I didn't die, the situation would be reversed. I would have the advantage and have the initiative to act. My aunt thought Do you know my next plan?"

"No need!" Aunt Rong caressed her chest and shook her head frequently, "Don't tell me, I don't want to know, I just need to know the reason why you refunded the reservation fee, and it will eventually be passed on to the palace as you expected. Don't talk later, I won't listen."

"Oh, auntie, to listen to gossip, you must at least listen to something fresh and warm."

"I'd rather listen to the gossip on the street than listen to your nonsense with me, in case I get emotional and say it out one day."

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it."

"The thoughts you want to confide are waiting for the son to come home. You can tell him that I should go back. You should have a good rest. Don't be too tired. You are now a wounded patient. Don't take it lightly just because you are young." .”

"Yes, yes, I will definitely recover from my injuries. Thank you, auntie, for coming to see me."

Bai Kou gently caressed the wound on her right abdomen and wanted to get up to see off the guests. Aunt Rong gave her a glare and didn't let her stand up. She put the chair back against the wall and left. Write a statement to the government. If a murder happened on the street, the government will definitely come to intervene.

Xiao Yezi decocted the medicine and brought it to Bai Kou to drink, and helped her untie the triangle scarf on her shoulders, then went to the kitchen to make her a bowl of cold noodles for lunch, and served her lunch break.

Not long after the lunch break, the eldest lady came back from the palace, and the carriage went directly from Babu Lane to the gate of Jicheng Hall. Mama Pang welcomed the lady into the bedroom and waited for her to wash her face and change clothes, and reported to her about Bai Kou's attack.
