The tyrant opposite the door

Chapter 623 634: Eat the inside out

Yunran didn't sleep well that night, and she tossed and turned several times. This was the first time she had done such a thing, so she was inevitably a little uneasy.

It wasn't until dawn that I felt sleepy.

Chun Xin came in quietly, saw that the empress was still sleeping, and withdrew lightly, and said to Mrs. Zhang: "The empress slept late last night, and she hasn't got up yet. Mrs. Zhang has something to report later. Bar."

Where did Mrs. Zhang dare to say no, she thanked her with a smile and quietly withdrew.

The entire main courtyard was silent, and even the sweeping lady slowed down her movements. The servants standing under the eaves were all standing there tall and straight. She didn't dare to look too much, and walked out quickly. .

Mrs. Zhang is the internal steward of the chief steward, so she can have her own small yard at the corner of the chief steward's mansion.

At this time, she came back in a hurry, and saw Mrs. Mao standing up, and asked her anxiously, "How is it?"

Mrs. Zhang shook her head, "Your Majesty rested late last night, and she is still awake now."

Mrs. Mao frowned and sat back again, looked at Mrs. Zhang and said, "We are also old friends, you have to tell me the truth, is there really nothing wrong?"

Mrs. Zhang has a good relationship with the wives of several big families in Wanma City. After all, she is the internal steward of the general manager's mansion, and they ask her for many things, so they are naturally trying to curry favor.

However, it is difficult to say that there is a genuine friendship.

Mrs. Zhang ordered a little girl who had just grown her hair to make tea, and then she smiled and said to Mrs. Mao, "I don't understand what Mrs. Mao wants to know. You just said that." It’s not clear, it’s not clear, it’s not easy for me to find out for you.”

Mrs. Mao gave a "spit" in her heart, but she still had a smile on her face. She sighed helplessly and said, "Isn't it the last time I saw your empress, I always feel a little uneasy. We are businessmen, we are afraid of offending nobles, That's why I wanted you to inquire about it."

These words are not true, Mrs. Zhang thought that if she really had the heart, she should have delivered the message when she went back last time.

Asking now, there must be something that she doesn't know about.

Mrs. Zhang frowned slightly and thought deeply, she did not notice anything unusual.

The empress's main courtyard was filled with people brought from the palace, and it was not easy for her to get some news here.

Moreover, helping people find out news is a matter for the queen, which is related to her family and life, how could Mrs. Zhang agree so easily.

If it weren't for Mrs. Mao's generosity, she really didn't want to bother.

However, now it is obvious that Mrs. Mao has something to hide from her, and Mrs. Zhang is annoyed in her heart. She doesn't know what the Mao family is planning. This is the most disturbing thing.

"Your Majesty is a very kind person. Thinking about it, Mrs. Mao may have misunderstood it. Ever since Your Majesty lived in the Chief Manager's Mansion, there has been no one in the mansion who has not failed to sing praises." Mrs. Zhang said, taking a sip of tea , looking quietly at Mrs. Mao's expression out of the corner of his eyes.

I saw Mrs. Mao frowning slightly, but quickly opened it again, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, "Really? If this is the case, I can feel at ease. I am afraid that I will not know when I will offend my mother, so I asked You inquire about it."

The smile on Mrs. Zhang's face faded a little, she stood up and said, "Mrs. Mao is not worried, but there is nothing wrong with Mrs. Zhang. I still have an errand here, so I can't sit with you for a long time."

Mrs. Mao hurriedly got up to say goodbye, and before leaving, she gave Mrs. Zhang a bank note.

After the person left, Mrs. Zhang opened it and looked at it. The denomination of 100 taels was quite generous.

With the banknote in hand, Mrs. Zhang felt more and more that something must be wrong with the Mao family, otherwise why would she be so anxious.

However, even if something happened, it didn't have much to do with her, as long as she served the empress well and sent her away happily.

As soon as the queen is gone, her life will be comfortable.

Yun Ran soon found out about Mrs. Mao's visit to Mrs. Zhang.

I got up a little late in the morning, and I simply drank a bowl of porridge for breakfast and put it down.

After entering the general manager's mansion, Yunran secretly watched the movement of the general manager's mansion as a guard, so naturally Mrs. Mao's whereabouts could not be concealed.

Yun Ran was not surprised, Mao Shi and Jiang San's family were big local families, and it was only natural for a housekeeper like Mrs. Zhang to get acquainted with them.

However, after inquiring about her, Yunran was not happy.

Looking at Chunxin Yuehua, he said: "If that lady wants to ask you for news again, just tell her that I am very free, reading books every day, and raising flowers for entertainment."

When Fei Ji made a move, the Mao family must have doubted whether it was her order.

She just made such an appearance, and the Mao family would not suspect her if they wanted to come.

In this way, Qiuhe and the others can act a little safer.

Sure enough, when it was getting dark, Mrs. Zhang came and went, and before leaving, she deliberately asked Chunxin to chat with them, so she turned the corner to inquire.

Chun Xin followed his mother's instructions, and the lady left with a smile on her face. Chun Xin looked at her but wished he could peel her off.

This old guy who eats inside and out!

On the second day, there was no news from Qiu He and the others, Yun Ran waited patiently.

Hearing Chun Xin's words, he was not angry at all, but just smiled and said, "Let Fei Ji urge you tighter."

If Fei Ji's side is tight, the Mao family won't be able to sit still, right?
In the early morning of the third day, Chun Xin hurried into the inner room. Yun Ran was dressing up, and he heard Chun Xin say, "Your Majesty, yesterday the granary delivered grain, five hundred shi, and then the granary was closed."

Only five hundred shi?

Yun Ran squinted her eyes, "What did Fei Ji say?"

"Deputy Manager Fei said that there will be food deliveries tomorrow," Chun Xin replied.

Yun Ran frowned. It seems that the Mao family's reinforcements have arrived?

It's time for Qiuhe and the others to come back, one by one, so as to confuse the enemy's sight.

"Alright, let's see how much food the Mao family can produce tomorrow." Yun Ran said, it depends on whether Qiuhe and the others can come back before tomorrow.

If you can find out the business of the Mao family, and find out where you traded with Xue Dingzhen, then you can arrange a move.

Sure enough, at night, Qiuhe came back, looking very tired, but his eyes were bright.

However, Yunran didn't see Lin Shuwei's shadow, so he inevitably asked.

Qiuhe said: "The Mao family is very cunning, they split into two paths, I led people to follow one way, Shuwei led people to the other way, hasn't she come back yet?"

Yunran's heart sank, and he shook his head, "I haven't come back yet."

Qiu He was also taken aback, "How is it possible, could something unexpected happen?"
