The Prince's Humen's Wife

Chapter 43
Dongyue has always been straightforward, Li Chaochao saw that she was really angry, otherwise she would never be so shameless, she said coldly in her heart: "How dare you even hurt my people, I will naturally have to repay you twice to lose this tone , It’s just that you’ve been wronged these days and you have to go home and recuperate for a while, so as not to startle the snake.”

"But if I'm not here, who will protect the girl?"

"You can rest assured that it is."

Li Chaochao patted her hand, and Dongyue knew that the fifth girl had an uncompromising temperament, so she didn't say any more. After a few instructions from Mother He, Dongyue came out with a small burden alone while there was no one else in the yard. When she got out of the yard, the mother in charge saw it, and she only said that she was going home to do some errands.

In the evening, the three maids came back from the outside, and the mother-in-law also cleaned and cooked. Xia He, Qiu Shuang, and Xiang Chen greeted Li Chaochao. Yet?"

Li Chaochao was about to sip the tea from Mother He, when Xia He said again: "Miss is suffering from the wind and cold, so it's better not to drink vegetarian tea. Xiang Chen will go and make a cup of Baihua red date honey for the girl."

Before Dongyue woke up after being knocked out, and saw that Li Chaochao was gone, she hurried back to the yard. At that time, Mother He had been guarding the door. She didn't dare to say anything, just let Dongyue go back to the East Chamber quietly, and then announced to the public that the girl had suffered from the cold, so the other three maids and two women didn't know about it.

Li Chaochao was very pleased with the handling of this matter, with a caring nurse by his side, and his heart was warm.

Xiangchen served the soaked water and said, "Girl, Su Ji has announced that your incense powder is sold out, and now the incense powder you made by yourself is sold at a price of one thousand taels per baht."

"Good job, thank you." Li Chaochao took a sip of honey water to moisten his throat, "In a few days, I will ask someone to dismantle the goods, so that Qiushuang will not secretly save money for us."

Before Li Chaochao ordered Qiushuang to take all the silver to buy the face powder back, she went to talk with Boss Su in person, and she lowered the price by [-]%. All this was beyond Li Chaochao's expectation, but it was also reasonable middle.

At the beginning, Li Chaochao asked Qiushuang to stay because she was the daughter of the accountant in the house, and she had been fascinated by the account book since she was a child. After such a test, Qiushuang did have experience in investment and financial management.

Qiushuang on the side showed a little shyness on her face, and said with embarrassment: "Girl, stop teasing the servant girl. The servant girl just feels sorry for the girl who wants to make incense powder. Your craftsmanship is worth every penny."

"Look, at the beginning I thought this girl was a dull gourd, but I didn't think she could be eloquent." Li Chaochao smiled lightly and said, "According to what you said, what I make is not a powder, but gold."

Everyone in the room was amused, and Li Chaochao asked Xia He, who had been silent all along, "Is it still lively today?"

Xia He served Li Chaochao in her previous life, but she was only a second-class maid at that time. One, I just didn't reuse this girl.

Of course, Li Chaochao calmly changed whoever hadn't done a few stupid things to the point of crying in his life, so Xia He was worthy of her trust besides Mother He.

Xia He bowed her head and said: "The servants went to the front today and heard some news."

Li Chaochao signaled her to continue.

"It is said that the second young lady got married today in an empty sedan chair. She was kidnapped by a thief. Both the eldest lady and the master went to the magistrate's house. When the third aunt heard the news, she passed out and she hasn't woken up yet..."

Li Chaochao didn't think there was anything new after hearing this, but Mother He's heart shuddered. She didn't go out in the yard all day today. It turned out that something big happened in the mansion. She always felt that this had something to do with Miss Wu being taken away. Otherwise, how could even Jinniang be taken away?

Mother He saw that Li Chaochao was not wary of the three servant girls about the gold and silver matters, she thought to herself, the villain last night must be from this house, if the spies were one of them, then the people in other yards must also know about Wu Girls can do things like spices and powders, or are they not them at all, otherwise how can Miss Wu be so relieved of them?
Just thinking about it, Li Chaochao tilted his head and said softly: "Mother He, tell the woman in the kitchen to cook lighter dishes these days."

Mother He's heart trembled, how could she have forgotten that there were two rough envoys, and hurriedly said: "Yes."

"Did Dongyue go home?" Li Chaochao asked.

Mother He replied: "I left in the morning. She asked the old servant to confess to the girl. He will come back after he finishes his work at home."

Li Chaochao asked again: "Did she give silver taels before she left?"

"It's all prepared according to the girl's order."

Li Chaochao nodded, and it was only when the others knew that Dongyue had gone home to deal with matters, and no one asked any more questions.

"Then let Xia He keep vigil tonight."

Li Chaochao asked them all to go to work, leaving Mama He alone, "Now the house is in chaos, so people in the yard are less likely to go out, and even if they go out, they will ask why. At this time, no one should care about Aunt Liu, mother. Just find someone to take care of you."

Mother He agreed, and before leaving the door, Li Chaochao instructed again, "Outsiders come to visit the door and only say that I have not recovered from typhoid fever."

The room fell silent, and Li Chaochao checked the people in the yard again. She never had any doubts about the maids, but the two women were the most suspicious.

On the second day, everyone in Zhenjiang heard that the daughter-in-law of the prefect's youngest son was kidnapped and sent back naked, and they didn't know who they had offended!

Fortunately, the magistrate was benevolent and did not reject the marriage because of this little humiliation, and immediately ordered a reward for the arrest of the villain to vent public anger.

Said it was public anger, but not to save face, Li Chaochao listened to Xia He's inquiring news, thinking that the rumor spread to thousands of households overnight, and it must have something to do with Lan Lingyu.

Xia He said again: "The Da Furen and the Elder Master just came back this morning, I saw from a distance that their faces were very ugly."

"Didn't the magistrate say that they don't want to pursue it? Who are they giving face to? Could it be that they are worried about Jinniang?" Mother He thought for a while in doubt, then snorted, and retorted to herself: "I don't believe they have such kind intentions." .”

Li Chaochao pursed his lips and smiled lightly, "I said I wouldn't pursue it, but after being hit on the face, how will the swelling go away in a short time, and whether he will remember it or not, only he knows."

Mother He and Xia He didn't answer the conversation, if you keep in mind the Elder Master's career in the future will definitely not be easy.

In the next few days, various news came in one after another. The third aunt clamored to see Jinniang every day, but was locked up by the lady angrily. , Third aunt is crazy!
