As a medical concubine

Chapter 140: Accompanying him during the Chinese New Year (2)
Huazhu was criticized and wronged, she shook off his hand, turned her back and ignored him.

After a while, there was no movement behind him. Hua Zhu thought Liao Zicheng had gone away, but turned around to see that he was still there.Unable to explain what was in her heart, she said in a low voice: "But He Liansheng killed Sanye Yan, he really deserves to die."

Like a stern patriarch, Liao Zicheng looked at her firmly and said, "Even if he deserves to die, what about you? All the members of the nine clans related to the Yan family deserve to die?"

Hua Zhu was speechless.In the Northern Qi Dynasty, it was common for one person to commit a crime, and the whole family would be executed, sometimes even babies and children were not spared.

Liao Zicheng said again: "You only listened to Yan Kuan's one-sided words, how can you be sure that there are no blind spots in the whole matter? How many blind spots did Yan Kuan throw away in this case to confuse your vision? Are you still learning?"

Hua Zhu insisted: "He Liansheng is a bastard, he can definitely do such a thing!"

Liao Zicheng looked at the sparkling lake, and said in a long voice, "Everything must be based on evidence. Even if you know that a person has broken the law, you must collect all kinds of evidence to convict him."

Huazhu turned her face away, and said angrily: "You are defending He Liansheng! You are going to report on my uncle! You just want to watch my head move!"

"How do you know that your head will definitely move?"

Huazhu frowned, "If you succeed in murdering the prince, you will be implicated by the nine clans; if you fail, you will be implicated by the three clans. I will die regardless of whether He Liansheng lives or not!" Her aunt is sister Yan Kuan. How can the relationship be spared? "Unless... unless you don't report my uncle, the judge in the yamen will think this is a supernatural case."

Liao Zicheng looked at her inexplicably.

Huazhu turned around and cleared her throat: "Just pretend you didn't notice, okay?"

Liao Zicheng: "Huh?"

Huazhu squeezed her fingers, hesitated for a moment, trembling, and took the initiative to grab his hand. At this moment, it was like holding a soldering iron, and her whole arm began to heat up: "Can you do it?"

Liao Zicheng raised his eyebrows: "You seduce me."

"Who seduced you?" Huazhu withdrew her hand suddenly, gave him a hard look, and said through gritted teeth, "That...your Molan is worth 320 taels of gold. In this case, I will pay you twice, no, three times." ,Ok?"

Liao Zicheng put one arm on the railing leisurely: "It is illegal to accept bribes."

Huazhu pressed her eyebrows, she really shot herself in the foot!

"These are not considered bribes." Putting down her hands, Hua Zhu said with a sneer.

Liao Zicheng flicked his fingers on the railing a few times: "I'm not short of money."

"Then what do you lack?" After asking, Huazhu suddenly felt that something was wrong, pinched the skirt again, and said, "The admiral is an important minister of the court, so naturally he lacks everything. I don't know what little girl can do for you. "

Liao Zicheng glanced at her, as if casually said: "Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, I am not used to Langya dishes."

This can have!Huazhu sat up straight, and said energetically: "The little girl is not talented, but she also knows how to cook a few Fujian dishes. Tomorrow, I will cook a delicious reunion dinner for the admiral!"

At the end, with a twinkle in his eyes, he asked, "Can you help me?"

Back in Qinghe Courtyard, Hua Zhu was in a good mood. As long as Liao Zicheng kept his mouth shut and the people in the yamen couldn't find out the truth about He Liansheng's disappearance after a few questions, everyone would be fine.

After working all night, she felt a little hungry, so Huazhu decided to go directly to the small kitchen.As soon as he crossed the courtyard, he caught a dark corner of the clothes from the corner of his eye.Huazhu withdrew, looked sideways, but saw nothing.

Is it an illusion?
Shaking her head, Hua Zhu walked towards the small kitchen.

In the small kitchen, Mrs. Wu was on duty at night. She was sitting by the stove, holding the tongs in her hand, she was weeping silently as she thought about something.

Listening to her intermittent sniffing and sobbing under extreme pressure, Hua Zhu frowned in doubt: "Mother Wu, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing Huazhu's voice, Mrs. Wu quickly wiped away her tears with the smock, turned around, and said with a smile, "The smoke is too heavy, it's blinding my eyes."

Cigarettes?There is no fire in the stove, where is the smoke coming from?

Mrs. Wu washed her hands with water, and said with a smile, "Miss Biao, are you hungry? This servant will make you a bowl of three fresh noodles, and reheat a cup of oyster soup."

After finishing speaking, he quickly cut up the vegetables.

Seeing Mama Wu's skillful cooking skills, Huazhu's mind flashed, she really fell asleep and gave her a pillow!Tomorrow she will be saved!
"Mother Wu, I'm going to the Admiral's Mansion to cook a meal tomorrow, come with me."

Miss Biao is going to the Admiral's Mansion to cook?Why?Mother Wu didn't understand, but she didn't ask, she was a servant, and the master had orders, so she just did it.Cutting the meat, Wu smiled embarrassingly: "Okay, I don't know...I'm old and ugly, will I scare the admiral?"

Knowing her worries, Hua Zhu said, "The admiral is from a commoner background, he has no airs, so don't worry about bumping into him. Does your hand still hurt?" Chen Jiao stepped on it last time.

Wu was overwhelmed with flattery: "It doesn't hurt anymore! Thank you, Miss Biao, for your concern!" Being stepped on is nothing. The most difficult time to bear it was because she was beaten so hard by a beggar for grabbing steamed buns on the ground that she almost survived.She now feels lucky enough to have food, drink and shelter from the wind and rain.

Huazhu washed her hands, picked up a piece of cucumber and stuffed it into her mouth: "Mother Wu, I will cook your best dish tomorrow. If the admiral is happy with it, I will help you ask about your son and see them. Is it a sergeant in the establishment, if so, try to engrave their names on it. If not, then there is nothing to do, the imperial court also has an imperial court system."

Wu's eyes lit up at first, then darkened in admiration at the end, but after thinking about it for a while, she felt that it was her blessing that Miss Nengbiao could help her so far, so she blessed her body and said: "In any case, The maidservant thanked Miss Biao first."

After eating a few more slices of cucumber, and asking Mrs. Wu not to spread the matter, Huazhu went to Nian Jiangzhu's room.

In the room, Nian Jiangzhu was wearing an apricot-colored thin jacket with gold threads and big gold buttons, and she was wearing a single bun obliquely. She was sitting cross-legged on the kang. Opposite her was Yu Shishi, who was wearing a purple jacket and a goose-yellow Yuehua skirt. .

On the small tea table between the two of them, there was a plate of yellow ingots, a plate of translucent emerald green glutinous rice balls, and a box of mille-feuille cakes as white as snow.
