Abandoned Women: The First Secret Service Concubine

Chapter 313 Too Despicable

"Who is it? It's so hateful!" Yan Xiuniang's face was livid with anger.

The masters of the men's courtyard were mostly stunned when they saw this.They hope that the clothes made by Fengyao will not be as good-looking as theirs, so that their contribution will take up the bulk, and when they win the laurels in the future, they will be given priority in terms of meritorious deeds.It never occurred to me that such dirty things would happen?
"This is too despicable!" One said with a frown.

The Royal Clothes Bureau is not something that ordinary people can enter. If there is no waist card, even the ministers of the court may not be able to enter.Then, in the Imperial Clothing Bureau, there are only these palace people who come and go, and their craftsmen.The person who put the dead mouse into Fengyao's cage was designated as the person in the Yuyi Bureau.

One person shook his head and said, "It's a pity for such a beautiful dress."

When these clothes were boxed, the most beautiful ones were originally placed at the bottom, which meant to press the bottom of the box.Unexpectedly, these are the ones who are hurt.Feng Yao looked away, walked to another box, bent down and reached out to flip through the clothes.I saw that the inside of the box was clean, and I didn't see any dirt, so I let out a sigh of relief.

"This is really unfortunate." Master Qian shook his head and sighed.

Feng Yao raised her eyes to look at him, but she just sighed, and there was no pity in her eyes.So he lowered his eyelids, straightened his waist and said calmly: "In this case, I will cut some more, leaving only forty sets in total, and choose them into the final customization."

This decision is a bit worrying for Yan Xiuniang and Hu Xiuniang.These clothes were originally cut and sewn by the maids who were sewing, and then embroidered by them stitch by stitch.In this way, twenty sets were subtracted for no reason, and they could not be released. It was like digging out their hearts.

"Ma'am, it's only the ten sets in this box that are damaged..." Yan Xiuniang still wanted to persuade.

The others held their breath one after another, and could not help but hold their palms together and look at Feng Yao.This is related to their contribution, if Feng Yao finally ordered [-] sets, plus the [-] sets from the Big Three including Mr. Qian, how could they have any weight?

"We locked it so tightly, but still got it by villains. It can be seen that some people don't like us and deliberately tell us to restrain ourselves." Feng Yao said, "Let's pick some out, there are only forty sets left, Mr. Qian is willing." How about it?" He said, looking at Master Qian.

Master Qian and the others originally planned to reduce the number of Feng Yao's garments, even if they were beautiful, they couldn't send them all away.And, the more beautiful it is, the more it has to be suppressed.At this moment, seeing that they hadn't made a move yet, Feng Yao had already made up her mind, she couldn't help but feel happy.In particular, Feng Yao's damaged clothes were more exquisite and beautiful than the ones hung up just now, which made them very happy.Therefore, meeting Feng Yao's dark eyes, in order not to go too far, she put on a regretful expression, nodded and said: "Yes."

"Then let's pick out some." After Feng Yao finished speaking, she discussed with Yan Xiuniang and Hu Xiuniang, which ones should be pressed.

According to what Yan Xiuniang and Hu Xiuniang wanted, they picked out the best forty sets.This is also human nature. In order to win the crown, it is reasonable to pick out the best-looking ones.However, Feng Yao had other plans in mind, so she whispered, "Let's suppress the best-looking one."

Yan Xiuniang couldn't figure it out, so she frowned and said, "Ma'am, why is this?"

"I have a hunch that this matter will not be left alone." Feng Yao said vaguely.

Yan Xiuniang was still unwilling, but at this time Hu Xiuniang gently pushed her, and said in a low voice: "We are just embroiderers invited by Madam, and Madam decides everything."

Hu Xiuniang is a person who doesn't worry about everything, as long as she has needles and threads for her to persevere, that would be great.So seeing the two arguing, he persuaded Yan Xiuniang.

"Okay, I don't know anything after all, so I'll just listen to Madam." Yan Xiuniang was angry, sad, and even a little discouraged.Last year, it was because of her persistence that she failed to win the crown and ended up being pointed at by others.This time, Yan Xiuniang didn't dare to take any more risks.

Feng Yao nodded: "In that case, let's press down the most beautiful ones, put the rest in boxes, and send them to the aunt in charge later."

When the three of them finished discussing and were choosing clothes, Master Qian said to the masters of the Men's Court: "Just pick out twenty sets of these clothes."

The masters of the Men's Court did not dare to disobey, so they gathered together, carefully selected twenty sets, put them into boxes and sealed them.Together with Fengyao's box, it will be handed over to Aunt Xiong after a while, and then sent to the palace by a special person, and asked the maids in charge of singing and dancing to wear it and practice dancing.

"The remaining 42 sets will come from us." After Master Qian finished speaking, he smiled at everyone: "Everyone has worked hard these days. There is no need for you to worry about things here. Just go home. We have good news, and we will let you know as soon as possible.”

"Not hard, not hard."

"It should be, it should be."

Everyone exchanged pleasantries for a while, then Master Qian and others left, and the masters of the Men's Court also gradually dispersed.Before leaving, some people looked towards Feng Yao, as if they wanted to say something.However, seeing Feng Yao's expression was cold, Yan Xiuniang and the others also had a bad expression, so they gave up the idea after thinking about it.

Anyway, now I know that Mrs. Feng is the owner of Fengxu Pavilion, if you want to inquire about anything in the future, you can just go to Wuyoufang.It's not like before. They want to inquire but have no way to find out, so they all dispersed.

"Let's go too." Feng Yao checked the box where the mouse had died, but she couldn't find any clues, so she ordered someone to wrap up the contents inside, throw everything away and burn it.He also ordered the palace staff to carry the boxes away, and did not say that they would send them back, so the palace staff understood that she did not want to see these two boxes again.

"Ah!" Yan Xiuniang was very distressed when she thought of the clothes that they embroidered day and night before showing their beauty to the world, and they would be burned.With one hand covering his chest, he felt like his heart was going to be pinched.

Hu Xiuniang hugged the ten most beautiful sets of clothes that had been suppressed, and persuaded her in a soft voice: "If we can make the first one, we can make the second one. Sister Yan, don't be sad."

"That's right." Feng Yao also comforted me, "We have blueprints, and it's just a matter of time to make as many sets as we want. Sister Yan, please don't be sad, hold back your anger , When I find out that restless and kind villain, I will vent my anger on you."

After hearing this, Yan Xiuniang stopped being sad immediately, with a strong anger on her face, she gritted her teeth and said: "If you know who it is, I'll skin him and stretch his tendons!"

"Hehe." Seeing that Yan Xiuniang had returned to normal and her words were harsh, Hu Xiuniang couldn't help but chuckled.

Feng Yao couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, okay, tomorrow I will buy some tools for peeling skin and cramps, and practice for sister Yan."

"Why do you need that? I use a pair of scissors, why can't I do it?" Yan Xiuniang said, still puzzled, her right hand made a movement of holding the scissors out of thin air, and cut it into the air, which made Hu Xiuniang chuckle even more .

Behind the three of them, Qinghuai lowered her head and lowered her eyes, following quietly.She hadn't made a sound since the rat was found in the box.At this time, there is not even an expression of indignation or sympathy with the enemy.

Back in Qingningju, Feng Yao asked Hu Xiuniang and Yan Xiuniang to go back to their room, then turned around and glanced at Qinghuai, and said, "Come with me."

"Yes, ma'am." Qing Huai replied with lowered eyebrows, followed Feng Yao into the room.

Feng Yao sat by the bed, and said to Qing Huai in a neutral manner: "Kneel down."

Qinghuai didn't say a word, and immediately knelt down.

Such a neat attitude made Feng Yao raise her eyebrows involuntarily, and asked, "Do you know why I asked you to kneel down?"

"Madam has never liked Qing Huai. When encountering such a thing, she must think it was Qing Huai's fault." Qing Huai answered very smoothly, without even a trace of concealment or evasion.

Feng Yao snorted coldly and said, "Isn't it you?"

In the entire Qingningju women's courtyard, only court ladies can enter and exit.Among them, the person who entered and exited the most was Qing Huai.Therefore, when it comes to suspicion, Qinghuai is naturally the biggest.Even, Feng Yao intuitively felt that Qing Huai was responsible for this matter.

"Mrs. Mingjian." Qinghuai didn't argue, just lowered her head and kowtowed.

Feng Yao sat by the bed, stared at her coldly, and remained silent for a long time.

The spring is cold and the ground is cold. Even though Qing Huai is wearing thick clothes, her knees are still cold and hard after kneeling for a long time.However, what is this?The drooping eyelids covered the calculation in Qing Huai's eyes.As long as she survives this time, as long as her life is still alive, she will be as wide as the ocean and let the birds fly.

"You go." After a long time, Feng Yao just said.

Hearing this, Qinghuai couldn't help being startled for a moment, then raised her head and said, "Ma'am?"

It is true that she did it cleanly and never left a trace.However, Feng Yao spared her like this, Qing Huai couldn't believe it.Doesn't Feng Yao hate her very much?From the first time I saw her, I have never been warm.Even if she tried to please her, she still couldn't get a sincere smile from Feng Yao.Why didn't Feng Yao take the opportunity to beat her up?
"Let's go, don't appear in front of me again." Feng Yao said coldly, then got up and kicked people away.

Qing Huai watched Feng Yao carry her back, walked to the bed and began to pack the package, bit her lips involuntarily, her eyes became very complicated.Feng Yao, do you know that she did it?Those dark and quiet eyes always carry clear insights, making Qinghuai feel that he has never had any secrets.

However, why didn't such a clear and insightful person start a fight or take revenge in private after suspecting that he had ruined her event?Qing Huai couldn't understand it.However, since there is no need to suffer, that is the best.So he kowtowed two more times and said, "Ma'am, take care." Then he got up and left.

Yan Xiuniang and Hu Xiuniang from the next door came in, looking at Qinghuai's leaving figure, a little surprised: "Madam, do you suspect it is Qinghuai?"

"She is the most suspect." Feng Yao said.

There are only so many people in the Imperial Clothing Bureau, outsiders can't get in at all, and it is impossible for Yan Xiuniang and Hu Xiuniang to do this.Then, there is only one Qing Huai who is trusted and close to them, who is the most suspicious.After all, Feng Yao went out every now and then, and only Qing Huai had the chance to enter her house.If Qinghuai secretly hid the mouse and practiced the ability to pick the lock, it would not be difficult.

"Ma'am, just let her go like this?" Even if Yan Xiuniang liked Qing Huai, she would have guessed that Qing Huai was the only one who was most suspected of this matter.So he thought in his heart that if Qing Huai was brought back, he would have to interrogate him no matter what.
