The Queen Mother's Kitchen Knife

Chapter 22
Xia Lian stood behind Tang Jingyue, tugging on the young lady's sleeve, crying non-stop.She cried for the eldest lady's hardships, and for the retribution of Dian's mother and daughter.Cry, cry out all the grievances for so many years, for yourself and for Miss.

Seeing the chaos, the abbot hurriedly invited Tang Jingyue into the side room to discuss, and asked Tang Jingyue what she wanted to explain.

"5000 taels," Tang Jingyue said, "Second Miss and the girl's bodies were damaged, the reputation of my Duke Huguo's Mansion plummeted, and even I was shocked... Cough, cough, cough!"

The face of the abbot of Wan'an Temple changed drastically.Looking at Tang Jingyue's face and figure, one could tell that the eldest lady of the Huguo Gong's mansion was in poor health. The abbot was afraid that Tang Jingyue would cough and confess here, and Wan'an Temple would be completely ruined.

Tang Jingyue took a sip of warm tea, and after she felt comfortable, she said to the abbot who was suppressing her depression, "5000 taels, let's add some dowry to the second lady and the girl. Sigh, the two girls are still so young...can you still marry?" Go out? Master abbot, is 5000 taels short?"

I don't know how many years Wan'an Temple can save a 5000 tael.

Hearing that Tang Jingyue wanted to raise the price, the abbot hurriedly said "Amitabha": "I feel guilty, and I would like to donate 5000 taels as compensation."

"Mm, Master really has a bodhisattva's heart." Tang Jingyue nodded, her voice was soft, but she stabbed the abbot's heart with a knife.

This is called an empty glove white wolf.

……

After the onlookers in the small courtyard finally dispersed, Dian Shi also wrapped Yang Xinnan tightly and took her back to the next courtyard.When this kind of thing happened, they dared not go back to the Duke's mansion, and only asked Yang Xinnan to take care of her body, so that the Duke's anger would be less.They go back.

Tang Jingyue was about to enter the room when a gentle female voice called her from behind: "Miss Hua!"

Looking back, it turned out that it was the first lady who spoke for her just now.This lady prefers Tang Jingyue to her address, which is "Miss Hua" instead of "Miss Hua".

Tang Jingyue didn't bend down, didn't smile, and said sadly, "What's the matter, madam?"

Mrs. Li is warm-hearted. She only thought of Tang Jingyue as a kind and beautiful woman who was bullied and kind. She didn't care about Tang Jingyue's indifferent attitude. Instead, she stepped forward to hold Tang Jingyue's cold hands with distress: "Miss Hua He is kind-hearted, but not everyone in this world is a good person. My husband is the new head of the household department, Mr. Li Yunli. If Ms. Hua has any difficulties in the future, just send someone to Zhang's house, as long as my aunt can help Yes, I will definitely help you!"

Warm and soft hands wrapped Tang Jingyue's slender hands very warmly.

Looking at Mrs. Li's kind smile, and then at the hands they shook, Tang Jingyue forced a smile, thanked her, and politely sent Mrs. Li away.

If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would be happy about this timely help, but Tang Jingyue just wanted to laugh meaninglessly.A mere wife who is in charge of the household department can lend a helping hand to Miss Yi in the Duke Huguo's mansion.

Ah.

But this Mrs. Li is really nice.

The next day, the Lord Protector who received the letter sent a housekeeper to pick Tang Jingyue back to the mansion in person.

The housekeeper didn't even ask Dian Shi and Yang Xinnan a word, as if they wanted to let them survive in Wan'an Temple.Even Yang Fengrui, who was only five years old and knew nothing, was cruelly ignored.

Tang Jingyue carried 5000 taels of silver in her pocket, and she was quite satisfied with the harvest of this trip.

……

In the Prince Regent's Mansion, the guard knelt down beside Jing Zhihao, and replied respectfully: "Report to the lord, there is no suspicious person among the people who have been in contact with that little beggar in the past two days. The basic necessities of the little beggar are also the same as usual." Generally, apart from buying a white pancake occasionally, there is no expense for two taels of silver."

If there is no cost, it means that the little beggar is not willing to spend.The reluctance to part with the flowers proves that the contact between the mysterious messenger and the little beggar was one-off, and that the little beggar was just sending a letter, and the little beggar was not lying.

Bathed in the sun, there seems to be a faint fragrance of flowers in the air.Tomorrow is the agreed peony hanging in front of the door, but there is no longer a peony in the Prince Regent's Mansion.

For some reason, my eyes are a little sore.

Jing Zhihao closed his eyes, raised his head, and let the bright sunlight dye the supposedly dark world into orange-red-gold and bright colors.Somewhat hot.

Tomorrow, no peonies will be hung.

He wanted to see what he could do.
