Queen of Nongmen: Hexagrams determine the universe

Chapter 380 The old lady is missing

As long as Ye Qiongdan is involved in anything, it is not a good thing!
I hope this incident can make him get out of his body.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see that house. You just need to send Mrs. Huo to that house tonight. The transaction between you and me is half completed. As for the remaining half, that's natural." It's the remuneration. Don't worry, I, Ye Qiongdan, am a person who cherishes feathers, and I will definitely not do anything without remuneration. Otherwise, the reputation I have worked so hard to build at the sweet-scented osmanthus banquet will be ruined."

Ye Qiongdan stared at him and smiled faintly.

"I hope so. I'll go out with you after I've disguised myself." The Number One Thief Under Heaven said vigilantly.

"That's right, be careful when sailing for thousands of years." Ye Qiongdan got up and went to wait for him outside the door.

After a while, the number one thief in the world changed into a mask and walked out of the brothel together with her.

After Ye Qiongdan let him into the rented carriage and led him to find the house, the two went back.

Afterwards, Ye Qiongdan returned to Huo's house, and returned to the small courtyard arranged by Huo's house by the same route.

It was noon when she came back, so the butler asked the small kitchen in the yard to prepare a sumptuous lunch for her.

Ye Qiongdan took a nap after lunch.

After waking up, Mrs. Huo sent a housekeeper over to ask questions.

Ye Qiongdan was sitting by the window, admiring the small bamboo forest behind the yard, listening to the chirping of the birds, looking at ease.

The sunlight came in through the bamboo shadows and bamboo curtains, and fell on her body, adding a few emerald green shadows to her light green dress, like elegant embroidery.

"Miss Ye, how are you thinking? Have you decided what medicine to prescribe for the old lady?" The housekeeper bowed to her, following Mrs. Huo's instructions, showing a respectful look.

Ye Qiongdan picked up a cup of tea on the window sill, gently scraped the foam on the tea with the lid of the teacup, took a sip leisurely, and then said calmly: "What's the hurry? Is it past morning?"

"But the old lady is groggy all day long. If she can take care of her body sooner, she will be more energetic sooner, so that she can spend her old age in peace."

The housekeeper remembered what Mrs. Huo had explained to him before he came, so he quietly raised his head and looked at Ye Qiongdan, hoping to get some clues from her face, so as to guess what she was thinking.

However, Ye Qiongdan always seems to be calm and calm, making him unable to guess what she is thinking in her heart. Maybe she has a well-thought-out plan, maybe she is pretending to be calm, these emotions are "hidden" very well by her , He has been the housekeeper in the Huo family compound for so many years, and he claims to have read countless people, but he still can't be sure what she thinks.

After he goes back, how should he reply to Mrs. Huo?

For a while, the housekeeper was in a difficult situation.

"Housekeeper, you don't know, this medicine can't be prescribed indiscriminately. If I'm not sure, I would definitely not dare to make fun of the patient, not to mention Mrs. Huo is an old man, and her body can't bear the medicine." As the saying goes, medicine is three-point poisonous, if this prescription is more harmful to the body than it is beneficial to the body, if I misuse this prescription on the old lady, isn't that the same as harming people?" Ye Qiongdan explained clearly.

"How long will it take?"

"Then I can't say for sure, maybe a day or two, maybe ten days and a half a month, even if different people suffer from the same disease, the cause of the disease is different, I have to stay with the old lady to observe It will take some time before the right medicine can be prescribed, so that the old lady can wake up as soon as possible." Ye Qiongdan said slowly.

The butler is also someone who knows the inside story, and he knows that Mrs. Huo is going to let Mrs. Huo hit Mrs. Huo hard. There is not much time left for Mrs. Huo. If Ye Qiongdan does not prescribe the medicine before Mrs. Huo dies , then Mrs. Huo's death naturally cannot be blamed on Ye Qiongdan's head.

"Miss Ye, young people, don't think too much about things. If you think too much, you may delay things. Don't you have a lot of things to do in Guazhou? I heard that your fireworks shop is about to open, right? Nie Yuanshan My grandfather also said, I want to invite you to be a guest? Why don't you hurry up and prescribe medicine for the old lady, and you can do other things with peace of mind, otherwise these things will be delayed again and again, and if there are other things at that time Things are piled up, I'm afraid Ms. Ye will be too busy. When you are young, it is a good thing to be decisive, otherwise you will definitely miss a lot of opportunities. Although the older you are, the less courageous you are, but it is difficult for old people to achieve great things " said the butler patiently.

"Mrs. Huo is the most valuable person in the entire Huo family. How can I dare to take it lightly? I dare not be careless about Mrs. Huo's body. I will never prescribe medicine until I am absolutely sure. Please tell Mrs. Huo, if Mrs. Huo can't wait, then I can only blame the little girl for not being good at medicine, and please ask Mrs. Huo to hire someone else." Ye Qiongdan said neither humble nor overbearing.

When the butler heard this, he felt a little bit overwhelmed.

He had no choice but to salute Ye Qiongdan resentfully, take his leave and leave.

After the butler left the small courtyard, he immediately went to Mrs. Huo's place and reported to her the conversation he had just had with Ye Qiongdan.

Mrs. Huo was half lying on the beauty's couch, enjoying the cool breeze fanned by the maid with her eyes closed, and said slowly: "Why else? It can only be because she loves vanity too much and wants to live in Huo's house more For a period of time, use this to raise your own value? Just to prevent her from staying for half a month or a month. Your daily urging is inevitable, otherwise, the master's patience will be exhausted .I don't want this plan to fall by the wayside, you understand?"

"Understood." The butler nodded.

"Ah, very good."

"Isn't Ye Qiongdan on good terms with Mrs. Zhou? Once Ye Qiongdan's head falls to the ground, Mrs. Zhou will be panicked, because this is a sign that I want to fight back. She made me a big joke in Guazhou last time, and I will definitely not forgive her." Pass her! Ye Qiongdan's head is just an appetizer I gave her, the real show has not yet begun!" Mrs. Huo narrowed her eyes and said angrily.

"Then Ye Qiongdan still doesn't need to send someone to watch carefully when he travels every day?" the housekeeper asked worriedly.

"Well," Mrs. Zhou nodded, and said contemptuously, "I'm sorry she can't make any big waves. You go back and urge her again after dinner. If she gets impatient, she will naturally I'm sorry to live in Huo's family."

"Madam is wise." The housekeeper nodded.

So, after night fell, the housekeeper went to Ye Qiongdan's small courtyard at Madam's order, and urged her a few words.

Ye Qiongdan still looked calm and calm, as if he was unmoved in the slightest. Seeing the butler was very helpless, he felt as if he had punched the cotton with his fist.

The housekeeper saw that no matter how much he persuaded Ye Qiongdan, he couldn't make Ye Qiongdan anxious, so he had to leave resentfully again.

This night, the moon and stars were sparse, and insects were buzzing.

Ye Qiongdan slept soundly in the gentle moonlight.

There was a gust of wind at night, and the fallen flowers were blown like rain, and they fell in the pond, where they were pecked by fish in the early morning.

Then a burst of screams pierced the peaceful morning, causing the entire Huo family compound to panic.

Ye Qiongdan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he opened his eyes.

Then, she lifted off the thin quilt on her body, raised the curtain at the head of the bed, and asked the maid outside the door, "What happened?"

"Reporting to Ms. Ye, this servant doesn't know yet, so this servant will come forward to inquire. Please wait a moment, Ms. Ye." A maid said outside the door.

"Okay, let's go." Ye Qiongdan nodded.

Another maid outside the door asked: "Miss Ye, do you want to get up and wash up now? Or sleep a little longer?"

"Get up and wash up. The Huo family is in a hurry right now. How can I sleep late?"

"Yes."

A few maids walked in from the door, holding copper basins for washing, towels, green salt in their hands...

After the Huo family's maid took care of Ye Qiongdan's dressing and washing, the small kitchen in the yard brought out the breakfasts that had been prepared one by one.

From time to time, there would be a burst of bustling voices in the Huo family's courtyard, mixed with scolding and accountability. Even under such circumstances, Ye Qiongdan's dining posture was still very elegant, and his face was still calm and breezy. look.

It was as if the sky was falling, but it couldn't change her color.

The maids in the room immediately felt deep admiration for her concentration.

You know, a few months ago, she was still a country girl.

I really don't understand how she can cultivate herself to such an extent, as if she was born to be the master.

After breakfast, Ye Qiongdan rinsed his mouth with tea unhurriedly, and then spit the tea into the bowl politely.

She picked up the handkerchief on the table and gently wiped the corners of her mouth.

At this time, footsteps came from outside the yard. When Ye Qiongdan heard the footsteps, an expected smile appeared on his lips, and then he slowly raised his eyelashes.

The moment she put down her hands to clap, the door of the small courtyard was opened, and Mrs. Huo, surrounded by a group of servants, hurriedly walked towards Ye Qiongdan.

The moment she saw Ye Qiongdan, Mrs. Huo was about to open her mouth to tell about Mrs. Huo's disappearance, but she immediately closed her mouth again.

Is it necessary to tell Ye Qiongdan about this?
It's enough to secretly find Mrs. Huo back, and then follow the original plan to lure Ye Qiongdan into the pit.

It is absolutely not appropriate to publicize the disappearance of Mrs. Huo.

The more people who know about it, the worse it gets.She has become a big joke in the upper class of Guazhou a few days ago. If Mrs. Huo's disappearance happens again in the Huo family compound she manages, once it gets out, she can kill herself up!

If she didn't kill herself, what face would she have to live on?

After leaving Ye Qiongdan's small courtyard, she must send an order to shut up all the insiders in the entire Huo family courtyard, and anyone who dares to reveal half of it to others will be immediately killed.

She is very confident in finding Mrs. Huo. After all, this is Guazhou. If the Huo family stomps their feet, the whole Guazhou will be shaken. Finding the old lady in Guazhou is really easy.

After all, the old lady doesn't have anyone in her hands now. The few people who were loyal to her at the beginning either got married far away, or died in an accident.

Even if she has a few usable people left in her hands, can she beat her?

When Ye Qiongdan saw Mrs. Huo coming, she took the initiative to salute her, with a decent smile on her face: "Mrs. Huo, why are you so free today? By the way, when I just woke up this morning, I heard some movement outside ,what happened?"

"It's nothing, but a mouse's nest was found in the warehouse where the gold and silver utensils were stored. Mrs. Zhang's newborn granddaughter was bitten into the warehouse by a mouse and was eaten to the bone. The scene was really scary. Mrs. Huo rolled her eyes and immediately lied.
