Concubine can't do it

Chapter 56 Protect Her With Your Life

Wushuang looked for her as if she had lost her soul, thinking that something serious had happened.But after hearing what Hua Wei said, she found that although this matter was completely different from what she thought, it was indeed a big deal.

1000 two hundred taels of silver.This is really not a small amount.Ordinary people's families may not be able to earn this kind of money in their entire lives.It is also a great thing to be able to see it once.

I heard that Luoxiangfang spent a lot of money when it bought Huakuai. 500 taels, that was an unprecedented price.But Luoxiangfang has always been like this, buy one and redeem five, the higher the original price, the more valuable the person who bought it, the more valuable the person who bought it, then the buying price would have to be multiplied by five times, but it would be an even more expensive transaction.Therefore, it is basically impossible for girls who come to Luoxiangfang to redeem themselves as long as they are receiving customers.

Either wait to be bought out, or wait for the day when Luoxiangfang doesn't want you.

But that day was almost the end for them.He is old and helpless, and has no way out other than relying on the money he saved in Luoxiangfang.

What's more, the money saved will be deducted according to the number of recorded guests and given to Luoxiangfang.If the money in hand is not enough to pay, it can only be sold again.How miserable it is to be sold to a certain house as a slave.

So she lost Zhang Chi's protection, and voluntarily paid double the original price for selling herself, and reduced herself to a rough servant girl.In the eyes of others, she is very stupid, but they don't know that she just chose a less difficult retreat for herself based on the relationship she made with Dong's mother in Luoxiangfang for several years.

In the past, she foolishly devoted herself to Zhang Chi, but after so many years, she didn't get any benefits.In the end, I lost both my body and my heart. I got very little, but I lost nothing.

She felt that Hua Wei's persuasion was right.If I lose anything, I can't lose the only integrity I have left.And this fate.She can't live in vain after living for so many years, and can't casually throw her life to someone who is not worth it.

"Don't worry. Let's all think about who has entered your room." Wushuang persuaded calmly.

Hua Wei is not so flustered now.It's just that my heart is blocked.After all, when she came here, Hua Zhirou only saved 500 taels of silver.Including the money she sold herself back then.Before losing the silver today, she had already saved 900 taels.Even if the money Helian gave her was added to it, it took her a lot of energy and courage to get the 400 taels of silver.

But now there are only 700 taels left.

When she lived so poorly that she broke a tael of silver into sixteen-petaled flowers, she felt that money was the same thing, and it was not enough for her.But when she gained a lot and lost a lot all of a sudden, she still lost it inexplicably. This feeling was like being dragged from the air to the ground, and she fell hard, but even the person who dragged her was No one can be found.

After thinking for a long time, I have no idea.Hua Wei couldn't cry, so she could only sigh and said, "Except for myself and Lu'er, no one knows where I put the money. I only have the key to the drawer. The drawer has not been destroyed. Why? Someone will take something from it."

Besides, she checked last night, and both the bank notes and bank notes in the drawer were there.

Wushuang shook his head after hearing this: "If the deer came here, he would definitely be stopped at the door. According to the regulations of Luoxiangfang, those who redeem themselves are not allowed to set foot on the threshold again."

Hua Wei's room is the second one up the stairs.The first room is used to store things and is accessible to everyone.Wushuang's room is at the innermost corner.If someone passed by Hua Wei's room, unless they ran into it when they went out, or read it on the Zhengtang website below, no one would really pay attention.

After all, no one would go into other people's rooms except for the maids to sweep around here.It would be a serious crime if we ran into him picking up customers.

Hua Wei couldn't help sighing, feeling more and more sad in his heart.Seeing this, Wushuang couldn't help asking: "Is there nothing in your drawer? The other party didn't leave anything for you?"

"It's not that I didn't keep it." Hua Wei smiled wryly, "He didn't take my parchment."

"Parchment? What is that?" Wushuang asked.

Hua Wei thought for a while, and said, "It's a marriage contract. It's just that it hasn't been written yet."

Wushuang understood, nodded, and continued to help her think while holding her chin.

After a while, Wushuang asked, "Master Mu, do you know where you keep your money?"

Hua Wei was taken aback.

Indeed, if Wu Shuang didn't tell her, she would have forgotten, and Mu Shaoqing also knew where she kept her money.And Mu Shaoqing can enter any room at any time.

However, he is a person who knows the rules very well, and he never messes up in things.Since they confessed their relationship, Mu Shaoqing seldom disturbed her.How could he take her money if he was so kind to her?

"Not to mention," Wushuang's face darkened, "Master Mu's craftsmanship is very good. He can not only make rouge spices, but also carve gadgets. I heard that the small box he used to store important rouge was carved by himself. came out. You should also have a few."

Speaking of this, Hua Weiwei really remembers very clearly that the patterns on the rouge box that Mu Shaoqing gave him are carved with fine patterns, and it can be seen at a glance that it took a lot of effort to carve, and each box is engraved with two The word - Shaohua.

Would it be easy for such a dexterous person to open the lock?
Hua Wei was silent for a long time, then stood up and said, "I'll look for it when I go back, maybe I forgot it because of sleepwalking, where did I put it?"

Knowing that this possibility is just an excuse and the probability is zero, does she still believe in Shaoqing?

The light in Wushuang's eyes dimmed slightly.After Hua Weiwei closed the door for her and went out, she looked at the screen in the inner room.

"Master Mu, she's gone."

Mu Shaoqing stepped out from behind the screen with a face full of self-blame, and said in a low voice, "She believed me."

"That's right." Wushuang pursed her lips and pulled out a faint smile, "It's a blessing to have Master Mu love you like this. It's also a blessing to have Master Mu who believes in you like this."

Mu Shaoqing smiled wryly when he heard the words: "I'm clearly blessed."

Recently, he secretly observed Hua Wei for a long time.I found that her demeanor and style of dealing with things were really completely different from before.It's only been a few months, can there be such a big change?It was hard for him to believe it.

What the hell happened...

Seeing that he was silent, Wushuang said: "Young Master Mu, just now this servant has proposed you to Zhengxie, but this servant is only speaking for her sake, not because she has any objections to you. I hope you will forgive me."

"I know, you are actually helping me." Sitting at the table, Mu Shaoqing picked up the teacup that Hua Weiwei just drank, turned to the side with the lip marks, and put her lips together tenderly. , carefully sipped it, and drank the few drops of tea left in the cup.

Wu Shuang said: "I just saw that the two of you are very close to each other, so I thought there was some conflict between you."

Contradiction?
"No."

He hoped that it was some contradiction that made her angry for a while and change her mind.When the conflict is resolved, she will still be Zhirou who only belongs to him.

"That's because the servant is worrying too much. Please forgive me." Wu Shuang said.

Mu Shaoqing said: "I want to thank you. I just came here today to ask her if she needs help recently. I didn't expect her to encounter such a big event. One thousand two hundred taels is indeed not a small amount. I will carefully Send someone to investigate." After a pause, he said again, "It's better not to mention the matter of our meeting today. She needs to be alone recently, don't let her know that I am paying attention to her, I don't want to give her pressure."

Wushuang stood up and saluted: "It's all up to the young master."

Mu Shaoqing nodded and slightly opened the door.Seeing that no one was paying attention, he quietly left Wushuang's room.

Finally, he was alone in the room.Wushuang stood at the door for a while, looking down at the jade ring that Zhang Chi gave her, the only jade ring she was wearing on her finger.

Just now she had asked Mu Shaoqing casually if Hua Kuai had made shoes for him.The answer I got was, no.

Does true love really exist in this world?
Thinking of the happy smile on Hua Wei's face when she finished sewing the three pairs of shoes under her guidance, she really felt that Mu Shaoqing and Hua Wei were the happiest people at that time.

however……

She was wrong at the time.

The word love is really poisonous.To be serious is to lose.

Received, and paid.Not equal at all.When the love is deep, I feel that it doesn't matter how much I pay, but when the word of love ends, I feel how unworthy and stupid those things were at the beginning.

Sure enough, she is still suitable to be alone and die alone.

For half a day, Hua Weiwei was depressed and unable to extricate himself from the atmosphere of losing money.It stands to reason that the more than 1000 taels of silver can be reported to officials.But she felt that if someone found out that she had saved so much money, she would not only be suspected and guessed, but also expose her wealth.This is not a good thing.Furthermore, I heard that the prefect who is in charge of Yunlai's area is not a good person. Even if the case is investigated and the truth comes out, I am afraid that the money will not reach her own hands in the end.

Of course, what she fears the most is that the person she trusts ends up becoming an inside thief.

Even if she didn't like Mu Shaoqing, Mu Shaoqing was still very important to her.After all, he was the one who gave himself confidence and reliance at the very beginning.It was also he who gave himself hard work and protection.

Mu Shaoqing was really kind to her.If he really took the money, then there must be some reason for him.

So she really didn't want to be the first to suspect him.

However, I really don't know who to suspect.If it was Ling Luo, Ling Luo couldn't easily enter her room when she went upstairs.In this kind of place, whose room is not locked when going out?

Only Mother Dong, Sister Xu and Mu Shaoqing had keys to her room.Even if Wushuang wanted to clean, he had to go to one of them to apply for the key first.

The rules set by Luoxiangfang are really many and strict.On weekdays, there will be a diligent girl like Yan'er patrolling around.Downstairs, there were more than a dozen thugs standing by the wall, and when something happened, they went there to stop it as soon as possible.She has stayed here for so long, and she has never seen a few people who dare to commit crimes here, and she has never heard of anyone throwing things.

But how could he be bumped into by himself!

Reminiscing about it, she checked the drawer last night.Even if the money in it can't guarantee that a car is not bad, the bank note is still there.She was not at ease, and would always take it out to have a look.A parchment roll was used to cover the top.At night, she kept the window open and a bamboo stick was placed beside it. Unless Brother Shuanglang was as good at it, if others tried to climb in, they would startle her who was lying not far from the window.She locked the door again, and it was locked inside and no one could open it from the outside.

However, she didn't believe that Brother Shuanglang would do it.Not to mention the fact that Brother Shuanglang didn't know where she hid the money, but with his extraordinary kung fu, he couldn't steal the money from any rich man if he wanted to?Is it her turn again?
Can……

What if Jun Qingchen wanted Brother Shuanglang to steal her money, so that she couldn't save it to redeem herself?

If so, it makes sense.I just don't know what is the meaning of Jun Qingchen's words.

The more I think about it, the more chaotic it becomes, and my mind is full of hypothetical possibilities.Hua Zhengxuan thought for a while, feeling more and more uncomfortable.

What is the difference between her like this and the person who lost the axe.Everyone looks like someone stealing an axe, especially the neighbor's son, who walks and talks like someone stealing an axe.In fact, people are just innocent.

She didn't want to become such a person who made random guesses about the people around her.

Hua Zhengxuan knew that she was not a smart and wise woman.They don't have the fighting methods of those deep ladies, nor do they have the skill and courage of chivalrous heroes.Even before, when she had an ugly face, it was difficult to communicate with people properly.Being discriminated against and cursed has long been a habit.

However, she still feels that no matter how bad life treats her, at least she must be a kind person worthy of herself.

Does being kind mean being bullied again and again?

She hesitated.The tears couldn't be held back, and fell down with her helplessness.

The petite figure curled up in a corner and hugged into a ball. For a long time, there was no other movement except the shaking of the shoulders.

On the other end, just as Jun Qingchen finished counting the accounts and put the accounts aside, a masked man in black knocked on the door and came in.

Jun Qingchen only raised his eyes to look at him, then lowered his eyelids, staring at another thick account book.

"What's new?"

The man in black said: "Miss Hua is safe and sound."

"En." Jun Qingchen replied without emotion.

The man in black said again: "But Miss Hua found out that she lost 200 taels of silver this afternoon."

Jun Qingchen paused, then slowly raised his eyelids to stare at him.

"Who did it?"

The man in black said: "This subordinate doesn't know."

"I don't know?"

"The master's order is for his subordinates to follow Miss Hua. After Miss Hua left the house, the subordinates have no time to take care of her situation in the house." The man in black said truthfully.

Jun Qingchen narrowed his eyes when he heard the words, put down his pen, and tapped slowly on the table a few times with his slender fingers.

"I have already sent someone to take care of her business, so I almost sent her money directly. Why is it so difficult for her to save money and redeem herself?" After muttering to himself for a while, he waved his hand and said, "Recently, my young master is busy with business. I'm already exhausted, so I don't have the time to worry about her little money. You can arrange it yourself, and when she goes out, send someone to drop a purse in front of her, and when she finds it, just leave as soon as possible."

Is this really sending money out directly?This behavior is too suspicious... Shuanglang was speechless when he heard it, but thinking of his master who had been unrestrained for so long, he was really busy when he first took over the business and almost skipped eating and sleeping. Shi Shi worried too much about other things, so he said thoughtfully: "You just do what the master tells you. As for how to do it well, you can figure it out yourself. Follow me to the cashier to get the money later."

"Yes." The man in black politely agreed, then got up, and suddenly thought of something, and knelt down again, "There is one more thing that my subordinates don't know what to say."

"If you don't know whether it should be or not, then don't say it." Jun Qingchen was recording a complicated expenditure, and his abacus would make his hands cramp.

The man in black hesitated for a moment, but said, "It's about Lord Jun."

The hand that fiddled with the abacus stopped.

Jun Qingchen frowned, and put the abacus back to its original position, "Quickly say it!"

The man in black then said: "Master Jun went to Miss Hua today, and it was about you, master. Master Jun asked Miss Hua if she saw you after you came back from the screen door. Miss Hua denied it. Then Master Jun said Tell me, if Miss Hua sees you, she should report to the Junfu."

"anything else?"

"Also, Mr. Jun said a word - it seems that he recognized Miss Hua as someone else. That person is not drunk. The rest of the subordinates don't know about it."

Jun Qingchen flicked his abacus, but his movements stopped.

His slender eyes narrowed slightly, and he repeated in a low voice, "A thousand cups are not drunk", Jun Qingchen said, "Since there is no one, you can go down and complete the new task. If there is any noise, please report at any time. Remember as long as you Now, just protect her with your life and don't let anything happen to her."

The man in black clasped his fists and said, "I respect your orders!"

At this time, Shuanglang came out from behind Jun Qingchen, "Follow me to the accountant."

The man in black obediently followed the two wolves and retreated.

As soon as the two left, King Yun was helped in by a maid.It was still the mask that covered most of the face, leaving only the terrifying eyes and mouth.

"I heard that you have been sending Xuandu to protect that girl recently?" King Yun asked.

There were waves of people coming, Jun Qingchen simply closed the account book first, walked out from behind the table, and supported King Yun instead of the maid.

"If you answer uncle, my nephew is just repaying Miss Hua for saving her life."

King Yun was supported by him and sat on the rose chairs on both sides. With a stretch of his hand, a cup of tea was delivered to his palm.

Even if you can't see it, you can accurately pick up the lid and half cover the teacup.King Yun raised his head and took a sip of tea, put down his cup and said, "You said Miss Hua warned you at the screen gate that there might be heavy rain on the eve of the Yuping Festival. But the news I got is that you didn't take that girl to the screen gate. Door."

It is natural that this bit of news cannot be hidden from my uncle's ears.Jun Qingchen had long thought of an answer: "My nephew was ambushed while taking Miss Hua to meet the hidden guards, and Miss Hua was frightened. My nephew couldn't bear to take her around anymore, so he didn't take her there. Later we We exchanged letters once, and she told me that there might be something wrong with the screen door in the letter at that time."

"Then how did she know?"

"My nephew doesn't know about it."

King Yun was silent for a while, then slowly raised his face, facing Jun Qingchen's eyes with closed eyes.

"Do you have any relationship with her?"

Jun Qingchen's heart skipped a beat, knowing that King Yun couldn't see him, but he was still burdened with a sense of oppression, and looked away with difficulty, "Nephew... has intentions to marry her. But she will only be a concubine, concubine It doesn't even count."

"Then who is your main wife? Mingxi?"

Jun Qingchen clenched his fist tightly, and said firmly: "Yes. This is the goal that my nephew set when he was young, and it must be realized. I hope uncle will not stop it."

King Yun shook his head slowly: "You don't know that you are my king, and you have never had a deep relationship with her?"

Jun lightly dusted.

"Since the heart is not here, why bother to enforce the agreement. A marriage based on loyalty will not benefit you at all." King Yun said.

Jun Qingchen sighed, "Uncle is going to use that same rhetoric again to persuade me to marry a woman I've never even met?"

King Yun shook his head: "As long as you want, you can see Xue'er anytime."

Jun Qingchen choked, and simply lowered his face and stopped talking.

Xue'er in King Yun's words is called Leng Xue.He felt uncomfortable hearing this name. Could it be a famous arrester in a book?A girl's family was called this name, and I don't know how her parents thought of giving it to her.

King Yun knew that he was not happy, so he took the trouble to persuade him: "Xue'er's father is also an old friend of this king and your father. His family runs Juanshan's weapons replacement, and he has a lot of business contacts with your father. Your father does not take this line, this king always thinks about you. After all, it is for your own good, so don’t be unwilling to listen.”

Jun Qingchen just didn't want to listen.

After all, young and energetic, who wouldn't want to marry the girl of their dreams?
"Uncle persuades my nephew so much, and is so concerned about the future of the Jun family, but why are you at odds with your nephew's parents?"

King Yun was silent for a while.

"The king and them are not at odds."

Even though it was a serious explanation, it still sounded weak.After so many years, even the blind can hear that Yun Wang Suling and the Jun family's Patriarch Jun Zhengyang not only have little contact, but their relationship is not as good as before.

"Uncle really cares about the safety of Jun's family, and keeps paving the way for my nephew so that he can inherit the family business of Jun's family. But why are you so estranged from my father?"

King Yun was silent again.

Can't see his face clearly, can't see his eyes, can only see from his tightly closed white lips that he really doesn't want to talk about it.

This matter has been buried in Jun Qingchen's heart for a long time.He was always curious and never got an answer.The mother at home was lonely, moaning and sighing all day long, and her body could not get a good breath adjustment.And although her father spent a lot of money on buying precious medicinal materials for her, he always went out to find flowers and ask willows. He often spent a day with his mother without saying a word, and even went to Luoxiangfang to have fun on his mother's birthday.

What happened to these three people, Uncle Huang didn't say anything, and King Yun who treated him like his own didn't say anything.Everyone seems to be keeping this secret, have you never thought about his mood when facing this broken family?
