Chapter 240: The Steward of the Annex, a Strange Woman
Wei Mingxi smiled indifferently: "None of the people in this mansion are credible. The two people just now were King Zhao's people, and the two people in the courtyard in front were King Qi's people. โ
When he came to the northwest, although he was clearly degraded and lost his favor, which of his brothers was a good kind, and which of them could let him go safely? He also had a lot of eyeliner in his hands, and he didn't know how many of those who were hidden in the shadows, but sometimes he needed these people to pass on some news, so he didn't uproot them.
Fu Rongyue pondered for a moment before saying, "In this way, there are some things that have to be done carefully. โ
"Hmm. Wei Mingxi chuckled: "It's good that you know these situations, and you don't have to pick and choose." I also want to remind you that this house is not monolithic. โ
"I know. Fu Rongyue pursed her lips and smiled: "I will be cautious." โ
Wei Mingxi nodded, then tilted his head slightly, frowned, and looked at Fu Rongyue solemnly for a while, looking at Fu Rongyue a little embarrassed: "What are you looking at?"
"Head down a bit. Wei Mingxi said: "It's lower." โ
Fu Rongyue bent down and approached Wei Mingxi's side as she said, only to see Wei Mingxi stretch out his hand to fish, Fu Rongyue was caught off guard, and was pulled into his arms by him. Before she could react, Wei Mingxi's kiss had already fallen on her lips, tossing and turning, and kissing deeply. When he let go of Fu Rongyue, Fu Rongyue's lips were red and swollen, her cheeks were red, her breathing was so disordered that it made people think about it, and her eyes were like autumn water, which sucked people's souls into it.
Wei Mingxi calmed down and made his voice calmer: "Okay, you can go out now, I'll accompany you to see your yard." โ
Fu Rongyue touched her lips and suddenly understood.
Wei Mingxi opened the guards just now, if it weren't for outsiders thinking that he couldn't help himself, others would think that the two of them were discussing something in the house.
Although this reason is a bit embarrassing, it is better than being doubted and causing endless troubles!
Thinking of this, Fu Rongyue couldn't help but cover her cheeks, and said secretly in her heart: It's over, she has now been attacked by Wei Mingxi's gentle trap, and even being kissed by him takes it for granted!
However, having said that, the sweetness that grows in my heart cannot be hidden...... She loves it!
pushed Wei Mingxi out of the door, and sure enough, the two sergeants didn't go far, just standing outside the courtyard gate. Seeing the two of them coming out, they immediately glanced around, nothing changed in the room, and the eyes of the two naturally fell on Fu Rongyue's face, and then showed a clear look.
Wei Mingxi guessed right again this time!
The two walked past the two sergeants, and Wei Mingxi coldly ordered: "Clean up the house, and bring another desk by the way, the princess likes to write and draw." โ
"Yes. The sergeant agreed, did not dare to look more, and bowed down.
Fu Rongyue pushed Wei Mingxi to her yard, and when she met Yao Yuan coming back, Yao Yuan naturally took her place, Fu Rongyue freed her hand, and Wei Mingxi immediately held it.
When we arrived at Sosein, everything was ready. Some of the slaves in the courtyard had been waiting inside for a long time, and when they saw Fu Rongyue coming over, they all kowtowed to say goodbye, and after Fu Rongyue asked them to get up, she asked the green pothos to reward some silver taels, and they were all overjoyed, and the slaves all showed happy smiles on their faces.
Wei Mingxi led Fu Rongyue to look around the courtyard, and it could be seen that it had been carefully arranged, elegant and beautiful, with lilac gauze hung, which was a little more soft than Wei Mingxi's courtyard, and a little less stiff than cold weapons.
"The night in the northwest is very cold, and I have instructed the minions to keep an eye on the earth dragon in your house, but in this way, the house will be dry, and the bedside must be prepared with hot water at all times. Wei Mingxi said softly: "If you still need anything, you have to tell me as soon as possible." โ
She was able to come to the northwest to accompany him to endure hardships, he was very grateful, he had already sworn that he would never let Fu Rongyue suffer a little grievance!
Fu Rongyue shook her head: "It's good here, so be it." โ
"Then you can rest first, there will be a feast in the evening, and you will be better off sleeping for a while. Wei Mingxi saw that her face was a little pale, knowing that she had worked hard all the way, he waved his hand and asked Luluo and others to change Fu Rongyue's clothes, and he turned around and went out without taking a second look.
Fu Rongyue was also tired, but this time she didn't shirk it, and after waiting for the pothos to wash, she lay down and fell asleep.
Seeing Wei Mingxi, his mind relaxed, he slept very soundly, and when he woke up, it was already afternoon, and Lu Luo smiled: "Miss slept really well this night, the housekeepers in several yards have come to see it several times, and I saw that Miss didn't wake up, and went back again." โ
"The stewards in the other courtyards?" Fu Rongyue wondered.
What kind of affairs can there be in the small capital protection house, there are only a few courtyards in total!
Lu Pothos said: "The slaves and maids have inquired clearly, there are six courtyards in the Duhu Mansion, in addition to the courtyard where the prince lives and our courtyard, there are also four other courtyards. One of them was given to Yao Guard, the other lived several of the prince's right-hand men, and there were also two courtyards that were taken care of. Today's visit is the steward of these courtyards. Miss, do you want them to come and see you? In the future, if you look up and don't look down, there will always be a time when you can find it. โ
"Okay, you go and pass them over!" Fu Rongyue pursed her lips and smiled, and instructed Lu Qiao: "You also go and prepare gifts, you just came, you can't be stingy." โ
The two girls acted separately, Mei Shan waited for her to get up and change her clothes, change into regular clothes, and combed her with green silk and put her hair in a simple bun.
In a moment, Fu Rongyue was already waiting in the main hall with a refreshing body.
After a short time, the green pothos led five people to come in a row, walked into the main hall and lined them up one by one, and greeted her neatly.
Fu Rongyue fixed her eyes and landed on the last steward.
The other four are all old men or mothers-in-law who are over half a hundred years old, but this steward is a very young girl, who is seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a blue pigmented dress, and she is also very charming without powder, and her slender waist and thin legs are very pitiful. When she knelt down, she glanced up at Fu Rongyue, her eyes were as bright as water, and her heart trembled.
It's just that the light flashing in her eyes made Fu Rongyue feel a little familiar......
"A few people, please. Fu Rongyue froze, retracted her gaze, and instructed Lu Qiao to send the small gifts that had been prepared a long time ago, and handed them to several people one by one.
"Thank you, Princess!" several people took the gifts, and only after thanking them again did they get up respectfully.
Fu Rongyue looked at the pothos and nodded.
Luluo introduced her one by one: "Miss, these people are the stewards in the courtyard of the house." This is Steward Qiu, who is in the main courtyard of the king, this is Steward Chen, who is in the marching courtyard, this is Steward Li, who is in the White Tiger Courtyard, this is Steward Wang, who is in the Qinglong Courtyard, and this is Steward Yuan, who is in the Suzaku Courtyard. โ
When Steward Yuan heard Lu Luo's words, she raised her head and glanced at Fu Rongyue again in surprise, as if she was stunned by Lu Luo's address to Fu Rongyue, in order not to let people see it, she immediately lowered her eyes.
However, all this did not escape Fu Rongyue's eyes.
Fu Rongyue secretly wrote it down, and when she heard the last one, she nodded, indicating that she recognized it.
It turns out that this beautiful girl is the steward of the Suzaku Courtyard, surnamed Yuan, but I don't know what the name is?
Fu Rongyue pressed her doubts, the coming day is long, let's pass tonight's pass first, and then I will say a few words of routine commands, these people are all remembered one by one, and after leaving the form, the green pothos will take them down again.
Fu Rongyue watched them attentively, and the older stewards walked in front and followed the pothos. Steward Yuan walked at the end and walked out of the gate of the courtyard, but there was a little girl dressed as a maidservant waiting at the door, and when she came out, she hurriedly put the cloak she was holding in her hand.
This is unusual, the person in charge is still worthy of a maid?
It's not like a steward, it's like a master!
Fu Rongyue lowered her eyebrows, an uncomfortable feeling surged in her heart, and she gave Lu Qiao a look, Lu Qiao nodded knowingly, turned around and went out.
Mei Shan was very sluggish, but this time she was unexpectedly sensitive, and she obviously found something wrong: "Miss, the steward surnamed Yuan is so strange, the way she looked at Miss just now is no different from the way Concubine Fu looked at Miss before." After a pause, she added: "At first glance, he is not a good person!"
"Maybe there's some misunderstanding, let's wait for Lu Qiao to inquire and see what the situation is. Fu Rongyue shook her head, not wanting to make up her mind so early.
Lu Qiao went for more than half an hour, and after Lu Qiao came back, she first brought some news: "Miss, that Yuan steward is called Yuan Qingdai, and he said that he was from Hancheng, and he fled from outside the Saiwai to the northwest when Dawei was fighting with Chimeng. Because of her appearance, she was abducted into the building, she was humiliated and escaped from the building, and when she was desperate, His Royal Highness happened to pass by and rescued her, and took her back to the palace. โ
"Why did His Highness put her as a steward?" Fu Rongyue felt strange.
Pothos shook her head: "This is not clear. โ
She knew that these were all things she had just chatted with Yuan Qingdai on the road, and Yuan Qingdai told her, but she didn't know if it was true or not!
Fortunately, Lu Qiao came back, took a sip of water, and said impatiently: "Miss, this Yuan is not simple. Sister Luluo is right, she was indeed picked up by His Royal Highness, but after His Highness picked her up and came back, he threw her to Steward Qiu, but she didn't know what means she used, only a month, His Royal Highness made her the steward of Suzaku Temple, don't you say strange, is there a ghost?"
Lu Qiao nodded again and again: "Yes, I asked some girls, and they said that for a while, she carried a food box to His Highness's courtyard every day, and even if she was kicked out by His Highness, she would stand at the door for a few hours, and finally His Highness would call her in." โ
Fu Rongyue raised her eyes, and for a moment, the corners of her mouth showed a strange smile.
