Seeing that she agreed, Jiang Aoxue didn't care whether she really agreed or was perfunctory. She dragged her long skirt, turned around directly, and returned to the palace without saying a word.

Seeing Jiang Aoxue entering, Wan Yun looked back at Cuiping with a pale face, and kindly persuaded him: "The slave advises you to do what the princess says!" With that, she turned and went in.

Seeing the corner door in front of her being slowly closed, Cui Ping breathed a long sigh of relief, she was almost dying here, and she was afraid that she didn't know what to do.

The remaining maid who served Cui Ping saw that the palace was closed, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Cui Ping, wanting to help her up, her face was also pale, her heart was beating as if she was about to jump out, and she was obviously scared enough by Jiang Aoxue's momentum.

Cui Ping held her hand and tried a few times before slowly standing up, she took a deep breath, trying to calm her heartbeat, but her legs were still shaking, and she couldn't walk a single step.

The maid could only help her to walk forward, and asked with difficulty as she walked, "Auntie, what should we do now?" Do you really go back and tell the young master what the princess said? ”

Cui Ping said hatefully as she walked, "Is there anything else we can do?" Didn't you see Jiang Aoxue's means? If I don't go back today to spread the word, then tomorrow I will be the one who will be dragged away by the guards. ”

She didn't want to go back and pass the word either, but what could she do? Jiang Aoxue's current identity is so noble, and there are King Yan and even the emperor behind her as backers, she can't move her at all, so she can only do what she tells her.

The maid naturally knew her current situation, so she could only sigh silently and never speak again.

Although Cui Ping's heart did not want to return to the Hou Mansion, but an hour later, she still arrived at the back door of the Hou Mansion, and saw the gate of the Hou Mansion close at hand, Cui Ping's eyes were full of obvious fear, she could think of what he would be angry if she told Jiang Xiu about today's events.

Cui Ping took a deep breath, then pushed open the back door and walked in, through the back garden of the Hou Mansion, to her own courtyard. As soon as Cui Ping walked into the yard, a little maid who was sweeping the floor threw away the broom in her hand, ran over quickly, and said after a hurried salute: "Auntie, the young master will go to see him when you come back." ”

Cui Ping nodded, waved her hand to signal her to retreat, she did not turn around to see Jiang Xiu, but went into her room, and after making it at the table and drinking a small half cup of tea, she took a deep breath, as if she was alive.

The maid who came back with her stood behind her, she looked at Cui Ping anxiously, and then looked at the scene outside, and after a while, she saw that Cui Ping had no intention of leaving, so she hesitated and asked, "Auntie, can't we go over?" ”

Cui Ping put down the teacup in her hand and said in a light tone: "Don't you know what will happen to us once we pass?" Anyway, it's not bad for a while, wait for me to calm down before I pass. ”

The maid nodded and didn't speak, just quietly guarded behind Cui Ping, I don't know how long it took, Cui Ping in front of her suddenly stood up, she tidied up her dress, and said lightly: "Let's go!" ”

The reason why Cui Ping was so calm was because she suddenly made up her mind just now not to tell Jiang Xiu what happened today. She plans to gamble that if Jiang Aoxue doesn't mention today's events tomorrow, then Jiang Xiu will still have a chance to survive without knowing everything.

But if Jiang Aoxue still mentions herself in front of Jiang Xiu tomorrow, then even if she is kicked out of the Hou Mansion, her life as an aunt can be one day longer, and she still earns it in the end.

Thinking of this, Cui Ping instructed the little maid behind her: "You stay in the yard and don't go out, I'll just go by myself." ”

"How can this work? Slaves and maids serve their aunts. The little maid hurriedly spoke.

"Are you a fool? If the master sees through that I am missing a maid, how can I explain it? Cui Ping said hatefully, very dissatisfied with her ignorant appearance.

After listening to her words, the maid understood, and quickly nodded, indicating that she would definitely stay in the room.

Seeing that she agreed, Cui Ping was relieved, she turned around and left, and walked towards Jiang Xiu's study, and it took less than a while to arrive.

Jiang Xiu's little maid was guarding outside the study, as if waiting for her, seeing her coming from a distance, she hurriedly stepped forward to greet her: "Auntie, you are here, our master is waiting for you inside!" ”

The little girl had a flattering smile on her face, looking at Cui Ping's expression without a trace, for fear that she would be angry with herself. Last time he stopped her at the door, and according to her vengeful nature, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to have good fruit to eat.

Last time, there was also a little guy in the Hou Mansion who offended Cui Ping, and was soon sued by Cui Ping to the young master, and the Hou Ye didn't ask what the truth was, so he directly beat the little guy with a cane of fifty sticks, and the beating was already bloody and blurred, I'm afraid it will be difficult to stand up again in this life.

I stopped her at the door last time, and now Cui Ping is doing things according to the young master's instructions, if she succeeds, it is inevitable that her status in the young master's heart will be higher than that of the city, and how to deal with herself when the time comes, it is not a matter of moving her fingers.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

It's not that Cui Ping didn't notice his completely different attitude from before, but she has no intention of caring about this matter now, she is now too busy to take care of herself, and the most important thing is to save herself first.

She ignored the little girl's smile, but asked lightly, "How long has the young master been waiting?" ”

The little guy touched his chin and thought about it carefully, and then replied: "After you went out, the young master began to wait, almost three hours later. ”

Cui Ping nodded, and didn't say anything else, but walked to the front of the study, and said softly through the closed study door: "Master, Cui Ping is back." ”

The door of the study was opened suddenly, and Jiang Xiu's figure appeared in front of Cui Ping at once, with obvious anxiety on his face, after seeing Cui Ping, he looked her up and down, and then seemed to be relieved, and a smile appeared on his face, and said, "Why did you come back?" The palace is not far from the Hou Mansion, why did you delay for several hours? But it was done. ”

Asking questions one after another, Cui Ping's heart seemed to be a mess, but this kind of mood couldn't be seen by Jiang Xiu, I saw that she had anger in her eyes, and said coquettishly: "Master, if you have questions, you have to ask them one by one, so many questions at once, how can I answer?" ”

Seeing that Cui Ping could still laugh at the moment, Jiang Xiu's heart was half relieved, it seems that she should have borrowed the silver, otherwise she would definitely come back dejected.

He hurriedly grabbed Cui Ping's wrist, pulled her into the study, and then closed the door casually. After entering the door, Jiang Xiu pulled her to the chair next to her and sat down, and then asked with a smile: "Looking at you like this, it should be a success, right?" ”

Cui Ping blinked a pair of eyes, a confused look appeared on her face, and she hesitated to speak: "I don't know if this is considered a success, it should be considered half the success, right?" ”

Half the battle? Jiang Xiu was also confused, can borrowing silver still be half the success? If you borrow it, you will succeed, if you can't borrow it, you won't succeed, what is half of the success? Did you borrow half of the silver?

He hurriedly asked, "What do you mean by that?" Did you borrow half of the money? ”

Cui Ping shook her head and hesitated for a while before she spoke, "I didn't borrow any money. ”

Jiang Xiu's face darkened suddenly, he shook off Cui Ping's hand, returned to his chair and sat down, and took two deep breaths to calm the anger that was about to swell above his head.

Originally, seeing Cui Ping's smiling face, he thought that there would be no problem this time, but he didn't expect that the silver still hadn't been borrowed, so what was she happy about?

"You still smile happily without money, do you like to see me without money and taken away by debt collectors? Did you know that the deadline for the casino is just a few days away? The more Jiang Xiu thought about it, the more angry he became, he slapped the desk in front of him fiercely, and said sharply.

Cuiping was startled by his loud voice, she lowered her head, tears streaming down her cheeks and dripping onto the floor in front of her.

Jiang Xiu's favorite thing about Cui Ping is nothing more than her proud appearance, as soon as he saw her little face with pear blossoms and rain, the anger in his heart couldn't help but dissipate a little, he gasped roughly, sat back in the chair at once, but no longer said anything.

Cui Ping waited for a while, and when she saw that Jiang Xiu didn't speak, she had a calculation in her heart, and then she whispered: "Don't be angry, although I didn't borrow back the silver, I still brought back a good news." ”

Jiang Xiu glanced at her, obviously not very looking forward to the good news, and did not speak.

Cui Ping had already expected his reaction, and she didn't care about his silence, and then said: "When I went to borrow silver today, although I didn't see the princess, the princess asked me to tell me that I would come to the Hou Mansion to tell the princess, if you want to borrow the silver, please bring your sister tomorrow and go to see the princess together." ”

Jiang Xiu was already desperate, but after hearing her words, she was stunned at first, and then she was surprised and delighted, and her voice rose: "What you said is true?" ”

"This is naturally true, how could Cui Ping lie to her master? Besides, if I lie to the master, won't the master be exposed when he goes to the palace tomorrow? Cui Ping said with a smile.

Jiang Xiu nodded, Cui Ping's words made sense, it seemed that he would be able to get the silver immediately, and finally he didn't have to hide in the Hou Mansion all day, and he could finally go out.
