In a dark study.

Yan Jue had just come in, and he noticed a figure hiding in the shadows.

Say. Yan Jue said indifferently.

"Back to the master, Mother Nie met Xianglian in private last night. Qingyun knew all the humiliations in Aunt Xia's room today, but he didn't stop them. The figure in the shadows said.

"No wonder. Yan Jue recalled that when Xia Rao was brought to the library building, her forbearant and cold eyes, and the hand behind her moved slightly: "Then cut off Mother Nie's hands, and send them to Xianglian's bedside in the middle of the night." ”

The people in the shadows responded, and hesitated: "What about Qingyun?"

"It's the same as before. Yan Jue was indifferent.

"But you continue to indulge him like this, in case he ......"

"He won't disobey that man's words. Yan Jue seemed to think of something, and a trace of struggle appeared in his eyes, and he was quickly replaced by indifference: "The others are still going according to plan." ”

The people in the shadows looked at Yan Jue's lonely back, and sighed in their hearts, and then disappeared from the darkness.

Outside the house.

Xia Rao and Qingyun went out of the house in a carriage.

The carriage was very bumpy, Xia Rao simply covered her face with a veil, lifted the curtain and looked out.

On the bustling street, men and women wearing long skirts and long shirts come and go, just like arriving in a film and television city.

Soon the carriage stopped in a remote and small place, but the nearest pharmacy stopped, taking advantage of Qingyun's time to park the carriage, Xia Rao quickly entered the pharmacy, and saw that there were no customers in the shop, so she said directly: "I want to see the shopkeeper." ”

"What do you command, girl?" The old man in front of the counter lifted his eyelids, saw Xia Rao with ordinary clothes, and lazily lowered his eyelids and continued to pull his abacus.

Xia Rao came over with a smile and said in a low voice, "I'm going to buy a few herbs to make my ancestral beauty and beauty pill." ”

The shopkeeper sneered: "Beauty and beauty pills, we have a lot of here, what medicine does the girl want, let's talk about it." ”

"The first batch of spring stamens in spring, the first batch of lotus stamens in summer, the first batch of chrysanthemum stamens in autumn, and the first batch of plum stamens in winter, ten taels each. Xia Rao smiled.

The shopkeeper immediately laughed contemptuously, stroked his beard and looked at Xia Rao with disdain, and said: "Girl, it's not that the small ones look down on you, it's really the pills made of these flavored stamens, which are not as effective as the cheapest beauty pills sold in the small shop, you see, there are whitening ones here, and there are freckle removal ones, as for the effect, you can see the effect by taking a hundred or so pills......

"My few medicines, with my ancestral secret recipe, one pill will be effective, what is beauty freckle removal, my medicine can make people ten years younger. Xia Rao said with a calm smile, and pointed to the corner of the shopkeeper's eye: "The shopkeeper's eye disease should have been more than three years, and now he can hardly see anything in his right eye. ”

The shopkeeper originally thought she was bragging, but when she heard the second half of the sentence, she was stunned.

She hasn't put her pulse yet, and she can know her illness at a glance?

Xia Rao turned her head and saw that Qingyun had already come, so she said to the shopkeeper in a cold tone: "If you don't want to die, just keep your mouth shut." But if you want to make a lot of money and cure your eyes, you can quietly prepare what I want, and you can't afford to mess with the master behind me. ”

The words fell, and Qingyun had already come in.

Xia Rao pretended to be calm and gave the prescription to the shopkeeper: "Catch the medicine according to the prescription, I have to carefully pick everything." ”

The shopkeeper glanced at the waist card of Yanwangfu hanging on Qingyun's waist, thinking that the master behind Xia Rao was the nobleman of Yanwangfu, where did he dare to talk nonsense, so he hurriedly went to grab the medicine.

When the medicine bag was delivered to Xia Rao, Xia Rao smelled the aroma of the stamens lingering in the air, so she bent her eyes slightly and followed Qingyun to the next pharmacy.

But then it didn't go so well, Qingyun seemed to be aware of staring at her all the time, Xia Rao didn't dare to take risks.

But if you succeed in one, then the next thing is to make money first!

On the way back to the house, Xia Rao was still thinking about how much silver she would need after leaving Yanwang's Mansion, so she heard Qingyun say, "Doesn't my aunt hate it?"

"Mother Nie's humiliation of you like that was actually instructed by the pair of masters and servants in the Library Pavilion, does Auntie know the identity of their master and servant?" Qingyun asked again.

"Butler Qingyun seems to have something to warn me. Xia Rao's footsteps stopped slightly, and her eyes were deep.

The slave just felt that her aunt was kind-hearted, and she couldn't bear to see her being tortured to death in vain. Qingyun looked at Xia Rao with a smile, and did not hide the calculation in her eyes: "So my aunt might as well consider cooperating with the minions." ”
