Chapter 27: Tracking
Although Shen Fenglan was locked up for two more days, it was only a small punishment and a big admonition, Li Youning put his mind at ease and began to plan another thing.
She summoned Rusi and whispered a few words in her ear.
Rusi listened carefully, and then said, "The slave remembers." ”
Acacia came in with a snack and almost pretended to be with her.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going out to run some errands and I'll be back soon." Ru Si ran out of the dream house without looking back.
Acacia continued to walk in with a snack, only to see Li Youning sitting on the kang, holding a book in his hand, leaning on the soft pillow and looking intently, two hollow copper incense balls hung on the window lattice, and the sandalwood and green smoke were repeatedly filled.
"Miss, eat the new flower and red bean cake made by the slave."
The skin of the red bean crisp is golden and bright, with clear layers, and the unique sweet and greasy taste of red beans looks very soft and delicious. It is made in the shape of flower petals and is placed in a smooth white porcelain plate, like chrysanthemums blooming in autumn.
Li Youning put the scroll on his lap, pinched a piece of red bean crisp and took a bite, the entrance was sweet, it was really a good craft.
"Fang Cai Rusi went out in a hurry, is there something wrong?"
"You'll find out when she gets back."
Li Youning's voice was very brisk, and there was a smile in his eyes, and when he saw this look, he stopped asking curiously.
In the evening, after Acacia served Li Youning for dinner, the two sat in the courtyard to rest.
"Rusi hasn't come back yet?"
Acacia said, "Not yet, or the slave maid will go out to see ......"
Before the other word "look" could be spoken, a figure burst in from the outside. Wearing a hood, the visitor came in and asked, "Is there water?" ”
Acacia hurriedly handed over the cold tea on the stone table: "Drink it slowly." ”
The person who came looked up and drank it all, and the hood slipped down, revealing his cheeks that were a little red from running, but it was not Rusi who had disappeared for a long time.
After drinking enough water, Rusi couldn't wait to say, "Miss, you are really a god!" This matter really has something to do with Mrs. Liu! ”
Acacia was confused, looking back and forth between the two.
An autumn wind swept into the yard, rustling the leaves.
Li Youning naturally raised the corners of his mouth, with a flickering smile in his eyes, half-covering the scroll on his chin and saying, "It's not my god, it's someone, I'm too anxious." ”
Rusi pulled Acacia and said excitedly: "I'll tell you......"
It turned out that Li Youning sent Rusi to follow Mama Zhang.
found that Mama Zhang was secretly in contact with Dr. Chen, and Dr. Chen gave her a heavy bag of silver ingots.
It is said that doctors treat people, and patients pay doctors, so why do doctors pay others now?
Mama Zhang is privately taught and accepted by others, and according to the rules of the house, she will be kicked out of the house. No one wants to take in the slaves and maids who have been driven out of the house, let alone their hands and feet are not clean.
If Mama Zhang didn't dare, then it was very likely that the silver was actually for the Liu family.
What does the Liu family want so much silver for?
Quan Bai has a younger brother who is a good gambler, and when he has no money, he will go to Shen Mansion to ask her for money. Although the Liu family is in charge of the daily affairs of the Shen Mansion, the financial power is still in the hands of Shen Yuanshan.
There is a very important reason why the Liu family is not right with Shen Xiaowan.
Shen Xiaowan once bumped into Liu's younger brother and asked her for silver.
The Liu family has a good face, if it is known by Shen Yuanshan and her husband, or if the people in the mansion know, her status and prestige in the Shen Mansion may be difficult to convince the public.
Shen Xiaowan didn't publicize this matter, but how could the Liu family rest assured? went against Shen Xiaojuan everywhere, so Shen Xiaojuan looked down on the Liu family from the bottom of his heart......
Seeing each other and hating each other has become a vicious circle.
Lovesick and puzzled: "But what does this have to do with Dr. Chen?" ”
Rusi rarely saw that Acacia didn't understand something, and finally had a feeling of raising his eyebrows, so he cleared his throat and said proudly: "This is actually a coincidence." ”
"Coincidence?"
"Dr. Chen healed the young lady, very proud, I wanted to show off, but I was told by the master not to talk nonsense. But he is a person who can't hold back his words, and he is addicted to alcohol, and once he was drunk and accidentally leaked his mouth. The speaker had no intention, but the listener had a heart, and everyone thought that Dr. Chen was a good doctor, so they all went to his hospital to see a doctor. ”
"It's no wonder that the business of his hospital has been very good recently, I heard from the housekeeper that everyone is queuing up for him, and some people invite him to come to see a doctor at a large price." Acacia suddenly realized.
"Don't interrupt!" Rusi shook her index finger and signaled the audience to be quiet, "What we can hear, Mama Zhang naturally knows." She threatened Dr. Chen to tell the master about his secret, of course Dr. Chen was afraid! ”
Li Youning smiled helplessly, the title of the second rank official of the imperial court, coupled with Chen Fanghuai's expulsion from the palace in the past, he naturally did not dare to offend.
One helps keep secrets and gets benefits, and the other makes a lot of money with a reputation, no matter how you look at it, it's a very good deal.
It's a pity that I ran into her.
