Chapter Eighty-Six: A Good Man
Sitting in the carriage, Xiuxiu felt uncomfortable. She looked at Yan Yuyu who was lying in the carriage, and then looked at Shen Xizhi who was closing her eyes and recuperating on the other side, and suddenly felt that she and the young lady were caught in a huge conspiracy.
"Princess, it's time to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion. β
After the carriage stopped, Wen Ru pushed open the carriage door from the outside. And with this "princess" shouting, Xiuxiu couldn't help but shudder.
She couldn't figure it out, since this person was Princess Yu, why did she have to hide her identity when she was in the Strange Building? Could it be that it was because she quarreled with the young lady?
Before she could figure it out, Shen Xizhi had already gotten out of the carriage. And after the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion learned that their eldest lady fainted in the Strange Building, they passed it on one by one, and hurriedly found someone to come out to greet them.
"Yu'er, my Yu'er!" Mrs. Yan was surrounded by a group of people, and several mothers-in-law carefully helped Yan Yuyu down. Mrs. Yan looked at the unconscious Yan Yuyu and felt pain in her heart, and beckoned a few people to be careful.
"Where's the Imperial Doctor, go and ask for the Imperial Doctor!" Mrs. Yan commanded again.
A group of people hurriedly got Yan Yuyu into the Prime Minister's Mansion, but Shen Xizhi and Wen Ru were ignored, and only Xiuxiu glanced at her from time to time. But her own young lady was carried into the house, and she naturally had to follow up, so she gritted her teeth, didn't say anything, and raised her feet and entered the door. I thought that as long as I left these two people to dry, maybe they would leave on their own.
The wind was cool in the autumn night, Wen Ru returned to the carriage and gave Shen Xizhi a cloak, she looked at the Prime Minister's Mansion with the door closed, and her expression was quite resentful. "The princess sent people back in person, how could they be so hospitable?"
Even if he knew that the princess's purpose was not for Yan Yuyu, she could be left dry in this autumn wind, and anyone would be dissatisfied.
After standing outside the door for a moment, an old woman suddenly walked out, first thanked Shen Xidao, and then took out a heavy purse.
"With the help of Mrs. Lao, this is a little heart, and I hope you don't dislike it. β
Although he said thank you, he took the silver, just to drive Shen Xizhi away.
"It's just a gesture. Shen Xizhi rejected her, "I met Miss Yan Pingshui, but we met late and became friends in the Strange Building." Sending Miss Yan back to her house today is just for her safety, but your mansion's actions are a little chilling. β
The implication is that if she is for all this amount of silver, why would she run in person, and even wait for so long in this night wind?
The old lady is a good person, and she understands that she is wrong this time, so she smiled and accepted the purse, but she still refused to believe it, but said tentatively: "Madame is kind-hearted, no wonder she can be friends with the eldest lady." It's just that the eldest lady took advantage of the excitement today, but I didn't expect it...... Although the eldest lady is weak, she shouldn't faint suddenly. I wonder what this lady knows?"
"That's a bit ......," Shen Xizhi sighed hesitantly, and then said in the old lady's inquiring gaze, "Miss Yan originally went for the "Reunion of the Mountains and Rivers" and a piece of inkstone, but I didn't expect those two things to be able to clap their hands. Miss Yan likes to dance and write, and she also cherishes those things, and when she misses what she likes in her heart, she ......"
She didn't continue, and the old lady was a little embarrassed by this, and it sounded as if she fainted in anger because she didn't buy what she wanted.
Originally, Shen Xizhi didn't have much hope for this excuse, but it just so happened that Yan Yuyu really had that time before, because the maid in the courtyard accidentally dropped an ancient book into the water while drying calligraphy and paintings. It was a lonely book, Yan Yuyu was the most treasured, but that time, she was so angry that she fainted suddenly.
The vigilance in the old grandmother's eyes was a little less, and the smile on her face became more and more sincere, "Everyone in the world is the eldest lady is the reincarnation of Wenqu Xing, but it's a pity that she mistakenly voted for her daughter, otherwise, she would be a champion." β
For her praise, Shen Xizhi smiled and said nothing.
"The eldest lady's body is fine, but she hasn't woken up yet, can she go into the house to sit down? My wife is also very grateful to Madame, and wants to thank you in person. β
Finally got to the point. It turned out that Mrs. Yan didn't believe Shen Xizhi at first, and suspected that she was deliberately approaching Yan Yuyu, so she let the old lady come out to test it. And now, the old lady has obviously been frightened by Shen Xizhi's words. In addition, Yan Yuyu was unconscious and couldn't tell the truth, and Xiuxiu didn't know anything about it, which made Shen Xizhi's words more and more credible.
Again...... The old lady looked at Shen Xizhi, and weighed it in her heart, this person's clothes are extraordinary, and he can put down his body and wait outside the door, which shows that he is a little sincere.
Approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moonlight was bright, and the clear light was sprinkled on the earth, blurring Shen Xizhi's expression.
She smiled, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey." β
The two entered the Prime Minister's Mansion unimpeded.
smoothly made Wen Ru admire. "Wang ...... Madam, aren't you afraid that Miss Yan will suddenly wake up and tell all those things? And that maid, if she shakes out something unfavorable to you, won't it be a failure?"
The old lady led the way in front of the two, and Wen Ru lowered her voice and was not heard by her.
"If it is debunked and then exposed, isn't that what the so-called soldiers will cover up when they block the water?" The pearls and duanyan that Shen Xizhi bought were placed on the carriage, and she had already instructed the groom to cover the mark of Yuwangfu on the carriage.
The moonlight was good tonight, but the carriage was parked in the dark, and those people would not have been able to see it unless they had examined it carefully.
The most important thing is that he is a good person who sent Yan Yuyu back, and if they inspect the carriage with great fanfare, it will be shameful.
So even if Mrs. Yan was suspicious of her, she wouldn't do anything on the surface, and sent this old lady out to find out about the enemy.
Fortunately, it was fooled.
"Madame is in the courtyard of the eldest lady, please come with the old slaveβ"
The old lady led the two into the courtyard, but as soon as they walked outside Yan Yuyu's boudoir, they heard Mrs. Yan's cry.
Shen Xizhi consciously stopped, "It seems that Miss Yan hasn't woken up yet, and when Mrs. Yan is sad again, I can't bother." β
The old lady had a better impression in her heart because of her general knowledge, and immediately said: "The eldest lady's study is here, if you don't mind, you might as well stay for a while." β
It's really a matter of having a pillow when you are sleepy. But Shen Xizhi still excused himself a few words, saying that the study was Miss Yan's private domain, and it was difficult for her to set foot in it.
But as soon as these words came out, the old lady trusted her even more, "What did you say? You are a friend of the eldest lady, there is no place in this courtyard that you can't go, please come here." β
So he easily entered Yan Yuyu's study.
