When the emperor dealt with those concubines of the previous dynasty, she was just a concubine without a title, and it was difficult to keep herself, let alone take care of other people's affairs.

"By the way, what do you ask her to do?" Huang Qiyu suddenly reacted that something was wrong, looked at Cheng Shuiyao with a puzzled expression, and said in a very firm tone, "Have you seen her?" ”

"Well," Cheng Shuiyao bowed his head, not telling this lie.

When she went to see Jiang Qingqing before, although she walked all the way, there was no guarantee that no one would see it at all, if the concubine wanted to check, it was estimated that she would be able to find out soon, and she didn't have to tell this lie.

"What is she looking for you for?"

Huang Qiyu keenly discovered the problem here, and her eyes were sharp, "What do you have to do with her?" ”

"I don't know, but according to what she said, she should be my aunt," Cheng Shuiyao shrugged her shoulders and said with an uncertain expression, "but I don't believe her side of the story, so I want to check it again." ”

"She's your aunt?" Huang Qiyu was stunned for a moment when she heard this, obviously she didn't expect the two of them to have this relationship.

But as a concubine in the palace, she had to warn Cheng Shuiyao a few words.

"This matter involves royal secrets, you have to grasp the scale, otherwise it will be easy to cause trouble," Huang Qiyu lowered her voice and warned Cheng Shuiyao with a serious face.

"Concubine Niangniang, please rest assured, I will grasp the scale and will not challenge the royal face in vain," Cheng Shuiyao knew that Huang Qiyu was doing this for her own good, so she responded with a smile.

"Hmm," Huang Qiyu nodded, also believing Cheng Shuiyao, and didn't say anything more.

However, such a big thing was gently exposed by Cheng Shuiyao with a question, and she was still a little uneasy, so she specially rewarded Cheng Shuiyao with a bunch of jewelry.

Cheng Shuiyao didn't refuse, sat with the others for a while, and then found a chance to go home.

When he came back, he didn't see Xiao Ji, Cheng Shuiyao guessed that he probably went to the barracks, and he didn't take this matter to heart, so he went back to his house and found Moqi.

"What do you command, Madame?"

Moqi reacted quickly, and when she saw Cheng Shuiyao's expression, she knew that she was going to say something, and she didn't have the usual hangings at all.

"You go and search for the information of my mother's Jiang family, the more things, the better," Cheng Shuiyao had a serious expression and directly told him everything he wanted to check.

"The Jiang family? It's the richest man in Jiangnan," Mo Qi quickly reflected who the Jiang family in her mouth was, and quickly nodded and left.

Cheng Shuiyao frowned slightly, but with the conditions she knew so far, she couldn't calculate what decision she should make, so she could only put this matter aside for the time being.

"Madam, Miss Duan Ran is here, she wants to see you," Xiaoyun hurriedly came in to report, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw Cheng Shuiyao with a sad face, and she was a little skeptical that she was right to come in now.

"I'm fine, you call her in!"

Cheng Shuiyao saw her concerns, didn't say anything, and nodded directly and asked her to call someone in.

Xiao Yun nodded, and after a while, he brought Duan Ran in.

"Did you come to me today for something?" Cheng Shuiyao had already cleaned up her expression and looked at Duan Ran with a smile on her face.

"There was a delay a few days ago, and I didn't go to the opening of your restaurant, this time I made a special trip to make amends to you," Duan Ran said as he carried the things in his hand.

"What is this?" Cheng Shuiyao glanced at it, but didn't see what it was.

"This is a peach blossom brew that my father has treasured for decades, and I stole it with great effort, I'm okay to you," Duan Ran's expression was a little proud, and he shook the wine in his hand comfortably.

"Treasured for decades?"

The corners of Cheng Shuiyao's eyes twitched, and she applauded this girl's courage in her heart.

If Master Duan knew that Duan Ran had stolen his wine, he would probably be angry.

"That's right, this wine tastes good," Duan Ran waved his hand nonchalantly, it seemed that this kind of thing was not less.

Cheng Shuiyao nodded, and hurriedly asked Xiaoyun to take the wine, beckoning Duan Ran to sit down beside him.

"Why are you so busy?" Cheng Shuiyao poured her a cup of tea with a smile, and her tone was a little probing.

Duan Ran is an idle lady on weekdays, and there is rarely anything worth her busy about.

"Some things on the rivers and lakes," Duan Ran was willing to go into detail, but waved his hand helplessly, "But fortunately, things are almost busy, and I always have some time to rest." ”

"Then you might as well stay with me for a few days, I have to entertain you well," Cheng Shuiyao smiled, seeing that she didn't want to say more, and didn't break the casserole to ask the end.

"If you want to be here, you don't have to, otherwise you will delay the relationship between the two of you more," Duan Ran glanced at Cheng Shuiyao teasingly, and said with a mocking expression, "But this meal can't be eaten less, I haven't tasted your craftsmanship for a long time, you have to cook for me yourself." ”

"Okay, Miss Duan, can't I cook for you?"

Cheng Shuiyao shook her head, not thinking that this was anything at all.

Duan Ran is here, she will definitely cook it herself.

"What's the matter with you right now?" When Duan Ran heard his satisfactory answer, his mood jumped up, and he looked at Cheng Shuiyao expectantly, "Let's go out shopping together." ”

"This ......"

Cheng Shuiyao was a little embarrassed.

Moqi's search for news should be fast, and she wanted to deal with Jiang Qingqing's matter first, but Duan Ran didn't want to refuse.

"What else do you have?"

Duan Ran saw Cheng Shuiyao's hesitation, and said quite heartily, "Then I won't bother you, I'll go out for a walk by myself first, and come to you for dinner in the evening." ”

"Okay," Cheng Shuiyao saw that Duan Ran was not reluctant, and nodded briskly, "I'll let Xiaoyun go out with you, and if there's anything, I'll tell her." ”

"Then there's no need, I'm so comfortable going out alone, besides, it's not that I don't have the ability to protect myself," Duan Ran waved his hand again and again, and didn't mean to let Xiaoyun accompany him at all.

She is used to being idle, and her voice has become rarely followed by subordinates, let alone other people's subordinates.

"What you said makes sense, I'm too worried," Cheng Shuiyao realized that she was thinking a little too much, and nodded with a smile, "Then if you come across something delicious, bring me a copy back, I haven't eaten street snacks for a long time." ”

"Okay," Duan Ran dragged out his tone and nodded with a smile, "Then I'll go." ”

With that, Duan Ran left the house and walked briskly outside.

"Ma'am, does it really matter?"

Xiaoyun was as worried as ever, and always felt that it was not appropriate for Duan Ran to go out alone.

"It doesn't matter who she is," Cheng Shuiyao waved his hand, not very worried about this.
