Ping 'er sat in the carriage hired by Ning Jun and got off nervously in front of the Rong Mansion's corner gate.
Entering through the corner door, a few servants immediately carried the sedan chair over. "Taitai and Second Grandmother are still in the Prince's mansion," Ping 'er urged with a smile."They ordered me to come back to get something." Hurry up. If you delay and Second Grandmother blames you, I can't protect you.”
Second Grandmother was usually a demon god. Whoever ran into her hands would be unlucky.
Therefore, how could these few servants dare to hesitate? He only wished he had two less legs to carry the palanquin so quickly. They passed through the flower gate of Grandmother Jia's courtyard and stopped outside the hall in the backyard. The old woman came up and lifted the curtain of the palanquin. She helped Ping 'er out of the palanquin and asked with a smile,"Didn't Miss Ping go to the Wang Family with Taitai and Second Grandmother? Why are you back?"
"However, Aunt's wife mentioned something from seven or eight years ago. At that time, there were rumors about the appearance of the pearl flowers in the palace. She asked if our grandmother still had them." Grandma sent me back to look for it. After I find it, I have to go back!”She used a handkerchief to wipe her neck. She was so natural that no one suspected her.
After passing through the hall, there was a wide road between the north and south. The north side was Sister Feng's courtyard. However, Ping 'er first turned back to Grandmother Jia's backyard and stood on tiptoe to look inside. She happened to bump into the mandarin ducks in front of Grandmother Jia.
Yuanyang stopped her and asked with a smile,"Why are you so flustered?" Old Mistress was still asking why Second Grandmother and the others had not returned yet. He wondered if Baoyu was hungry from all the knocking. He asked the kitchen to prepare a few of Second Master Bao's favorite dishes!”
Ping 'er quickly put away her panic and smiled." Second Master Bao has Madam and Second Grandmother to take care of him. How can he be like this?" Old Mistress felt sorry for Second Master Bao, so she was sure that he would be back in the afternoon. I'm going to take the shape of the old pearl hairpin for Grandma. Is the old lady resting now?"
Yuanyang pulled Ping 'er to the veranda and whispered,""Old Lady woke up early this morning and was a little tired. She ate some rice porridge and leaned on the bed to rest. Is there something wrong?"
Ping 'er lowered her head and couldn't help but look sad.”Did Second Master Lian go out?"
Yuanyang sized her up and chuckled. She quickly said,"No wonder you didn't know. Today, Xining King's Mansion came to report the death of the old prince. Not only the First Master, but even the Old Master, Uncle Zhen, Second Master Lian, and the rest of the family had gone to offer their condolences. They had just left the house. Old Lady should have gone too, but her health was not good, so she let Lady and Grandma Zhen go.”
Ping 'er's heart was in a mess, but there was nothing she could do.”Since that's the case, Uncle's wife will definitely be going as well. I'll go back to get my things.”
Yuanyang teased,"You know that Second Master Lian isn't here, so you don't want to talk to me?"”
Ping 'er blushed and spat,"You little hoof with a rotten mouth. I'll teach you a lesson when we get back!"”
Yuanyang was still laughing behind her. Ping 'er picked up the corner of her skirt and hurried back to the small courtyard. After entering the west wing room, Ping 'er chased the little girl out. She opened the cabinet and took out a brocade box. There were a few stacks of silver notes neatly stacked. There was no need to count them. Each stack was worth ten thousand taels.
Ping 'er took out a stack and then ten pieces. She wrapped them carefully with a handkerchief and held them tightly in her hands.”Grandma, you've put in so much effort, provoked so many people to gossip, and earned so much money at the expense of your vicious reputation. Now that you've given away so much money, you should be fine!”
Let's hope so, right?
That Sun Shaozu didn't look like a bad person. He would definitely keep his promise.
She comforted herself like this. Since Ning Jun didn't seem like a bad person, then who was the bad person? Sister Feng seemed to be worse than Ning Jun?
Ping 'er's heart was even more chaotic.
She didn't stop. She came out of the corner door and got into the carriage again, returning to the courtyard from before.
When they got out of the carriage, the courtyard was empty. Only a manservant came up." Our master has instructed us to ask Nineteenth Concubine to hand over the silver notes to this servant.”
"If you don't let Second Grandmother go, I won't give it to you." Ping 'er took two steps back and said warily.”
The servant boy smiled." Nineteenth Concubine, please leave. Eighteenth Concubine is still resting in the room."”
Ping 'er held her bundle and followed the servant outside the house.
Sister Feng is still resting inside." Second Grandmother?" she shouted.
"Nineteenth Concubine?" the servant said with a smile.”He stood in front of Ping 'er.
However, Ping 'er looked at him." Where's your master? I want to give it to him personally."
The manservant was about to speak when Ning Jun walked out from the back of the corridor." Miss Ping, I thought I would never see you again."”He waved his hand and the servant disappeared.
Ping 'er looked at the man in front of her. She couldn't tell who he was. She sighed and stretched out her hand." This is eleven thousand silver. Count it."”
Ning Jun took it with a smile." I believe in Miss Ping."”The two of them pushed the door open and entered.
Ping 'er hurriedly ran over to Sister Feng's side." Second Grandmother? Wake up!"
Ning Jun smiled." I might have been a little too heavy-handed before, but it's okay. At most, I'll have a headache later."”
Ping 'er carefully checked Sister Feng's clothes and hair, and there was no trace of anything unusual. Only then did she feel relieved." At least you keep your word."”
Ning Jun laughed and said,"I, Sun, am an indomitable spirit. I disdain to do things that take advantage of others when they are in danger." What happened today was really just an accident."
Ping Er glanced at him and said coldly,""Only you know if it's unexpected or not. "Also…" A strange look flashed across her eyes."Don't think that you can rest easy just because you made up a fake name and place. You'll regret underestimating Second Grandmother's methods!”
Ning Jun spread out his hands." Sun Shaozu is listed in the Ministry of War. Your Second Grandmother can investigate it herself."”
"I don't know if you're smart or stupid. Do you think that thing can…" Ping Er suddenly blushed and came to her senses.
This was helping the bad guys to deal with his grandmother. How could he do that?
"Do you think that thing can control her?" Ning Jun laughed. As long as she sends a message to the Ministry of War, she will have countless opportunities to punish me.”
Ping 'er snorted coldly." Since you already understand, why did you still do this? I think you'd better run!"
Ning Jun grabbed Ping 'er's hand.
Ping 'er tried to shake it off a few times, but she couldn't. She blushed and said,"If you continue like this, I'll really scream!”
Only then did Ning Jun let go." You're a kind-hearted girl. If you and your Second Grandmother were in the other person's shoes, today's incident would not have happened.”
"This is Second Grandmother. If it were me, I'd probably be in your hands already."”Her face turned red from embarrassment.
Ning Jun laughed and took out a stack of silver notes to return to Ping 'er." Consider it your reward for what you said just now." I'll give you a piece of advice. Your Second Grandmother is warm-hearted but cold. Keep this money well. Even if there's a mishap in the future, there's still a step back.”
Ping 'er looked at Ning Jun's back view in a daze, her heart in a mess.
At this moment, Sister Phoenix moaned.
Ping 'er put away the silver notes in her hands in a panic.
Sister Phoenix opened her eyes and sat up abruptly. She first looked at her dress and then at the room. She shouted coldly,"What about him?"
"He's already gone," said Ping 'er hurriedly.”
Sister Phoenix stood up and rolled up her sleeves. She scolded,"This bastard, a heartless seed who has been struck by lightning! No matter how far he hides, I'll find him. If I don't grind his bones into ashes and bury him in a manure pit, my surname isn't Wang!”
Ping 'er wanted to defend herself a few times, but she couldn't get a word in.
When she was tired of scolding, she asked,"Did you give him money?"”
Ping 'er nodded." Yes…" Before she could finish, Sister Phoenix slapped her across the face." You unreasonable bastard. Did my money come from the wind?" Speak! How much did you give him?"
Ping 'er covered her face, feeling as wronged as she could.
Sister Phoenix grabbed her collar and scolded,"Are you mute or deaf? Speak!" She was so anxious that she unbuttoned her lower jaw.
Ping 'er had nowhere to complain, so she was so angry that her tears could not stop flowing.
"How much did you give me?" Sister Phoenix jumped up and scolded anxiously.”
Ping 'er allowed her tears to flow down her face." Grandma and that person agreed on a total of 11,000 taels.”
"What?" Sister Phoenix's face was pale as if she had lost her soul. She muttered," 11,000 taels…" It would take several years to deposit money.
One of the master and servant was stunned while the other cried. After a while, Sister Phoenix stood up and shouted,"Why are you crying? Useless whore. When I go back, I'll let uncle investigate this Sun Shaozu who deserves to be cut into pieces! Do you think you can kill me by writing something?”
She smiled coldly." Let's see how he dies!”He stretched out his hand and saw that his left and right palms were all red. It seemed to be ink?
Ping 'er quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped Sister Feng's face.
Sister Phoenix's expression changed drastically as she gritted her teeth." This bastard! I really wanted to bite off his flesh bit by bit.”
Ping 'er waited for her to calm down a little before persuading,"Second Grandmother, even if you want to take revenge, you should go back first. I wonder if he has gone far."
Sister Phoenix snorted coldly." I've worked hard for a year because of you! From tomorrow onwards, all the silver in the public treasury will be used to lend money.”Although she didn't know what it meant to take back what she had lost, it didn't stop her from using her official position for personal gain.
Ping 'er wanted to persuade him. Previously, it had already caused a storm in the city. If he did this again, it would definitely cause trouble.
However, how could Sister Phoenix listen now?
Thus, they tidied up their clothes and pushed the door open.
Wang Er and the others were tied up tightly and thrown into the courtyard.
Ping 'er untied them.
Wang 'er stood up and scolded," These brats, if I see them again, I'll beat them up until they even have yellow stones."”
"You've been beaten up like this, and you still have the face to scold me?" Sister Phoenix shouted. Hurry up and catch the car. It was more important to go back! I'll let this matter rot in my stomach. If anyone dares to say anything, I'll send you to the mass grave outside the city to feed the dogs!”
Wang 'er and the others didn't dare to say anything. They were as obedient as quails and went to drive the carriage.
Nothing happened along the way.
After getting out of the car, Sister Feng immediately became energetic. She first went to the old lady's courtyard to wait on her, then went to the old lady's courtyard. She said that she went to Huazhi Lane to worship Guanyin and Bodhisattva, so she returned late.
Sister Phoenix was still decisive and capable. She laughed non-stop, and there was not a trace of depression or anger on her face.
It was late, and she lay on the bed alone, crying non-stop.
Ping 'er came in with water." Second Grandmother, wash up and rest.”
"Has Second Master not returned yet?" asked Sister Feng as she wiped her tears.”
"Xing 'er came back and said that Second Master is at Xining King's Mansion tonight, so he won't be returning."”
"I've never counted on him," sneered Sister Feng. Wang 'er went to deliver a letter to Second Uncle. How is it?”
Ping 'er paused for a moment before saying," Don't be anxious, Grandma. We'll have to go to the Ministry tomorrow to find out at the earliest."”
Sister Phoenix washed her hands and sighed dejectedly."Even if we find out, we can't act rashly. That person was a meticulous person. If she was not careful, she was afraid that she would fall into his hands again.”
Seeing that Sister Phoenix was not as angry as she was at the beginning, Ping Er took the opportunity to persuade her,"Second Grandma, to put it bluntly, if Grandma didn't want to extort a sum of money from Sun Shaozu today, this matter wouldn't have happened.”
Sister Phoenix glared at her and sneered,"You think he's a good person? You actually believed it! He dared to rob me, so shouldn't he compensate me?”
"Then you asked for too much, Grandma," Ping 'er said.”
Sister Phoenix reached out to pinch her and scolded,"Which side are you on?" To think that I usually dote on you so much!"
Ping 'er's face was still burning with pain.
"If it's only three to five thousand taels, it might work!" Sister Feng couldn't help but laugh at herself.”
Ping 'er still had a few thousand taels in her arms. She lowered her head and did not say anything. She carried the water out.
"This little b * tch!" Feng Jie took off her clothes and rested.
Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong. He looked at his clothes carefully and found that the red caltrop coat he wore was missing.
She took off her shoes and socks in a panic. Her feet were also red with ink…
Sister Phoenix felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and her entire person was in a bad state.
