Chapter 35: That's right, then stop talking

An Yurou was furious, "Two pounds for free? Why don't you grab it!?"

The output of real Yuqian Longjing every year is limited and expensive. She only got a small box because of Duke An Guo's favor for the Yue family.

"It's me who has embarrassed my sister." An Yueli rubbed the rim of the white porcelain cup and smiled meaningfully, "I thought your tea was so strong because you usually produce and sell it yourself."

"What?"

Although An Yurou didn't understand it, she intuitively felt that it was not a good thing to say.

"Do you want to search or not?"

While the other party reached out to snatch away the teapot, An Yueli drank the water in the cup and Shi Shiran stood up.

"Since my sister has asked so, I will reluctantly look around."

"..."

She walked around outside and asked, pointing to a vase on the Baibao Pavilion.

"What's this?"

"Cloison enamel plum vase."

An Yueli took the thing in her hand and carefully appreciated it inside and outside, and finally concluded.

"Although the craftsmanship is not as good as what I collected at home before, it is pretty good to be able to achieve this level."

An Yurou was so angry that she was about to speak, but saw that the other party was interested in the paintings on the wall.

"What is this?"

"Picture of a mountain landscape with bridges, painted by the former Master Mei. If you can't understand the painting, can't you understand the writing?"

An Yueli ignored the other party's ridicule and took a closer look.

"The painting is good, but it doesn't match the golden furnishings in your room."

She commented as she walked, and the search revealed the momentum of previous ward rounds.

At first, An Yurou was unconvinced and retorted behind An Yueli. It was not until the other party laughed at her that the color of the bead curtains she used for partitions was too messy that she finally exploded.

"That's enough. Do you think I'm a maid? I have to introduce everything to you. Besides, I live in this room now, not you. You have no control over it!"

An Yueli was stunned and nodded sincerely.

"You're right, then don't say it."

"..."

Ignoring An Yurou's murderous gaze, An Yueli opened the bead curtain and went to the bedroom.

This is her most private space. Even if An Yurou doesn't want to follow suit, she doesn't dare to let it go.

"Go ahead and search, and I'll see what you can find."

An Yueli looked around, and her eyes finally fell on the bed curtain. She stepped forward and took the brocade for making the bed curtain and looked at it for a long time, then put it under her nose and smelled it, her expression gradually became serious.

An Yurou and maid Pei'er looked at each other, and the two of them became nervous and guilty.

"What, there's something wrong with the bed curtain?"

"Yes." An Yueli nodded sharply.

An Yurou became even more panicked, "What's the problem?"

"Wrong use." An Yueli reminded strictly, "Although the brocade in Sichuan is good, the purple set is used in autumn. The brocade is slightly thick and heavy, which is not conducive to ventilation and heat dissipation, and can easily lead to accumulation of heat.

Don’t leave.”

"ah?"

"If I remember correctly, I had a total of four sets of bed curtains made. The cyan set was made of tulle embroidered on both sides, which is more suitable for summer use." An Yueli said and told Pei'er, "You

Go back and find the things and soak them in water boiled with mugwort and mint, so that they can have a cooling effect."

Perhaps her expression was so serious that Pei'er subconsciously followed An Yueli's train of thought and said she was right. It wasn't until she saw her master's face turned dark that she realized she had expressed the wrong attitude.

"You don't have to worry about what I want to use?" An Yurou's temper suddenly broke out, and Pei'er was also implicated, "And you, if you can't recognize who the master is, follow her back to Beiyuan!

"

"Miss, calm down!" Pei'er quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, "This slave only listens to the young lady. Please have mercy on me."

An Yueli sighed, "That's all, you can keep it hot if you like. Don't worry, I'm too busy. I've finished searching the room and haven't found anything suspicious yet, so I'll go back first."

After leaving these words, she turned around and walked out without any sloppiness.

At the same time, Huansha, Fuyan and others also came to Ziguangyuan to report the situation in the main courtyard.

"Princess Qi, the main courtyard has been searched and no ambergris was found."

Fu Yan said, taking the initiative to step forward and support An Yueli's arm, looking worriedly at the familiar and unfamiliar scenery around her.

"Miss, are you okay?"

An Yueli noticed that she quietly changed her title at this time, and knew that the other party was afraid that she would be hurt by the situation, so she raised her lips in a comforting manner.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

At the same time, she lowered her voice and gave Huansha and others a few words of advice before returning to Beiyuan talking and laughing.

Although An Yueli is gone, the shadow left behind makes people feel sad.

Pei'er cautiously served the tea, "Miss, don't be angry, Princess Xiao didn't find any flaws, so we are half successful. Next, we just need to follow the madam's request and send out the ambergris in time."

"

When talking about serious matters, An Yurou's expression softened a bit.

"You go and ask someone to prepare the car, and I will send the things away now."

"yes."

"And!" An Yurou called to the other party, and after a moment of depression, she still ordered unwillingly, "Take off the current bed curtains and throw them away!"

"Throw it away?" Pei'er was very surprised, "But Miss likes this set of bed curtains made of Shu brocade the most. She also said that its embroidery technique is extraordinary and is better than Princess Xiao's stitching technique."

Bang——!

An Yurou slammed the table, "Are you a young lady or am I a young lady? If you are told to take it and throw it away, I will throw it away! I, the legitimate daughter of Duke An Guo, still need this little thing!"

Seeing that the other party was getting angry, Pei'er quickly retreated with her tail between her legs.





Less than half an hour later.

An Yurou carried a wooden box engraved with peony patterns on the carriage and came to Shanzhitang.

When she got off the car, Yin Huaizhi went out to greet her in person.

"Did you get the stuff?"

An Yurou raised her eyebrows proudly, "If I take action, it will be absolutely foolproof."

Yin Huaizhi was overjoyed when he saw the familiar wooden box.

"Okay, I knew you would succeed. Come on, come in quickly."

It wasn't until the two figures disappeared that An Yueli walked out from the street corner with Huansha.

"Princess, how do you know that the second lady hasn't brought Ambergris out of the house yet?"

"The thing was lost last night, and the thief was a woman. When I was testing An Yurou, Pei'er acted extremely nervous. That's why I speculated that it was Pei'er who broke into the house. She is a maid who can't even open the second door.

If you can't get out, how can you send things out of the house overnight?"

"So that's it. So what should we do now? Should we go directly to the door and catch him?"

"It's too late. Once the thing is in Yin Huaizhi's hands, he will never admit it."

An Yueli squinted her eyes and looked around the street, her eyes fixed on an old Taoist fortune teller not far away.

"Huansha, have you ever seen someone possessed by evil spirits?"

"Bewitched?"
