After returning to Qingyu Residence, Miaozhu took out the silver and said angrily: "Miss, I went to the accounting office in the afternoon to get the monthly payment for the three of us. The lady only has six taels of silver, the servant has one tael, and Mother Zhao has one tael."

"

Li Yuyan frowned slightly: "That much?"

"The maid thought it was too little at the time, but the accountant said that the monthly salary in the mansion was six taels for the legitimate young lady, and four taels for the concubine. The eldest maid was one tael, and Zhao's mother originally had five hundred cents, because Qingyuju didn't have more people yet.

Just give Mother Zhao one or two."

Mother Zhao whispered: "This is on the surface. Those who have biological mothers will receive subsidies privately."

She was originally the maid of the late madam, but after the late madam passed away, she began to pretend to be deaf and dumb. The monthly payment kept falling again and again, which she had already seen clearly.

Miaozhu nodded: "My maid secretly inquired and found out that the third lady said she only had six taels, but she actually got twenty taels every month."

They were picked up temporarily from a ravine, and they didn't bring much money with them. If the young lady wants to investigate the affairs of the madam and the young master, she must take care of it. What should she do with such a small amount of money now?

Li Yuyan noticed her concerns and said softly: "Don't worry about the money."

"Miss, do you have any ideas?"

"I'll collect some principal and interest tonight." Li Yuyan smiled easily.

the other side.

After Li Manting returned home, she couldn't wait to go into her study room and practice the pen movements she saw during school break dozens of times.

It was clearly just a vertical hook, and she couldn't practice Li Yuyan's calm and calm silver-hook tail.

For a moment, she was so angry that she threw her pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the floor.

Without a profound foundation of skills, it would be impossible to write in that state. Li Manting increasingly felt that it was just a coincidence that Li Yuyan was practicing writing.

She would feel better if she thought so.

--

At night.

The spring night is quiet and the evening breeze is gentle.

Seeing Li Yuyan wearing men's clothes and her hair tied up, Miaozhu said excitedly: "Miss, bring your maid!"

Li Yuyan stretched out her hand and touched her forehead: "Mother Zhao is guarding the yard. Just pretend to be me in the house. If someone comes, you can still handle it."

"Don't worry, miss!" Miaozhu nodded heavily, then brought warm water and helped his lady gently peel off the patches of skin on her face.

I have been sticking to the patch of skin for several days. Even though the skin is my own, I still feel some discomfort in the area where it was stuck.

Li Yuyan washed her face carefully and applied homemade balm, which relieved her a lot.

"Miss...Miss..." Zhao's mother came in. As soon as she saw her young lady with a face as smooth as jade, she was so shocked that she couldn't say a word.

"In Li Mansion, only the three of us know about this matter."

Mother Zhao is the person next to her mother, and Li Yuyan had no intention of hiding it from her.

"Yes, the old slave knows!" As she spoke, Zhao's mother felt uncomfortable, "My lady has a fairy-like appearance, and she married a prince, wouldn't that mean..."

Miaozhu giggled: "Put flowers on cow dung?"

Mother Zhao burst out laughing: "You little naughty boy!"

Li Yuyan smiled softly, raised her hand to trace her originally soft eyebrows, and made her face more masculine, with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and her eyebrows were handsome.

To find out the cause of her eldest brother's death, she needed to sneak into the Ministry of War to check the files of the war. But it was not that easy to sneak into the Ministry of War, so she planned to start with Li Yu.

I'm going to meet him tonight.

Besides, the money he owed her should be paid back.

After asking Mother Zhao to communicate with Miaozhu, Li Yuyan came to the yard, took advantage of the darkness, jumped onto the roof, and quietly left the Li Mansion.

According to the address given by Li Yu, Li Yuyan came to a restaurant.

Although it was already Haishi, the restaurant was extremely lively.

I asked the waiter for a private room, and as I was approaching the second floor on the stairs, two people came down.

One of them was Ye Yiheng, and the other was a young man I had seen in the palace before.

If Ye Yiheng was truly blind, he would not be able to recognize her, but the person next to him might associate her with the one he had seen in the palace.

Although she was somewhat confident in her appearance as a man, Li Yuyan subconsciously unfolded her folding fan and quietly covered her face.

"The owner of this restaurant doesn't know how he does business. I don't think the food is as good as the Zuixian Restaurant next door, but there is an endless stream of customers. Look, it's already this hour and there are still people coming." Jiang Lecheng said casually.

He raised his eyes and saw a very handsome young man.

Hey, this person seems familiar, but I can’t remember where I’ve seen him before.

When I wanted to look again, the young man had already gone up to the second floor.

Li Yuyan put away the folding fan, thought for a moment, and felt something was wrong.

If Ye Yiheng was really blind, how could he walk up the stairs without help?

She turned her head slightly and looked towards the stairs...

At this moment, Ye Yiheng, whose eyes were covered with white gauze, happened to turn his head.

For some reason, Ye Yiheng, whose eyes were covered with white gauze, made her a little nervous. Li Yuyan hurriedly hid behind the pillar.

Arriving at the lobby on the first floor, Ye Yiheng murmured to himself: "Is there someone watching us from behind?"

It's all due to eye problems. If he couldn't only see people's outlines at this moment, why would he be so uncertain?

Jiang Lecheng heard this and looked around upstairs and downstairs: "No, maybe you feel something is wrong?"

At this moment, Li Yuyan had already entered the private room, sat down calmly, and said to the waiter: "Please ask your big boss to come out."

"Sir, is it because of my poor service that it's difficult for you to order?"

"Not really, it's just that I have something important to say, and I want to ask my little brother for a favor."

Unexpectedly, the young master in front of him was quite polite. The waiter wanted to scold him but couldn't say anything, so he invited the shopkeeper on the spot.

Li Yuyan glanced at the shopkeeper and shook her head: "What I want to see is your big boss behind the scenes."

The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes, fearing that the person in front of him was here to cause trouble.

I occupied a private room for no reason without ordering food, and I still want to meet the big boss. How can such a thing happen?

Besides, how can he meet the big boss just as he says?

"Young master, if you don't want to drink or eat, then please go out and don't delay our business!" The shopkeeper proudly made a gesture of invitation, "If you want to cheat you with food or drink, we won't accept you in this store!"

Li Yuyan raised the corners of her lips slightly, took out the jade pendant and gently placed it on the table.

The sound of the jade pendant touching the table is soft but crisp.

The young master in front of him looked so calm. The shopkeeper couldn't believe his eyes. He rubbed his eyes and saw the jade pendant on the table clearly.

Then he hurriedly bowed and apologized: "Young man, I am too blind to see Mount Tai. I forgive you, sir! I will go and invite the big boss over right now."

"It's okay, I just need to wait a little longer." Li Yuyan straightened her robes, her expression still calm.

A thin layer of sweat appeared on the forehead of the shopkeeper, and he shouted to the waiter: "You guys who have no eyesight, why don't you serve good tea to your distinguished guests!"

The waiter said yes, but secretly complained that in terms of eyesight, the shopkeeper was just like this. However, how could his own shopkeeper change so much when he saw a jade pendant?

The shopkeeper was so anxious that he almost hit the door frame, took a step back, smiled awkwardly at Li Yuyan, and then left the private room.
