Chapter 074 He saw this pearl flower in Lady Tong's hair
Ping Niang's usually bright red and phoenix eyes were now covered with bloodshot eyes, and her brows and corners of her eyes showed exhaustion.
"The eldest lady is right, I really have no way out." Ping Niang sighed deeply, "Now Madam is still ill and has not yet freed up her hands. When she recovers, she will know these things. The third girl told the master everything. Will there still be a way for us to survive by then?
"Eldest girl, I beg you." Ping Niang suddenly stood up and knelt in front of Shen Tianshu, "I have a humble life in this life, and I don't ask for anything more. I just hope that the eldest lady can help the third girl at the critical moment. She really doesn't have any bad intentions. The reason why she always follows the second girl to stir up troubles is because I asked her to do so. It's just to make life a little easier in the house... We are just doing this at home. He is just a person with a higher status than the servant, not even a serious master..."
"Aunt Ping, don't talk nonsense. Yunhui is my father's daughter, so of course she is a serious master." Shen Tianshu interrupted.
Ping Niang said hurriedly: "I said the wrong thing..."
"That's all, since you are asking to come to my door, let's open the skylight and talk openly. You want to ask me to protect Yun Hui, so what benefits can you bring to me?"
"If the eldest lady wants to know the news from Madam..." Ping Niang said cautiously, "I must tell you everything I know."
"Really?" Shen Tianshu sneered, walked to Ping Niang, and whispered something in her ear.
Although Shen Tianshu's voice was very soft, in Ping Niang's ears it was like a thunder, which made her almost fly away.
"Ah -" she screamed uncontrollably, ducked back, fell to the ground, and asked in a trembling voice, "How did the big girl know about this?"
Shen Tianshu gently touched the golden hairpin on his wrist, curled his lips and said with a smile: "Originally it was just a suspicion, but now you have confirmed it for me."
"Big girl..."
Yesterday, when Shen Yunhui said that Shen Tianshu was a bit scary, Ping Niang didn't take it seriously, thinking that she was just frightened by the two gangsters.
Now she finally felt the fear that Shen Yunhui mentioned.
At first glance, Shen Tianshu still looks gentle and quiet, but as soon as he meets her eyes, he suddenly feels like someone has seen through all disguises and penetrated his heart.
"Since we want to cooperate, we should be a little sincere." Shen Tianshu fiddled with the golden hairpin on his wrist and said casually, "You have to understand that it is you who need my help, but you are not worthy of me. None. If there are no conditions that can impress me, there is absolutely no need for me to carry the burden of Shen Yunhui on myself, are you right?"
Ping Niang's sweat dropped in an instant. She suddenly realized it at this moment. From the moment she walked in, Nanny Yang said, "Miss, I've been waiting for you for a long time." She fell into the rhythm designed by Shen Tianshu. I was led by her all the way, but it was too late to come back to my senses at this time, and I had completely fallen into passivity.
Seeing that Ping Niang finally reacted, Shen Tianshu smiled slightly and said: "You don't have to be afraid, I am different from Mr. Xu. As long as you are honest and obedient, I promise to find a good marriage for Shen Yunhui and protect you in your old age." No worries.”
Now that the matter was over, Ping Niang relaxed and said with a wry smile: "The big girl is really amazing. Everyone had missed her before."
Shen Tianshu said with a smile: "Ping Niang, you are a smart person and know how to make choices. Trust me, you will not regret it."
After sending Ping Niang away, Shen Tianshu finally asked someone to take off his headdress, relax his scalp that had been tense for the day, and changed his clothes to prepare for bed.
Grandma Yang packed up the clothes and jewelry she had changed and put them back in place one by one, but when she looked around, one of the beaded flowers was missing.
"Girl, did you go out wearing this pair of beaded flowers yesterday?" Nanny Yang went to the outhouse to ask Minghui.
"Sister Mingyu combed the girl's hair yesterday, and I didn't pay attention..." Minghui was confused by the question, "I just remember that the girl looked pretty yesterday, more beautiful than all the girls present."
"Oh, who asked you if you are beautiful?" Grandma Yang was really angry and funny, "Of course the girl is beautiful, but I am asking about Zhuhua!"
"Is this pearl flower very expensive?" Minghui didn't know the reason. What she saw in her hand seemed to be an ordinary small broken pearl flower. There were neither large pearls nor gold. of.
"It doesn't matter whether it's expensive or not, the key is that it's something that's personal to a girl."
Shen Tianshu heard the answer in the room: "I ran to several places yesterday. I was in a hurry and confused. I probably accidentally dropped the pearl flower somewhere. There is no need to look for it."
Aunt Yang said and simply taught Minghui directly, "When you are a servant around a girl, you must be discerning and attentive. The jewelry, purses, and handkerchiefs that the girl usually uses are all very important and must be looked at. It’s tight. Fortunately, this beaded flower was not specially made, otherwise it would be a big deal if it were lost.”
Minghui immediately understood when she heard the handkerchief and said, "Mother Yang, are you saying that if a bad person gets it, she might use it to defraud the government office of money?"
"..." Aunt Yang raised her hand and knocked on Minghui's forehead, "Oh, I'm so angry. Is this a lump on your head or a lump on your head? You can't memorize medical books very quickly. Let's do other things. Why are you so brainless?
"If it is a custom-made item, it will have the mark of the bank on it, and the bank will also have a backing. If it is stolen by some prodigal, then it will be taken out and said to be a token of love given by the girl, wouldn't it be ruined? The girl’s reputation! So, when you follow the girl out from now on, you have to help her guard these things.”
"Mother Yang, wouldn't I understand if you said this earlier?" Minghui promised again and again, "In the future, I will use the same seriousness as memorizing medicinal materials when I was a child to remember what the girl was wearing and what she wore, and I will make sure not to wear anything. Come back after losing your place."
When Shen Tianshu heard Minghui talking about memorizing medicinal materials when she was a child, she couldn't help but think of her own childhood. When she was no taller than the table, she was already taught by her grandfather to identify various medicinal materials. She not only had to look at their shapes, smell their smells, and taste their tastes, It also needs to be able to distinguish them no matter whether they are cut into cubes, sliced, ground into powder, or stewed.
Recalling every moment of getting along with his grandfather in his previous life, Shen Tianshu rested his pillow on a pillow soaked with tears and tossed and turned for a long time before gradually falling asleep.
After Fan Yuru left Yongzhou Mansion, he hurriedly hurried all the way, and finally returned to Prince Rui Mansion on the morning of Laba, where he was directly left to have dinner by Li Zian.
During the Laba Festival, of course, breakfast is indispensable with a bowl of fragrant, glutinous and soft eight-treasure porridge, plus a few plates of exquisite side dishes, and the two of you sit across from each other and eat quietly.
"How's it going? How was your trip to Yongzhou Mansion this time?" Li Zian asked after he had eaten first.
"Ahem!" Fan Yuru was about to speak, but almost choked. She said rudely and hurriedly drank water. Then she said, "I met Mrs. Tong once at Luo's house. I thought she was a quite gentle person.
The child was also very patient, but it was a pity that she lost track of her in the end, and she was never seen again."
"I'm telling you, this woman is not simple!"
"However, I can't say that I gained nothing from my trip to Yongzhou Prefecture this time. I met a very interesting girl. In fact, she was not just interesting. She was very smart, very careful, and very capable. I met her before.
They are completely different from the ladies who lived there."
He told Li Zian one by one what happened in Yongzhou Mansion in the past few days. After that, he took out a small broken bead flower from his sleeve pocket, played with it on his fingertips, and laughed at himself: "The guard picked up this bead."
Flowers, I unexpectedly put them in my sleeve and brought them back."
Hearing this, Li Zi'an joked: "Hey, our Mr. Fan is tempted? I don't know how many girls in Wuchang Mansion will be sad now."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Fan Yuru's hand and was stunned. He grabbed the pearl flower and looked at it carefully.
He had seen this pearl flower in Lady Tong’s hair!
