She wasn't annoyed, she just sneered and walked into the east room, throwing her hands away with an expression that said, "I want to see what you, a spy, want to do."
Even Liu Ruhai, seeing her being so straightforward, could not help but feel secretly curious and unable to figure out her background.
His first thought flashed through his mind: This Qingluo female ghost must not be a cripple.
When she returned to the palace of the Marquis and became a slave, she must have hidden her plans and set some kind of trap. Otherwise, how could she dare to watch like this and let him, a spy, enter the house?
Fortunately, Liu Ruhai's thoughts in the city are not comparable to those of ordinary people.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw her throwing down the curtain in the east room, and he smiled inwardly. She didn't drive him away, probably because she hadn't found any criminal background on him yet.
Jin Yihu was in charge of thousands of households in the Shunyifang area and did not take him seriously.
After all, whether Prince Yan can escape from the capital has nothing to do with him.
It's not his job.
How can a person with medical skills be dispatched by princes and dignitaries?
"Senior, today, Mo Xue went to check the pulse of Mr. Wang's in-law, Mr. Lei."
She was too lazy to care, but was shocked when she heard this.
She slanted her body and listened with pricked ears on the wooden pit in the east room. The oil lamp reflected her gray-gold figure, stretched diagonally in front of the window.
Liu Ruhai said vaguely outside: "Dad Lei is a junior clerk in charge of timber in the imperial mausoleum. He committed a crime, and thanks to Mr. Wang's rescue, he is now out of prison. But he has been lingering on the sickbed. I checked again and again, worried.
Did he catch the epidemic in prison and be infected? This is his medical record."
"Let me take a look -" Mr. Cao pretended to understand and pretended to read the medical records.
Aunt Wu was packing the boxes in the ear room, most likely picking up a few pieces of cotton to send to her parents' family to make winter clothes. Because Ting Niang received a fine Hu Lingzi cloak as a gift from her daughter, several sisters-in-law complained that she was unfair.
Cao Xiwan told her mother to just ignore her. She would give her things to whomever she liked.
However, Aunt Wu was used to being manipulated by her brothers and sisters-in-law, so she felt uneasy.
Cao Xiwan ignored this matter the most and sat alone on the wooden pit in the east room to mend his clothes.
She thought about it for a while, pondering over and over again the matters concerning Mrs. Wang's wife Lei Niangzi's father and Lei Sili, a junior official in the Ministry of Industry. It suddenly dawned on her, the imperial mausoleum... Is Liu Xiaozi staring at the cemetery again?
She didn't listen at all to what medical science they discussed. She only knew that with her father's level, it was impossible to discuss this with Liu Ruhai.
"Mom, I'm going to Sanxi's house to talk to Bai Zhi. I want to hear news about my wife."
She got up and went out first.
Aunt Wu held several pieces of cloth and looked at her daughter in surprise in the courtyard. So her daughter was still worried that her wife would not want her?
Sanxi's family also lives in a group house. They go west and turn diagonally to the fourteenth house in the alley behind them.
The Jade Rabbit is rising, and the faint clouds are chasing the moon.
When Liu Ruhai went home, he saw a ghost standing in front of his courtyard.
The cold wind was blowing, and the scattered leaves were flying in the desolate moonlight. Her eyes were faint.
He suddenly felt the wind blowing and the shadows of flowers moving in his heart, and the messy leaves that had to be cleaned every day did not feel annoying anymore. It was like the last time she knocked on the door of Chengfu Temple in the middle of the night and asked for a medicine bottle.
What tricks does she have to take advantage of him?
Liu Ruhai looked at Cao Xiwan with a smile.
"You buy property near the temple cemetery?" she asked.
"right."
"Are you good at... witch doctor?" She had a strange look on her face, and her eyes were suspicious. This man was staring at the cemetery. It would be appropriate to use the daughter of a tenant farmer in the temple as a maid. Otherwise, no one would dare to guard his village. This
How many days have the girls been disinfecting the village with lime?
"What kind of religious sect are you from?" She saw through him sharply, "Come to the capital to preach?"
He couldn't help but laugh.
No, King Yan is crazy. After seeing the prescription she bought with the 10,000 taels of silver she gave him in the temple, he felt that there was nothing wrong with the prescription he prescribed for King Yan. However, the madness has been treated on and off for almost two years.
No, he thinks this madness may be related to cadaver disease.
He looked at Cao Xiwan, maybe she was too.
But it’s not convenient to say this.
"Don't mess around." She followed him all the way to the yard and watched him unlock the door and enter the main room.
"...Thank you madam for reminding me." He turned around in the corridor and looked at her with a smile, "Would you like some tea?"
She frowned.
The old ginkgo tree beside the wall has rustling withered leaves, which look like snow and silver under the moonlight.
Before she could warn him, he said: "At Laodang Wang's house, another maid has been added to serve as a hidden stake, and the water gate of the palace has been strengthened."
"It's good that you know." Her eyes were cold and her face was pale, still like a ghost in the moonlight.
Liu Ruhai endured it and did not test it.
Is he really useless?
In the small courtyard, there is a large vat reflecting the moon and old trees whistling.
Outside the door, the patrolman was banging his clappers and changing the values in the streets.
Liu Ruhai stared at her, really not afraid that he would attack her and kill her?
Her expression was so cold that it made people think that she, the Qingluo female ghost, had never failed, so she really didn't take him seriously.
"These days, it seems that my wife is tired of Xiaosheng." He smiled bitterly.
I thought she was avoiding the danger of being tempted by him.
"I hate Qingshan, and you know it. So, please stop causing trouble, so as not to have me keep an eye on you. This is the capital."
Looking at her warning look, he finally realized that the reason why she was so cold in the past few days was because he was too well-behaved and only wanted to buy property, find friends, and buy girls, so she didn't bother to take care of him.
If he wasn't a rebel with evil intentions, he wouldn't be able to catch her eye at all.
"You take care of yourself."
After she finished speaking, she swept her eyes across the roof of the courtyard, sneered twice, and walked away. Liu Ruhai looked at her unprepared back, his mind racing, and the fingers accumulating in his sleeves moved slightly, but in the end he did not take action.
Qingluo female ghost, the best master of Jinyiwei.
Hobby: Catching rebels.
Dislikes: Pretty boys in blue shirts.
Cao Xiwan, who loved catching rebels, returned home. After a long sigh, she asked her mother to open the box and bring out some silk ribbons, which she wanted to give as gifts.
"If my wife doesn't like me, I can't just sit around and not work. I'd better ask the second manager."
When the parents saw that their daughter was actually anxious and went to see the second steward, wouldn't that mean she was going to show her face in front of the Marquis?
Shouldn't parents be responsible?
Aunt Wu hurriedly opened the box to prepare gifts. Mr. Cao taught his daughter not to be afraid, to have the support of her parents, but to follow the rules, to be respectful in front of the wife, to be practical in her work, and never to be lazy. It has always been natural for an aunt to give birth to a son.
Then he stood firm and said: "The old lady is here, you don't have to be afraid."
Mrs. Hou is a new daughter-in-law, and she would never dare to treat the family's children so harshly now.
She rolled her eyes and listened.
In the neighbor's yard, the shadows of the trees are deep.
Liu Ruhai held up the lamp and entered the back room.
Li Shishan emerged from the darkness with a cold sweat. Besides him, there was a second figure in the corner of the room. It was Bai Fu'er, the young eunuch of Mr. Wang's family. Both of them had pale faces.
"General Manager, just now..."
Just now, why don't the three of you surround me and kill this female owl?
Liu Ruhai put down the tea and glanced at him: "If it was just me, maybe I would take action."
"..." Li Shishan lowered his head in shame.
He was indeed on the roof just now.
After being stared at by the Qingluo female ghost, he immediately felt weak and timid, lost his momentum, and dragged down the manager.
No wonder that Qingluo came proudly and left with disdain.
The young eunuch Bai Fu'er was silent and said nothing. He was a secret agent that had been planted in Wang Laodang's house. He was on the roof just now, and when Mrs. Cao glanced at her, her whole body stiffened nervously.
But the little eunuch was thoughtful and quietly looked at the manager.
The general manager has superb medical skills and is unparalleled in the use of medicine and poison. Does he really have to have the help of two people to dare to do it?
