Chapter 705 The princess wants to see her
“Do you want the proprietress of the store to go there in person?” Qin Yao's voice increased by one degree.
Liu Fei swallowed and nodded heavily.
Qin Yao smiled speechlessly, and patted the table with a bang, "Do this with me!"
The fragile little table shook, then cracked.
But he did not fall down. He was supported weakly, as if he could turn into powder at any time with just a breath of air.
Liu Fei took a step back. The power on his third sister-in-law was really scary. If he hadn't been unable to kneel down, he would have really wanted to kneel down and speak.
Qin Yao took a deep breath to calm down her excitement, and picked up another note wrapped in red cloth. Inside was a full 4,500 taels of 'paper' that had been sent to the princess's house.
He raised his eyes to look at Liu Fei, who was trembling a little. Knowing that he had frightened the child, he calmed down and gave him what he thought was a gentle smile, "Say it again, don't miss any details."
The candlelight in the room was blown back and forth by the wind. By chance, a shadow flashed across Qin Yao's smile, making her teeth look white. Liu Fei was shocked when he saw it.
He was not sure whether the third sister-in-law was angry, so he tried hard to recall the process of going to the princess mansion in the evening, making sure not to miss any details.
"After the accounts were settled with Fulong Trading Company yesterday, I calculated and wrapped up the money I wanted to give to Sister-in-law San for you and the money I wanted to give to the Princess Mansion separately. When I sent it to the Princess Mansion, I kept it wrapped in red brocade and put it in a basket. Inside, put another layer of yellow straw paper.”
"Knowing that I was going to the Princess's Mansion today, I came out of the store at noon. I first informed the back door manager of the Princess's Mansion and agreed on a time. Then I went to the Princess's Mansion with the prepared papyrus."
This is his first experience, this time he went through the back door.
However, when the appointed steward showed up, he was not allowed in, and he was not allowed to enter as a reward. He was not allowed to enter at all.
Liu Fei saw at that time that this was not right. He had just made an appointment at noon. Why did he suddenly change his mind?
He guessed that there must be something fishy here.
After a lot of probing, the steward told him that their consort had returned from another courtyard, and His Highness avoided seeing the foreigner to avoid suspicion.
At this point, the hint is already very obvious.
But Liu Fei failed to understand it at the time. After all, Her Highness the Princess still wanted to avoid suspicion for her consort? Simply unheard of.
Finally, after spending a long time with the steward, the steward said: "Your Highness doesn't see my husband, why don't you just ask your landlady to come?"
Liu Fei suddenly realized that he had been waiting for this!
These big shots, can't they just say what they have to say?
You have to let people guess, and if you don't say the key words for a long time, do you think everyone is a roundworm in their belly, and they can guess it accurately?
If you don't understand this, wouldn't it be a big mistake?
Or is it that the superiors like to act this way to appear sophisticated?
There is no harm without comparison. Liu Fei suddenly realized that his third sister-in-law was really kind. She said what she said directly and never let her subordinates guess.
But Her Highness the Princess is not something that a commoner like him can comment on, so Liu Fei just complained a few words in his heart.
Qin Yao became even more silent after listening to Liu Fei's description in silence.
She suddenly thought of what Mu Ling said to her before leaving on the day she sent Si Niang to register at the Women's Garden, "If I don't see you this time, I'll see you next time."
It seems that since she entered the capital, the princess has been waiting for her to come to the house on her own.
No need to think about it, it must have been the woman Mu Ling who came up with the idea. She is still determined to harm her!
It's okay to secretly do something for the public. Qin Yao has nothing to say. After all, he is still relying on other people's light.
But if she is allowed to enter the princess's mansion and stand beside the princess to do things for her openly, the risk level will rise sharply.
Liu Fei didn't see Qin Yao's reaction for a long time, so he couldn't help but ask: "Third sister-in-law, are you going?"
He didn't know what the princess wanted to do, but he knew that ordinary people would be overjoyed if they were invited by the princess like this.
That is the powerful eldest princess. If she takes a fancy to her, anything that leaks out from the cracks of her fingers will be extremely rich to people like them!
But his third sister-in-law's face not only lost the joy, but also became more and more gloomy. Qin Yao pondered for a moment, exhaled a breath, collected all the money and notes, and said to Liu Fei:
“I'll take care of this, so you don't have to worry about it.”
"By the way, I've been in Beijing for so long. Do you have any plans? What I said back then still stands. If you find something you want to do, just say so. My sister-in-law will fully support you."
Qin Yao changed the topic, not wanting to think about the troublesome things in the princess mansion for the time being.
When it comes to this, Liu Fei is no longer sleepy.
He sat down again and said with some embarrassment: "I should want to open a shop and do women's business. I have many ideas, but I haven't decided which one is better. I'm observing."
As he spoke, he subconsciously put his arm on the edge of the small table.
For a moment, Liu Fei thought of something, but he was thinking about opening his own shop, and the thought flashed away.
Then-
With a sound of "Bang!", the table under his arm suddenly tilted, and his whole body sank uncontrollably.
Soon after, Liu Fei, along with his chair and the small table that shattered and fell, fell to the ground in a panic!
There was quite a commotion, and everyone in the backyard ran over.
Liu Jiren didn't come the fastest, but he was the loudest.
“Madam, what's wrong with you!”
Hurrying in, his nervous eyes instantly relaxed when he saw Liu Fei lying on the ground.
"It's not a lady, then it's okay." Liu Jichong waved his hands to the four Dalang brothers and sisters who were following him, "Retreat!"
Liu Fei's eyes were filled with disbelief. After all, he was born to the same father, but he didn't even come to help him?
Soon, only Qin Yao and Liu Fei were left in the flower hall.
Qin Yao reluctantly pulled the stunned Liu Fei up from the ground and asked him to go back to his room to rest.
I picked up the broken boards and moved them to the kitchen. I reused the waste and made a fire.
Coming out of the kitchen, he met Liu Ji's curious head.
Qin Yao raised her hand and punched the forehead with a bang, and asked angrily: "Didn't you withdraw?"
“Isn't this because I care about you, madam?” Liu Ji rubbed his forehead and caught up with her, asking with wide eyes:
“Madam, why did you break the table? Who made you unhappy?”
Without waiting for Qin Yao to reply, she said with a firm tone: "Did that boy Liu Fei make you unhappy? I'll go and bring that boy over right now!"
With that said, he picked up the pole hanging the lantern by the door and headed to the guest house.
“Stop!”
Qin Yao: “Get back here!”
“Okay~” Liu Jima put down the pole and ran back to her.
Looking at his sincere eyes, Qin Yao's inner irritability inexplicably faded away a lot.
Let him get himself a basin of water to soak his feet. While soaking his feet, he imagined what would happen if he refused the eldest princess's invitation.
Then he lay down comfortably under Liu Ji's superb massage techniques.
Before falling asleep, he did not forget to tell Liu Ji, "I will go to the eldest princess's mansion tomorrow. If I don't come back before the curfew, you can just pack up and run away."
As soon as the quilt was covered, I fell asleep completely.
Liu Ji raised his head in horror: What! !
