Chapter 149: Old Face Reddening
“Last time we had that incident in the Dongxing building, grandfather and uncle have severely reprimanded me, I dare not go to the Yu family again, you want me to do things I can not not do, yesterday happened to sell things to me that person with me to recommend this place, said that this woman’s family is to open the oil and paper store, his husband and my friend is very familiar with me yesterday I came to turn around, and found that it is very close to both of our families. I thought it was suitable, so I asked you over.”
He Wan Yu did not say anything else. She asked him, “Where are the things I want? Did you bring it to me?”
“Yes.” Wu Xiuping took out a golden phoenix hairpin, “Do you see this is what you want?”
The phoenix hairpin was made of red gold, the head of the phoenix was encrusted with rubies, the body was made of very fine gold silk, and each of the three long phoenix tails had a gem embedded in the tip of the tail. The jewels shone brightly under the sky light, and even this hall reflected the splendor of gold and blue.
He Wan Yu held it and looked at it again and again, and her eyes couldn’t help but light up.
But as she watched, the light dimmed. She raised her head and said, “It’s not the same as the one I drew for you, the phoenix wings I drew for you have to spread up a bit, this one is too tight, and it’s not as heavy as the one I wanted.”
“You only gave me a hundred taels of silver, if it had been exactly as you drew it, it would have cost more than that.”
“But this isn’t the one I wanted! How come you can’t even do something small when I ask you to?”
He Wan Yu put the phoenix hairpin back into the box and got angry.
Wu Xiuping’s face swelled red as he exclaimed, “This hairpin but I spent days of effort to find a craftsman to beat it out, it’s already not easy to beat it like this, if you still want to be angry, then I’ll go as far as to put up my own silver to beat one out for you!”
He Wan Yu became even more angry: “I’m innocent with you, why do I need you to subsidize me?”
Wu Xiuping’s qi instantly shortened.
“Mr. Wu, Miss He, on such a hot day, first drink some sour plum soup to quench your thirst.”
At this time, the woman who had gone out earlier walked in with a tray, placing the two bowls of sour plum soup above in front of them respectively.
He Wan Yu had a face in front of her, so she couldn’t argue any longer, and after thanking her, she drank the sour plum soup.
The woman saw Wu Xiuping still sitting still, and persuaded Wu Xiuping: “Mr. Wu is still angry? Look at the girl drinking it.”
Wu Xiuping looked at He Wan Yu and saw that she had already drunk half of the bowl, so he lifted the bowl up.
The woman stood at the side and watched Wu Xiuping finish the whole bowl of sour plum soup before she went out.
After leaving the door she didn’t go back to the kitchen, but took the empty bowl and went directly to the small ear room at the corner door of the front yard.
After looking around, she entered the room and lowered herself to the figure in front of the window, “Back to the girl, things have been done, Wu Xiuping’s boy stayed outside the mansion and didn’t come in at all, the two maids of the He family have been put down, the concubine just saw Wu Xiuping drink the sour plum soup with her own eyes before coming out, and the He girl also drank half a bowl.”
Yu Qingping in front of the window turned around, “Sister Lin’s errand is still the most reassuring.” Saying this, she pulled out two pieces of paper from her sleeve, “Here are a hundred taels of silver tickets, and a pass ultimatum to leave the city, take it and live your life.”
The woman took it with both hands, the silver ticket was just a matter of concern, when she saw the writing on the pass ultimatum, she was so excited that she lifted her skirt and knelt down, “Many thanks, Miss! Miss’s regenerating grace, my concubine will never forget it!”
Yu Qingping asked Huang Ying to pull her up, then asked, “If you leave like this, can the family really let go?”
“What else can I not let go of?” The woman clutched the Guan dish and the silver ticket, her eyes revealed a heavy hatred, “I married him for 13 years, and was beaten by him for 13 years, the scars on my body have been healed and beaten again, beaten and healed again, and now I can’t find a single inch of intact flesh and skin, this time I am considered to be very lucky that I escaped from underneath his clubs and rods, and if I go back, I will surely be a dead end! If I go back, I’ll be dead. So now that my daughter is married, I’ll never go back to that home! –Thank you for your great kindness!”
The woman said and came to bow again.
Yu Qingping said, “Go out of the city while it is still early.”
The woman kowtowed again and went out with Huang Ying.
Hua Qianrong brought ten guards this time to watch both the front and back doors of the mansion. Then they found a small uninhabited courtyard on the opposite side of the mansion and brought Zhao Su to hide inside. Then they moved a few chairs and stacked them behind the wall, so that they were actually just enough to reach the storm windows on the wall.
Looking out through the window, one could see clearly the situation outside the front half of the courtyard where He Wan Yu was.
Zhao Su stared at the window to see half a day, there is no situation to come, more and more suspicious of He Wan Yu and Wu Xiu Ping is not between what and, although He Wan Yu’s status of origin, not to choose a Wu Xiu Ping to do this kind of things ……
While thinking this way, the opposite side of the closed corner door suddenly opened, from which out of a woman to.
Although this woman had a straight face and walked towards the entrance of the alleyway without a slant in her eyes after going out, he had a bulging bag hanging on him.
“This is the person who received He Wan Yu and Wu Xiuping earlier, she claims to be the owner of this place.” Hua Qianrong said, smoothly sending someone up to follow this woman.
Zhao Su carefully looked at the faraway woman’s dress and demeanor: “She has such a spacious mansion, why doesn’t she even have a maid by her side?”
“It’s not clear. I only knew about this place because I followed He Wan Yu.”
Zhao Su thought for a moment and then asked, “How did you find out that she wasn’t right?”
“A few days ago, when I was following Yu Qingping, I arrived at a teahouse and happened to meet He Wan Yu at the silk store next door, where she was picking on the embroiderer and saying something about the gold hairpin being snatched away. Also sent hard if she let her find that person, must let her in the capital can not mix!
“Finished sending someone to the Wu family to urge Wu Xiuping to bring the things quickly. When I saw her talking about Wu Xiuping’s cover-up, I thought that she did not give the girl a hard time last time. So I wanted to find out what she was up to and give her a hard time. Then I stared here.”
Zhao Su suddenly realized. Sure enough, no matter how bad He Wan Yu was, she wouldn’t take her own reputation for granted. “So Wu Xiuping this is an appointment for her to come over and deliver something?”
“It’s not clear yet. But even if it’s to deliver something, there’s definitely something odd about it.”
Who said it wasn’t? Obviously, they were cousins who could correspond with each other in a proper manner, but they had to make an appointment to hand it over here.
“Little Flower!” At this time, a guard ran in from outside, “Someone from the opposite courtyard went in the direction of the He family, leaving through the back door, but this person doesn’t seem to be a member of the He family or the Wu family!”
At this time the guards in the marquis house hurriedly ran one over to report.
Hua Qianrong froze, “Are you sure it’s not the He family’s nor the Wu family’s?”
“Sure, neither! He Wan Yu only brought five people out, a coachman and two maids, and two guards, the coachman and the guards stayed at the entrance of the alley and didn’t move. The two maids went in with her. Wu Xiuping rode in on horseback, so he brought a boy with him, and the boy guarded the horse right outside the door.”
