Chapter 148 Stalking
“Last time we had that incident in Dongxing building, maternal grandfather and uncle have severely reprimanded me, I dare not go to Yu family again, you want me to do things I can not not do, yesterday just happen to sell things to me that person with me recommended this place, said that this woman’s family is open greaseproof 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 flushed red, and he said loudly, “This hairpin took me several days to find a craftsman to make it, and it’s already not easy to make it like this, but if you still want to be angry, then I’ll just stick my own silver in it and make one for you!”
He Wan Yu was even more angry: “I’m innocent with you, why do I need you to subsidize me?”
Wu Xiuping’s anger was shortened.
“Mr. Wu, Miss He, on such a hot day, drink some sour plum soup first to quench your thirst.”
At this time, the woman who had gone out earlier walked in with a tray, placing two bowls of sour plum soup in front of them.
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 went into the room to the figure in front of the window and lowered her body: “Back to the girl’s words, things have been done, Wu Xiuping’s boy stayed outside the mansion did not come in at all, two maids of the He family have been put down to the concubine just witnessed Wu Xiuping drink the sour plum soup before coming out, and the He girl also drank half a bowl.”
Yu Qingping in front of the window turned around, “Sister-in-law Lin’s work is still the most reassuring.” She said, pulling out two pieces of paper from her sleeve: “Here are one hundred taels of silver, and a passport to leave the city, take it and live your life.”
The woman took it with both hands, the silver ticket is just a matter of fact, when she saw the words on the ultimatum, she was so excited that she lifted up her skirt and knelt down: “Thank you, Miss! I will never forget your kindness!”
Yu Qingping asked Huang Ying to pull her up, and then asked, “If you leave like this, can the family really let go?”
“What else can I not let go of?” The woman clutched Guan Disk and silver tickets, 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 skin and flesh, this time it is considered to be my life, I escaped from the bottom of his stick, if I go back, it will be the death of a dead end! If I go back, I’ll be dead. Now that my daughter is married, I’ll never go back to that home again! –Thank you for your kindness!”
The woman said and came to bow again.
Yu Qingping said, “While it’s still early, go out of the city.”
The woman kowtowed again and went out with Huang Ying.
Hua Qianrong brought ten guards with her this time, guarding 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 brought a few chairs and stacked them on top of the wall, so that they could just reach the windshield of 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 skeptical of HeWanYu and WuXiuPing is not between what and, although to HeWanYu’s status of origin, not to choose a WuXiuPing to do this kind of things ……
When I was thinking of this, the opposite side of the closed corner door suddenly opened, from which out of a woman to.
This woman although a face of frankness, out of the door after the eyes do not slant towards the entrance of the alley, but he is hanging a bulging bag.
“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 realized. As expected, no matter how bad He Wan Yu was, she wouldn’t take her own reputation for granted. “So Wu Xiuping asked her to come here to deliver something?”
“It’s not clear yet. But even if it’s a delivery, there must be something odd.”
Who said it wasn’t? Obviously, they are cousins who can have open and honorable exchanges, but they have to make an appointment here to hand it over.
“Little Flower!” At this time, a guard ran in from outside, “Someone from the opposite courtyard went in the direction of the He family, from the back door, but this person doesn’t seem to be a member of the He family, nor 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.”
