Chapter 784 Sending Letters (4)
After the greetings, the old man and the little boy looked at each other in silence.
But after a moment, Xiao Yining, thinking that she couldn't escape a beating anyway, challenged the old man's patience and asked, "Uncle, when you were holding the golden hairpin just now, were you thinking about what my future aunt would look like?"
Wang Cheng: (*  ̄︿ ̄), this kid is too nosy!
The old man suddenly stood up, tucked the kid under his armpit, walked into the secret passage without hesitation, and disappeared into the building.
Zhao Ya and Qiu Yi were left alone in Guiyan Tower, staring at each other.
Qiu Yi: "Madame Zhao, should I go and call the princess back? We haven't told her yet that Madame He went to the woods to meet someone secretly!"
Zhao Ya: "( ̄_ ̄|||), never mind, I can't disturb my uncle from teaching the princess, let's do it tomorrow!"
The night passed quietly, and the next morning, before dawn, someone knocked on the gate of Linglong Courtyard.
Zhao Ya, wearing an outer coat and frowning slightly, hurried forward to open the gate, and saw Liu Zhenying standing at the door with a maid holding a food box, with a smile on her face.
She quickly took the food box, glanced at the still dim sky, and whispered, "Why did Miss Liu come so early? My princess hasn't even woken up yet!"
Liu Zhenying shyly handed the two letters in her hands to Zhao Ya and explained, "Mammy, I still have to accompany Jiaojiao to Shouyaotang to see Mammy He. Although Mammy He and Jiaojiao have only been together for a few days, they have a deep relationship. Jiaojiao cried all night last night. She also wrote a letter to her mother. I'll trouble Uncle Wang to deliver it."
Zhao Ya nodded in understanding and sighed softly, "Although I was not familiar with Nanny He when I was in the palace, we worked together after all. When the princess goes to class later, I will go and take a look."
"Madame Zhao is so thoughtful!" Liu Zhenying also sighed. She poked her head towards the secret door and then instructed Zhao Ya, "Madame Zhao, this food box contains the tonic soup that I asked the kitchen to make for my uncle Wang. I want to thank him for helping me carry letters these days. You must remind him to drink it."
Shiquan Dabu Decoction?
Zhao Ya was stunned when she heard this, she lowered her eyes to look at the food box, and suddenly felt that there was something wrong with it. Just as she was about to speak, the little sister had already run away with the maid.
Wang Cheng woke up at this moment. He yawned and walked out of the room. He saw the food box and two letters at the secret door.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, understood what he understood, and walked over slowly.
Just as he touched the letter, Zhao Ya's voice sounded at the right moment: "Uncle, today Miss Chen asked you to deliver a letter to Madam Chen who is going to North City. Below is the tonic soup that Miss Liu prepared for you. Thank you for taking the trouble to deliver the letter for her!"
Shiquan Dabu Decoction?
Tonic soup?
Tonic soup?
Wang Cheng's hand was quickly withdrawn as if he had been electrocuted. The corners of his eyes could not help twitching and his face darkened. He felt that his reputation was in jeopardy.
He looked away in disgust and said to Zhao Ya in a bad tone, "Madam Zhao, pour out the soup and don't mention it in front of Sister Qing."
Zhao Ya hurriedly agreed, but she was muttering in her heart: My uncle must not have woken up this morning. Even if I don't mention it, Miss Liu will definitely talk about it. How could the princess not know!
Although she thought so, she did not remind him out loud.
Wang Cheng was so angry at Liu Zhenying's thank-you gift that he forgot about it.
As a result, when Xiao Yining arrived at Class B, he was shocked by Liu Zhenying's outrageous actions.
"Did my uncle drink the Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup?" Little Yining asked in disbelief.
"Yes, I specially asked Hongdou to go to the small kitchen to make it last night. It cost me half a tael of silver. Has Uncle Wang drunk it?" Liu Zhenying asked expectantly.
The little kid glanced at the other kids quietly and discovered that although they were all busy with their work, their ears were perked up to gossip.
Alarm bells immediately rang in her heart, and she immediately changed the subject, "Sister Liu, is this ten-ingredient tonic soup delicious? It's delicious, I want to drink it too!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhenying quickly waved her hand to dissuade him, "Sister Princess, you can't drink this soup. My mother said that this soup is specially made for men. My father often stayed up late to write memorials to impeach officials, so my mother made a bowl of Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup for my father every month, and also bought some deer blood and deer meat from hunters outside the city to nourish my father's body."
As soon as these words were spoken, a burst of “Oh” sounds of sudden enlightenment were heard in Class B.
Liu Zhenying: ...
Xiao Yining glanced at her speechlessly and sneaked away from under her nose.
The little boy muttered silently in his heart: Lord Liu, if there are rumors outside again, you can't blame her. This is your daughter's fault!
Then, she touched her still painful little hand and secretly praised herself: If her uncle knew that she had saved his reputation, he would definitely look at her differently!
Liu Zhenying seemed to realize her slip of the tongue. Her cheeks flushed and she pretended to bury her head in her books. She no longer asked Wang Cheng whether he had drunk her tonic soup.
However, what the two little ones did not expect was that the rumors about Liu Yang and Wang Cheng spread like wildly growing vines, penetrating the gate of the girls' school and spreading everywhere.
By the time the two little ones found out, the situation had reached a point where they could no longer handle the situation. There were even rumors that Liu Yang gnawed on a live deer every day, and seeing that Wang Cheng was so weak, he forced him to drink tonic soup, vowing to make him as strong as himself.
Of course, these are all later stories, let’s get back to the present.
The letter in Wang Cheng's hand was successfully sent and arrived at their respective destinations.
Pei Yi unfolded the letter in his hand, glanced at it, and then read aloud: "Mother, my daughter is useless. Lin Yining is still unwilling to get close to her, and the two maids who monitor her are watching her. My daughter originally persuaded Maid He to help, but misfortunes never come alone. Unexpectedly, she fell last night and forgot everything. Now she is unconscious..."
The boy's voice gradually died down, and a look of sarcasm appeared in his eyes. He raised his head and stared at the imprisoned woman in front of him.
At the same time, the woman showed a look of gritting her teeth and roared loudly: "Pei Yi, it's you!"
The young man reached out and took off his mask, revealing his harmless face. He smiled and replied, "It's me, Madam Chen!"
"Pei Yi, are you crazy? You disregard the hierarchy and grab your sister-in-law!" Mrs. Chen shouted at the top of her lungs.
Pei Yi folded the letter carefully and threw it in front of her before continuing, "Respect and inferiority? If Madam Chen still understood the meaning of respect and inferiority, how could she instigate her daughter to plot against the princess personally appointed by the emperor!"
