Chapter 20 The planted person was almost discovered
Dongqing was startled and looked up quickly, but it was Xiaotao.
Xiao Tao's chubby round face looked a little scrutinizing at the moment. She stared at Dong Qing and asked:
"Where are you going? The young lady asked you to wait outside the door, how dare you leave your post without permission? Is there any personal maid like you?"
It turned out that Leng Qianqian didn’t discover anything.
Dongqing breathed a sigh of relief and a smile soon appeared on his face:
"Xiao Tao, what are you talking about? I just went to ask the kitchen to prepare more hot water. The young lady and the marquis will need it later. How can it be said that I am absent from duty?"
Just at this moment, the room was filled with the ambiguous breathing sounds of a man and a woman.
Xiao Tao's face turned red, her eyes became vague, she gritted her teeth and stepped aside.
I originally thought that if I could find a handle on Dong Qing, the girl would use me again, but who knew...
Dongqing felt suddenly relieved.
Fortunately.
She knew that, based on the development trend just now, something would definitely happen between Leng Qianqian and the Marquis, who acted like a male dog in heat whenever he touched Leng Qianqian.
Sure enough, there is nothing wrong with using this excuse.
"Then Xiaotao, I'll go first..." She pointed in the direction of the small kitchen.
Xiaotao let him go reluctantly.
Dongqing walked quickly towards the small kitchen, and there was no sign of panic from behind.
In fact, her back was already soaked with cold sweat, and now it felt really chilly when the night wind blew.
The next morning, Ye Qiongying received the news.
"Oh?" She sipped her porridge. "So, I will soon be able to get the divorce certificate I want? That's really... great."
Ye Qiongying clapped her hands and smiled, then as if she remembered something, she asked Wen Ping:
"By the way, has there been any trouble in the Marquis' Mansion recently?"
"Of course there is,"
Wen Ping replied,
"The Marquis has taken out three thousand taels of the silver he borrowed from you and put it in the account office. However, this time he specifically instructed the account office that this silver can only be used for daily expenses in the mansion, and no silver is allowed for other matters. If the silver withdrawn exceeds fifty taels, he, the Marquis, must sign his personal permission.
You also know that the people in the Marquis' Mansion have been pampered by you in the past few years. Every day, they either want to eat bird's nests or shark fins. Every season, special tailors and embroiderers come to make clothes for you, and even your jewelry is often replaced.
Now... I don't know what the old lady was thinking. She stopped everyone and didn't come to you to make trouble. Instead, they went to find the Marquis.
The Marquis is very short of money now, how can he agree? He scolded them back with just a few words.
I heard that the masters of the Second House have been in a bad mood these days!"
Wen Ping couldn't guess what the old lady was thinking, but Ye Qiongying knew it clearly.
Did she just want her son to give up and wake up sooner, and throw the account book and housekeeping power into the hands of her, the wronged daughter-in-law?
Fortunately.
She will be gone soon, so let her son and new daughter-in-law worry about this matter.
After all, the new daughter-in-law is someone who is eager to do big business!
"Don't worry about it. As long as they don't make any big noise and affect us, let them do the rest!"
Ye Qiongying had finished her breakfast and was about to go for exercise. She was standing in the yard with a sword in her hand when she saw Yin Xu coming towards her with an anxious look on his face.
Yo?
She thought that this person would hesitate for a few days, but she didn't expect him to come so soon?
The power of true love is truly great!
Ye Qiongying was very satisfied, and even decided that she must make more use of the true love of these two people in the future to live up to their efforts.
"Ye Qiongying you..." Yin Xu was about to speak when he saw Ye Qiongying, but he noticed that the other party was dressed completely different from usual.
Unlike usual when she dressed neatly for the sake of the mistress's dignity, today Ye Qiongying only wore a red training suit. Her long and thick black hair was tied high behind her head. She held a long sword in her hand, looking heroic and bright.
If Leng Qianqian is the delicate little white flower, then Ye Qiongying is the noble and gorgeous peony.
In order to appear virtuous and dignified, she always put on light makeup to cover up her bright colors.
Now that she is without those pretentious makeup, this bare face actually highlights her characteristics.
Her eyebrows and eyes are bright and elegant, and her lips are naturally red. Just one look at her in the sun can make people's hearts flutter and sigh inwardly that she is so stunning.
Even Yin Xu, who thought he had someone in his heart, couldn't help but feel dazed at this moment.
But he quickly came to his senses, frowned and walked forward, looked her up and down, and started talking trash:
"How can this be so? What kind of mistress would dress like you? A woman like you, brandishing swords and guns at home, simply..."
"bass!"
After a sound, the sword in Ye Qiongying's hand fell on Yin Xu's neck. He didn't even have time to react and dodge, which shows how fast the opponent was.
"I'm sorry, there are too many flowers in the yard, and they have attracted some annoying insects that are buzzing around," Ye Qiongying retracted the sword. With Yin Xu's eyesight, he could clearly see that half of the insect's body was dead, and the other half had naturally fallen off. "For something like this, of course it's better to just kill it. What do you think, Lord?"
Yin Xu came here today with something on his mind. His reprimand was interrupted by Ye Qiongying's action, so he forgot about it.
Now he didn't have the energy to hear that Ye Qiongying was actually blaming him indirectly, so he just said:
"I have something to talk to you about. Come inside first!"
After saying that, he walked in first.
He thought Ye Qiongying would follow him directly, so he didn't even turn his head.
Who knew, after entering the house, I found that he was the only one there!
No one knew where Ye Qiongying's shadow had gone.
Yin Xu gritted his teeth and was about to go out and find someone to vent his anger on, when he saw Ye Qiongying's maid Wen Ping coming over. She bowed to him and said:
"My master has just practiced swordplay and is sweating. She needs to go wash up first. Please wait for a moment, my Lord."
It turned out to be the case.
It seems that it is just to maintain a perfect image in front of him.
But... he was destined to let her down.
Yin Xu thought proudly.
Little did they know that Ye Qiongying, who hadn't even started practicing sword skills yet, was sitting quietly in another room in the yard, drinking herbal tea and reading a storybook. She looked so leisurely.
"Master, aren't you afraid that he will get impatient and leave?" Wen Ping asked.
"Not afraid,"
Ye Qiongying didn't even raise her head.
"His girlfriend Qianqian is still waiting for good news from him. How can he bear to leave without getting a reply? As for me, I just had breakfast not long ago. I don't want to face his disgusting face now, otherwise I'm afraid I will vomit on the spot. It doesn't matter about anything else, isn't this just to avoid wasting food?"
Yin Xu waited for almost an hour.
Not to mention washing, this can rub off a layer of skin, right? !
The key point is that in such a big main courtyard, there is not a single servant who has eyes. They all hid away and were lazy. They didn’t even know how to serve him tea and snacks.
The weather was hot and stuffy, and he was so thirsty that his mouth was dry and his head started to feel dizzy.
It just so happened that all the servants in this yard were brought by Ye Qiongying as her dowry. Except for Wen Ping, he couldn't even call out the names of the others, let alone ask them to do his bidding.
Just when his patience was about to run out, Ye Qiongying finally showed up.
As soon as he saw her, Yin Xu noticed the problem, and immediately stood up angrily, pointing at Ye Qiongying and yelling:
"Ye Qiongying you..."
