Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse
“Dowry?” Yu Qianyun raised her head in surprise when she heard s.h.i.+ Huiru explain her intentions .
Did s.h.i.+ Huiru mean to let her prepare the dowry for Yu Linglong? Now the Yu Mansion was messed up, and she was troubled by the affairs of the mansion all day long, and now she was preparing a dowry for Yu Linglong?
Seeing Yu Qianyun’s astonishment, s.h.i.+ Huiru was very surprised: “Right, Linglong will soon be married into the Xu Palace, and of course she will prepare a dowry . ”
Yu Qianyun lowered her head and was silent .
After Concubine Mei was driven away, she hurriedly took over the affairs of the housekeeper . She once wanted this power so much, but when she really got it, she found that it was completely different from what she had imagined .
These days, she hadn’t completely sorted out the accounts of the Yu mansion, but she also roughly knew that not only did the Yu mansion seem to be withered on the surface, it was actually empty inside . In the beginning, Concubine Dong eloped with someone else and brought a bunch of her belongings . When Concubine Mei managed the house, she transferred a lot of valuable properties and money . In addition to the several big funerals that she had done in the past six months, the originally not rich Yu mansion now had only an empty leather bag left, and the only thing worth a little money was probably the house .
Now Yu Linglong was not only going to marry, but also marry into the Xu Palace . You didn’t need to think about it . The dowry must be more expensive . Otherwise, it was a small matter to lose the face of the Yu house, and it was a big crime to offend the royal family .
Besides, if the dowry was too shabby, could Yu Linglong let her go?
But now in the situation of the Yu house, even if the family was bankrupt, it would probably not be able to afford a decent dowry .
Seeing that Yu Qianyun was silent, s.h.i.+ Huiru thought she was too young to understand the rules, and she was afraid that this matter would be messed up, so she smiled and comforted: “Sister Yun’er, don’t worry . This matter looks difficult, but in fact, it’s quite simple . The things given by the Empress Dowager and Empress have not been moved . Just make a list and send them there . As for the other items, they are nothing but fields, shops, furniture, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and gold and silver jewelry . There are also married servants, cooks, women, maids, and other servants that Linglong is used to . The others are free . See what Linglong likes and take them to the palace…”
Every time s.h.i.+ Huiru said something, Yu Qianyun’s eyelids couldn’t help but jump heavily, and the flesh hurt from time to time . That day, she saw the rewards sent by the minister of ceremonies with her own eyes, and all of them were priceless . She had lived in the country for so many years and had never seen such a rare treasure, and now, she had not even touched it, so will she send it out intact?
In addition to the things that the Yu house had to send, she was afraid that it would not be enough for Yu Linglong’s dowry if they searched all the current family property .
Even if she reluctantly put together enough of these things to let Yu Linglong marry in a splendid manner, how would her life go after that? Why didn’t no one think about it for her, why won’t she marry someone in the future?
s.h.i.+ Huiru talked enthusiastically, but she didn’t know how many thoughts Yu Qianyun had already turned in her mind .
Gritting her teeth secretly, Yu Qianyun tried her best to show a gentle smile and said softly: “Thank you Sister s.h.i.+ for the suggestion . It is really a blessing for the Fourth Sister to have you help her like this . ”
Without knowing what Yu Qianyun was saying, s.h.i.+ Huiru smiled sincerely and said, “Sister Yun is overwhelmed . I am just doing a little favor to Linglong . ”
Yu Qianyun lowered her eyes with a smile, covering the coldness under her eyes, and said in a low voice: “Then I will prepare according to Sister s.h.i.+’s wishes . If there is something I don’t understand, I will ask Sister s.h.i.+ for advice . ”
s.h.i.+ Huiru smiled and said, “Sister Yun is too polite . If you don’t understand, just send someone to find me . ”
After a few words of greeting, Yu Qianyun sent s.h.i.+ Huiru out .
Watching s.h.i.+ Huiru leave in a carriage, the smile on Yu Qianyun’s face gradually disappeared .
Yu Linglong, do you want to smoothly become a princess? I just won’t let you have what you want!
…
Perhaps due to Lord Xu’s constant urging, the emperor’s advisor soon set a wedding date on the 28th of January .
Even though she was about to leave the Yu mansion, Yu Linglong had not been indifferent to what happened in the Yu mansion, especially Yu Qianyun’s movements, and she had never let her guard down .
She had never believed in this Fifth Lady, and instinct told her that Yu Qianyun was definitely not as simple as she seemed on the surface .
Therefore, Yu Linglong was not surprised when someone quietly reported to her about the arrangements Yu Qianyun had made in the last few days .
After listening to the maid’s report, Yu Linglong sneered .
Yu Qianyun, are you really going to do it this time?
She will be married in half a month, but unfortunately, some people can’t wait for so many days .
Xuan Cao sealed ten taels of silver purse, sent the maid who had reported the letter out the door, turned around, and asked Yu Linglong anxiously, “Miss, what can I do now?”
Although Yu Qianyun’s plan had not yet been implemented, Xuan Cao already felt it was terrifying . She couldn’t imagine what it would be like if her lady hadn’t put so many spies in the Yu house beforehand .
If they really fell into the trap of others, then it would be all over!
Yu Linglong sneered while curling her lips, and said in a deep voice, “Since she had the idea, then let’s—”
Drinking all the tea in her hand, Yu Linglong’s pretty face flushed with a cold gloom: “…Give her a taste of her own medicine!”
If she wanted to trap her, Yu Qianyun was too simple!
However, judging from her age, it was a good idea, and it didn’t cost her so many years of suffering in the country .
It’s a pity that this insidious method was nothing but Yu Linglong’s entertainment, so how could she escape her magical eye?
She wanted to leave the Yu mansion to Yu Qianyun, but it was a pity that some people were used to thinking badly about others, and would rather make mistakes than let them go .
If you dare to provoke her, don’t blame her for not being merciful!
…
The cold moonlight sprinkled on the courtyard of Pinlan Garden . Under the porch, the snow was blown to the ground by the breeze, and the sprinkled ground exuded dots of silver light .
The whole yard seemed to fall into a deep sleep, and there was no sound .
In the darkness, a black shadow turned over the wall and landed on the ground silently . He looked around quickly and saw that no one noticed, he lifted his feet and slipped to the main house .
After lying under the window and listening for a moment, the black shadow pierced a small hole in the window paper, then took out a strip from his chest to light it, and then stuffed it through the small hole .
After waiting for a long time, it was confirmed that the people inside were unconscious from the incense, and then the black shadow walked to the front door and opened the door latch with a knife as lightly as possible .
With a soft sound, the door latch opened, and the shadow immediately covered his mouth and nose with the handkerchief he had prepared before slowly pus.h.i.+ng the door open .
The room was pitch black, and everyone in it seemed to be asleep, without even realizing that the danger had come .
On the couch next to the window, there was a black shadow lying down, probably a maid of the night watch . The shadow was careful not to touch anything and fumbled towards the inner room .
In the moonlight, he saw an exquisitely decorated bed frame, with the curtain hanging low, strictly concealing the figure inside .
There was a sound of gulping in the darkness, and the dark shadow, who had been light-handed, obviously couldn’t wait, and immediately reached out and lifted the curtain .
The curtain was raised, and before he could see the people inside, he was caught off guard with a heavy kick on his face!
The cracked nose sounded particularly clear in the silent late night, and the black shadow suddenly fell to the ground with pain, clutching his b.l.o.o.d.y nose and he snorted .
The candle was lit immediately . Xuan Cao and Ling’er each wrapped a tea-soaked veil on their faces . They were neatly dressed and appeared on both sides of the bed .
“What a foolish thing, he even dared to provoke our lady!” Ling’er could not help but kick the dark shadow several times, “Tell me, who sent you?”
The man was still moaning on the ground . Xuan Cao squatted down, pulled the handkerchief away from the man’s face, and looked at the b.l.o.o.d.y face carefully before saying, “Miss, it seems that he is the son of Ma Si . “
Yu Linglong walked out of the bed, and the moonlight projected from the window ridge poured down on her, making her look like a fairy, yet she was as hostile as a devil .
The son of Ma Si sounded like a servant in the mansion, and Yu Qianyun was really stupid enough to find such a stupid thing .
Using incense, a daring silly boy touched the lady’s bed in the middle of the night…
What kind of show is Yu Qianyun going to perform next?
Yu Linglong smiled coldly, with chills in her pretty eyebrows, and said in a deep voice, “All according to the plan . ”
“Yes . ” Xuan Cao and Ling’er immediately agreed in unison and dragged the b.l.o.o.d.y young man out of the room .
Looking at the dark night outside the window, Yu Linglong showed a faint sneer on her face, quickly untied her dress, went to bed, and lay down .
Soon, Xuan Cao and Ling’er returned . Ling’er walked to the bed, lowered the curtain, and whispered, “Miss, everything is done . ”
Xuan Cao swiftly closed the doors and windows, swept away the marks on the ground, and even repaired the hole in the window paper .
Everything in the room was restored to its original state as if nothing had happened .
Xuan Cao blew out the candle and retreated with Ling’er .
In the darkness, Yu Linglong slowly closed her eyes .
If she expected it correctly, there would be a big excitement soon .
Sure enough, before she fell asleep, there was a knock on the door outside Pinlan Garden .
Ling’er turned over from the couch outside, seemingly impatient . Yu Linglong reminded her in a low voice: “Don’t worry, wait . ”
Ling’er realized that she lost control, smiled awkwardly, and sat quietly in the outside room with Xuan Cao, seeming not to hear the noise outside at all .
Outside the yard, a voice called: “Fourth Lady, is the Fourth Lady here? Open the door!”
Yu Linglong sneered . At this time, where would she be but in Pinlan Garden? The person who said this was quite suggestive, and it was impossible for others to think about it .
The knock on the door was so loud that soon candles lit up in the wing of Pinlan Court, and the maidservant walked out and shouted: “The Lady has fallen asleep long ago, who is outside?”
A gentle voice rang, with a bit of anxious concern: “Open the door quickly, I have something important to tell the Fourth Lady . ”
The maid who answered the door was taken aback, and subconsciously said: “Fifth Lady!?”
Yu Qianyun outside agreed: “Yes, it’s me, open the door . ”
Yu Linglong had always been very strict with her servants . After hearing Yu Qianyun’s words, the maid hesitated to open the door, and said, “Fifth Lady, please wait a moment . I will go to see if the lady is up . ”
When the maid said this, Yu Qianyun seemed to be anxious: “You open the door first, and I will explain to the Fourth Sister . ”
Yu Linglong quietly listened to the movement outside with a bit of sarcasm on her face . This Yu Qianyun really couldn’t wait and kept urging the maid to open the door . Time was delayed . Would she figure out a way to deal with it?
The maid still didn’t dare to open the door . Yu Qianyun waited for a moment, and couldn’t help but become anxious, and her voice became unusually harsh: “Why don’t you open the door soon? If you make a mistake, be careful or your lady will punish you!”
After hearing this, the maid had to step forward and unlatched the latch: “Fifth Lady—”
As soon as she looked up, the frightened maid outside the door opened her mouth suddenly, unable to speak a word .
Outside Pinlan Garden, the family members held with dozens of torches, reflecting in the night as bright as day . Yu Qianyun was neatly dressed, with dozens of maids standing outside the door, and dozens of children standing behind . Beside Yu Qianyun, there were several men dressed as government officials .
The maid was completely stunned, and tremblingly asked: “Fifth Lady, this is—”
Seeing the gate open, Yu Qianyun didn’t have time to pay attention to this maid anymore, and hurriedly said to the servants around her: “Officer, this is the courtyard of my fourth sister . ”
The bailiff nodded and waved to the people behind him: “Search quickly!”
The women immediately pushed the maid who opened the door aside and rushed in with everyone .
Yu Qianyun lowered her eyes and looked scared: “That’s so troublesome, officer . ”
No one could see an ecstatic look flash across her eyes .
Yu Linglong, we’ll see where you hide this time!?
The servants entered the side rooms on both sides, searched and walked out, and went straight to the main room .
There was such a big noise outside, but the main room was still dark, and the people inside seemed to be still asleep .
Yu Qianyun couldn’t help but show a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but he put on a very anxious look on his face, and cried out: “Fourth Sister, Fourth Sister, please open the door!”
The weight of this incense is really enough . It had been so long, and Yu Linglong hadn’t even woken up yet .
Thinking of what was about to happen, Yu Qianyun couldn’t help being very nervous . She looked back at several government officials, with big deer-like eyes showing a frightened and frightened expression, and said with a tremble, “Officer, what…what should we do?”
The bailiff frowned and said sharply: “Smash the door!”
At this moment, the door slowly opened
