Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

After returning to his own room, Yixiu held his forehead and said helplessly, "There is no peace and quiet day after day."

Jianqiu was removing the jewelry from Yixiu's head and said with some doubt, "I always feel that what happened today is not like Concubine Nian's style."

Nian Shilan is usually quick and straightforward in his actions, but this time his actions were treacherous and covert, making them hard to guard against.

Yixiu closed her eyes and enjoyed it. "The idea was not hers, so naturally, the way she acted would not be her style."

Jianqiu frowned worriedly and began to think about who was Concubine Nian's new military advisor. There were no new people in Lanyun Villa, and Fei Gege didn't have such a brain, so who could it be?

Feeling Jianqiu's pause, Yixiu opened her eyes and saw Jianqiu's frown. Instead, she said lightly, "No need to guess blindly. This man has only stepped half a foot into the backyard and has not yet shown his wisdom to others."

Jianqiu was even more confused after hearing this. No wonder she was confused. If it weren't for the memory of her previous life, Yixiu wouldn't have noticed the unknown Cao Qinmo. But Cao Qinmo really couldn't be allowed to make plans for Nian Shilan, otherwise what happened today would probably be the norm in the future.

Yixiu made up her mind and told Jianqiu, "Jianqiu, go to the warehouse and pick out some fashionable fabrics and give them to Cao Gege. Let her prepare them!"

Jianqiu almost forgot who Cao Gege was. When Yixiu mentioned it, she remembered that there was a Cao Qinmo in the backyard who had not yet served the emperor. Then she thought of what Yixiu had just said and said in doubt, "The master was talking about this Cao Gege?"

Yixiu lowered her eyes mysteriously and said, "It's just a guess."

Yixiu's behavior directly frightened Jianqiu. She didn't dare to say anything more. She asked Huichun to serve her and went to the warehouse to select the fabric for Cao Qinmo.

But this sudden reward was both a surprise and a joy to Cao Qinmo. She asked Jianqiu uncertainly, "Did Fu Jin really say that?"

Jianqiu was always showing off Yixiu's good reputation when she was out and about. If she couldn't buy people's hearts, wouldn't the good things she gave away be in vain? She smiled and said kindly, "Fujin has always been thinking about Cao Gege! Cao Gege, go and prepare, don't be in a rush when the prince comes!"

Cao Qinmo was so happy that she didn't know what to do. She handed Jianqiu a big purse with her sleeves and sent her out of the courtyard.

Seeing Yinxiu coming back, Cao Qinmo put away his previous joy, touched his pounding heart, and closed his eyes in fear.

Yinxiu saw that Cao Qinmo was not in a good mood, and hurried forward to support him, "Master?"

Cao Qinmo waved her hands, leaned on her sleeves, opened her eyes and said, "I'm afraid Fu Jin knows that it was me who gave Fu Jin Nian the idea!"

Yinxiu was shocked. "We haven't visited Lanyun Villa many times. How did Fu Jin guess that it was the master?"

Cao Qinmo was also thinking about this question. She was so inconspicuous, but how come she was targeted by Fu Jin just once?

"It's just that, we can't get too close to Concubine Nian."

Yinxiu was even more frightened, "It's not easy to offend Concubine Nian!"

Cao Qinmo smiled bitterly, "We just came out of Lanyun Villa, and right after that, Jianqiu came over with great fanfare to deliver fabrics. Do you think it's a coincidence? If you think it's a coincidence, won't Concubine Nian think too much?"

Yinxiu was shocked to realize that her master had become the core of the fight between Fu Jin and Nian Ce Fu Jin. She said helplessly, "What should I do?"

Cao Qinmo pondered for a moment and analyzed calmly, "This may not be a bad thing. Although Concubine Nian is in a prominent position, she and Fei Gege did not regard me as an ally. They accepted my opinions if they were happy, and ignored them if they were unhappy."

For example, in Lily's case, Cao Qinmo suggested that Lily steal Lin Zhuoyin's costume and wear it. Otherwise, if Lily's costume was not Lin Zhuoyin's, even a fool could see that there was someone behind Lily. But Nian Shilan couldn't stand the delay anymore, so she ignored Cao Qinmo's suggestion, hastily found a similar costume, and let Lily appear in the bamboo garden.

Since you have done it, don't be afraid of people's suspicion. However, after Nian Shilan finished paying her respects, she was frightened by Yixiu's implicit words. When she returned to her courtyard, she called Cao Qinmo to discuss it, for fear that Yixiu would find evidence against her and report it to the prince.

Cao Qinmo could only analyze it with her, "The prince is very perceptive, how could he not see that something is wrong with Lily? But since the prince chose not to pursue the matter and directly beat Lily to death, it means that he will not continue to investigate. The prince does not want to cause any more trouble, so why should Concubine Jin worry about it?"

After hearing what Cao Qinmo said, Nian Shilan asked uncertainly, "Does the prince really just not want to investigate, rather than discovering that I was involved?"

Cao Qinmo sneered in his heart. Who else could be targeting Ling Gege in the backyard besides Concubine Nian? Even if the prince used his feet to think, he knew that it must be related to Concubine Nian. But so what? The prince chose to turn a blind eye and turn a deaf ear, clearly not wanting to pursue the matter. Who could force the prince to do anything?

On the surface, Cao Qinmo carefully comforted him, "This matter is not glorious in the first place. If we investigate further, we don't know what will be found. The situation outside is tense now, and the prince doesn't want to make a big deal out of it!"

Speaking of the outside world, Nian Shilan thought of her brother who had made many military achievements, and she was no longer panicked. "Yes, my brother wrote to me a few days ago, asking me to pay attention to the situation and accompany the prince well. I think it's a good idea."

Feeling confident, Nian Shilan asked Cao Qinmo to take a few hairpins back.

Cao Qinmo originally wanted Nian Shilan to pay attention to her attitude and not say bad things about Ling Gege or gloat over her misfortune in front of the prince. However, Nian Shilan was sure that the prince would not track her down, so she completely lost the desire to talk to Cao Qinmo and asked Songzhi to politely but firmly ask Cao Qinmo and his servant to leave.

Cao Qinmo was also speechless by Nian Shilan's attitude of "when there is trouble, it's Zhong Wuyan, when there is nothing, it's Xia Yingchun", so she didn't want to say anything more. Originally, Cao Qinmo could still comfort herself that the prince would not pursue it, and Lin Zhuoyin had no power to pursue it, so even if there were flaws, it would not matter. But Jianqiu's visit completely broke Cao Qinmo's self-deception.

It was at this time that Cao Qinmo realized that she thought her presence was low enough, but Yixiu's presence was comparable to hers. It was normal for Cao Qinmo, a little princess who had never served in the emperor's bedchamber and whose family had no power, to be ignored by everyone; but Yixiu was the wife in charge of the backyard, so how could she have such a low sense of presence?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Yixiu was unfathomable and that Nian Shilan could never rival her. Cao Qinmo's desire to break away from Nian Shilan became stronger and stronger. After all, she believed that not dealing with Nian Shilan was just something Yixiu didn't want to do, not that she couldn't do it.
