After traveling through time, she just wanted to eat, drink and have fun
Chapter 44: Softhearted
"My dear, this is the finest rouge that our lady specially prepared for you."
"My dear, this is the water-spun yarn that our lady prepared for you. Only one piece of this yarn is produced every year. Many people don't know that its craftsmanship is very special. Wearing it is like wearing running water, which is cool and soft. Moreover, its rare material is so tight that no additional lining is needed."
"My dear, this is a bracelet I just took out from the storeroom. It's not a valuable item, but it suits you very well. If you don't mind, please accept it."
After a night's rest, when Zhu Yu got up early the next morning, there were people coming to the yard all the time. The maids and servants brought some not-too-expensive things that Zhu Yu could use, such as rouge, powder, toys and ornaments. Madam Liu brought some expensive things, such as this bracelet. Let's see her art of speaking: If you don't mind.
Zhu Yu: I don’t mind it, I like it very much.
Zhu Yu: System, is she trying to harm me?
System: No, I didn’t detect any malicious intentions from her. Host, don’t think too much. She might just want to have a good relationship with you, just like all those who curry favor with the powerful.
Zhu Yu: Oh, oh, oh, oh, I am powerful now.
After seeing Madam Liu off, Zhu Yu started to eat breakfast in the small courtyard where she lived. She was not a person who was so particular, so deep-fried small river shrimps were served on the table. Of course, the shrimps were bought from outside after the maid asked the servants in the mansion to find out where they could be bought. The small river shrimps were washed and fried twice, and they were crispy. Zhu Yu could eat a small plate of them even without dipping sauce, not to mention that she put a small portion of barbecue sauce in the dipping sauce plate next to it. The salty and crispy small river shrimps also had a slightly sweet and spicy taste. Who understands?
Zhu Yu was a person who would not normally eat alone when she had something delicious, so she left a small plate to be sent to Prince Jing later.
After the meal, fearing that people from the Liu residence would come to deliver gifts again, Zhu Yu left Jiaozi and a maid beside her to guard the yard, and then took Ai Yun to find Prince Jing. Although she was overwhelmed with gifts and felt very happy, she did not forget the purpose of her visit.
She had long thought about asking the system for help, but the system said that this incident was just mentioned briefly in the original world, and the real culprit was not found in the end, and it was not Prince Jing who came to investigate. The help it could provide was limited, and the host and Prince Jing needed to work hard on their own. The only clue it could provide was that these girls should still be alive.
Zhu Yu said that it was really easy to be a part of the system in this world, much easier than being a social animal. She had worked without sleep to write food broadcast copywriting. Her boss didn't care about the reason or the process, but only the result. If it was a hit, he would give her a bonus, but if it was a flop, he would arrange less traffic or even fire her. But she also understood that after all, it was a business, so of course profit came first. Otherwise, why would she do charity? How can she do charity without money? Of course, she could do it, just draw a big pie.
The air in the south of the Yangtze River is really humid. Zhu Yu even feels as if she has just sprayed some moisturizer on her body. She likes this kind of climate very much. She guesses that the girls here don’t even need to put on makeup if they are too lazy to move?
Her skin improved and her mood improved. Seeing Prince Jing, she was much calmer. "Thank you for your hard work. These are the fried river shrimps that my kitchen just made this morning. They are fresh and delicious. I sent some to you. What's going on now?"
Prince Jing glanced at the little river shrimp, nodded his head to express his gratitude, then frowned again, and his face returned to that expressionless look that made people not want to approach him.
Zhu Yu: What a bummer. Not even a smile on your face.
This is how Liu Yinyin has been a professional bootlicker for more than ten years.
Also respect her as a man.
If not for...
Well, no, otherwise, their personalities are not suitable for being friends.
Prince Jing pointed to several circles on a map and said, "This is where they live. They are scattered and not clustered. Liu Wanli said he had sent people to investigate. On the surface, these women don't know each other, and their family backgrounds are different. Some are rich, some are poor, and some are average. Their skills are also different. Some are from escort families who know some martial arts, some are good at knitting and embroidery, and some have been farming and raising livestock for generations for rich families."
A cool breeze blew in through the window, carrying the fragrance of small river shrimps to Prince Jing, who sniffed imperceptibly.
Zhu Yu: "No more?"
Prince Jing continued, "They all have different temperaments and personalities, and they don't have any enemies."
Zhu Yu looked at the distribution of several households on the map, then carefully read the profiles of those women one by one, and said to himself: "There are some common points. They should all be virgins and have not yet married."
Prince Jing: "Well, I asked my subordinates to check whether they were married or had a close relationship with a man before they disappeared, but there is no reply yet."
Zhu Yu: "Check their attitude towards marriage."
Prince Jing: "Yes."
Zhu Yu: "Have you checked the places they often go in and out?"
Prince Jing: "Well, nothing special."
Zhu Yu: Let me think about it. Based on my limited experience in reading suspense novels, well, I don’t have much experience.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" Zhu Yu knew that he was not very good at this, so he decided to cooperate with Prince Jing instead.
Prince Jing shook his head.
"Not yet. This place is not peaceful anyway. Bring more people with you when you go out on weekdays, and try not to go out at night."
Zhu Yu: "Okay."
When Zhu Yu heard that she could go out and play, her mood instantly became better. The icy face of Prince Jing seemed to soften a little in her eyes. She greeted Prince Jing in a cheerful tone and went out with Ai Yun and Sakura duo.
Along the way, I accompanied Ai Yun to the pharmacy and bought a lot of medicinal materials she needed. I put them all in the space. Zhu Yu's space can not only store things, but also preserve them fresh and prevent spoilage, which is really great.
Zhu Yu took Ai Yun's arm and whispered in her ear: "Have you prepared the drug I told you about?"
Ai Yun looked at a butterfly flying in the distance and said in a relaxed tone, "No problem, I'll give it to you in the evening."
Zhu Yu: "Isn't this a slap on the face to detoxify?"
Ai Yun: "You have to keep fanning until it swells up to remove the poison!"
Zhu Yu: "So excellent..."
Seeing that Zhu Yu really believed it, Ai Yun smiled like a little girl should, "I was kidding you. He will wake up in half an hour. If you are in a hurry, you can just pour a basin of cold water on him and he will wake up immediately. But no matter how he wakes up, he will be weak for another hour. This hour and a half is enough to avoid danger."
Zhu Yu: "You little rascal, as a punishment, you must give me a truth pill."
Ai Yun: "This is a bit more difficult. I'll give it to you when I'm done."
Zhu Yu nodded and took out a small purse from his sleeve, "Here, this is for the medicine."
Ai Yun didn't want it. All her food and drink were provided by Zhu Yu, who always took her shopping. She was not short of money. Besides, with Zhu Yu as her backer, she could also make money by selling medicine to treat illnesses, so she didn't need to ask Zhu Yu for money anymore.
Zhu Yu carelessly stuffed the purse into Ai Yun's arms and said, "Just take it. You can still be with me every day. You can go anywhere without money. Besides, we are close friends. How can there be so much of yours and mine?"
Ai Yun was deeply touched. It turned out that she regarded Zhu Yu as her backer and Zhu Yu treated her as her close friend. She did not back down and accepted the money.
A few people strolled past an overpass, and there stood a storyteller underneath. The man looked to be in his forties, with a thin build and standing straight. He was wearing a clean and neat coarse cloth suit. He was telling a story passionately, and bursts of applause broke out from the crowd from time to time, which attracted Zhu Yu's attention.
But when they stopped, the story was almost over. The hero won the battle and was made a marquis and prime minister. There was nothing new about it.
As they were about to leave, they heard the storyteller clear his throat and say, "I usually tell stories about heroes and beauties. Today I will tell you a different story."
Zhu Yu paused: I should have a handful of melon seeds in my hand at this moment, eating melon is my favorite.
