After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

Shen Yunjin lowered her eyes, "It's because I'm stupid and can't speak."

"Hurry up and help Concubine Shen up. She is pregnant now. The child in her belly is the heir to the throne. You blind people should be punished by the Queen Mother with dozens of sticks."

At this time, Jinzhi trotted over and helped Shen Yunjin up, "Master, are you okay?"

Shen Yunjin shook his head and subconsciously put the thing in his hand into his sleeve pocket.

She looked at Jinzhi and saw that her face was covered in sweat and her hair was a little messy.

Jinzhi and the other maids were clearly waiting outside, so why did she look like this? It looked like she had just run around the palace.

She looked away; now was not the time to ask questions.

Concubine Ning was furious, but because Princess Anyang was here, she couldn't get any advantage.

She slapped the maid next to her with her backhand, "Why don't you go get a hand warmer? Do you want to freeze me to death?"

The maid covered her face, not daring to cry, and left quickly.

Another maid helped Concubine Ning, "Master, be careful, your hand hurts."

Shen Yunjin watched the two people walk away, and recalled the half face of the maid he had just seen, and became absent-minded.

"Oh, are you scared silly? You really come from a humble family, and you are so scared?"

Princess Anyang's sarcastic voice sounded nearby.

Shen Yunjin came back to her senses and bowed to Anyang, "I thank Princess Anyang."

Anyang sneered.

She was just a mere concubine, not worthy of her meddling.

However, she never got tired of causing trouble for Lady Ning.

She looked Shen Yunjin up and down with disdain and walked away.

Shen Yunjin waited until there was no one around before asking Jinzhi in a low voice.

"Where did you go just now? Why are you so embarrassed?"

"Just now, I and other maids were waiting outside. Halfway through, a young eunuch came and said that the imperial kitchen was short-handed and needed help. He called a few people, and I happened to be one of them."

"I went there because I was afraid of causing trouble for my master. But when I got there, I found that the imperial kitchen didn't need any staff at all. I was anxious and hurried over when I heard that the front hall had been dismissed."

Shen Yunjin understood that Jinzhi had fallen into a trap to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

With Jinzhi's help, she got into the carriage of Prince Qi's mansion, and then took out the things she had just picked up from her sleeve pocket.

It is an exquisite red glass bead earring.

"Master, where did this come from?" Jinzhi could tell at a glance that this was not Shen Yunjin's jewelry.

This glass bead should be the culprit that almost caused Shen Yunjin to slip just now.

When Shen Yunjin got up just now, his hand that was supporting himself on the ground accidentally touched something.

She had an idea and picked it up and hid it quietly.

When she heard Jinzhi asking, she told Jinzhi what had happened.

"This earring looks a bit like Sister Yuchuan's. She showed it off to the other maids today, saying that Concubine Ning gave it to her as a gift and that it was a tribute from the Western Regions."

Jinzhi carefully identified her and explained, "Yuchuan is the maid who helped Concubine Ning just now."

Shen Yunjin was now certain that the owner of the earring was indeed Yuchuan.

Because just now, when she saw the jade bracelet, she did discover that she was missing an earring.

But did this earring fall off accidentally, or did someone do it on purpose?

"I shouldn't have left my master. It was because I was stupid that I was sent away by others."

Jinzhi also realized that she had fallen into a trap and she was very depressed.

"It's none of your business. The person they want to target is your master. If you don't go, won't that just give them a handle?"

Because the pastry shop is about to be completed, Yuzhi has recently been obsessed with researching various pastries.

She even reached the point of being unable to sleep or rest. Shen Yunjin forced her to take a break and gave her a day off.

Cui Liu was originally planning to go with Shen Yunjin to the palace today, but thinking about what happened in the past few days, he asked her to stay behind to guard the yard.

For the first time, Shen Yunjin felt the shortage of manpower.

"Master, how about we pick one or two of the second-class or rough servants?"

Yuzhi will definitely be very busy in the future, and Shen Yunjin is pregnant, so two maids are definitely not enough.

"First, take a look at the maids in the courtyard to see if there are any potential hires. I will make a decision after I have checked their backgrounds."

Yuzhi nodded and began to consider whether there was a suitable candidate among the maids in the yard.

"Master, Fulu is here." Fulu came over as soon as the two returned home.

Fulu walked forward with a smile on his face and bowed to Shen Yunjin first.

"Concubine, Master asked me to send him over. Master said that he has something important to discuss with the Emperor and will be back very late. He told Concubine not to leave the door open and that he will rest in the outer courtyard when he returns."

People, what people? Shen Yunjin looked at Fulu in confusion.

Fulu waved towards the outside of the yard, and a woman walked in.

She was seen walking with her head down and small steps, with the corners of her clothes not even fluttering.

"Your servant greets Concubine Shen." She walked to one meter in front of Shen Yunjin, knelt down and kowtowed, neither hurried nor slow, without any mistakes.

Shen Yunjin nodded and said, "Lift your head up and let me see it."

The woman slowly raised her head. She had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and she looked ordinary. She looked like a child from a poor family.

"What is this?..." Shen Yunjin asked Fulu.

"This is the maid that the prince asked me to find for Concubine Shen. Her name is Zhaodi. Her family is a martial arts family. Her father was originally a guard for a wealthy merchant, but he was framed and brutally murdered. In order for her mother and brother to survive, she sold herself."

"It should have been sent to the concubine a long time ago, but I specially asked the etiquette nanny in the palace to teach it for a while, so I sent it to you now."

"Zhao Di knows some boxing and kicking skills, so she can easily deal with three or five gangsters."

After Fulu gave all the instructions, he said goodbye in a hurry as he had to hurry to the palace.

"Please give me a name, master." Zhaodi kowtowed politely.

"From now on, you will be called Yang Liu. You will take care of my clothes on weekdays. If you have any questions, you can ask Jin Zhi."

"I, the servant Yang Liu, thank you for giving me a name." Yang Liu kowtowed politely and then stood up.

As soon as Yang Liu arrived, she immediately filled the vacancy of Hong Liu as the first-class maid, but she did not seem to show off. She seemed to be a calm person.

Shen Yunjin couldn't help but nodded. This Yang Liu was indeed good and very much to her liking.

Jinzhi took Yangliu to the ear room next door and familiarized her with Hongliu's previous affairs.

Shen Yunjin held the teacup and looked out the window.

Through the window, you can see the flowers in the yard.

The poisonous flower was not transplanted, but all the open flowers were cut off directly.

Only the flower branches and buds are left.

It seems that she should give Ning Ruyan a big gift, otherwise, how can she be worthy of her good intentions?
