Traveling through time and space to become a concubine: I just want to live a leisurely life

Cui'er started to tremble a little when she saw the bracelet.

Now that he heard that it was found in her closet, he knelt down tremblingly.

She frantically explained: "Concubine, I didn't take these! I don't know how these two bracelets ended up in my cabinet!"

Shen Jingyi frowned slightly and stared at Cui'er with a sharp gaze, "You said these two bracelets were not taken by you?

But why is this bracelet in your closet? "

Her voice was so cold that it made people shudder.

Cui Er was trembling, with beads of sweat oozing from her forehead: "Concubine, I really don't know!

Maybe... maybe someone else put it there by mistake, or maybe someone wanted to frame me on purpose."

Her voice grew weaker and weaker, and it was obvious that she didn't even believe this explanation.

Shen Jingyi looked at her and took out the gold bracelet, "Who gave you this?"

Cui Er lowered her head and said, "Concubine, I really don't know."

Shen Jingyi snorted coldly, "Huh, you don't know? Are you afraid to say it?

You said you didn't know what was in your locker, but you kept the key yourself."

"Concubine, I really don't know!"

Cui'er's tears slid down her cheeks, she was really desperate.

The gold bracelet was given to her by Aunt Bai.

But she really didn’t know about the concubine’s mutton-fat jade bracelet!

Shen Jingyi looked at Cui'er and sighed, "Oh! Forget it, since you don't want to say it, I won't force you."

Cui Er just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Shen Jingyi say calmly, "Take it away and sell it!"

Cui'er's face turned pale in an instant. She looked at Shen Jingyi in horror, knowing that she could no longer argue.

So she cried and begged for mercy, "Concubine, I was wrong. I said that the gold bracelet was given to me by Aunt Bai.

It was all because of my greed that I did such a stupid thing. Please forgive me, Concubine!

But I didn't say anything! I won't dare to do it next time, Concubine, please forgive me this time!"

After hearing this, Shen Jingyi was unmoved and just said loudly: "If you fail once, you won't succeed a hundred times. Take him away."

"Wuwuwu... Concubine, I was wrong, Concubine..."

Cui'er cried loudly, but was dragged out by Chunliu.

"Shut your mouth."

When Chunliu heard this, he did not really stop Cui'er from talking.

Instead, he tapped her body, and Cui'er could no longer make any sound.

After Cui'er was taken away, Shen Jingyi glanced at the people in the yard who were silent as a mouse.

He said calmly, "I don't want another Cui'er to appear in our courtyard."

Everyone lowered their heads quickly and responded in unison: "We dare not."

Shen Jingyi nodded in satisfaction, "Let's all go! Go do what you need to do."

"Yes."

After everyone left, Shen Jingyi handed the mutton-fat jade bracelet in her hand to Xia Zhu.

"Put it away!"

"Yes,"

Xia Zhu took it with both hands and turned to put the bracelet away.

Dongmei looked at Shen Jingyi, who was still holding the gold bracelet, and asked curiously, "Concubine, what should we do with this gold bracelet?"

Shen Jingyi smiled faintly and said, "Of course I returned it to Aunt Bai."

After a while, Chunliu came back and reported: "Concubine, the person has been taken away by the human traffickers."

Shen Jingyi nodded, and then asked: "Have you told the traffickers to sell it to a farther place?"

Chunliu replied respectfully: "I have said it all."

"That's good. Let's go and visit Aunt Bai."

Shen Jingyi curled up a smile, stood up, and with the help of Dongmei, led everyone to Aunt Bai's residence.

Aunt Bai lived in Cuiping Courtyard in the northwest corner of the garden, which was far away from Shen Jingyi's Youlan Courtyard.

A group of people walked slowly through the garden, feeling the tranquility and coldness of winter.

There is not much scenery in the garden in winter. The cold wind blows through the fallen leaves on the ground, making a rustling sound, which makes the garden look even more desolate.

Shen Jingyi wrapped her cloak tightly around herself and hugged the heater in her arms.

"Concubine, why don't we go back? It will be the same if I call Aunt Bai over."

Xia Zhu looked at Shen Jingyi worriedly and said.

Shen Jingyi glanced at her and smiled, "No, I'm not that delicate. Although it's a bit cold, it's quite comfortable to walk around."

"Then please walk slower."

"It's okay. Aren't you holding me up?"

The group walked slowly, and after half an hour, they finally arrived at Cuiping Courtyard.

This was Shen Jingyi's first time here. It was a small courtyard with no decoration inside. It looked very ordinary and well-behaved.
