Chapter 9: Red Gold Pagoda
In addition, Hongying urged her to eat twice, but she only pretended to take a sip of the soup.
This proves that there is something wrong with the soup.
After hearing what Shen Shuyi said, Yu Ping was so angry that her eyes turned red. She first took Shen Shuyi's soup bowl and poured out the soup in a hidden place.
Then he went to the bathroom and found a way to dig out what he had just eaten.
Later, when sending the food box back to the kitchen, Yuping was cautious and chatted with the kitchen nanny. She found out that Zhiyuan had come here at noon and had chatted with Hongying. She became more and more certain that these two people had bad intentions.
*
An hour later, Hongying came back hurriedly with a pale face.
"Miss, I found out that the noble lady who came to the temple was Princess Guining." Hongying spoke tremblingly, as if she was frightened by something.
"Princess Guining?" Shen Shuyi pretended not to know.
Hongying nodded: "Princess Guining is the daughter of Prince Chen. She grew up with Your Majesty since childhood. Their friendship is deep and they are extremely noble."
Shen Shuyi looked at him and said gently, "Why do you look so bad? Are you sick?"
Hongying was stunned for a few seconds, then came to her senses, suppressed the panic in her heart, hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "When I was investigating, I happened to see Princess Guining executing a maid."
Shen Shuyi frowned slightly, and then he heard Hongying continue: "I heard that the maid accidentally hurt the princess's hair when she was combing her hair."
What Hongying didn't say was that when she and others were halfway through their investigation, she saw the maid being dragged out and beaten to death. The bloody corpse was wrapped in a straw mat by the guards and carried away from the bushes where she was hiding.
Hongying felt horrified when she thought of the maid's pale face and the bright red bloodstains on the ground.
Although the Shen family sometimes punished servants, it was rare for them to take someone's life over a disagreement like this.
"What else did you find out?" Shen Shuyi asked gently.
Hongying came back to her senses and lowered her voice: "I only heard that the princess has a flamboyant personality and her style of doing things..."
Extremely vicious!
Perhaps because she was frightened, Hongying did not continue the conversation.
Shen Shuyi picked up the teacup but didn't ask any more questions.
After all, she has long known what kind of personality Princess Guining has, and what’s more important is that Hongying also knows it now.
Now that she understands, things will be easier.

In the evening, Shen Shuyi fell ill again, and Yuping was also sick.
It is not difficult to guess what kind of medicine Hongying and Zhiyuan gave. After all, no matter how brave they are, they would never dare to actually murder someone.
"Miss, let me stay with you tonight." Hongying took the initiative to speak. Looking at Shen Shuyi's red face due to fever, she felt more expectant.
Shen Shuyi responded indifferently, and was unable to get up for the entire next day.
After Hongying retrieved the meal, she skillfully changed the medicine to ensure that Shen Shuyi would not recover from his illness quickly.
Two days later, no extra meals were delivered from the kitchen, and the three meals a day returned to the original cold and hard steamed buns and porridge.
Hongying opened the food box and sat on the bed, wiping away tears that she had forced out: "They are too much. The young lady is still sick. How can eating such food make her better?"
Shen Shuyi sat on the bedside, glanced at it, and said indifferently: "Just make do for a few days."
Hongying choked up and said, "I'm afraid Yuping's condition is not as bad as yours. She is sicker than you. I'll see if I can ask someone to find a doctor."
"kindness."
Shen Shuyi responded, but seemed to be in low spirits.
The next day, evening.
Shen Shuyi's face turned red from the fever. After Hongying served her something to eat, Shen Shuyi said gently, "Call Yuping over. I have something to tell her."
Hongying seemed to want to say something, but when she met Shen Shuyi's cold eyes, she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth: "Yes."
Not long after, Yuping came over hurriedly, "Miss."
"Are you feeling better? But are you still feeling very uncomfortable?" Shen Shuyi asked with concern. Hongying was packing up the food boxes while listening to what the two were doing.
But after listening for a while, it was all useless news, mostly Shen Shuyi asking about Yuping's condition.
Hongying went out with the food box and closed the door behind her.
Shen Shuyi waited for a while, as if waiting for Hongying to go far away, and then said slowly: "We can't go on like this, neither of us can bear it."
Yuping blinked and looked sideways toward the window.
As it was not yet dark, there were no candles in the room, and so this time Hongying's shadow was not seen.
But Hongying didn't know that Yuping had been careful last time and had dug a hole in the lower part of the door frame. It was still early now, and she could catch a glimpse of Hongying's orange jacket and skirt reflected outside the hole.
"It's my fault. How about I go and ask Master Zhiyuan for help..." Yuping choked.
Shen Shuyi shook his head slightly and whispered, "When the midnight comes, go to the third locust tree on the east side of the lotus pond. There is a tower-shaped ornament buried under the tree. It is very valuable. Take it out."
Yu Ping was stunned for a few seconds, then responded, "Yes."
"Tomorrow morning, find a chance to go out and take your things to the shops in the city to pawn them, and then buy some medicine and some food." Shen Shuyi whispered.
"The servant understands."
Hongying outside the window listened to this scene, her eyes full of brilliance and a hint of resentment.
As expected, the Second Young Miss still didn't trust her. She had served her wholeheartedly for so long, but in the end, she still let Yuping do this kind of thing!
Fortunately, she listened to Zhiyuan, otherwise she wouldn't know how long she would be deceived by her.
*
At the hour of You, the sun sets.
After it became completely dark, Hongying looked at the drowsy Shen Shuyi and found an excuse to leave.
Then, taking advantage of the night, she groped her way to the lotus pond and found the locust tree that Shen Shuyi mentioned. She looked around carefully, and after confirming that there was no one there, she began to dig under the tree with swift movements.
Because it is the backyard of the Buddhist temple, there are very few people coming and going.
After digging for about a quarter of an hour, Hongying was sweating profusely. Just when she was wondering if she had dug in the wrong place, she caught a glimpse of a corner of the silk.
Her face lit up with joy, and she gathered all her strength. After a while, she carefully brought out a box wrapped in brocade.
Hongying held her breath, her throat tightened, and she hurriedly opened the box.
The dazzling gold color made her eyes hurt, and the gems inlaid on it sparkled.
She quickly closed the box, her heart beating rapidly and her eyes filled with ecstasy that could not be concealed.
She held the box in her arms, quickly filled it with soil, and then returned to the room avoiding people.
In the room, Hongying's throat tightened and she couldn't help but open the box and take a few more looks.
The tower body is made of pure gold and is extremely gorgeous. Not to mention the craftsmanship and the jewels inlaid on it, I wonder how much silver money this large piece of gold can be exchanged for.
Hongying couldn't let go of it, but fearing being caught, she put the thing back like a thief and carefully hid it under the bed.
This second young lady is worthy of being the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion. No wonder they say a lean camel is bigger than a horse. If she hadn't been caught by her last time, she wouldn't have known that she had such a good thing hidden in her hand!
