Reborn, I was pursued by the Prince of the Broken Sleeves

Zhuifeng was amused and said aloud, "Master Wu said that the gift the young lady gave you is of extraordinary significance."

"Although his consultation fee is high, compared with the other two, he still takes advantage of the girl."

"Men can't take advantage of women, so he prepared these thank-you gifts. Besides these things..."

He pulled out a few silver notes from his sleeve and handed them over. "This is five thousand taels of silver. According to the Bi Cang Auction House's bid, he will buy the Flame Linghua."

Wu Xiaowen is indeed a businessman.

I absolutely don't want to owe favors to others for things that can be solved with gold and silver.

"Okay!" Su Manman didn't refuse and took the banknote, adding, "Thank Master Wu for me."

She likes things that are mutually beneficial.

During her subsequent stay in the capital, she had to deal with Wu Xiaowen.

Zhuifeng nodded, hesitated for a moment, took out a silver ingot from his waist, and handed it forward, "This is..."

He found it difficult to speak.

"This is the silver for the heart-protecting mirror that His Royal Highness Prince Qi gave you."

He said coldly, "His Highness said he doesn't like forced sales, so this is all he can give."

Zhuifeng didn't quite understand what His Highness meant.

Originally, Master Wu prepared so many medicinal herbs as a return gift.

His Highness said that the Flame Linghua was for his use, so he should pay for the return gift.

Therefore, he not only paid for the purchase of medicinal materials, but also paid five thousand taels of silver from the palace, all of which were sent in the name of Master Wu.

Finally, he offered to give Miss Su a silver ingot in his name as the cost of the heart-protecting mirror.

Su Manman looked at the silver ingot and was so angry that she almost laughed.

In her previous life, she never thought he was so stingy.

What's more, her breastplate was priceless, so she could be sent away with just one ingot of silver.

He really knows how to do this business.

Su Manman took the silver and asked with a smile, "Thank you, Your Highness. Is Your Highness at home? I would like to come and thank you in person."

"His Highness has been recuperating in his residence recently and is closed to visitors."

Over the years, all the girls who wanted to take advantage of the master were rejected by Zhuifeng.

This was his master's order to him.

Have you been recuperating in the mansion?

it is good!

very good!

If he had stayed in the mansion and not gone out, others' assassination plans against him would not have been carried out, and he might have been able to avoid the disaster.

Hopefully!

"Please protect my brother and thank His Highness on my behalf."

When she was stranded in Jiangyang, her purse was stolen for a period of time, and she had to live a hard life by begging every day.

In those days, one or two taels of silver was a huge sum of money. It was enough to buy steamed buns and dumplings for more than a month's food expenses.

"Qingluan, send this guard brother out."

"Yes."

As soon as Zhuifeng walked out of the gate of Cuixiangyuan, Xinghua, who was squatting in the corner and eavesdropping, immediately passed the news to the backyard.

When Old Lady Qian heard that Master Wu had sent a bunch of things, she was shocked.

"Wu Xiaowen treated Lin," she was confused, "how come he's giving something to the eldest girl instead?"

"It was sent by the guards around His Royal Highness Prince Qi."

Xinghua was also a little annoyed and confused: "I was standing far away and didn't hear their conversation clearly, but I could see the hundred-year-old ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, deer antlers and other things in the box clearly."

She thought for a moment and added, "When I left, I gave him the banknote."

"It's really weird!" Old Madam Qian couldn't figure out the reason.

Fortunately, she listened to her son and did not provoke that girl yesterday.

Judging from the situation, that girl did have a relationship with His Royal Highness Prince Qi and Master Wu.

When she heard that there was a rare century-old ginseng among the gifts, she started to wonder, "That girl received so many good things, she should give some to the elders."

She has been troubled by things happening in the mansion recently and has been feeling upset. She needs to nourish her body and regulate her qi and blood.

If that girl had any filial piety, she would have been sensible and sent some over earlier.

In the past, whenever Lin had something good, she would always be the first person he thought of and send it to her.

With Lin around, the girl shouldn't be ignorant of etiquette.

After lunch, despite Xinghua's repeated reminders, Mrs. Qian did not take a nap for the first time.

What if she fell asleep and the girl came with the things and left again? What should she do?

She waits for good things to be delivered to her door.

Unfortunately, she waited and waited, but no one showed up.

She sent people to check several times, but there was no movement in Cuixiangyuan.

At dinner time, there was still no sign of anyone.

She was so angry that she ate very little. She was so sleepy that she tossed and turned on the couch and couldn't fall asleep.

After finally falling asleep, Mrs. Qian rarely talked in her sleep and kept cursing.

In the Nishang Courtyard, Su Jiaojiao, who had been suffering from insomnia, was so angry that she overturned the plates on the table when she heard that Master Wu had sent a box of gifts.

The soupy food spilled from the table to the floor. When a bowl of borscht was overturned, the blood-red soup accidentally stained her snow-white cuffs and continued to spread, which was very dazzling.

This satin moon-shaped flower skirt was specially customized by Aunt Liu from the best Jinli Embroidery Shop in the capital half a year ago for the flower-viewing banquet.

The embroidery workshop sent it over today, and she tried it on, but she didn't expect it to turn out like this.

Su Jiaojiao screamed several times and frantically wiped her cuffs with a handkerchief in her hand, scaring the maid who wanted to help her so much that she trembled all over like a frightened quail.

The blood-red color of the cuffs became bigger and more eye-catching the more they were rubbed.

"Why am I so unlucky?"

Finally, she sat down on the couch dejectedly, looking depressed.

She really didn't understand what charm Su Manman had that attracted the attention of Master Wu in this life, and even King Qi seemed to treat her differently.

She relied on these men to gain the upper hand.

But in an instant, Su Jiaojiao remembered the unspeakable secret of her husband in her previous life, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of her lips again.

Love someone, happily marry someone, and finally find out that your love was given to the wrong person.

At that time, she felt as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was splitting apart, and everything was dark.

Why not let Su Manman have a taste of that?

The days seemed calm on the surface, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.

That afternoon, Su Manman and her mother were chatting in the house when Qingluan trotted in, "Miss, Nanny Li has been released."

So fast.

"Come in for questioning."

After a while, Taohong helped Li Ma Ma into the house.

When Nanny Li saw Lin, she knelt on the ground, her face tired but excited: "Madam, you are finally awake."

"Madame Li, please stand up and sit down." Mrs. Lin called her.

Nanny Li was the dowry she brought with her when she got married, and she has been with her in the Su Mansion all these years.

He is the person she trusts the most.

Nanny Li sat down in a chair, calmed down, and finally spoke: "Last night, Nanny Zhang hanged herself in prison."

"Before she died, she left a confession. It stated that she had mistakenly purchased the poison bowl, causing harm to her wife, and felt guilty, so she chose to end her life."

"This morning, Lord Cao questioned everyone one by one, and since he found nothing unusual, he released them all."

"The imperial court has issued a wanted list for that peddler."

A peddler from ten years ago, time has passed, now I don’t know whether he is dead or alive, how can I find him in such a vast sea of ​​people.

It's just for show.

In this matter, Nanny Zhang's suicide note was used as evidence to punish her alone.

It ended like this.

Su Manman frowned and said nothing.

In her previous life, her mother died, and she didn't know the real cause of her death.

After she entered the palace, the toxins in her body recurred and she was saved by her master.

The master deduced the time when she was poisoned and concluded that her mother also died of poisoning.

A poisoned bowl happened to be delivered to her mother's dining table, and she was the only one who used it. She didn't believe such a coincidence.

Su Manman's eyes darkened. "Is Aunt Liu back too?"

Nanny Li nodded. "I'm back. As soon as I entered the Su Mansion, I didn't even have time to change my clothes. I went straight to Yixiang Garden."

"Miss..." Nanny Li murmured, as if she wanted to say something. She glanced at Lin and shut up again.

"Miss," Tao Hong said nervously, "She must have gone to the old lady to complain."
