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

Lord Cao raided the dense forests of Xicheng District at night and captured a group of spies from the Huanyue Kingdom who were trying to assassinate His Royal Highness Prince Qi.

Officers and soldiers escorted a group of prisoners through the streets in a mighty procession.

The people threw stones, rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at them along the way.

Coincidentally, Aunt Liu and Su Manman went out shopping to buy things for the flower viewing festival, and their carriage was blocked at the entrance of an alley and couldn't get out.

The two men lifted the curtain and looked out, and saw Wang Er with yellow liquid on his face.

He was unkempt and looked old.

He hid in the dense forest for a while, with a full beard, messy hair, tattered clothes, and looked like a beggar.

Especially the black mole on the right chin, which appears more eye-catching.

When the mother and daughter saw him, they were both frightened.

The two of them lowered the curtains at the same time, looked at each other, and were speechless.

There was a commotion outside the car, people cheered for the capture of the spy, and cursed the evil deeds of the traitors of Huanyue State...

Inside the car, after a long silence, Su Jiaojiao uttered a suppressed cry: "Mom, what should we do?"

Aunt Liu tried her best to suppress her inner panic and held Su Jiaojiao's hand, "Don't worry, he is a kiln worker. I just asked him to make a fake porcelain."

"This happened ten years ago, who would pursue it?"

Aunt Liu's face was calm, and she said firmly, "Don't worry, this matter cannot implicate us mother and daughter."

"But mother..." Su Jiaojiao's voice trembled, "He contacted me secretly."

"He contacted you?"

Aunt Liu suddenly raised her voice, "What is he going to do? Ask you for money?"

Su Jiaojiao shook her head. "No, he occasionally does things for me, and I give him money."

"He works for you?"

Aunt Liu was even more shocked, her face flushed. "Why did you seek him out for work? What did he...what did he do for you?"

"I... only have one thing to do. Not long ago, when I went to the mountain near Baiyun Temple, I asked him to have someone cut down a large tree and block the main road."

As soon as Su Jiaojiao said this, Aunt Liu felt as if she had heard something out of the Arabian Nights. "Jiaojiao, you...what are you trying to achieve by doing this?"

Picture what?

In order to stop Su Manman and her companions' carriage and prevent them from passing, she encountered the assassination of King Qi and was killed along with the assassins.

If she said so, Aunt Liu would definitely ask how she knew that the spies of Huanyue Kingdom were planning to assassinate Prince Qi.

How should she answer?

If she said she was reborn, Aunt Liu would probably think she was crazy.

"I knew that His Royal Highness Prince Jin was going up the mountain, so I wanted to stop him, to create a chance encounter with him, and to take the opportunity to get close to him. I was just..." Su Jiaojiao couldn't continue, "I didn't expect that person to be related to the spies of Huanyue Kingdom."

"Mom, what should I do now?"

"Mom, if he gets caught, will he get me out?"

"Mom, what should I do if he betrays me?"

"I still want to marry His Royal Highness Prince Jin, I still want to..." I still want to be the queen!

Aunt Liu was also panicked.

That person, how dare he contact Maner.

She was panicking, but she forced herself to calm down and patted Su Jiaojiao's hand, "Don't worry, he won't betray you."

"Really?" Su Jiaojiao couldn't believe it.

"A desperate criminal like that will do anything for a fee. If tortured in prison, he'll definitely confess to protect himself."

Su Jiaojiao's heart was broken, her whole body trembling slightly. "I really didn't expect that he would be a spy from the Huanyue Kingdom. I thought... he was just a gangster."

Aunt Liu held Su Jiaojiao in her arms distressedly, tears rolling down her eyes, "He is a gangster, but I am sure he will never call you out."

"Turn around, let's go back home first." Aunt Liu lifted the curtain of the carriage and shouted at the coachman.

The sound was not very loud amid the noisy shouting.

However, this made Wang Er in the crowd look cold. He raised his head, which had been hanging down, and looked around.

Unexpectedly, he made eye contact with Aunt Liu in the carriage.

Aunt Liu glared at him fiercely and ruthlessly lowered the curtain.

The carriage turned and took a detour.

Wang Er was stunned for a moment, then a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He looked up at the sky. The sun was so bright that it made the corners of his eyes inexplicably moist.

The carriage returned to the Su Mansion, and the two returned to Lanxin Garden and did not come out for the whole day.

The masters of Lanxin Garden looked as if they were possessed by evil spirits, with gloomy faces, which frightened the maids and nannies working below so much that they dared not even breathe.

Nishangyuan is completely different!

All the toxins in the masters' bodies have been eliminated. This is a great joy!

Everyone in the yard was in high spirits.

Taohong and Rushuang went to the street in the morning and bought a lot of food and daily necessities.

There were so many things that Zhao Dashan drove them back in a horse-drawn carriage.

The carriage did not enter through the main gate of the Su Mansion, but took the alley for convenience.

Unfortunately, he was seen by Su Tinggui who was returning home from outside.

For some unknown reason, Su Tinggui followed the carriage and hid in the corner to peek.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Taohong jumped out and shouted.

Several maids ran out from the yard, all with happy faces.

Several people helped each other to move things down from the carriage.

"Why buy so much?" Ruyi asked in surprise as she looked at these things.

All kinds of fresh vegetables, fruits, grains, rice and meat were carried out of the car in baskets.

Especially the basket of amethyst grapes, which is a specialty fruit from the south.

It takes a month to transport it from the south to the capital. Ice is needed to cool it down during transportation, so the price is particularly expensive.

Old Madam Qian especially likes to eat this kind of amethyst grapes.

However, it is expensive, so Butler Zhang has to apply to Su Tinggui every time he buys it.

Even if the palace wanted to buy some, they would only buy two or three strings and share some among the three courtyards.

Naturally, Yixiangyuan got the largest share, and Aunt Liu and Su Jiaojiao's courtyards got a little more.

The Su family had never been so generous as to buy a basket of amethyst grapes.

Taohong pinched her waist and said with a smile, "There are more people in our Nishang Courtyard. Naturally, there is more food. As the young lady said, we can't sacrifice anything but our health."

"So, everyone's meals are on par with the girls."

"For lunch, let's work together and make a good meal for the girl."

"The girl loves these amethyst grapes. Let me buy some more so that everyone can have a taste."

"Okay, I'll wash it." Ruyi volunteered.

Several maids carried baskets and went in happily.

After a while, the coachman was about to leave. Taohong chased him out and handed him a bunch of grapes, saying, "Try some too."

Zhao Dashan picked a few, stuffed them into his mouth, grinned, and said, "So sweet!"

Su Tinggui's heart is bleeding.

Such good things were all distributed to those lowly maids and servants.

After taking back Lin's dowry, he teamed up with these maids to squander it like this?

What a spendthrift girl.
