Chapter 91 Hexagram 8
These are all the information about Xiao Huaining that the mirror provided, and Zhu Luo didn't dare to say a single word of praise about him.
No woman in the world would willingly share the same man with other women. This second princess was either living a very stifled life or had other intentions.
"The Second Princess, I've heard, is an excellent person. She's gentle, generous, and has no airs at all. Speaking of which, Miss has met the princess before, but at that time the princess was not yet married and Miss had not yet gone to the border town."
"Hehe, I don't remember anything from when she was little. Tell me about her life after marriage. Did the prince consort take any concubines?"
Perhaps they were insignificant people, because the mirror didn't have any records of Xiao Huaining and her past.
Banxia was slightly surprised: "Miss, you know that too? But it was all the princess who took the initiative to bring them into the mansion. The princess treats them very well. I heard all this from what I heard. The princess treats the ladies like her own sisters. One of the ladies had a difficult childbirth, and the princess even went to find a doctor to treat her in the middle of the night."
Zhu Luo snorted coldly: "The Second Princess is truly a magnanimous person. Does she have any favorite things?"
Thinking that the princess had no connection with him, he still felt he should bring some gifts when visiting.
"The second princess loves flowers, and I heard that the princess's residence has collected the most precious flowers in the world."
"That's too much. Okay, it's just flowers, I understand. I'm hungry after being busy all day. Let's go back and see what delicious food Uncle Xing brought over."
The food box has been delivered.
Banxia brought out the dishes one by one: a bowl of white porridge, a dark-colored flatbread, a dish of shredded ginger, and a few small steamed buns that looked like they were made of mixed grains.
Zhu Luo laughed immediately: "Is this breakfast or lunch?"
Banxia said angrily, "This was definitely not arranged by Uncle Xing. It must have been switched. There's not a trace of meat in it. Is this food that Miss can eat? This servant will go find them!"
Zhu Luo kept laughing and grabbed Banxia: "This is exactly what we expected. Otherwise, why would I have started a vegetable garden? It was to prevent this kind of thing from happening. Well, we've already eaten quite a lot for breakfast. This is still food, after all. We can't waste it. Let's eat first, and I'll add a couple more dishes."
Banxia pouted anxiously, "Miss, you're too easygoing. It's one thing for you to be capable, but it's another to not be treated well. If you ask me, just show these to Master. He'll definitely feel sorry for you."
"Forget it, if my cheapskate father really cares, he'll personally intervene. Even if I make a fuss, it's useless. This time it's fine, but what about next time? I'm just focusing my limited energy on the key points, which doesn't mean I don't care. When it accumulates to a certain point, it will be time for them to get their retribution."
"Really, miss? You have a solution?"
“Of course,” Zhu Luo picked up a shredded ginger with her chopsticks and clicked her tongue in disgust, “It wasn’t even pickled. The only thing I can’t stand is eating raw ginger!”
In Yufeng Courtyard, Shen Nianjiao handed over the hairpin.
Qi Rong and Zhang Ma's eyes immediately lit up.
"Did she give this to you?"
The jade hairpin head is carved into the shape of a hibiscus bud, with distinct, full, and rounded petals that are lifelike and serve as the stamen, radiating a charming luster. The entire hairpin is extremely luxurious and is a superior product.
Qi Rong's heart trembled.
This hairpin wasn't hers at all. With Shen Jinxi's salary, she wouldn't be able to get it back for years, but from now on, it's hers.
Shen Nianjiao frowned, having roughly guessed what was going on.
But it has nothing to do with her; a daughter can't expose her mother's wrongdoings.
"Mother, have you prepared the congratulatory gift for the Princess's residence tomorrow?"
Qi Rong's smiling face instantly darkened: "The preparations are complete, but I wonder if Your Highness will find such crude items acceptable!"
After saying that, Qi Rong sighed softly, fiddling with the hairpin in her hand.
Apart from Shen Jinxi's meager salary, only the few shops that Su Shi was unable to take with her could still bring in some income.
Without the support of these industries, how could such a huge mansion function properly? Not to mention having enough funds to purchase gorgeous clothes and dazzling jewelry.
Thinking of this, Madam Su couldn't help but look down at the hairpin she was clutching tightly in her hand. A sense of sorrow welled up in her heart. She was the sister of the dignified White Tiger General, yet she couldn't even afford a decent set of headdresses. It was truly heartbreaking.
Shen Nianjiao leaned closer and comforted her, "Mother, don't worry. I can also add a gift. I'm sure the princess will like it and it will stand out among all the gifts."
Qi Rong looked at her suspiciously: "You? Do you have any good ideas?"
How could a mother not know how much money her daughter has?
Zhu Luo set up a solar panel to power the lights in various parts of the yard, and stored the excess electricity.
They worked on it until late at night, around 9 PM. Some workers were so tired that they were sent home to rest. At least they managed to set up a warehouse so they wouldn't have to stay in tents outdoors to rest that night.
The workers even went out of their way to provide a simple wooden bed, solving the problem of temporary sleeping.
The two were making the bed when they suddenly heard a noise outside the window.
It wasn't just a rustling of wind or the slightest disturbance.
It wasn't Feng Sha calling for his son.
It was that kind of sound... seemingly indescribable between a man and a woman, and only the woman's voice could be heard.
The two looked at each other, neither able to believe what they were hearing.
Is Qingfeng Garden truly haunted?
"I'll go check on things. How can anyone sleep well this late at night?" Zhu Luo put on a smock and headed out.
Banxia stopped her: "No, Miss, what if it really is a ghost? Let it be, let her scream if she wants to."
"That won't do, wouldn't that be noise pollution? Besides, there are no ghosts in this world."
"If it's not a ghost, then it must be a person? Miss, Qingfeng Garden is already the most remote place in the house, nobody goes here."
Zhu Luo was actually a little worried that it was the fourth sister, but the voice was clearly not hers.
She suddenly remembered something: "Oh right, you once told me that the prince might have some special hobbies?"
If it wasn't a family member, then it must have come from someone in the next courtyard.
Banxia gasped, covering her mouth in shock: "Miss, you mean the Prince!"
"I'm just guessing. Never mind, it's better to verify it than to guess randomly."
Banxia further refused to let her go: "How can this matter be verified, Miss? I should go instead. There are only the two of us in the courtyard. I cannot let Miss take such a risk."
Zhu Luo pressed her hand down, somewhat anxiously: "There are lights in the courtyard, and I've set up traps everywhere. No one can break in. If we don't go now, the sounds will all stop."
Banxia was stunned.
She never expected her master to be so gossipy.
