After Gao married the prince, the sick and weak concubine lost her horse

Chapter 216 216 Exploitation
Before the two maids guarding the door had time to ask for instructions, Wang Baoying had already come uninvited.

She looked at Shen Qingci who was sitting in the room.

"Miss Axi is also here, and I'm about to find you."

Shen Qingci subconsciously looked at Zheng Shi, and exchanged glances with her.

Obviously, Wang Baoying doesn't usually walk around here.

Right now, it's for her.

Shen Qingci got up and greeted her.

After exchanging pleasantries, Wang Baoying looked at Shen Qingci with a smile: "I heard that Young Master Zhang went to the Sheriff's Mansion today, why didn't Miss Axi go with her?"

If it weren't for the sincerity on her face, these words would sound like she was mocking Shen Qingci.

Especially when Shen Qingci inadvertently caught the eyes of the two maids following her looking at her.

They all looked at her neck intentionally or unintentionally.

Shen Qingci: "..."

She suddenly thought of the scene where she was bitten here by Sheng Tingye.

It must have left traces.

Terrible!

In addition, the master walked out of her room carelessly in the morning, and did not shy away from the maids arranged by the Wang family to serve in the courtyard.

I'm afraid that at this moment, the word that she is the servant girl next to "Zhang Jincheng" has already spread throughout the Wang family.

Plus the marks on the neck...

It's no wonder that Wang Baoying had a strange look in her eyes the first time she saw her.

Shen Qingci smiled, "My servant has been feeling unwell for the past few days, the young master is considerate, so I asked my servant to rest at home."

Who ever thought that it would be better not to say this.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone looked at her with weird eyes.

Shen Qingci almost couldn't help biting off his tongue.

It's getting darker and darker!
Even the smile on Wang Baoying's face froze.

But soon, she recovered her normal look, and smiled at Shen Qingci: "It can be seen that Mr. Zhang really values ​​Miss Axi very much."

I don't know if it's Shen Qingci's illusion.

The word "importance" sounds like a gnashing of teeth.

She could only force a smile.

Wang Baoying stepped forward and took Shen Qingci's hand, "Miss Axi is rarely here, so I'll take you around."

Shen Qingci doesn't like her temperament of trying to make ends meet.

But right now, he could take advantage of the situation and use her to meet his grandmother.

Thinking of this, Shen Qingci smiled: "Okay, I will trouble Miss Wu."

Wang Baozhu on the side also kept clapping his hands: "Baozhu is going too!"

Wang Baoying smiled and wanted to hold Wang Baozhu's hand, but Wang Baozhu avoided it.

Seeing Wang Baozhu enthusiastically pulling Shen Qingci up, Wang Baoying just smiled: "Then let's go together."

Several people bid farewell to Mrs. Zheng, left the yard, and went all the way to the big garden of the Wang family.

After walking a few steps, Wang Baoying wanted to find an excuse to send Wang Baozhu away, but Wang Baozhu entangled Shen Qingci too tightly.

In desperation, she had no choice but to push away the maid beside her, and spoke to Shen Qingci in front of Wang Baozhu.

"Miss Axi, what happened last night... was me..."

Such a thing, even if it is not done, it will be embarrassing if it is said.

Wang Baoying was ashamed.

Shen Qingci smiled, and said very understandingly: "Axi didn't see the fifth girl last night, what happened last night that Axi didn't know?"

Hearing what Shen Qingci said, Wang Baoying suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Baozhu grabbed Shen Qingci's left arm, and she stepped forward to warmly pull Shen Qingci's right hand.

"Miss Axi, to be honest, I'm a little jealous... Miss."

Shen Qingci blinked, pretending to be puzzled.

Wang Baoying blushed, lowered her eyes and said: "The first time I saw your young master, I was astonished... I thought at that time... Even if I don't want to sacrifice my daughter's face, as long as I can stand by his side, Seeing it every day, this life is enough..."

She had said it bluntly enough.

Shen Qingci can no longer pretend to be ignorant.

She pretended to be surprised and said, "Fifth girl...you..."

Wang Baoying's face was as red as overripe fruit.

She swiftly took off the jasper floating flower bracelet from her wrist, stuffed it into Shen Qingci's hand, and said flatteringly: "Miss Axi, as long as you can help me this time, I will definitely remember Miss Axi's greatness in the future." Endad."

Shen Qingci frowned, a little confused: "But, my young master... doesn't really like other people meddling in his affairs."

Upon hearing this, Wang Baoying hurriedly said: "I don't need Miss Axi to do other things, just tell me what Mr. Zhang likes, what he usually does, and where he is going these few days..."

Wang Baoying's voice became softer as she went on.

Shen Qingci smiled and pushed the bracelet back to her hand.

Under Wang Baoying's somewhat disappointed eyes, she said with a smile: "Young Master has a lot of preferences, and it's not easy for us slaves to figure it out."

"but."

Having said this, Shen Qingci paused.

It was this meal that aroused Wang Baoying's curiosity, and she looked at Shen Qingci eagerly.

Shen Qingci said with a smile: "Young master likes calligraphy and painting, especially cedar pictures."

After that, she smiled and refused to say any more.

But just this sentence is enough to make Wang Baoying's eyes shine.

Cedar figure.

She murmured.

"It's a coincidence!"

Wang Baoying held Shen Qingci's hand, turned her ankle, and was about to head towards the Taihe Hall.

"There is a picture of cedar trees hanging in my grandmother's room. It is said that it was written by a famous artist. Miss Axi, help me to see, maybe it can catch the eyes of the young master?"

If possible, even if it was not for her, even if it was for the Wang family, Wang Qici would come and use it to curry favor with Zhang Jincheng.

She can also be regarded as making great contributions to the Wang family.

As everyone knows, these are all in Shen Qingci's calculations.

She just wanted to use this excuse to visit her grandmother Pang Zi.

By the way, pay attention to Mama Qian again.

This is Wang Baoying's grandmother.

Because of Qian's mother's status beside Pang, it is of course more convenient for Wang Baoying to enter and exit the Taihe Hall than others.

There was a picture of cedar hanging in the main house of Taihe Hall, and Jiang Yuwan had it there as long as he could remember.

She knew Wang Baoying's temperament, so she deliberately threw out the bait of Xuesongtu.

It doesn't matter if he really likes "Zhang Jincheng".

The scheming in his heart succeeded, and Shen Qingci made a pretense in front of him: "I heard that the old lady is ill, and the servant has gone like this, will you bother me?"

Hearing this, Wang Baoying quickly waved her hands and said, "No, grandma is very good."

It was also because of Mother Qian that Wang Baoying was brought up in the Taihe Hall. Although she was a concubine, her status and treatment were no worse than Wang Baoqin who was a descendant.

Even because she was raised right next to her, Pang paid more attention to Wang Baoying.

No wonder she would say such a thing.

"It's just that grandma is really not in good health these few days, and her spirit is not good, but she should be happy to see us pass by."

Wang Baoying smiled.

Several people were talking, but saw a group of people walking on the opposite path.

The moment she saw the other party, the smile on Wang Baoying's face froze.

Different from the deliberate flattery and warmness when talking to Shen Qingci, her tone was cold.

"Where is Seventh Sister going?"

Shen Qingci followed the sound and saw Wang Baoqin with red eyes looking over.

Behind her were two servant girls, one of whom was holding a food box.

Wang Baoying naturally noticed it too, she clicked her tongue and said, "Oh, I see, Seventh Sister is going to visit that Young Master Xiao again, right?"

Wang Baoqin blushed when her mind was poked.

She hadn't opened her mouth to defend herself, but Wang Baoying said in a strange tone: "However, Seventh Younger Sister is destined to make a futile trip. I heard that Madam sent him away early in the morning."

"Speaking of which, everyone says that Seventh Sister is the one who knows the rules and etiquette the most in our family. Who would have thought that Seventh Sister would run to Mr. Xiao's yard all day long, thanks to Madam who sent her away, otherwise, It's not good for Seventh Sister's reputation, is it?"

With these words, even Shen Qingci, who was standing beside her, couldn't help feeling angry for Wang Baoqin.

Wang Baoqin didn't hesitate to contradict Mrs. Sun because of Mr. Xiao, and was locked up by Mrs. Sun. Only then did she think of a way to visit him, only to find out that she was really sent away by Mrs. Sun.

I'm afraid she is sad right now, Wang Baoying's words are undoubtedly poking her lungs.

Sure enough, Wang Baoqin's eyes turned even redder.

She suppressed her tears and raised her eyebrows to look at Wang Baoying, "No matter how ignorant I am of etiquette and shame, it's better than some people recommending themselves to pillow mats in the middle of the night and being turned away!"

That was too merciless.

The smile on Wang Baoying's face could no longer hold back.

Both sides were at war with each other, and they were about to quarrel, Shen Qingci hastily grabbed Wang Baozhu, wanting Wang Baozhu to speak out to break this embarrassing situation.

Wang Baozhu, who didn't know the truth, blinked her big watery eyes, and looked at Shen Qingci: "Sister Wan, why are you dragging me?"

Shen Qingci: "..."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Baoying and Wang Baoqin both looked at Shen Qingci.

It seems more embarrassing.

Shen Qingci smiled brightly and said bravely: "It's nothing, didn't you just say that you were going to pay your respects to your grandmother? Let's go."

The little fool Wang Baozhu tilted her head, as if she was trying to remember whether she said this sentence or not.

Wang Baoying, who reacted from the side, had already grabbed Shen Qingci's arm: "Let's go, Miss Axi."

Shen Qingci was taken away like this.

When turning around, she inadvertently glanced at Wang Baoqin who was opposite.

Seeing tears in her eyes, she seemed to have endless grievances, but she just tilted her head up, proudly refusing to let the tears fall.

This scene moved Shen Qingci a little.

She couldn't help being a little curious, what kind of person is Xiao Gongzi who can make a proud and cold girl like Wang Baoqin fall in love with him?

It's a pity that people have been driven away by Sun.

But Shen Qingci still had more things to consider, so he quickly put this matter behind him.

"Miss Axi, don't listen to Seventh Sister, she is just like that, she doesn't like anything."

After walking a long distance, Wang Baoying was still dragging Shen Qingci to chatter.

Shen Qingci responded to everything on the surface.

Finally arrived at Taihe Hall.

The woman who guarded the door saw Wang Baoying from a distance and greeted her with a smile.

"Why did the fifth girl come here?"

Only then did Wang Baoying's face regain a little smile.

"I'm coming to see my grandmother, and my grandmother by the way."

The two women smiled, didn't ask any more questions, and let it go.

Even Shen Qingci was a little surprised that the process went smoothly.

From the looks of it, Wang Baoying's favor here is not less than Shen Qingci expected.

Several people entered the courtyard, and within a few steps, they met the maid who was serving in the courtyard, and everyone saluted Wang Baoying one after another.

But no one took the little fool Wang Baozhu seriously.

Wang Baozhu didn't seem to care about this, and just hugged Shen Qingci's arm tightly, "Sister Wan, Baozhu wants to go back."

Shen Qingci had such a rare opportunity to meet his grandmother, so of course he didn't want to miss it, she persuaded Wang Baozhu a few words, and then Wang Baozhu relaxed.

Several people entered the outhouse together.

Not long after, Mother Qian opened the curtain and came out from the room.

As soon as she saw Wang Baoying, her eyes were full of doting and she blamed: "You child, are you still willing to come here?"

Naturally, Wang Baoying can't do without a set of coquetry and cuteness.

She dragged Mama Qian to the side, explaining the purpose of her visit in a rambunctious manner, Mama Qian turned her head to look at Shen Qingci from time to time, and finally nodded and said: "That painting is not too important, but I can let Miss Axi take a look. "

But since he wanted to enter the inner room, it was natural to introduce him to the old lady Pang Zi.

Mother Qian stepped forward and gave Shen Qingci a few words, then went in to answer.

Not long after, she opened the curtain herself, and welcomed Shen Qingci and others in.

As soon as Shen Qingci entered the door, he smelled a strong smell of herbs.

Her grandmother, Pang Zi, was half lying on the couch, her whole body was sickly, and her complexion was very bad.

The originally thin stature, now it seems that the word "skinny" can almost be used.

It seems that what Sun said is right, Pang's body is getting worse day by day.

"Granddaughter greets grandmother."

"Greetings to the old lady."

After some greetings, Pang turned his head to look at Shen Qingci: "This is the girl next to Mr. Zhang from Yunzhou?"

It seems that she lives in the Taihe Hall, but she is not ignorant of the affairs in this mansion.

Shen Qingci hurriedly stepped forward, leaned over and said: "My servant, Axi, I have seen the old lady."

Pang looked Shen Qingci up and down, and a look of amazement flashed in those slightly cloudy eyes.

"She is a beautiful girl, and she will be blessed in the future."

Shen Qingci blushed, lowered her eyes and said: "To be praised by the old lady is the blessing of a servant girl."

Seeing that she was eloquent, the smile on Pang's face deepened a bit.

But with a smile, she didn't know what she thought of, and a touch of loneliness suddenly appeared in her eyes.

Shen Qingci wanted to test it out, so he pretended not to know how to measure it and said: "The old lady must have thought of that young lady from the Jiang family."

Speaking of this, Shen Qingci sighed, pretending to be regretful and said: "The world is unpredictable, and I hope the old lady will mourn."

Hearing this, Ponzi was stunned.

The brilliance of the pupils also dimmed a bit, and there was a moment of absence.

Shen Qingci could see the sense of loss and pity from her expression, but she didn't see sadness.

At that moment, Shen Qingci's heart suddenly seemed to be grabbed by someone.

Some indescribable blocks.

In the past, when her grandmother thought of her, that look...

It was completely different from the expression in front of her when she mentioned that she came to Ponzi.

Shen Qingci quickly closed his eyes, not revealing his thoughts at all.

At this time, I only listened to Pang Ziyouyou's emotion.

"My Afu is also your age."

"It's a pity that it's in Beijing."

Aff.

Jiang Yuzhi.

Shen Qingci looked up.

There was a layer of mist in Pang's eyes.
