The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 260 Visited the Mansion

Shangchun didn't hide anything: "I don't know. It was the lady who told me that you would definitely come back tonight and asked me to pay attention. When you come back, I will tell you that you don't have to stay in front of the lady's house and go back to your house first." Go to sleep, and when the lady wakes up early tomorrow morning, you should have a good rest, then go to the lady and tell her how things went."

"That's it." Kite used the candlelight to see that Shangchun was not wearing pajamas, "Has Aunt Shangchun not slept all this time?"

Shangchun said: "I lay down on the table and fell asleep for a while. When I woke up, it was already the end of the ugly time. I was afraid that if I fell asleep again, I would sleep past Yin Shi, and then I wouldn't know when you came back, so I didn't sleep again. Sitting by the window and watching the movement through the small crack, I will know when you come back. The lady has been very busy these days and is very tired. Let the lady have a good sleep. You must be tired too, and Go back and have a good rest, no matter what happens, we won’t talk about it until dawn.”

Kite finally understood why Shang Chun found her back. It turned out that he didn't hear her movements, but seemed to see her figure. After all, her footsteps could be completely suppressed, but her figure could not be invisible. No matter how agile she was, , you can always see a little movement when you walk on the verandah.

Of course, this also shows that Shangchun's eyesight is very good. If his eyesight is poor, even if he stares closely, he will not be able to catch the afterimage of her dodging between light and darkness.

Unless he is also a master.

"Then I'll go back to the house and sleep, and Aunt Shangchun will go and have a rest." Watching this early morning, she felt that Shangchun must also be very sleepy.

"Okay." In order to complete what Meng Shisan told him, Shang Chun opened her eyes wide and forced herself to wake up until this moment. At this moment, she finally waited for Kite to say everything she needed to say. As soon as she relaxed, she yawned all the time. .

The next day, Meng Shisan came back from walking around Qiushui Lake. Kite had already waited at Mingxiao Hall. After she returned to the dormitory, she wiped off a thin layer of sweat from her body, and then put on a dry shirt and skirt before stepping into Mingxiao Hall.

"Miss." Kite called out.

"Tell me." Meng Shisan was at the top left.

Baozhu was at one side, holding a round fan in his hand, and slowly fanned Meng Shisan.

"Based on the clues that Wen Yuan had previously inquired about, my servant chased him to a restaurant. Shopkeeper Liu did appear there, but only for a moment. The waiter in front of the shop only saw him entering, not seeing him leaving." The kite was fine, "The slave stuffed twenty copper coins into the shopkeeper, and then he quietly informed the slave that after Shopkeeper Liu entered Di's shop, he only said hello to him, and then went directly into the small courtyard behind Di's shop. After that, he Shopkeeper Liu has never been seen again."

Meng Shisan asked: "Does the small courtyard behind the store have a back door?"

"My servant has seen it, and there is indeed a back door." Kite replied, "The small courtyard is where the shopkeeper of Di shop and his family live. Shopkeeper Liu can go to the small courtyard, so he must know the shopkeeper of Di shop." The servant then went to ask the shopkeeper of Di shop, The shopkeeper was afraid that the slave was a bad person at first, so he refused to tell the truth. The slave could not reveal his identity, so he had to threaten him with the shopkeeper's son. Only then did he admit that he was acquainted with Shopkeeper Liu and that he had met Shopkeeper Liu the evening before yesterday. The shopkeeper also leaves the restaurant through the back door."

"Where's the Di store?" Meng Shisan asked again.

"Nanshu Alley in the south of the city." Kite replied.

At this time, Shangchun happened to come in with freshly brewed incense tablets. When he heard this, he interrupted: "But it's called 'Mingyue Di Shop'?"

At the beginning of the fifth watch in the morning, Kite taught Shangchun's good eyesight to be shocked. Now he was shocked again: "How does Aunt Shangchun know?"

"Do you know this Di shop?" Meng Shisan also looked at Shangchun in surprise.Shang Chun walked to the table and gently placed the tea bowl in the tray on the table: "Miss, have you forgotten that you have received all the dowry from the late wife? There are three dowry shops in the capital. , one in the west of the city, one in the south, and one in the north. The signboards are all "Mingyue Di Shop". Not long after you took over this matter, your servant came to Taichen Courtyard. You handed these shops into your hands and asked your servant to help with the accounts. .”

Meng Shisan remembered. At that time, she was impatient to look at those account books. She couldn't even see all the shop names, so she left them all to Shangchun. At the beginning of every month, the shopkeepers came to the house to hand over the accounts and reconcile them. Shangchun also went there first. Once, and then handed it over to her.

Not long after she took over, there were only two times.

When Kite heard this, he realized that it was his own lady's shop for half a day: "If I had known it was one of my own, I would not have threatened the shopkeeper's son."

"The shopkeeper's surname is Yu at the Mingyue Di shop in Nanshu Hutong in the south of the city. I remember that shopkeeper Yu's hometown is in Baodi County. His parents are no longer here, so he brought his wife and children from his hometown to Beijing a few years ago. The family of three all live in Di. In the small courtyard behind the store." Shang Chun recalled, and also expressed his impression of the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper Yu has a simple and honest face, but is cautious by nature. When he came to reconcile the accounts at the beginning of last month, he didn't talk much, but every day Every sentence is on point.”

Kite was even more upset after hearing this. Hearing Shangchun's words, this was a very capable shopkeeper in the shop under the young lady's name, but she was offended without saying a word.

"Well, I've done everything, and there's no point in regretting it. Besides, shopkeeper Yu doesn't recognize you. He doesn't tell you the truth out of loyalty. You use his son to force him to tell the truth. You're doing things for me. Loyalty. Whether it is righteousness or loyalty, from your respective standpoints, you are both right." Seeing Kite's behavior, Meng Shisan thought of a compromise, "When we find an opportunity and you two get to know each other, you can work together again. Just apologize to the shopkeeper."

"No." Kite also felt that this was the only way.

Meng Shisan returned to the topic: "Shopkeeper Yu said that he met shopkeeper Liu in the courtyard of Didian the evening before yesterday, but he has never seen him again since then?"

"Yes." Kite answered, then expressed her intuition with a slight hesitation, "But I always feel that shopkeeper Yu is hiding something."

Meng Shisan picked up the tea bowl, took two sips of the scented tablets, and asked, "Does he know that Shopkeeper Liu never returned home after he left? He also never went to Kunzheng Pavilion?"

"I don't know." Kite shook his head.

Meng Shisan put down the tea bowl, stood up and said, "Then I'll go and ask myself."

Before leaving, he told Shang Chun: "If you have time, help me make a money bag to give to His Highness. As for the color and pattern, you can make the decision. As for what to embroider... I will embroider it myself."

At any rate, she agreed to make him a money bag, but she couldn't just make it all by Shangchun. No matter how bad she was at women's red, she could embroider some patterns on it with her own hands, and every stitch and every stitch was her heart.

Shangchun's expression was somewhat unexpected: "No!"

A purse is such a personal item, I didn’t expect it to be so natural for the young lady to mention making one as a gift to His Highness!

Although the people in the hall are all people whom the young lady can trust, the fact that they can be so upright and not avoid others shows that the relationship between the young lady and His Highness is really going very fast!
