Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 185 Critical Moments
"Lady, Su Yi has entered Uncle Yu's residence." Dan Xin whispered in Shen Xiniang's ear.

Shen Xinniang nodded, "How did you get in, did you help?"

"The people in the palace didn't move. They wanted to help her show the way, but they told her to meet the night watchman. She had an idea. She said that she was a maid in Yu Guojiu's mansion, and the night watchman sent her back. to Uncle Yu's residence." Dan Xin said with a smile in a low voice.

"That's good," Shen Xinniang lowered her eyes, "Yu Tai is a cautious and suspicious person, the less we interfere, the easier it is to win trust."

Dan Xin grinning should be.

"The weather is nice today, hurry up and pack your things." Shen Xinniang looked around and said slowly.

"Hey! Move all the things that the lady likes there? This is the screen embroidered by the fourth lady. Should I move it over or put it in the warehouse?" Speaking of packing up and moving into the main courtyard, Dan Xin immediately became excited.

"You can figure it out." Shen Xiniang's tone was casual, but there was a bit more anticipation in her black and white eyes than usual coldness.

Dan Xin giggled and directed the maids to get busy.

In the main courtyard, because of the presence of the hostess, it seemed to become vivid and lively all of a sudden.The bamboo forest seems to be greener, and the patches of yellow calamus are more vivid. The jasmine on the flower stand exudes a burst of fragrance, and the white petals are particularly delicate.

King Qi came back earlier than usual, and stood outside the gate of the main courtyard with a smile on his face.

In the small kitchen of the main courtyard, the smell of food was wafting, and his smile penetrated a little deeper into his eyes.He lifted the hem of his clothes and strode towards the main room.

The crisp sound of Yunzi pattering on the chessboard made his footsteps stop outside the door.

Suddenly, there was a feeling of being close to nostalgia, which made him hesitate to take another step.

Seeing this, the little maid at the side hesitated for a moment, but stepped forward to open the curtain, and said inwardly, "The prince is back!"

The door curtain was lifted, and the people sitting in the hall of the main room looked up.

Her fair little face, her quiet and happy complexion, seemed to have never changed, as if she had been waiting so quietly for him to come back.This is the feeling of home, no matter when you return, there is always someone waiting patiently.

Fang Yan felt a little unspeakably excited and happy. He stepped into the door, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitched upwards, "Xin'er, are you still used to living here?"

Shen Xinniang looked at him indifferently, turned her face away, and didn't speak.

I just moved here, and I haven't even spent a night, so I'm just asking if I'm used to it or not.

Fang Yan sat down opposite her, she ignored him, and he was not annoyed, the smile on his face didn't decrease at all, "Are you waiting for me to come back?"

Shen Xinniang looked down at the chess game, but still didn't speak.

Fang Yan chuckled, raised his hand to hold her hand, "I will come back as soon as possible, and I won't keep you waiting."

Every wife hopes that her husband who is busy outside can say such things, right?Even if he is busy with official duties and has a lot of entertainment, he can still think about his beautiful wife waiting at home and come back early to accompany him.

As if he was afraid that she would still not respond, he held her hand tightly and did not let go.

Shen Xinniang nodded slowly, and said softly, "Okay."

Fang Yan smiled happily, and the luxury in the room was overshadowed by it, only his smile was bright and extraordinary.

"This is the chess game my master taught me back then, can you break it?" Shen Xinniang said with downcast eyes.

Only then did Fang Yan let go of her hand, and looked down at the chess game, "Please enter the urn, please?"

Shen Xinniang raised her hand and said, "Hurry up, just wait."

When Su Yi woke up again, she saw that her hands had been bandaged, and the clothes that had an embarrassing smell on her body had been replaced with new ones. The soft fabric, delicate stitching, and bright colors made her feel heartbroken. rippling.

She propped herself up and sat up, the bed was also soft, and the quilt on her body still had a faint fragrance.She couldn't help closing her eyes and taking a deep breath, her face full of enjoyment.This is the life she longs for!The day she has been looking forward to for a long time!There was no such life in Wu Xing, not in the Shen family, not in the Feng family, and not in the Qi Palace.

Now at the Yu Mansion, he finally lived such a life!The long-awaited life!The hand that was scratched trying to break free from the rope still hurt, but she couldn't restrain her heart from venting her happiness and satisfaction.

"Miss is awake?" the maid at the door asked.

Su Yi opened her eyes and nodded, "Yes, is Uncle Guo back?"

The little servant girl stepped into the room, "The master hasn't come back yet, the butler has ordered you to go see him when you wake up."

Su Yi nodded repeatedly, turned over and got out of bed.

"Young lady's hands are inconvenient, let me help you dress!" The little maid said with a smile.

Just as Su Yi wanted to refuse, the little servant girl had already stepped forward and started to serve her deftly.

The feeling of being served by others is so good!She used to serve others, but now she has finally turned around, and someone has come to serve her!Leaving Prince Qi's mansion is indeed the wisest thing she has ever done in her life!Su Yi secretly rejoiced in her heart.

"The butler is well." Su Yi was brought in front of the butler, and quickly squatted down to salute.

The butler raised his hand and told the others to back out.

In the small hall, when only the housekeeper and Su Yi were left, the housekeeper looked at her and asked, "You said, Mother Su is dead?"

Su Yi nodded again and again, "Yes, she was beaten to death by the lady. Oh, when I escaped, she was still alive, but she couldn't hold back for long, she must be dead by now."

The butler couldn't see the emotions clearly in the dark eyes, Su Yi couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

"Which... is it Mama Su?" The butler squinted at her and asked tentatively.

Su Yi was taken aback when he heard the words, "Qi Wang Mansion, Madam Su in Mrs. Shen's courtyard? I am the housekeeper, Su Yi. When Mrs. Shen was in Wu Xing's hometown, Su Yi served by Mrs. Shen's side!"

"Oh." The housekeeper nodded clearly, looking at Su Yi with still no emotion in his eyes, "Then why don't you stay by Madam Shen's side, run out in the middle of the night, and pretend to be a maid in Yu's mansion , what is the reason?"

"Ms. Shen found out that Mama Su belonged to Uncle Guo, and tortured Mama Su severely. Madam Su confessed to me. Madam Shen wanted to torture me to death, so I escaped, but I bumped into a night watchman again. The servant girl of the palace will definitely be sent back to Mrs. Shen, then I will have no way out! Only by asking Uncle Guo for help, can I escape from Mrs. Shen’s torment!" Su Yi said pitifully, with tears in her eyes , the voice also choked up.

The butler nodded, "What do you need to tell Uncle Guo?"

Su Yi heard the words and was about to speak, but suddenly stopped and looked at the housekeeper silently.

The butler was also looking at her with eyes that she couldn't see through.

"This..." Su Yi bit her lower lip, "This matter is urgent, I need to wait for Uncle Guo to come back, and report to Uncle Guo personally to know."

The butler snorted coldly when he heard the words, "You are the master?"

Su Yi shook her head again and again, "I can't be the master, but I have to let Uncle Guo be the master."

The butler sneered, "Miss Suyi is so loud. Since the girl thinks that Guan can't be the master, why bother to keep asking to see him? Wouldn't it be better to see Uncle Guo directly?"

"Isn't Uncle Guo not back yet?" Su Yi ignored the sarcasm in the butler's words and asked directly.

The butler was taken aback, "Huh?"

"Didn't Uncle Guo go to Wu Xing? He was injured again in Wu Xing, delayed his trip, and he hasn't come back yet!" Su Yi stared at the housekeeper and asked.

The housekeeper squinted her eyes and looked her up and down, "You know it clearly?"

Su Yi acquiesced and didn't say anything, if she didn't reveal some news, how could the housekeeper believe her.Wanting to come to the news of Yu Guojiu going to Wu Xing, not many people know it, and it is impossible for non-confidantes to tell it.Uncle Yu was injured only after this trip, not many people in the family knew about it.

Seeing the housekeeper's slightly shocked expression, Su Yi felt confident in her heart. The news she overheard outside the cedar forest that day was really important news. She thought she could exchange two or three hundred strings from Mother Su with that news. Copper is the limit.

Looking at it now, does her destiny really come to an end? Mother Su is dead, she is No. 1 who holds a secret, this news, can she get a good life in the Yu Mansion, right?

Su Yi's heart was full of joy, and a smile could not help but appear on her face.

The housekeeper snorted coldly, "I hope your report will not disappoint the master."

Su Yi nodded, "Don't worry, butler!"

Yu Tai returned to Beijing seven or eight days later than Fang Yan and his party.

The past few days are probably Su Yi's most enjoyable time. She doesn't have to do any work, and there are people serving food and drink.

Eat well, dress well, live well, and no one has rolled their eyes at her.Except for the first day when the housekeeper was not too polite to her, because of her special status, no one came to make her feel uncomfortable.

The life of the past few days almost made her feel a little ecstatic.

When she heard the news of Uncle Yu's return, she came back to her senses in a daze, thinking of her important mission in the Yu Mansion.

When Su Yi was taken to see Uncle Yu, it only took half a day for him to return to the mansion.Su Yi felt a little complacent, Uncle Yu Guo didn't even take a good rest, he was busy seeing himself, did this also show that he valued himself and the news he brought?Think she will be able to live a better life in the future, right?
In Uncle Yu's house, like Dan Xin and Jin Xiang, they were flattered and flattered by the servants, no matter how old or young they were, they had to address her as "Sister Su Yi" when they saw her, and the corner door Going up, taking advantage of her in the dark, nudged the concierge on her chest with his elbow, and must give him a little shoe to wear when he finds a chance!Let him know how great it is!

Su Yi thought about it happily, until her nose hit the back of a hard wall, she suddenly regained her senses.

"Come on, butler?" Su Yi held her sore nose and looked at the butler complaining.

The housekeeper smiled sinisterly, "Miss Su Yi, I would like to remind you that in front of the master, you have to be careful when speaking."

"I know, the housekeeper doesn't have to worry about it." Su Yi said proudly as if she had seen the bright future.

The butler nodded, turned to let her go first, and entered the study.

After entering the study, Su Yi suddenly became nervous, did not dare to lift her head, bowed and stood not far from the door, glanced vaguely, and saw two people sitting and standing in the room.

The person sitting must be Uncle Guo!She squatted down to salute, her hands shaking.

"You are Su Yi, the servant girl next to Mrs. Shen?" A majestic and cold voice came from above.

Su Yi quickly responded, "Yes."

"Mama Su is dead? You escaped by chance?" There seemed to be a hint of sarcasm and suspicion in the questioning voice.

Su Yi swallowed her saliva, "Yes, I escaped by luck. The lady handed the servant girl into the hands of the execution mother. The servant girl took advantage of the time when the execution mother was going to eat, tore her hand, broke free from the rope, and knocked out the guard. The servant girl escaped from the palace through the gate of life and death. On the way, she encountered guards watching the night and was almost thrown into prison. The servant girl lied that she was a servant girl from the uncle’s mansion, so she was sent here by the soldiers!"

If Uncle Guo didn't believe that she escaped by himself, then the news she brought would certainly not be believed.Su Yi couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
