Ten Miles of Red Makeup: The Legend of Ming Yu

Chapter 572 The Vendor
It's just that the more you know, the more terrified Manager Chu becomes.

After going out a few times with the concubine Shizi, I already had two big handles in my hands.

None of them are fatal.

He always thought that the Zhennan Palace had so many conflicts because of the defeat of the Elder Lord in the battlefield, which resulted in the noble title falling into the hands of the Prince. He did not expect that these conflicts were buried decades ago.

Because of Shi Zifei's intelligence, these secrets were dug out one by one.

What he desires most now is for the lord to return to the capital. If he doesn't come back, something serious will happen.

Escorting Concubine Ming back to the Zhennan Palace, along the way, Director Chu was on tenterhooks, fearing that some hidden weapon would be shot from the dark.

When the carriage stopped in front of Zhennan Prince's Mansion, the heart in his throat fell back into his stomach.

After returning to Chenxiangxuan, Concubine Ming sat down, Xueyan poured tea for her, and asked Xi'er, "Then the young lady of the Li family, mother and child are safe?"

Xi'er beamed with joy, "The concubine is out, can mother and child be safe?"

Mother Zhou came in and asked, "Has the Crown Princess had lunch?"

"No," Xi'er shook her head.

Mother Zhou asked the little maid to go to the kitchen and order the food to be served.

I am in a good mood today, not only because I saved someone's life, but also because the problem that has troubled my concubine for a long time has been solved, and I feel happy.

As soon as I was happy, I ate half a bowl of rice.

After eating, she was about to go for a walk in the backyard. Just as she was about to get up, Haitang walked in from outside and said, "Shi Zifei, Mama Qian is here."

Concubine Ming frowned slightly. Mother Qian came to see what she was doing. She didn't want to waste her brain guessing, so she ordered directly, "Let her in."

Soon, Mother Qian came in, holding a double-sided embroidered purse in her hand, and said, "This servant is here to thank the concubine Shizi, and this servant is just a servant, so I have nothing to sell, so I embroidered a double-sided embroidered purse." There is a purse embroidered on the face, and I hope the concubine will not dislike it."

Ming concubine smiled and said, "Where is it, Mama Qian embroidered it by herself, so it is light on etiquette and affectionate."

Although she saved Mama Qian's son, what she got from Mama Qian was actually a life for another life.

Mama Qian didn't need to send any purse to express her gratitude, could it be that it was for the old lady to see?
Xi'er took the purse and handed it to Concubine Ming. Concubine Ming praised Mama Qian for her craftsmanship, Mama Qian said, "It's all right, the servant will go back."

Minnie nodded.

After walking a few steps, Mama Qian turned her head and said, "Shi Zifei should not go out of the palace to treat illnesses in the future."

Xi'er was a little confused when she said something out of nowhere. After Mama Qian left, she looked at Concubine Ming and asked, "Why does Mama Qian say that?"

It's not her business.

Ming concubine looked at the purse in her hand, and there was a gleam of coldness in her eyes.

It seems that for a rare time when she softened her heart and went out to save people's lives, those people felt that there was an opportunity and they were ready to move.

These people are really wicked!

Xi'er said, "When the lord returns to the capital, they will be the ones to look at!"

Mother Qian returned from Chenxiangxuan, the old lady looked at her sharply, and said, "What are you going to Chenxiangxuan for?"

Mother Qian's back felt cold, and she said, "My nephew's poison has been cured, I'll go thank the Shi Zifei, and send a double-sided embroidered purse to express my gratitude."

"Will she give you a double-sided embroidered purse?" The old lady said with sarcasm in her eyes.

Mother Qian said with gloomy eyes, "I know, but that's all I want."

The old lady didn't say anything, she raised her hand, and Mother Qian helped her back to the inner room to worship the Buddha.

Seeing the old lady kneeling on the futon, and Mama Qian looking at the rosewood carved Bodhisattva, a doubt arose in her heart: Will the Bodhisattva really protect the old lady?

This night, it was not Mama Qian who was on duty, but Mama Qian asked to accompany the old lady on her own initiative.

The old lady didn't say anything, she just thought she was trying to dispel her suspicions.

The next day, the old lady lost her appetite. Mother Qian remembered the cakes that the old lady liked to eat and asked the maid to buy them.

After giving the order, he said again, "Let me go, I know what the old lady likes to eat."

Everything is as usual, nothing wrong.

Mother Qian left the house with ten taels of silver, but she never came back.

Buy a pastry and come back in an hour and a half at most. Mother Qian went out not long after the morning, and the old lady didn't come back after lunch.

In the evening, Ming concubine was sitting on the swing watching the sunset, Haitang ran over and said, "Shi Zifei, something happened, Mama Qian is missing."

Ming concubine frowned, "Why did you disappear?"

Haitang shook her head, "I don't know, Mama Qian went out to help the old lady buy pastries in the morning, and she hasn't come back yet."

Xi'er said, "For such a small matter as buying cakes, do you still need Mama Qian to go in person?"

She is by the old lady's side. For such a small matter, I don't know how many maids run errands, and all the maids like this kind of work, because they can go shopping and buy some small things by the way.

Concubine Ming frowned again, and she said, "I'm afraid it's not as simple as disappearing."

"No, it couldn't be that someone killed her?" Xi'er said in fear.

Ming concubine glanced at her and said, "I escaped."

Mother Qian is a smart person, not a smart person, and it is impossible for her to live in the cracks between Mrs. Mu and Mrs. Mu for so many years and become her confidant.

As smart as Qian's mother, how could she not know what the letter she wrote by herself means?

As long as she presents the letter to the prince, the old lady will lose power, even if the old lady and the prince don't want the old lady's life, she will never end well.

Mama Qian was close to the old lady, and even sold the old lady, even if the prince spared her life because of her merits, the old lady would make her life worse than death.

It's better to die than to live. Mother Qian can escape, why doesn't she escape?
After staying in the Zhennan Palace for 30 years, she has seen many battles in the inner house, and is used to seeing high-ranking officials and dignitaries. No matter where she goes, she can live a good life.

The Zhennan Prince's Mansion will not make a big show of arresting her as a servant. As for the deed of sale, I am afraid that the one in the old lady's hand is fake, and the real deed of sale is in the hands of Mrs. Mu.

But, does Mrs. Mu dare to report to the authorities to arrest Qian's mother?
She, the old lady of the Mu Mansion, reported to the officials to arrest the servants of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, did she tell everyone that she had planted eyeliner around the old lady?

Mother Qian was sure that Mrs. Mu would not dare to do this, so she dared to run away.

Xueyan looked at Ming Concubine and said, "But Mama Qian's son is still in Mu Mansion. Mama Qian can escape, but her son can't either."

Ming concubine curled her lips into a smile, "With Mama Qian's intelligence, I'm afraid her son would have left Beijing long ago."

Mufu.

The news of Mama Qian's disappearance reached Mrs. Mu's ears.

Her face was as ugly as it needed to be. The old lady suspected that Mama Qian had an accident, but old lady Mu knew that she had escaped.

Angrily, she threw the teacup in her hand on the ground heavily, and the delicate peony-patterned teacup fell to pieces.

Mrs. Mu was not only angry, she was also flustered.

Mother Qian has not escaped for so many years, but she left at this time. She must have said something to Zhennan Wang Shizi, otherwise Zhennan Wang Shizi would not be so happy to save her son!
What a seller's savior!
There was a strong killing intent on Mrs. Mu's body.
