Chapter 38

"Then tell me..." The prince closed the scroll gently, and looked at Tingfeng with raised eyes, "Then do you think she will be tempted by the beauty of the virtuous king?"

"This..." Ting Feng shook his head, thinking of the matter of Dr. Jiang that he had investigated today, he immediately felt sorry for him, "My subordinates feel that a virtuous king may not be able to please him, and this Miss Xie is really not a good person. lamp."

"Is that so..." The prince's phoenix eyes raised slightly, "You are smart." After saying that, the prince's slender fingers gently opened the scroll in his hand, and continued to flip through it expressionlessly.

However, in those phoenix eyes that were so deep that they seemed to be able to see everything in the world, there seemed to be a glimmer of incomprehensible light flashing faintly.

And Ting Feng stood there, a little stunned.

Is the prince praising him for being smart or is he praising the eldest lady?

……

The next day, early in the morning, before dawn, Xie Lingqin got up to count his belongings.

Call Zihe and Tridacna, and quickly sort the gifts from the virtuous king.

Then, a little disappointed.

Things are valuable, but there are not many that can be used.

There is no way, the source of these things can be found as soon as they are put out.

Who would have believed that Prince Xian's mansion would be so poor that it could be pawned, Xie Lingqin was not in a good mood when he picked up some untraceable jasper hairpins that could be pawned aside.

However, no matter how bad it was, except for the good fabrics, all the others were rewarded to the maids in the yard.

Immediately, everyone in the courtyard was filled with joy.

Although this eldest lady has a colder temper since she woke up that day, she doesn't reprimand others very much, and she is so generous to them now.

It was so easy, Xie Lingqin bought people's hearts unknowingly.

Of course, it's not just money, it's just an inducement, but through these, let them reflect that it's actually very easy to act in the eldest lady's yard these few days.

Because, the eldest lady never demands too much from them, let alone get angry with them at any time.

Xie Lingqin gave them this kind of invisible respect they had never experienced.

"Miss, actually, you don't need to be like this..." Zihe looked at Xie Lingqin's action of retracting her hairpin and sleeves, sighed, and said softly, "In a few days, the money will be distributed."

It means that you will have money immediately, and there is no need to pawn these.

"Poor." Xie Lingqin only uttered one word.

"Then, servant girl, give you all this month's routine money."

"Oh." Xie Lingqin patted her on the shoulder suddenly, and gave her a look full of deep meaning, "I'm sorry, but let me just say that your regular money for this month, including the money for the past six months, is not yours anymore. "

"This?"

"Those pastries yesterday..." Xie Lingqin helped Zihe retrieve his memory.

Zihe opened his mouth wide, unable to speak out.

"OK then."

"Don't worry, I will repay you twice in the future." Xie Lingqin promised again.

Zihe believed it, but didn't quite believe it.

Of course, the matter of Xie Lingqin wantonly distributing the gifts from the virtuous king to the servants in the yard was blown into the ears of Second Aunt in an instant.

The second aunt's heart hurts, she's so isolated, and secretly cursed that Xie Lingqin is an idiot, she's afraid that she's doing this to win people's hearts.

And Xie Danling obeyed his father's order, and was going back to the academy today, when he walked to the door, he also heard the news, and his pretty brows were tightly knit together.

"No brains, no cure." Secretly spat, his face was full of disgust.

"Son, what did you say?" Miaoqiao asked in doubt.

Xie Dan took a look at her and shook his head, "It's okay, I'm going to the academy now, and I won't be back until the middle of the month, you should take care of the yard."

Miao Qiaofu saluted and replied softly, "Young master, don't worry."

At this time, Xie Lingqin thought that the wind and cold was good, and he wanted to rest. Seeing that the door was closed, in fact, he had already left the mansion secretly. He was going to turn the corner of the street, but he looked at Xie Dan Ling was at the gate of the mansion, so he stopped and looked at it.

Naturally, I also saw and heard his disgust and spurn towards her, as well as the shy, seemingly duty-bound Miao Qiao who actually wanted to get close to her master.

The daughter of the dead mother Liu.

It wasn't until Xie Dan got into the carriage and the door closed that Xie Lingqin turned around.

Dressed up as an unremarkable maid, and wandering from the street to the end of the street, while worrying about it, I also heard some news by the way.

In a few days, Miss Nine of Anping Hou's Mansion will be ten years old, and she wants to congratulate her.

The century-old family of Anping Hou Mansion has been deeply favored by the emperor and has been inherited from generation to generation. In addition, Mrs. Anping Hou will give birth to one daughter and two sons, and the eldest daughter is a concubine in the palace. ...

I heard that, not long ago, the Eldest Young Master became a servant in the Ministry of War, which is even more icing on the cake.

It can also be regarded as the most worthy object in Mandu City.

Speaking of which, the second son of the Marquis of Anping...

Xie Lingqin frowned, turned around and went to the firecracker shop to buy something, then walked to the medicine shop from the previous day.

It is agreed to come to get that herbal medicine today.

If you don't enter the tiger's lair, you won the tiger.

"Miss, you're here." As soon as she entered, the shopkeeper the day before yesterday greeted her with warmth and gentleness, but she seemed to be normal.

Xie Lingqin stepped forward, "Shopkeeper, I'll get the medicine."

"Miss, follow me to the back hall. The medicine has just arrived, and it hasn't been sorted yet." The shopkeeper said with a smile, walked out from the counter, and led Xie Lingqin through the curtain to the back hall.

Xie Lingqin looked innocent, nodded and followed.

As soon as he entered the back hall, a cold dagger was placed on Xie Lingqin's neck, and the shopkeeper, who was still smiling gently just now, tightened the dagger in his hand, with a cold and murderous look on his face, "Girl, tell me, yes?" Who sent you to fetch this medicine? Where was the person we sent to follow you that day?"

Xie Lingqin didn't move at all, and looked at the shopkeeper calmly, "Shopkeeper, didn't your mother teach you to ask questions one by one?"

The shopkeeper was stunned, and at this moment, without knowing how Xie Lingqin would move, the dagger in the shopkeeper's hand moved away.

The situation was reversed, Xie Lingqin held the dagger straight to the waist of the fat shopkeeper, "Say, who is controlling this medicine?"

The fat shopkeeper didn't seem to expect Xie Lingqin to be so good at martial arts, and when a look of surprise flashed across his face, he wasn't afraid, on the contrary, he was full of viciousness.

"Hmph, come here, do you still want to escape?"

"Huh—"

In the next moment, there was a gust of sword wind, and a dozen people appeared across the sky, surrounding Xie Lingqin.
