The queen wants to run away every day

Chapter 458 Someone is Watching

This year's New Year's Eve, the Hefu was extremely lively, all the masters and servants gathered to celebrate the New Year, Yingyun gave them some rewards, and everyone's faces were full of smiles.

In the middle of the night, Feng Jiwen was still looking at the account book, and said to Yingyun: "Husband, I have a question, I don't know if I should say it?"

Yingyun lazily loosened her arrow sleeves and said, "You ask."

Feng Jiwen said: "The expenses in the mansion are increasing day by day. Husband, you are just an imperial guard. How can you have so much money all of a sudden? My grandfather has been an official for decades, and his savings are only in that old house. Grandfather often teaches Ji Wen, ill-gotten gains are not to be taken, I am not afraid of living in coarse cloth and sackcloth, my husband must not be greedy for ink."

Yingyun calmly listened to her finish, thinking, indeed, in the eyes of the masses, all of her money was money of unknown origin.

"Don't worry, my money came from the right place." Yingyun sighed secretly. In fact, she just got back the empress salary from the empress dowager, plus some rewards looted from the Compassionate Ning Palace. I can live a very nourishing life.

She used all the private money she had saved for more than ten years, but not half of the copper coins came from corruption.

Seeing that she was still worried, Yingyun said, "You still don't believe me?"

Feng Jiwen said: "It's not that I don't believe it, but..." She paused, and then said: "In the past two days, I often saw people sneaking around the gate of our house, and when I went out to look, she turned around and left. This morning, I deliberately squatted at the door, and I happened to be caught. "

Yingyun asked suspiciously: "You mean someone is watching us? Who is it?"

Feng Jiwen nodded and said: "It's a woman, about 50 or [-] years old. I asked her why she was sneaky, and she said that she was ordered by the lady in the palace, and she wanted to talk to your husband about how to make money. .”

Four 50-year-old women?
Yingyun suddenly became suspicious, and asked: "Since you broke her, why didn't you catch her?"

Feng Jiwen frowned, and said: "The woman looked at her wickedly, she didn't seem like a good person. At that time, there was no one in the yard, so I didn't dare to confront her. Later, I wanted to call Uncle Quan, but the woman As soon as I called for someone, I took the opportunity to run away."

Yingyun vaguely had an ominous premonition, and from Feng Jiwen's description, this person should be after her.He also has contacts with the eldest lady in the palace. Could it be that the imperial concubine is sending someone to quietly inquire about her?
What is the purpose?

Yingyun thought for a while, and said: "Since she came to look for me, there must be another time. Don't startle the snake when the time comes, and quietly let Uncle Quan arrest her."

"En." Feng Jiwen nodded.

However, the woman did not show up until after the Spring Festival.Yingyun asked Feng Jiwen to recall the woman's appearance, and drew a portrait according to what she said. Arlene and Liu Quan took a look and recognized the woman's identity.

Arlene and Liu Quan looked at each other and exclaimed in surprise, "This... this is Xi Tara's family!"

Yingyun asked puzzledly, "Who is Sitara?"

Arlene frowned slightly and said, "It's Ama's stepmother, our stepmother."

Yingyun panicked in her heart, as if she missed a beat, and said, "A Lin, didn't you say that you have severed ties with her? What is she here for?"

Arlene also frowned, and said: "Xitara is greedy for money and has a bad heart. She came here secretly, so nothing good will happen. Brother, I think you'd better not go back to your home recently, lest she see you and cause trouble."

Yingyun was worried about this, nodded and said: "I'm afraid I can avoid it for a while, but I can't avoid it forever."
