Chapter 104 Seeking Justice in the Dining Hall
Luo Shuiyao naturally didn't know what was in his mind, so she hurried back to Chunhua Courtyard.
Nanny Zhang, Dujuan and others had been waiting at the door for a long time, and they went to greet her when they saw her come back.
"Miss, why did you come back just now? We were so worried." Dujuan walked up to her and supported her arm and said.
Luo Shuiyao laughed and invited everyone inside: "Why are you worried about me? Nothing will happen in my own mansion. It's just that Fangfei Garden is too busy today, so I'm a little late."
After returning to the room and sitting down, she drank a sip of the hot tea Chuntao brought her, and she felt relaxed all over. Then she called a few people forward and asked about the arrangements for the day.
When Chun Xing came to ask her a question, she hurried forward and bowed, saying, "I have delivered the letter to Manager Fang as you instructed. After Manager Fang read the letter, she said she knew what was going on and ordered me to return."
Luo Shuiyao nodded, motioned her to stand aside, and then turned her gaze to Zhuangzi and Chuntao.
Zhuangzi noticed Luo Shuiyao's gaze and immediately stepped forward, saying respectfully, "Miss, Chuntao and I went to Yang Weiwu Hall first and asked the director to go to the pawnshop with us. The pawnshop owner evaluated the jewelry and quoted a price of three thousand taels of silver. The director was a little worried, so he went out to inquire and, after confirming that the price was reasonable, he pawned all the jewelry."
Luo Shuiyao nodded slightly, relatively satisfied with Zhuangzi's answer. She estimated the price to be around three thousand taels, so she continued, "Has anyone noticed your whereabouts?"
Zhuangzi quickly bowed and replied, "Don't worry, young lady. Chuntao and I have been extremely cautious along the way, keeping a close eye on our surroundings. No one has discovered our whereabouts."
After hearing this, Luo Shuiyao looked more relaxed.
She was just starting out, powerless and unable to compete with others. She had already offended Liu Xiangdong and Liu Yanyan, two people who could easily disrupt all her plans. To avoid further trouble, she had to be cautious.
Luo Shuiyao then turned her gaze to Aunt Zhang, who was waiting quietly at the side. "Aunt Zhang, have you arranged for a doctor to see Wang Gousheng's sister?"
Nanny Zhang nodded and replied, "Don't worry, young lady. I sent my useless grandson to see Doctor Hua this evening. He told me that the prince's sister is just born with a weak constitution. She only needs some medicine to take good care of herself. After a few days, her health will gradually improve."
Luo Shuiyao nodded slightly, feeling a little relieved.
She had always been quite confident in Aunt Zhang's ability to handle matters. Now that the affairs of Wang Gousheng and his sister had been settled, she could finally put one of her worries to rest and focus on other matters.
After thinking for a moment, Luo Shuiyao said to Aunt Zhang, "Tell Zhao Cheng to ask Wang Gousheng. If he's willing, the two of them can go to Yang Weiwu Hall, the innermost of Guihua Lane, and learn martial arts every day when they have time. It will be very useful in the future."
"Also, when there are things in the mansion that are inconvenient for us to handle, I can summon them. They will do things for me, and naturally they will also get benefits."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhang happily stepped forward and bowed, "Thank you, Miss. I will let my grandson serve you well."
She now feels that she has finally gotten what she wanted. The Marquis' Mansion is short of staff, and her grandson has no other good future except being an ordinary servant. Now that he is valued by the young lady and can do things for her, he will definitely be better off in the future.
After getting to know her over the past few days, she felt that her young lady was no simple person.
After the explanation was completed, Luo Shuiyao called Dujuan again, "Dujuan, give all the jewelry you brought back today to Chuntao. Tomorrow, have Chuntao and Xiaozhuang take another opportunity to go out, just like today, and pawn all the jewelry and give the money to Shopkeeper Fang."
She said the last sentence while looking at Zhuangzi and the other two.
Zhuangzi and Chuntao exchanged a glance, then quickly bowed and said, "Don't worry, Miss. We will definitely take care of this matter tomorrow."
Du Juan also bowed and said, "Miss, I will do it right away."
Luo Shuiyao nodded slightly and wanted to wave her hand to let them leave, but suddenly she remembered something and called Chuntao.
"Chun Tao, when you come back from your work, remember to buy some wild peaches."
Chuntao looked at her young lady with a puzzled expression, a feeling of doubt rising within her. The Marquis's residence always had juicy, tender peaches, including flat peaches and honey peaches, which the kitchen would wash and cut for her. Yet, why had the young lady asked for small, astringent, and hairy mountain peaches today? She had no idea.
But Chun Tao did not dare to ask more questions, but just kept these questions in her heart and replied respectfully: "Yes, Miss."
Then several people retreated.
After they left, Luo Shuiyao washed up and lay comfortably on the bed. Perhaps because she was tired today, she slept particularly soundly tonight.
…………
The next morning, after washing up, Luo Shuiyao arranged for several people in the courtyard to do the things she had instructed yesterday. Then, she walked alone towards the dining hall.
Unexpectedly, not long after he walked out of the yard, he saw Ye Yunzhou standing in front of him.
Luo Shuiyao moved slightly, originally wanting to avoid Ye Yunzhou, but she saw Ye Yunzhou turned around and called out to her. "Let's go, let's go to the dining hall together."
Luo Shuiyao was a little surprised. Seeing this, she couldn't help but wonder, is Ye Yunzhou waiting for her? Thinking of this, she asked directly.
Ye Yunzhou was slightly startled when he heard her question, then he slowly said: "You and I are going the same way, so let's go together."
When saying this, Ye Yunzhou's face was still cold, but there was a hint of softness in his words.
Luo Shuiyao nodded slightly, and then the two of them walked towards the dining hall together. Along the way, neither of them spoke again.
Luo Shuiyao didn't know what to say. She couldn't get close to him like before. If he misunderstood that she was interested in him, then she would be doomed. So all the way, Luo Shuiyao could only remain silent.
Ye Yunzhou seemed to be thinking about something and didn't say anything.
The atmosphere was somewhat dull, with only the sound of light footsteps echoing in the air. The two walked forward in silence until they reached the dining hall.
Before she even entered the dining hall, Luo Shuiyao heard Lu Zhaozhao's voice. She paused for a moment, then quickly and calmly walked inside.
Ye Yunzhou noticed her slight pause, looked into the dining hall, and frowned.
The Marquis' wife had not been able to rest well at night because of what happened yesterday. After she returned to the yard yesterday, she told the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery everything.
The loyal and brave marquis just listened silently. It was his wife who brought Lu Zhaozhao in. As a man, he didn't say much, but just comforted her, saying that the little girl was still young and didn't understand.
But he was also quite unhappy in his heart. This little girl had only been in the Marquis' Mansion for a short time, but she had caused so many troubles.
