Chapter 8 How to Repay You

At the same time, outside the gate of the house outside Yong'an Lane.

Pei Ji was sitting in the sedan chair, he slightly opened the curtain with his hands, and looked through the window at the closed door of the mansion opposite.

Seeing this, Li Yi sighed: "My lord, why don't you go in and have a look?"

Pei Ji paused, but lowered the curtain.

"Let's go."

Li Yi shook his head helplessly, Mr. Shoufu came every day these few days, but every time he just stayed outside the gate for an hour.

They were all hopeless, but they still refused to go in.

On the second day, Rong Qiao, the little girl who had been taking care of Wei Yunzhu, said that some gray charcoal had been brought into the house and went to the backyard to get it.

Rong Qiao is a thin little girl who is always bullied by other maids in this mansion. Wei Yunzhu saw her and asked her to come and take care of her.

But after half an hour, she still didn't come back. Wei Yunzhu was a little worried, so she wanted to go and see for herself.

In the distance, in front of the woodshed in the backyard, three or four maids were punching and kicking Rong Qiao, but Rong Qiao didn't fight back because she was holding something in her arms.

Wei Yunzhu immediately rushed over and pushed the maids away: "What are you doing!"

There was a fat maid who was almost pushed and fell down. She didn't expect that this woman usually looked weak, but she didn't expect to have such vigor.

Then he said viciously: "This girl came to the backyard to steal gray charcoal, shouldn't she be taught a lesson?"

Wei Yunzhu helped Rong Qiao up, and protected her in his arms: "If you dare to be presumptuous again today, I will not spare you!"

The maid sneered again and again: "You won't spare me? Who do you think you are!"

Wei Yunzhu stared at her with a pair of resolute eyes, as if with infinite majesty: "Then you can try it and see how it turns out."

The maid seemed to be intimidated by these words, she paused for a moment, if this woman really got the chance, she would complain to Lord Shoufu later, wouldn't she be finished.

Thinking of this, she waved unnaturally: "It's just a few gray carbons, let's go!"

Seeing that the maids had left, Wei Yunzhu asked the little girl in his arms with concern: "Rong Qiao, are you okay?"

Rong Qiao was beaten to the brink of death, but she still loosened her arms and spread her hands: "Girl, with this charcoal, it won't be cold..."

After she finished speaking, she passed out. Wei Yunzhu looked at the ashes, her eyes were sour.

After Rong Qiao settled down, Nian Shuang invited the doctor again.

But the doctor saw Rong Qiao's situation, but shook his head: "This girl is weak, I'm afraid..."

Wei Yunzhu immediately said: "Sir, please save her!"

The doctor pondered for a moment: "If there is a century-old ginseng, maybe she can survive this catastrophe."

In the past, Pei Ji brought a lot of precious medicinal materials to heal himself, but these days, those maids and wives took everything they could.

Thinking of this, Wei Yunzhu said: "Nian Shuang, let's go to the pharmacy to buy it now."

Before going out, Mother Zhao saw the anxious look of the master and servant, rolled her eyes, and followed her out.

When he arrived at the pharmacy, Wei Yunzhu said to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, is there any ginseng?"

The shopkeeper stopped moving the abacus, raised his eyes, glanced at Wei Yunzhu, and suddenly became very enthusiastic: "Girl, how old ginseng do you want?"

"Hundred years." The doctor said just now, Rong Qiao's situation is dangerous, this ginseng is at least a hundred years old.

After the shopkeeper heard about it, he smiled happily: "That's great! The century-old ginseng, the young one must be a good one for the girl, then your 100 taels, is it cash or bank notes?"

Wei Yunzhu was a little surprised: "100 taels?"

She was in the palace since she was a child, so she didn't know how much money something was worth, so she was naturally surprised.

The shopkeeper looked at the girl in front of him, she was extraordinarily expensive, and her demeanor was even more refined. I guessed which family this lady was from, could it be that I was mistaken?

Immediately pulled his face: "Girl, do you want it? If not, don't block the people behind."

Wei Yunzhu secretly touched the purse at her waist. She didn't have 100 taels, but she still responded, "Yes."

Then she reached out and took off a hairpin: "Shopkeeper, do you think this is enough?"

The quality is good, after the shopkeeper saw it, he took out a ginseng from the drawer under his body and put it on the face.

Wei Yunzhu immediately rushed back with ginseng, but because he was too anxious, he bumped into someone at the door.

"Sorry." Just as she raised her head, she realized that it was Mrs. Gu.

Mrs. Gu's expression was still contemptuous, she didn't pay much attention to her, and went in.

But she suddenly touched her waist, and suddenly shouted: "Why is my jade pendant gone?"

Then she snapped at Wei Yunzhu: "Did you two steal my jade pendant?"

As soon as these words came out, many people looked lively.

Everyone looked at this noble girl and couldn't believe that she could steal jade pendants?

Seeing this, Wei Yunzhu could only say: "Madam, I don't know your jade pendant."

At this time, the woman beside Mrs. Gu said, "You were the one who deliberately bumped into Mrs. Gu just now, so who is it if you didn't take the jade pendant?"

Wei Yunzhu never expected that Madam Zhao would be beside Mrs. Gu.

Nian Shuang stepped forward quite angrily: "You speak without proof, don't spit blood!"

Wei Yunzhu took a step forward, her voice was gentle but not cowardly: "Nurse, you have to be careful with what you say, there is no proof, how can you ruin my reputation as an innocent girl."

Zhao Nanny sneered: "Without proof? Well, if you dare, ask me to search you!"

Wei Yunzhu was naturally not afraid, but just as he was about to respond, he suddenly touched something cold on his waist, which was not his own.

She suddenly realized that she had been tricked, but when Zhao Momo saw that she was silent, she intensified: "What's the matter, now I know I'm afraid?"

"I'm going to take good care of you, a girl with dirty hands and feet today!"

After finishing speaking, she stepped forward and rolled up her sleeves to search her body. Nian Shuang stood aside to stop her, but she was pushed to the ground by Nanny Zhao.

During the fight, Wei Yunzhu handed the ginseng to Nian Shuang: "Nian Shuang, save Rong Qiao first."

Sure enough, Mother Zhao pulled out a jade pendant from Wei Yunzhu's body as she wished, "Ma'am, take a look, is this the jade pendant you lost?"

Mrs. Gu looked at the jade pendant, and immediately said with a serious face: "It is indeed this jade pendant."

This time, everyone looked at Wei Yunzhu with disdain, why did this nice little girl do such a thing?
Wei Yunzhu struggled to break free from the maid who was restraining her, and said loudly, "Mama found this jade pendant on me, so she concluded that I stole it, so I can also conclude that you deliberately planted it."

Mrs. Gu opened her mouth at this moment: "What a glib girl, my majestic Mrs. Tai Tuo, wouldn't it be suicidal to insult someone like you?"

What he said was very reasonable, and everyone agreed that it was indeed the girl's hands and feet that were not clean.

At this moment, Mother Zhao said with a vicious expression: "This jade pendant is very beautiful, it is a gift from the empress, and now that something like this has happened, I'm afraid the only way to solve it is to sell you girl to Hualou. "

This is her real purpose.

She followed Wei Yunzhu to the pharmacy, but met Mrs. Gu at the door.

Mrs. Gu had always held grudges about what happened at Qiling Temple last time, so Madam Zhao added embellishments and said that Wei Yunzhu had completely fallen out of favor, so she agreed with Madam Zhao's plan with confidence.

As soon as the words were finished, a maid wanted to drag him away. Wei Yunzhu had no choice but to shout defensively: "If you dare to touch me today, Lord Shoufu will not let any of you go."

When Mother Zhao heard this, she paused for a moment, then laughed loudly, blushing: "Do you think Mr. Shoufu will still care about you?"

"When I sell you into Hualou, you won't dare to bluff with me anymore."

"take away!"

Wei Yunzhu's heart was beating violently, and her palms were sweating. Madam Zhao was trying to push herself to a dead end!
"Hold on."

A gloomy voice came, and countless guards rushed into the pharmacy, and the crowd who watched the excitement dispersed like birds and beasts.

Pei Ji came at a leisurely pace, with a gloomy expression, everyone saw that he had just touched the little girl on the ground, and they gently helped her up.

He untied his cloak, carefully wrapped that delicate body tightly, and even carefully helped her straighten the veiled cap.

Mother Zhao was so frightened that her legs became weak and she knelt down on the ground, trembling with her head down. It seemed that this girl hadn't fallen out of favor at all!

Seeing this situation, Mrs. Gu was also quite frightened, but she still pretended to be calm.

Pei Ji held the little girl in his arms, looked up at the old lady and Mrs. Gu, and said casually, "Where did you just say you were going to send her?"

Zhao Momo walked up to Pei Ji on her knees, and said in a panic, "My lord, this old servant was confused for a while! Your lord has a lot of people, so I will spare this old slave this time..."

Before she finished speaking, Pei Ji raised her hand impatiently, her eyes narrowed in a dangerous arc: "Noisy thing, come here, pull out her tongue, and then throw it into the river to feed the fish."

When Zhao Momo heard this, she immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Master Chief Assistant, please forgive me!"

Mrs. Gu looked at Zhao Nanny who was being dragged away, and she was also shocked, but suddenly found that Pei Ji's eyes had fallen on her.

She trembled subconsciously, and reluctantly said: "Master Shoufu, why do you have time to come here today?"

Pei Ji glanced at the jade pendant in Mrs. Gu's hand in a leisurely manner, with an expression of joy and anger: "Li Yi, bring that jade pendant and let me see how fine it is."

Li Yi has always relied on the power of Lord Shoufu, stepped forward and took away the jade pendant without saying a word, and handed it to his lord.

Mrs. Gu was a little stunned: "Pei Ji, what do you mean!"

Pei Ji played with the jade pendant, then threw it on the ground with a bang, with a dull expression: "It's a broken thing."

"How should I repay you, Mrs. Gu."

Mrs. Gu's hands trembled in anger, this person is too rampant!

Pei Ji was holding the little girl's hand at this moment, but found that there was a bruise on her wrist, and her eyes, which were careless just now, were like a gust of wind and rain in an instant.

"In that case, I will sell you to Hualou as well."

This was said to Mrs. Gu, and Mrs. Gu was also taken aback: "Pei Ji, you are presumptuous!"

But Pei Ji's eyes became more and more dangerous: "It's too boring to sell Hualou, and you can still live. Mrs. Gu is more suitable for a big prison."

The next moment, he signaled the guards to go up and grab someone. Only now did Mrs. Gu realize that he was not bluffing!

When Mrs. Gu was taken away, she was still cursing: "Pei Ji! My Gu family and Huang family will never let you go!"
