Ordinary observers in fast time travel

"Returning to the girl, I asked the boy in the front yard and said that the young master went out yesterday and did not come back. After that, I went to report to the madam."

The maid lowered her eyebrows and looked down upon her.

"Madam said that she is worried that you are in a hurry, so please go to the main courtyard. She also said that if there is anything else, you can talk to madam."

Shi Jia raised his eyebrows, Mrs. Xuanwuhou finally couldn't sit still?

"Yes, Miss Shi, you are a distinguished guest in the house. If you need anything, you can talk to me." Miss Six said quickly, "Although I am a soft-spoken person, after all, I am also a member of the Hou family."

"Oh~ let's go." After saying that, she took the lead to walk out of the yard.

*

"I've met Mrs. Hou." Shi Jia saluted without being humble or overbearing.

"No need to be polite, Miss Shi. It's my fault, you've been here for a few days, but I haven't taken the time to see you." Mrs. Xuanwuhou enthusiastically pulled Shi Jia to sit next to her.

"Madam, there is no need to blame yourself. You are in charge of such a large Marquis Mansion and have a lot of affairs. How can I bother you to receive it in person." Shi Jia replied lightly.

"This kid is blaming me." Mrs. Xuanwu Hou patted Shi Jia's hand lightly and said to her personal maid.

"Girl, you really can't blame Madam. The third young master has just come back. There are so many people visiting every day, and he is really busy with a lot of things." The grandma tried to smooth things over.

Shi Jia just kept smiling and quietly cooperated with their performance. It won't work if they don't cooperate. If they don't cooperate, their performance will be even more unexpected.

However, even with such an emotionless performance, there were still people who were jealous. Shi Jia felt jealous glances directed at her from all around her several times.

Shi Jia just pretended not to see it and waited quietly for the performance to end before speaking, "Mrs. Hou, is Third Young Master Zhuo out for something? When will he be back?"

Mrs. Xuanwuhou and Mammy looked at each other, and their smiles faded slightly, "My child, do you want to tell me what you want to see Saburo for?"

"It's not a big deal, it's just that he owes me money and I want to ask him when he will pay it back." Shi Jia said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Hou smiled and said, "How much do you owe? He is really inconvenienced these days, so I will pay it back for him."

"Well, I saved him several times, and I was responsible for the food along the way. These all require discounted silver." Shi Jia clapped his fingers and said, "I asked Mr. Zhuo how much his life is worth, and I gave him How much do I pay?"

"Hiss~" Mrs. Hou was stunned when she heard the words. She really didn't expect this girl to answer like this. Use money to measure her son's life? Where can I measure it?

Besides, aren't the favors from her Hou Mansion more precious than money?

"I know it's difficult for Madam to measure the price of Mr. Zhuo's life." Shi Jia smiled, "So I don't want more, just five thousand taels."

Shi Jia thought to himself that with the wealth of the Hou Mansion, this little money should be available.

"Miss Shi, are you kidding?" Mrs. Hou smiled softly.

"Does Madam think Mr. Zhuo's life is not worth five thousand taels?

Madam Hou opened her mouth slightly, wondering what she should do. You say the lion has a big mouth, it is related to the life of the third son. Five thousand taels can buy one son's life. Is there anything more cost-effective than this?

Bah, how can your son's life be measured in silver coins?

But, this guy who just wants five thousand taels from her is a bit greedy. The smile on her face faded slightly, and she raised her head and glanced at the nanny next to her.

When Mammy saw this look, she immediately understood and said indignantly, "Miss Shi, although the Hou Mansion is not short of this little silver, no one's silver comes from the strong wind. You just want five thousand taels for your empty talk. That's right." Isn’t it a bit of a lion talking too much?”

"Qifang, shut up!" Mrs. Hou looked displeased.

"Madam, even if this slave is punished today, she must speak her mind." Mammy took two steps and knelt in front of Madam Hou. "This slave has been with you every day and knows how much money you have invested in finding the third son." "If you take out these five thousand taels, how much dowry will you have to fill in them?" Mammy covered her face and cried bitterly, "Besides, , Although Miss Shi claims to be the savior of Third Young Master, but... she is a weak woman. "

Mammy took a deep breath and said, "Besides, the Third Young Master has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his martial arts are very strong. Miss Shi..."

"Shut up!" Madam Hou scolded angrily, "Come here, send Nanny Qifang back to rest."

"Yes!"

Shi Jia was dumbfounded and clicked her tongue. She had seen how the dignified princes actually used these methods.

Even if you don't believe that Zhuo Jingyu owes her five thousand taels, you still need to verify it first, right?

It was so amazing, I rehearsed the script just by looking into each other's eyes. Shi Jia felt ashamed.

"...Miss Shi?" Mrs. Hou looked apologetic and looked at Shi Jia bitterly, "It's really inappropriate to make such a joke because of the lax governance of the family."

"Miss Shi, please forgive me."

Shi Jia smiled and said nothing.

"It's getting late, so I won't leave you to eat. Go back and rest early." Mrs. Hou finished speaking and picked up the tea cup.

"Madam, please have a good rest. If the third young master comes back, please be sure to come." Shi Jia bowed to Madam Hou, turned around and walked out of the main courtyard.

“Bang——” Mrs. Hou threw the tea cup, “That’s unreasonable!”

"Madam, please don't get angry!" Aunt Qifang walked out from the back of the house, "It's better to know her true face now than to find out she is such a snobbish person only after getting married."

"Acknowledge? What qualifications does she have to become a member of my Xuanwu Hou family? Is she worthy? I asked Xiao Liu to test her earlier, thinking she was good, but who would have thought she would be so virtuous." Mrs. Hou was furious. pain.

"Go, let someone call the third young master back."

"Madam, don't, please don't." Grandma Qifang said quickly. "You know the third young master's attitude towards the person named Shi that day. What if the young master comes back and not only wants to give her money, but also insists on acknowledging her marriage?"

"It's not his turn to make the decision in the Hou Mansion." Mrs. Hou snorted coldly.

"Although the arm can't twist the thigh, it will hurt the mother-son relationship between you and the third young master. It's really not worth it for an outsider." Aunt Qifang comforted, "Besides, you finally persuaded the young master to enter the academy. If he comes out, What should I do if I don’t want to go?”

"Then tell me, what should we do now?"

"Here, I'll give her some money and send it out as soon as possible. When the third young master comes back, she will say that she is leaving on her own."

"Is she willing to leave?" Mrs. Hou didn't think that a person would choose to give up when faced with the glory and wealth at his fingertips.

Aunt Qifang hesitated for a moment, "Actually, from what I've seen, Miss Shi may not want to stay in the Hou Mansion." Otherwise, she shouldn't have mentioned the money today.

Madam Hou glanced at her and said, "Huh, that's impossible. I see that she is deliberately threatening to save her life, and I want to stay in the house for a long time. It's a beautiful idea."

"Qifang, you prepare fifty tomorrow, let's just say five hundred taels, and send it to Shi. Even if the money in the house is tight recently, I can forget about any life-saving favor and just say it is a gift for her travel expenses. "

"Yes." (End of chapter)
