Chapter 40

"Because there is someone I don't want to see up ahead!" The woman standing at the entrance of the Fulai Inn and looking around is the mother Zhao who is beside the old lady of the Qi mansion. In Qi Rongyue's memory, this mother Zhao is not easy to deal with. For the role, what he is best at is one thing on the surface and another thing behind the scenes.

Mother Zhao's appearance at the Fulai Inn was naturally ordered by the old lady of the Qi family. It is inconvenient for Qi Yongchun to show up, and the Liang family must be unwilling, so this matter must be done by the old lady, which is justified and natural.

Heh——they were really well-planned, but it's a pity that she is no longer the Qi Rongyue she used to be, and she will never be the young lady of the Qi family again!

Being expelled from the house was exactly what she wanted, so as not to be trapped in her boudoir and make it difficult for her to do things with her hands tied.

The two went upstairs through the back door, even the shopkeeper in the front hall didn't know about it, and Qi Rongyue even told Xiaoer not to talk too much, just pretend she didn't see her.

Xiao Er got the benefits of Miss Qi, so naturally she wouldn't talk too much, just as if Miss Qi hadn't come back at all.

Zhao's mother waited until dark and didn't see the eldest lady come back, so she asked the shopkeeper with a calm face: "Shopkeeper, why hasn't my eldest lady come back?"

The shopkeeper also smiled wryly: "I've been sitting in this inn just like you without taking a step. How would I know why Miss Qi hasn't come back yet? If you're really in a hurry, you can go to Mr. Zheng's house. In the morning, the housekeeper of Mr. Zheng's house personally picked up Miss Qi."

Zhao's mother hurriedly asked: "Master Zheng sent a housekeeper to pick up my lady personally? What are you doing?"

The shopkeeper said: "I heard that it is a cure. I heard that your lady's medical skills are very good."

Mother Zhao couldn't help snorting: "Nonsense, my lady is in her boudoir, when did she learn medical skills? How can she go to see a doctor? Didn't you lie to me?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly waved his hands: "Oh, I don't dare to do that. Whether it's the Zheng family or your Qi family, it's not me, a little old man who dares to offend, so how dare you say half a lie."

Zhao's mother saw that he didn't seem to be lying, so she held back her arrogance and said, "My lady came back so late before?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, I went out before, and I will definitely come back before dark. I must have delayed time in Zheng's mansion today, and it is cold and snowy. I might be left by Mrs. Zheng to rest in Zheng's mansion." One night is also possible!"

Mother Zhao thought that there was indeed such a possibility, so she simply bid farewell to the shopkeeper and returned to the Qi Mansion to report her orders.

When Ms. Zhao returned to Qi Mansion, the master was still in Fushou Residence. Seeing Ms. Zhao's return, she hurriedly got up and asked, "Did you take it back?"

Zhao's mother shook her head: "Go back to the master, the lady did not return to the inn today, and the servant did not see the lady."

Qi Yongchun's complexion changed slightly: "What? Didn't go back to the inn? Then where does she live?"

Mother Zhao said: "I heard from the shopkeeper of the inn that the young lady was picked up by the Zheng family's carriage early in the morning, saying that she was going to Zheng's mansion to look after injuries for the prince. The shopkeeper also heard that the young lady has good medical skills, and I don't know who passed it on. rumors."

Old Mrs. Qi slapped the table next to her, and said angrily: "It's ridiculous, what kind of medical skills does she know? Living in the Zheng family's mansion, she obviously has other plans. Could it be that she still wants to get married to Prince Zheng?" This high branch is not successful? He didn’t return home at night, if this gets out, where will my old face be put?”
