Uncle Nine

Chapter 78
In the end, Xia Yu's fingerprints fell into the account book.

This means that since then, she has changed from a long-term worker to a bonded worker, and from a bonded worker to a debt slave.Sure enough, once you enter the Hou's family, it's as deep as the sea, and you can't get money, so you have to put yourself in it.

This business really lost money to the point of bleeding.

Satisfied, Zhao Shuo walked away. Xia Yu stared blankly at the red ink on her fingertips, wishing she could rush up to fight Zhao Shuo.But - she is not his opponent, not to mention that she will not be able to take advantage of it, she may have to be beaten by him -

With a sigh, the big deal is to steal the account book back.

Xing'er was indignant, "Miss, should we just let it go like this? Everyone knows about this matter, but the prince clearly favors him, and he didn't even have a word of blame. After all, miss, you are the future Prince Rui's mansion. Then No matter how powerful the kid is, he's still just a male favourite. In this way, wouldn't Miss be wronged?"

Ye Eryu stroked the bandage on the back of his hand, but did not speak.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang sighed softly, "The doctor said, fortunately, no bones were injured, otherwise it would be troublesome. Fortunately, nothing happened, otherwise I don't know how to explain to the master."

"I don't care about the injury. I just don't understand. Does the lord really treat him with deep affection? It's just a yellow-haired boy who has such a skill that the lord wants to protect him regardless of right and wrong." Ye Eryu sighed softly. , poor complexion.

Wang said distressedly, "Miss, don't give up. You're just a man, and you can't bear children for the prince, so you can't make a fortune. Now the prince is just greedy for a moment of novelty. When the freshness passes, it's still like throwing away. Among them, are there not many people like this? Miss, why don't you go to see the princess, the princess and the lady have a deep bond, if you can give the lady some advice, it will be of great help."

Ye Eryu frowned, "Princess?"

"There has been a saying since ancient times that the three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang." Mrs. Wang whispered, "It is always right to spend more time with the princess."

"What the nanny said is very true." Ye Eryu calmed down and walked slowly towards Zhao Yan's yard.

Before reaching the door, Zhao Yan's maid was heard arguing.

The big maid Lanzhu is reprimanding the young maid Yuzhu.

Lanzhu said, "Yuzhu, you are so brave, you dare to steal the princess's accessories without authorization. You should be punished for the crime. If the emperor and the empress dowager find out about this, no matter how many heads you have, you won't be able to chop it off!"

On Yuzhu's face, there were clear five-fingerprints, and she cried, "Sister Lanzhu, the slaves dare not steal the princess's ornaments. This pearl hairpin was rewarded by the princess, and the slaves really did not steal it."

Hearing this, Lan Zhu said coldly, "How dare you talk nonsense. Princess Zhuchai still carried it before going to bed, and now the princess is still resting, so how could it be a gift from the princess? If you don't tell the truth, do you want to take your hair?" Are you willing to recruit when you send it to the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment?"

Yuzhu cried and kowtowed, "Sister Lanzhu, please forgive me, this servant made a mistake, please let me go!"

Ye Eryu stepped forward slowly, "What's wrong?"

Lan Zhu saluted, "Miss Jiao Ye is laughing."

"What happened?" Ye Eryu asked.

Lanzhu replied respectfully, "This girl's hands and feet are not clean. She stole the princess's ornaments and dared to say that she gave her a reward. The slaves are teaching her. Otherwise, everyone in the palace will follow suit and break the rules. What is the prestige of the princess?"

Ye Eryu nodded, "That's the reason." He lowered his eyebrows and glanced at Yuzhu, then sighed and shook his head, "It's really stubborn, it's clear that I stole it myself, and I still deny it, so I should be severely punished."

Yuzhu kowtowed, "I dare not, I am wronged."

"What's going on?" Zhao Yan walked out of the house slowly, with a slightly lazy expression, as if she had just woken up.Her feet are gentle, her manners are gentle, her speech is elegant and decent, "How decent is it to cry like this? Get up!"

"Princess, this hairpin—" Lan Zhu offered the hairpin with both hands.

Zhao Yan sighed softly, "Yesterday, Yuzhu kept vigil for me. I thought about how hard it was for her. I gave her the pearl hairpin before going to bed today, and I didn't have time to tell you about it. Get up, Yuzhu , wronged you!"

Only then did Yuzhu kowtow to thank her, "Thank you, princess."

"Eryu, come in!" Zhao Yan turned around and went into the room.

Lanzhu returned the pearl hairpin to Yuzhu, "Princess speak up for you, I wronged you."

Yuzhu wept, "I don't dare to complain, thank you sister."

"Go down and rest!" Lanzhu went back to the house to serve.

Zhao Yan took a sip of her tea, "What happened to your hand?" She paused, "Is it because of Xia Yu?"

Ye Eryu lowered his eyes and remained silent.

Shaking her head helplessly, a trace of regret appeared on Zhao Yan's indifferent face, "Is it serious?"

"No muscle or bone injury, just some redness and swelling, need to recuperate for a few days." Ye Eryu whispered.

Zhao Yan gently held her hand, "I know you are wronged, and I have heard about it. I was not very comfortable at the time, so I couldn't make it in time. But after thinking about it, I am an outsider after all. It's a family matter between you and the emperor, so I don't want to intervene. But Eryu, you shouldn't be so impatient. You need to eat every bite, and the road needs to be walked step by step. How can it be done overnight? This is Prince Rui's mansion, not the general's mansion , nor my Kangning Palace."

Ye Eryu's eyes were red, "Princess—I'm just not reconciled, he is just a worthless person, how can he be so loved by the prince? I am the one who will spend the rest of my life with the prince."

"Since we are spending the rest of our life together, what is the purpose of this life? Why do you only look at the present?" Zhao Yan sighed softly, "Eryu, you know that I don't like those intrigues, so I can't help you, so you can do it yourself!"

Ye Eryu opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak after all.

Zhao Yan was holding the "Book of Changes", with a calm and calm expression, that calm and indifferent temperament, which made people unable to bear to be disturbed.

Wang Shi and Ye Eryu looked at each other, Ye Eryu thought for a while and said, "Why does the princess like to read the Book of Changes?"

"The Book of Changes is extensive and profound, and you can never get tired of reading it, isn't it good?" Zhao Yan said with a smile, "Heaven and earth are in harmony, the universe has its own limits, and everything has its own number. You can't ask for it, you can't complain, it's fate. In the past, King Wen was imprisoned in Yili, Then I realized the essence of heaven and earth, and it is hard to find a hexagram. I wish I could have this kind of ability, so I can save a lot of trouble."

"How can people be unpredictable?" Ye Eryu chuckled.

Zhao Yan nodded, "You can't predict the future, but you can always have one less enemy!" She looked at Ye Eryu, her eyes darkened, "It's better to be kind to others than to make enemies everywhere. We are friends in the world, where can we not be happy? Am I right?"

Ye Eryu paused, "What the princess said is absolutely true."

"It's like Yuzhu, who has always been submissive and never gets along well with others. That's why no one would believe her if something happened. If she had always been on good terms with everyone, Lan Zhu would not treat her like this." Zhao Yan Put down the Book of Changes in your hand, "If there is a cause, there must be an effect. Whether it is a good result or an evil result depends on the individual's practice."

Ye Eryu smiled, "The princess is really good."

In my heart, it was slightly different.

After leaving the house, Ye Eryu smiled coldly, "Xing'er, check how many male favorites there are in the backyard. If Wang Ye liked it, he is still a favorite now."

Xing'er nodded, "I understand."

Wang was taken aback, "Miss, what do you mean—to clear the past one by one?"

Ye Eryu shook his head, "Go prepare a small gift and send it to me. Don't miss any of them."

Hearing this, Wang Shi and Xing'er looked at each other, not knowing why.

After a while, Xing'er said, "What about Xia Yu?"

Ye Eryu stopped in his tracks, snorted coldly, and smiled sullenly, "Send it, of course you have to give it away. I also want to give the most expensive one, and it's best to send it to the prince so that everyone can see it."

"Miss, why is this?" Xing'er was stunned, "He treats you so well, why does the lady go to give him a gift. So, does it make people think that the lady is flattering him?"

"Instead of making myself the target of public criticism, it's better to push him to the forefront. I am in the same breath as those backyards, and Xia Yu will—" Ye Eryu smiled coolly, "Didn't the princess say it? To be kind to others is to Be kind to yourself. Leave a way for yourself, and point out the direction for those in the backyard, isn’t it good?”

Mrs. Wang nodded, "Miss is really smart."

Ye Eryu sneered, "At that time, everyone will believe me or not, everyone will stand by my side, and there is only one prince by his side. After a long time, I don't believe that the prince will treat him as before. Wait for me in the future , to give birth to a son and a half daughter for the prince, if there is no summer rain or no summer rain, there is only one dead end."

Xing'er was overjoyed, "Miss said yes, the servants will go get ready right away."

"But—" Xing'er hesitated again, "What is Miss planning to give him? This Palace of Prince Rui has everything, he is favored by the lord, so I am afraid that he will lack everything."

Wang frowned, "Miss, this servant has an idea."

Ye Eryu stared at her, "Let's listen."

The master and servant whispered, Ye Eryu smiled knowingly, "Nurse is still smart, let's do it!"

Wang nodded, "Yes."

After dinner, Ye Eryu's "small gifts" have been sent to all the "male favorites" in the backyard, even Shuying has a copy.Holding the heavy gift, Shuying frowned, and hurriedly entrusted a dancer in the courtyard to wait outside Yangxin Pavilion.

I just prayed in my heart, don't make any trouble.

Xia Yu was still eating, "Tonight's pork belly is so delicious, it's on par with my brother's."

Zhao Shuo put a piece of meat in her bowl, and was about to speak when he heard Li Huan's anxious footsteps outside.Feeling a little sick, hearing the footsteps, it seems that there is something urgent.

Li Huan walked in quickly, "Master, the people from Peony Garden are here to give gifts."

"What gift?" Zhao Shuo frowned.

Xia Yu bit her chopsticks, "Master, will she give herself to you?"

Zhao Shuo gave her a gouged look, "Eat yours."

Li Huan swallowed, and lowered his voice, "Grandpa, Miss Ye is not giving you a gift, but Xia Yu."

"Me?" Xia Yu's eyes widened, "Is it because I made her stupid?" After thinking about it, she asked again, "What did you get? Poisonous spiders? Poisonous scorpions? Poison for piercing intestines, white silk daggers, etc. ?”

Li Huan shook his head, "Master, do you want to take it?"

"Take it!" Xia Yu got up, "How can there be any reason to shut the door of the gift giver? Hurry up and let me see what you are giving."

Zhao Shuo frowned, forgiving Ye Eryu would not dare to hurt someone so blatantly.What's more, Ye Eryu should know where this Yangxin Pavilion is.He nodded, "Bring it in!"

"Yes!" Li Huan walked out quickly.
