Looking at his worried look, I hesitated a little. It was neither easy to say yes nor no. After thinking for a while, I still said softly: "Everything has a way, but it depends on God's will. Do your best."

He looked at me, was silent for a moment, and nodded gently.

Then, he turned and left.

I stood at the door and watched his back disappear in front of me. A gust of cold wind blew, and a bone-broken cold also attacked my body through my clothes. I don’t know where this matter will develop, but the faint warmth in my heart made me want to try it for them twice.

There shouldn't be only sad people in this world.

At this time, Caiwei walked behind her and she said softly: "Madam, it's very windy at the door. Don't catch a cold, go back quickly."

I nodded and turned around and walked with her. Lao Zhu closed the yard gate behind. After walking for a while, I said to Caiwei, "I will go out tomorrow."

"Ah? Where is the lady going? I'll tell the driver that he will prepare tomorrow."

"Okay, you let him get ready tomorrow morning."

"Then I'll—"

"You don't have to go."

"Why?"

"You forgot that the maids and servants will come to the door tomorrow. I will leave this matter to you, and you will stay at home and handle their affairs well. You must think clearly in advance how to arrange what they want to do."

She looked at me: "Madam, don't you ask me personally?"

"Since I've given this matter to you, you will naturally be asking about it."

“…”

She didn't say anything, but felt the hands holding me slightly use some strength. I turned my head and looked at her, and saw that her eyes kept flashing, just like Yun Xiang who took over the embroidery workshop back then, she was half worried, but she was also full of excitement.

I smiled faintly.

One night passed.

That night, I slept as peacefully as the first night I came here. My mind kept churning with the faces of Wu Yanqiu and Yang Jinyao, and the entangled things between them. Although I comforted Wu Yanqiu that there is always a way to solve the things in this world, I cannot be sure whether we can find a proper solution until now.

All I can say is that I will do my best.

I tossed and turned until late at night and fell asleep very late. Fortunately, I was in good spirits when I woke up the next morning. That night, I didn’t hear the ghost crying that Lao Zhu said, and even Caiwei didn’t hear it.

Because she had a "big thing" to do today, she got up early to wear it. When I got up, I had all the hot water towels and prepared them all. After washing, I used breakfast again. I told her a few words and then walked out alone. When I left the door, Lao Zhu asked me a few questions with concern. After all, there was no girl with her side by her, so it was not convenient to go out like this. But the coachman Lao Xia promised him that he would take me intact and take me back intact, and the old man was relieved.

After I got on the carriage, I gently waved my hand at Lao Zhu at the window and told him to close the door quickly. He stood on the threshold and kept watching us leave, then he retreated.

I think this old man has been staying in this deserted house, and his relatives have left again. He is somewhat lonely. He finally came to us. Of course, he hopes that we can stay for a long time. Even if we accompany him, he will accompany us so that our lives can be less lonely.

But I don’t know how long it takes to stay in this bustling capital.

I sat by the window and looked at the traffic outside. Early in the morning, the city seemed to have completely awakened. There were breakfast stalls lined up on the streets, and various breakfasts exuded an attractive aroma - steamed buns, fresh fried doughs, steaming Hula soup, and people's nose and mouth always wake up earlier than their hearts.

Food and sex are also.

I couldn't help but smile and said, "It's so fragrant here."

While driving the car, Lao Xia turned around and smiled, "Miss, this is the famous Greedy Street in the capital. All the delicious foods from south to north are gathered here. It's not bragging, even in the palace, the emperor may not be able to eat the more flavors here."

I laughed.

Ordinary people must think that the emperor's meal must be delicacies, dragon liver and phoenix marrow. In short, all the treasures in the world must be placed in front of him. But in fact, there are indeed a lot of food in the imperial kitchen. Even if the rats are better than ordinary people, the emperor cannot eat everything. In order to prevent people from assassinating and poisoning the food, the emperor cannot have a preference for the meal, and they cannot eat more of what they like, and they cannot eat less of what they hate. Every time, the eunuch who cooks some of them from each dish, and after tasting them, they will give them to him. There are not many people who actually eat them. To be honest, it is not as easy as the people who sit on the bench and drink bean juice on the street.

So, I echoed, "Yes, how good the things here are."

Lao Xia smiled and said, "Miss, you can eat breakfast. If you don't eat well, you can use a bowl here if you don't. Lao Xia knows best that there is a one selling wontons there, and the taste is the best."

I smiled and said, "No need. I ate a lot of breakfast and I'm still suffocating. Moreover, the important thing is important."

"Oh, that's right, that's right."

As Lao Xia said, he shook the reins in his hand and drove the horse a few steps faster. After passing this lively street market, the road ahead became slightly spacious and smoother, and we were faster. After a while, we saw the familiar scenery.

Lao Xia finally seemed to be unable to hold back and turned around and asked in a low voice: "Miss, what's the matter going to come back?"

I didn't say anything, but just raised my head and looked at the Yang Mansion that was getting closer and closer in front of me. The carriage stopped at the gate. After Lao Xia helped me get out of the car, he immediately went over to knock on the door. The doorman was still familiar with him and hurried over to answer the door. When he saw me, he was stunned: "Miss Yan, are you doing this? Is there anything wrong?"

I smiled and said, "Be arrogant, I'll come to find your eldest lady."

"Miss?" The concierge was stunned and turned to the other servant who came to watch the fun: "Miss seems to have gone out early in the morning, right?"

The attendant nodded: "I also seem to have heard from someone."

I laughed in silence - the doorman was guarding the door, why did Yang Jinyao go out? He would ask others? Maybe when he saw my smile, the doorman also smiled and said, "Ms. Yan, don't blame me. The lady has been staying in the mansion these days. She often runs out and doesn't go through the main entrance. Her own car is waiting for the side door. We often don't know, so she has left."

"oh?"

I couldn't help but frown.

"When will she come back?"

"It's hard to say that. Sometimes I come back soon, and sometimes I don't come back in the middle of the night."

"So late?"

"yes."

“…”

If an ordinary lady had gone out early and returned late, she would have been locked in the boudoir by her parents and refused to go out. But Yang Jinqiao's status in the Yang family was really strange. It seemed that Yang Wanyun felt guilty about her because of forcibly sending her to Shangyang Palace back then, so she was particularly generous. Moreover, she was not actually a lady in the boudoir, so of course she was even harder to care about.

But if I do this, I will be out of here today.

The concierge asked attentively: "Miss Yan, why don't you go into the mansion and sit there? I'm afraid that the lady will come back in a while, and it may not be possible."

I thought about it and shook my head: "Forget it, I'm afraid there are too many things in your house, so I won't go in and disturb you. I'll come over later."

"That's fine, Miss Yan walks slowly."

I turned around and went down the steps, Lao Xia helped me into the car, and asked, "Then, Miss, where are we going this time?"

I smiled and said, "Since I have time, then go to the wonton stall you mentioned and try it out."

When Lao Xia heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately climbed into the car and raised his whip: "Let's go!"

|

Because Yang Jinqiao was not at home, I thought it was empty on this day, so I really followed Lao Xia to stroll on the street and went to the wonton stall he was familiar with to eat wontons. Sure enough, the filling was big and thin, the meat was beautiful and the soup was fresh, and even the vinegar and chopped green onions were just right. I ate half a bowl, got on the bus with my round belly, and asked Lao Xia to drive the bus around the capital to see the scenery, and to be familiar with this city that I had been away for a long time.

In the afternoon, winter in the capital was always dark early. As dusk approached, I urged Lao Xia: "Go to Yang's house again to ask."

"Okay."

While driving the car to Yang's mansion, Lao Xia turned around and said to me in a flash: "Actually, Miss Jin Qiao was like this in the Yang's mansion in the past. The master and wife couldn't care much about her."

I said in confusion: "But, what do she do when she goes out like this every day?"

What surprised me was that after I asked this question, Lao Xia did not answer the conversation immediately, but fell silent.

I subconsciously felt something, and I lifted the curtain and looked at his back.

A gust of cold wind blew over, which made him and I tremble slightly. I felt Lao Xia's shoulders twitch, as if he was hesitating. After a while, he whispered: "I just talk about this now, Miss, don't spread it."

"Yeah, you said."

"Actually, Miss Jin Qiao also has her own business outside and is not bad."

"oh……"

I raised an eyebrow.

"How did you know?"

"In the past, Miss Jin Qiao was like this. She ran out every day, and the people at home were somewhat suspicious. Later, I heard my family say that she met Miss Jin Qiao outside and talked about business, saying that she had a lot of business outside. Even after arriving in Shangyang Palace, she just asked someone to take charge of her for a while, but she didn't throw them all away."

"Yeah?"

"Well, so this time, when she comes back, I guess Miss Jin Qiao must be going to do her business again."

So that's it.

No wonder, after Yang Yunhui's death, Yang Jinqiao had already left the Yang family and had no relationship with Pei Yuanhao, but he could support so many people around him. When I met her in Jiangnan, she had at least one militia under her. It turned out that she was good at managing it herself.

It is true that people should not behave like appearances, and the sea water should not be measured.

"Then, what business does she have?"

"I don't know this. I didn't like to listen to them gossiping. But every night the master used a car and after returning to the mansion, he had to go to the kitchen to eat something, and he heard what they said."

"oh."

I nodded, and at this time, our carriage drove to Yang's mansion again.

This time, before I could get off the car, the concierge had already seen me and ran down a few steps: "Miss Yan, you are here again."

"Well, is your lady back?"

"It's a coincidence that we're asking you specifically, Miss, she hasn't come back yet."

"I haven't come back yet."

"yes."

I frowned.

If it was as Lao Xia said, Yang Jinqiao had his own business and went out to negotiate business, it would be really hard to make a decision at that time. Seeing that I looked unhappy, the concierge asked me diligently if I wanted to go in and sit. It might be possible that Yang Jinqiao would come back in a while, but I thought about it, but it was really hard to get in. First, I just left the Yang Mansion, and I didn't want to go back to trouble Yang Wanyun and the others; second, I wouldn't be willing to come here to find Yang Jinqiao today, and I wouldn't be willing to let others know; third, because Yang Jinyao, she was locked out by Wu Yanqiu, I could almost think of how much grievance this little girl suffered, and she must have to find someone to talk to. In fact, at this time, I should have come to listen to her and comfort her, but this matter was not handled well, and all the comfort was empty words. I would rather set a decision for her and Wu Yanqiu.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Thinking of this, I rejected the doorman's request, thought for a while, and added: "Don't tell you lady, I've been here."

The concierge was a little confused, but he agreed immediately.

So, this time, I didn't even get out of the car, so Lao Xia drove the car again and the two of them walked back.

The wind became heavier and after the sky became darker, the streets became a little deserted. Lao Xia rushed to the car for a while and turned around and asked me: "Miss, are we going home?"

I lifted the curtain and said softly: "Go back--"

As soon as I finished speaking, my voice was drowned out by the sudden sound of horse hooves.

On the street ahead, a carriage was running across the street, turning a corner at a very fast speed, and running towards the other side. Fortunately, there were no pedestrians on the street, otherwise one or two would have knocked down.

I still didn't care, but Lao Xia said "Huh".

"What's wrong?"

"That car-" he hesitated a little: "It seems to be Miss Jin Qiao's carriage."

"What?"

"Yes, it shouldn't be wrong. Miss Jin Qiao usually doesn't use Yang's car, she has her own carriage."

"Is that one?"

"It should be that one."

I immediately said, "Then, follow me quickly!"

This time, Lao Xia did not hesitate, immediately raised his whip and blew a flower in the air, and the carriage drove forward quickly.

Fortunately, it was late at this time and there were not many pedestrians on the street. Yang Jinqiao's carriage ran in front. Our carriage followed from a distance and could always see their backs. It was not lost. After a while, she saw her carriage parked in a back alley. She got off the carriage and entered the back door of a large house.

What is this place?

Her private home?

However, this area is Yangliu Street, which is not a place where dignitaries and nobles buy houses, especially the place where she goes in, it doesn’t look like a house.

I asked Lao Xia to park the carriage aside, got off the car by himself, slowly walked around the street in the cold wind, and walked to the main street.
