Chapter 298 I'm not being nice to you for the sake of reward
After confirming that Coach Zhang had left, Ding Qiao returned to the yard and knocked on the window, and the noise in the room stopped.
Yunniang cleared her throat and turned to complain, "Oh, the guy who was eavesdropping must be a pervert. He listened for so long before leaving. He almost made me die of exhaustion!"
Zhang Qian took out a gold ingot from his bosom and stuffed it into Yunniang's hand, saying, "This is a reward from the patriarch. It's three times more than originally planned."
Yunniang stared at the gold in her hand and immediately smiled happily, "Your master is really generous, he is so lavish!
If you have such good things in the future, can you please look for me more often? "
Zhang Qian snorted coldly, "What do you think this place is? Take the money and leave quickly, just pretend you have never been here."
Yunniang put the gold in her arms, stretched out her hand to pull Zhang Qian's sleeve, and said, "Hey, look at you, you are so serious. You just listened to the noise for a long time, and you didn't react at all?"
"Mr. Zhao, take your dirty hands away!"
Before Yunniang's hand touched Zhang Qian, Ding Qiao kicked the door open and walked in.
Yunniang immediately retracted her hand and looked at Ding Qiao with a teasing expression: "What? Are you angry already?
Don't be angry, Miss Ding, I was just joking with him!"
"If you want to make fun of me, go find the waiter in your shop. There are so many men, but they still can't satisfy you!
If you dare to take advantage of my Zhang Qian, don't tell me I'll smash your store!"
Yunniang knew that Ding Qiaosu kept her word, so she quickly begged for mercy: "Aunt, I know I was wrong, please calm down!"
"Hmph!" Ding Qiao turned away angrily, not wanting to pay any attention to her.
Yunniang took the initiative to ask: "Is there any news from the master? The caravan in the northern border has stopped, and I have no news from here for a long time."
Speaking of his master, Ding Qiao finally changed his attitude.
She looked back at Zhang Qian and said, "We don't have any news either, but we heard that the court is preparing to send troops to reinforce again.
If there is a chance this time, Zhang Qian will follow."
"I hope the master is okay."
Yunniang sighed, then returned to her usual cheerful look and said, "Master is blessed with a good fortune, she will be fine!
Now that things have been resolved here, I will leave now. I don't want anyone to find out my identity and cause me any more trouble."
"I'll take you out!"
Zhang Qian responded and left the room with Yunniang.
Ding Qiaoze walked into the inner room, took out an antidote and stuffed it into Lu Zhiyi's mouth.
It took half an hour for the person to wake up after taking the medicine. Ding Qiao got up and went to the outer room, helped Lu Changning up, and helped him all the way back to his own room.
When Lu Changning woke up, he felt very dizzy.
He called the maid and asked her to pour him a cup of cold tea. After gulping it all down, he finally sobered up a little.
"Why did I fall asleep? Didn't I remember going... somewhere else just now?"
He did not directly mention Lu Zhiyi's yard.
When the maid saw him asking, she said, "It was the maids from the Second Miss who brought the young master back. They said that you suddenly fainted when you went there just now. The Second Miss was very worried and asked someone to send the young master back to see a doctor!"
"Did she tell me if she had anything urgent to discuss with me?"
Lu Changning remembered that before he fainted, it was Lu Zhiyi who sent someone to call him over.
The maid replied, "The Second Miss didn't give any special instructions. She just told you to take good care of yourself and come back to see you when you are well."
"Okay, I understand, please step back."
Lu Changning was puzzled. It sounded like nothing happened. If it was nothing, why did they call him over just now?
This is a bit weird!
Lu Zhiyi in another courtyard also felt it was strange.
She remembered that she was still thinking about how to bring up the dowry issue with Leng Qingyu again the previous second, and the next second, she fell asleep.
When she woke up, there was no one in the yard, even Chuntao was gone.
"Chun Tao, Chun Tao!"
Lu Zhiyi rubbed his head.
A little maid with an unfamiliar face ran in quickly.
"Miss, what are your orders?"
Lu Zhiyi looked at her and asked cautiously: "Where is Chuntao? Where did she die?"
The little maid quickly replied: "Sister Chuntao was called by the Madam to help count the storeroom, and she hasn't come back yet."
When he heard about taking inventory of the warehouse, Lu Zhiyi's eyes immediately lit up.
"Why are you suddenly counting the storeroom? Are you preparing your dowry?"
The little maid was confused by the question and kept shaking her head to indicate that she didn't know.
"You don't know anything, what's the point of keeping you!"
She immediately got out of bed and walked outside, but she was so dizzy that she needed someone to help her stand steadily.
When she arrived at Leng Qingyu's room, she saw Leng Qingyu chatting and laughing with Ning Yuer, and the words that were on her lips suddenly couldn't come out.
"Zhiyi, why are you here? It's so cold, and you don't even have a cloak on. What if you catch a cold?"
Leng Qingyu's words were full of concern.
Lu Zhiyi shook her head, and immediately leaned over, putting her hand on Leng Qingyu's hand and said, "Mom, I'm fine. If you don't believe me, touch my hand, it's warm!"
Ning Yuer couldn't help feeling a little jealous as she watched the two of them being so close.
This is her daughter who she gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy, but now she can only watch her call others mother and get close to others.
She said nothing.
I just comforted myself in my heart: What does it matter if we are close now? It's just an act.
Zhiyi must only have me as her mother in her heart.
Lu Zhiyi noticed that Leng Qingyu was in a good mood, and asked coquettishly, "Mom, you asked Chuntao to help take inventory of the storehouse. Are you going to prepare my dowry? The wedding date is getting closer, and it's time to get ready."
"Yes, it's time to prepare. That's why I asked Chuntao to take inventory of your grandmother's warehouse to see what good things she left for you." Leng Qingyu said.
"Grandmother..." Lu Zhiyi was stunned for a moment.
She remembered that her grandmother had sold almost all of her savings in order to pay Leng Qingyu's dowry.
What is left now?
"But mother and grandmother's things may not be enough..."
Leng Qingyu smiled and comforted her: "If it's not enough, mother will make up for it for you. You are going to marry the third prince, and we can't lose our face."
Ning Yuer felt relieved after hearing these words.
She reached out and stroked her belly, and said proudly: "Now that I am married into the Third Prince's house as a concubine, I will be able to give birth to a child next year, and I will definitely be able to sit firmly in the position of the principal concubine.
Don't worry, mother. When your daughter is favored by the Third Prince, I will definitely repay you well!"
Hearing this, Leng Qingyu's smile suddenly faded a little, "Silly child, I treat you well, not for you to repay me.
As long as you live your life well, I, as a mother, will be very satisfied. Don’t you agree, cousin? "
Leng Qingyu suddenly looked at Ning Yuer.
