C5 Ambushed

Walking through the cloister, looking from afar at the beautiful silk pavilion, in the lush green garden, The servants got up early and did their jobs in an orderly manner. This Ninth Madame was definitely not an ordinary person. She was good at managing finances and housework. In just a few short years, there was no one in the Lou family who could not accept it. Even the old ancestor gave her a little bit of respect.

After entering the garden, the servants guarding the door did not stop her when they saw her. They quickly went in to report. Most of them recognized me and knew that Ninth Madame treated me well. That was why they were respectful.

I know in my heart that it was Ninth Madame's face. It was not mine. Before Ninth Madame entered the Prime Minister Estate, the servants were not as good as a servant when they saw me. Thus, I always knew that the world was cold. I don't care. I have my life. I will naturally live happily.

When I was almost in the meeting room, I quickened my pace, but walked even more steadily. The sounds of discussion in the hall could be heard faintly. I listened attentively. There was indeed news of Lyi Ann.

"Ninth Madame, how should we explain the thirty thousand silver taels and one thousand gold taels to Prime Minister?"

I panicked. There really was an accident. Lyi Ann was the one who went to the countryside to collect rent money.

"There's no hurry. Let's first investigate the whereabouts of the silver. When we can't find it back, we'll report to Prime Minister." Ninth Madame's calm reply made me feel much more at ease. Lyi Ann will definitely be fine.

"What about Lyi Ann? He might have fled for his sins."

"Investigate first. Don't talk nonsense. Be careful of your head." Ninth Madame's scolding was dignified and ruthless. The room was silent and no one dared to refute her.

She saw me standing at the door and said to those people: "All of you can go down. I am also tired."

I stood at the door and watched the group of people walk out one by one. The anxiety in my heart intensified. Lyi Ann's life and death were unknown.

"Yun Qier, come in." She called out to me in a gentle voice. If I hadn't seen her personally, I wouldn't have believed that she was the same person.

"Good morning, Ninth Madame." I bowed and greeted her.

"Yun Qier, please take a seat. There is wind blowing you here so early in the morning. There must be something wrong."

I looked at her and wanted to ask about Lyi Ann, but in the end, I was unable to ask about him. I should wait for her to find out the news before asking.

"I only came to ask for a few high-quality Xuan papers from Madam to draw for her. You must use them well." After thinking for the whole night, he thought of using this method to come to the Beautiful Silk Pavilion to inquire about Lyi Ann's news. He couldn't let it go cold, so he decided to take it first.

"Oh, that's a must. Later, I'll ask Zi Yun to send it over to you. "Come, have a cup of tea. "Warm your body, Yun Qier. Your complexion is still not good." Ninth Madame asked with concern.

I lowered my head and did not sleep for the entire night. My eyes had already sunk and no matter how much cosmetic powder there was, it would not be able to cover up the truth.

"It's fine. I'll be fine after drinking a few more doses of medicine."

Her voice changed and she said to Ruo Qing, "Ruo Qing, yesterday I brought the medicine for Yun Qier and let her take it personally."

Ruo Qing was shocked and unexpectedly thought of Ninth Madame's question and quickly replied, "I watched the young miss drink it."

I thought to myself that I actually did not drink it. The medicine had already merged with the rain and was traceless. Heaven knows earth and I also know. Ruo Qing, she did not know but because of Ninth Madame's dignity, she lied. I smiled at her to make her feel at ease, "Ninth Madame, you even drank it early in the morning. Ruo Qing instructed the kitchen to brew it early in the morning."

After talking for a while, they talked about the daily chores. I saw that Ninth Madame was a little tired and leisurely got up to leave. She did not want me to stay. She only said that she would give me some bird nest ginseng to nourish my body later.

I agree. Thank you too.

I know that the most realistic thing right now is power, and she is my only hope right now.
