The person outside the door was definitely not Lu Ping's older brother!

In the middle of the night, when a foreigner entered Miss's room, why would he knock on the door before entering? And the few times I saw him, he jumped in through the window. Who was that outside the door?

"Miss, did you take a rest?"

It was a woman's voice, and when Lan Li heard it, she quickly dropped to the ground and gave me a look.

I hurriedly got off the brick bed and climbed onto the bed. Green Cock and Green Pingping quickly covered me up.

The footsteps gradually drew closer, but his voice was deliberately suppressed.

"Miss, why did you rest so early?" It was Mother Du's voice.

"Miss seemed to be especially tired today. After coming back to do some needlework, she took a rest." Lan Li followed up on Mother Du's words.

"This is the soup the old lady made for Miss to replenish her energy. Then let's wait for Miss to drink it in the morning!" Remember to keep it warm in order for it to work. "

Lan Lingyun thanked him again, and the shadowy figure outside the tent left.

When I was sure my mother was gone, I lifted my tent and got up from the bed.

"Miss, you should have this soup!" Lu Ping stretched out her hand to take the box of food from Lan Ping. Lan Ping hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she still handed it to Lu Ping.

I shook my head. Lu Ping was still the same. She hadn't changed at all.

"Take it to the kitchen to warm it!" Tell them what Mama Du said. "

After hearing my words, Lu Ping had no choice but to return the food box to Lan Li's hands.

"Don't blame me. You know my situation." I reached out and took her hand, and she gave me a slight nod.

"Your hair is loose, let me comb it for you!" Green Pink pulled me to the counter.

Looking in the mirror, it wasn't that the hairpin was crooked, or the hair at the temples was loose. It was probably because his hair had been messed up while he was in bed, flustered.

One by one, Lu Ping took off the jewelry and gave me a head start.

"Just a homely one."

Looking at the familiar face in the mirror, I suddenly felt a little strange.

A pair of lily-white hands passed through my jet-black hair, looking increasingly white and greasy.

I looked in the mirror back and forth. I was afraid that after Green Pingping left, it would be hard for me to find someone who could comb his hair so well. Even if it was just a piece, the green duckweed was still combed to a new level.

Just as she was done combing her hair, she suddenly heard a few sounds coming from the window. With a smile, Lu Ping walked over to the window.

Unknowingly, a tall figure had already stood by the window.

"Big brother." Lu Ping's voice was filled with joy.

The man stretched out his hand to touch the top of Green Pingping's head, revealing a finger as white as jade.

"Miss." The man walked up to me and bowed deeply.

"What is it? Wasn't it the last time you saw me? " I stood up and walked over to the kang. I closed the window on the kang and sat on it.

To tell the truth, I was really afraid that he would come in through the window on the brick bed. The table on the brick bed was carved by a master sculptor.

The man followed me and saw me sitting on the kang. He couldn't sit with me, so he sat on the embroidery stool.

"The last time I saw you was on official business, this time it was a personal matter. My sister, I will never forget Miss's kindness! In the future, no matter what request Miss has, I will make you pay for it. "

"Don't, don't, don't. I entrust Green Pingping to you. You have been smashed to pieces. Who will take care of her for me?"

The man smiled shyly and scratched his head.

Unexpectedly, this man was rather cute.

I took two silver notes from my sleeve and placed them on the edge of the kang.

"I can't bear to see Lu Ping getting married with my own eyes. This is a little gift from me." I pointed to the two banknotes.

"There's no need for that. "When Lu Ping marries, I won't let her suffer any grievances." Not only did the man not stretch out his hand to take it, he even dodged to the side. Lu Ping was standing aside, but when she saw me take out the money, she hurriedly went over to her brother to stop him.

I smiled. "I naturally know that you won't let her suffer. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let her go with you." This is just a little bit of my intentions! "

The man paused, reached for the money, put it in his pocket, and smiled at me. "Then I'll keep it for her."

"Big brother!" "How can you take the money from the lady! Miss doesn't have much money with her either! "

The man raised his eyebrows. "Why would she be short on money?"

What did that mean? How can I, as an inner chamber woman, not be short of money?

Suddenly, I remembered my agreement with the Prayer King.

When the man saw my expression, his face showed a bit of contempt. "Could it be that Miss opened a shop and didn't go and check the account? If you are not born in a merchant's family, how come you don't even know how to do business? "

I blushed. Ever since the opening of the shop, I had only looked into the accounts for the first month. After that, quite a few things happened, so I had forgotten about it.

"Your Highness has promised me a thousand gold, I will definitely accomplish what I promised Miss." The man's face was filled with pride.

He clearly knew that I was a girl who was raised in the inner chamber, but he also knew what my mother wanted me to do. He even knew my background, yet he actually ridiculed me for not being able to do business!

I smiled. "When are you going to pick up your sister?"

The man raised his eyebrows. "Tomorrow at this time!"

"So you're going to kidnap her?" I almost laughed.

This person seemed to be quite smart. Why was there a lump of paste inside his head?

"Abduct her?" The man was immediately enraged. "My own sister, how can she be taken away?"

I slowly picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. "Then, let me tell you about what happened after you took her away."

"The head maid of the Yang family, Lu Ping, disappeared from the inner chamber of the Yang family. In order to prove their innocence, the Yang family had no choice but to file a complaint in the yamen. Due to the Yang family's financial resources, the government sent people to solve the case. And our Yang family, with your sister's indenture contract in our hands, will never go wrong. "Maybe you will say, 'Eight words, open the door on both sides, there is no reason nor money to enter', but our Yang family does not lack money."

Looking at the man's increasingly ugly expression, my heart was practically filled with joy.

"So you're not willing to let my sister go with me?" By the light of the lamp and the moonlight, I could see the man's clenched fists.

"Stupid, stupid!" I smiled and took another sip of tea.

"What did you say?" The man was clearly very angry, and his fists were clenched so tightly that creaking sounds could be heard. However, he had no choice but to lower his voice to speak.

"I said you're stupid." As long as I am useful for one day, Prince Qi will not do anything to me, let alone a servant by his side.

Lan Ling and the green bandit saw the angry look on the man's face and were a little scared. They hurriedly surrounded me, either leaning against the wardrobe or the wall.

"Then what do you think we should do?" Under the constant persuasion of Lu Ping, the man repressed his anger.

Go to the street and find an old couple who are about the same age as Lu Ping's parents. Have them come with you and bring Lu Ping home. Just say that your parents are old and deaf.

The man's eyes widened at my words.

"Is that okay?"

I just smiled at him and watched every change of expression on his face. It amused me.

"Miss, you are really. "Smart."

An unsincere praise? He probably wanted to say that I was cunning.

"Come tomorrow afternoon and do as I say. If there's nothing else, please go back! "

It was already late. After all, he still had to wake up early tomorrow morning to go to his grandmother's place for dinner.

"I still have some important matters to discuss with you." The man's expression suddenly turned solemn.

"His Royal Highness asked me to tell you that he will leave the capital in ten days."

Ten days? So fast? That's great, I have a reason to bring Mother back!

"Are you that happy that we left?" The man looked at the happy expression on my face.

I smiled sweetly at him. "It's not you, it's you!"

The man couldn't help feeling annoyed at my words. He glared at me a few times before continuing to talk.

"After I leave, the news from His Highness will be sent to you through Shopkeeper Xiao."

Finally, I didn't have to worry about a strange man flying around my roof. I suddenly felt that my heart had been hanging in my throat for a long time.

"You really are. "A freak!" He stared at me for a long time before coming to this conclusion.

"Thank you for your praise. If there's nothing else, please go back!" Now that the matter has been made clear, I have no interest in leaving such a dangerous man in my yard.

"His Royal Highness also had something he wanted me to tell Miss. I ask Miss to help His Highness fulfill his wish as soon as possible so that Your Highness can return Miss her freedom as soon as possible."

"Just tell His Royal Highness that 'the tree wants peace but the wind won't stop'."

"How can you be so perfunctory?" The man was really angry. He scuttled all the way to the brick bed, scaring Lan Li and Lu Ke badly. Two maidservants shakily stood in front of me, separating the two of us.

"If you just give him back the exact words, he will understand."

Seeing that I couldn't get any more information from him, the man instructed his sister before jumping out the window.

"Close the window, sleep!" I stretched.

It was too late for them to go to bed, but I had a bed in my room, and I could sleep on the kang.

He chose to sleep on the bed. Lan Li and Lu Ping moved the table and placed the cushions on the table. After clearing the surface of the bed, they spread out a few quilts on it, forming a comfortable bed.

There was no hot water, so they could only wash their faces with the cold water from the basin, wash their mouths, take off their hair and change their clothes. Soon, everyone was lying on the bed.

For the first time, when the four of us were living together, we all looked a little excited, especially Lan Ling, who became more reluctant to leave after she knew that Lu Ping would leave soon. She spoke for half a night before she really fell asleep.

I smiled as I listened to their thoughts and worries about the future. Unknowingly, I also fell asleep.

"Big sister Lan Li!" "Big sister Lan Li!" Lan Ling's voice came from outside.

Then I heard the sound of bare feet running on the ground, and the faint sound of fragments came back, and I sat up with a start at the word 'what to do' and 'bad'.

Then the footsteps approached the bed from far away, and the tent opened a small opening, and Lan Ling's face was a little flushed.

"Miss, this is bad!"
