Chapter 197 The mole is around
But obviously all this is not important. What is important is that Yu Qingli is looking forward to what kind of surprise the mother and daughter will bring to her.
Cui brought Yu Qingli to the hall, and sure enough, Wang and Yu Zhenzhen had already arrived. There was fragrant tea and exquisite pastries on the table.
When Wang's mother and daughter saw Yu Qingli, their expressions changed slightly, but Yu Qingli saw this change clearly.
Yu Qingli narrowed her eyes slightly, how interesting!
"Miss, please sit down quickly. Someone, serve tea!"
Cui enthusiastically asked Yu Qingli to sit down. After Yu Qingli sat down, she clearly noticed that Yu Zhenzhen, who was sitting opposite her, had a look of disgust on her face.
Wang Shi, however, smiled gently, took the tea from the servant and brought it to Yu Qingli, "Miss, what happened before was due to Zhenzhen's ignorance, I hope you don't mind."
"Aunt, you're too kind. I don't mind it. It's just a matter between a few servants. I think Sister Zhenzhen was instigated. But if the master doesn't have a good dog by his side, maybe the master's character will be affected." Yu Qingli said sarcastically.
Yu Zhenzhen's expression changed. This Yu Qingli really was full of thorns in every word she said.
"Yu Qingli, you should stop while you're ahead. This is my mother giving you face, don't be ungrateful."
Yu Qingli's face suddenly turned cold, and she looked dangerously and asked, "Are you talking to me?"
The pair of bright starry eyes now exuded an extremely murderous coldness, which made people feel even colder in this slightly bleak autumn day. Yu Zhenzhen felt a little creepy when she was looked at by Yu Qingli's eyes. Even Wang and Cui couldn't help but look at each other, wondering in their hearts, what's wrong with this young lady? Why are her eyes even more ferocious than the master's?
It's really terrifying!
Yu Zhenzhen didn't say anything more, but Wang on the side scolded her, "Zhenzhen, apologize to your sister quickly. I came here today to reconcile with your sister."
"If it's just something like this, the concubines are really making too much of a fuss. Didn't I already say that I won't take this matter to heart? I won't offend others unless they offend me!"
Yu Qingli slowly stood up without even drinking the tea. What a waste of time! She had thought the other party would bring her something new and fresh! This somewhat disappointed her.
Seeing Yu Qingli about to leave, Cui's face looked a little ugly. She wanted to pull Yu Qingli with her, but she didn't dare to.
"Yu Qingli, stop right there!"
Yu Zhenzhen finally couldn't help but speak. Ever since Yu Qingli appeared, her pride and self-esteem had been trampled upon time and time again.
This was something she had never encountered in her life since she was a child, and it was something she absolutely could not forgive.
Yu Qingli ignored Yu Zhenzhen. She really disdained this peacock-like woman.
"I told you to stop, did you hear me..."
Yu Zhenzhen's hand touched Yu Qingli's sleeve. Yu Qingli gave her a cold look, and that devil-like look from hell made Yu Zhenzhen suddenly let go of her hand.
"Yu Qingli, you..."
Yu Qingli suddenly turned around and said in a very serious tone: "I am the eldest daughter of the Yu family. If you still admit that you are the second daughter of the Yu family, remember to call me "eldest sister" in front of others!"
After the warning, Yu Qingli left Cui's courtyard with a smile on her lips.
People who don't respect others should be punished.
As soon as they returned to Liuliju, Yinhuan came to greet them, "Miss, did the Madam and the others give you any trouble?"
Yu Qingli replied calmly: "Nothing, just invited me to have tea. Mei Hong hasn't come back yet?"
"Not yet. Come to think of it, Miss Meihong was out for quite a while today."
Yu Qingli sneered in her heart. It was true. She was probably not going to buy clothes, but to meet her lover.
But now is not the time to deal with this matter. Compared to this, there is another thing that she cares about very much.
Yu Qingli frowned, feeling a bit of a headache. Yinhuan had obviously noticed her frown and asked with concern, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing, just a little tired."
"Then I will go and make a pot of tea for you, young lady."
Yinhuan went down very considerately, and in just a moment, she brought the best tea. Yu Qingli took a sip and said, "This is..."
"This is chrysanthemum tea, perfect for this season."
"good."
Yu Qingli took two more sips before putting the teacup on the table. Her eyes flickered when she accidentally caught sight of Yinhuan.
Yu Qingli vaguely felt something was strange, but she didn't know what was strange. Why did this silver ring seem to have changed?
Maybe I'm just being too suspicious.
Then Meihong walked in with a cheerful look on her face. The blush on her cheeks showed that she was in a good mood at the moment.
Mei Hong respectfully bowed to Yu Qingli and took out a few small samples of fabric from her side. "Miss, the weather is getting colder. I heard that it is much colder here in the Imperial Capital than in Luoyang. I was worried that the clothes you brought with you were not enough, so I went to the clothing store today to take a look. I didn't know what patterns you would like, so I brought some back."
Yu Qingli glanced at the pieces of cloth. They were all high-quality silk, and the totem patterns of Fenglai Embroidery Shop were clearly embroidered on the corners.
A hint of coldness flashed across his eyes. Sure enough, Mei Hong went to see Murong Feng.
Mei Hong didn't know the origin of Fenglai Embroidery Shop, but Yu Qingli knew it very well. It was an embroidery shop under the name of Queen Li. It was transferred to Murong Feng's name after Murong Feng came of age. Because the Li family has always been engaged in business, this embroidery shop was originally the dowry given by the Li family to Queen Li.
Before Li Baiyun became the queen, the name of this embroidery shop was Qiqiao Embroidery Shop. After Li Baiyun became the queen, she felt that the name was too petty and it should be called Fenglai Embroidery Shop.
I didn't expect that Mei Hong actually had such means. But how did she contact Murong Feng?
Seeing that Yu Qingli didn't speak and her brows were slightly furrowed, Mei Hong couldn't help but ask nervously: "What's wrong, Miss? Are these materials not to your liking?"
Yu Qingli came back to her senses and looked at the pretty face so close to her. "Just make the decision. Just don't make it too flashy."
Mei Hong finally felt relieved. "Then I'll ask the tailor in the shop to come and take your measurements some other day..."
"No need. Just take one of the robes I usually wear and make it the same way."
Mei Hong was stunned for a moment, then happily agreed, "Okay, I'll go right away."
Yu Qingli was a little surprised by this. "Meihong, why are you so keen on these clothes these days?"
Mei Hong's pretty face turned red. A woman dresses up to please herself. She has been meeting the eldest prince almost every day these days, so naturally she wants to dress beautifully. However, if she suddenly buys new clothes, it will inevitably make people feel strange. If she goes in and out under the name of a young lady, she will also give people something to talk about.
Most importantly, it is much more convenient to meet with the eldest prince.
But these things must not be known to the young lady, so Meihong quickly thought of another reason.
"Miss, don't you know? The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. I heard that everyone will get together to celebrate the festival. Miss, of course, can't be outdone."
Yu Qingli nodded slightly, "You are thoughtful."
What Yu Qingli didn't say was that during the Mid-Autumn Festival, their family would be invited to the palace to dine with the emperor, and the clothes they wore to the palace would be prepared in advance and sent over by someone, so what Mei Hong was doing now was completely meaningless.
As night fell, Yu Qingli couldn't fall asleep for a long time and her head still hurt. This pain made Yu Qingli suddenly realize that something was wrong.
While she was thinking, Yinhuan walked in, holding a small sachet in her hand, just like yesterday. "Miss, are you suffering from insomnia again?"
Yu Qingli looked up at her. This silver ring was really thoughtful.
Seeing that Yu Qingli didn't say anything, Yinhuan took the sachet in her hand and said, "Miss, if you have insomnia, why not try this."
The same scent wafted out, and Yu Qingli felt her headache ease a little. She closed her eyes slightly and said, "Yinhuan, these sachets are really good, but are they any different from yesterday's?"
"It's not that different, except that the dried flowers only last for one night at most, so they have to be replaced every night."
"Oh, that's really troublesome."
"For the young lady, it's not a trouble at all." Yinhuan answered respectfully.
Yu Qingli ordered: "Then you should go back and rest early."
"Yes, the slaves retire."
Yinhuan slowly left the room and when she reached the door, she found that Yu Qingli on the bed was breathing evenly and had fallen asleep.
A meaningful smile appeared on her lips. She didn't expect things to go so smoothly. It was really beyond her expectations!
Yinhuan gently closed the door and left in a good mood. When the footsteps faded away, Yu Qingli, who should have been sleeping soundly on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes, and her eyes were clear.
Afterwards, Yu Qingli quietly got up, poured the dried flowers in the sachet into a large vase in the room, sealed the mouth of the vase with a waxed cloth, took out the dried flowers that had been prepared in advance from the drawer beside the table, put them back into the sachet, and hung it on the head of the bed.
After doing all this, Yu Qingli lay back down on the bed. In a few days, she would know who was the mastermind behind all this.
What surprised her was that these people would actually think of touching the people around her, which made her a little interested.
The next morning, Yinhuan came and took the sachet away as usual, probably because she didn't want to leave any evidence.
Despite having slept all night, Yu Qingli still looked tired and listless, and looked listless.
"Miss, did you still not sleep well last night?"
Yinhuan spoke with great concern, her eyes and eyebrows full of sincerity.
Yu Qingli pressed her temples with her fingers and said, "I slept pretty well, but I don't know why I still feel sleepy after sleeping, and my head hurts."
Yinhuan smiled and said, "Perhaps it's because Miss has just arrived in the Imperial Capital and is having some difficulty acclimatizing."
"Maybe. If it keeps going on like this, I'm afraid I really need to see a doctor."
