Quick Wear: Male supporting role, come to my arms quickly

Chapter 146 The Little Maid in the Prime Minister's Mansion 10

Adhering to the principle of seeing but not speaking, Chu Yuan did not ask about this matter. At that time, she chose Nishang Pavilion not because of its powerful background.

But among the several shops she passed by that day, only the people from Nishang Pavilion greeted her, and Madam Ying treated her very kindly and did not look down on her just because of her ordinary clothes.

After approaching, Chu Yuan also observed the quality of the dresses inside. He did not find any flaws at a glance. Even the embroidery on the hems of those expensive dresses was lifelike.

These two reasons made her take out her own drawings.

I can only say that there is a kind of fate between people.

Madam Ying had always been in charge of the land and shops under the name of her lord. She happened to be checking the accounts in Nishang Pavilion that day, and she happened to see the little girl outside the door when she looked up.

At that time, the first impression Chu Yuan gave her was that his eyes were very clear. Although he was wearing coarse clothes, it could not conceal his extraordinary temperament.

So I subconsciously smiled at her and invited her to come into the store.

Unexpectedly, this unintentional act led to a business deal and also brought the two people together.

Madam Ying is ten years older than her and has always regarded Chu Yuan as her younger sister.

Chu Yuan also thought that Madam Ying was a good person and regarded her as a friend in his heart. Moreover, Madam Ying had lived in Beijing for a long time, so Chu Yuan would always ask her for advice when he had any questions.

For example, today, Chu Yuan asked her about the two carriages running side by side on the street.

Madam Ying told her that one of them was a daughter of a marquis and the other was a daughter of a general. Both of them admired His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and would often quarrel over trivial matters.

But they have equal status and position, so scenes like today are very common in Shangjing City.

I guess the person she met today was the young lady from the Marquis's Mansion.

Chu Yuan expressed his guess, but Lady Ying smiled and shook her head: "The one who is dressed very simply is Miss Yang Zhiyan from the General's Mansion, and the one who likes red clothes and has a flamboyant personality is Miss Du Yutong from the Marquis' Mansion."

I didn't expect that these two people were quite different.

"Don't worry, these two are not unreasonable people, and they won't take today's incident to heart."

Chu Yuan was not worried at first, she was just a little curious. Now that she understood the situation, she said goodbye and went home.

In the past half month, she has been busy moving and cleaning up the new house, so the design drawings that should be submitted next time have not been completed yet, and she has to work overtime these days.

After returning to the room, Chu Yuan remembered that he had two finished drawings before moving. He just casually put them in a book at that time. How come he couldn't find them now?

She looked through all the books on the table, but found nothing inside.

Although it is not difficult to draw a blueprint, Chu Yuan did not want his hard work to be wasted, so he decided to go back to his house in the suburbs to see if it had fallen somewhere.

After eating a few bites of food, Chu Yuan set off for the outskirts of the city.

When the carriage stopped at the door, she sensed something was wrong because she smelled a hint of blood. There was someone inside!

So Chu Yuan did not go in directly, but asked Li Bo to leave for a while and then he climbed over the side wall to go in.

The moment he landed, Chu Yuan confirmed that his feeling was correct. There was an injured person inside, in the room where Chu Yang had lived before.

Chu Yuan lowered his footsteps and slowly approached the door.

The moment she pushed open the door, a sword was placed on her neck: "Who is it?" It was a man's voice.

Chu Yuan was speechless. Even the hand holding the sword was shaking, and he was still trying to threaten her: "Brother, this is my home. I should be the one asking you this."

"Nonsense, there is no sign that anyone has ever lived here."

"I just moved away from here not long ago. I came back this time to look for things I left behind."

"How do you prove that?"

Chu Yuan took off the pouch from his waist and took out a land deed from it: "Brother, now you can believe it, you see, I am a weak woman, I can't pose any threat to you, how about you take down the sword first?"

Xiao Yuncheng knew he was in the wrong and took the sword back.

At this moment, Chu Yuan grabbed him with his backhand and pressed him against the wall: "Tell me, who are you? What are you doing in my house?"

Xiao Yuncheng was very angry. He didn't expect that he would be deceived by a little girl who was not even as tall as his chest: "You know martial arts!"

"Yeah, so you'd better confess, or I'll break your neck."

Now that his life was in the hands of others, Xiao Yuncheng had no other choice: "I was being chased last night, and in a panic I just randomly climbed into a yard. Later I saw that no one lived there, so I just wanted to hide there for a few days."

The obvious wound on his abdomen proved that what he said was true, and Chu Yuan believed half of what he said.

And looking at his clothes and the blood-red jade pendant around his waist, Chu Yuan roughly guessed his identity.

Xinyuan King Xiao Yuncheng, 28 years old this year, is the only king of a different surname who is allowed to live in Shangjing City for a long time.

According to rumors, he was indeed not a bad person, but just an idle prince who was granted a title based on the merits of his ancestors.

However, Chu Yuan expressed great doubt about the credibility of this rumor. Would an idle prince be hunted down to such a situation?

Chu Yuan had just seen the wound on his abdomen, but after a careful look he discovered that his body was covered with wounds.

"Hey! Where are you looking? I... I am a very self-disciplined person. Even if you want to kill me, I will not surrender."

Sure enough, this person is not simple, and he is still pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.

Chu Yuan loosened his grip and said, "Forget it, big brother. I won't fall for it. I just came back to get something today. I haven't seen anything else."

Chu Yuan was about to push the door open and leave, but Xiao Yuncheng stopped her: "My lady, I was badly injured and I'm probably going to die soon, but don't worry, I will leave here before I die and won't ruin your family's reputation."

Chu Yuan looked at him with interest: "Okay, then please clean up the blood on the ground before you die, so as not to dirty my house."

"You!!! How can you be so cold-blooded!"

"You're not pretending anymore? Just say what you want to say. I can help you, but it depends on how much you can afford."

At this time, Xiao Yuncheng had lost contact with everyone around him, and he was seriously injured, so he had great difficulty picking up the sword.

Although he didn't know where the woman in front of him came from, he had no choice but to trust her at this moment, otherwise he would really die here.

"I need you to help me pass on a message. In return, I can give you ten thousand taels of silver."

Ten thousand taels of silver, this King Xinyuan is really generous, but Chu Yuan has no shortage of money: "I don't want money, I want a promise from you to do something for me unconditionally in the future."

Xiao Yuncheng's heart trembled. He suspected that the woman had guessed her identity, but he was not in a position to bargain now. "Okay, provided it doesn't violate my bottom line as a human being."
