Bai Zhi failed to visit Meng Wenjing every day.

It was nearing the end of the year, and the Feng family bought winter clothes for their female relatives, and each of his wife and concubines had a fox fur cloak.

Yao Niang did not.

The maids passing by covered their mouths and snickered in twos and threes, casting mocking glances at her.

Bai Zhi is not considered a female concubine in the house, so she doesn't have one either.

This cloak is the most fashionable style at the moment, and most people can't afford it. In Denning City, only the Feng family can own a few.

Yao Niang went out shopping and met a merchant's wife. They all had similar backgrounds and were used to competing with each other. Seeing Yao Niang's disgraced face, she laughed at her, "Isn't this Yao Niang? I watched Mrs. Feng give several wives I already bought a fox fur fur coat, why didn’t I buy one for you? Oh my, my hands are covered with frostbite, and the skin on these hands will rot in the future!"

Yao Niang's teeth were almost broken. This was not the first time, but every time.

Gilt hair accessories, warm bracelets, delicate silks, and thick fox furs, if she had any of them, she would be able to walk past this merchant with her head held high today.

But she didn't.

She ran under a tree in the run-down urban area, dug out the thick snow and soil with a shovel, and took out a box containing two or three pieces of jewelry and money.

She took some, buried the rest in the soil, and covered it with snow.

Bai Zhi followed her for a long time before she discovered that her little treasury was hidden here. She suddenly appeared and asked Yao Niang with a smile, "What are you doing with these jewelry?"

"Oh! Scared me to death! Why are you following me!" Yao Niang was scared to death.

"Where's the hidden treasure?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Where is the treasure?" Yao Niang was nervous.

Bai Zhi looked at the jewelry in her hand. It looked shabby and shabby. It probably wasn't worth much. "What are you doing with this jewelry?"

Yao Niang was so mysterious that she didn't tell Bai Zhi. Bai Zhi followed her all the way and saw her return to the county office. Taking the broken jewelry, she went to one of Feng Qiye's concubines to change her fox fur, but the other party didn't agree.

Yao Niang went to find someone else, but the other person still disagreed and laughed at her, "You know how expensive this thing is, right? You want to exchange for this broken jewelry?"

Bai Zhi thought she would give up, but she didn't know that when Yao Niang brought the foot washing water to Master Feng Qi the next day, she heard the housekeeper report, "There are still two fox fur cloaks sent by Boss Liu, I put them back."

"Oh! Are all the ladies here?"

"Have it!"

"Where's Bai Xue?"

"She... didn't!"

"Send one to her!"

Yao Niang was washing Master Feng Qi's feet. After hearing this, her movements stopped unconsciously. She raised her head and begged Feng Qi, "Master Qi, there are two pieces left. Why did you give them to Miss Bai Xue? Why don't you give them to me too?" One piece?”

"You? You want it too? Hahahaha, who deserves the same clothes? You can't wash my feet wearing a fox fur fur!"

……

Yao Niang was still unconvinced and went to get all the remaining money the next day to exchange for a fox fur cloak.

At that time, Bai Zhi had already received the cloak given to her by the housekeeper. Yao Niang's eyes were shining when she looked at her, "Girl, sell it to me?"

Bai Zhi didn't care. She took the box from Yao Niang's hand. It was the box she dug out yesterday. "Is this all your belongings?"

Yao Niang stroked the fur, her heart beat like water, she thought Bai Zhi was a fairy, "Yes! I saved it when I was a prostitute, I originally wanted to keep it."

Bai Zhi narrowed her eyes slightly. All her money combined could not buy this big cloak. She asked puzzledly, "Is it worth it? It can't be eaten as food..."

"It's worth it!" Yao Niang's eyes at this moment were completely different from usual, they were as bright as stars.

She put on her big cloak and turned around in front of Bai Zhi, "Does it look good?"

Maybe the addition of wealth made Yaoniang look brighter, or maybe her smile was brighter, making her look brighter.

Bai Zhi accompanied her for a walk around the shops of acquaintances. Different from the ridicule in the past, everyone looked at her differently, "Miss Yao, this cloak is so beautiful! Master Qi will reward you with it!"

Bai Zhi listened to their discussion, "Has this Yao Niang pleased Master Qi again? Don't let it be just a flash in the pan!"

This day was Yao Niang's happiest day recently. Bai Zhi took the opportunity to ask her again, "Did you see anything when you went to the Feng family tomb with them that day?"

Yao Niang shook her head, "No! What can I see? I'm just a maid, and I can't even come close to burn incense."

Bai Zhi has always wondered where that huge fortune would be hidden. Although there are banks in this era, it is not as reliable as digging a cellar by yourself.

She had people follow the Feng family for a while, but as soon as they got near the Feng family tomb, they lost track of them and couldn't find the treasure, so she tried to get close to Feng Qi.

But she was poisoned that day to worship her ancestors, so she failed to go. She entrusted the matter to Yao Niang, but Yao Niang found nothing.

Bai Zhi was a little anxious. She would take action on New Year's Eve at most, whether she could find the treasure or not.

This is a surprise attack, and the longer it is delayed, the less likely it is to win.

*

On New Year's Eve, every household is buying new year's goods, and Mrs. Feng's wife is no exception.

Those who should be rewarded should be rewarded, and those who should be wined over should be won over. Mrs. Feng's wife gave out tonics and rouge to the female relatives in the house, and among them was something called Peach Blossom Qiongyu Cream.

I heard that applying it on the face can make the skin as smooth as jade and the face like peach blossoms.

As usual, Yao Niang still didn’t.

Bai Zhi didn't come to the door either. If Feng Qiye hadn't asked, Mrs. Feng wouldn't have given it to her.

Things are as usual, Yaoniang still wants this thing, but she has no money to exchange for it, and Bai Zhi can't help her.

She then moved other people's minds. She seduced the Feng family's housekeeper and seduced him into bed.

I thought Butler Feng would keep it a secret, but little did he know that Yao Niang was already someone everyone wanted to fight in the Feng family. Master Qi didn't care about her at all. Even the seduction was tacitly approved by Master Qi.

That night, Yao Niang was almost beaten to death.

She had no one close to her in the Feng family. Only Bai Zhi, who was also a prostitute in Yinghong Mansion, carried her back home.

Yaoniang was lying on the bed, dying, and kept asking, "Why? Why did that man lie to me..."

"He said he would give me peach blossom and jade paste..."

Bai Zhi made her a medicinal soup and applied a plaster, hoping that she could get through it, but when she heard this, she became angry and said, "Is it that important?"

"The fox fur cloak yesterday, the gold bracelet yesterday, the peach blossom jade paste today, what will it be tomorrow?"

"It's important... to..." Yao Niang could only speak in anger, "They want to... look down on... me..."

Bai Zhi laughed angrily, her chest filled with anger, "People are using what they were born with to abuse you, and you still have to regard this as a belief?"

"They look down on...me...I don't have...they look down on...I just like...you don't understand...I can't lose...don't you have...something you like...?"

Yaoniang kept repeating her words incoherently, slurring her words intermittently, and Bai Zhi gradually became unable to hear her clearly.

She only heard Yaoniang ask herself, "Don't you have anything you like?"

Yao Niang seemed to have fainted.

Bai Zhi sighed and sat on the edge of the bed, "Yes! Of course, who can not? I often have things that I like very much, I like them so much, but the things I like are only because I like them, not because others like me. like……"

"Mother Yao, if you can survive, when we find the Feng family's treasure, I will give you a box of peach blossom and jade paste..."

Seeing that she had fallen asleep, Bai Zhi turned and left.

After she turned around, Yaoniang's fingers moved with difficulty, but she couldn't wake up.
