The fish is hooked?

Meng Jinyao's face lit up with joy, and she almost stood up in excitement.

Qingqiu had a tacit understanding with her master and servant for many years, and he predicted her next move. With quick eyes and quick hands, he quickly reached out to hold her shoulders to prevent her from standing up suddenly.

Meng Jinyao didn't react and looked up at her with doubts in her eyes.

Qingqiu explained with a smile: "Madam, be careful about your foot injury."

Meng Jinyao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly looked down at her injured left foot. Only then did she realize that her foot injury was not healed yet. She was secretly glad that Qingqiu reacted quickly, otherwise she would stand up suddenly later and her left foot would be so painful that she would not be able to exert any strength. One of them lost his footing and fell down.

Ningdong nodded in agreement: "Yes, Madam, be careful."

"The fish got hooked so quickly?"

Meng Jinyao spoke in a brisk tone, with a smile hidden in her voice. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and her eyes shone with a cunning light, like a cunning fox.

Qingqiu said: "Madam, for a gambler, as long as there is enough bait, isn't it easy for him to take the bait?"

Meng Jinyao nodded slightly and asked Ningdong: "How did you reply just now?"

Ningdong smiled and said: "Madam, I told Brother Lin not to be in a hurry, and continue to put out the bait and wait for the fish to relax their vigilance before reeling in the line. You said that if you want to make it die, you must make it crazy, let him taste enough Enough sweetness will make his heart grow bigger, so that he can make bigger bets and hit with one hit."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao suddenly looked at Ningdong with surprise in her eyes. She used to feel that Ningdong was not as calm as Qingqiu, but today she did a good job. She remembered everything she said before. It seemed like she was making progress. A lot.

Seeing that she was silent, Ningdong felt a little uneasy and asked uneasily: "Madam, did I do something wrong? I thought you had planned this before, so I replied to Brother Lin like this."

Meng Jinyao shook her head and praised: "You did a good job this time. I didn't change the plan and still acted according to the original plan. Aunt Qiao is too shrewd. She can see the obvious traps, and she may not be able to use it to my advantage at that time. , after all, she is someone who can risk her life to save the Sun family."

Ningdong immediately smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.

Meng Jinyao asked again: "By the way, does Lin Rui have enough money?"

Lin Rui is the grandson of Uncle Lin, and Uncle Lin is an old servant of the Zhou Mansion. After her maternal grandfather passed away, he continued to stay in the Zhou Mansion to take care of the house. Lin Rui's parents died early, and Old Uncle Lin raised her alone. He is also the Zhou family. The family gave birth to children.

After Mr. Zhou passed away, Meng Jinyao became the owner of this house, and the land deed was given to her. However, she did not live in the Zhou Mansion, and there was no master in the house. Lin Rui was a young and strong man, and she should not only work in the Zhou Mansion. Daily cleaning and other chores wasted time, so Meng Jinyao allowed him to do things outside.

Lin Rui is smart and sociable, and he also knows people in the gambling shop, which comes in handy now.

Ningdong nodded: "I asked Brother Lin, and he said it is enough."

Meng Jinyao pursed her lips and smiled: "As long as the bait is enough, hiss..." Before she could finish her words, she suddenly let out a cry of pain.

Qingqiu paused in applying the medicine to her, and then asked quickly: "Madam, did I hit you too hard? Last night, I saw that the Marquis applied the medicine to you like this. You need to rub it, otherwise the effect will not be good, but I don't know Use so much force."

Meng Jinyao replied warmly: "It's okay, I'm just not ready, just keep going."

Qingqiu responded and continued to apply the medicine on her, massaging it with moderate strength.

Meng Jinyao frowned slightly. It hurt, but it was much better than last night. She could bear it.

After a moment, Meng Jinyao asked: "By the way, what happened last night didn't make any noise, right?"

Qingqiu shook his head: "Madam, don't worry, the Marquis just asked his people to look for you privately last night, and no one knew about it. Even Xia Zhu didn't know that the Marquis was waiting for you at the door. After all, it was so late at that time. Who pays attention to the gate?”

Meng Jinyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. That's good. She should come back earlier next time, otherwise it would be bad after all if the news spread to the elders.

After a while, Xia Zhu came in, holding a cane in his hand.

Seeing this, Meng Jinyao could guess who the crutch was for without asking. Among the three of her, Qingqiu and Ningdong, she was the only one who was temporarily crippled and could use the crutch.

Xia Zhu saluted her, then handed the crutch to her and said respectfully: "Madam, this is the crutch sent by the Marquis. He said that you have a sprained foot and it is difficult to walk."

Meng Jinyao's smile faltered.

At a young age, she used a cane.

After a moment, she took the crutch and said warmly: "My husband is really thoughtful."

-

Near noon, Chunliu returned to Wei Ruixuan with her baggage. She walked briskly on the road and had a smile on her face.

The madam sent her to teach Aunt Li the rules. She thought she had no other thoughts and just wanted to complete the task seriously and teach Aunt Li the etiquette and rules well, so she was a little stricter.

However, because of her sternness, Aunt Li always felt that she was being instigated by her wife to deliberately make things difficult. Even the Crown Prince felt this way. She felt very aggrieved. Now she finally completed this arduous task and packed up her bed. Slip back to Wei Ruixuan.

Meng Jinyao was talking to Ningdong when she suddenly saw Chunliu entering the room. She was startled and asked incomprehensibly: "Chunliu, didn't I ask you to go to Qingyu Pavilion to teach Aunt Li the rules? Why did you come back suddenly? Are they in trouble? You? If they make things difficult for you, I will send them here to give you a lecture."

After listening to her words, Chunliu felt very at ease. She felt that all the grievances she had suffered these days were worth it. He blessed her with blessings and replied respectfully: "Madam, it was the prince who sent this slave back. He said that Li Auntie has learned the rules."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao was stunned again, and then asked: "Are you really done with it? Or is he just saying this because he wants to send you away?"

Chunliu didn't hide anything and answered truthfully: "Madam, in fact, the prince wanted to send the slave back a few days ago, but the slave stayed for a few more days and watched Aunt Li and taught her etiquette and rules for a few days. In the end, she felt that Aunt Li basically She has learned it well and has just come back. Otherwise, if she didn't learn the rules well, she would be a slave who didn't teach her well, and she would be embarrassed by you in the end."

After hearing this, Meng Jinyao was very satisfied and smiled and said: "Since Aunt Li has learned the rules well, then you can go back to Wei Ruixuan to work. I haven't gotten used to your absence these days."

"Madam," Chunliu was about to say something when she suddenly saw a crutch on Meng Jinyao's left hand. She paused and asked, "Madam, why is there a crutch here?"

Meng Jinyao said: "I accidentally sprained my foot last night, it's nothing serious."

What happened last night was embarrassing, and she didn't want to mention it again. Her eyes fell on the bundle in Chun Liu's hand, and she immediately changed the subject: "Chun Liu, put your things away first."

Chunliu nodded in response and stepped back.
