Unexpectedly, the day when he went out to visit his grandfather turned out to be a wonderful day. Xuan Bao realized that he had to become stronger to cope with the unexpected changes. It would be very difficult to deal with the owner of the Soul Calling Banner, let alone hide.
Enemies and opponents in the dark.
After Li Zhuo and Xiao Kexiao left, Xuan Bao decided to retreat and practice diligently that night.
On the surface, in the eyes of others, Xuan Bao no longer leaves the house and she stays in Lingyun Garden. In fact, she is very busy.
Every night, Xuan Bao makes full use of this time. Lian Bao Zhong gives her more time to learn various skills from the experienced master.
As for the daytime, it was a rare rest time. Xuanbao had enough to eat and drink and slept well.
Unknowingly, Chunhua and Qiuyue saw Xuanbao sleeping day and night, and thought Miss Qi was ill, and even alerted Princess Rouping to invite the imperial doctor.
After seeing it, the imperial doctor confirmed that Xuan Bao had no physical problems. As for her being lazy and wanting to sleep all day long, it might be because of her growth.
Although Dong Xue and Xia Yu didn't know much about it, they knew from Xuan Bao's performance and a few words that Miss Seven was practicing hard, and all they could do was to get her more delicious food.
Half a month passed, and Xuan Bao's skills improved several levels. The old Taoist master marveled that the little stupid treasure was an incredible existence.
The Lingering Bell plays an auxiliary role and buys time for Xuan Bao. However, the most important thing in cultivation is comprehension. Many people waste their lives to overcome this hurdle, but she can understand it with just one click. It can be said that she has made a thousand miles with each passing day.
After dinner that day, Xuan Bao patted his round belly and asked Chun Hua to get some hawthorn tea for digestion.
"Miss Qi, are you not sleepy tonight?" Qiuyue was a little surprised.
"I've slept enough, I'm not sleepy anymore." Xuan Bao smiled and climbed onto the chair to get ready, "Come, come, let's talk."
Dong Xue and Xia Yu looked at me and I looked at you. They both looked happy. It seemed that Miss Seven was done.
Chunhua brought hawthorn tea: "What does Miss Seven want to talk about?"
"It's nothing, just talk about what happened in the house during this time." Xuanbao took a sip of the hawthorn tea handed over by Qiuyue, "It's sour and sweet, and it tastes good. You guys should drink some too."
The four maids each held a cup of hawthorn tea and sat around Xuan Bao. They had not been together like this for a long time, and everyone had a smile on their face.
"What's happening with Xiao Mingzhu recently?" Xuan Bao asked directly.
Everyone knew that Miss Seven and Miss Six were not dealing with each other, so it was normal for Xuan Bao to ask Xiao Mingzhu first.
"After the Seventh Miss came back that day, it wasn't until dark that the First Young Master and the others came back with the Sixth Miss." Chunhua recalled, "She was carried into the Qinse Courtyard by several young masters in turns. They said she accidentally fell and injured her legs and feet."
It seemed that Xiao Mingzhu had really knelt for two full hours, while Xuan Bao was secretly praising Brother Shun for his power. The second prince's orders were really useful. If we meet again, we must thank him for venting his anger on her.
"She broke her legs and feet?" Xia Yu snorted coldly, "I don't believe it."
Dongxue took the words calmly: "The princess asked her to shut herself up and reflect on her past, which shows that it was not as simple as a fall."
The two maids were both insiders, with mocking looks on their faces.
"Yes, Miss Six must have made some mistake. I heard that the princess lost her temper that day," Qiuyue said.
After offending the second prince and being punished, no wonder my mother got angry, it was normal, Xuan Bao knew it well.
"Is it going well for my mother to take over the Hou Mansion? Is there any news from the second room?" Xuan Bao asked again when he mentioned Princess Rouping.
Dong Xue and Xia Yu serve Xuan Bao closely, Chun Hua is calm and in charge of all matters in Lingyun Garden, and Qiu Yue becomes the person who often interacts with everyone in the mansion.
When Xuan Bao asked, everyone's eyes fell on Qiu Yue.
"Because the princess took back the dowry, there are a lot less things in the west courtyard, and it looks a bit dilapidated. The second master's face was dark in those few days, and the servants serving in the second room did not dare to say a word."
Qiuyue sighed softly after saying this before continuing: "Later, with the help of Grandma Ying, the princess made a bold move and directly bought out many people, and the power of running the Hou Mansion was basically obtained."
"What do you mean basically?" Xuan Bao immediately grasped the key words in Qiu Yue's words.
"On the surface, the stewardship rights have returned to the princess, but as far as I know, many people are still waiting and watching."
Xuan Bao asked smartly: "The second room is like this, are you still waiting and watching?"
"After the princess took back the things, the second lady felt terribly distressed. During those few days, she was short of money and even food." Doubts flashed across Qiuyue's face, "But in the past half month, it seems that the money has been loose again."
Something was fishy, Xuan Bao asked: "You mean her hands are full again? Where did you see it?"
"I bought a lot of things in Xikuoyuan. Basically, I put new ones in the space that was vacated because the princess moved away the items. I heard that Mr. Youfeng and Miss Minghu often reward their servants, and they are much more generous than before.
Already.
"Is there anything unusual about Fang Rongru? Did the money suddenly fall from the sky?"
"Second Madam Qian'er is busy taking care of the injured Young Master Youfeng. There hasn't been much movement. It's only in the past few days that she has started walking around the house."
After listening to Qiuyue's words, Xuanbao tilted his little head and thought, as if something flashed through his mind, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
"No money will fall from the sky, Miss Qi, where do you think the money for the second house came from?" Xia Yu said what they were thinking.
Xuan Bao frowned: "What is the second master's reaction?"
"He was in a very bad mood at first and quarreled with the second wife several times. Later, things in the West Cross Courtyard were repaired, and the couple reconciled. I saw the second master from a distance yesterday, and I saw that he was in a very good mood and could even be said to be very proud of himself.
."
"There is a problem with the second room, and the problem is not small." Xuan Bao's eyes were wandering, but there was no news from Lao Zhou, perhaps because he was in seclusion and didn't see it.
Finding a calculating smile on Xuan Bao's lips, Miss Qi had another idea! This idea came to Dong Xue and Xia Yu's minds at the same time.
"Tell us about our small courtyard." Xuan Bao changed the subject and started chatting with the four maids.
It was late at night, so Xuan Bao asked several others to go back and rest, leaving only Dong Xue to keep watch.
Standing on tiptoes in front of the window, Xuan Bao raised his head and saw dark clouds covering the moon and darkness outside.
"Miss Qi, please take a rest." Dong Xue walked to Xuan Bao and whispered.
"Enough rest." Xuan Bao smiled, "It's time to find something to do."
Dongxue's pupils shrank instantly. She thought Miss Seven would have a good rest today, but she didn't expect that she was still restless.
"Wherever you want to go, I will go with you."
"I can go alone tonight, and you can stay in this room."
"Are you going to leave the house?" Dong Xue nervously grabbed Xuan Bao's little arm.
Xuan Bao couldn't laugh or cry and said: "It's so late at night, how can I leave the house during curfew time? You are overthinking."
