"Ah? Manager Zhang, there is no precedent for this."
The people in the Shang Palace Bureau were shocked and had never thought of such an operation.
In his mind, only the master of the harem had the right to reward them with money, and they had no reason to spit it out.
There is currently no favored master in the palace, so there is no need for them to spend money to curry favor.
He was very aggrieved: "Besides, it's not like the servants didn't do anything. They carefully wiped the moss on the stone tablet at the entrance of Tingliyuan before leaving."
Zhang De was very angry. He had a low vision and could not achieve anything. If there is a pole to follow, he would not climb, so he had to do something unnecessary.
If there is a reasonable and legitimate reason to repair the Tingli courtyard in the harem, it can be used as an excuse for the Criminal Division to investigate the case and find that the Tingli courtyard is desolate, and to repair it for fear that the Queen Mother will not be happy.
Then wiping the moss is an obvious abnormal behavior, which may not be noticeable enough and lead to unwarranted speculation.
Fortunately no one saw it, otherwise he would have cut them up first.
The people from the Shang Palace Bureau dared to test: "Why did the manager suddenly pay attention to Tingliyuan? Is it Lu Jieyu or Wu Meiren there..."
Zhang Defa cast a cold gaze and said with a hint of sadness: "If you don't want to die too early, don't ask about it. This matter will be buried in our family, otherwise no one will be able to protect you."
Therefore, Zhang Defa has not yet opened up the situation in Tingliyuan.
He endured the pain in his buttocks and waited in Cangchen Palace today, hoping that the emperor would be relieved of his anger after seeing his miserable appearance.
As a result, the emperor happened to summon Wu Dingbang and gave him a series of favors such as inviting an imperial doctor, preparing medicine and decoction, and giving him meals.
Zhang Defa was so frightened that he sent Wu Dingbang away without concealing the injury on his buttocks and walked awkwardly along the way.
He racked his brains to figure out how to make amends with Lihua and erase the past offenses.
While thinking about it gave me a headache, I cursed Xiao Shunzi and Xiao Zhuozi in my mind, those two tough guys, they didn't give him any news, so he didn't know the situation.
It was a waste of time to be so kind to them in the past. If I had known better, I would have let the two of them go to the front of Tingliyuan and let them go.
He limped towards Cangchen Hall while cursing in his mind.
In Cangchen Palace.
Wu Dingbang's words appeared in Yuchigong's mind over and over again:
"...When she first brought her back, nine out of ten Chinese characters written by Li'er were wrong. If it hadn't been for Chen's negligence, she wouldn't have had to work so hard in those three years and study with all her might. I felt heartbroken just watching it.
”
"Sometimes when I feel so distressed, I and my wife go to persuade her repeatedly, but Li'er says, 'Father, I know too little, I have to learn more as soon as possible.' Every time I think of those words, my wife wipes her tears, and I feel heartbroken when I remember them.
It’s unbearable.”
In the past, when Mrs. Zhou was still alive, she never treated the original owner harshly in terms of food and clothing.
But Mrs. Zhou was in poor health and lacked energy, so her upbringing was left to her daughter-in-law.
In addition, Mrs. Zhou loves her granddaughter too much. She thinks that her granddaughter is good at everything and raises her to be unruly and stupid.
The original owner's aunts openly flattered Mrs. Zhou, but they implemented a strategy of flattering and killing the original owner. After Mrs. Zhou's death, they stopped pretending, which led to the tragedy of the original owner.
Master Wu and Mrs. Wu had a long way to go, and they had no worries. When Mrs. Zhou died, the current situation coincided with the chaos, so she couldn't take care of anyone.
Mr. Wu clearly remembers the strangeness and alienation in his eyes when he went to Zhou's house to pick up his youngest daughter. At that time, she was already a time-traveled pear blossom.
What made him and Mrs. Wu even more distressed was that their little daughter was pale, frail, and occasionally coughed.
A twelve-year-old girl, she is so skinny that she falls over at a gust of weight. She speaks in a soft voice and gasps when she exerts herself. She is so diligent and sensible that it makes people feel distressed.
Master Wu and Mrs. Wu left the Zhou family's house and went directly to ask the doctor to see their little daughter. They found out that she had just been seriously ill.
In addition to their health, what worries them more is their little daughter’s mental state.
People look cheerful during the day, and Xiaoliwu smiles sweetly, only occasionally revealing a hint of something strange.
When she is not speaking, she is quiet. At a glance, the little girl in her teens seems to be calm after all the vicissitudes of life. She seems to have millions of thoughts that have passed away in the wind, and no one can know.
One night on the way back, Mrs. Wu had trouble sleeping. She went to check on her little daughter, but found that she was crying in her sleep and it was silent.
Mrs. Wu held her little daughter in her arms and cried with distress, and asked her what her dream was.
The little daughter was obediently nestled in Mrs. Wu's arms. This was the first time she was willing to hug Mrs. Wu back, but she shook her head and said nothing.
Their little daughter's health was fully restored after they took her back to the Wu Mansion, and her figure was only improved in the past three years.
Even my temperament has only become truly cheerful in the past few years, instead of pretending to be cheerful. My smile has regained its sparkle and is sweet to the heart.
Wu Dingbang and everyone in Wufu witnessed with their own eyes how hard Lihua worked. She got up early every morning and worked hard every moment, despite the severe cold and sweltering heat.
When Wu Dingbang talked about these past events, his eye circles were red and he couldn't help being excited.
It was precisely because they had seen their little daughter's suffering that Wu Dingbang and Mrs. Wu took the risk of being criticized by the world for being cold-blooded and alienated the sweet-hearted and bitter relatives of the Zhou family together, only showing courtesy.
Wu Dingbang was not afraid to talk about the past with the emperor. He only said that he had neglected his responsibilities and did not accuse the Zhou family of anything.
But why can’t Yu Chigong understand?
How could a girl who was pampered and cherished develop the shrewd and cautious temperament of a little thief, be independent, never think of relying on others, and do everything by herself.
Even though he accidentally got her identity wrong and left her in the desolate Tingli courtyard, where she was treated coldly.
She never gave up. She grew up tenaciously and had a bright smile. She was still the same cunning little thief in Qunfang Palace.
She didn't complain to him afterwards, nor did she take the opportunity to retaliate against the person who treated her coldly. She had to do everything on her own.
Yuchi Gong remembered the first time he saw her in the main hall of Jinghong Hall. She looked like a wandering orphan isolated from the world, with her eyes full of confusion and helplessness.
After hearing about Lihua's past, Yuchi Gong's heart felt clogged and throbbing in pain.
He didn't know what happened to the little thief, which made him hide his deep thoughts.
Having been in contact with her so many times, he couldn't even tell the slightest bit.
Now thinking back to the first sight of Jinghong Palace, Yuchi Gong began to realize that something was wrong.
He used to think that the thief was afraid because of his uncertain future, but later it turned out that the thief had been prepared and was able to escape without him.
So why do you show a fragile expression that is out of tune with the world and like an orphan?
Yuchi Gong raised his hand to summon someone and said: "Go and check the history of Wu Meiren in the Zhou family."
Wu Dingbang and Mrs. Wu only learned about their little daughter's life in the Zhou family through letters and had never really seen her.
Yuchi Gong wants to know what happened to her.
At this moment, he didn't think much, he just wanted to know what happened to her and get closer to her.
Only then did Yuchi Gong understand why she still didn't understand how well he treated her.
Because in this world, except for people from Wufu, no one has made her understand.
It took three years for the Wufu people to break open her heart.
The little thief has a natural defense against people. He is always on guard. If he wants to break her shackles, he needs to touch the real her.
He wants to see her and know what she is doing.
"Come here, show me to Zhuang Ning Palace."
