The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down

Xu Yao was eating a sesame cake while walking slowly on the road. She was now faced with two problems: how to trick Zhao Mingbo, the victim, and how to deceive Zhang and make her believe that she had no secrets.

Logically speaking, she was working for the young lady, so if there was a problem, the young lady should be held responsible. But the boss was the chairman's daughter, and when the boss made a mistake, the chairman would only feel sorry for his daughter, thinking that it was all instigated by the subordinates, not his own daughter.

Xu Yao dared to bet that if Zhang knew what she had done for Liu Moyan, she would definitely kill her. Just the fact that she had found out about the Second Prince's secrets and discovered the letters in which he had murdered his brothers and sisters was enough to kill her eight hundred times.

She suddenly realized that she was impulsive and shouldn't have handed the letter to Liu Moyan so easily. The Pei family might start investigating Liu Moyan.

She slapped her head, thinking how stupid she was, only thinking about making money and forgetting that other people were not fools and would not be so easy to mess with.

What to do, run away now?

No, in ancient times, the household registration and identity checks were very strict. She had to get a new identity first before she could escape.

Moreover...she thought of Chef Zhao. When she came to this world, she was lonely and helpless, but Chef Zhao helped her survive. If she suddenly disappeared, Chef Zhao and Quan'er would probably not have an easy life.

She had to find a way to redeem the man first.

Xu Yao was just thinking about it when he noticed Zhao Mingbo getting off the carriage. After he got off, he turned around to greet someone. The girl he supported was wearing a bonnet. With the breeze blowing, Xu Yao saw a beautiful lady.

The girl was gentle and lovely, with a pair of pearl-like eyes on her palm-sized face. Looking at the considerate Zhao Mingbo, she smiled faintly, and to outsiders, they were really a perfect match.

Xu Yao leaned against the wall, eating a sesame cake while looking at the shop they entered. Liucai Rouge Shop?

The couple spent a long time choosing things before happily leaving. They probably bought a lot of things, so the waiter even carried the packaging boxes and attentively walked them out the door and handed them to the coachman.

After everyone left, Xu Yao went into the store. The store was well decorated and quite large. In addition to rouge and powder, the store also sold some clothes and jewelry.

As soon as Xu Yao entered, the waitress came up to greet him attentively: "What would you like, lady?"

"My wife asked me to buy some rouge and powder, but I don't know what to buy. Do you have any recommendations?"

The waitress thought for a moment and said, "Look at this, ma'am. This is the new Moon Beauty from the store. It comes with three kinds of powder and two kinds of lip balms. It's very popular recently."

Xu Yao asked: "I saw the girl who just went out seemed to have bought a lot. Did they also buy this kind of things?"

The waitress smiled and said, "That lady is lucky. Her husband not only personally selected it for her, but also chose the most expensive set of rouge and powder in the store."

As he spoke, he pointed to a set of rouge in a prominent position. Xu Yao discovered that the ancients were no worse at doing business than modern people. The gift box sets commonly used in later generations were also available here, and they were made more exquisitely.

The small porcelain box for rouge alone has exquisite and colorful patterns on the outside, and everyone who sees it will love it.

A set of rouge colors, no less than five, also comes with an eyebrow pencil for drawing eyebrows and several red lipsticks.

"How much is it?"

The waitress laughed: "This price is a bit expensive, fifteen taels of silver per set."

The waitress was very friendly and didn't treat Xu Yao with any indifference because he was a servant. Even though Xu Yao was amazed at the high price, it was still comparable to the annual income of an ordinary family.

The waitress said, "Don't be surprised. The price is indeed expensive, but the effect of applying it on the face is incomparable to those ordinary rouges sold outside."

She talked incessantly about the advantages of the rouge, and Xu Yao took the opportunity to chat with her about the fake couple Zhao Mingbo. After finding out the information as he wished, he bought a set of rouge for five taels of silver and left.

After returning, Xu Yao did not go to see Liu Moyan immediately. Instead, he waited for a few days until Huang Ying woke up from her fright and followed him again, and then he took her to the rouge shop for a stroll.

Huang Ying followed Xu Yao for a few days and found that he was hanging around in different rouge shops. She went back and reported the matter to Zhang.

Zhang was stunned for a moment when she heard this: "She goes there every day?"

Huang Ying nodded: "It is absolutely true. I found that she is having a great time outside. She not only likes to go to rouge shops, but also clothing shops and preserved fruit shops."

Huang Ying wanted to exaggerate and describe Xu Yao as a bad girl who was lazy and gluttonous and wandered around everywhere, but she was young and tongue-tied, and could not put into words the evil spirit she had.

Zhang remembered that her youngest daughter suddenly pestered her to manage the shop, and what she gave her seemed to be the account book of the rouge shop.

So this girl went out to run errands and check the situation?

Huang Ying saw that Zhang was unmoved and wanted to say some more unpleasant words, but the nanny beside Zhang was impatient and asked her to leave first. When she left, she gave her a few taels of silver as a reward, and Huang Ying left happily.

Before leaving, he foolishly asked whether he should continue to follow me.

The nanny said that it was not necessary and asked her to go back to work. After the people left, she said, "From what I can see, the second lady is determined to figure out the business matters."

Zhang nodded and smiled: "As long as this girl is sensible, let her do whatever she wants."

"What about the fire-making girl?"

Zhang restrained her smile and looked at the tea in her hand. "She is just a fire-making girl. I was too concerned and thought there was a big problem. I have her indenture. If she dares to stir up any big trouble, don't blame me for being ruthless."

The nanny was frightened by her fierce look and lowered her head without saying anything.

When Xu Yao found that Huang Ying was no longer following him, he knew that his plan had worked. He then took the rouge set he had bought and went to see Liu Moyan.

Liu Moyan looked at the rouge in her hand, very confused: "Why are you giving this to me?"

Xu Yao explained the matter of Yanzhi and Zhao Mingbo clearly, and Liu Moyan immediately became excited: "I really saw someone. Who is that woman? Where do they live?"

She looked anxious, wishing she could catch the adulterer right away. Xu Yao sighed that this Madam Liu was really attentive to the eldest lady of the Pei family. She was more excited than the person involved in such a matter.

"In Maple Leaf Lane, my lady, please don't get excited. I have inquired and found that Zhao Mingbo doesn't go there often. We want to catch the adulterer and arrest him, so we can't be impatient."

After Xu Yao finished speaking, Liu Moyan calmed down as if she had been splashed with cold water. She was silent for a while before she said, "You're right. We can't rush this matter. We have to wait until the right time."

But when is the right time?

If this couple didn't show up, would they keep waiting? In two months, Pei Yike would be married.

Xu Yao waited until she calmed down before saying, "Madam, I heard that the concubine likes their jewelry the most. She will go every time there are new products. The store said that new goods will arrive in five days. Why don't you take people to catch the adulterer then?"
