The next day, Ruyi still didn't mention the matter of silver, so Rong Pei could only take out five taels from her own share and go to the guard from yesterday.

The guard looked more resentful than yesterday. He had dark circles under his eyes and looked exhausted. He looked unhappy. He lowered his head and raised half of his eyes to look at people.

As soon as Rong Pei went over, the guard saw her coming and snorted through his nose. He was too lazy to open his mouth and let out a cow's cry from his throat.

Rong Pei was stunned and didn't understand what he was going to do.

Seeing how stupid this nanny is, I guess the master is not smart either. If he was smart, why didn't he take a penny yesterday?

The guard then opened his mouth impatiently, "Where's the money?"

Rong Pei handed the silver to him. The guard weighed it, put it in his arms, and then went out.

After an hour, the guard hurried back and only asked, "Who is your master looking for?"

Rong Pei was still waiting here. When she heard this, she became anxious and said, "惢心, the palace maid who married Imperial Doctor Jiang used to serve Concubine Xian."

The guard looked her over and said disdainfully, "Who are you trying to fool?惢心 is definitely not serving Concubine Xian. On my way to look for her, I ran into our captain, who told me that the emperor had already issued an order not to allow Concubine Xian to summon惢心 into the palace."

"How is that possible?" Rong Pei was horrified, "You must have gone the wrong way."

"How is that possible?" The guard was also shocked, "You must have said the wrong name."

Rong Pei said, "Then give me back the money."

The guard shook his head and said, "You and your master disobeyed the emperor's will. I haven't reported it yet. I did make a trip, but you actually want the money back?"

"The Queen asked you to bring惢心 into the palace, but惢心 didn't come. Why did you accept her?" Rong Pei was used to being rude, so she reached out to grab her.

"Then I can only report to the emperor that someone is disobeying his orders." The guard looked even more lifeless. He had been on duty for five consecutive days and had finally earned some extra money. He had already run away, but this man actually wanted the money back.

"How can your guard be so mercenary!" Rong Pei said angrily. She couldn't let the guard report it. The master was already worried enough. If there were more troubles, it would be inappropriate. But she was worried about her money.

"Madam, why are you so stingy?" The guard saw that the person had a tough attitude, but he was already afraid inside, so he said in a relaxed manner, "Take this money as the hush money your master gave me."

Rong Pei was so angry that she fell backwards. What kind of nanny is this? How can she be a nanny? She took a deep breath. Besides, this was not given by her master. This was her money, her money!

But the situation was stronger than she was, so she could only grit her teeth, glared at the guard and said, "Consider it my reward!"

The guard was grinning and touching the silver in his arms, ignoring her. After a moment, he looked at the empty place again, thinking that he had to be on duty tomorrow, his eyes turned into dead fish again, and his face was stern and he couldn't smile anymore.

*Yikun Palace

Ruyi also brought her eight pieces of armor and put on all the goodies, waiting for惢心 to come, intending to shock her, lest惢心, who was used to the Yongshou Palace, think that their Yikun Palace was not gorgeous enough.

When Rong Pei came back, she saw Ruyi sitting in the hall wearing the most gorgeous clothes, quietly shaking her feet and relaxing playfully.

Seeing that only Rong Pei was there, Ruyi asked in confusion, "Where is Suo Xin?"

Rong Pei said in embarrassment, "The guard said... the emperor has ordered that the master is not allowed to summon惢心 to the palace again."

Ruyi was very surprised.

Yes, after she summoned惢心 last time, but Yanwan called惢心 to go to Yongshou Palace, Ruyi found out and deliberately ignored惢心 for a while, making her loyal servant suffer day and night at home, crying all the time, hoping that she would summon her again.

Although the emperor's decree is not a secret, it is an extremely secret matter for the Yikun Palace, which is isolated from the outside world.

So, at this moment, Ruyi realized that the emperor had actually issued such an edict.

She was filled with doubts and confusion, thinking that the Emperor must have intended to make things difficult for her because of what Yuan had promised.

Ruyi's heart was filled with complex bitterness. She didn't know whether it was because the emperor was angry with her or if the emperor was only angry with her. Anyway, while she felt sour and bitter, there was also a hint of sweetness.

The book says that true love is always special.

So, Aunt Rong Pei's money was given away for nothing. Rong Pei wanted to bring it up, but when the word "Emperor" was mentioned, it seemed to trigger some kind of setting in Concubine Xian. She didn't care about anything anymore and only thought about her young man.

*Lan Cui sent someone to tell Yan Wan that she had found the girl. She also specially invited a painter to paint the girl's portrait and sent it to the palace for Yan Wan to see.

The message that Suoxin, Lan Cui and others delivered that day was Zuo Lu's request for a wife.

She must be an orphan, so that her daughter's marriage to Yanwan's brother would not cause her parents to worry day and night. Moreover, it is easier for a single woman to talk, so as to avoid the leakage of the following things.

She needs to be tough and aggressive to avoid being bullied by her mother and brother. She also needs to use the people in the house to keep a close eye on the other two.

She needed to be a little proud. She was looking for someone who could control the two of them and not be too greedy for money. She wanted to consummate the marriage and have children with her brother. Yan Wan had never planned to let Zuo Lu have a real wife, and she didn't need this girl to consummate the marriage and have children with him. Her brother was useless and didn't deserve to have children.

It would be better if he was stronger so that he could slap Zuo Lu in the face when he gets angry.

Next to it was Lan Cui's handwriting, which said that the woman's parents had both passed away, so the clan found her a job, which was not a good one, as she was a butcher, and was afraid that it would affect her marriage, but she did a great job, made some money, and had some reputation, so she had some strength. She also beat away the malicious person who had tried to matchmake for her and wanted to bully this orphan girl and take away her savings.

This girl's surname is Xi, and she chose her own name, Panshi. When she was a child and her family was still alive, she also had a nickname called Jiaojiao.

Attack the rock?

Yan Wan carefully looked at the eyebrows and eyes in the painting, and felt that the woman was extraordinary and definitely not an ordinary person.

Xi Panshi is eight feet tall, has a handsome appearance and looks very strong. Lan Cui has already asked this man about this, and he just said that my master has a request. He will give you silver and ask you to take care of the young master and the old woman living in the mansion.

Xi Panshi only said that she needed to meet her master first.

Yan Wan was in the palace and it was inconvenient for her to go out, and Lan Cui could only go to the palace alone and could not bring her maids. So Yan Wan sent her a letter, and Xi Panshi agreed after reading it.

Thus, Zuo Lu had a strong and capable master.

This Miss Xi can vent her anger by beating people up whenever she is unhappy, and it is a good job that pays her well.
