The time-traveling lady is too fierce
Chapter 170 Stealing the Confession
"Master, I have checked the batch of silk that will be sent to the palace tomorrow. You can go in and have a rest." His name is Wei San. He has worked in the Xu family for many years. He has always been the one who took care of the tribute sent to the palace.
"This batch of tribute satin is extremely precious, but it took several months to be transported to Kyoto. It is specially presented to the Empress and the Imperial Concubine. There cannot be any problems. You have to have someone keep an eye on it." Grandpa Xu couldn't sleep, so he came over to take a look at the tribute that was to be sent to the palace.
"Master, please rest assured that I will do the job. When have we ever made any mistakes? You don't have to worry this time. Our Xu family is the biggest family in the palace! I have also taken care of the people in the palace. They all put our Xu family's things first and take good care of them!" Wei San is in charge of matters entering the palace and he doesn't worry about anything else.
"You should take care of the people in the palace, and save money elsewhere. The people in the palace are all snobbish, and you will get into trouble if you fail to answer one question correctly. Okay, you should pay more attention. The main reason is that this batch of tribute satin is too precious, and I am afraid something will go wrong." In a few months it will be the most important Fengling Festival. That is the time when the ladies in the palace compete for beauty, and this batch of tribute is very important.
Fengling Festival was the annual beauty pageant in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The ladies in the palace naturally had to dress up to be the most beautiful. On that day, the princes and ministers would bring their families to the palace, and all the girls of marriageable age would get married on this day. Therefore, the tribute satin was in short supply, and the best ones were naturally sent to the palace.
"Master, Madam Wen has urged you several times to go back to bed." Madam Wen is Master Xu's seventh concubine, and now she is the most favored! She gave birth to a pair of twin sons for Master Wen, who are four years old this year.
"I'll go right away. Let her wait for me in the room." Master Xu liked this Concubine Wen very much. She was a typical Jiangnan beauty, soft-spoken, fair-skinned, and beautiful. She also gave birth to two sons for him. This made Master Xu even more pleased.
You have to know that Mr. Xu is almost 70 years old. How can he not treasure such a beautiful concubine?
Master Xu turned back to his room and saw Madam Wen sitting in front of the dressing table. She was wearing a light pink brocade dress with exquisite patterns embroidered on the hem, and her long black hair fell down her back like a waterfall.
Madam Wen heard the voice and turned around with a gentle smile on her face. "Master, you are back." She stood up, walked gently to Master Xu, and took off his coat.
Master Xu held Madam Wen's hand and said with a smile, "You always rush me. Today's affairs have been dealt with. You can rest assured and have a good rest now."
Madam Wen nodded, with a hint of worry in her eyes. "But this batch of tribute satin is so precious, what if something goes wrong..."
Master Xu comforted him, "Don't worry, Wei San has always been reliable. Besides, our Xu family has connections in the palace, so there won't be any big problems."
Madam Wen frowned slightly, "It's better to be careful. The struggles in the palace are complicated, we can't take it lightly."
Master Xu patted her hands and said, "Okay, don't think too much. You have to get up early tomorrow, so go to bed early." The two walked to the bed together, undressed, and prepared to go to bed.
Li Qiuge looked at Master Xu's disgusting appearance and said, "He is already so old, but he still married several concubines. I don't know if they were forcibly taken away. He is so shameless at his age."
"Don't look at me like that. I'm not that kind of person. I'm content to have you as my wife." Ye Hanyu didn't expect that Li Qiuge would give him an advice at this time.
From here on, Li Qiuge called Shi Dalang by his real name, and would consider whether to continue calling him Dalang after returning to Yundu City.
Li Qiuge and Shi Dalang sneaked into the room where the tribute satin was placed.
"I'll use the sleeping pills to knock these people out first," Li Qiuge said as he scattered a handful of sleeping pills.
The products of this space must be high-quality. After a while, the group of people fell to the ground.
Li Qiuge and Shi Dalang entered the room and opened the boxes of tribute satin one by one. This is really worthy of being a tribute! It is really beautiful! Li Qiuge touched it with her hand! It is really soft. The craftsmanship of the ancients is really exquisite!
Seeing Li Qiuge's reluctant look, Shi Dalang quickly pulled her sleeve and whispered, "Hurry up, it will be troublesome if you are discovered."
Li Qiuge nodded, took out a small bag from her arms, and sprinkled the powder evenly on the tribute satin. Then, she took out some ordinary silk from the space and put it in its original position.
"Okay, it's done!" Li Qiuge clapped his hands happily.
Such good fabric should be kept in her space and taken out when the opportunity arises.
After doing all this, Li Qiuge and Shi Dalang didn't waste any more time and climbed out of the Xu family's yard. When they left, Li Qiuge didn't forget to sprinkle some powder on the group of people to make them forget this memory.
"This is just my appetizer for the Xu family. I still have my ultimate trick up my sleeve!" Gong Duan was so valuable, but now it's replaced by a defective product. The Xu family will definitely be punished, and it's even possible that the entire family will be confiscated.
If the whole family's property was really confiscated or they were exiled, Li Qiuge would never let them have an easy life. Don't blame her for being cruel. Her father is the only one left in her grandfather's family. She doesn't have the heart to sympathize with others!
The next day, the Xu family happily transported the tribute satin to the palace. However, when the queen and the imperial concubine saw the tribute satin, their faces suddenly turned gloomy.
"What kind of tribute satin is this? The quality is so poor!" said the queen angrily.
The master of the Xu family was immediately panicked. He quickly explained: "Queen, calm down. This must be a mistake made by the people below. I will check it out immediately."
But at this time, the imperial concubine on the side sneered and said, "Humph, Master Xu, your Xu family has always been the first choice for the palace to supply satin. How could such a mistake happen this time? Did you deliberately deceive me and the queen? I give you three days to quickly deliver the work to me, otherwise you know..."
The master of the Xu family was sweating profusely, realizing the seriousness of the situation. Not only might he lose the trust of the royal family, he might also face severe punishment. He quickly sent someone to ask Wei San about it, but found that Wei San and the people guarding the tribute satin had lost their memories and knew nothing about what happened last night.
When the Xu family was in dire straits, Li Qiuge and Shi Dalang secretly observed all this, planning their next move and determined to make the Xu family pay for what they had done.
The master of the Xu family was extremely anxious and decided to offer a reward to find someone who could solve the problem. The news quickly spread throughout the capital, attracting the attention of people from all walks of life.
After learning about this, Li Qiuge contacted the Xu family anonymously, saying that he could help them find the real Gongsatin. The master of the Xu family was overjoyed and quickly invited Li Qiuge to discuss the matter.
