Chapter 102: Protection Fee
Only when Du Yueniang walks out of this Cuiyuxuan can she have the opportunity to approach Du Hua, and then find opportunities to obtain key evidence, help Su Muwan, and report him once.
But after hearing his words, Du Yueniang shook her head and looked worried.
"Even if I'm not crazy or stupid, how could An be willing to let me go out here? Now she has the full control of the backyard of the prefect's mansion. My confidants and maids have been sold by her and are driven away. Although I am willing to help you, it's really hard to hear the sound of a single hand alone!"
But what she was talking about was a problem. Qingfeng lowered her head and tried hard to think about how to shift An's eyes away from Du Yueniang.
As he thought about it, Qingfeng suddenly felt a small porcelain bottle on his waist. The small white porcelain bottle hung on him. When others saw it, they only thought it was a decoration and would not think too much.
Only he knew that it was the itchy powder he had previously configured according to Su Muwan's instructions. With this, he had a way to make An unable to take care of himself and could not concentrate on Du Yueniang.
"Don't worry about this, I have my own way. But if you have a madness, you need an opportunity to get rid of it, otherwise others will probably suspect that you were pretending before."
The breeze said slowly, giving people a feeling of confidence.
He had already paid attention to this, but there were some things he wanted to discuss with Su Muwan outside the mansion before making a decision.
"What opportunity is needed?"
Du Yueniang frowned, a little puzzled.
Qingfeng attached herself to her ears and told her her plan in full.
As he listened, Du Yueniang's eyes began to lit up, as if a traveler in the desert finally saw some water.
"Okay, then I'll do what you said. As long as I can deal with that pair of dogs, I will pay no hesitation at all costs!"
She said firmly, her thin face full of determination, but as soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't stop coughing, and it seemed very painful.
Qingfeng saw that her face turned pale and knew that her body was very weak. After thinking about it, she took out a small bottle of pills from her body and handed it to her.
"What is this?"
After taking it, Du Yueniang was a little confused. As soon as she opened the bottle cap, she smelled a strong fragrance of elixirs from inside.
"I think your body is not very good. This kind of Rongshen pill is very warm and is most suitable for conditioning your long-term damaged body. In the future, you can take it with water after three meals a day. The effect is the best. If you take it for ten days and half a month, you won't feel as uncomfortable as you are now. However, this bottle of medicine is still weak. If you have the chance, I will prepare other things for you."
Qingfeng carefully explained to her that this Rongshen pill was originally prepared by him. Before, in Heifeng Village, he had taken some medicine to suppress his growth for a long time, which would cause some damage to his body.
So I specially configured this for myself according to the methods of body modulation that his father taught him before. I have been eating along the way with Su Muwan, and now it has been very effective.
Although it was not specially configured for Du Yueniang, this medicine is still very beneficial to her body, so Qingfeng simply took it out.
Hearing Qingfeng say this, Du Yueniang lowered her head and couldn't see the expression on her face. In a flash, a drop of crystal tears rolled down to the ground.
"Thanks."
Qingfeng knew that she might have thought of her son again, so she could only sigh in her heart.
"Madam Du, please beg for the change. In fact, my experiences are similar to yours. My family of people died in front of me with their own eyes. I had thought of just dying, but I was unwilling to accept it. Mo Xin tasted gall for a few years. Finally, with the help of my Lord, he could see the death of his enemies with his own eyes to comfort their spirit in heaven."
"What I want to tell you is that no matter what, you should take care of your own body, otherwise if you really fall down, it will be the enemy's hatred and the pain will soon."
Du Yueniang nodded with tears in her eyes.
Qingfeng glanced at the rice basket on the table, and the dishes inside were invisible. No wonder Du Yueniang was so thin that she was a little disfigured.
“Is this how they deliver every time they deliver?”
Du Yueniang smiled bitterly, "The An family is now in charge of the government's central gifts, and has bribed many people to make things difficult for me everywhere. It is not strange that everyone below took the opportunity to step on me when they see the situation."
She had long been used to eating one meal, starving for three meals, and not even having a cotton coat all year round. Anyway, she was already in a state of desolation, and even if she suffered any pain, she could not feel it.
Qingfeng thought about it and took out a small package from his arms. It was a few snacks that Su Muwan had stuffed from the carriage when she came.
"Madam Du, you eat these first. I'll find an opportunity to give you some food."
Du Yueniang opened the cloth and it was the flower cake that Xiao Liu and Qingfeng had bought for Su Muwan before. She picked up a piece and stuffed it into her mouth with big mouthfuls.
This flower cake used to be her favorite snack. She sent her servants to the dim sum shop every day to queue up to buy the freshest ones, but since Feng'er died, she has never had the chance to eat it again.
Seeing her sweet food, Qingfeng felt a little happy.
At this time, the sound of opening the door suddenly came from outside the yard. Du Yueniang immediately put away the snacks, hid them on her body, and even booed to Qingfeng and said softly.
"This is the person An's usual group sent to take care of me. Be careful and don't show off your flaws."
Then she rubbed her hair and started shouting at Qingfeng again.
"It's you, you killed my child. Pay me your life and return my child to me..."
Seeing her actions, Qingfeng knew what she meant, and pretended to be scared and stumbled out of the house.
He kept shouting, "I'm not! You recognized the wrong person..."
It was not until he closed the door with his backhand and locked it up again, and then he leaned against the door with a look of shock, gasping for breath.
In the room, Du Yueniang was still slapping the door, shouting that she wanted someone to pay her child's life, her voice a little miserable.
The one who came to see Du Yueniang was a triangular maid. She was not surprised to see Qingfeng like this. After all, anyone who came to deliver food on weekdays would have to make a fuss like this.
Even several maids sent by An were caught by her, which made almost no one willing to come now.
"Hey, you are new, right? Why did you leave this hard work to you? Have you offended someone?"
Qingfeng pretended to see her, her face was still a little pale, and she spoke timidly.
"This sister, I am Xiaofeng, who just entered the mansion today. Chef Huang in the kitchen asked me to deliver the meal. Who knew that as soon as I put the meal down, she started chasing me."
The maid with triangle eyes smiled disdainfully.
"You are still lucky. There is no injury on your body. In the past, who came to deliver food and didn't have any color on your body. The madman here is simply unreasonable."
Qingfeng stood up straight and walked towards her, "Sister, are you the only one watching her in Cuiyuxuan? How boring should it be!"
"No, I deserve to be unlucky. I have to take on this chore and guard her in this broken house every day. I am so annoyed."
Qingfeng laughed, with a flattering expression on her face.
"Then I'll come to deliver food in the future, so I'll talk to you for a while. I've heard a lot of interesting things outside before."
"Really! That's great!"
The maid shouted in surprise. Although she would look for others to talk to whenever she had the chance, she would spend most of her time watching Du Yueniang here.
Last time, I didn't watch her for a while and asked her to go out to disturb An's guest. I was fined for several months and got beaten with a few strokes. Now my butt is still hurt.
Now when I see someone willing to talk to her, I am naturally very happy and there is a smile on my face.
"But now I have to go back to the kitchen quickly, otherwise Chef Huang will scold me again later. He said that there are guests in the mansion to entertain, and the master has orders, so he must not be neglected. I really don't know what kind of distinguished guests can have such a great face?"
Qingfeng pouted and said very pitiful. When he talked about the distinguished guest, he showed a very curious expression on his face.
"Oh, it's not the merchants who come to our mansion every month. They have to come at the beginning of the month and at the end of the month, which is not a strange thing."
The little maid said disapprovingly that all the servants in the mansion knew about it, and only Qingfeng, a newcomer, would be curious.
"So that's the case. Sister, you know a lot. But these businessmen don't do business well, so why do you come to our master to do?"
Qingfeng looked at the little maid with admiration and admiration, and made her look proud. In order to show her ability in front of Qingfeng, she looked around and spoke in a low voice.
"I'll tell you, these merchants are here to send protection fees to our adults. I heard this by chance when I went to deliver vegetables. You must not tell others, so as not to cause trouble."
After hearing what she said, Qingfeng nodded repeatedly with a terrified expression on his face.
"Don't worry, sister, I will definitely not tell anyone. I'll go back to the kitchen first. When I come to deliver the meal in the evening, I'll see if I can bring you some delicious food."
After hearing this, the little maid with triangular eyes smiled and said, "Okay, remember I like to eat some sweet food, just bring me some sweet snacks, don't forget."
After Qingfeng said goodbye to her, she left Cuiyuxuan's door. The smile she had just now disappeared, with only a deep thought.
Protection fee?
Is this recorded in the list written by Du Hua mentioned by the princess? This is a key clue, and you must find a way to tell her.
Qingfeng was sure to find an opportunity to go out of the back door, and let the people at the back door pass the news to Su Muwan.
