Sinister Ex-Girlfriend

Chapter 166: The Legend of the Holy Mother in the Harem (8)

When Su Wan opened her eyes the next day, she found that she was back in Xin Zheku's small room, wrapped in a thick and warm tribute blanket.

"Miss Su, are you up?"

Aunt Bai's voice sounded just outside the room. Because Su Wan's room was at the innermost part of Xinzheku Courtyard and the location was remote, Aunt Bai was not afraid of others seeing her coming here.

"Mommy, please come in."

Su Wan folded the blanket and put it under the coarse quilt, and then slowly started to put on clothes. Xinzheku's slaves were all wearing the lowest common clothes, which were very harsh on the body. Fortunately, Aunt Bai had already been there. The clothes were tampered with. Although Su Wan's clothes looked the same as others from the outside, they were sewn with soft satin inside. This kind of deception was very common in the palace, so there was no need to spend time preparing it. .

Before Su Wan had put on her palace clothes, Aunt Bai had already walked in with toiletries: "Good morning, Miss Su. How did you sleep last night?"

Facing Su Wan, Nanny Bai kept her posture very low.

"Thank you for your concern, mama. I slept well."

Su Wan answered softly, and Aunt Bai glanced at Su Wan's bed. When she saw a corner of the blanket exposed under the quilt, her eyes changed and the smile on her face became more eager: "Girl, Xin Zheku The house is really shabby, let me help you wash it!"

"That's fine."

Seeing Aunt Bai fisting with such kindness, Su Wan naturally nodded.

In the harem, if someone fawns over you, it proves that you are doing well and are valuable. At this time, you must not refuse the overtures of others, because no matter what the reason is for rejecting others, it is very likely that you will Being misunderstood as "looking down on him" is a taboo in dealing with people in the harem. No one knows who will fall into despair in the next moment, and no one knows who will rise to fame in the next moment. Living in a deep palace, you can only make friends but never enemies.

In fact, Su Wan has done many tasks in the palace and has long been familiar with the way of life in the harem. She also knows that Wang Yi ordered Aunt Bai to treat her like this. If she doesn't give her this opportunity, I'm afraid she will Will you always feel uneasy?

Under Aunt Bai's service, Su Wan washed up briefly.

After finishing some work, Aunt Bai put away the things and looked at Su Wan again with a smile on her face: "Miss Su, what do you want for breakfast? There is a small kitchen at my slave's place. If you don't mind, I will cook it in person." Made for you.”

"I'm not too picky about food, mama. If someone comes over today and asks about me, do you know what to say?"

Su Wan sat on the wooden bed and looked at Aunt Bai with raised eyelids. Aunt Bai was a little embarrassed by her look. You said this little girl has beautiful features, but why is her eyes so penetrating?

"I know what to say, girl, don't worry!" Aunt Bai patted her chest and assured Su Wan again and again.

"Well, that's good, and..."

Su Wan squinted her eyes and whispered again: "If someone comes to intercede with me, don't agree to him if he doesn't have this number!"

Seeing Su Wan waving her palms, Aunt Bai couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Five, five hundred taels?"

She has never received so much money at once in all these years of working in this hard-working treasury!

Five hundred taels of silver was a huge expense for an ordinary palace maid, but Su Wan actually knew very well that Yan Yunuo's monthly salary was sent back to her hometown to her family.

Their family had so many children that it was very difficult for them to live, otherwise they would not have sold her to the Yan family as a maid.

Five hundred taels was an astronomical figure for Yan Yunuo, and the Holy Mother had to spend this money to save Su Wan.

So, now the question comes - what can she do to borrow five hundred taels?

Come on, Holy Mother Yan, I’m optimistic about you~

Just as Su Wan expected, Chen Ji arrived at Xinzheku with a smile on his face before the morning passed.

"Isn't this Eunuch Chen? What kind of wind brings you here?"

Although they are both in charge of each other, Shangfu Bureau belongs to one of the six bureaus and twenty-four departments. It is the department with real power. Compared with Xin Zheku, who is despised by thousands of people, it is absolutely in the sky and on the earth.

Therefore, when Aunt Bai saw Chen Ji, she immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Aunt Bai, am I not giving you some specialties from my hometown?"

Chen Jifeng raised his eyes and looked very charming. Aunt Bai on the side looked at Chen Ji's smiling face with a strange look on her face.

Eunuch Chen is also a strange person. He has always looked like a boy and a girl since he was a child. It is said that when he was a child, his family was poor and owed a lot of money to others. The creditor even took a fancy to him and wanted to take him back to be his wife!

Later I found out that he was a man, but the man didn't give up and actually took him home as a male waiter. At that time, Chen Ji was young but had a good idea, so he injured the man on the "bridal night". Afterwards, a man escaped in a hurry, just in time to select a chamberlain in the imperial city. In order to fear that the man would report him to the officials and put him in a cell, Chen Ji simply signed up and became a chamberlain in the palace.

When he first entered the palace, Chen Ji was often bullied because of his fair skin and comely appearance, but he remained silent and always stabbed people behind him. With these stabbings, he fell into the eyes of Manager Wang. Later, he was promoted to the position of manager of Shangfu Bureau.

Such experiences can only be observed, not copied~

"Aunt Bai, look at the Hotan jujubes that are very sweet this year."

Chen Ji ignored Aunt Bai's weird expression and put a small basket of jujubes into her hand. Aunt Bai smiled, raised her hand and picked up the inconspicuous jujube in the basket without leaving a trace. His purse shook, and he looked slightly embarrassed: "Hey, Eunuch Chen, I'm getting old now, and my teeth are not good. I can't eat dry, hard, or sweet food recently. Thank you for your kindness. This thing , you’d better take it back!”

"Um?"

Hearing what Aunt Bai said, Chen Ji's expression was startled. Before he said what he asked her to do, she simply refused. What did this mean?

"Aunt Bai, you are not giving the Za family face!"

Saying this, Chen Ji's face gradually turned cold.

"Hey, Eunuch Chen, don't worry, let's talk further."

Aunt Bai carefully pulled Chen Ji to the corner outside the door: "You should be here for that girl Su Wan this time, right?

"

"Exactly." Chen Ji nodded and couldn't help but glance at Aunt Bai: "Has anyone else been here?"

"This... don't worry about it. She is the person brought by Manager Wang himself. Manager Wang has repeatedly told her to discipline her well. I really don't dare to make the decision without permission! Unless..."

Speaking of this, the smile on Aunt Bai's face was somewhat meaningful.

Seeing her smile, Chen Ji immediately understood: "Don't go around in circles with the Za family. Let's talk about it!"

Chen Ji didn't care about money when he was helping others, and now he looked like he didn't care.

"Is this it, haha."

Aunt Bai smiled, raised her palm and fanned her face.

Seeing her actions, Chen Ji couldn't help but screamed: "Mother Bai, you are opening your mouth like a lion. Aren't you afraid of panicking?"

"hehe."

Aunt Bai just smiled brightly. Do you think she is willing? Isn't this what my aunt ordered?

Seeing that Aunt Bai just smiled and said nothing, Chen Ji frowned again: "This is the number, can't it be less?"

"Not a penny less."

Aunt Bai's face also became serious: "The risk you are taking this time is too great. Even if you get the money, I can only try my best to deal with it!"

Seeing the sincerity of what Aunt Bai said, Chen Ji could only nod his head: "Okay, I understand. I'll study it when I go back."

With that said, Chen Ji tightened the basket in his hand and left with small steps.

Looking at his back, Aunt Bai couldn't laugh or cry. This stingy man had brought all the jujubes, couldn't he leave two for her?
