Chapter 116 The Third Peach Blossom
Chapter 116 The Third Peach Blossom
Danyu seemed so excited that Daiyu couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is your lover among those people? Why are you so happy?"
"Girl, what nonsense are you talking about!" Danzhi's face turned red as she explained hastily, "It's my brother. He has been selected to join the mansion! Now, we can see each other often in the future!"
Daiyu recalled the story in the original novel, in which Ruhua helped her brother hide money. Although in Daiyu's eyes, this was not considered a private transaction, it also exposed the negligence of the management of the Jia family's inner courtyard.
She couldn't help but think deeply about it.
The maids all lived in the same room, so it was inconvenient to put some of their personal belongings there. Rather than causing problems in the future, it would be better for her to find a way to solve this matter once and for all.
She reminded Danzhi, "Since you and your brother are both in the mansion, you should be open when you meet. Don't hide anything, or people will see and gossip about you."
When Danyu heard Daiyu's words, the smile on her face gradually faded and she replied, "Yes, young lady."
"Okay, help me call Huang Yongjin first, and then go to rest. I won't go out, and you don't have to follow me. Just relax. I'll come to you if there's anything." Daiyu yawned and waved her hand to signal the two to go out.
Although Lixiangyuan was guarded by Daiyu's people, Daiyu had to keep her nerves tense when she was at Jia's house. Now that she was back home, her nerves were relaxed and she couldn't help feeling a little sleepy.
When Huang Yongjin walked into the room, he saw Daiyu alone, with her head supported by one hand, nodding her head, as if she was dozing off.
However, when he approached, Daiyu suddenly opened her eyes, glanced at Huang Yongjin blankly at first, but quickly focused.
"Now that you're here, please sit down!" Daiyu said, pointing to the embroidered cushion beside her.
Huang Yongjin did not feel uncomfortable sitting on the small embroidered cushion. He used to sit on the floor, but now he felt very comfortable having an embroidered cushion.
Before Daiyu asked, Huang Yongjin was about to start reporting what Daiyu had asked him to do, but Daiyu interrupted him with her hand.
She looked at Huang Yongjin's puzzled expression and asked a seemingly irrelevant question: "Are you used to living in the Lin family?"
Huang Yongjin said without hesitation: "The Lin family is doing very well!"
Daiyu nodded and asked in a tempting tone: "Are you willing to be loyal to me forever?"
"As long as the master doesn't trample on me or my family."
"it is good!"
Seeing that both of his answers came from his heart, Daiyu smiled with satisfaction and then took out a cowhide scroll from behind her.
But Huang Yongjin noticed that there was a hint of heartache hidden in Daiyu's smile.
"Come, stretch out your hand and place it on this scroll." Daiyu unfolded the leather scroll, revealing the ghostly symbols inside. "I'll ask you again, I am willing to treat you as my right-hand man, treat your family well, and respect your personality, and are you willing to offer all your loyalty and never betray me?"
"I do!" Huang Yongjin said firmly.
As his words fell, the dagger in Daiyu's hand also fell.
Huang Yongjin only felt a pain in his finger, and a drop of blood fell on the cowhide, but miraculously disappeared into it without leaving any trace.
Then, the cowhide scroll spontaneously combusted without fire, turned into a wisp of green smoke, and merged into Daiyu's body.
"You...you you!" Huang Yongjin stuttered, unable to speak clearly. He had heard of the story of the White Lotus Sect, could it be that he had encountered a charlatan?
Daiyu felt the subtle connection in her heart, and the expression on her face became even more joyful.
She didn't want to scare this "simple and honest" man, so she explained to him: "Don't worry, this is not a fatal thing. Try to imagine that you want to stab me."
"I dare not!" Huang Yongjin felt that this idea was very dangerous and resisted this idea from the bottom of his heart.
"Be brave! I'm just imagining it, not asking you to do it. I just want you to see something magical, I won't blame you!" In fact, it was also Daiyu's first time to use the contract scroll, and it cost her 500 points! She felt distressed!
"Okay!" Since the girl said so, Huang Yongjin had to bite the bullet and imagine it. Of course, stabbing the girl with a knife was definitely impossible, how about changing it to slapping her?
However, just as this thought came to his mind, he felt a sharp pain in his heart. He covered his chest, and his whole body was bent like a cooked shrimp in pain.
Seeing Huang Yongjin's reaction, Daiyu couldn't help feeling disappointed. She had thought that this idea of betraying his master would lead to an even stronger backlash!
"Girl, what is going on?" Huang Yongjin waited until the pain subsided and immediately realized that this must be related to the girl's previous instructions, and the girl knew about it!
Daiyu explained: "I thought you would be in pain for a long time for betraying your master like this, but I didn't expect it to be so mild."
really!
Huang Yongjin secretly thanked his intuition and felt helpless about Daiyu's prank: "Fortunately, I was just thinking about slapping the girl. If I really wanted to stab the girl, I'm afraid I would be in so much pain! Girl, you should have warned me in advance!"
Daiyu's eyes lit up immediately when she heard this: "Really? What are you afraid of? As long as you stop thinking about it in time, the pain will soon pass!"
Huang Yongjin felt it and found that the tingling sensation had disappeared without a trace.
He said excitedly: "Girl, if we have this good thing, we can give it to those high-ranking officials. In this way, we can control them. Why do we need to arrange people and work hard to fight for it?"
Daiyu rolled her eyes at him and said, "Do you think this stuff is plentiful? It's expensive and hard to come by! This one cost me... 100,000 taels of silver! It's still hard to come by, so tell me if it's rare or not!"
Huang Yongjin listened to Daiyu's deception and thought that Daiyu must value him very much since she was willing to spend such a valuable thing on him. He also completely forgot that this was actually a contract scroll used to restrain him from betrayal.
However, his idea was not wrong. If he was really like Hu Jiakang, a person whose ideas were incompatible with Daiyu and who was very conceited, Daiyu would not have spent 500 points to buy this scroll to use on him.
With this layer of protection, Daiyu spoke more casually: "Come, tell me about the progress of the mission these days!"
Huang Yongjin suppressed his inner throbbing and began to report the tasks assigned to him by Daiyu in an orderly manner.
After listening to his report, Daiyu gave new instructions: "Go contact the young master of Lingxiao Escort Agency. As for the power distribution and force value of each escort agency in Shenjing City, no one around us knows better than him."
"But he seemed very interested in Honglian's identity." Huang Yongjin said hesitantly.
Daiyu looked at him with a smile, secretly wondering, could this be Honglian's third peach blossom?
