“We’ll just remind Uncle Feng; after all, she does not have as much control over the people in the residence as he does.” Zhou Ying asked troubledly, “But how do we remind him? We can’t just go and tell him, right? How do we explain the source of our news?”
“I’ll go and tell him, and just say that it’s a reminder. Uncle Feng isn’t stupid. He’s investigating everything that moves now.” Gu Chengrui answered.
“Alright, then you can go over tomorrow morning.”
After that, Zhou Ying checked the situation in various places through her interspace.
Once she was done, she looked at King Rui’s Residence and found Sun Miaoke’s personal maid, Qing Mei. She was a spy on the rooster.
Qing Mei was on night duty. Zhou Ying withdrew after searching her body and confirming that there were no dangerous things.
The next morning, Gu Chengrui finished his breakfast and turned to King Rui’s Residence. He reminded Uncle Feng of some things he should take precautions about and left.
He pointed out a few areas, such as drugs, cold food, blood circulation food, tripping and falling, and also emphasized catmint.
Uncle Feng, who was originally full of confidence, felt that he had been careless after hearing Gu Chengrui’s words.
Thus, he didn’t bother with the accounts and quietly rearranged the people around the residence.
One rainy day, Qing Mei was about to apply oil to Sun Miake’s shoes when Qing Tao caught her.
Uncle Feng wanted to arrest Qing Mei, but she bit a poison sac in her mouth and committed suicide.
Uncle Feng did not let out a sigh of relief and got even more vigilant; he also sent a letter to King Rui.
Three days later, after Zhou Ying taught Niu Deli how to keep tabs on their accounts, the people in the residence were finally relieved.
Just as she was about to bring Shizhu and Xiaxiang to her manor, King Hui returned to the capital.
Zhou Ying glanced at King Hui. He was bald at the moment, and his head had some burn scars. Looking at his solemn expression, she knew that he already knew what had happened in the capital during this period of time.
Zhou Ying didn’t pay much attention to him and rushed straight to her manor.
When they arrived at the manor, Zhou Ying got out of the carriage and walked into the fields with Shizhu and Xiaxiang.
Xiaxiang saw this and asked in surprise, “Mistress, are you really going to head into the fields?”
“Yeap. Planting melons and beans after the rainy season will reduce production if we miss this solar term.
“Can’t you see that my husband is also planting watermelon seedlings in the field? Let’s just help out as much as we can.” Zhou Ying quickened her pace as she said that.
When Shizhu saw this, she immediately followed.
Xiaxiang was put in a difficult position. Although she was a servant and had done heavy work before, it was her first time working under the sun.
She couldn’t understand why Zhou Ying, the wife of a third-grade official, had to go down to the fields to suffer.
However, no matter how unwilling she was, she followed for her mission’s sake.
Gu Chengrui saw her coming over and stood up. “Why aren’t you wearing a straw hat?”
“It’s okay. I’ll head back when it’s hot. What are you planting now?”
“Watermelon and pumpkins.”
“Let’s do it together.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she looked at Shizhu and Xiaziang and said, “If the two of you don’t know how to plant them, help me bring over the watermelon seedlings.”
“Got it, Mistress,” Shizhu responded, and she went to get them.
Xiaxiang saw that some women were helping water the watermelons and felt it was quite easy. She suggested, “Mistress, I’ll help you water the seedlings.”
“Alright, do whatever you want.” Zhou Ying responded and lowered her head to plant the watermelon seedlings.
After Xiaxiang walked away, Zhou Ying whispered to Gu Chengrui, “When we came out today, we bumped into King Hui, who had returned to the capital.
“I stole a glance and saw he was bald and still had some burns on his head. I wonder if he would be able to grow back his hair..”
