Oh no! Seven kids at the start, all yellow and skinny.

Chapter 434 Tell the young lady once

The Imperial Palace, the Leisure Palace.

The deaf-mute old woman silently gestured to Zhao Xinyou, her once dry eyes now sparkling.

"Really?" Zhao Xinyou's eyes lit up after reading it, and she lowered her voice, "All the things in the palace have been moved out?"

The deaf-mute old woman nodded: "Overnight, everything was gone, especially the emperor's bedroom, which was now just four walls."

Zhao Xinyou laughed, but didn't make a sound. Had she angered some deity? Good, it would be best if they took the entire palace away.

The two deaf-mute old women exchanged a glance, then one of them went to the door, while the other approached Zhao Xinyou and handed her a note and a small purse.

Zhao Xinyou took the note, looked down at it, and then opened her purse. Inside was a stack of silver notes, but the denominations were not large, only ten or twenty taels, totaling two hundred taels. Tears instantly streamed down her face. She looked up at the deaf-mute old woman and said, "It's Ahua. She's come to the capital."

The deaf-mute old woman nodded: "She has a conscience."

With this money, their lives will be a little easier.

Although the Emperor often came here, this place was still similar to the Cold Palace. Although the food and clothing were quite good, there were no rewards. If you wanted to do anything extra, you needed money. Without money to tip, no one would help you.

Now that Hua Niang has given her two hundred taels of silver, although it's not much, it has greatly relieved her predicament.

No. 1 Dongfengli.

Yun Luoyu, also known as Qiuxing who loves embroidery, brought tea and snacks and knocked on the door to enter Huamanlou's room: "Mom, here are the lotus flower pastries and Da Hong Pao tea you ordered."

"You're really quite skillful." Hua Manlou ate a lotus-shaped pastry and drank a cup of tea. "If you're no longer here in the future, you could open a tea shop."

"I want to open an embroidery shop. I prefer embroidery to making pastries."

"Hehe." Hua Manlou laughed, "You really are a persistent girl."

"Of course." Yun Luoyu smiled proudly, then lowered her voice, "The silver has already been sent in, through the mute old man who transports night soil."

"Isn't two hundred taels too little?" Hua Manlou grabbed Yun Luoyu's hand excitedly. "Should we send some more in?"

"Mom, too much will only cause trouble. Two hundred taels is just right. We'll give it to you when we have another chance."

Hua Manlou sighed: "Yes."

“Um…” Yun Luoyu suddenly hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

"What do you want to say?"

"Mom, I was thinking, should we tell Miss? I think if she gets involved, it will be easier for her than for us, and maybe she can even rescue that person."

"I've thought about it, but the implications are too great, what if..."

"Mom, why are you so confused?" Yun Luoyu patted Hua Manlou's hand, turned around and looked around at the door, then closed the door and sat down next to her. "Is our young lady someone who's afraid of being implicated? Besides, the reason we're willing to follow her is precisely because she's fearless. Think about it, how many of those people from Longxi have ever gotten away with anything from her? Even Bai Wu was defeated by her. And the Xiao family is with her too. Isn't the former crown prince's affair even bigger than that one? Is she afraid?"

Hua Manlou frowned.

“Mom, with our abilities, we really… can’t get justice for that person, or even save her.”

"Let me think about it, let me think about it carefully." Hua Manlou waved his hand.

Yun Luoyu then got up and left the room.

Hua Manlou agonized over it all night, and came out the next morning with huge dark circles under his eyes.

"Mom, did you go steal chickens last night?" Yun Menglan exclaimed. "Or were you having trouble sleeping alone?"

"You damned Bitao, what are you saying?" Hua Manlou slapped the other person.

"Mom, my name is Yun Menglan now. I love my name so much. Let me tell you, Bitao from Ruanxianglou won't have to roll her eyes at me anymore." Yun Menglan sighed as she spoke, "It's just a pity we've separated and we'll never see each other again. Otherwise, she would be so jealous of me."

"Alright, I'm not going to argue with you anymore. You guys need to hurry up and rehearse. The opening is in a few days, so don't ruin the young lady's reputation."

"Don't worry, we're all serious," Yun Menglan said, raising her voice. "Right, sisters?"

"Yes," they answered in unison.

Hua Manlou laughed: "I knew you guys would be sensible. Let's continue."

"Mom, where are you going?"

"I'm not going anywhere. I'm going back to catch up on my sleep. I didn't sleep well last night." Hua Manlou said as he walked upstairs. Luo Yu was right. They should tell the young lady about this. Maybe things will turn around.

"Mom, do you need to find a man to warm the bed?"

"piss off!"

"Haha."

……

Zhou Jinghan will definitely leave the capital, but Yunyi's man can't leave. So, this problem is a bit tricky, and someone needs to pretend to be Zhou Jinghan and stay by Yunyi's side.

However, the people in the capital all look quite different from Zhou Jinghan. The only one who is relatively close is Feng Yang, but he is Zhou Jingyu's bodyguard and was here to escort the children. He will be returning soon, so if he stays...

"Let Feng Yang stay," Zhou Jinghan finally decided. "Second Brother still has Feng Bo by his side, and there are monkeys and wolves in the village, so there won't be any problems."

"Oh right, I had forgotten about it if you hadn't mentioned it. What about the 20th?" Yunyi remembered the little tiger only after hearing the other person mention the monkey pack and wolf pack.

"If it were to enter the city, it would cause a sensation in Chujia Village."

Yunyi nodded, then sent Yunlu to call a carriage and to withdraw silver from the accounting office. She wanted to take the men and children shopping and then go for a stroll in the suburbs in the afternoon.

Although she no longer uses the main gate of the Earl's Mansion, all her expenses still need to be covered by the Earl's Mansion, after all, she is still the eldest daughter of the Earl's Mansion.

Yunlu returned quickly. The carriage was ready, but the accountant was out of money, so they withdrew ten taels.

"Even a mosquito's leg is meat," Yunyi said without hesitation. "Let's go."

Upon exiting the alley, I saw the Earl's carriage, but the coachman...

"Why are you here to catch the carriage?" Yunyi looked Fang Xiao up and down. "Aren't you a guard?" She was the head of the guards.

“The Earl’s mansion has dismissed some servants, and now only one coachman is left, mainly to wait for the Earl’s instructions. If the others want to go out, they either have to rent a carriage or drive themselves.” Fang Xiao scratched his head. “Knowing that the eldest young lady and… the young master and young master’s son-in-law were going out, I took this job.”

“Not bad.” Yunyi nodded, then led the men and children into the car. “Let’s go to Jinlu Pavilion first.”
