Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After coming out, the four of them went to another cloth shop next door to order bedding.
However, cotton was now costly. One pound of cotton was going for 500 coppers, so she only ordered ten bedsheets as a backup.
It was getting late after they left the store, and Gu Chengrui went straight to his office.
Zhou Ying brought the siblings to her new residence.
When Yang Chenglin entered, he ran to the rockery to look at the goldfish. Yang Wanning followed her around the courtyard and said, “This residence is really not bad. It’s much better than the Yang residence.”
“Oh, where is it that is better?”
“Size, first of all. The Yang Residence is just an ordinary three-entrance courtyard. There are no rockeries, gardens, or places for sightseeing.
“Another thing is that the buildings here are more magnificent and exquisite.”
“All, because we benefited from Princess Ping Yang. 1 heard that this was Princess Ping Yang’s dowry.”
“No wonder.” Yang Wanning nodded. After confirming that no one was nearby, she hesitated and said, “Zhou Ying, 1 feel that Mrs. Cui wants to spoil Chengling rotten, but no matter how much 1 try to persuade him, he won’t believe me. Can you help me come up with an idea?”
After hearing that, Zhou Ying turned to face her. For a brief moment, Zhou Ying was unsure whether Yang Wanning was truly out of ideas or if she was attempting to approach her to gain information from her.
After all, this was her second life. Zhou Ying did not believe that Yang Wanning could not come up with a solution to such a simple problem.
But Zhou Ying still answered, “As the saying goes, hearing is inaccurate, and seeing is believing.
“But 1 don’t think even seeing something with your own eyes is necessarily true.
“Therefore, you must find a way to guide him to discover the truth independently.
“Just like today, he didn’t believe we helped you order the dress, but didn’t he lower his head when confronted with the facts, witnesses, and evidence?”
Yang Wanning nodded but felt slightly bitter inwardly because the Cui ladies were utterly different in front of her and Chenglin.
She would have to put in more effort if she wanted to expose her.
Yang Wanning took a roll of banknotes from her sleeve and handed it to Zhou Ying. “Zhou Ying, I’m sorry to trouble you, but 1 need your help to keep these silver notes for me. The Yang Residence is not safe.”
“How much is this?”
“50,000 taels of silver; it’s the money my mother left for me.
“But recently, things had been very unpleasant because of the dowry.
“Mrs. Cui took this opportunity and asked me to train the dowry maids, so she sent six maids into my courtyard.
“I’m afraid they will find out 1 have this money. It won’t be easy to get back my mother’s dowry at that time.”
“You trust me that much? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll just take them?”
“I can trust you.
“Besides, you’ve saved me from two disasters in a row, so it’s only fair that I award you this silver.
“If you can use it, then use it.”
“Alright, just based on your words, 1’11 help you keep the money. But, you must know you can’t tell anyone about me helping you out.”
“Don’t worry; I know who is and isn’t my ally.”
Zhou Ying nodded and kept the silver notes. She threw them into the villa in her inters.p.a.ce under the cover of her sleeve.
After that, the two women chatted for a while. Zhou Ying looked at the time and gave Qiu Niang a few reminders before leaving.
After that, the siblings returned to the Yang Residence, while Zhou Ying returned to the Prince’s Residence.
She took a look at the pastries that Yang Wanning had brought over. There was jujube paste cake, osmanthus cake, pot helmet biscuits, and sesame sauce chips. All of them were splendid and cute, and it was a display of excellent dessert-making skills.
After taking out half of each, the rest was split between Granny Ma and the other two helpers.
After dinner, Gu Chengrui asked, “After 1 left, did Yang Chenglin make things difficult for you?”
