Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Chapter 623 Selling Price 12

Liu Nanshi's face darkened, and her mood, which had just improved, instantly fell to the bottom.

It would have been fine if Zidong didn’t remind her, but once he reminded her, her heart bleeds!

The rare treasures in her house were all collected by her with great effort. Among them were some rare treasures that were secretly sent to the Mansion by dignitaries from outside in order to please her father.

Her father never accepted any gifts openly, but in private, it was actually her and her mother who accepted the good things.

She had kept all those rare treasures as her dowry. She locked the boxes layer upon layer, but it was no use keeping out thieves. In the end, they were all used to make wedding dresses for others!

She took a deep breath and regained her calm demeanor. "Why are you kneeling down? You didn't steal my silver. Get up quickly! Don't let people think I'm mistreating a servant. It's just a small amount of silver. If it's gone, it's gone. Go get another hundred taels from the chief steward."

Zidong secretly breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to go out to collect the silver.

Soon, she came back with the silver and gave ten taels to Mrs. Tian, and gave the rest to Liu Nanshi.

Liu Nanshi looked at the glittering silver and stood up to help Sang Mama, who was still kneeling on the ground, up. "Mama, why are you still kneeling? Hurry up and get up. You are old. Even in summer, you can't kneel on the ground for so long. The ground is too cold."

Nanny Sang was soaked all over, her back was bloody from being scalded by the boiling water, but she gritted her teeth and dared not say a word.

Liu Nanshi took a silver ingot and put it into Nanny Sang's hand: "It's not that I'm cruel, it's just that Nanny has always been a role model for the maids and servants. If you make a mistake, it would be unreasonable for me not to punish you."

"Madam, take this money and buy some supplements to nourish your body. Once you're well, I'll have to ask you to help me find Chu Yanluo!"

"Xiao Qingyuan is unreliable, but Nanny is well-informed and familiar with all sorts of people outside. It shouldn't be difficult to find him."

Nanny Sang held the heavy silver in her hand, but she did not feel any joy in her heart, because she felt that if she continued to serve Liu Nanshi, no matter how much silver she had, she would not be able to spend it!

Fortunately, she had found a backer in advance and had a new master, so she was not too panicked at the moment.

She endured the burning pain in her back and said against her will, "It was all because of me that I didn't take good care of the young lady, so it was only right that the young lady punished me. The young lady is kind and soft-hearted, and only gave me a slight punishment. If it were someone else's family, they would have kicked me out long ago."

Liu Nanshi smiled slightly: "It's good that Madam knows that I am soft-hearted. I trust Madam very much. Madam will not let me down, right?"

"This old slave is willing to die for the young lady!"

"Okay, Ma'am, I feel relieved with what you said. Ma'am, please give me another ten taels of silver and find Chu Yanluo for me first! I don't believe that a living person like her could disappear from the capital out of thin air. She must be hiding in the dark, plotting how to harm me!"

Nanny Sang took another ten taels of silver and turned away.

After leaving the Duke's Mansion, she did not go home to treat her burns or change her clothes. Instead, she turned several turns and entered an alley.

She walked to a vermilion door, looked around, and saw that no one was following her, so she knocked on the door with two long and one short knocks.

The door opened quickly and she walked in.

The sun was shining brightly, and the bluestone bricks in the yard were a little hot.

She knelt down, pulled out a piece of brown paper from her sleeve, and said respectfully, "Sir, this is a topographical map of the Grand Councilor's residence. I have marked several places that the Grand Councilor usually forbids people from approaching. Even the eldest lady is forbidden to enter those places. I believe there must be some big secrets."

A black shadow flew out from nowhere, took the brown paper from her hand, and flew back.

In the room, there was an extra piece of brown paper on the table in front of Gu Qianhan.

His indifferent voice echoed through the room: "This picture is of some use to me. What do you want to exchange it for?"

"I want to leave the Duke's Mansion and the capital safely."

"I've already promised you this, so it doesn't count towards this credit. You can make another request."

Seeing that he was so reasonable, Nanny Sang felt a lot more at ease. As long as he was not as vicious and cruel as Liu Nanshi, it would be fine.

She hesitated for a moment, then said cautiously, "Our eldest lady asked me to find Chu Yanluo, but I don't know where to find her right now. Could you help me find Chu Yanluo?"

Finding someone is easier said than done. Although she knows everyone, finding a Chu Yanluo is like looking for a needle in a haystack. After all, she is not a government official.

Moreover, Liu Nanshi only gave her twenty taels of silver, which was not enough.

Therefore, she had to take the opportunity to ask for help from her new master.

Gu Qianhan was not surprised by her request. He deliberately revealed to Liu Nanshi the fact that Chu Yanluo was reborn, just to let her seek revenge on Chu Yanluo.

"That's not difficult. Someone will send you a message tomorrow at noon. You can leave now."

Nanny Sang hadn't expected it to be so easy. She was immediately overjoyed. Now she could report to Liu Nanshi: "Thank you, young master!"

She stood up and turned to leave, but the black shadow flew out again and threw a bottle of ointment to her.

Nanny Sang was also a knowledgeable person. As soon as she saw the jade medicine bottle, she knew that this was not an ordinary ointment. When she opened it and smelled it, a strong medicinal fragrance hit her face.

She was surprised and delighted: "This is the Snow Cloud Cream used by the nobles in the palace! Thank you very much, sir, thank you very much!"

Xueyun ointment is an extremely expensive and rare burn ointment. After using it, it can not only greatly relieve the pain after burns, but also assist in recovery without leaving scars.

Liu Nanshi once got a bottle and treasured it like a treasure. Later, she was really scalded once. After using Xueyun ointment, within three days, the burned area was restored to its original state.

Nanny Sang didn't expect that she could also get a bottle.

She came here today without changing her clothes or applying any medicine, just to let her new master know that her life with Liu Nanshi was really difficult and she was in danger of losing her life at any moment.

As long as the new master is willing to save her life, she is willing to do anything.

Now it seems that the new master is a trustworthy person, and her life is saved!

She put the ointment in her pocket, kowtowed respectfully, and left.

Not long after she left, Jixiang came back.

He said with a smile on his face, "Sir, you guessed it right. Miss Liu sent someone to the Shen family to buy the painting! However, Miss Shen didn't sell it."

Gu Qianhan took a sip of tea and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Not sold? Why? Didn't she want to give the painting away?"

"Ms. Liu only offered ten taels of silver, but Second Miss Shen thought it was too little!"

"How much silver does she want?"

"One thousand taels!"

Gu Qianhan nearly spit out his tea: "One thousand taels?? She wants Liu Nanshi's life!"
