Chapter Forty: Putting Things in the Ancestral Hall

Xin Yuanwen and Zhang Yunhui had some feelings for each other. He couldn't bear her kneeling down at the Three Days Ancestral Hall like that, so she wanted someone to send her food quietly.

Unexpectedly, when the person delivering the meal arrived at the entrance of the ancestral hall, he was stopped by someone.

Of course the one who took the person was the nanny in the old lady’s yard.

The servant who delivered the meal said that the master asked him to deliver it, but no matter what she said, the nanny would not let him in. She also said that it was the old lady's order and she could not disobey it. If the master really wanted to deliver it, he could go to the old lady and tell him first.

.

There was nothing I could do to deliver food to the servants, so I had to go back again.

After Xin Yuanwen learned about this, he was helpless.

Since the old lady has sent people to guard her, he has no choice but to work hard for Zhang Yunhui.

When the old lady learned that Xin Yuanwen really sent people to deliver meals to Zhang Yunhui, she couldn't help but sneer.

She knew that her son was soft, and he was fascinated by that foxy boy!

Since she is determined to punish Zhang Yunhui, she must not let Xin Yuanwen interfere with it!

Xin Nianyan naturally knew these things, but she was just hungry. It was too cheap for Zhang Yunhui, so she still had to give her some gifts.

After a comfortable night's sleep, Xin Nianyan gave Xiao Zhu a piece of silver and asked her to go out to do errands the next day.

Hearing what Xin Nianyan asked her to do, Xiaozhu opened her mouth in surprise: "Miss, what are you doing with those?"

Xin Nianyan said: "You will know later, go ahead."

"Okay." Xiaozhu didn't ask any more questions and took the silver and left the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Xin Nianyan, on the other hand, tidied up and went to pay his respects to the old lady.

Although the old lady only felt guilty towards her, she did not do any substantial help when she was bullied by Zhang Yunhui and her daughter in her previous life.

But she should try her best to please her in this life, at least to have her on her side.

After all, in this Prime Minister's Mansion, the old lady is still the top one.

Xin Nianyan came to pay his respects to the old lady. There was no interference from Xin Rouer and Zhang Yunhui today, and the grandfather and grandson got along quite happily.

"Yan'er, what did the doctor say about the injury on your forehead? Will it leave scars?" the old lady asked softly.

Xin Nianyan smiled lightly and said, "The doctor said there might be scars, but my mother gave me a bottle of medicine and said that if I apply it every day, there will be no scars in the future."

When she heard Zhang Yunhui administering the medicine, the old lady frowned, thinking that Zhang Yunhui would be so kind?

But looking at the smile on Xin Nianyan's face, I guess there should be no problem.

But she still asked: "Have you asked a doctor to check that medicine?"

Xin Nianyan was stunned and shook her head: "No, mother won't harm me, right?"

The old lady sighed: "Silly boy, go back and let the doctor take a look at the medicine. If there is any problem, don't take it."

Xin Nianyan pretended to be frightened and nodded blankly: "I understand, grandma."

The two chatted for a while, and it was noon in the blink of an eye. Xin Nianyan went back after having lunch with the old lady.

After the lunch break, Xiaozhu came back, and there was a beggar with unkempt hair and rags who came back with her.

The beggar was holding a knotted sack in his hand, and something was squirming inside.

"Miss, I'm back and I've found what you asked for," Xiaozhu said.

Xin Nianyan nodded, and his eyes fell on the little beggar: "Put down your things, give him two taels of silver, and let him go."

"Yes, miss." Xiaozhu took two taels of silver and handed it to the little beggar.

The little beggar thanked him gratefully, put down his sack and left.

Seeing the sack moving around non-stop, Xiaozhu swallowed weakly and asked: "Miss, how do we get this thing?"

The lady asked her to spend the money to find someone to catch her. After she was caught, she didn't dare to take it back, so she had to ask the little beggar to help her bring it back.

Even now, even from a distance, seeing her still makes me feel numb.

Xin Nianyan curled her lips and said in a calm voice: "Call Chunxiang Chuncao."

"Ah? Oh, okay." Xiaozhu agreed and went out.

Soon I brought back the spring fragrance and spring grass.

Chunxiang Chuncao was seriously injured last time. Although she can go to the ground and do some work now, her face still looks not good and she looks very weak. Sometimes, even if she moves a lot, the injuries on her body will still hurt.

"Miss, you are looking for us."

The two of them lost their previous arrogance and stood in front of Xin Nianyan with their heads lowered and their voices thin and honest.

Since finding a doctor for them, Xin Nianyan has not taken care of them anymore. During this time, they were doing some chores in the yard and did not dare to approach Xin Nianyan.

Seeing them like this, Xin Nianyan was very satisfied. He pointed to the sack on the ground with his chin and said, "You two, find a way to put the contents in the ancestral hall tonight."

Their eyes fell on the sack, not knowing what was inside. Chunxiang subconsciously asked: "What is inside?"

"You will know it tonight. You can't let others know how it is done. Can it be done?" Xin Nianyan said calmly.

This was the first task Xin Nianyan gave them after they surrendered. How dare they refuse.

Even though they knew it was Zhang Yunhui in the ancestral hall, they still had to do it.

"Yes, we will definitely put it in the ancestral hall."

"It will definitely not be seen by anyone."

Both of them promised, and Xin Nianyan was satisfied.

After Chunxiang Chuncao went out with the sack, Xiaozhu said worriedly: "Miss, are they really reliable?"

"It's unreliable. We'll know tomorrow." Xin Nianyan looked at his nails, with an evil smile on his lips, not worried about Chunxiang Chuncao's little tricks at all.

*

In the blink of an eye, it was night, and Xin Nianyan came back from being eaten by the old lady. It was completely dark, and people in the mansion gradually fell asleep. Only a few servants were watching the night.

In the servant's room, Chunxiang Chuncao went out carrying the sack of things.

Not long after they left, Xiao Zhu and Xin Nianyan also followed.

Chunxiang Chuncao is very clever. Every time she encounters a servant on night watch, she can get away with it and arrive at the ancestral hall soon.

The two had already discussed how to put the things in in the afternoon. As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the ancestral hall and saw the old lady guarding the old lady in the yard, Chuncao picked up a basket and went up to talk to her.

"Mommy, I am from the young lady's yard. The young lady feels sorry for the madam and asked us to bring her some food. See if you can be accommodating."

Chuncao's words were ambiguous, and she did not say whether she was the eldest young lady or the second young lady.

The grandma subconsciously felt that the second young lady refused decisively without thinking: "No, the old lady said, no one is allowed to send food, you should go back."

"Mommy, please be accommodating. You see, Madam has been hungry for two days. If she continues to be hungry, she will probably be dead. By then, Miss will have no mother. She will be so sad." Chun Cao struggled with her.
