Chapter 129 The Cold-blooded Supervisor of the East Factory vs. the Vicious Aunt in the Deep Palace
The door of the Song Mansion was closed. She scratched her head for a long time before she finally remembered to look at her reward card panel.
[Life-saving card x5, fair skin and beautiful appearance x1, immunity to all poisons x1, hallucination card x2, amnesia card x1, invisibility card x2, perspective card x1. ]
The Song Mansion is holding a banquet today, and there are many people and a lot of things to do. It should be easy to get close to a washerwoman.
“Is there a time limit on the stealth card?”
System: Can only be used once. As a super-realistic card, the invisibility card has a usage time of only twenty minutes.
Twenty minutes, getting in is no problem, the problem is how to get out after showing up.
Forget it, let’s go in first.
Yingsi walked along the wall and reached the back door, which was specially for servants to enter and exit. It was not on the main street and there were few people there.
After making sure that no one was around, she silently called out, "Use the stealth card."
System: The stealth card is in use, and the timer begins.
After a while, when I looked at my body again, it had become transparent.
After passing through the wall, Yingsi followed a servant to the backyard.
"Hurry up, everyone. There are distinguished guests in the front yard today. If you delay the master's important business, you will all be in trouble."
"understood."
The person giving the lecture looked like a butler.
After he left, the people cleaning the backyard started to slack off again.
"What kind of distinguished guest is this?"
"Hey, you don't know this, right? He was a high-ranking official from the capital. I also heard that he came here to inspect the disaster relief funds in Fengying County..."
"Oh, that's terrible. Everyone knows that our master..."
"Pfft, pfft, don't talk nonsense. Besides, all officials are the same. Look, they come to our master's house as soon as they enter the city. Maybe they are all the same kind of people."
Yingsi squatted in front of them and listened for a while, then suddenly stood up and walked to a nearby place and shouted, "Where is that laundry lady Qian?"
The few people who were slacking off all replied in unison: "I went to the North Courtyard to help cut vegetables."
Then they formed a circle and began to exchange information.
"Okay!"
A few people suddenly turned around and saw that there was no one behind them. They asked each other, "Who was asking just now?"
"Who knows, maybe he's looking for Aunt Qian's help again. She's the only one who's always available and willing to do any job."
"That's true. Hey, you just mentioned that adult. Keep talking..."
"I also heard that..."
Yingsi slipped to the north yard again and finally saw the kitchen, but there were so many people inside that it was dizzying.
An official's kitchen was almost as big as the emperor's. How greedy he was.
After squatting outside and waiting for a long time, he couldn't find Aunt Qian. Seeing that he only had ten minutes left, he thought about going out first.
As she stood up, a middle-aged woman wearing a half mask passed by her. Yingsi immediately guessed by intuition that she was Aunt Qian.
"Madam Shen, the vegetables have been washed and cut. If everything is ok, I will go back first."
Aunt Qian said to the person in charge inside.
"Wait, where's your girl? Is she slacking off again?"
A woman came out, with her chest covered and dressed beautifully.
Aunt Qian quickly explained, "No, no, the eldest master just told her to go to the front to pour wine for the nobleman."
Madam Shen glanced at her with disdain.
"Who is the little bitch trying to seduce? Don't think I don't know that you and your daughter are just thinking about hooking up with the eldest son and becoming a phoenix, right? I'm telling you, don't be so wishful thinking. The eldest son is the one my daughter has set her eyes on. If that little bitch dares to compete with my daughter for him, I'll show you how I'll deal with her."
"You misunderstood, we didn't..."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Go to the front and call that little bitch back. Tell her you have something for her to do."
"But, but the eldest master..."
"I will naturally let my daughter take care of the eldest master. Why, do you dare not listen?"
Aunt Qian nodded timidly: "I understand. I'll go right away."
Yingsi looked at the woman in front of him who was using chicken feathers as a token of authority with displeasure, and kicked a stone at her. Madam Shen screamed in pain immediately.
It was nice, but when Aunt Qian left, she didn't have enough time to remain invisible to follow her, so after thinking for a moment, she walked away where no one would notice her.
As soon as I walked under a grape vine, I heard voices coming from there.
"Will this medicine work? If the poison doesn't kill us, we'll all die."
"Don't worry, it's guaranteed to kill you. This drug is colorless and tasteless, and just a little bit will cause you to bleed from all your orifices."
"But who should deliver the wine?"
"Why not just find a maid? As long as Wei Xuanzhi is dead, the rest will be up to us to report."
Hiss, another scene of a planned murder, it really is a Hongmen Banquet.
Yingsi bit her finger anxiously, then stretched her head to look at the two people. They had already agreed to go out.
Although they couldn't see her, Yingsi subconsciously hid behind a tree.
I saw with my own eyes that they put the medicine into the wine jug, and then handed the jug to Madam Shen.
Madam Shen bowed her head to take the wine jug, then walked in happily.
Aunt Qian has also returned with her daughter.
Yingsi looked at the timer and saw that there were only two minutes left.
The male protagonist’s halo shouldn’t be lethal.
Thinking of this, she still sighed.
"What is the time limit for the Hallucination Card?"
System: Twenty minutes each.
Hallucinogenic cards can make a person think of themselves as another person for a short period of time.
Thinking of what Madam Shen had just said, Yingsi lowered her eyes and waited for her daughter to bring out the wine.
Madam Shen was still following behind and admonishing: "My dear daughter, you must seize this opportunity. No matter which master takes a fancy to us, we will be able to rise to great heights!"
Yingsi secretly complained: Tengda is about to become a wandering ghost.
Even though she thought so, she still followed the little girl out.
System: The last twenty seconds left on the invisibility card.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Yingsi gritted her teeth and hit her on the head with a stick.
The little girl immediately lost her strength and fell down, Yingsi quickly caught the wine jug in her hand.
Then he quickly dragged her into an empty room.
It took just the right amount of time to complete all of this, and the movements were smooth, like a professional killer.
"Use the Hallucinogenic Card."
System: The hallucination card timer begins.
After wiping the sweat from her head and taking a few deep breaths, Yingsi imitated her actions and walked towards the main hall holding the wine jug.
Everyone she met on the road greeted her as Shen Niangzi's daughter Jiaojiao, so she could only try not to speak.
Walking into the central hall, Yingsi saw the two people who had just discussed poisoning Wei Xuanzhi sitting opposite him.
When the two men saw the wine jug in her hand, they looked at each other and instructed, "Quick, that's the best wine, why don't you fill it up for the Governor."
Yingsi looked towards where Wei Xuanzhi was sitting. He had changed into a brown flying fish suit that symbolized his status, and a pure black gauze hat on his head. The two hatbands on the sides of his ears were adorned with a few jade beads and hung on his shoulders.
