Chapter 87: Just This Once

As long as the money is in place, anything can be discussed, just consider it after-sales service.

Of course, this is a one-time deal. Next time, she’ll have to charge again.

“Understood.” Rulan nodded, then sent a signal into the air. She couldn’t handle this many people alone, so she needed some help.

Soon after the signal was sent, several people appeared before them.

“Greetings to the mistress, Managed Lan.”

“Take these people to the Duke of Qin’s manor and hand them over to the Duke of Qin.”

“Yes!”

After handing over the task, Rulan drove the carriage towards the secret building. Upon arriving, the mistress and her maid changed into different clothes and returned to the separate courtyard.

Rumei had not rested and was relieved to see them return. “Miss, you’re finally back.”

“Rumei, I worried you.” Yunzhi said, gesturing for Rulan to bring out the night snacks she had brought for Rumei.

“Sister Rumei, look what I brought you to eat!” Rulan said, taking out the food.

She had brought back a lot of food that night, giving some to Ruzhu and Ruju, and the rest to Rumei.

Seeing the night snacks Rulan brought, Rumei smiled. She realized they had gone to the night market, which explained why they were back so late.

“Go eat!” Yunzhi dismissed Rumei, then looked at Rulan and said, “Don’t tell Rumei about what happened tonight, it will worry her.”

“Yes, Miss.” Rulan nodded, she was also afraid of Rumei’s nagging.

However, Rumei found out about it the next day and pulled Rulan aside to give her a good scolding.

What could Rulan say? She could only listen.

At the Yun Mansion, early in the morning, Xu was feeling uneasy, constantly sending people to check if Qiu Qing and his master had arrived.

However, Xu’s people went again and again, but still didn’t see Qiu Qing, nor his master.

This made Xu a little panicked and restless. She stood up and paced around the room, muttering to herself.

“Didn’t they say they would come to detoxify Zhu’er? Why haven’t they come yet? Could that person be a fraud?”

“No, no, he can’t be a fraud.”

“Why hasn’t he come yet? Could he be held up by something?”

The maids around her saw her like this and thought she was a little crazy. But they dared not go forward to persuade her, afraid of making Xu angry.

Although Xu usually seemed to have a good temper, when she got angry, she wouldn’t treat them, her servants, as human beings.

Previously, an old maid, relying on being an old servant of Xu, had tried to persuade her when she was angry, but ended up being beaten to death by Xu.

Therefore, from then on, whenever Xu got angry, they would stay away, afraid of accidentally provoking her.

Just as Xu was about to explode with anger, a maid rushed in and said, “Madam, the person who will detoxify the miss has arrived.”

“Really? That’s great, where is he?”

“He has already gone to the miss’s courtyard.”

“What, he’s already gone to Zhu’er’s courtyard?” Xu didn’t think much of it and urged the people around her, “Go, go, go, let’s go and see.”

However, when Xu arrived at her daughter’s courtyard, she found that the person had already left. Yunzhu was holding a bottle in her hand, lost in thought.

Xu quickly walked to her daughter’s side and asked, “Zhu’er, are you alright? Where is the person who detoxified you?”
