Chapter 11: Bitter resentment year after year, forcing gold thread to make wedding clothes for others.

  Longjing Gongzi's words made people feel like they were in a fog, listening to them without understanding. I remembered Wei Gongzi's wife and said: "Longjing Gongzi, I don't know what happened to Wei Furen, because of my careless words, I wrongly took an innocent life, and my heart has been uneasy about it."

  "It's indeed the case." Longjing Gongzi laughed and said, "If it weren't for you passing on the message, Xu Na's wife would still be at home pinching his ears! Tsk tsk, you've got some nerve, one sentence causes such a commotion, how can this be good?"

  I thought to myself, it's better not to mention that Dragon Well young master told me to inform Wei Gongzi in this way. Now I've ended up pushing him away completely. But I also don't want to quarrel with this young master who seems to possess extraordinary skills and can save the Purple Jade Hairpin Street from disaster. So I could only secretly scold him in my heart while keeping my head down and remaining silent.

  "But you probably feel guilty about this life, don't you?" Longjing Gongzi blinked his peach blossom eyes and observed my expression: "If you let you make up for your mistake by saving another life, are you willing?"

  "What's going on?" I hastily asked: "What's happening?" Forcing my way in

  "Haha, you're still as foolish as ever," Longjing Gongzi chuckled, having caught sight of the monkey's antics. "But let's get back to the point - that woman took someone else's things, so she has to pay the price. A pitiful person must have a hateful side, don't you know?"

  "But Madam Wei would not go so far as to risk her life just because of jealousy," I said: "She did not intentionally want to harm Master Wei."

  "Let bygones be bygones, there's no use talking about it anymore. The matter at hand is to save someone, are you going to do it or not? They say saving one life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, you can make up for your past mistakes and have a clear conscience."

  I nodded hastily: "If it's possible to rescue people from the monster's mouth, Mei Cai is willing to go!"

  "Alright, alright," Longjing Gongzi stroked his chin and said in a mysterious low voice: "Since that's the case, after you've finished delivering the pastries today, hide in the large wardrobe in Ruoxi's room. I'll help you catch the demon, okay?" The female lead who traveled through time was not eager to please.

  I was taken aback: "Hidden in the wardrobe? But..."

  "It's that camphor wood carved peony flower wardrobe in Ruo Xi's room, the one with a mature brown finish. You're always busy running around, you shouldn't be unaware of it, right?" Long Jing Gongzi looked at me again with a teasing expression.

  "I know it's knowing..." I hesitated to think, but as a little girl, I had no reason to sneak into someone's closet, and in terms of emotions and reason, it was all too improper.

  "Just knowing is enough, you don't need to worry about anything else. What's more important than catching demons?" Longjing Gongzi leaned down and looked at me: "If it's like the wife of that Wei Gongzi, lives will be lost, and regret will come too late."

  Although I was hesitant, as soon as I thought of Madame Wei's miserable death, my heart felt a pang of pain. I gritted my teeth and agreed: "Then think of a way to hide the plum blossoms in the wardrobe." My original intention was to enthrall the city: The demonic King is too ruthless.

  As night fell, I first delivered the desserts to each room and finally came to Miss Ruoxi's room. There, I saw Minister Shen stroking his goat-like beard, with his eyes slightly closed, listening to Miss Ruoxi play a flowing melody on her pipa. The sound of the music was like pearls falling onto a jade plate, extremely beautiful and captivating, moving one's heart and soul.

  I put today's scallion pancake on a Qinghua porcelain plate, the pancake is as big as a baked cake, sprinkled with sesame seeds, golden and crispy, onion fragrance overflowing, paired with smooth and tender braised egg, fragrant ham silk, soft and glutinous sauce-braised mutton, clear and bright purple cabbage egg flower chicken soup, most suitable for midnight snack.

  Shen Shangshu saw me and nodded slightly, I knew it was time to eat, so I hastily handed over a handkerchief soaked in jasmine tea for Shen Shangshu to wipe his hands. After cleaning his hands, he was about to enjoy the meal. According to etiquette, I should have withdrawn to avoid disturbing the pleasant atmosphere. However, today's urgent matters were pressing on me, and no matter how hard I racked my brains, I couldn't think of a way to sneak into the wardrobe. Just as I was hesitating, all the lanterns, oil lamps, and candles in the room suddenly went out at once.
