The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 500: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (39)

"Madam..." Hongdou hesitated and opened her mouth to persuade her, but was interrupted by Cao Wanning before she could finish her words.

"Get out!" Cao Wanning's voice trembled slightly, revealing a trace of pain and determination that could not be concealed.

Hongdou knew very well that her master would not want her to see her current appearance. She had no choice but to sigh softly, quietly leave the room, and close the door.

After Hongdou left, Cao Wanning slowly loosened his hands that were covering his lips as if relieved of a heavy burden. The smile on his face that he had been forcibly suppressing no longer needed to be hidden.

She gently stroked the exquisite cloisonné bracelet on her wrist and murmured to herself, "I still have to add some more medicine. What if it's not enough in the future..."

Before he finished his words, a crisp "click" sound was heard, and the bracelet that seemed extremely solid actually broke into two pieces.

It turns out that this bracelet is not cast as a whole, but is connected by delicate clasps, and the interior is a hollow design.

You just need to master the specific technique to twist the bracelet, and the medicinal powder hidden in it will fall to where it is needed.

Cao Wanning carefully placed the broken bracelet on the table, then gently opened it. The medicinal powder inside the bracelet was lavender and exuded a faint fragrance.

She pulled out a small compartment from the bottom of the box containing preserved fruits, and inside was the same medicinal powder as that in the bracelet.

He calmly continued to fill the hollow part of the bracelet with medicine powder, put it back on his hand, and then stuffed the small grid back into the candied fruit box.

Suddenly, there was a slight noise outside the door. Cao Wanning was not nervous, but walked straight to the dressing table and sat down.

The door slowly opened, and a figure walked in silently, looking through the dressing mirror facing the door.

It’s red beans!

"Master, the bird's nest stewed for you in the kitchen is ready. I'll bring it to you." Hongdou put the tray on the table. "I just went to the big kitchen to collect it! I asked them to collect it there today. Let's see if that little rascal dares to steal our things again."

"Who do you work for?" Cao Wanning did not respond to her question. Instead, he asked, "Did Cao Ce send you here?"

"Master!" Hongdou denied immediately, "I am Nanny Hong's niece! How could I be the Second Young Master's person?"

"Haha!" Cao Wanning laughed, "I thought you were so powerful! You exposed yourself with just this one sentence. You and Madam Hong are both people that my sister Cao Fangning left for Cao Ce. The only difference is that she is in the open, while you are in the dark."

Hongdou didn't argue anymore.

"Don't worry, you are helping me now, after all, I won't make things difficult for you." Cao Wanning comforted her, "Since none of us are good people, let's talk about it openly! Or you can tell me why you want to reveal your identity?"

"Master, please give me the cloisonné bracelet on your hand." Hongdou stated her purpose, "I just want to return it to its original owner."

"I can't give it to you now. I'll give it to you when I'm done using it." As he said this, he showed her the function of the bracelet.

Hongdou looked at the bracelet in Cao Wanning's hand that had been broken into two pieces, and said thoughtfully: "So that's how it is... I understand, ma'am."

She knew that the daughter of the Cao family would not be so weak. It turned out that Cao Wanning had already kept a backup plan. However, Hongdou still couldn't help asking: "Master, what about this medicine powder..."

"Let me tell you a story!" Cao Wanning did not intend to answer this question directly. "In the past, there was a princess in the palace who married a romantic prince-in-law. However, the prince-in-law had a strong family background.

So he had no scruples regarding women, but no matter how romantic he was, he only had a son and a daughter born to him by the princess, and no other children.

My father, General Cao, had many children, but not long after I was born, he was injured and lost his fertility. "

After hearing what she said, Hongdou felt a chill down her spine and she knelt down immediately: "I didn't hear anything."

"What's wrong with you? I'm just telling you a story." Cao Wanning was surprised. "Is it just a story that scares you like this?"

Hongdou heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this and replied, "Master, I am young and I cannot understand these stories."

"Alright! It's up to you." Cao Wanning didn't care who Hongdou belonged to. After all, she was from the Cao family. When it came to interests, they were in the same boat. "Tell the people in the mansion to stay away from Yue Niang these few days. She's in this state now. Whoever touches her will be in trouble."

"Yes." Hongdou had already concluded from what had happened in the past few days that Yue Niang's pregnancy was probably fake.

Not to mention that the master and servant have already confessed their secrets to each other.

Su Weicheng had already arrived at Yue Niang's yard, and was scolding Yue Niang behind closed doors! Of course, Yue Niang's sister-in-law was also driven out at this moment.

"You are clearly faking your pregnancy, why are you disturbing the fetus?" Su Weichen simply threw the cup at hand to the ground, but the movement was too large and inevitably affected the injured area.

Take a man of his age, for example. Others learn from their failures, but he learned from them over and over again, and then he became "full of experience".

He didn't know how many times his wound had been affected along the way, and he was gasping for breath in pain. It was really unimaginable that he could suffer so much pain because of something like breaking a cup.

Probably a bracelet like this.
