Chapter 15 This Is Too Clever

"Ah Xuan, do you think Sister Yu'er has been acting strange lately?"

In Jingyang Palace, Princess Ankang was basking in the sun with her beloved pet, but her eyes were fixed on Yu'er not far away, and her little face was full of worry.

At this time, Yu'er was sitting on a stone bench not far away, staring blankly at the sky, with a trance.

Li Xuan heard Princess Ankang's question, but did not say a word. He buried his head silently again, trying hard to hold back his laughter.

Several strange things did happen to Yu'er in the past two days.

First, her luck became exceptionally good, and she could pick up silver almost every day.

At first it was in the yard, then in front of her door, and finally even in her own purse.

The silver in the purse seemed to give birth to babies, one gave birth to two, two gave birth to three...

The purse became thicker and thicker without her noticing.

If the purse had not become more and more uncomfortable, Yu'er would have almost not noticed it.

What's even more weird is that Yu'er found that it was not just the silver in the purse that could give birth to babies in Jingyang Palace.

No matter how she used the water, there were always three basins of clear water quietly placed next to the well.

Sometimes she would just finish using the water and look at the empty basin in her hand, and would always fall into long contemplation.

Not only that, it hadn't rained these days, but the water tank was full of water.

The rice tank in the kitchen had been empty a few days ago, but it was still empty at the beginning no matter how much it was eaten.

The bottom of the rice tank was exposed to the sight, but the sparse rice grains on the edge were enough for them to eat for two or three days.

Yu'er wanted to pour the prepared new rice into the rice tank after eating, but she waited until today.

If she hadn't had the concept of quantum mechanics, I'm afraid she would have determined it to be a quantum rice tank by now.

At first, Yu'er could convince herself that this was the blessing of Concubine Xiao.

But now, she couldn't help but fall into doubt.

"Has the queen become an immortal?"

"This is too effective!"

Although Yu'er knew that something was wrong, she couldn't think of a reasonable explanation.

There were only the three of them in Jingyang Palace all day long, and they were all so poor.

Who lost the money?

Could it be that someone took pity on us and helped us in secret?

But this explanation is even more unreliable than the appearance of Concubine Xiao.

For so many years, no one has ever helped Jingyang Palace.

And even if someone wanted to, who would dare to risk offending that noble lady?

Always thinking about these questions made Yu'er a little absent-minded recently.

Sometimes, just when she was about to go to work, she found that the work had actually been done long ago.

My memory was getting worse day by day, and I had no impression of the work I had just done.

Not only that, Yu'er found that she was getting more and more efficient at work now, and she was getting bored every day when she was idle in Jingyang Palace.

Yu'er sighed and turned around to see Princess Ankang looking at her with a worried look.

She stood up and asked expectantly, "Your Highness, do you have any instructions?"

Princess Ankang didn't say anything, but waved at Yu'er.

Yu'er walked closer, and Princess Ankang put her hand on her forehead.

"You don't have a fever either."

Princess Ankang muttered, and then asked, "Sister Yu'er, are you feeling uncomfortable recently? You always look absent-minded."

"Ah... No, no, Your Highness is worried."

Yu'er turned her eyes away with a guilty conscience and said casually.

She didn't understand this matter, so she shouldn't say it casually.

And if she mentioned Concubine Xiao, I'm afraid Princess Ankang would be sad too.

Yu'er had many concerns, so she didn't tell Princess Ankang about the strange things that happened recently.

Princess Ankang saw that she didn't want to say it, so she didn't force her.

"Well, take care of yourself, sister Yu'er. Don't take any troubles alone."

"Although Ankang is weak, he is willing to share the worries with sister Yu'er."

"Your Highness..."

Yu'er couldn't help but be deeply moved. For so many years, Her Highness has never treated her as a servant, always calling her sister, sister.

Looking at the well-behaved and sensible sister in front of her, Yu'er couldn't help but take a deep breath, cheered up and replied with a smile: "Your Highness, don't worry, it's just a little thing. If Yu'er is embarrassed, I will definitely ask you for help."

Having masters like Concubine Xiao and Princess Ankang, Yu'er felt that her life was worth it.

After chatting with Princess Ankang for a few more words, Yu'er felt much more relaxed.

"Your Highness, you take a rest first, I'll go prepare lunch."

Yu'er's face swept away the previous melancholy, and she was full of smiles, looking much better.

But when she walked to the kitchen door, her feet made a bang, and something hit her.

The familiar feeling of the feet made Yu'er too lazy to think about it. She just picked up a piece of silver from the ground and threw it into her purse.

"If it's a blessing, it's not a disaster. If it's a disaster, it can't be avoided."

"Please bless me, Concubine Xiao, and hope nothing bad happens."

Yu'er had let it go and stopped worrying about things that hadn't happened yet.

But just when her mentality changed a little, there was a knock on the door outside Jingyang Palace.

The sudden knock on the door scared Yu'er. She subconsciously covered her purse with both hands. Her big eyes were full of panic, like a kitten that was caught stealing fish.

Except for the eunuchs who came to deliver the monthly allowance every month, there had been no visitors in Jingyang Palace for eight hundred years.

It was only a few days ago that she was harassed and deducted from the monthly allowance. Why did someone knock on the door again today?

Yu'er covered her bulging purse and subconsciously felt a little guilty.

The knock on the door was still ringing, so she quickly took out the purse and hid it in a long-unused cage in the kitchen.

Then she tidied her appearance, took two deep breaths, and walked towards the door.

"I picked up the money, not stole it."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."

Yu'er walked towards the door, mumbling all the way, constantly strengthening her psychological suggestion to make herself appear more open.

The knock on the door was not fast or slow, three times, then paused for a long time, and then three more times.

Although Yu'er hesitated for a long time, the other party was very polite from the unhurried knock on the door.

Today's door seemed particularly heavy, and Yu'er took a lot of effort to open it.

Yu'er had a cold face and was about to throw out a question "Who is coming?"

But when she saw the person knocking on the door clearly, her mind went blank, her legs softened, and she almost fell to the ground.

"Are you Yu'er?"

The crisp voice sounded slowly, and the tone was gentle.

But Yu'er felt like she was falling into an ice cellar, and she wanted to die.

"Isn't it just a few taels of silver?"

"Is it that serious?"

"I'm tired, I'd better just admit it, so I don't have to suffer any more..."

In a flash, Yu'er's thoughts turned around, and finally she managed to squeeze out a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Shang, Shang, why are you here?"
