Time Travel: Brothel Maid

Chapter 236 Is she worthy?

Xiao Chuchu felt so jealous when she saw Chen Fengyao like this.

This pearl and ruby ​​headdress bestowed by His Majesty is extremely precious and only the mistress of a mansion is worthy of it. Now the general is willing to give it to a prostitute who came from a brothel!

She was so angry that she gritted her teeth!

Chen Fengyao couldn't help but take two steps forward, took Yingniang's hand and looked at her carefully.

However, under his scorching gaze, Yingniang couldn't help but start shivering again.

Chen Fengyao seemed unaware of anything and took her hand and was about to walk out.

Yingniang was stiff and staggered. She asked cautiously, "Where are you taking me, General?"

Chen Fengyao then remembered that he had not yet told her the good news.

"General Zheng has come from the capital, and I have brought you a letter from your brother, as entrusted by him."

Sure enough, just as he expected, as soon as he finished speaking, a look of joy instantly appeared on Yingniang's face, and the corners of her eyes and mouth slightly raised, adding a touch of beauty.

"Really?"

"Of course it's true."

"Then General, take me with you."

After saying that, he actually walked towards the door first, and Chen Fengyao followed closely behind him.

Xiao Chuchu watched the two people talking as if no one was around and then left, a trace of anger flashing in her eyes.

Shaoyao stepped forward and whispered indignantly in Xiao Chuchu's ear, "A prostitute is worthy of wearing such a beautiful headdress? Isn't she afraid of shortening her life?"

Xiao Chuchu was so angry that her chest was heaving. Upon hearing this, she raised her hand and slapped the maid in the face. She scolded her sharply, "What are you talking about? The general said that no one can talk about her background anymore. If the general heard you saying this, he would think that I was jealous and was doing bad things behind her back and couldn't tolerate her! You want to kill me!"

Shaoyao immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, "It was my fault. I will never do it again!"

After Xiao Chuchu vented her anger, she looked at the red five-fingerprints on the maid's face kneeling on the ground, and her anger subsided a little, and her voice became lower, "Stand up, I know you are loyal, but you must be careful with your words next time."

Then he took off a jewel ring from his finger and handed it to her, "This is a reward for you. Go down and get some ice for your face."

Shaoyao immediately turned from sadness to joy and said happily, "Thank you for the reward, Auntie."

Xiao Chuchu slowly returned to Haitang Courtyard. She did not sleep all night.

When Yingniang heard Xiaoguoer's letter, her joy was beyond words. This was the first good news she had heard since she came to this distant and strange place.

Seeing that she was happy, Chen Fengyao felt much better.

Zheng Shen had already drunk two cups of tea, but still hadn't seen Chen Fengyao return. Just as he was getting impatient, he suddenly saw a radiant beauty approaching with a smile on her face.

The beauty's hair is tied into a snake-like bun, inlaid with pearls and gems, showing her luxury and nobility, as if she had walked out of a painting.

Zheng Shen only felt a flash before his eyes, and when he came to his senses, he quickly lowered his head. It was really too rude for him to stare at General Chen's concubine like that.

But it seems that this beauty is living a good life, and he can also report to the Eighth Prince.

He stood up and bowed to the beauty, "This must be my sister-in-law, right? General Chen is so lucky."

Yingniang also bowed quickly and said, "General Zheng is joking."

Chen Fengyao, who was standing behind him, felt a sense of pride when he heard Zheng Shen praising Yingniang. He smiled and said, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, General Zheng. I was late because I had to deal with some family matters. Please don't mind, General Zheng."

Zheng Shen teased with a sly smile, "General Chen may have forgotten me after seeing the beauty. I am also a man, so I can understand it. Why would I be surprised?"

Chen Fengyao laughed heartily, "Hahaha, I didn't expect General Zheng to like joking so much."

Chen Fengyao signaled Wang Sheng to serve the meal, and the three of them sat around the round table one by one.

Although Yingniang was very anxious, seeing that the two were talking happily, she didn't want to interrupt rashly. She could only wait patiently, looking at Zheng Shen eagerly.

Chen Fengyao was sitting in the middle and talking to Zheng Shen, so he didn't notice her anxious expression for a moment. Instead, Zheng Shen felt Yingniang's gaze on him.

Zheng Shen then suddenly remembered that he had not yet completed another task on this trip. It was all his fault that he was so dazed by the beauty just now that he forgot such an important thing for a moment.

He quickly took out a letter and a bag full of change from his pocket.

Yingniang's eyes lit up, and she looked obviously excited.

"Sister-in-law, this is the letter and a packet of silver your brother asked me to pass on."

Yingniang leaned forward to take the things handed over by Zheng Shen from Chen Fengyao, and asked casually, "General Zheng, how did you get to know Xiao Guoer?"

"I am not familiar with your brother. It was the Eighth Prince who found me. Your brother is now working under the Eighth Prince. I think he has a bright future."

Yingniang was stunned. Why would Xiaoguoer be working for the Eighth Prince?

It seems that a lot of things have happened to her in the past month, and I don’t know how she is now.

"Weren't you very happy when you heard that your brother had sent you a letter? Why don't you call and see?"

Yingniang was naturally eager to open the letter and read it, but she felt inexplicably awkward in front of these two people. After hearing what Chen Fengyao said, she no longer hesitated and opened the letter.

As the letter was pulled out, a silver note fell out.

Chen Fengyao took it, glanced at it, and handed it to her, jokingly saying, "You are very thoughtful, brother. You have all the banknotes and silver."

Yingniang was touched and said with emotion, "She has always been so considerate to me."

The content of this letter is not long, just a few sentences and a short page. It should only take a few moments to read.

But Chen Fengyao found that Yingniang's gaze on the paper paused for a long time.

He and Zheng Shen had already drunk two glasses of wine. When he turned his head, he found that she was still holding the letter with her head lowered.

He looked at her in confusion and was surprised to find that her hands were shaking uncontrollably as she held the thin piece of letter paper.

He was startled and looked at her carefully, and found that her head, which was almost hanging down to her chest, was shaking.

She is crying!

"What happened?" Chen Fengyao put down the wine glass that was about to clink glasses with Zheng Shen, and lifted Yingniang's chin which was wet with tears.

A pair of tearful eyes, still shedding tears, crystal clear like pearls that had broken off the string, falling one by one, really made me feel pity for her.

Chen Fengyao, a tough guy like iron, softened inch by inch in the face of Yingniang's tears.

His tone was soft and gentle, as he had never heard before. "But what happened to your brother?"

Yingniang was sobbing and had not yet recovered from the emotion she felt from the letter.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Chen Fengyao comforted her, "It doesn't matter what happened. Tell me and I will solve it for you."

Yingniang shook her head but still didn't say anything. Her throat felt like it was blocked by a ball of cotton from crying and she was choking and unable to speak.
