The cousin is beautiful but ruthless.

Chapter 128 The Background of Girl Azhi

"Miaoyi, can you tell your mother where you want to live?"

Shen Hanyu stopped packing her things.

"I haven't decided yet. I'm just moving out for now. I've already upset my grandmother, so it's not good for me to stay here for another night."

Liang Fangrong sighed. How did things come to this? Everything was fine when she first came to the Marquis's residence.

Shen Hanyu knew what Liang Fangrong was thinking, but Liang Fangrong's lifestyle was not suitable for this Marquis's mansion.

She had lived a very peaceful life in the Shen family for many years and had not returned to Chang'an for a long time. Her brother had married a new wife and the Marquis's mansion had grown in number. Things were no longer the same as before she got married.

After packing her things, Shen Hanyu walked past Liang Fangrong and said, "Mother, please take care of yourself."

All she left Liang Fangrong were these words and some money; that was the end of her gratitude for being raised.

Watching Shen Hanyu board the carriage and leave the Marquis's residence, Xia saw Liang Fangrong's hand trembling slightly and could only whisper a few words of comfort.

Shen Hanyu felt relaxed after leaving the Marquis's residence.

"Tell Jin Chui to instruct the kitchen to prepare more food. This is our first day in the new house, let's have a lively celebration together."

Miao Cui agreed, saying that Jin Chui would definitely make arrangements as soon as he received the news, without them having to give any instructions.

In these respects, Golden Hammer is more reliable.

Upon arriving at the previously acquired residence, Jin Chui stood at the entrance with his servant.

"Girl, you've finally arrived. I was preparing things here, so I didn't come over. I just had a carriage prepared to pick you up."

As Jin Chui spoke, he directed people to carry the things downstairs.

The food was already prepared in the kitchen; Jin Chui had timed it perfectly.

Shen Hanyu returned to the courtyard, where Jin Chui had taken good care of things these past few days.

"I asked someone to buy some trendy dishes from Zuixianju, and the kitchen has made some more. Would you like to go and take a look, young lady?"

By the afternoon, Shen Hanyu was indeed hungry.

"Go and see."

Shen Hanyu waved to the servants in the courtyard.

"Let them go eat first, I don't need anyone to wait on me for the time being."

Only Jin Chui and Miao Cui remained by Shen Hanyu's side. Jin Chui led Shen Hanyu to the dining table with a smile.

The food was still hot, with several stir-fried dishes placed in the center, along with a bowl of chicken soup containing cordyceps flowers.

After Shen Hanyu sat down, Jin Chui continued, "Young Master Xu sent someone to inquire in the prison. It seems unlikely that the second young master of the Marquis's mansion will be able to get out. However, his mother, Madam Lin, has returned to her maternal home. There is still no news from the Lin family."

Shen Hanyu nodded. She didn't know much about the Lin family, so it was hard to say whether she would offer any help.

But Liang Sihan's matter has become truly ugly, and it's not easy for her to come out of it.

Furthermore, because it has been delayed for so long, the news has now spread throughout the palace.

The Emperor knew that Liang Sihan frequented prostitutes, so even if the Lin family wanted to help, they couldn't bring themselves to speak up.

Having figured this out, Shen Hanyu's brows relaxed.

"Keep an eye on them, and remove our people once Liang Sihan's conviction is finalized."

Jin Chui readily agreed, then asked about something else.

"Miss, have you finished writing the letter to the young master?"

Shen Hanyu was taken aback; she had really forgotten about that.

"Come pick it up tonight, and deliver it tomorrow."

Jin Chui smiled and quickly went out to eat.

Miao Cui glanced at Jin Chui, "If he hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten about it too."

Shen Hanyu felt a little embarrassed. Pei Du had gone to great lengths to send her those messages, yet she had completely forgotten about him.

Pei Du had helped her so much, Shen Hanyu picked up her chopsticks: "Write a reply after you finish eating."

Miao Cui couldn't help but laugh: "Aren't you going to read tonight, Miss?"

"No problem."

She can now focus on preparing for the scientific expedition with peace of mind; she has plenty of time.

With Wei Ming's help, we have already mastered what we missed earlier, so there is nothing to worry about.

After finishing her meal, Shen Hanyu picked up her pen and carefully began writing her reply.

She didn't know what to say in the letter, and putting down the brush and picking it up again was even more difficult than solving a problem.

Miao Cui brought over the candles, making the table even brighter.

Looking at the blank paper with only a few drops of ink, Miao Cui said in a low voice, "Miss, why don't you write down what you've been doing and what you've eaten recently, and then ask Young Master Pei if he's adapting well to the border, and about his diet and daily life? Then you'll have something to say."

After Miao Cui's suggestion, Shen Hanyu patted his head and said, "That's it, that's how it should be written."

When asked about what she had done and eaten, Shen Hanyu knew it all by heart. After asking Pei Du a few more questions, she dried the ink, knocked on the door with a golden mallet, and handed him the letter.

"How is Miss Azhi from Suqin Pavilion?"

Shen Hanyu suddenly asked about Azhi's recent situation.

Miao Cui helped Shen Hanyu undress. "Suqin Pavilion has been shut down. The madam and the girls have been settled in a house. Miss Azhi is there."

Shen Hanyu lowered her eyes.

"Have Xiaotao come over tomorrow."

Miao Cui said "okay".

Xiao Tao was the one who delivered the contract signed by Liang Sihan to Shen Hanyu.

Shen Hanyu remembered Xiao Tao saying that Azhi was taken in by the madam and lost her memory.

She only has two days off, so she needs to take good care of these matters.

The next morning, Xiao Tao arrived at Shen Hanyu's residence through the back door.

She peeked out and followed behind Miao Cui.

"Sister Miaocui, I sneaked out. I can't stay away for too long, or Mom will scold me again."

Miao Cui said she knew, and took her to see Shen Hanyu.

When Xiao Tao saw Shen Hanyu, she immediately knelt down.

"girl."

"Get up."

Shen Hanyu sized up Xiao Tao. They had only met once when the contract was delivered. This person was carefully selected and there was no way she would make a mistake.

"How is Ah Zhi doing lately?"

Xiao Tao thought for a moment and then said, "Sister Azhi has been scolded by Mom, who calls her a money-losing jinx. These past few days, she has locked herself in her room and won't see anyone except me. Her headache has flared up again these past two days, and she wanted to get some medicine, but Mom won't let her."

Shen Hanyu listened to Xiao Tao and realized that she was already planning to bring Azhi out.

But the madam certainly wouldn't easily hand over Ah Zhi's contract.

As she spoke, Xiao Tao moved closer to Shen Hanyu.

“Girl, after Mother moved out of Suqin Pavilion, she seems to have been in contact with other people. I feel like she wants us to become prostitutes. Sister Xianglian was taken out by a man today.”

Xiao Tao lowered her head, knowing that she had indeed harbored some ulterior motives after the young lady summoned her; she wanted the young lady to save her.

She was of average appearance and had previously worked as a handyman at the Suqin Pavilion. But if the madam really made her a prostitute, no matter what she looked like, she would probably have to go out and earn money for her.

Looking at Xiao Tao's expression, Shen Hanyu understood her unspoken meaning.

How much do you know about Ah Zhi's background?

Xiao Tao shook her head: "I don't know much. The day Azhi first came, I heard my mother say that if she hadn't lost her memory, it wouldn't have been so easy to trick her back."

Shen Hanyu lightly tapped the armrest with her fingers.

"There are only a limited number of people I can save right now. There are too many people in Suqin Pavilion. So, I will save Azhi, and I will save you too."
