Chapter 544 Finding a Backer
"Now that you are by Miss's side, you must do what Miss arranges. Mo's information is very important to Miss, so you must deliver something to Young Master Ji today."
Du Mingxian felt a little annoyed when she saw that Granny Chen had been talking for a long time but hadn't gotten to the point and was still just talking about things that needed to be done.
"However, I have a solution."
"You say it, you say it."
Master Tian had a greedy servant. Whenever people had something they couldn't get done, they would pool their money and ask this servant to help them.
The servant was highly valued by Master Tian, so when things couldn't be done, the Tian family servants would give the servant some silver, and that usually the matter could be resolved.
Master Tian is someone who can keep Ji Heng in check. As long as this matter is handled well, she won't have to suffer anymore.
Everyone knew that Young Master Ji was a womanizer in the Tian family. Every maid who had been to Young Master Ji's courtyard was found to be virgin.
After finishing her explanation, Granny Chen sighed deeply, "I've told you the method; how to implement it is up to you."
"Thank you, Auntie."
"Alright, I'm already very happy that you don't blame me for putting you in this situation."
"Auntie is already very good. There are some things that are not up to her to decide."
Du Mingxian already had a plan in mind. After Granny Chen left, she made several extra servings of milk tea and went to deliver them to Ji Heng, passing by Master Tian's courtyard on her way.
She was lucky; she just happened to run into the money-loving servant in front of Master Tian.
"Would you like a cup of milk tea? I just made it." Du Mingxian stepped forward and looked at the servant, slipping a packet of silver into his hand as she spoke.
The servant smiled as soon as he received the heavy silver coins. "Great! I heard this is something only available in the young lady's courtyard. It's a blessing for us servants to be able to drink this."
Du Mingxian kept only one cup; she took out the rest.
Seeing that she still had a cup left, and remembering the money she had just slipped him, the servant asked, "Who are you sending this to?"
"After Young Master Ji went to Miss's courtyard for a drink, Miss asked me to deliver a cup to Young Master Ji's courtyard."
The servant glanced at Du Mingxian thoughtfully, then looked down at her stomach. "Pregnant woman?"
"Yes."
"Alright, take this last cup to Young Master Ji. But after you do, remember to tell him that the Master wants you to make some milk tea to give away. He can't keep you here."
Du Mingxian secretly breathed a sigh of relief; this meant she was saved. "Thank you, thank you."
The servant waved his hand dismissively, "It's nothing."
As Du Mingxian was about to leave, she heard the servant mutter behind her back, "He doesn't even intend to spare a pregnant woman, what a beast!"
Du Mingxian curled her lips. Who can argue with that? Ji Heng is truly a beast.
With the groundwork laid earlier, she wasn't too worried about going there now. When she arrived at the gate of Ji Heng's courtyard, she handed the milk tea to the servant at the gate, "I am Xiao Du from Miss's courtyard. Miss asked me to bring you milk tea."
The servant glanced at Du Mingxian and waved his hand, "Take it in to your master yourself."
“But the master said he wants to send milk tea to someone, and he’s waiting for me to go back and make it.” Du Mingxian looked troubled.
After hesitating for a moment, the servant turned and left without saying a word, leaving the milk tea behind. Du Mingxian didn't follow him in but stood at the door, knowing that going in would definitely not end well.
A moment later, the servant came out, took the milk tea from Du Mingxian's hand, turned around and left without saying a word, looking like he didn't want to say anything more.
Du Mingxian was speechless. As expected, like master, like servant.
Fortunately, nothing else happened. She turned and left, feeling a little relieved.
She was walking back here, while over there in Ji Heng's courtyard, in his study.
Ji Heng smashed the teacup in his hand. "It's her good fortune that a mere peasant woman like her has taken a liking to her. And she even dares to approach the servant boy next to the master. She's really got some nerve."
"Young master, such an ungrateful woman is better off without."
