Chapter 256 An Inexplicable Gift

"How is it? Is everything settled?" Seeing Yunniang finally came back.

Su Qinchao, who had been lying on the couch for a long time, quickly put down his hands and read half of "Taiyi Jiuxiang".

He bought this book a long time ago. A lot of the content in it is related to soul, spirit, essence... and also includes the divination of Qi Men Dun Jia, which is very mysterious.

Although some parts seemed difficult to understand and he needed to consult other classics, they gradually became clear to him.

It is indeed suitable for people like him who often encounter strange things.

He had been particularly interested in these things in his previous life, but was troubled by the lack of punctuation marks in ancient Chinese and was unable to fully appreciate their essence.

You can only learn a little bit by listening to the lectures of those masters, or reading the Tuibei Tu, to satisfy your interest.

Now he had to stay at home to recuperate, so he had plenty of time and was also familiar with the ancients' punctuation, so he asked someone to translate it for him again.

"It's settled. We just need to put those things into practice one by one tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Yunniang walked to the dressing table and sat down tiredly.

She let the two maids beside her take off her hairpins and makeup and let her long hair down little by little.

These days, because of Fubao's marriage, she gets up very early every day.

He either ordered people to do the work or personally supervised the purchases, buying all the necessary items for fear of missing anything.

She really has to take care of everything inside and outside, which makes her very tired.

Now his waist, back and arms were so tired that he had to wait until later when he took a bath and let the two maids rub them vigorously to relieve the pain.

Her husband used to do this for her personally, but now that her husband was injured and it was not convenient for him to do it, she had to settle for the next best thing.

Fortunately, there are still two days left, and I will be done with the work by the time Fubao comes home the day after tomorrow.

At that time, she could sleep until 6:15 am and get up when it was almost time for Xiao Tangyuan to go to school.

Just thinking about it, I feel instantly relieved both physically and mentally.

"Have you found out who sent that unclear gift?" This is what Su Qinchao was most curious about.

The gift came unexpectedly yesterday evening.

When it was delivered, many people saw it, including Yu'er who went there after hearing the news.

But whether it was her, the receptionist, Ada who was sweeping the yard, or Ajiang who happened to be changing lanterns in the corridor.

They all said they couldn't remember, not only what the person said, but even what he looked like.

This kind of method is actually not uncommon in the underworld. There are even many people who easily blend into the crowd and have no sense of existence who specialize in this business.

But who would spend so much time and effort on giving a gift?

Moreover, the gift box was made of plain oak without even any paint on it.

But the inside is inlaid with gold, silver and small gems, and even the velvet cloth that sets it off is of golden luster.

Not to mention the jadeite flowing cloud bracelet which is placed on velvet, has a transparent color, and has veins like flowing clouds that wrap around the entire bracelet.

This kind of bracelet would cost several hundred taels in any jewelry store in Chang'an, but there is a pair in this gift box, which is really a big deal.

He once doubted Wu Sanlang, after all, he was the richest person he knew.

But if this person wanted to give a gift, he could just send someone from Wu's Cloth Shop. There was no need to be so roundabout.

"Not yet." Yunniang shook her head and stood up as the two maids helped her take off her complicated and expensive outer clothes.

After listening to her husband's analysis last night, she also suspected that it was related to the underworld.

Therefore, when I paid my respects to my parents-in-law this morning, I specifically asked about this.

But they all said that they had lost contact with their friends in the underworld a few years ago.

She had no choice but to ask her uncle and sister-in-law for permission.

This gift should be recorded separately and placed carefully in a small storeroom in the mansion that is used to store valuable items.

"Why not wait until Fubao's incident is over before spending money to ask Wanshitong?"

"It can only be this way."

...

"Are you sure?" Wu Sanlang turned around.

He just received the secret letter in the morning, which showed that he had successfully contacted Nagasaki Yuuya.

At this moment, the people below told him that they had found news about Su Qinchao, which was truly a double happiness.

"Yes, my nephew's son-in-law went to the mansion in person this morning to deliver some wine and heard what the maids in the outer courtyard said.

It is said that he returned a few days ago, but was seriously injured and could not be moved easily, so the eldest daughter of the Su family went to the courtyard to pay her respects in person..." said the middle-aged shopkeeper.

He also took out a prescription from his sleeve pocket and handed it over carefully:

"This is the prescription that the servant of the Su Mansion bought from Huichuntang. I also asked someone to inquire about it. They are all expensive herbs for treating bone injuries and internal and external injuries."

"So that's it." He had actually guessed a long time ago that Su Qinchao might have suddenly disappeared because of Princess Minghua's rebellion.

Now that his idea has been realized, he can finally calm down. After all, he is still alive and well, right?

This time he came back just to deliver the message and meet Su Qinchao.

If something happened to Su Qinchao, he would still finish the remaining tasks and get the benefits he deserved, but he would not be so proactive.

Even when he first came into contact with Su Qinchao, he wanted to use his official position to gradually connect with important figures and open up business routes at home and abroad.

But after he got the person, he slowly put the cart before the horse.

Without that person, it seems that no matter how rich you are, it’s just not enough.

Even though he could still live a life of debauchery and pleasure and enjoy himself in the future, his heart was still wandering and unsettled.

"Tell the person in contact not to be so aggressive and wait until she panics and reveals the secret." Wu Sanlang thought about it again and again before finally making a decision.

This was what Princess Yucheng had told him in the secret letter.

The Japanese are good at disguise, especially women, who are much more ruthless than ordinary people.

Without using extreme measures and breaking her heart bit by bit, it is hard for her to really tell the truth.

Although this is the truth, it may also be a lie she deliberately disguised.

Of course, Princess Yucheng would not place her hopes solely on them.

She had already arranged a lot of people, both openly and secretly, when the two princesses of Japan entered the palace for the first time.

For example, Nagasaki Yuuya was a maid who had been with her since she was a child but had already been bribed.

For example, the eunuchs, maids, and palace maids serving in the inner and outer courtyards.

The purpose of his contacting these people was just to confuse her and let her identify the so-called "own people" herself.

Of course, it would be even better if we could really get the secret.

"Yes."

No one would have known at the time that the Nagasaki General would hand over the secret of the largest gold mine in Nagasaki to his daughter who was married into the Wu Dynasty palace.

Instead of giving it to his other sons who were fighting to the death for the position of general.
