Chapter 247 Miss you
Hearing this, Zhao Mengyi's face became even darker.
Yu Jiao was not that miserable. After her parents were killed by rocks while working in the manor, the manor felt sorry for her and gave her some money, which she kept in her pocket. If she had taken the money and left the manor to marry a good family, she would have lived a stable life in the future. Unfortunately, she was short-sighted and used the money to gamble, lost all the money, and sold herself.
If Zhao Meng hadn't redeemed her as soon as he saw that she was pretty, she would have been sold to a brothel.
Zhao Mengyi also got angry when this was mentioned. She had paid off all the money she owed when she redeemed her last time. She didn't expect that she owed another sum when they met last time.
If she had not already safely entered the Bai Mansion at that time, she would never have helped her again.
"I've paid it off." Zhao Mengyi said coldly, "But I remind you, this is the last time. If you don't behave yourself again, I won't pay you a penny."
Yu Jiao laughed sarcastically, "Sister Zhao, don't say such polite words. You have asked so many people, and now only I have made it to the Bai Mansion. It costs a lot to ask someone to do something. If you don't want to ask me, you can ask someone else."
Zhao Mengyi almost stood up when she heard it.
This little bitch actually threatened her?
"you--"
"I know." Yu Jiao rolled her eyes. "I won't go again. Besides, I've lost all my money. I have no money left."
"Just do your job well." Zhao Mengyi said coldly, "When the job is done, you will get a lot of money."
Yu Jiao has always disdained this kind of empty promises of money. She only cares about what she gets. She took a sip of the soup and said nothing.
At a table not far away, a woman wearing a conical hat looked at them coldly.
That person was Ye Qinghe. She heard the conversation between the two people clearly, and her cold eyes narrowed coldly under her hat.

Tang Mansion, outer courtyard.
Yu Jiao hummed a little tune, twirled her braids, and walked into the room in a good mood. When she turned the corner, she saw Ye Qinghe standing at the door, looking at her expressionlessly.
Yu Jiao was startled and stood there subconsciously.
To be honest, she is a little afraid of Ye Qinghe now. Because she always controls her, she is not as gentle as Tang Wanru. She looks so gullible.
"Master, Master..." she murmured.
Ye Qinghe was not angry, but asked without showing any emotion: "Where have you been?"
"Master, the master asked me to go outside to buy two pieces of clothes, so I went for a walk." Yu Jiao replied.
"What about the clothes?"
"I didn't buy anything because it wasn't good-looking." Yu Jiao muttered. Seeing Ye Qinghe's face darken, she suddenly realized something and quickly changed her words, "It was the imperial concubine who asked me to call her master, not me."
She lowered her head and explained in a low voice.
Unexpectedly, Ye Qinghe was not angry, but smiled gently. This made Yu Jiao laugh so hard that she was at a loss.
"Mother..."
Ye Qinghe opened her palm without saying anything, and Yu Jiao saw a large piece of silver inside. Yu Jiao's eyes lit up.
Ye Qinghe smiled and said, "I distributed the regular silver a few days ago, and I found that yours was distributed in error. You are now a member of the inner courtyard, but you were distributed according to the outer courtyard cleaning. We in the Bai Mansion have always been fair and just, so I am standing here waiting for you and giving you these specially."
Yu Jiao was so excited that she wanted to reach out to take it, but just as she stretched out her hand, she saw Ye Qinghe retract her hand.
Yu Jiao looked at her strangely.
Ye Qinghe said, "Yu Jiao, I didn't let you enter the inner courtyard at first because I was afraid that you were a newcomer and would be clumsy and not be able to greet people well. Now that you are in, you must serve the imperial concubine well. She is pregnant now, but she is the treasure of our Bai Mansion. If something happens to her, no one in our mansion will have a good life."
"Just consider this extra money as my special instruction to you. Please pay more attention to the imperial concubine."
"Don't worry, Madam." Yu Jiao said excitedly, "I will definitely pay attention and make sure to take good care of the imperial concubine and the child."
"Well, that's good." Ye Qinghe nodded and handed the silver to Yu Jiao.
Yu Jiao held the silver in her hands, thanked Ye Qinghe, and left happily.
After she left, Ye Qinghe's eyes darkened. A servant stood out behind her. She gave the man a look, and he retreated as if he had received an order.
Ye Qinghe thought, she is a gambler, how could she expect to make some money in the Bai Mansion?
Daydreaming!

Baiting Tower.
Baiting Tower is where Bai Yanli handles his business, and it is also Bai Yanli's "secret chamber". Although it is located behind the Rouge Pavilion of the Bai family, it actually requires a very secret path to enter, and it is guarded by people, so outsiders cannot enter at all.
And this morning, a woman strode in.
She was wearing a cute neon-colored long dress with her long hair tied up behind her as she walked into the Baiting Tower.
The guard at the door didn't pay attention for a moment, and saw her walk in gracefully. He hurriedly chased after her and asked, "Wait a minute, where are you from..."
As soon as that person turned around, the guard immediately became speechless and stammered, "Seventh Emperor, Hello, Imperial Concubine!"
The person who came was Tang Wanru.
"Where is Bai Yanli?" she asked in a light tone.
"Seventh Prince, he's inside..." Tang Wanru's confident and indifferent gaze made it difficult for the guards to tell her to go out, so they didn't know whether she could go in or not. In the end, they only said, "Please come this way, Princess. I'll take you in." After saying that, they lowered their head and walked to the front to lead the way.
Although the gate is small, the courtyard is quite large when you walk in. The guard led Tang Wanru forward. Some smart men in the building immediately bowed and saluted. Although everyone knew that no one could come in without Bai Yanli's permission, no one dared to stop them.
Soon, she was taken to the second floor of Baiting Building.
The guard originally wanted her to wait at the door while he went in to report, but Tang Wanru had already pushed the door open with a "bang".
The sun shone over instantly.
Bai Yanli, who was discussing something with one of his men inside the door, looked back, his pupils lit up, and he stood up in surprise: "Wanru, why are you here?"
Tang Wanru finally saw him, and her big, bright eyes immediately looked at him: "Husband..."
The guard froze there.
The subordinate in the room immediately retreated sensibly, dragging the stunned guard away with him before leaving.
He even closed the door.
As soon as the door closed, the guard thought of the first time Bai Yanli saw Tang Wanru and silently wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Fortunately, he was smart enough to bring her in today.
If he hadn't thought it through just now, he would have kicked the imperial concubine out without getting orders.
That would be the end of it.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, thinking that it was really the good deeds his ancestors had accumulated over eight lifetimes that were paying off today.
house.
Bai Yanli saw Tang Wanru walking towards him, biting her lips with tears in her eyes, which was really heartbreaking.
He immediately came forward and held her hand, and asked distressedly: "Ruru, what's wrong with you?"
It's okay if he doesn't ask.
When he asked this, she seemed even more aggrieved, her little face flushed, as if she was about to cry.
"Did the baby kick you again?" Bai Yanli quickly reached out and touched her belly.
Now her belly is getting bigger and bigger, and the fetus's movements are becoming more frequent.
Unexpectedly, Tang Wanru shook her head and said, "I miss you."
