Chapter 52 The Second Concubine
"My lord, my lord, it's not good!"
Xue Han looked at Hu Si who rushed in with a calm expression: "What is the ghost's name?"
"Sir, this is not good!"
Xue Han raised his eyelids: "Say."
Can anything good happen to the Imperial City Secretary? It is normal for things to go badly.
"Miss Qiuliu——" Hu Si gasped, satisfied that he didn't blurt out "red bean cake".
Xue Han's eyes changed slightly: "What's wrong with Miss Qiuliu?"
Hu Si was stunned for a moment by Xue Han's reaction.
Who was so calm just now? Oh, it's their adults.
"Are you mute?" Xue Han resisted the urge to kick him.
Hu Si coughed: "I just wandered around Yuan's house, oh, on patrol, guess what I saw?"
"Miss Qiuliu?"
"Yes, Miss Qiu Liu entered Yuan's house in a carriage! I went to the Yuan family specifically to ask the disciples, saying that it was for Madam Hui to make perfume..."
After all, Hongdou Gao is a noble daughter of the uncle's house. No matter how downcast the Yongqing uncle's house is, he will go to make fragrance for a concubine of Yuan Chenghai?
impossible!
"It must be Yuan Chenghai who coveted Miss Qiu Liu's beauty and tricked Miss Qiu Liu into coming to his house under the guise of making incense for his concubine. When Miss Qiu Liu enters Yuan's house, it will be like a little white sheep entering the tiger's mouth. It’s over!”
Xue Han glanced at his excited subordinate and strode out.
Hu Si hurriedly followed.
Here Yuan Chenghai got to the door of his house and got off his horse. Just as he was about to walk in, he heard a voice shouting from behind: "Master Yuan, stay here."
Yuan Chenghai turned around and looked at the young man walking towards him with a puzzled look: "Master Xue?"
"There has been no progress regarding the gangster who attacked Mr. Yuan. I would like to chat with Mr. Yuan, maybe we can get some clues."
"Master Xue is interested, why don't you come and sit in the humble house." Yuan Chenghai invited.
When he came home at this time, he learned that Miss Qiuliu and Hui Niang were back together. He just wanted to see what kind of girl Qiuliu was like and what her thoughts were.
A little girl came to his door on her own initiative. He didn't believe that she was noble and noble. It is impossible to say that Uncle Yongqing wanted to sell his granddaughter for profit. The granddaughter who was sold was also happy.
But compared with the serious matters related to his safety, this little thing has to take a back seat.
"There is no need to go to your mansion. The Imperial City Division is no more likely to misunderstand than others. I hope Master Yuan will understand."
"Oh, yes, yes. Then go and sit at a nearby teahouse."
Xue Han nodded and winked at Hu Si.
Hu Si expressed his understanding and stayed near Yuan's house.
Qiu Heng had already entered the courtyard where Huiniang lived, and silently looked around while waiting for Huiniang to bathe and change clothes.
"Miss Qiu Liu, you've been waiting for a long time." Hui Niang, dressed freshly, came over.
Qiu Heng circled around Huiniang and said, "Go outside the house again and try to minimize the interference."
The more complicated and detailed the work became, the more Hui Niang became convinced of Qiu Heng's skills in making incense, and was even moved by her intentions.
The two came to the courtyard, Qiu Heng closed her eyes and sniffed lightly, while Hui Niang was inexplicably nervous.
"Okay."
"Is this enough?" Hui Niang couldn't believe it.
Qiu Heng smiled and nodded: "I remember the smell that belongs to Madam Hui, and that is enough. Does Madam Hui only want fragrant pendants, or some fragrant pills?"
"Pills for incense?"
"Yes. Compared with incense sticks, incense has better curative effects. It can soothe the nerves, relieve fatigue, calm the mind and refresh the mind, beautify the skin, relax the meridians and activate collaterals... Fragrant pills made of different fragrant herbs have different effects, and they can also be used Lavender..."
Hui Niang was fascinated by what she heard, and her eyes shone.
"I want it, I want it!"
Qiu Heng smiled: "When the incense is ready, I will send it to Lady Hui."
"Thank you so much, I really don't know what to say."
"Ms. Hui, you don't have to be like this. To me, a person who truly loves fragrance is a close friend."
Huiniang felt warm after hearing this. In the eyes of everyone, she is the master's concubine, but in the eyes of Miss Qiu Liu, she is a confidant.
Qiu Heng opened the box he brought and said, "It will take a while to make incense. Madam Hui, let's pick out two incense sticks that you like and wear them."
Huiniang thanked her again and started choosing.
Liniang's yard is nearby, and news has spread since Huiniang came back with Qiu Heng.
"Specially invited to make incense for her?" After hearing the news from the maid, Liniang's delicate eyebrows furrowed deeply.
"Who is that girl?"
"It is said that she is the sixth girl from the Yongqing residence."
Liniang's expression changed: "Did you hear wrongly?"
"That's right, I asked the servant specifically."
Yuan Chenghai cherished his life, and outsiders who wanted to enter Yuan's house had to ask for their identity.

What's going on? The noble lady of the uncle's house came specially to make incense for Hui Niang?
Why is that bitch?
Liniang couldn't sit still anymore and walked to the next door.
"Madam, Madam Li is here." The maid came to Hui Niang and reported in a low voice.
"What's she doing here? Just say that I'm entertaining distinguished guests and I don't have time to see you."
Before the maid could reach the entrance of the courtyard after receiving the order, Liniang came in directly.
"Hey, is my sister entertaining guests?"
Huiniang held back her boredom and smiled: "I am getting ready to send the guests out. I will talk to my sister later."
Liniang's beautiful eyes glanced at Qiu Heng's face, and she secretly scolded Hui Niang for being stupid.
How dare you bring such a young and lovely girl into your home? Are you not afraid of attracting wolves into the house?
"Which girl is this from? I haven't seen her before." Liniang held up her fan and fanned her twice.
Although they are the master's concubines, because of the master's status, they will also deal with some wives.
Although those ladies looked down on them in their hearts, they didn't want to laugh with them on their faces. Therefore, even though she knew Qiu Heng's identity, Liniang didn't feel the need to respect him.
People who really need respect will not come to Yuan's house.
"I am Qiu Liu." Qiu Heng took the initiative to introduce himself and glanced at Hui Niang.
Huiniang was secretly annoyed that Liniang had disturbed the good atmosphere, but she couldn't express it in front of Qiu Heng, so she said with restraint, "This is Liniang, she lives in the yard next to me."
"Ms. Li." Qiu Heng greeted her friendly and smiled at Hui Niang, "Ms. Hui has chosen, then I will go home."
She reached out to close the box, catching Liniang's gaze.
"Ah, so many fragrant pendants!"
Liniang loves beautiful clothes more than fragrance, but that doesn't mean she doesn't love them.
Beautiful clothes are also inseparable from beautiful accessories.
"Miss Qiuliu, can I have a look?"
Huiniang's face sank: "Isn't sister not interested in these things?"
"Who said that?" Liniang raised her sleeves, and the faint fragrance hit her, "I don't have any clothes without incense, why are I not interested?"
These exquisite and elegant pieces of perfume are obviously not available outside. Huiniang can have it, so why doesn’t she?
"Of course I can see it." Qiu Heng said softly.
Liniang glanced at Huiniang proudly, picked up a fragrant pendant and looked at it, then picked up another one. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it.
"Have you finished reading Mrs. Li?"
"Well, Miss Qiuliu's incense making skills are really good." Liniang was full of praise.
"Then I'm going back." Qiu Heng put the box away and walked out.
Huiniang almost laughed out loud and walked beside Qiu Heng: "I will send Miss Qiu Liu out."
Liniang, who was left behind, also lost her smile and almost broke her silver teeth.
She goes to find the master!
