070 Purge the Gate

  Since things have come to an end, everyone has dispersed.

  Song Lingyu brought Zhi Lan and Hui Zhen back to Qianlu Garden, and also gave them some of the best golden wound medicine.

  She raised her hand to cover her right arm, it seems it's time to clean up the door.

  Two days later, a loud crash of porcelain came from the Qian Luyuan. Song Lingyu walked over with her maid, where three or four maids were already gathered. Song Lingyu asked: "What's going on?"

  A maid tottered forward a few steps and said: "M-miss, it's this servant who accidentally broke the porcelain."

  Song Lingyu furrowed her brow, took a few steps forward to examine the remains of the porcelain, and revealed an expression that was both distressed and heartbroken. The maid became frightened. "How could you be so careless? This is the birthday gift given by Old Madam!"

  That girl's face turned pale after hearing Song Lingyu's words, and she immediately knelt down, hastily knocking her head: "Big sister spare my life."

  Song Lingyu looked at the porcelain, a face full of regret. She looked at the maid Cuiju who was still kowtowing and said: "Cuiju, you'd better leave. I'll give you some silver, go back to your hometown and live a good life. This matter, I will take care of it myself."

  Cui Ju raised her head, with a look of surprise and gratitude in her eyes.

  One of them, Hui Zhen, hastily pulled her up: "Hey, don't just stand there. If Miss says she'll help you, she definitely will."

  Cui Ju gave Song Lingyu three more loud bows and then led the silver given by Song Lingyu out of the mansion.

  Song Lingyu glanced at Cuiju, and the smile on her face completely disappeared.

  On the way to Jia'an Temple, Zilan said: "That porcelain was one of Miss's favorites, and it was broken. What a pity!"

  Song Lingyu smiled: "I do like that porcelain, but if you don't use good bait, no matter how long the line is, there won't be any fish on the hook."

  Actually, she had already sensed that someone was watching her in the past few days. Due to the madam's temperament, the peaceful and calm atmosphere of the Song Mansion was absolutely an illusion. So, she found some special cosmetics and applied them to the birthmark.

  As for why I knew it was chrysanthemum, it's very simple.

  She took a copper mirror while bathing, pretending to look at her face, but actually looking at the copper mirror behind. The copper mirror was not completely straight, but slightly biased, so she could see people coming and going.

  Originally, Cuiju did a perfect job, but the only mistake was that she intentionally looked back several times when walking out, which made Song Lingyu suspect her.

  But she had no evidence and couldn't be certain. So when everyone was asleep, she let Zhiran follow her, which finally confirmed it.

  When she arrived at the Jia'an Temple, Song Lingyu immediately knelt down in front of the door. At this time, the sky was still a bit cold, and the chill spread up along her knees.

  Before long, Song Lingyu was called in by Mrs. Liu.

  As soon as she saw the old lady, Song Lingyu immediately knelt down: "Please forgive me, madam."

  The old lady put down her teacup, looking bewildered: "What's going on?"

  Just now a maid in Lingyu's room broke the birthday gift that Old Madam gave to Lingyu...

  "Silly child." The old lady smiled and helped her up, "The gift is small, now the weather is cold, you kneeling outside like this, if you catch a chill it won't be good."

  Song Lingyu smiled and then started chatting with the old lady.
