491 My Jiaojiao (4)
When Nanny Zhao, who was Chang Zaiqing’s nanny, saw that Chang Zaiqing had returned, she quickly came forward to put a cloak on Chang Zaiqing and said worriedly, “Miss, how did it go with Third Madam Shen today?”
It was Nanny Zhao’s idea to get Chang Zaiqing to enter the capital to ask the Shen family for help. If she still did not think of a way, Chang Zaiqing would really be hopeless. However, the Shen family and the Chang family had not been in touch for so many years. People were capricious. Old General Shen was willing to take care of the Chang family. Without Old General Shen around, who knew how the Shen family would treat Chang Zaiqing?
Chang Zaiqing rubbed her forehead and sat down on the soft couch in the room. “Third Madam Shen is very enthusiastic and agreed to let us stay for a while. Even if those people come to the capital, they probably won’t dare to provoke the Shen family.”
Only then did Nanny Zhao pat her chest and heave a sigh of relief. “Amitabha. Your father said that everyone in the Shen family has a kind heart. I was originally worried for you. I’m afraid the Shen family won’t help. Now it seems that I can rest assured.”
“Nanny, you’re thinking too much.” Chang Zaiqing sneered and looked disdainful. “There is no free lunch in the world. Even Old General Shen took care of the Chang family because my father took a knife for him back then. There’s no such thing as being good to people for no reason. Third Madam Shen is so enthusiastic because she thinks I’m useful to her.”
Nanny Zhao was shocked and looked at Chang Zaiqing. “Miss, do you mean that Third Madam Shen is not a good person? What should we do?”
“Nanny, don’t worry.” Chang Zaiqing comforted her, but his eyes were cold. “Third Madam Shen wants something from me, and I want something from her too. Although I don’t know what she’s up to, I… will find a way.”
“But…” Nanny Zhao was still a little uneasy.
“Don’t worry, Nanny.” Chang Zaiqing smiled and said, “We’ve been through all kinds of difficulties. Now that we have a way out, what’s there to be afraid of? Since the Shen family is a springboard, we naturally have to make good use of it. Third Madam Shen wants to use me, but I’m also using her.”
Nanny Zhao looked at Chang Zaiqing and finally nodded.
…
The land in the capital was naturally expensive. Apart from the palace, the most expensive land was Yanqing Alley. Yanqing Alley was located in the south of the city, and not far away were the most prosperous restaurants and shops. Facing the river, the scenery was unique. The reason why the land in Yanqing Alley was expensive was not only because it was the residence of the nobles of the previous dynasty, but also because once a particularly famous Daoist who came to look at feng shui here said that this place had dragon qi. Other than the nobles, no one could suppress the dragon qi here.
The royal family of Ming Qi was not in the south of the city, so they could not build a new palace. That way, the people would have complaints, and the treasury would not be able to fork out so much money. However, who dared to live in a place with dragon qi? Wouldn’t that be disrespectful to the emperor if they lived there? Even if some people were bold enough to do that, they could not fork out so much money, so Yanqing Alley was empty for many years.
At this moment, Yanqing Alley was finally occupied by the people of the State of Qin and the Daliang Dynasty. They were both nobles and had inexhaustible money. There was no place more suitable for them to live than Yanqing Alley. They could not live in the palace. If that happened, Emperor Wen Hui would probably not be able to sleep at night.
At this moment, there were soldiers guarding the mansion in the innermost part of Yanqing Alley. Although it was a mansion, it looked like a smaller palace. It was luxuriously decorated and had a huge area.
