[QTC] MBDT Chapter 1642

“What do you want to eat? I’ll cook tonight.” Bei Yutang said to the two children.

Xiao Zimo immediately shook his head, “Mother, you just woke up. Let us cook dinner.”

Daixiang readily agreed, “Sister Mu, you rest well. Leave dinner to me.”

Seeing their worried expressions, she smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’m not as delicate as you think. It’s just a little dinner, I can manage.”

Unable to persuade her otherwise, Bei Yutang finally cooked herself.

Bei Yutang looked at Daixiang, who was helping her, “I’ve been sleeping these past few days. You must have been terrified, right?”

Daixiang nodded and then shook her head: “Sister Mu, should we go see a doctor?”

Bei Yutang smiled and said, “No need, it’s an old ailment. You’ll get used to it.”

Daixiang wondered how such an illness existed, causing excessive sleepiness, and sometimes sleeping for days at a time without waking up.

Because of Bei Yutang’s return, the small courtyard felt more lively, and there was much more laughter in the house than a few days ago.

The next morning, at the crack of dawn, two figures, one tall and one short, were breathing heavily in the courtyard.

When Daixiang got up, she saw her two masters busy practicing martial arts. She quietly went to the kitchen without disturbing them.

After she finished making breakfast, Bei Yutang and Xiao Zimo also finished their morning practice.

They had just finished breakfast when there was a loud knocking on the courtyard gate.

Daixiang went to open it and was surprised to see Zhao Erhu standing there.

“I’m looking for Madam.”

Daixiang stepped aside and led him inside.

This house was rented through Zhao Erhu’s introduction, so the two were quite familiar with each other.

As soon as Bei Yutang saw him, she knew that things were progressing, but she wasn’t in a hurry for him to speak.

“Sit down and eat with us.”

Zhao Erhu initially refused, but seeing the thick white porridge, fluffy meat buns, and various delicious side dishes on the table, his stomach rumbled uncontrollably.

Zhao Erhu didn’t stand on ceremony. After thanking her, he sat down to eat breakfast with them.

Such a lavish breakfast was only afforded by wealthy families, and even then, it wasn’t something that they could eat every day. Judging from their appearance, it seemed to be the most ordinary meal. He couldn’t help but envy the little girl Daixiang, who was enjoying such a good life with such a good master.

After settling the matter of basic necessities, Zhao Erhu began to get down to business.

“I’ve made some progress on the person you asked me to inquire about. The Qian family you mentioned is no longer in Linzhou Prefecture. Three years ago, he committed a crime, and his entire family was imprisoned. As for the maids and servants in the Qian mansion, they were all sold off.”

“I found two maids among these maids who somewhat resembled the one you described. They are now in different places. One is working as a maid in the Zhang family, and the other is…”

Zhao Erhu paused here.

He wasn’t sure what her relationship was with the woman she was looking for, but whatever the relationship, that place was always difficult to discuss.

“Where is it?” Bei Yutang asked.

Seemingly noticing his worry, she added at the end, “It’s alright, just tell me.”

Zhao Erhu coughed lightly and said, “The Yihong Courtyard.”

Bei Yutang was no longer a sheltered young lady confined to her chambers, so hearing the name, she naturally knew what kind of place it was.

Once a woman ends up in such a place, her life is essentially over.
