Chapter 279: Delivering Food

Looking at the waiter who kept kowtowing and admitting his mistake on the ground, Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't buy it at all and deliberately said fiercely: "You've been following us for so long; who knows what your intentions are! Go, now we are going to take you to see the official; you can leave your tricks of begging for mercy and admitting mistakes to the Yamen master."

As soon as the waiter heard about seeing the official, he panicked immediately. He couldn't care about kowtowing and admitting his mistake and hurriedly told the reason for following them one by one.

He was indeed sent by Yu Ying'er.

After booking the guest room at the inn, Yu Ying'er set her sights on Jiang Xiaoxiao. After Jiang Xiaoxiao left, she gave him five taels of silver and asked him to follow the mother and daughter's tracks and then go back to report to her.

He also felt that doing such a thing was not good, but the temptation of five taels of silver was too great...

He worked hard at the inn for a day and only earned a few dozen copper coins. These five taels of silver could offset his wages for more than half a year.

"I was wrong, I was really wrong, I will never dare again, I beg the two of you not to report to the official..." The waiter cried bitterly and kowtowed on the ground to admit his mistake. His head was already red and swollen and bleeding, but he didn't dare to stop.

Jiang Xiaoxiao wrinkled her little face and looked at her mother.

She didn't know how to solve this kind of thing either, so she could only let her mother do it.

Jiang Wei curled her lips, then bent down unhurriedly and personally helped the waiter up.

She said gently: "Since that's the case, then you go back and report to her truthfully according to what you saw while following us."

"Ah?" The waiter was stunned.

Even Jiang Xiaoxiao on the side couldn't help but be stunned.

What did that mean?

What was her mother going to do, why did she want the waiter to report to that Yu Ying'er?

Jiang Wei's lips still curled with a smile, but there was no smile in her eyes, "Go."

The waiter was very confused, but looking at Jiang Wei's smiling appearance, he couldn't help but shiver.

He didn't dare to think too much, nor did he dare to stay too long, so he hurriedly responded twice and turned and ran.

Jiang Xiaoxiao watched his back as he ran away, and then looked at her mother who was smiling creepily, only feeling that her mother was brewing some big conspiracy.

Sure enough, the next second, Jiang Wei's voice rang in her ear: "Xiaoxiao, Mother will teach you another trick today: treat others the way they treat you."

Jiang Xiaoxiao: "... Mother, I still don't understand what you mean."

"The trap has been set; it just depends on how she falls into it." Jiang Wei didn't explain too much, only letting her wait quietly to watch the show.

"Let's go, it's about time; let's find a place to eat."

Jiang Wei took advantage of the fact that there was no one in the alley, waved her hand, and put all the fish, shrimp, and crabs she just bought into the space, and then held Jiang Xiaoxiao and walked toward the restaurant not far away.

At the same time.

The waiter who hurried back to the inn bumped into Yu Ying'er who had just come out of the inn.

"You dog slave, you don't have eyes!" Yu Ying'er was so angry that she scolded.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's the small one who didn't have eyes." The waiter didn't dare to talk back to Yu Ying'er at all and hurriedly lowered his head to admit his mistake.

After seeing clearly who it was, Yu Ying'er's angry face eased a little, and she asked: "Why did you come back? How is the matter I ordered you to do?"

"The small one followed them and saw that the mother and daughter had long left the medical hall and were strolling around the wharf, buying a lot of small fish and shrimp..."

Hearing that the mother and daughter bought a lot of small fish and shrimp, Yu Ying'er couldn't help but sneer: "Sure enough, they are country bumpkins who have never seen the world. A little bit of small fish and shrimp makes them so excited. I guess the money the Lady rewarded them with is almost spent."

"And then?" After mocking, Yu Ying'er continued to ask, "Where did they go later?"

The waiter lowered his head: "They wandered around without any method and didn't seem to intend to return to the medical hall, so... I came back..."

"What!" Yu Ying'er glared, "You took my money and didn't do things according to my orders?!"

The waiter lowered his head even more: "I saw that they didn't have anything to do..."

"Forget it, forget it." Yu Ying'er saw this and didn't want to argue anymore, waving her hand to let the waiter leave. Anyway, knowing that the mother and daughter wouldn't return to the medical hall for the time being was already the best news.

As long as the two of them were outside, it would be easy for her to take action against Su Wanwan.

Thinking this, she turned to look at Yu'er in the lobby on the first floor of the inn.

Fearing that Su Wanwan wouldn't have anything to eat in the medical hall, Yu'er had already packed the food and was preparing to send it to Su Wanwan.

She frowned. She absolutely couldn't let Yu'er go over and ruin her good deed; she had to find a way to stop her.

Thinking of this, Yu Ying'er's gaze fell on the waiter again.

"Wait—what's wrong with the injury on your head?"

The waiter who was about to leave stiffened, then bent down and explained: "The small one accidentally fell on the way back."

Yu Ying'er coldly swept a glance at the waiter's bruised forehead and didn't think much about it, but said: "I'll arrange for you to do one more thing; come with me."

After saying this, she turned and walked toward Yu'er inside.

At this moment, Yu'er was paying the money and putting the food into a rosewood food box, preparing to send it to her Lady.

"Yu'er, did you forget what Lady Jiang said? Now that the Lady is not feeling well, let's not go and disturb her." Yu Ying'er said and reached out to grab the food box in Yu'er's hand.

Yu'er dodged her hand and said lightly: "I'm just sending some food to the Lady; I'll come back after sending it and won't disturb her."

"You girl, why are you so disobedient!" Yu Ying'er said deliberately severely, "I wouldn't harm our Lady. How about this, give the food box to this waiter and let him help run the errand and send it to the Lady. Do you think that's okay?"

Yu'er suspiciously looked at the waiter who was burying his head and not speaking behind Yu Ying'er.

She intuitively felt that Yu Ying'er was weird, but the waiter in this inn... should be trustworthy, right?

However, Yu Ying'er didn't wait for her to hesitate, snatched the food box from her hand, and stuffed it directly to the waiter beside her, "Send these meals to the Lady in the medical hall across the street."

Yu Ying'er's orders carried unquestionable authority.

The waiter didn't dare to refuse and could only silently carry the food box out of the inn.

"Now you should be at ease." Yu Ying'er glanced at Yu'er sideways.

Yu'er pursed her lips and said nothing.

She always felt something was wrong.

But she watched the food being made by the cook in the inn with her own eyes and it didn't pass through Yu Ying'er's hands, so it should be fine...

Just as Yu'er was thinking, Yu Ying'er suddenly held her stomach and cried out in pain: "Oh, my stomach suddenly hurts. It must be because I ate too much just now. I'm going to the latrine; you wait for me here."

After saying this, she hurriedly ran toward the backyard of the inn.

For the convenience of guests, the backyard of the inn usually had a latrine.

Of course, there was also a back door.

Yu Ying'er left the inn from the back door and caught up with the waiter who hadn't gone far. ===== CHAPTER 280 =====
