C25 Cui'er's Mind

Mrs Zhang and Bai Lingyao looked at each other. A moment later, they asked, "What happened? How did the Fourth Miss bully you?"

"Fourth Miss might have discovered that the servant was doing something in her water. Yesterday, she had poured a pot of hot water into the servant girl's mouth." Cui'er felt wronged.

Mrs Zhang held her chin in concentration, the water was something she had ordered Cui Er to do. Although she was the principal mother, Bai Ruotong had never treated her with respect before. She had only let her drink stagnant water in order to get even with her. Bai Ruotong ate for half a year, but still didn't find anything wrong with it. How could she find out about it now?

"How did she find out?"

Cui'er shook her head, "The servant doesn't know."

"Forget it, let's just exchange water for her." Mrs Zhang said.

"Mother, tell me, how did Bai Ruotong suddenly become smart?" Bai Lingyao interrupted. She had come to ask Zhang Shi yesterday that although Bai Ruotong didn't know who was in the way, she had easily dismissed the Old Granny with a few words.

Bai Ruotong had never been able to talk, and she also had a bad temper. Every time she replied to the old lady, the old lady would always be so angry that she would jump up and down. Why would the old lady let her go so easily this time?

Cui Er's eyes turned as if she had thought of something, "Eldest Miss's words reminded the servant girl that she had almost forgotten something. This morning, the Fourth Miss went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for Eldest Young Master. The servant had followed the Fourth Miss for more than two years, but she had never seen the Fourth Miss light a fire and cook. She's perfectly fine, why would she suddenly think of cooking. "

Mrs Zhang was startled: "You said that Bai Ruotong personally cooked?"

"It is absolutely true. How could this servant dare to lie to Madam?" Cui'er quickly replied.

"Does the madame know about this?" Mrs Zhang asked.

Cui'er shook her head, "The madame does not know. The servant does not know whether she should reveal this matter or not. Without the mistress's instructions, the servant would not dare to speak carelessly."

Mrs Zhang carefully thought, as a daughter of the Qian Jin, Bai Ruotong could not easily go to such an oily place like the kitchen. It would be better to send someone to the old lady's ears and tell her that it was better for the old lady to scold her.

Although Old Granny had let Bai Ruotong off yesterday, how could Zhang Clan let this matter go so easily? She had long since sent word of Prince Rong's return to the capital, and the old lady had ordered that no one should comment on it. However, she couldn't stop her mouth from growing on a person's body.

Presumably, the old lady was having a headache right now.

"Cui Er," Zhang Shi called Cui Er over to her side and held her hand, saying in a friendly tone, "Take good care of Bai Ruotong. After some time, I will tell the old lady that she wants you back. Bai Ruotong is lacking a smart girl, if you were missing, who would be able to tell me about her? "

Cui Er choked with sobs and nodded with tears in her eyes. She was originally the Zhang family's servant. Two years ago, the Zhang family sent her to be the head of the Bai Ruotong courtyard. Although she was called the Sect Leader, she was actually the spy that the Zhang family had placed in front of Bai Ruotong.

Cui'er felt extremely wronged at the prospect of following a sickly young miss. She just wanted to return to Lady Zhang's side as soon as possible.

The Qing Tong Courtyard.

"Cui'er …"

In the small room, Bai Ruotong lifted the curtain and called softly. It was sunny outside the window, but the room was empty. She got off the bed and headed outside. It was lunchtime, but not a single grain of rice could be smelled in the yard.

She strode towards the main hall. Even before she entered, she could already hear laughter filling the hall. There were both men and women; it was extremely lively.

Bai Ruotong frowned and coughed twice before stepping into the doorway. The people in the door saw her as if she were a mouse seeing a cat and immediately stopped laughing and stood up.
