C16 The Maid Was Not Simple

Seeing that Shen Yunxing seemed to want to continue with this question, Ye Yuning raised her eyebrows and smiled. She said, "Whatever it is, I only returned the favor from the previous time. I hope Young Master Shen doesn't mind. Saving a life is better than building a seven-storied pagoda. Even if someone I don't know is poisoned, I will still go and use the Thousand Chance to save him."

Without waiting for Shen Yunxing to speak again, Ye Yuning said again.

"Young Master Shen has already cured the poison. I believe that your body is fine. Can you leave now? It's already late at night, and you and I are alone in the room. It's not good." Facing Shen Yunxing who suddenly appeared in the room, Ye Yuning still instinctively felt a sense of resistance.

Seeing that Ye Yuning kept a distance from him, even though he had saved her, Shen Yunxing was still very polite. A hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.

"Don't worry, Third Miss Ye. I am not Li Changle. I won't do such a bad thing." As he spoke, Shen Yunxing stood up and walked to the window. "I will remember today's favor. In the future, if you have any words, I, Shen Yunxing, will listen to you."

With that, Shen Yunxing leaped out of the window and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Ye Yuning could not help but let out a long sigh of relief when he disappeared. She patted her chest and was still in a state of shock.

"He's finally gone. Shen Yunxing is the youngest son of Prime Minister Shen. How could anyone harm him?" Ye Yuning walked to the table and knocked on the table as she pondered deeply.

Prime Minister Shen had three sons. The eldest son and the second son were both outstanding talents. Compared to them, Shen Yunxing, who was the youngest son, was much worse in terms of talent and character. There were a lot of rumors about him in the market, but they were all about jealousy.

"If it was because of the Shen Residence, the others would have paid more attention to the other two young masters of the Shen Residence." Ye Yuning frowned deeply. She could not figure it out no matter how hard she tried.

Furthermore, why would he appear in the Ye Residence? Coincidentally, he hid in her courtyard? Ye Yuning could not figure out all of these questions.

At this moment, a sound came from outside. Ye Yuning came back to her senses and saw Fei Xiu walking in with a white porcelain bowl.

"Miss, you want the sour plum soup." Fei Xiu slowly walked over to Ye Yuning, completely unaware of what had just happened.

Ye Yuning took the bowl and slowly drank it. She felt refreshed all over and let out a sigh of relief. She quickly threw away her previous doubts.

"I don't want to think about it anymore. In the end, I just helped him out. I'm afraid that we won't meet again in the future." After thinking about it, Ye Yuning laid down with Fei Xiu and quickly fell asleep.

The night passed without a dream. Early in the morning the next day, Ye Yuning got up as usual. After washing up, Fei Qing led the two little maidservants to bring breakfast in.

"Miss, it's time to eat. Today, we have your favorite four-colored crystal bag and fish slices porridge." Ye Yuning sat down at the table and looked at the two maidservants behind Fei Qing.

The two of them wore the same cyan-colored shawls and had the same hair bun. The only difference was that the maidservant on the left had a pink silk flower on her head.

Ye Yuning's gaze paused for a moment and she asked as if nothing had happened, "What are your names? I don't seem to have seen them before."

Fei Qing was a little curious as to why the young miss cared about these two maids, but she tactfully did not ask.

The maid wearing the pink silk flowers first answered, "This servant is Xiang Er. A few days ago, I was sent over by Lin mama."

As soon as she finished speaking, the other maid said, "This servant is Xiao Ye. The young miss has never seen this servant before. Usually, this servant is working in the kitchen. Today, Sister Fei Qing asked the two of us to help deliver the food."

Ye Yuning nodded and did not ask any more questions. She waved her hand and ordered the two of them to leave.

Ye Yuning couldn't help but think deeply as she scooped the bowl of porridge with one hand. Other than Fei Xiu and Fei Qing, the other maids in her courtyard were all sent over when she had just returned to the residence. Among them, there were Lady Wen's, the old mistress's, and of course, there were also the spies planted by Concubine Qiao and Aunt Liu.

Ye Yuning carefully thought back to some details in her previous life and guessed who the people behind these maids were. Thinking about it carefully, there were many things that she didn't notice in her previous life.

At this moment, Fei Xiu walked over and saw that the breakfast on the table had almost not moved. She could not help but advise, "What is the young miss thinking about? This breakfast is almost cold."

Ye Yuning picked up a crystal bag and took a bite. After swallowing it, she raised her head and asked Fei Xiu, "Fei Xiu, do you know the background of the servants in our courtyard?"

Fei Xiu paused for a moment and swept her gaze outside the room. She then hurriedly closed the door and windows before returning to Ye Yuning's side and whispering, "What does Miss want to do? I have been paying attention to this for the past three years. Other than the servants sent by Bai Yi and the other madams, the other servants in the courtyard have all had their own thoughts."

Ye Yuning's eyes lit up. She put down her bowl and chopsticks and said, "Oh? Tell me in detail."

"In our courtyard, the first maidservant is Fei Qing and the second maidservant is Bai Yi, Bai Lan, Cui He, and Cui Zhu. Bai Yi and Bai Lan are the madam's people. They are usually very diligent in their work. Cui He and Cui Zhu are the old madam's people and are very active. However, they are still very obedient. There are also eight third-class maidservants. They are all sent by the various rooms. I only let them do some cleaning and other chores. I rarely let them enter the house."

Fei Xiu finished speaking one by one. Ye Yuning did not see any reaction from her. She could not help but feel puzzled. "Miss, do you have any more questions?"

Ye Yuning waved her hand. What Fei Xiu said was basically the same as what she knew in her previous life, but under the reflection, Ye Yuning realized that it was not the case.

Although Bai Yi and Bai Lan were sent by her mother, they were not her mother's trusted aides. Especially that Bai Lan, although she was respectful on the surface, she was extremely scheming. She often sent messages to Concubine Qiao and the others. Bai Yi was simple, and liked to eat, but she was often exposed.

Cui He and Cui Zhu's thoughts were not here. In her previous life, after Li Changle's incident, the two of them found an excuse to move to another courtyard.

As for those little maidservants, Ye Yuning remembered the little Ye the most clearly. Usually, she did not show her face, and was very low-profile, but in reality, she was the person of Concubine Su! Ye Yuning only knew about this in her previous life before she got married.

In this life, she would not be deceived by these people!

Ye Yuning clenched her fists, and her eyes flashed as she thought, "It's time to take the initiative."

After thinking about it, she called Fei Qing, and the three of them whispered to each other in the room for a long time.

That afternoon, Bai Lan was punished to wash the hairpin that her master liked. Two days later, Cui He and Cui Zhu also punished two people with silver.

The other maids had also received some punishments. The originally relaxed atmosphere in the courtyard was instantly swept away, and the servants no longer dared to be negligent.

Below the hall, Fei Xiu was standing at the door and talking to Xiang Er. Seeing Xiao Ye holding a dark blue bag and walking into the courtyard, she smiled and waved at her, "Xiao Ye, did the young miss bring back her clothes?"

Xiao Ye nodded and quickly walked to Fei Xiu, handing the cloth bag to her, "This is the clothes that were washed yesterday in the washroom. Sister Fei Xiu, take a look and see if it's right."

When Fei Xiu heard this, she did not open it. Instead, she patted Xiao Ye with a gentle expression, "I am very confident in you. Oh right, how is Bai Lan doing?"
