Just as I was about to take Lan Li's hand and pull her aside to ask more questions, I suddenly saw several figures turn around at the side of the corridor.

"There's someone." I immediately whispered to Lan Li.

Lan Ling was a well-informed person. She smiled as she touched a bud on the side. "Miss, these flowers are about to bloom!"

I smiled and nodded. I saw that Mother Du and that little servant girl, Wu'er, were walking over.

"Miss." Mother Du smiled and bent her knees, "Seeing that you haven't gone back yet, we old ladies are extremely anxious. We called for me to come welcome you!"

"Looking at this spring scene, I forgot about the time." I greeted her with a smile. The young maid timidly followed behind her and tugged at the corner of Mother Du's clothes.

It seems like this little girl and Mother Du have some connections.

"Please, miss." Mama Du smiled and gave way, obediently following me as I led the way.

I pointed to the little maid behind her who looked like a small tail

He asked with a smile, "Whose little girl is this?"

Seeing that I understood her intentions, Du mama replied with a smile, "This is my niece. She usually stays with me in the old lady's room."

He didn't say that he was a servant in his grandmother's house. It seemed that he was only temporarily staying in his grandmother's house and hadn't really entered the palace yet.

Ever since Lu Ping had left, my room had been free of the position of a big girl. Although I didn't say it, in reality, Lan Li and Lu Kou had both taken over Lu Ping's job, helping me manage the finances of the house and the storeroom. Since the two of them did such a thing, the second class maidservants are in need. Lan Li also told me that there were many wives who would send her some food and clothes, hoping to bring their girls in.

Now, with Mother Du leading this little girl, she probably did the same thing.

The little girl called Wu'er had a round face and her squeezed eyes were narrowed into slits. She looked quite simple and honest, but she didn't have that kind of cute and quick-witted look on her face. Her looks were secondary. Seeing how restrained she was, she was afraid that she wasn't an intelligent person. It was inevitable that she would fall short.

"This servant heard from the old lady that the young lady's room was lacking people, so I wanted to bring her in and show her to the young lady. If possible, you can stay behind." Mother Du's words were a little astringent, but she didn't insist on staying. She only said that she wanted to take a look. It was probably because she felt that this child didn't meet my standards.

This was going to be difficult! If I reject it at once, mother Du will not show it on her face, and will definitely be unhappy in her heart. I'm afraid that even if she entered my house, she wouldn't be able to become a first-rate maid, and then, she would still be able to arouse Mother Du's ire.

Since he couldn't deal with it now, he might as well delay it for a while.

With this thought in mind, I smiled and promised Mother Du, "The other maidservants haven't taken a look, and I'll write back to mother after I've taken a look."

When Mother Du heard that I didn't reject her at once, she had a flattering smile on her face. "You are right, Miss."

Mother Du accompanied me back to my grandmother's house, and told her about how poor Wu Er's family was, and how her parents hoped that she could enter the mansion to work so they could earn some money to help them make up for their family.

Even though I didn't say it directly, Du Miaoxuan's earnest tone told me that if I could keep this little girl here, it would be a great thing to do.

I couldn't answer, so I hurried along, echoing her words.

Mama Du had personally drawn the curtains for me and was just seeing Mother in her bright red peony flowers and flowers. She was sitting on the kang, holding a slip of paper in her hand and laughing with Grandmother.

"Grandmother, mother." Smiling, I bent my knees, bowed to my grandmother and mother, and sat down on the mat in front of the kang.

"Why are you here at such a time?" she asked me, putting down the list.

"I'm the one who asked her to go and take a look at our boss's house." Grandmother smiled and answered for me.

When his mother heard this, her eyes dimmed. After a moment of absent-mindedness, she returned to her usual dignified smile.

"Mom, can you look at these dishes?" The mother smiled and handed the list to her grandmother.

Grandmother did not extend her hand to receive it. "I have always been at ease when you do things! We'll do as you say! Without my food and drinks, I will only look for you! " Ye Zichen took out the pink Immortality Peach Cover bowl on the table and took a sip of tea.

"Look at what you're saying!" She smiled and tucked the list into her sleeve. She took a sip of tea and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief from her sleeve.

"Is there a banquet to be held in the near future?" Since my mother had come to my grandmother to ask for a menu, it must not be a family dinner.

"You silly girl, how could you forget your grandmother's birthday!" My mother pointed at me and smiled.

I slapped my head in fear. "Really! How could I have forgotten that tomorrow is Grandmother's birthday! It really deserves to be punished! "

"Ask your grandmother how to punish you?" Mother joked and teased her grandmother.

"Let her sweep through my land and yours!" Grandmother laughed.

"Grandmother!" I coquettishly lay down on grandmother's body, grandmother smiled to embrace me.

After having lunch with his grandmother and mother, his mother said that she had something to prepare for the banquet, so she left first. I chatted with Grandmother for a while, and Grandmother said she was tired, so I went out after her.

Lan Lingyun was standing at the door and talking to Mother Du. When she saw me come out, she came up to me with Mother Du.

"Miss is going back." Mama Du smiled and greeted him.

I nodded and brought Lan Lingyun out. Mother Du knelt down and greeted me with a salute. I hurriedly gave her a meaningful glance, and she helped Mother Du up. Smiling, she said, "Mother is the old man by the Old Ancestor's side."

Mama Du walked me all the way to the gate before she turned back.

When we reached the depths of the bamboo forest, Lan Lan supported my arm and said, "That Mother Du sure is something! What kind of people will be sent to our house? "

I patted Lan Li's hand and said smilingly, "We'll talk about it when we get back home."

Lan Li's eyes dimmed as she smiled and followed behind me.

Returning to my room, I found Lu Qu sitting on the floor of my room, sewing. When he saw me return, he came up to me with a smile. "Miss, you're back."

I smiled and nodded. "Is your arm better?"

"It's fine since long ago!" The green robber came up and bent his knees. He saw me bringing Lan Lingyun to the screen and stopped in front of the brick bed.

Lan Ling followed me into the screen, took off my coat for me, and put the thimble in my arms and asked, "Miss, would you like to take a nap now or wait for a while?"

"Let's talk about this first!" I pointed to the row of clothes in the wardrobe, which were made of plain, soft fabric.

After changing into a plain brocade blouse with a blue pleated skirt tied underneath, I went out and sat on the kang.

"Young mistress, please use it!" Lu Kui smiled as he handed over a cup of tea. His smile was very considerate, as if he drank a cup of cold tea in the middle of summer.

I took it and took a sip. It was light and distant, and the green bandit's tea ceremony had improved once again.

After praising Green Bandits with a smile, the two maidservants stood in front of me, brimming with joy. I pointed at the chair in front of me. "Hurry and sit!"

The two maidservants smiled in acknowledgment. Green Buccaneer sat on a brocade seat nearby, and Lan Li sat on the foot in front of me.

"Tell me what Hong Chang said?" I motioned for Lan Ling to tell me about today.

Lan Ling looked at Lu Ke and recounted the events of the day from the beginning: "I did as Miss instructed, and went to Hong Chang to ask Liu Lang about the matter. According to her, the doctor was indeed brought into the old lady's courtyard by his wife, and was indeed originally invited in by his wife. However, this teacher wasn't invited by his wife, but rather the master had heard that Aunt Chen had always been in a bad mood ever since she was pregnant. It's the medical fees. They're all from the outer court. "

If it was a female servant who invited them, the money would naturally come from the inner court. It was the same Huang Gongzi who used to see Grandmother often, and the fees were always deducted from Grandmother's tuition fee. But it would be different if they were invited from the outer court. The medical fees, medicinal formulas, and medicinal ingredients would all have to come out from the outer court. They would have to go through all of their father's handiwork.

Would father harm his own flesh and blood?

As soon as the thought crossed my mind, I rejected it. I saw with my own eyes what my father expected of the child! He had even personally witnessed his father's respect for his grandmother!

In the morning, I also tested Aunt Chen, but it didn't seem to be her doing.

What was left seemed to be only for the mother to do.

The three of us stood in silence for a long time before Lan Li finally asked, "Miss, who do you think did this?"

Her question was straightforward!

"Who do you think?" I threw her question back.

"This servant feels that this was caused by Madam." I glanced at Green Buster, and although she didn't say anything, her expression said she agreed with Lan Li.

Although I also felt that it was my mother's doing, it was still better to be cautious.

Since it wasn't something that could be found out in a day or two, he might as well protect his grandmother first.

I thought of the pill that Aunt Chen had given me and took out the handkerchief from my bosom. The two maidservants had surprised looks in their eyes, but they still sat down gracefully on the spot.

Pulling a hairpin from my head, I cut the pill in half and passed it to Lan Li. "Think of a way to go to the obscure pharmacy and ask if there's anything wrong with this medicine. Then, ask about the background of this Liu Lang."

Lan Lingyun took the medicine, took out her handkerchief and pouch, and also took out the square I gave her in the morning, offering it back to me with both hands.

"Since I've already given it to you, it's yours!" I smiled at her.

Lan Lingyun smiled as she thanked him, then wrapped the medicine in a handkerchief and placed it in her bosom. She then sat down and continued, "I feel that it's better to leave this matter to sister Lu Kui."

The green bandit smiled at Lan, and Lan continued to say, "I sold myself into the house, and went out to beat people up without relatives or friends. But Big Sister Lu Kou is a child of the family, and her parents and relatives are outside. It would be better to find Big Sister Zhou and bring her out.

It wasn't that I hadn't thought about what Lan Li had said, but that I felt that the Green Bandits might not follow me in the future, and would more or less prefer Lan Lingyun.

He had not expected that Lan Li, a little girl who had grown up as a servant girl, would have such an imposing manner.

I smiled and looked at Lu Kui, who smiled and said, "Miss, if you trust me, I will definitely do it for you."

"Then I'll be troubling you!" "I patted Green Cock's hand." What name would I give you? "

Lu Kui pursed his lips into a smile and cast a sidelong glance at Lan Li. "Miss, there's no need to look for me. The day after tomorrow is the day my two aunts and my two sisters get married. I can also go watch the show."

"The two of you are lying to me." I teased the two of them.

"Miss, you have truly wronged me to death! How would I have known that my sister's sister was going to be married off! " Lan Li wiped her face with her sleeve, looking like a wronged wife.

"The two of you have been winking at each other for a long time. Do you think I can't see it?" I feigned anger as I said this.

The two maidservants also laughed.
