"A servant is afraid of death, do you really want to turn the world upside down for her!?"

Grandmother smacked the table, shaking the white porcelain bowl on the table so hard that the tea spilled all over it.

I dropped to my knees and bowed my head.

The mother smiled and said softly, "Mother, why are you so angry? Yuanyuan is still young, so she doesn't know anything."

Hearing her mother's words, Grandma's face became slightly pale, and Mother Du hurried over to clean it up.

"Since she's grown up, at least leave some dignity for her. Red Jade, go to my box and take out 50 taels of silver for her to bury. " Grandmother ordered Red Jade as per normal habit, but when she turned around, she found that Red Jade was not by her side.

"This girl, she's so obedient. Seeing that I'm on fire, she decided to leave early." Grandmother's benevolent smile returned to her face.

When his mother saw this, a proud smile appeared on her face. This family was in her hands after all, even if it was her grandmother who didn't listen to her wishes!

"If you like her this much, your wife will be jealous!" The mother replied, "Why aren't you getting up? Call them back for your grandmother."

When did his mother, who valued etiquette the most, instruct the young lady she raised to ask for a maidservant?

I laughed self-deprecatingly. If a person is too complacent, they would reveal a little something.

"Yes."

I acted like I was being submissive. After hesitating for a moment as though I was stuck in a dilemma, I left in a hurry without even bowing. My mother behind me smiled in satisfaction at my cowardly and ignorant look.

To raise such a daughter, to marry into the Xue Clan, she would use her if she had fought with her legal wife.

The young maidservants lifted the curtains for me. Their faces were calm as they silently bowed without a single word. He went up the corridor and entered a side room in the courtyard. The first room was Red Jade's room, and it was meant to be close to his grandmother so that he could easily order her around.

The storm just now, more or less red jade knew!

Inside the house, a warm fragrance wafted in the air. This was the lily fragrance Father had found for Grandmother to calm her heart down. The fire in the red jade room was only normal, so it could be seen how much weight Grandmother had in her heart. Just as he was about to open his ears to listen in to the gossip between Lu Ping and Hong Yu, a little girl shouted from outside the window, "Sister Hong Yu, the old lady is calling for you! Is Miss coming to your side? "

After hearing these words, Lu Ping and Hong Yu both stood up to welcome her. After saying a few polite words, they left with Lu Ping and Hong Yu before turning around and walking out of the courtyard.

As he walked out of his grandmother's courtyard, he saw a wooden bridge before him. Below him was a shallow river. It was the middle of winter and the moon was in the middle of winter. The river was covered with ice and was covered with a thick layer of snow.

I touched my ear. A pair of gold leaf earrings jingled under my ear.

It was a pity for such delicate workmanship!

I took it off and threw it into the snowdrift.

When Lu Ping saw me, she wanted to ask me anxiously. After being glared at by me, she lowered her head and obediently followed behind me.

"Miss, why did you throw the earrings into the snow?" I asked in a low voice as I walked into the garden, where the pines were overgrown with branches and leaves.

I couldn't help smiling.

I didn't expect this girl to have such a clever moment!

I imitated her and whispered into her ear, "What do you think?"

Lu Ping thought that I was going to tell her the reason, so she listened attentively. Unexpectedly, I said something that didn't matter to her. She frowned and stood behind me as if I didn't want to care about you.

What a childish temper!

I grinned and made a face at her, pretending to be frightened. "Crap! One of my earrings fell off. Grandmother gave it to me! "

When Lu Ping saw this, she was still fuming. She stood aside and coldly stared at me.

I walked up and tugged on her sleeve. "Your young lady's earring is missing. Why aren't you helping her find it?" Lu Ping opened her mouth and said, "Isn't that young miss, you …"

Before she could finish, I hurriedly said, "I heard that there's a girl called Red Dew who's very clever. I think she might be able to help me find my earpiece."

After hearing what I said, Lu Ping was stunned for a moment. Then, her eyes lit up and she nodded. "Young miss is right. Elder sister Hong Lu is the most enthusiastic one!"

Although Lu Ping isn't intelligent, she has a rare loyalty. I want to raise her from now on so that she will understand the purpose of my actions.

"Go to Grandmother's courtyard and find more people. Look around to see where my earring has fallen. We must find it."

"Yes!" Lu Ping's face was full of excitement as she happily jogged away.

I helplessly smiled as I shook my head. It seems that there are some matters that cannot be rushed at this moment.

Not long later, a group of female servants came out from my grandmother's courtyard. Lu Ping, who was standing in the lead, immediately scattered in all directions. Red Dew quickly followed Lu Ping and arrived in front of me.

"Miss" Red Dew made a full bow.

I smiled up at her. "Aunt Chen is a lucky person."

When Hong Lu heard this, she looked at me in shock.

"Miss!" Hong Lu hurriedly knelt down, her voice trembling, "This servant, this servant, this servant, this servant doesn't dare."

"Aunt Chen, wake up quickly. It's freezing cold in the sky and earth. It's not easy to freeze to death."

I smiled and helped her up, and she rose to her feet. Lu Ping, on the other hand, had been standing around with her back bent as if she was looking for something. In fact, she was keeping watch for me.

It was rare for him to be this smart. He had to praise Lu Ping when he returned.

Hong Lu's face turned slightly red. She pulled at the corner of her clothes as she stood shyly in the snow, looking like a little girl.

What am I not sure about, seeing her face?

When she thought about it, she couldn't help but feel pity for her mother. She was determined to be an aunt, and when she asked me to marry her, she pointed out Hong Lu so that she could marry into a proper family. However, Hong Lu wanted to be an aunt and thought that since there was no direct son in the family, she could have a legitimate son to stand shoulder to shoulder with the legal wife.

But how could his mother be so easy to fool?

"I'm willing to help you."

I took a step forward and held Red Dew's hand. She winced, but didn't take it back.

"What does Miss want me to do?" Red Dew lowered her head and blushed, her voice was soft but firm.

What he wanted was such an ambitious and smart person!

"I'll be moving into Grandmother's yard soon. I want you to come and attend to me."

"That's it?" I was a head shorter than Red Dew, who was looking down at me now with a look of mockery and surprise on her face.

Although she was smart, she didn't have too many things to take care of.

I pursed my lips into a smile as I looked at Red Dew.

However, the chess piece in my hand, what qualifications do you have to ask me about my plans?

"This servant will be decided by Young Miss." Red Dew saluted, took out something wrapped in a handkerchief, and gave it to me with both hands.

I squeezed it with my hand and knew that it was the earring I had thrown into the snow.

"Little Sister Lu Ping!" Hong Lu called out, "I found Miss's earpiece. I think it accidentally fell into the pile of snow."

"Give two taels of silver to HongLu, and let her come out to help find us." Give two taels of silver to HongLu, and come out to help find her mother.

After hearing my words, Lu Ping quickly took out a small silver pear from her purse and gave it to Hong Lu.

Red Dew accepted it calmly with a smile on her face.

"Miss, two taels is too much. I can buy a few jars of wine!" On the way back, Lu Ping complained to me in a low voice.

"Two taels of silver to see if this person can be of great use, why is he so rich?" I smiled at Lina.

"Miss, what are you bragging about!" Lu Ping pouted as she complained. She then used her foot to kick up a snowflake that had accumulated on the ground.
