Just as he said 'Mother Du', the sound of her footsteps came from the hall.

Grandmother teased, "It seems that people can't bear to talk about things like that!"

I pursed my lips into a smile and waited for her to come in.

"My lady received the box. She wasn't surprised at all. She let the maidservants by her side take it." Mother Du gasped for breath. It seemed like she had walked all the way back to answer him.

Mother should have known about this a long time ago.

Otherwise, based on her personality, she wouldn't have been able to keep her words watertight.

It's better to know, and save your breath.

"Since the matter has come to an end, I won't disturb your rest any longer." I smiled and got up to leave.

While I was busy trying to sort out the jade belt, I realized that Lu Kuo should still be waiting in my room to say goodbye to me.

"I forgot there was anything else in your room." Grandmother smiled apologetically.

Ever since she stopped using the Calming Incense, her grandmother's memory had improved by a lot.

Mother Du accompanied me out of the room. Lan Ling was already waiting at the door. When she saw me, she hurriedly went up to pay her respects. "Miss, it's getting late. I'll have Big Sister Lu Ku go back and pack her things."

"You sound quite arrogant!" I smiled at Lan.

I was Xiao Lan Li and Lu Kui who were of the same rank, but I used the word 'let', which had a hint of arrogance in it.

Lan Ling smiled shyly, her eyes were bright, and she still stood naturally.

Mother Du smiled as she praised, "Miss, all of the girls in the house are dexterous."

Once those words were said, Mother Du and I were stunned. Embarrassment flashed across our faces.

Mama Du's nephew's daughter, Little Five, was in the middle of a conversation. What she said was very thought-provoking.

With these words of Mother Du here, wouldn't it mean that Wu'er had a foolish temperament, so he couldn't come into my house to serve as a servant?

I was about to say a few words to explain the matter when Mother Du said, "This will expose you even more. Miss, please go back quickly. Be careful on the road and don't slip."

The night was falling, and this was not a good place to talk!

I smiled and replied, "Sorry for troubling you, Mom!" He brought Lan Lingyun to the courtyard.

"Miss, why did you take so long to come out!" Lan Li asked with a hint of complaint as she supported me.

"I had a chat with my grandmother, so it took me a while." I smiled faintly.

It's not that I don't want to tell Lan Li about the jade belt, but that I think it's safer if only a few people know about it.

Lan Ling's expression darkened. She didn't say anything more and replied with a smile, "Then let's go back quickly!" He stopped talking.

Lan Li was a very smart girl.

On the road, we were master and servant, one in front of the other, but we didn't say anything.

In my time with Lan Li, there were few times when there was such an awkward silence.

I opened my mouth to explain that I hadn't meant to hide it from her. However, as the words reached my mouth, I swallowed them back into my stomach.

Lan Ling is my right-hand woman, if she doesn't even have this little bit of tacit understanding with me, there will be even more trouble in the future, how can she adapt to it?

If he couldn't adapt to this lifestyle, he might as well return home as soon as possible.

He didn't know why, but in the future, he would definitely take his life!

Understanding this section, I still silently walked my way, looking at Lan Ling in front of me holding a lone lamp, walking shakily.

"Miss, be careful of the threshold." Lan Ling's voice was not the same as before, it sounded even more gentle.

I smiled and nodded towards her before I walked through the door. The old woman on the door transmitted loudly, "The young mistress is back!"

The curtains of the main house were askew, revealing a tall woman in a peach-colored suit and a stout mother in a lilac one.

"Miss, you're back!" The green bandit bowed, neither arrogant nor impatient, neither hurried nor slow, as if he was in no hurry for my late return.

This kind of bearing was already very rare!

I smiled and nodded towards her. I reached out my hand to support Zhou's mother. "Have you been waiting for me?"

That old woman smiled innocently and really shook my hand. "Seeing that you didn't come back this late, I was indeed in a hurry!"

When the green bandit saw that not only did his mother pull at me, she even vaguely said the words in his heart. He couldn't help but be a little anxious as he stepped forward and pulled her hand away and apologetically said, "Miss, my mother has never been served in the inner courtyard before. She doesn't know the rules!"

Her face was completely red, and her eyes were full of reproach. It was rare for the green bandit to reveal such an expression.

"In the future, you will speak to your mother-in-law in this way too!" I laughed and teased Green Cock, and they escorted me through the door.

Mother Zhou had an idea that week, as if she was going to pull me over and say something.

Lu Kui was quick to react. He grabbed his mother and scolded her in a low voice, "Mother!"

The only thing that could make Mother Zhou so anxious to ask me was probably the marriage of her precious son!

I smiled, while Lan Li helped me to take off my wind pocket, she told me what was on my mind. "As the saying goes, 'If you are anxious, you cannot eat hot tofu.' I remember everything that my mother asked me to do!"

Just as Mama Zhou was about to say something, Lu Kui quickly followed up: "Miss's business is more important!"

Zhou's mother glared at her daughter in disappointment, but she had no other choice but to give up with a sigh.

This kind of interaction between a warm mother and daughter, and even some playful banter, is something I have never experienced in both my lives.

After taking off my outer garments, seeing that it was getting late, I did not change my clothes, but sat on the kang near the window and talked to them.

"I am very curious about one thing, but since I am in the inner court and have no information, I would like you to help me ask around!" I smiled and took a sip of my tea.

The two maidservants know my temperament, I told you to sit down because that's what I really thought. If you don't want to, you won't even be able to touch the edge of the chair.

Lu Kui didn't hesitate. He pulled his mother down and said with a serious tone, "Young Miss, please speak!"

I couldn't help but laugh when I saw the serious look on Green Buccaneer's face.

"It's nothing much!"

The serious look on Lu Kui's face made me a little embarrassed and I couldn't open my mouth.

After all, he wanted to know more about her.

"Cough …" "Cough …" I cleared my throat, actually trying to find a proper excuse.

"Miss Wen is a very straightforward person, and she has a lot of movements and movements. I wanted to be on good terms with her, but I don't know what kind of situation the Wen family is in, so I wanted you to find out for me."

I was a little proud of myself, and this excuse was very dignified.

"I thought Miss wanted to say something!"

"So it's this!" Zhou's mother was laughing heartily.

"Which one of us in White City doesn't know about the Wen family? Who doesn't know about it!" Zhou's mother's eyes flashed with excitement.

I couldn't help but smile. It seemed that this hobby of gossiping couldn't be avoided, regardless of whether one was young or old, or had a low status.

The green bandit's face turned red as he berated her mother, "What nonsense are you spouting in front of Miss!?"

"Don't worry, I want to hear it!" I quickly smiled and waved at Green Cock.

Mommy Zhou slightly raised her chin to look at Lu Kui, a joyful smile hung on her face, and a tinge of provocative interest could be seen in her eyes.

He was like a child fighting for a favor.

Lu Kui didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at me.

I looked at Lady Zhou and her daughter, and there was a hint of bitterness in my envious smile.

The heavens were truly fair.

This young miss of mine looks like she's been through a lot, but what did she leave behind after she dug it open and looked inside?

"This Wen family specializes in food, oil, and salt. They are the family that every person in White City has to build a big big brother." People say that 'Caiyue is rare, and Liu Li is easy to break', the Wen family also agrees with this logic, although the Wen family is rich, but the fourth generation are single-handed, and in this generation of Master Wen, it is even more incredible, having only one daughter who is loved as if she is a treasure. " Zhou's mother finished her fight with her daughter and began to reply to me.

"'A descendant without a heir' is an unfilial act. 'Nothing comes out', but there are seven rules. Don't you think Master Wen should take a concubine?"

Although I knew that it wasn't appropriate for a young lady in the inner chamber to ask this question, I still couldn't help but want to see the whole story after hearing Miss Wen's small words.

Mother Zhou didn't seem to notice the impoliteness of my question at all, and her eyes sparkled as she answered me.

"Hey!" "Miss, you've hit the nail on the head with your words!"

"This Master Wen and Madame Wen are legends!"

Lady Wen came from the Bai Family in Lintong, and her ancestors had also been cabinet elders. However, after a few generations, she gradually declined. In Lady Wen's generation, the only direct descendant was Lady Wen. Madam Wen's mother passed away long ago. Madam Wen's father didn't remarry and raised Madam Wen like a boy. As a result, the standard for choosing a husband was very high. They dragged it on until they turned eighteen and still didn't get married.

"Later, when Master Wen went to Lintong, I don't know how the two of them got interested. No matter what, that Madam Wen's family was very scholarly. No matter what, they wouldn't agree to her marrying. Who would have thought that at night, when Lady Wen flipped over the wall, she would follow Master Wen and run away. "

"And then?"

It wasn't me who asked this, but Lan Li, who should have made the bed for me.

He saw her standing on her feet, bent over, holding a bed broom, staring unblinkingly at Mommy Zhou.

Everyone in the room burst out into laughter.

Lan Lingyun turned around to sweep the bed with a blushing face, looking like she was hiding something.

When everyone saw her youngest daughter's demeanor, they couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"In the end, you girls are still unmarried girls!" When Zhou's mother spoke of it, she was excited and somewhat carried away, dancing with joy.

"What else can we do!? The raw rice had already been cooked. Even if Lady Wen's parents didn't want to, what could they do? It was then that Lady Wen began to walk affectionately with her parents again! "

Even with Madam Wen's delicate appearance, she would actually do such a thing!

It was unbelievable!

"But it's not easy for Lady Wen either. People say that 'marry her and become a concubine'. "No matter what, Madam Wen will not acknowledge Madame Wen as her daughter-in-law. She will only say that she is Master Wen's new concubine."
