Grandma opened her mouth, but in the end, she did not say anything.

Although I wanted to ask Grandmother what she had not said, seeing Grandmother's listless expression, I swallowed my words back into my stomach.

"Go back and pack up. Help me guard the courtyard for a few days!" My grandmother leaned against the cushion behind her and spoke lazily.

"Yes sir!" It just so happened that I had a few words to say to the people around me. I quickly stood up and bowed to Grandmother before leaving the room.

Outside the inner room, Lan Lingyun and Hong Chang were standing behind a fish tank in the hall and chatting. When they saw me come out, the two of them went up to greet me.

"Go in and remove the table!" I smiled and instructed Hong Chang: Be careful when you speak! Hong Chang understood the meaning behind my words, and laughed while picking up the curtains and entering the room.

"Lukas went back to pack her things, leaving me here to wait for Miss!" Lan Li walked with me all the way to the courtyard, talking about the things we had brought over, and when we were deep in the flower garden, I pressed her down. I whispered to her, "I have an urgent matter for you to take care of, so no matter what, don't disturb my mother. Go and find out what has happened in my mother's yard recently!"

"Could it really be Madam?" Lan Li asked with a serious expression.

I shook my head. "This matter is extremely strange. Even though it seems like a detailed investigation, it doesn't seem like it."

Lan Ling nodded her head and continued to follow behind me as if nothing had happened, talking about the matters within the house. She waited until she followed me back to the courtyard before she turned around and disappeared.

"Why didn't Lan Li follow you back?" The green bandits had already prepared my usual items and were currently bringing the young maidservants to complete the registration. When they saw me enter the courtyard by myself, they couldn't help but ask.

"I'll send her to deliver a message!"

Hearing this, Green Buccaneer did not hesitate, showing me the booklet in his hand, asking me what was still missing.

I turned it a little, and there it was, from the guy who combed his hair to the needle and thread. It wasn't like I was going to my grandmother's yard to help her for a few days, but like I was going to move there from then on. When I saw that the last thing I saw was the meticulously compiled books and prepared to bring them to my grandmother's room, I knew that it was because of the old habit of the cautious Lu Kui. I could only sigh helplessly and close the book as I said, "I'll do as you say!"

"Then should we move in now?" The green bandit looked again at the numbered boxes on the floor, and prepared to direct them to the other side of the yard.

Lan Li hadn't come back yet, so it wouldn't be so easy to talk to her in her grandmother's courtyard!

"Let me rest." I started back into the house. "I want to ask you how you arranged it!"

It wasn't until I asked around who was guarding the yard, who was watering the flowers, who was in charge of the jewelry, who was in charge of the kitchen, who was sweeping the floor, and who was in charge of sprinkling water that Lan Lingyun finally came back late. Originally, the green bandit was wondering when I would be so long-winded. However, upon seeing Lan Yi come back in a hurry with a face covered in sweat, he understood the reason behind my actions.

"How is it?" I dispersed the rest of the people in the room, leaving only Green Bull to listen to the news that Lan Lingyun brought back with me.

"I went to ask Madam about the chrysanthemum in her room, and said that Madam was fine. It's just that in the past few days, Madame has stopped sending the large and small clothes to the grinder's room." Afterwards, I asked the maid who was serving in the Madam's kitchen, Dou Hua, about how the Madam's rules were so big in the recent days. Before the dishes were served, Mother Xu had to check them herself. "

"Who is mother Xu? I remember that there was no mother named Xu in my mother's room? " As soon as Lan Lan finished her sentence, I raised my question.

"Mrs Xu was the one who followed Madam into the old lady's house today. She said that she was invited back recently and was specifically responsible for Madam's food." Lan Li seemed to have expected that I would ask this question and explained it in detail.

No longer using outsiders to wash clothes? Even food and clothing matters? Perhaps it was because her mother was born into a family of poems and books, and had had her eyes and ears infected with the filial piety of these inner chamber women since she was young that she was usually especially attentive in these areas. At the moment when Aunt Chen had been poisoned, her mother had suddenly become exceptionally cautious and on high alert. Could it be that after harming others, she had also increased her own defenses?

However, when he thought back to how his mother had argued in front of his grandmother with a flushed face, it didn't seem like there was anything fake about her. If this was done by his mother, then it could be said that her design was exquisite and she had put a lot of thought into it!

After listening to Lan Li's words, I didn't have any ideas for the time being, so I had to put this matter aside first and look after my grandmother and Aunt Chen's bodies first. When I arrived at my grandmother's place, as if my courtyard had been opened wide and my chest had been rummaged through, my grandmother had packed four large suitcases to move into the warm house behind Aunt Chen, saying only that she would accompany her and wait for her condition to stabilize before coming back. I knew in my heart that my grandmother's company was small, and I was even more afraid that when I couldn't see it, my aunt's baby would be plotted against me. Although this would hurt my grandmother's mental and physical strength, when I thought about my little grandson, I didn't have any good excuse to stop him, so I let my grandmother do what she wanted.

After my things had been properly arranged and my grandmother's things moved to that courtyard, I brought two maids over to take a look. Even though Grandmother decided on the spur of the moment to move here, there was a large, spacious, and open pavilion with a bed for everything. There was a white lily curtain embroidered with a yellow muslin, which could be considered quiet and elegant, clean and tidy. Grandmother usually used to bottles, jars, tea bowls, and saucers.

In the evening, after dinner at my grandmother's house, I went back to my grandmother's yard and had Greenwood call the whole lot to wait in the hall, saying only that I had something important to ask them.

People rely on clothes, horses, and saddles. Most of these servants in my grandmother's courtyard were chosen from the servants of the world, and they all had some dignity in front of a young master like us. There were also a few young maidservants who had been Grandmother's servants before. Usually, even if my mother saw them, she would call out for my mother to give her some face. If I were to wear such clean and clean clothes, it would be difficult to suppress them.

"Go and get me that goldfish and water grasses' red top!" I thought about the list I just read and picked out one of the most colorful and complicated ones.

"Those clothes are very deep. It's probably a little hot to wear them on a day like this. Young Miss, why don't you wear that pink gauze gown? It should be cooler in the end!" Lan Li, who was fanning me, couldn't help but give me some advice.

Even though the pink colour is abnormally bright, but the inner layer of the clothes can be seen from the middle half of the room. It was originally meant to make a young girl look tender and delicate, so if I wore that kind of clothes to meet guests, it would be even worse!

I shook my head. "Just go and find that item!" He then added, "Bring me another set of gems!"

Apparently, Green Cove understood my intentions better than Lan Lan. Above me was a red top, below it was a navy gold riding skirt, with a pure gold East Pearl hairline, and a pair of jade pendant earrings in my ears. I applied some rouge to the mirror on the ground, and under the brilliant light, the gold lines at the feet of the beads reflected the light.

"Miss, all the mothers are here."

After listening to the news, I nodded and sat on the brick bed. After drinking a cup of tea, I stood up and said, "Let's go!"

The two maids followed behind me respectfully.

As soon as I entered the hall, I was greeted by a wave of hot air, and the room was filled with people. The mothers standing in the front row were all dressed in gold and silver, and all of them had smiles on their faces.

If it was the past, I would definitely smile and nod at my mother to say hello. But now that I have changed my identity, I sat down on an armchair with a cold expression on my face. After sweeping a glance at everyone in the room, I lightly said, "Stand up!"

The mothers in front of me were more or less unhappy, and their gazes towards me weren't as kind as before. They either whispered in each other's ears or held the handkerchief in their hands while their heads were lowered.

"I'm sure all the mothers already know that I have to temporarily take charge of the house for a while on behalf of my grandmother." A figure flashed outside the house. It was Hong Chang, I nodded at her, then she quickly came to my side and greeted me.

"The old lady said that Aunt's health isn't very good these days, and that the courtyard is rather noisy as well. Although Miss is young, she should at least come up with some methods to help the old lady deal with this situation." During this period, everyone had to listen to the Miss's orders. If they didn't listen to her, regardless of whether she was a servant or a loyal servant, they would either take off their pants according to family rules, sell their teeth to others, or go out the door. "If you support Miss properly and manage the house, when the old lady comes back to her senses, naturally, there will be lots of rewards!"

When the mothers in the room heard this, they couldn't help but be shocked. After a few rustling sounds, they calmed down and knelt down, "Yes!"

"Which ones are in charge of the night?"

The most important thing for a door to be safe is to guard it. Although Aunt Chen was poisoned by the pill, Dr. Huang's words told her that as long as she recuperated, she would not be able to recover her spirit, but it would not be difficult for her to give birth. Since leaving his mother and son behind wasn't enough, it was hard to guarantee that his mother wouldn't throw a life and death net and feed a bowl of poison directly to Aunt Chen, sending the two of them to the underworld together.

"It's a servant."

A strong mother with a thick waist stepped forward. If I were to look more carefully, I would see that there were 12 of them. All of them were strong men.

"Are you two going up together, or are you going to work separately?"

"We're going to sleep together." The leader of the group, a black-faced mother with thick eyebrows answered in a low voice.

No wonder the grandma's yard seemed so heavily guarded, but it was full of holes. There were already quite a few mothers in the Twelve Divisions last night. Although there were too few people, each person had too many things to do and too few people, it was inevitable that there would be problems that would not lead to inequality. You don't do it, I don't care.

"What's your name?"

"The servant is called Li Changsheng."

"Li Changsheng's family. Since you are in charge of the matter of last night, if something goes wrong, I can only ask you." Now I will divide these twelve people into two groups, six people in each group, and two groups will take turns at night. From the time of five o'clock onwards, four people will be on guard and two people will be searching at night.

Mama Li slightly frowned and asked, "Miss, which group should we split into?"

If I knew what your relationship was, why would I need you to divide it up? The reason why she dared to ask me this was because she wanted to bully me because I was young and had never been in the family before.

"How ridiculous!" I gave her a cold snort. "Don't you think Mama Li is an old man? How dare you ask me that! Why don't you try the smell of the two-foot-wide bamboo board in my grandmother's storehouse, and I'll tell you what to do? "

The surrounding moms looked at me who was sitting on the seat quietly. Looking at how I reprimanded Mommy Li mercilessly, some of them were gloating, some of them had sympathy in their eyes, while others were grieving for her …

"Does Mommy know how to do it?" I silently rubbed the patterns on the lid of the cup, secretly wondering how I would deal with this Mama Li if she was tough.

It was a good thing that this was an observant mother. Seeing that I was infuriated, she hurriedly lowered her head and said a few words of subservience, "Because there has never been such a precedent before, I was afraid that we would be unscrupulous and dissatisfied with young miss. Thus, I unknowingly asked," It's because they are ignorant … " Initially, I didn't want to make things difficult for them, so naturally, I decided to just leave it at that.

"I don't care about what mothers do today, but if I find out about the bet after drinking wine and money tonight, then I don't need to care about my three to four lifetimes worth of face anymore. Even if I have to embarrass myself, I still want to purge this atmosphere!" I looked pointedly at the few wealthy mothers in the room, implying that I had already noticed them.

Those who did not enter the house, those who did, get forty out, eat and gamble at night, but have their pants ripped off and have their staff punished by 40, be chased out of the house. Those who have daughters, nieces, and daughters who are waiting to work at home, all have their teeth sold! If you have any special matters, you can come and find me early to ask for leave. I will tell them to leave the door open for you, so if you delay my time without any reason, there's no need to ask for forgiveness. You can just go and ask for a plank or big mouth! " I faintly smiled at the mothers, but none of them raised their heads to look at me.

In my heart, I secretly regret. I'm afraid that before long, my notoriety will spread far and wide!

"As for the rest, just follow the old rules. If I make a mistake and make a mistake, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
