"The young miss is here!" Even the maidservants who reported the event were weak, as if they were afraid that if their voices were loud enough, they would wake up the people resting in the room.

"Let her in!" His grandmother's tired voice came from the crowd.

The crowd moved to either side, leaving a narrow path for me.

Grandmother was sitting on a pallet in front of the bed in the Black Cloud Mother's Thousand Sunsets Cave, her slightly tilted face could still see the wounds that Aunt Chen had cut with her nails a few days ago. At this moment, she was frowning as she looked down at the scene on the bed. Aunt Chen stood on the ground behind her grandmother, her face pale and her eyes unsteady. She wore an ethereal coat that made her stomach seem especially big. She leaned on Zhou Baiming's body, so tired that she almost couldn't stand. On the other side, however, there was a young woman dressed in a rattan dress who happened to be the opposite of Lady Chen. Her face was rosy, her eyes were bright as the stars, and she was holding a large tray with an empty blue and white porcelain bowl on it.

It was none other than Aunt Mo.

I took a quick look at the servant woman standing behind me, but there was no sign of Lan Ling or Mother Du. Only Hong Chang, who was slightly terrified, pulled Mother Song, who was following me, and lowered her head to whisper.

I couldn't help but sigh, even though this was also a rare opportunity.

In the past, the red jade in Grandmother's room was much worse.

"How is Mother?" I whispered, and reached for the flap of the tent and peered inside.

His mother's expression was dispirited, her eyes tightly closed. It was unknown if she had fainted or if she had fallen asleep. Under her open collar, there was a deep red mark on her snow-white neck.

He had obviously been saved the moment he hung him up.

"Madam was just a little frightened, so I'm not worried." Seeing that no one answered me, Aunt Mo quickly explained in a soft voice.

Moments later, Mother Du and Lan Li returned together. When they saw me standing in the room, they were stunned for a moment.

It seemed like the two of them had gone to visit a doctor before sending him off.

I couldn't help but smile wryly. Based on Huang Lang's straightforward personality, I didn't know if he would spread the secret that his boss' mother was actually going to hang herself because of her pregnancy. He was also worried that his mother would hide the fact that he was pregnant, as long as he had all the connections. He wondered if Huang Gangzhong had made this known to everyone.

Lan Lingyun, who was standing behind Aunt Chen, standing across from me, blinked at me as if she had something to say.

The Lady Chen in front of her was already on the verge of collapsing, unable to support herself.

"Since mother is fine, let's disperse! The concubines are all pregnant, and one of them still has younger brothers to take care of!" I gave my grandmother an inquiring look, but she was still looking into the tent and nodding slightly.

Aunt Mo seemed like a shrewd person. She saw that I had something to say to Grandmother, so she quickly passed the tray to Mother Song, who was standing behind her, and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you, mother." Then she bowed and left. Aunt Chen was pregnant, and the month was heavy. It was not a good time to stand up, but hearing these words was like being pardoned. She quickly supported the Zhou family and followed Aunt Mo out the door.

"All of you, go out!" I waved to my mothers who were still serving in the outer hall. "I'll call you guys if anything happens!"

Mama Du and Lan Li were still standing behind Grandmother and me.

"Miss, should I remind the two aunts …" When everyone in the room had retreated, Mother Du reminded me with a smile.

Grandmother's eyelids twitched as she glanced in the direction behind her.

Those who were in a position of power abstained from having one servant and two masters, and they had their hearts in the line of duty.

I smiled and thanked Mama Du before shaking my head and saying, "Aunt Mo is a smart person. She knows what to say and what not to say. She's not the only one who won't go out and talk about it. Even the people she has with her won't discuss it." As for Aunt Chen, she was naturally cautious, so she is now living in the same yard as me … "

The meaning behind his words was that if you had the ability, you wouldn't say it. If you wanted to say it, you didn't dare to say it.

Seeing that what I said made sense, Mother Du smiled and nodded, "I overthought it, young lady is actually more considerate!"

For the second time Grandmother looked unhappy.

After roughly explaining the matter of going out to visit today to Grandmother, I instructed Lan Lingyun to find Lu Ke, who was waiting for me outside, and gave him a book to give to Mother Du. I smiled and advised Grandmother, "You're just getting better, aren't you going to get sick from working like this again? Since mother is fine, you should go back! I'll just stay here and watch over my mother. "

Grandma thought for a moment, then carefully tucked the blanket in for her mother and instructed: "Hong Chang, you stay here and help little miss run errands!"

He was looking at me, afraid that I would do something.

I couldn't help but sneer in my heart. This grandmother of mine is really blessed. When my mother bullied me, she supported me. Now that I'm in charge of the family, she wants to protect my mother. No matter how you looked at it, it resembled the methods used by the matriarchs to punish their concubines.

Thinking was one thing, doing was another. Since Grandmother was able to use her filial piety to seize the rights of mother's butler, she could naturally use her filial piety to suppress me.

But why didn't she think that if I really wanted my mother to die, there were many ways to torture her, so why would I keep her in the courtyard?

Before I knew the truth, my mother was an important clue in my hands. How could I bear to see her die?

What's more, there were so many hardships in life. Would they let others struggle within, and would live a life worse than death?

If I don't let my mother have a taste, how can it be compared to my hatred that has already passed away before I even had the chance to see the world?

"If Sister Hong Chang can stay here, I will have a backbone, and a calmer heart." I smiled, not caring.

Seeing that the sun was setting in the west, my grandmother still told me to take good care of my mother, who was still asleep. I glanced at my mother's profile, which was still sleeping, and then I was surrounded by my mother's group in her yard.

I couldn't help but grind my teeth. It's not like Grandmother didn't control the inner chamber. Naturally, she knew that the less people knew about this matter, the better. But not only did Grandmother majestically bring all the mothers in the courtyard to take a look, even Aunt Chen, who was still pregnant, came along as well. How could someone as sharp as Aunt Mo not sell her out? Naturally, they wanted to join in on the fun as well! If this news were to spread out, then my biological mother, who was pregnant while I was running the house, would go and wipe her neck. To put it mildly, I didn't take proper care of her.

Grandmother, with just a single stroke, can ruin my reputation!

"Go and set up my meal. Here, tell the kitchen that I want a fish pot. I want a spicy one, a sweet and sour cucumber!"

"Miss …"

Lu Kui looked troubled.

One of them had a fishy smell and the other had a sour smell. Most people would wrinkle their noses when they smelled it, let alone a mother who was pregnant before the third month.

"You can only do it!"

Seeing that I didn't seem to mind, Green Buccaneer knew that I had made up my mind. He sighed and left the room.

"What happened today? Why did you have to send mother Du and you to a doctor? "

Lan Lingyun looked at the red jade that was still standing at the side, and a blank look flashed across her face. She then returned my words honestly:

"At that time, this servant was in the Flower Hall settling accounts, but Madam Wang's mother suddenly came to tell me that something was wrong." When the servant heard this, she hurriedly rushed over to the madam's side. When she arrived, she saw that the mistress had already been taken down. Seeing that the servants were in a state of confusion and that Huang Gongzhong was an outsider, the servant went to invite Doctor Deng over to let him have a look. Doctor Deng saw the wound and said it was a minor wound, but her throat would be fine after two days. Since Grandma Deng did not come often, this servant returned to the house and found two taels of silver to give to her. "

I couldn't help clapping for Lan Li.

Even if I did deal with it, it wouldn't be more appropriate.

Who knew that Grandma Deng was such a wonderful person!

She lived in a small courtyard at the very end of the street. Usually, she would show the women the symptoms of being irritable and she was quite famous in the inner chamber. It was easy to see a woman with a body and a woman without a body, and it was perhaps for this reason that she only looked at the wound.

These people, who often wandered around the inner chamber, were much more sensitive than the average person towards the overt struggles and covert fights between women. They would not easily be infected by it and would only be able to benefit from it.

I smiled and nodded. "You are becoming more and more experienced in your work. You can now be considered as a wise man." Even though I didn't bring you with me when I went out today, I was told that the two maidservants by my side were even more powerful than I was. If it weren't for my mother, I'm afraid that the threshold would have been broken!

If you don't understand my voice-over now, then it's not her!

"Isn't that all because of xiaojie's guidance!"

Lan Li and I laughed in our hearts, and carefully looked at Hong Chang who was standing at the side.

She didn't see either of us, and she just kept her head down, lost in thought.

Hong Chang was not a match for Lan Li, she was already sixteen this year, and only needed two years to release the age of marriage. Her mother and father were from Grandmother's manor, so she didn't normally meet many people, let alone tell her about her in-laws. Although the few maidservants who served Grandmother in the past had all been betrothed by Grandmother, that was only with the exception of the housekeeper. Now that Grandmother's health was failing, every single matter of the family business was in my hands. Although Grandmother could withdraw this right at any time, who could say for sure? Under such a situation, without thinking about her future, it was impossible for her!

Seeing Hong Chang lower her head in deep thought, I knew that she took my words seriously, and did not disturb her, and only instructed Lan Lingyun: "Quickly go and rush her! "They ate early in the morning and didn't catch anything at noon, so their stomachs were already in the air!"

Lan Lin covered her mouth with a smile, turned around, and went out to give me a bowl of rice.

"Sit down!" I pointed to a small Wugong on the side with a gentle voice.

After setting the rice on the kang under the window opposite my mother's bed, I invited two maids to eat with me. The two maidservants had previously eaten at the same table as me, and knowing that I did not mind, coupled with the fact that Lan Li knew that I was purposely putting on an act for Hong Chang to see, she did not hold back and directly sat on the brick bed. At first, when Mother Song saw the two maidservants' frivolous actions, she frowned, but in the end, she couldn't stop them from persuading us repeatedly. She also apologized and half-kneeled, then sat down on the bottom of the brick bed with a bowl of rice on her rosewood carved foot and ate fish with us from the pot.

The bottom of the pot had been added with charcoal, but it was still boiling. A fishy smell unique to fish meat and hot, spicy heat emitted. It filled the entire room and soon even the window sash had turned translucent because of the heat.

I was used to discussing matters with two maids while eating. Naturally, I didn't hold myself back. While eating, Lu Ke talked about the arrangements for the dishes and festivals at the Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow. Lan Lingyun smiled and talked about the amount of money she would give to the servants tomorrow and the number of people from each academy during the night. Mother Song was listening by the side with a surprised expression on her face.

Even though she had been in my room for quite a while, she had never actually seen two maidservants helping my housekeeper.

"The women who went last night must definitely be arranged. There are no men in our courtyard, and everyone is thinking that this is the Mid-Autumn Festival. It's hard to say if no one will think of breaking in during the family reunion. "Don't cherish the incense, light them up in all the rooms. Be bright. The maidservants let them play outside the masters' rooms in the reception hall. If anything happens, the mothers outside will definitely be able to hear them."

Lan Lingyun hurriedly smiled in response, and went to get herself a bowl of rice.

The envy on Hong Chang's face could not be hidden.

Although she was Grandmother's maid and was the most respectable person in the entire family, how could she compare to the two who held power in their hands and could change their fates through their own hard work, Lan Lingyun and Green Bandits, who were free and happy.

Seeing that all the hints were already in place, I put the bowl down while smiling. The other three people also put down their rice bowls when they saw this. After serving three cups of tea each, I looked at the shadow in the tent and said with a smile, "Go, bring me the account book and the abacus. We can't delay our family matters."

When we were eating, I clearly saw the person in the tent move his body a couple of times, but he still kept his eyes tightly shut, refusing to wake up.

I laughed in my heart, I didn't expect my mother to be so patient!

It's not like I've never experienced that, so I know what it's like.

I don't believe that she can still patiently lie on the bed and wait for me even if I have to come up with some calculations and it's the biggest taboo in her heart!

"Yes sir!" Lan Lingyun quickly saluted and with a smile on her face, she gracefully left the room to get my abacus.

Hong Chang who was seated at the side lowered her head as if she did not see anything wrong with my calculations in the patient's room, as she focused on the handkerchief in her hand that was not embroidered at all.

He wasn't afraid of what she wanted, he was only afraid that she wouldn't have any hope.

I couldn't help but smile, secretly stroking my sleeves, thinking that this matter would be a lot easier to handle.
