"This servant came out at the beginning of the night, and rode in your carriage, my lady, fast as a horse and whip. When I arrived at the Xue family, it was about a quarter of an hour, just in time for Master Xue to drink and enjoy the snow in the outer court with the officials. "According to Lady Lu Kui's instructions, I only said that it was because there was an emergency at home and I came looking for you to make a decision. The servants outside did not delay much, and soon, I found a mother to bring me into the inner courtyard …"

The most difficult thing to enter from an official's house was the door.

Since the Mu Family had smoothly passed through the front yard, it could only be …

I sighed lightly and pushed the teacup into her hands. "But after entering the inner courtyard, there were people who pushed it away layer by layer. Are they not willing to be in charge of it?"

The Hundred Wood Family's faces darkened as they nodded. "This servant heard that Old Master Xue sent a letter from the outer court, that's why Lady Xue …"

Who was Little Lu?

He was someone who listened to everything around him and would not let go even the slightest of movements!

From the outer courtyard to the inner courtyard, there was no way that Little Lu didn't know about the layers of people entering.

But she made no move to look after him.

He didn't even have the intention of sending a maid to show his face.

I shook my head.

Little Lu's meaning was extremely obvious.

She was hinting to me that losing this opportunity to enter the Xue Clan and get close to Young Master Xue would be even more difficult.

I have to seize this opportunity.

As long as she doesn't show up, I can't go out of the Xue Clan.

No matter what difficulties the family faced, they couldn't just leave without saying goodbye.

To her, I had a reason to shirk from her.

A person who has spent her whole life doing this for a little personal gain will not understand what I have been asking for all my life.

As they held high positions, they were rich and honorable. There were many guests and thousands of people chasing them. The things that many people painstakingly pursued their entire lives were just like passing clouds, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

I'm not smart.

Like all women, I have been in my room, kneeling in front of the Buddha day after day, hoping to marry my husband, waiting for him to top the high school list, red flowers and white horses, to welcome me in my phoenix coronet and ceremonial gown, glorious to the world.

But when I drank that bowl of medicine and lay alone on the cold stone floor.

I just understood.

What I want is not to be rich, not to be admired by relatives, not to be envied by sisters, not to be the mistress, not to be the wife.

Instead, they kept each other's company and enjoyed peace and happiness.

What I want is the most ordinary happiness of a woman.

It was a complete home.

Now, all I want is for Aunt Chen and her son to be safe.

I got up from the brick bed, patted the still self-reproaching Bai Mu, and comforted her: "Since it has already happened, don't think so much. "How do we get back so quickly, that's what's important …"

Bai Mu nodded and followed me to stand up. She still had the appearance of a young wife who had been wronged.

Seeing that she had obediently followed behind me, afraid that I would make another mistake, I couldn't help but laugh. I turned around and pointed to the inner room. "You go and help me fill up the box. We'll pack up a bit before going back."

I called Lan Li and Mother Song in to help me change my clothes and clean up the box. Not long later, Jiang Xuanxuan's maidservants were also alerted. The mothers came over to say hello and then left. The maidservants loved to look at those things and to help Lan Li pack her things. They chatted and laughed.

Everything was arranged neatly. The sky was already starting to turn white. Looking at the bell in the reception hall, it was already the third day of the new year. Most of the maidservants were still drowsy, so they saluted and went back to sleep. Only Little Lu's two head maidservants were tying up the box together with Lan Li.

Seeing that I was wearing the Overbearing Bag, the two maids looked panicked.

I thought for a bit. Most likely, they were afraid that if I said goodbye, Little Lu would vent her anger on them. She was afraid that Little Lu would do something tricky.

I waved towards the two maidservants. "I don't know the way to auntie's place. You two lead the way for me!"

The two of them bowed their heads in acknowledgement, but their faces were full of gratitude.

After waiting for half an incense's time in the parlour of Little Lu's main house, a beautiful woman with almond-shaped eyes and a peachy cheeks came out. Her big eyes slanted to the side as she kneeled down towards me and said, "Greetings, Miss Biao!"

I smiled and nodded, quietly pondering.

Judging from her attire, a maidservant wasn't like a maidservant, but an aunt wasn't like an aunt either.

The two maidservants bowed and greeted simultaneously, "Greetings, Miss Zhou!"

So that's how it was.

With such beauty, she was merely a maidservant in a room.

Anger appeared on the beautiful woman's face. She coldly snorted and said, "The Lady asked me to tell the Young Miss to not take the weight of the gold ingots and iron weights lightly. The Lady must not take the same path as the Lady."

There was also a hint of timidity in the tone.

I smiled.

Don't go her way?

Was it because he had calculated everything and still couldn't lock his husband's heart down, that he could only rely on giving people to Third Master Xue one by one in order to preserve his position as a wife?

Or was it the marriage of parents who had ordered the matchmaker? Although she had received the approval of her husband's family, she couldn't really agree with their wishes.

I tidied my clothes and stood up smiling. "Thank you for the reminder, Miss. However, this person has his own fate and can't be forced."

A pair of sparkling apricot eyes glance towards me. The beauty laughed and humphed before giving a sharp and shrill reply. She slightly bent her knees and saluted me before turning around to head towards the inner room.

His attitude was truly arrogant.

Even an aunt has no reason to put on such airs in front of me.

I gently squeezed Lan Li's hand and smiled. "I hope that Miss can tell Aunt to send a few wives here to help with the boxes and put them on the carriage."

As soon as he said that, the curtain in front of him was lifted, revealing a round face of a servant girl. The curtains in front of him was lifted, revealing a round face of a servant girl, looking very cute.

The old woman quickly complied and rushed out to fetch water.

Lady Zhou's body stopped at the front of the room, gritted her teeth, and swallowed her whole body.

A pair of pure white hands fell on the curtain of the golden door. It was not clear whether it had been lifted or not, but it was still not possible. It was so infuriating that people started to shake slightly.

"Miss Zhou …"

The arrogant and despotic person from before slowly turned around.

She had clearly turned ashen, yet she still forced herself to smile, only to see her squatting down and saying, "Miss Biao, please go back. This servant will arrange something for you right now."

"… …"

Little Lu was a smart person after all, and he knew it wouldn't be easy to force others to do the same. She was also afraid that if I didn't go out, it would make a ruckus and embarrass her. In just an hour's time, the four strong and robust moms helped mommy Song to load the car.

She pulled him out of bed early in the morning, of course, and gave him some tips before getting into the car.

Lan Li took out a hand stove from the cabinet at the side, took out a pair of tweezers and put them inside while asking, "Miss, how come that Miss Zhou changed her face so suddenly, as if she was performing a magic trick?"
