Spring Peaches and Green Pine followed me into the house. It was the same arrangement as before, everything was neat and tidy, except that on the make-up stand, the Bogu rack was empty, making the entire house seem empty. When I moved to Grandmother's yard, I didn't bring anything big, but I took a lot of things with me.

"Where's Elder Sister Lu Ping?" Spring Peach asked Green Bucket. I turned around and said, "She'll be here as soon as we get the item!" Green Cock and Spring Peaches both laughed.

Just as he spoke of Lu Ping, he heard the courtyard's entrance bustling with activity. Spring Peaches smiled and said, "Big Sister Lu Ping is here!" His face was filled with joy.

"Go!" I waved my hand.

"Yes." Spring Peaches bowed low in salute, then happily ran out while holding her skirt.

I took the books from the chest of the kang, and suddenly remembered that I had just moved into my grandmother's courtyard, where the kang was covered with some display pieces. I thought that if I could get the kang to open up and put the books in, I would not be able to find a place to put them, so I ordered the maids to take them to my grandmother's house. The woman in the kang room thought that I did not like the display pieces, and had the maidservants bring back a batch of display pieces, which I did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Lu Ping directed the old wives to carry their things into the house. They were all very quiet and careful. Lu Ping was very satisfied with the old wives' attitude and instructed them to place the boxes in the house. Not long later, they were set up.

Six mothers stood in a row in front of me, and I nodded.

"Chen Fu, Wang Lu, Meng Dazhang, Tao An, Wang Cheng, and Han Gui." I called the mothers names in order.

Apparently they weren't expecting me to know their names, and they were a little taken aback. They seemed at a loss when I mentioned their names. These mothers were all living in the outer court. Although it wasn't very convenient, they could go in and out of the inner house and outer house. While I was in the inner house, I couldn't hear any activity outside.

"After Mommy Chen left, there was a missing piece in my house." I twirled the bracelet in my hand, clear as water on my wrist.

A few mothers were standing below. Their faces looked ready to move, but no one came out to recommend themselves. They just looked at each other and looked at each other.

"Alright." I just happened to think about it. The inner courtyard's work was light, there were few things to do, and there were many rewards close to the master. Usually, if something happened to the mother in the house, the manager grandma would send someone to make up for it. However, the mother was too busy to take care of herself now, so Grandmother took advantage of this opportunity to more or less take over the family's affairs.

He didn't come here for nothing either. From being an errand girl in the outer court to an inner courtyard manager, he naturally had to put in a lot of effort.

After sending the mothers out, Lu Ping started to pack up the stuff with the maidservants. Those gold crowns and gold pearls were then taken out for inspection before being sealed in boxes and put back into the cabinets. The young maidservants were talking happily with bright smiles on their faces. This kind of scene continued all the way until the sun was setting. Only then did they pack up everything in the room. I couldn't help but click my tongue. These items had only taken me an hour to be packed, but it took me four hours to take them out.

After Lu Ping dismissed the maidservants, she obtained a few copper coins. The maidservants happily gathered together and left the room.

I couldn't help but sigh. Initially, I was prepared to set up a new rule after I had cleaned up all the people in my courtyard at Green Pingping. However, from the looks of it, there wasn't much time left.

"Let's go!" I stood up and tidied up my skirt before lying down in front of the young maidservants. I could only sit there, as I didn't feel anything just a moment ago. Now, my waist is aching and my back is hurting.

"Miss," Green Pingping bent down and helped me put on my shoes. She examined my expression and asked, "Did I do something wrong?"

I smiled wryly. "No."

He brought Lu Ping out of the courtyard. It was only on the way did he remember that he was no longer staying in his grandmother's courtyard. He should have left earlier to eat dinner. I walked quickly along the way, with Lina trotting in front, holding the light, hurrying, and finally arriving at Grandmother's yard before the light was lit.

After entering the house, Hong Yu stood in the hall to feed the fishes. When she saw me, she put down the fish food in her hands and welcomed me.

"Miss." Hong Yu slightly bent her knees, "The old lady has already rested." Hong Yu's face was calm without a single trace of anxiety. If grandmother was ill, red jade should be served at close range, shouldn't it?

"Then I'll go and see Grandmother." I turned around and was about to enter the inner room when Hong Yu stopped me.

"The old lady ordered." Red Jade paused for a moment before she continued, "If young miss is here, you just say that you're sleeping." I stopped, the meaning clear. Grandmother didn't want to see me.

"I know." I did not think that my grandmother would be so annoyed with me, so I stood in front of the hall in silence for a while, then took Lu Ping back.

He brought Lu Ping back to his grandmother's room, where a woman was carrying a box of food. When Lu Ping saw this, she could not help but feel curious, "Didn't the Old Ancestor stop to rest?"

"Grandmother just doesn't want to see me."

"Miss didn't do anything wrong?" Lu Ping was very puzzled.

I was unable to explain the reason for this matter to her, so I could only stammer out an answer. Although I do not know why my grandmother is angry with me, but I know I am in a bad mood and no longer ask.

I suddenly changed my mind and turned around to the courtyard where I used to live. As expected, the courtyard was brightly lit, and my wife was busy sweeping the area.

I had lived in this room before, and I would never have brought my aunt into it, and there was a side yard to the right of my grandmother's yard, but it was colder than this one. I had lived in this yard before, and it was clean, but even the furnishings were very beautiful, but my grandmother still spent a lot of time redecorating it, which showed how much importance she attached to the child in Aunt Chen's womb.

The ladies were busy and did not see me standing in the dark. After looking through it and confirming the doubts in my heart, I brought Lu Ping back to the courtyard. The wives on the stove had already returned to the outer court rooms, but the maids and I had not eaten yet. I usually ate at my grandmother's place, and the people who went there ate with the red jade. The rest of the maidservants would also eat in my grandmother's kitchen.

Lu Ping cooked the noodles for me. Unexpectedly, the thin white noodles, green spinach, and pink prawns were very bright when paired together. The steaming hot air was accompanied by streams of fresh fragrance, but I didn't expect that Lu Ping would have such a good craftsmanship.

Lu Ping carried the noodles over. After a while, the entire room was filled with fragrance. Lu Ping, Lu Kou and Chun Tao were all staring at me as they ate.

"How much more is there on this side?" I looked up at Lu Ping.

"There's still a big pot left," replied Lu Ping with a smile. Miss, please eat as much as you want. "

"Then you go get three bowls. You three can eat with me." I sucked a mouthful of noodles into my mouth. The noodles were thin and sinewy, but they were so hot that I couldn't speak clearly.

"Yes sir!" This time, Lu Ping did not evade him and happily agreed.

"Wait, did you eat those maidservants?" It occurred to me that the other girls in the yard might not have eaten yet.

"I begged the gatekeeper's aunts, they've already eaten." It turned out that the maidservants serving by my side had not eaten. The maidservants sounded dignified, but it was not a simple task.

"I want to tell Miss!" Suddenly, the sound of a maidservant crying and clamoring came from outside. Lu Ping's expression changed and she hurriedly left.
