My grandmother's front room was still lit, and it seemed I hadn't slept yet. I quickened my pace.

I ran into the old woman who was on patrol. She was surprised to see me. "Miss hasn't returned yet?"

"I have something I want to tell Grandmother." I smiled at her.

"Then young miss, please go quickly. The old lady just passed out hot water." The woman bowed to me.

"Thanks, Mom." I smiled in agreement. Lu Kou grabbed a handful of money from his purse and stuffed it into the old woman's hands. The old woman refused to accept the money.

The little girl on the door was already gone. The red cotton curtain of the picture of the baby on the grandmother's door was hanging low.

"Grandmother, I want to talk to you." Without a maid, he had to spread the news himself. He couldn't rashly rush in.

"Come in." Grandmother answered with a grunt. Just as she was about to step inside, she lifted the curtain and peeked out. Her eyes were bright and her cheeks were red.

"Miss." She let me in, poured us each a cup of tea, and backed out.

Her grandmother had changed her clothes and was sitting on the bed in her moon-white satin nightgown. She was holding a list in her hand, and there was a look of relief on her face. I glanced at it and saw that it was densely packed with things to live on. It was obviously a dowry prepared for Red Jade.

"What's wrong?" Grandmother took a sip of tea, and the expression on her face eased a little.

"Did Grandmother want me to visit Aunt Chen to tell me something?" I always thought I was smart, but today, I really didn't see anything. My face was a little hot.

Grandmother seemed to have heard something funny and laughed. After a while, she recovered and said, "You child! Really! I told you to take a look at her for me, what's the point? "

"Huh?" I looked up in surprise at my grandmother, whose expression was serene and leisurely.

"I know why you're sad today." Grandmother reached out her hand to pat my head. "Good child, even though you were sad, you were able to come back and deal with me and your mother. You've really grown up."

Grandmother straightened up and patted the seat beside her. I got up from the stool and sat on the edge of Grandmother's bed.

Grandma put her arm around me, and a warm breath continuously flowed out from her arm, "I have seen that little girl from the Gong family. Her lively and cute personality is indeed lovable, but even if she died, it isn't something a human can go against. Even though it was a bit disappointing for her when she was alive, but her parents loved her, and she was free and at ease. Compared to us, who were born in riches, she's much stronger. "

It was the first time I had heard my grandmother sigh like this. Grandmother has always been a smart and capable person, never thought Grandmother will also sigh about the rough times of life. Thinking in this way, it was not necessarily a bad thing for a girl to die when she was young. When she grew up, she would only be able to enter the mansion to be a servant girl.

When a person was alive, they would have their own difficulties and worries, but the girl was still so young, and before she had tasted the bitterness of the human world, she had already given up. I thought of Niu'er laughing in my arms with her big eyes as clear as dew. I couldn't help but cry. Her soft voice still seemed to echo in my ears.

Grandmother used the handkerchief to wipe my tears. After crying for a while, she softly said, "No wonder you're sad. At my age, I can't even cry after seeing those life and death situations." My heart stirred. I had always doted on girls and it was more or less because of that child who died before I was even born.

"Alright, you can go back now. I'm sure you have something waiting for you in your courtyard." Grandmother wiped the tears off my face with a handkerchief and patted my shoulder.

"Hongyu, use my sedan chair to send the young lady back." his grandmother called out.

"Grandmother, there's no need!" I tugged at my grandmother's sleeve.

"Yes, don't worry." Red Jade answered in a clear voice from outside.

"Listen to me." My grandmother patted the back of my hand. I leaned on my grandmother's shoulder.

"Miss, the sedan is ready." Hong Yu came in and replied.

"You should follow the young miss back." His grandmother smiled as she instructed Red Jade.

"Yes." Red Jade came up and tied the straps on my cloak, tied the curtain, and followed me out the door.

At the entrance of the courtyard, the sedan chair that Grandmother usually used was already waiting there. Under the light of the servants' lamps, the royal blue cloth flickered with a strange light.

Red Jade helped me onto the palanquin, while Green Cock and Lan Li followed Red Jade outside. Four robust mother to carry the palanquin, again in the home, exceptionally stable, slow rocking back and forth, let me have sleep.

"Miss, we're here." The palanquin suddenly fell, and I was jolted from my dazed state of mind.

"Okay." Lan Li and the green bandit came up to help me. Hong Yu stepped forward and said, "Miss, you should rest early. I'm going back to report to the old lady."

I nodded. "Sorry for troubling you, sister." Hong Yu responded with a smile and a respectful attitude.

Lan Ling helped me back to the house, and the Green Buccaneer left behind the ladies who were tasting the palanquin.

I went into the house, where there was only the light on, but no one was there, and Lan Li helped me to the bed and poured me a cup of tea. I touched it, it was hot.

"Where's Lu Ping?" I took a sip of my tea. It seemed that everything was in order, but there was no one to take care of it. Lan Li and the Roc both followed me to my grandmother's place. Who else could it be other than Lu Ping?

Big Sister Lu Ping said, 'I've seen the dead today, so it's not good for me to return to Miss's room after the bad luck has passed. After the bad luck has passed, I'll dispel it and come back at that time. Lan Li looked embarrassed.

When I heard this, my eyelids jumped. [This girl, why is she so stupid?] She is the little girl that I sent to visit, so she naturally represents me. Not only is she unable to help by rashly staying there, she is actually causing trouble for others. Besides, what about his own work when he decided to stay in someone else's house on the spur of the moment? Where would he put his master?

When Lan Lingyun saw that I was angered, she pondered for a while and opened her mouth to say a few words to excuse Lu Ping.

"Don't say anymore, this isn't the first or second time she's done this." I waved her off.

"Lan Lingyun closed her mouth, and no longer brought up this matter." Young Miss, it's getting late. Why don't you take a shower and rest? " Lan Ling rarely spoke in such a cheerful tone.

The Green Bandits entered the room, and when they heard this, they hurried over.

"Serve me well!" I originally wanted to ask Miss Lu Ping about what happened at that time, but now that she's gone, I have no way of knowing.

"Tomorrow, I'll find someone to go to Mother Gong's place and give them twenty taels of silver. Then, I'll call Lu Ping back." Lan Lingyun agreed with worry on her face.

Lu Ping's dull temper was beyond redemption! There is no need for Lan Li to be so intelligent, only average, and also know that she is not right to act on her own initiative today, I think it would be better to marry her earlier.

When Lan Ling and the green bandit saw that I was angered, they served me even more carefully, going in and out soundlessly.

The next morning, just as I was combing my hair, Lu Ping came back obediently.

"How was the funeral?" I fingered the hairpin in the box.

"The little miss gave you forty taels, the old lady gave you fifty, and the funeral was arranged." Lu Ping replied with her head raised. Her eyes were bright.

"What did you help?" I asked casually.

"This servant will help manage the money coming in and out." There was a trace of pride on Lu Ping's face.

When these words were spoken, not only did Lan Li's expression change, but she was flustered and wanted to go up and pull Lu Qingping. Even Lu Kui, who was standing behind Wen Dao, shook his hands as well.

Really. He was so stupid! Although that mother of Gong's wasn't a capable mother in her grandmother's house, she had also been working for her grandmother for many years. Even if it was her second wife who was good at governing the family, it was still her turn as a young maid to manage the money.

"Good!" Good! Go back to your room and reflect! "Think about what you've done!" I grabbed the comb from the table and threw it at her feet.

The surprised and aggrieved expression on Lu Ping's face intertwined as she opened her mouth to say, "What did I do wrong?"

What did he do wrong? It seems that I have spoiled her too much and made her unable to differentiate good from bad!

"What did you do wrong?" My shrill voice also scared me. I stood up abruptly, but the green bandit didn't expect me to do this. In my panic, he messed up the bun that I had just put on.

When Lan Lingyun saw my situation, she also panicked a bit. But I am the master, there is absolutely no reason to pull me up, even pull Green Pingping out.

"Humph!" If that lass, Lu Ping, continues like this, it will only ruin my business! Or ask her grandmother to find her a suitable home.

The green bandit's hands were trembling. It took a long time for him to comb my hair. In the mirror, I saw the look on her face as she tried to speak.

"If you have something to say, just say it!" My anger was still there, in my voice.

"Miss!" When the green bandit heard this, he kneeled down and begged, "Miss, please don't argue with me!" Lu Kui could only say this, but couldn't say anything else. He could only roll back the tears on his face.

Lan Lingyun sent Lu Ping back to her room. When she saw this scene as soon as she entered the door, she quickly walked over and knelt beside Lu Que: "Miss, elder sister was indeed wrong, but this is not elder sister's heart! Miss, please forgive me this time on account of how hard I've served you in the past. " Lan Ling kept kowtowing, and not long after, her white forehead started to turn red.

"Get up." I helped the two little girls up. "It's not that I don't want to forgive her, but she's so muddleheaded. I don't know what kind of trouble she'll cause in the future."

The two of them lowered their eyes and did not say a word. Clearly, they were thinking the same thing.

"Why don't we marry Elder Sister Lu Ping to my brother!" The green bandit whispered.
