When we came out of the inner courtyard of Qinglan Court, the night sky was already filled with stars.
Everyone thought that they still had endless work to do tomorrow, so naturally after Jiang Nianjiao announced that they were disbanded, they turned into birds and animals and dispersed.
However, when they saw Chunhua walking sullenly and Late Winter eager to catch up with Chunhua's pace, they couldn't help but point at these two people.
"Look at these two people. They usually only show off their power in front of us, but now without their master to protect them, they are no different from dead dogs."
"What can they do if they don't be honest? After all, their era has passed. The four new ones are from the palace, or people directly given by the Concubine Xian. They have great backgrounds. They have no discernment. He is so energetic that he still wants to take care of the people in the palace, which is really hilarious."
"Please be quiet. After all, they were once in the lady's house. If they go to the lady's house to complain, we will suffer."
"Don't worry. If the eldest lady drove them to the outer courtyard, it would be impossible for them to go back. After all, you didn't see what happened to Luo Ruo, and wasn't Zhi Qiao just driven away? Let me see. , the lady seems to be ready to take care of them."
...
Listening to these people's pointing, Wan Dong was restless, but just when she was about to break up with these people, Chunhua just held her hand, and then the two of them quickly walked into the house. .
She was so angry in late winter that she naturally didn't feel good when she returned to the house. She just drank a big mouthful of cold water for herself first, and then said angrily, "Why are you stopping me? Listen to what those people said. They kick their noses and faces one after another! Can you tolerate this?"
"If I had known this, we might as well have invited Madam to stay with her! We are Madam's people, and Madam has always been kind. It would be better for us to go to Si Xin Garden than to stay in this wretched place and suffer her anger!"
Chunhua calmly used a stick to pull out the candles of the oil lamps, and had no intention of paying attention to late winter. However, when she heard late winter talking so openly, she immediately nervously opened the window and looked around to make sure no one was walking outside the house.
She just turned around and glared at Wan Dong, and said with a stern tone, "What are you talking about? Are you so open-minded? If someone hears it, you and I will suffer a lot!"
Perhaps Chunhua's momentum was too strong. Even after being reprimanded in late winter, she didn't get angry. She only said, "Am I too angry? What's more, our residence is far away from those Datong shops. They dare to do so if they are blind." Come this way."
When Chunhua heard this, he only said, "Be careful when sailing the ship of ten thousand years."
"Chunhua, what should we do now? Do we really want to stay in this outer courtyard forever? If we stay in the outer courtyard, we will not know as clearly about the eldest lady as before, and if those four people took over before us It's our business to take care of it. If we don't have anything to gain from it in the future, I'm afraid they will find out something in the future." Late Winter said with a heavy heart.
However, Chunhua who was asked just said indifferently, "What is there to be afraid of? We have served the young lady in this courtyard for more than ten years. Are these ten years of service in vain? What's more, the young lady didn't say anything directly. Do we have to hand over our power if they ask us to do so?”
Seeing Chunhua's confident look, Late Dong felt that the other party must have already made up his mind. She quickly approached Chunhua and said, "Chunhua, do you have any plans? Why don't you tell me about it? Come, I can cooperate with you."
Chunhua didn't intend to hide it from her. She only signaled Wan Dong to come closer to her, and then she whispered in Wan Dong's ear.
The night was dark at this time, and only one candle in the room was blown swaying by the night wind, leaving only a dark shadow on the wall.
No one knew what the two people in the house were planning.
...
The next day, dawn broke.
I spent the whole day yesterday, and spent the evening arranging personnel changes in Qinglan Courtyard.
When Jiang Nianjiao was picked up from the bed by the new maid, she was still very sleepy. Her head could only move a little bit, and she couldn't even lift her arms.
She just subconsciously said coquettishly, "How about we take a day off today? You and I and Grandma Li can take a day off."
"Girl, please bear with me a little longer. Everything is difficult at the beginning. It will be fine once the girl gets used to it." The maid obviously didn't like Jiang Nianjiao's behavior.
Yes, although her words were gentle, there was no room for negotiation at all.
Jiang Nianjiao said unwillingly, "Then please let me sleep for a while."
"Miss, I'm afraid Mommy got up early. We don't want to keep Mommy waiting."
Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but wrinkle her face when she saw that she couldn't talk to the other party at all, with displeasure written all over her face.
However, she was not happy because she was still rational, so she just remained silent and allowed the other party to manipulate her.
Just as she was about to fall asleep again, she heard a commotion outside the door.
"If you don't go to the outer courtyard, what are you doing in the inner courtyard? Wasn't the lady's order yesterday clear enough?" The person who reprimanded was obviously the new maid who arrived yesterday.
"Good sister, I don't mean anything else. It's just that the lady is particular about water and the temperature of the water. I was afraid that the lady would not be used to it, so I thought of preparing the toiletries for the lady myself. I brought the things into the house and left immediately. "The person who replied only lowered her already clear voice, which was a rare humility. It sounded like late winter.
Seeing her sincerity, the maid who originally blocked her from coming in softened her tone and said, "I'll send the things in."
After saying this, the maid planned to take the toiletries from Wan Dong's hand, but Wan Dong didn't let go at this time.
"What? Are you still busy?" The maid was obviously on guard.
Wan Dong saw that the other party was not easy to fool, so he immediately smiled and said, "It's okay."
After saying that, she took the initiative to put the basin into the other person's hand. But after the other person turned around, she immediately said loudly, "Miss, I have something to say to the lady in late winter. Please let me in."
After hearing Wan Dong's words, the maid tried to silence her but it was too late.
In the room, Jiang Nianjiao naturally heard her voice, and she only looked at the maid beside her.
Then Jiang Nianjiao took the initiative and said, "Let her come in."
After receiving Jiang Nianjiao's instructions, others naturally did not dare to stop her. Wan Dong achieved her goal and immediately changed her humble attitude. She proudly took the copper basin filled with warm water from the hand of the maid just now.
Then she stepped into the inner room generously.
Jiang Nianjiao was not surprised to see Wan Dong coming over with toiletries. She just watched Wan Dong running over and showing his hospitality in front of her.
The face wash was lukewarm, and the mouthwash had a cold, sweet scent of osmanthus.
Jiang Nianjiao accepted the other party's service very naturally. It seemed like she was really enjoying it at the moment.
But in fact, the past days of being meticulous in the Lu family have long been gone. She used to wash her face with the coldest and biting snow water in winter, and also chewed branches to wash herself.
She did everything by herself, and even after getting used to that kind of life, what she was even more unaccustomed to was the strictness of the past.
After all, no one knows whether she will make the same mistakes again this time.
Or maybe everything happening now is just a bit of wishful thinking before she died.
Thinking of the past, she subconsciously touched her neck. After making sure that her throat had not been cut open and that there was no pain, she came back to her senses.
At this time, late winter only took out another bottle of medicinal powder. When she saw the medicine bottle that the other party took out, Jiang Nianjiao deliberately yawned and said, "Late winter, didn't you say you have something to do with me? What's the matter?"
Seeing Jiang Nianjiao retract her hand, Late Winter behaved herself. She only held the bottle of wound medicine with both hands, and said with a worried look, "Late Dong wants to beg Miss for forgiveness."
Hearing her words like this without any beginning or end, Jiang Nianjiao asked curiously, "What did you do?"
Late winter just knelt on the ground and said, "My maid saw that the young lady was extremely tired yesterday. So she begged Aunt Li to allow the young lady to rest for a day."
Hearing this, Jiang Nianjiao raised her eyebrows, and then praised her coldly, "You do know how to feel sorry for others. So what did grandma say?"
"Mommy promised to let the young lady rest for a day." Wan Dong only whispered.
"Since you asked for leave for me, why didn't you tell me earlier? I'm so sleepy." After saying this, Jiang Nianjiao seemed ready to fall back to sleep.
"My servant is afraid that the young lady will make me angry and make my own decisions, so I don't dare to tell the young lady." Wan Dong said with a low eyebrow.
Jiang Nianjiao said, "You used to do a lot of things to yourself."
Advocate, why are you afraid now? "
After hearing Jiang Nianjiao's words, Na Wandong looked frightened and said, "I know my mistake."
Jiang Nianjiao saw that she had misunderstood what she meant, so she waved her hand impatiently, "Okay, you did a good job, just go to my jewelry box and pick up any jewelry you like and leave."
After saying this, she only deliberately pretended to leave. Later, Wan Dong immediately said, "I don't want any jewelry. The girl has given enough to the slaves on weekdays. I just ask the girl to let me give jewelry to the four sisters who came from the palace." It's enough to strike."
When Jiang Nianjiao heard this, she continued to say impatiently, "Okay, okay, okay, it all depends on you."
After saying that, Jiang Nianjiao went to the inner room.
But late winter got the result he wanted, and the corners of his lips raised slightly unconsciously.
She got up from the ground and prepared to leave the inner room.
But the maid who had been silent by Jiang Nianjiao's side suddenly said, "Wait a minute, miss, I have something to tell you."
When late winter saw that Jiang Nianjiao had returned to the room, she immediately dropped her low eyebrows and said in a condescending manner, "What's the matter?"
Being able to act in front of Jiang Nianjiao was her limit. In addition, these four people are still airborne troops. It is because of their arrival that her position will be taken away. Naturally, she cannot be polite to these people.
The maid was not surprised by the change in her attitude.
She only made a gesture of invitation, seeming to indicate that Wan Dong went out to talk.
In late winter, I finally walked into the place where I once worked, and naturally I didn't want to leave easily.
She just said, "If you have anything to say, just say it here. Is there anything else shameful that you have to say behind Miss's back?"
