Lu Xinran slept soundly that night. When she woke up, the sky was bright outside the window. She sat up in confusion and quickly rolled out of bed.
Cuizhu and Cuixi, who heard the noise outside, hurriedly opened the curtain and came in carrying a basin.
"Why didn't you wake me up earlier? It's too late to say hello to grandma at this hour."
"Girl, the old lady specially sent someone to send a message, saying that everyone was tired in Ronghui Garden yesterday, and there is no need to go to her courtyard to say hello today."
Lu Xinran breathed a sigh of relief and fell back on the bed with a puff.
As soon as they said this, she felt sleepy again.
She hugged Jin and rubbed herself against the quilt, her stomach growling unsatisfactorily. She sat up again, washed and changed her clothes under the service of the two of them, and then went outside to have breakfast.
She didn't expect that she would fall so quickly, but she became so comfortable using her servants in just a few days.
But...she can't comb her hair!
She can't do any of these complicated buns, and she also needs someone to help her organize the complicated dresses.
She sat at the table, looking at the trembling crabmeat buns in the bamboo cage, with confusion and surprise appearing alternately in her eyes.
Why is her treatment suddenly so good? !
Is this the kind of treatment only the wealthy masters in the mansion receive?
In the book and in the original person's faint memory, the servants of the Lu family have always treated her badly.
After they both fell into the water and she came back, Aunt Qin was punished by the Zhao family, and Lu Xinlan came to her several times. The servants in the mansion saw this and gradually did not dare to look down on others.
But when Cuizhu went to the big kitchen, all she could get back were the most common dishes and snacks that others didn't want.
This kind of precious food... wasn't it sent by mistake from the big kitchen?
"Girl, this is your role. Whatever the girls in our house have, you will have in the future."
Cuizhu didn't have too many ideas and just told her whatever she heard.
Instead, Tracy pulled off her arm and signaled her to stop talking nonsense.
Lu Xinran didn't think too much, she picked up the clean wheat straw and poked it into the soup dumpling.
While eating, he asked Tongzi in his mind how much health points he gained from eating melon last night.
"Sixty-one days in total, host. We already have three months of health."
"Why so many?"
Lu Xinran was stunned for a moment. She remembered that at the water pavilion, she was given three days and two days to eat melons, so Kang gave her the most valuable five days.
Could it be that it was only fifty days, but why did it suddenly become three months?
Tongyin said happily, "Because you later helped solve the case. You forgot that you gave me ten days for the previous case."
"How much do you get for solving a case?"
Lu Xinran was in a trance, always feeling that she had found a good way to collect health points.
Tong Yin was also very excited, "Host, let's go to Dali Temple. Lord Tang is upright and a rare good official. If we go to help him, he will definitely agree."
Lu Xinran hesitated while sipping the soup dumpling, thinking about the feasibility.
If she wanted to help solve the case, she would have to stay within ten steps of the corpse. Such a close distance...she was scared!
She was a sick person in her previous life, and she was still a sick person who couldn't have ups and downs of emotions. All she could do to watch TV dramas online was Cookies. She had never watched a murder-solving crime series.
"Host, isn't there a heroine? The heroine is interested in solving crimes. She enjoys the process of reasoning and looking at corpses. You stand behind her and read the system brochure. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"
Lu Xinran: "..."
This is the truth, but why does the heroine described by the system sound a bit perverted?
Is it possible that this is the main reason why she and the male protagonist can continue to have a bloody sadomasochistic relationship?
She bit into the thin dough of the soup dumpling and felt herself enlightened.
After eating and drinking, she lazily blew in the breeze under the eaves. Within a quarter of an hour, she was urged by the system to go to Lu Xinlan's yard.
"Two, second girl," Bitao blushed instantly when she saw her, and said awkwardly, "The eldest girl has gone to the old lady's yard. Do you want to come in and wait?"
"No."
Although Mrs. Pei didn't need them to pay her respects, Lu Xinlan had already gone, so she had to go.
In the future, she will often go out to refresh her health, and she must have a good relationship with Mr. Pei.
In Zhaoyun Courtyard, servants all over the floor were kneeling, especially the stewards in the big kitchen.
Zhao was supported by Lu Xinlan, her chest heaving violently with anger.
Although she doesn't like this daughter who came back from the country, she still came out of her belly, so there is no way she can be bullied by these servants!
"Mom, please go sit in the house first."
The manpower in the large kitchen is a bit complicated, and several stewards are close confidants of each room.
This matter is not easy to handle, and whoever takes advantage of it will offend others.
Mrs. Pei only asked these people to kneel in the yard and did not say how to deal with them for this reason.
Although Zhao is... stupid, she shouldn't be the one to do this evil thing.
She held Zhao's arm and pulled Zhao into the house forcefully.
Mrs. Zhao looked at her, confusion, hesitation and belated understanding flashed alternately in her eyes, and she clapped her hands happily.
"Fortunately, Mom still has you."
Ms. Pei was a little disdainful of this stupid daughter-in-law. She moved her gaze to the window and looked at the two stewards kneeling at the front, who had a headache as to what to do.
Lu Jinchuan's two favored aunts have had children for so many years and have also managed a lot of manpower in the house.
These two people are their confidants respectively.
If they were close associates of the Zhao family or the Kong family, she would have beaten them up long ago.
But those two aunts have never been economical, and they would run away and cry when I really tried to clean them up.
【What's going on here? Why are there so many servants kneeling in the courtyard? 】
[Isn’t this the steward in the kitchen who pretends to have a green onion stuck in his nose? 】
[Looking at how fat he is, he has made a lot of money in the big kitchen over the years. 】
[Unfortunately, these people have backers behind them. I can’t afford to offend any of them, otherwise I must make them look good. 】
Hearing the familiar voice, Pei, who was still having a headache, suddenly had an idea.
Lu Xinran crossed the crowd in the courtyard, knelt down to greet Mrs. Pei, and reluctantly gave a perfunctory salute to Mrs. Zhao.
"My granddaughter has paid her respects to her grandmother."
"Hey, good boy, I didn't let you have a good rest in the courtyard, why did you come here anyway?"
Mrs. Pei smiled and waved her over to sit down. There was no trace of haggard on her face. It seemed that what happened at Dingkanghou Mansion in Ronghui Garden the night before had not had much impact on her.
Lu Xinran took a few peeks and saw that there was no extra emotion on her face, so she sat down carefully.
[Did those people in the courtyard commit something? Why haven't you dealt with it yet? If I can give them a little more leverage, can I let them take a little more beating? 】
[It would be best if I could be kicked out of the house. Let the dog look down on people and know how to make things difficult for them! 】
Lu Xinran looked at the two stewards in the courtyard, opened the melon system and was about to flip through the brochure when she realized that she didn't know their names yet.
"Tongzi, don't you think this is a bug? Who wants to know the other person's name first? It must be within ten steps. I am too lazy to complain about this. Can this problem be corrected?"
Tongyin whispered in an aggrieved voice, "It's designed like this. It's useless for you to be cruel to Tongzi. Tongzi also wants you to collect your health points quickly."
Lu Xinran sighed, thinking that it would be difficult not to know the name, when she heard Mr. Pei suddenly say.
"Wang Dazhuang, Zhao Sanfu, can you plead guilty?"
