"Hello, Manager Zhao. Is it okay for the two of us to come over and visit Miss Taoye?"
This voice is extremely soft and charming, even better than the red gauze voice yesterday.
"It turns out to be Sister Qiulian and Sister Luju!"
He came at the right time, Tao Ye greeted him with a smile on his face, Zhao Jin bowed his head and retreated when he saw Tao Ye coming out.
"Sister Taoye, I haven't seen you in the past few days. I didn't expect you to have such a great blessing and become the fifth young master!"
"The Fifth Young Master has a very good eye, and only a beauty like Sister Taoye can catch his eye!"
"It's all promoted by the madam and the fifth young master. We who are slaves and maids, how can we deserve to mention the word "good fortune"!"
Taoye lowered her eyes and looked at the two people holding her on the left and right. They were very affectionate. Unbeknownst to her, she thought they were long-lost biological sisters.
"I have long heard that Sister Taoye is Madam's favorite person. Madam relies on you very much and cannot do anything without you. Unexpectedly, she thought of assigning you to the fifth young master? This is something that none of us expected?"
Qiulian sighed softly.
"Everyone in the house knows that Madam loves the fifth young master. As long as the fifth young master wants it, how can he be reluctant to give it to him?"
Taoye raised her eyebrows slightly as she spoke, her tone quite proud.
Seeing the envy flashing across the faces of the two of them, Taoye added to his anger: "Fortunately, the fifth young master treats me in a considerate and gentle manner!"
At the end of the sentence, Taoye's voice was almost inaudible, but the two people nearby could naturally hear it clearly.
"This is Sister Taoye's blessing, but..."
"I heard that Sister Taoye spent the whole morning with the Fifth Young Master today. It turns out that my sister has some tricks up her sleeve. She was just accused of being a common roommate, and the Fifth Young Master is so inseparable from you. You know, yesterday, in order to avoid the eldest lady, the Fifth Young Master, He didn't even show respect to His Highness the Crown Prince, he disappeared for a full hour and didn't even show up when he presented the birthday gift to the old lady."
Before Qiulian could finish her words, she was hurriedly interrupted by Lu Ju, but after Lu Ju finished speaking, she immediately answered:
"What Lu Ju is talking about is that the eldest young master also mentioned something when he came back yesterday. If His Royal Highness hadn't been there and the madam was protecting him, the Duke would have punished the fifth young master yesterday!"
"No, the fifth young master is all wet. He said he fell into the river because he was drunk. But who doesn't know that the fifth young master has the best drinking capacity and can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk?"
Luju looked at Taoye up and down without concealing it. Her eyes wanted to see through her clothes and see the scene inside: "Sister Taoye looks a little tired, isn't she..."
"Yes, he must have been tired before noon!"
Taoye raised her hands to cover her face and interrupted Luju's words. A pale red patch was exposed on a snow-white arm. If you look carefully, you can still see finger prints.
This was left when Rong Jiu pulled her into his arms just now. Her skin was tender and a slight bump would leave marks.
Qiulian and Luju, whose eyes had been falling on Taoye, naturally saw this trace. Luju stared at it for a few times and leaned forward, wishing to grab Taoye's arm and take a good look at it.
But before he saw enough, Taoye put down his hand, and the cuffs slid down again, covering the marks.
Luo Ju's reaction was expected by Tao Ye, but Qiu Lian's reaction on the side was a little weird.
Seeing the red mark on her arm, she subconsciously lowered her eyes and touched her right arm with her left hand. The moment she touched it, her eyebrows seemed to frown slightly in pain.
"Sister Qiulian, is there an injury on her arm?"
"No...we can't do heavy work now, we won't get hurt anywhere!"
Noticing Taoye's gaze, Qiulian quickly removed her left hand.
"Although Sister Taoye is loved by the fifth young master now, there are still those two people in this courtyard. I'm afraid my sister will have to worry more about it in the future!"
These words sounded caring, but Taoye actually heard some malice and schadenfreude in them.
This kind of malice was well concealed. If Taoye hadn't been living in Ren Yazi's hands since he was a child and had seen many duplicitous people, he wouldn't have noticed it all at once.
"Why don't we see Qingxing and the others today?"
Green Orange, who was unaware of the two people's thoughts, said doubtfully.
"Qingmei made some mistakes while serving the meal, and was punished by the Fifth Young Master to kneel down for half an hour. The two of them should be in the back room at the moment, maybe applying medicine!"
After lunch, Taoye begged Rongjiu to forgive Qingmei in front of Qingxing. After all, they were the people rewarded by the queen. No matter how the fifth young master treated them in the past, with the queen's love for him, nothing would happen. , but now that she is punishing these two people because of her humble wife, if something happens to her and spreads to the palace, she may not be able to get into trouble.
But at that time, although the fifth young master agreed to her, he looked at her with a very deep look.
"The rules in the Fifth Young Master's yard are stricter, certainly not as good as those in the First Young Master and Second Young Master's!"
After hearing this, Taoye saw that Qiulian and Luju had some sarcasm on their faces, but Qiulian avoided her gaze, while Luju was a little unhappy.
Not to mention the eldest young master, the second young master Rong Ying is lustful. There are two maids across Ming Road alone. If it weren't for the madam's pressure, even the outstanding-looking maids in this mansion would not be able to escape his hands.
"I've disturbed Sister Taoye for a while now, so I should leave. If I have time in the future, I'll visit you more often!"
Qiulian knew that she couldn't come up with anything useful if she stayed here any longer, so she wanted to leave. After saying this, she didn't wait for Luju and went out by herself.
"Sister Taoye, why didn't I see you waiting at Madam's side at the banquet yesterday?"
Luju still refuses to give up. The second young master likes the new and hates the old. She has gradually lost her favor. If she can help the second young master get this matter straight, she can beat Hongying.
"I coughed a few times yesterday, but Madam didn't let me go forward!"
After the difficult Qiulian left, Taoye was mostly relieved, but she didn't want to deal with it patiently anymore: "Why does Sister Luju keep asking about last night? I heard that the banquet yesterday was good, but it's a pity that I can't." Good luck seeing it, otherwise I can have a good talk with my sister!"
"No way, I just met my sister today. I felt like old friends as soon as I saw her, and I wanted to talk more!"
In fact, Luju didn't even finish listening to Taoye's words, and began to retort hurriedly. When he said it, he could hardly hide the guilt in his eyes: "Then sister is packing things first, and I will go back first. The second young master is still there. Wait for me to serve you!”
After saying that, he turned around and left in a hurry.
After Luju left, Taoye fell into deep thought. Thinking of the fifth young master's reaction during lunch, she always felt that she had missed something.
…
The west room was very large, more than twice as big as Taoye's previous room. After putting the things in the box away one by one and hiding the jade pendant properly, Taoye lay on the bed to take a rest, and waited until he woke up. , the sun is already dim.
Just as Taoye wanted to get up, she was pressed down on the bed by a dark shadow.
