Tao Xin finished serving the porridge and reminisced with Tao Liu in the small kitchen.
Taoliu was much older than her and stayed with Mr. Cao longer. Taoliu was also here to serve the soothing soup.
Taoliu said: "Taoxin, please try to persuade your wife more when you go back. Look at the commotion this morning. No one looks good."
Tao Xin sighed and said, "It's not like you and Mrs. Yi don't know our wife's temper. She looks gentle on the face, but she is a stubborn person. How can we persuade her to change her?"
"I don't know what's wrong with you ladies. You are so determined to confront our wife this time. They say that the married daughter threw water and stayed in the Lin Mansion for a year. After all, she broke up with our third wife."
Taoliu's tone was filled with regret.
Tao Xin shook her head and said, "Sister Taoliu, please don't say that. Our madam...our madam might just be bewitched by men outside."
With a heart-felt intuition, Yi Huan insisted on making peace, and was inseparable from the emperor he had seen before.
Do their wives think that as long as they reconcile with General Lin, they can enter the palace and become empresses?
Why would the royal family want a second wife?
Not to mention being a empress, even if you want to be a maid in the palace, you have to undergo various rounds of interrogations. Your family background must be clean and clean, and you must not have any previous marriage experience.
"Anyway, please give me some advice when you go back. It's not easy for the third house to live. Let your wife think more about our wife. Just one second house has already caused our wife a lot of humiliation. If the other houses unite, I'm afraid it will really happen. We are going to force our lady to death.”
Tao Xin nodded in agreement and said: "Sister Taoliu, don't worry, my wife and I grew up under the blessing of Mrs. Yi. We must not forget our roots. I will help persuade you when we go back."
"As long as you know."

Whenever Yi Huan is upset, she starts embroidering, which is what her sister-in-law taught her.
But this time, the embroidery didn't work, and all I could see was my sister-in-law's angry and disappointed eyes.
Yi Huan put the silk aside, stood up and walked out, intending to go to the second room. They were making trouble with their sister-in-law, so Yi Huan went to make trouble with them.
Tao Xin came in and saw her going out, so she hurriedly asked: "Where are you going, madam?"
Yi Huan said: "Go find my second aunt."
Tao Xin hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, and said, "Have you forgotten what Mrs. Yi told you? She is angry with you now, and you are grounded, so it is better not to run around! In order to avoid angering Mrs. Yi again, why bother? Woolen cloth?"
Yi Huan gritted his teeth and said, "The second room has been targeting my sister-in-law again and again. Are we going to just tolerate it like this?"
Tao Xin said, "You don't have to bear it. Now that you have reconciled with the Lin Mansion and the second master, Mrs. Yi will have the confidence. How can the second bedroom dare to bully her?"
Yi Huan suddenly fell silent.
Tao Xin helped her sit down: "Madam, please think about it carefully. A year after you married to the Lin Mansion, Mrs. Yi's life has become easier. They are afraid of the second master and the Lin Mansion. You only need to protect the second wife of the Lin Mansion. Position, who dares to bully the third room again?"
"My own wishes are not important, are they?" Yi Huan's eyes dimmed.
Tao Xin said: "Madam, don't think so. Most women in this world can't help it! Your husband is a third-rank official in the dynasty, which is already far ahead of others and better than most women. A lot, Mrs. Yi often said that people should know how to be content with their content, and once you start coveting things that don’t belong to you, you are not far from destruction.”
"If you do well, you are not far from destruction."
Yi Huan suddenly laughed, with sarcasm in the smile, and she said: "What does it mean to be greedy for something that doesn't belong to me? Taoxin, what are you implying? If you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly."
I have grown up with her since childhood, but I miss her so much! She thought she and Lin Qingpei were trying to get along with the royal family!
Taoxin made a plop, knelt on the ground, and said: "The Tian family is ruthless, madam, please don't destroy your future!"
"The Tian family is ruthless." Yi Huan stood up, lowered her head, looked at her with lowered eyes, and asked, "Do you think I insist on divorce because of the Tian family?"
"Isn't it true? Who is the emperor? Do you think he really wants a divorced wife?"
"Taoxin, you..."
Yi Huan pointed at her, his body was shaking, and he was about to speak.
Suddenly there was a chuckle from the door: "Madam, I'm late, please forgive me."
When Yin Zhi walked in, Yi Huan looked up and saw her cold face clearly against the light.
She thought she had heard the conversation she had with Tao Xin just now.
Yin Zhi knelt in front of her and said, "Yin Zhi has met Madam."
Yi Huan looked at her with shock on his face and asked, "How did you get in?" After saying that, he subconsciously looked behind Yin Zhi. Could it be that that person also came to Yi's house?
Yin Zhi smiled slightly and said: "Madam, please don't panic. This time, I am the only servant. Of course, I entered the house as my maid with a deed in hand. Madam, starting from today, all food, drinks and daily necessities around you will be provided by Yin Zhi." Zhi Lai is responsible."
This must have been the man's order.
Jin Yuan was always like this, always thinking out loud, handing him the best knife when she was at a loss.
Yi Huan calmed down. She was already tired of Tao Xin's words just now and didn't want to keep her around anymore. She said: "Okay, in that case, you will take over Tao Xin's errands during this period." .”
Yin Zhi is the eldest maid of the Zichen Palace. She is well-mannered in everything she does and says. To be able to serve in the palace for so many years and climb to the position of eldest maid, it goes without saying that she is capable.
Tao Xin was shocked and said: "Madam, what about the slave? Don't you want the slave anymore?"
Taoxin kneeled in front of her.
"Madam, I have served you all these years and have always done my best and have never made any mistakes! Are you so cruel to let a maid who suddenly enters the house replace you?"
Taoxin's eyes were red, and she couldn't help but sob softly, her heart full of grievances.
Yi Huan lowered his eyes and looked at her. She knew that Taoxin didn't have any bad intentions, but she was really upset right now and didn't want to hear anyone telling her not to reconcile.
"Taoxin, you have been the only maid by my side all these years. Thank you for your hard work. You should have a good rest these days. From now on, I will have Yin Zhi by my side. You and Yin Zhi can still be companions, don't you think? Okay?"
Yi Huan stepped forward, held up the silver branch, and said, "You are overqualified for staying with me."
Yin Zhi hurriedly shook his head and said: "Madam, please don't say that. It is Yin Zhi's blessing to be able to serve Madam by her side."
"Okay, Tao Xin, you can take Yin Zhi down to settle down."

After leaving the courtyard, Tao Xin glared at Yin Zhi fiercely, and said, "Which house did you serve in before? The rules here are very strict, please be careful!"
Yin Zhi slowly raised her lips, sneered, and said: "Sister Tao Xin's so-called strict rules mean that slaves can point fingers in front of the master, disobey the master's decisions, and disobey the master again and again? That is really strict. , so strict that the slaves can hardly tell who is the master and who is the servant. If a maid like Sister Taoxin were in my old employer's house, she would be dragged out to fill the well."
"You! Don't bluff! My friendship with the madam is from a young age, so it's different from you. The madam treats me generously. Do you think that since we are both maids, you and I have the same status! Wait a few days for the madam to figure it out. Then you will know who is really good for her!"
