The Changning Marquis Mansion is very big and grand. The Wanyueyuan where Su Yue lives is a bit far from the old lady’s Chunhui Courtyard. After walking for a quarter of an hour, he barely saw the gate of Wanyueyuan.
Along the way, the maid and the old lady saw her talking in a low voice. She knew what she was talking about without listening. She had heard too much and was already numb.
Su Yue had no good feelings for the Changning Marquis Mansion, but she liked the layout of the Changning Marquis Mansion. The red faces and green tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, nine-curved corridors, small bridges and flowing water, all of which were exquisite. The green bamboos and rockery outside the Wanyue Garden complemented each other.
After entering the yard, I saw two little maids cleaning the yard. When I saw her, I quickly stepped forward to salute.
From Shaoyao’s mouth, she knew that one of the two little maids was named Chu Si and the other was named Shi Wu.
Apart from these two little maids, Su Yue has not seen anyone else. It’s not that she is not there, but that she is not there and no one cares about her. If she can be lazy, she will be lazy. Instead, these two little maids are loyal and honest.
After entering the house, Su Yue glanced around and the decorations were elegant and impeccable. Shaoyao poured tea for Su Yue, but the teapots and cups on the table were all empty, so Shaoyao went outside to make tea.
Su Yue was idle and looked at the porcelain bottle on the antique shelf. Although it looked very good, it was far worse than the ones she had fallen. Thinking of the burned bamboo house, Su Yue got up angry again.
She put down the porcelain bottle and heard footsteps coming. She turned her head and saw the two maids walking in.
When she saw Su Yue, she didn’t even have the courtesy and said directly, “Why is the girl alone in the house and Shaoyao is not there to serve her?”
Su Yue’s brows slightly closed. She had no memory and really didn’t know who these two maids were.
Just as she was about to ask, Shaoyao came back with a tray. When she saw them, she was furious. “Chuntao and Dongmei, didn’t you go to the eldest lady’s yard to work? Why did you run back again?!
“
It turned out that they were the two maids who were afraid that Su Yue would marry King Chongxi of Ming Dynasty and would be widowed, and were unwilling to go to the Ming Dynasty’s mansion.
Since they have turned to the eldest lady, then they were instructed by the eldest lady when they came back.
The eldest lady and the daughter really regarded her as a thorn in her eyes. First, her daughter Su Mei gave her unhappiness, and then her eldest lady really thought that Su Yue was easy to bully. The people around her were called away when they wanted to, and they threw them away when they wanted to.
Chuntao didn’t like Shaoyao and asked them, and said with confidence, “Dongmei and I are the big girl’s close maids. I was not feeling well before, so I couldn’t go to the Ming Palace. You and Bai Zhi were cheaper. Now that the sickness is cured, the big girl is back, so of course we have to come back to serve them.”
When talking about Bai Zhi, Shaoyao’s eyes were red, “You are just afraid that the girl would be widowed when marrying Ming Wang Chongxi, so she pretended to be sick if she doesn’t want to follow him. Don’t think I don’t know!”
Dongmei looked at Su Yue,He knelt down and said, “Shaoyao was afraid that I and Chuntao would come back and steal the position of her eldest maid, so he was so provoked. I and Chuntao were loyal to the girl…”
Shaoyao stamped her feet in anger, and she looked at Su Yue with tears in her eyes. “Girl…”
Su Yue shook her head at Shaoyao, “You are so careless. Now my reputation is not good, and it is not as good as being a widow in the Ming Palace. If they weren’t loyal to me, they wouldn’t have left and would have come back to follow me and be ridiculed by others. Staying with the eldest lady is much better than staying here.”
Shaoyao didn’t expect Su Yue would smile at Chuntao and Dongmei. The two maids smiled proudly at Shaoyao.
Shaoyao burst into tears and had no words to refute.
Su Yue looked at Chuntao and Dongmei, “You two went to the eldest lady’s place for a month, can you get the contract for sale together?”
The two maids shook their heads.
Su Yue picked up the teacup and gently tweaked it with the cover of the teacup. She thought to herself, “Go and take back the contract for sale, and be smarter, take back what should be taken back, and you will miss this opportunity.”
Chuntao and Dongmei looked at each other, and the eldest lady asked them to return to the eldest girl to serve. They were reluctant. They spent so much money to bribe Zhang’s mother, persuaded the eldest lady to take them away, and then walked around and then returned to the eldest girl. Wouldn’t the money be wasted?
But they dare not complain, and they are unhappy with Mother Zhang. They are not as good as theirs. But if they take the money back in the name of the big girl, Mother Zhang will never blame them for being on their heads.
The two maids couldn’t wait to get the money back, so they stood up, “I’ll go to the eldest lady to get the contract for the sale.”
Before Su Yue could agree, the two maids left in a hurry.
When they left, Shaoyao pouted and looked at Su Yue, “Girl, do you really want them to come back?”
“Of course it’s true,” Su Yue replied.
Shaoyao looked disappointed.
Su Yue saw it and didn’t explain, she was afraid that there would be ears in the wall.
