When Red Sleeves said this, tears flowed down her eyes.

Xiaocui persuaded: "Sister Red-sleeved, let's be a maid to put it bluntly, we are the master's punching bag, who told us to be the life of the next person, unless we ......"

"Unless what?" asked Redsleeves.

Xiao Cui was dull for a moment and said, "Unless it's like Aunt Yan." โ€

"Aunt Yan?" redsleeves murmured.

"Aunt Yan used to be the same maid in the lady's room as Xiaocui, named Ruyan, and later the lady assigned Xiaocui to the yard of the eldest lady, and Ruyan went to the eldest young master's room, originally they were all maids, who would have thought that somehow later, Ruyan was favored by the eldest young master, and the eldest young master took her into the room as an aunt. โ€

Red sleeves said: "I remembered when you said this, the eldest young master used to beg Mrs. to take a concubine, and Mrs. was angry at that time. โ€

Xiao Cui said slowly: "Yes, the eldest young master took a concubine before he married a wife, and the lady was angry, and threatened to kill Aunt Yan, not to hide from Sister Redsleeve, Xiao Cui and Aunt Yan were originally fellow villagers, so they secretly went to see her." At that time, Aunt Yan was beaten all over her body and bruised, and her body was covered in blood, and I also said that it was not so miserable when she was a maid, but Aunt Yan said that if it was done this time, she would no longer have to be called and drunk like when she was a maid before. I didn't believe it at the time, but now I see that Aunt Yan eats and drinks well every day, and she is still a maid now. โ€

"Aunt Yan is right, take a gamble, if you win, you will be the master, and you don't have to be a maid. Redsleeves muttered.

"Sister Red Sleeves, what did you just say?" Xiaocui didn't hear clearly. Xiaocui asked.

Red Sleeves hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing." โ€

Hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Is the eldest young master good to Aunt Yan?" Red Sleeves remembered the demeanor of the eldest young master Ling Zhengchu, and couldn't help but be happy in his heart.

Xiaocui said: "I don't know much about this, now that she is an aunt, I rarely see her." But I heard that she was inquiring about the home remedies for giving birth a few days ago. โ€

Red Sleeves asked, "This Aunt Yan can't have children?"

Xiao Cui shook her head and said, "It's not, it's just that the eldest young master hasn't married Mrs. Zhengfang yet, so Mrs. Yan is not allowed to give birth to a child in the concubine's room, so she poured Aunt Yan with avoidance soup, and it is not good for this woman to drink too much avoidance soup." โ€

"In that case, being the concubine of the eldest young master is not necessarily a good thing, and he can't even give birth to a child. Redsleeves said thoughtfully.

Xiaocui smiled: "After all, it's better than being a maid, and being a maid is either to follow the master all his life, or to be a servant, or to be a subordinate." โ€

Red sleeves said: "I have always been a subordinate, I will always be inferior, and I am not allowed to be beaten and scolded." Xiaocui, I have to go first, it won't be good if people see it, what you and I said today, don't tell anyone else. โ€

Xiao Cui nodded and said, "Sister Red Sleeves, don't worry, Xiao Cui will never say it." โ€

Red Sleeves smiled: "Xiaocui, you are a good person, if I develop one day, I will definitely not forget you." โ€

Xiao Cui smiled and nodded.

The red sleeves who turned to leave didn't notice the sarcastic smile on the corner of Xiaocui's mouth behind him.

Zhao heard that someone had come to report that Grandpa Guo was back, so he hurriedly tidied up his clothes slightly and went to Ling Guogong's study.

She ordered someone to wait at the door early in the morning, and as soon as Grandpa Guo returned, he immediately told her.

Zhao went to Ling Guogong's study.

"Grandpa Guo. โ€

Ling Guocheng lowered his head to think about things, and when he heard the voice, he looked up and saw that it was the Zhao family.

"What are you doing here?" the tone was not salty or light, he didn't like people coming to his study on weekdays.

"You all go out first. The Zhao family first dismissed the subordinates, and after everyone left, they said to Ling Guogong: "Master, the concubine has an urgent matter to discuss with you." โ€

Ling Guogong asked, "What's the matter?" Zhao had always been knowledgeable, and he was not very good at doing things he didn't like.

"Master, Yue'er came back from Baiyun Temple today, and as soon as she came back, she repeatedly asked about the horse master, and said that the horse master was killed by someone, and she found the murderer!"

The master of the horse refers to Ling Haoyue's father, Ling Yuanqian, and Ling Yuma.

Ling Guogong frowned slightly.

Zhao continued: "What the girl said was vivid, saying that the master of the horse gave her a dream and asked her to avenge him, and also said that the soul card enshrined in the Baiyun Temple had fallen, and it must be the murderer who killed him by his side, and the old lady seemed to believe her words. โ€

"Look, how is this going to be?" Zhao asked in a tentative tone.

After a moment, Ling Guogong replied lightly: "Let her go, she is the only daughter of the second brother, and she should care about her father." โ€

Zhao couldn't figure out what Ling Guogong meant, Ling Guogong was either busy with official business, or went out to socialize, and rarely met with Ling Haoyue, but she couldn't, if she didn't pay attention to what she missed, the consequences would be serious.

"Master, but the horse and the princess were ...... back then"

Before Zhao finished speaking, Ling Guogong directly interrupted her: "What's wrong with them? When the second brother was in his prime, it was a pity that something happened to him, and my own brother was also very sad. God is jealous of talent, and the second brother was intercepted and killed by the enemy on the way to the battlefield. The tone was cold, as if it was regret and sorrow, and it seemed that he was just stating the facts of his opinion, and there were no other emotional factors.

Zhao said in a low voice: "Master, the concubine understands what to do. โ€

Ling Guogong's gaze swept past her, and said, "Haoyue is young and ignorant, why are you messing around!"

Zhao Shi was said by him, and his scalp was a little numb. Outsiders don't know Ling Guogong, but she, a pillow person who has been around for more than 20 years, does know that Ling Guogong seems to have a kind temperament, but he is actually indifferent.

"What does the old man mean?" If it was a side matter, the Zhao family would not have come to tell him in person, this matter was beyond the scope of the Zhao family's control.

"The second brother has been gone for many years, and now there is no need to turn it out again. Tuo Mengzhi said that it was just that Haoyue's parents died when she was a child, and she thought about it day and night. โ€

However, the concubine doesn't seem to be a person who gives up easily, since she came back from Baiyun Temple last time, the whole person seems to have changed, the girl is older, and she has her own ideas. โ€

Zhao had to give Ling Guogong a reminder, she and Ling Wanrou had already suffered several losses in Ling Haoyue's hands, although she didn't say it, but she already felt in her heart that Ling Haoyue was no longer the little girl she used to handle.

"Zhao, you have been in charge of the internal affairs of the mansion for many years, and you can't even handle this little thing. The old lady is now sick, and at this time, she still found out the sad things of the second brother, isn't this poking the old lady's heart!" Ling Guogong disagreed.

"Master, the concubine is also worried about you! ...... back then" The Zhao family was worried when they saw that he didn't know Ling Haoyue so much.

"What person!" Ling Guogong suddenly spoke.

Zhao was taken aback, could it be that someone was eavesdropping.

"Someone, there's an assassin!" Ling Guogong exhaled, and in an instant, a guard appeared in the house.

"The thief is leaving!" Ling Guogong suddenly saw a figure flickering outside the window, and hurriedly ordered, "Hurry up and chase, live or die!"

Zhao looked stunned for a moment, and only came back to his senses after a while: "Master, could it be that someone outside the window was eavesdropping on us just now?"

What did she say just now? Zhao's heartbeat accelerated instantly, and he desperately recalled in his mind what she had said just now, whether she should have said anything that she shouldn't have said.

Ling Guogong glanced at her: "You are the head of the Ling Guogong Mansion, why do you panic when you encounter something! It seems that you have been years old, but this insight is gradually degrading!"

Zhao quickly relived what had just happened in her mind, and then she realized, "Master, you already knew that someone was eavesdropping outside the window?"

Fortunately, she spoke very vaguely, and never said anything that should not be said, every time she said that, she was interrupted by Ling Guogong, and then seeing that Ling Guogong did not have the slightest surprise on his face, she realized that maybe Ling Guogong had already known that someone was eavesdropping outside the window.

Ling Guogong's expression did not change in the slightest, and he nodded lightly.

Zhao guessed correctly, he already knew.

"Then master, why didn't you say it earlier!" Zhao's words were slightly blaming, she didn't answer Ling Guogong's vigilance, she just unconsciously said what she wanted to say in her heart, although she didn't say anything clearly, but she said a lot of ambiguous things, if someone listened to it, it was inevitable that she would have some thoughts.

"You're blaming me. Ling Guogong's eyes were a little cold when he looked at Zhao.

Zhao's voice was a little lower, and he said in a low voice: "Who is that person, I don't know what the purpose is, if the master had said it earlier, he would have been prepared for a long time." "Be prepared not to say anything that shouldn't be said, and it's better not to mention it.

"Grandpa Guo, the villain is incompetent, so let people run away. Then a guard came and said.

"But what did you find? who is outside?" asked Ling Guogong.

The guard replied, "The man was wearing a black scarf and a night coat, and when the little man was about to tear off her scarf, the man threw a handful of lime over him, and by the time the little man opened his eyes, the man had already run away." But the villain stabbed her in the shoulder blade. โ€

"Rubbish!" Zhao said angrily, she urgently needed to find the eavesdropper now, and she always felt unsure.

"Damn the villain!" the guard quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.

"What are you still kneeling here, why don't you go and get people back!" Zhao was anxious.

Ling Guogong grabbed her and said, "Okay! This backyard has always been taken care of by you, but now that you are a thief, you are the most derelict in your duties." โ€

Zhao was dumbfounded.

"I'm going to see what tricks she can play. Ling Guogong looked at the light outside the door and muttered.

"Huh?" Ling Guogong's voice was too small for Zhao to hear clearly.

Ling Guocheng said with a smile: "Okay, there are thieves in the mansion, looking at the direction of Cuizhuyuan, I don't know if the others are okay, madam, you go with me to have a look." โ€
