Chapter 4: Where to Go From Here

After Du Sihai heard the words of the eldest lady, his thoughts were really brought to the relationship between the two Du Qiu families. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"How is she doing now? This matter must not reach the ears of the Qiu family. ā€

"That girl is no big deal now, and the rumors of this matter have long been suppressed by me. However, I am worried that our Du family has a lot of eyes, and this matter may change. ā€

The eldest lady spoke carefully, with a hint of pride at the corner of her mouth that she was not aware of.

After listening to his wife's words, Du Sihai lightly turned the jade wrench on his left thumb and thought about it.

"Send a few more people to watch over there, and we can't go wrong at this critical moment. ā€

"Yes, sir, don't worry, I have sent someone to guard it. After the eldest lady replied lightly, her eyes rolled and she proposed softly: "Master, why don't you take people to the mountain temple for incense in two days, just show your face?"

As long as Miss Du Jiasan shows her face in front of people, even if there are all kinds of rumors before, they will be self-defeating.

When Du Sihai heard this, he bowed slightly: "This is also a way." We may not have seen our mother in a long time, so we took this opportunity to pay our respects. ā€

"Naturally, it couldn't be better. ā€

As soon as the eldest lady's mind turned, she thought of the second lady beside the old lady. Although she was dissatisfied with this, she suppressed that emotion without a trace.

After the two of them discussed their next plans, Qing Yao over there also slowly opened her misty eyes.

When she saw the embroidered curtain above her head, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes. However, when she came to her senses after a while, she quickly remembered where she was at the moment. After raising his arm to cover his eyes, a helpless smile rose at the corner of his mouth.

"Miss, are you going to get up?"

Retsuki, who didn't know how long she had been waiting by the bed, asked softly after seeing the movements of the person on the bed.

After hearing the woman's soft call, Qing Yao turned her head to look outside the bed curtain.

I saw that in the boudoir at this moment, a little candlelight had already been lit, which made the person outside the bed curtain look a little illusory.

After her eyes glanced around, she responded lightly: "Well, it's time to start." ā€

"Miss, the slave is waiting for you. ā€

Lianyue said, slowly opened the bed curtain, took the clothes on the side, and wanted to help her young lady put them on.

When Qing Yao saw the other party's actions, she lowered her eyes a little uncomfortably. For the young girl in front of her, she always had the feeling that she was employing child labor.

"Miss?"

Seeing that her young lady didn't move, Lianyue shouted softly in confusion.

Hearing this, Qing Yao slowly stretched out her arms to facilitate the other party's movements.

After a brief tidying up, she followed the guidance of the moon and came to the living room on the side. Since there are basically no customers visiting, it has become a place for a few people to eat.

As soon as she sat down, Xi Feng, dressed in light blue clothes, walked in with a tray in her hand and her steps calmly.

"Miss, let's drink the medicine while it's hot. ā€

Xifeng said, and respectfully put the medicine bowl in front of Qing Yao.

Hearing this, Qing Yao lowered her eyes and looked at the medicine bowl in front of her.

I saw that the black soup with a strong medicinal smell was steaming a little hot, which made her smell the smell unconsciously bring a little bitter illusion on the tip of her tongue.

The two maids watched their young lady's actions and stood silently aside.

Qing Yao's eyes flashed with thought, and she slowly picked up the medicine bowl and drank it all.

The bitter taste instantly filled her taste buds, and her brows wrinkled slightly.

Seeing this, Xifeng on the side immediately took out the prepared candied fruit from his sleeve.

"Miss, eat one to get rid of the bitterness. ā€

Seeing this, Qing Yao silently took the candied fruit and put it in her mouth. When the bitter taste slowly receded from the tip of her tongue, she soothed her brow and raised her eyes to look at the two maids in front of her.

"Where's the medicine?"

She knew that the Du family didn't ask a doctor to see her injuries in order to prevent the news from leaking, so she naturally wouldn't take the initiative to grab the medicine.

"It's all up to Sister Xifeng to ask the kitchen for help, otherwise those people wouldn't be so kind. ā€

Seeing that her young lady was asking the reason, Lianyue explained with the corners of her mouth pursed.

When Qing Yao heard this, she lowered her eyes and replied lightly: "Well, I'm sorry for you." ā€

"This is the duty of a slave. ā€

Because of the fact that the wind is a little older, it is naturally better than the moon to see it thoroughly. Although the two have been with the young lady for many years, and they are often called sisters, they have always been maids, so she knows very well the difference between respect and inferiority.

Qing Yao stared at the look on Xifeng's face, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. Although the two women in front of them are the little sisters of the original owner, their feelings are not very pure because of the difference in identity.

Besides, although she has inherited all the memories of the original owner, she is still not the original person, so she doesn't feel anything wrong with the attitude of the person in front of her.

Retsuki looked at the two people who fell silent again in front of her, with a deep incomprehension in her eyes. After blinking his eyes in confusion, his gaze shifted back and forth between the two, trying to find out what the problem was.

"Miss, it's already time, I'll go and bring dinner. ā€

After putting away the medicine bowl with a natural demeanor, he said in a deep voice.

"Hmm. ā€

Qing Yao replied in a low voice, with no other look on her face.

When Xifeng left slowly, Liyue poured tea for her young lady while chattering about the gossip she heard today.

"Miss, I only found out today that the Qiu family was like that......"

Qing Yao held the hot tea in her hand, and lowered her eyes to listen to Lianyue's self-talk.

From the other party's story, she gradually depicted the grievances and grievances of a big family in her mind.

Although the Qiu family is a first-class family, it has already begun to decline. If it can't be revitalized, it will inevitably be reduced to a second-class family.

And Qiu Quming of the Qiu family is just a concubine of the current head of the Qiu family, and his personality is also cynical, and he is a gentleman in everyone's eyes. However, this concubine is very lucky to have a mother who is deeply loved by the head of the family, so his status in the Qiu family is not inferior to that of his concubine, so naturally no one dares to mess with him.

"Qiu Family ......"

Qing Yao clenched the teacup in her hand, and a cold color flashed from her eyes.

"Miss, please eat. ā€

At this time, the departing Xifeng happened to return, which interrupted her train of thought that she was going to continue.

"Hmm. ā€

Qing Yao bowed slightly, watching the other party start to cook for herself.

"Miss, the eldest lady sent someone to send a message, saying that they would go to Hongxia Mountain to pray for blessings in two days. ā€

After tidying up the table, Xifeng said the message he had just received.

"Hongxia Mountain?"

Hearing this, Qing Yao raised the corners of her eyebrows and asked rhetorically.

"There is a thousand-year-old temple on Hongxia Mountain, where the old lady and the second lady have recently been repaired. ā€

Xifeng saw that his young lady had questions, so he hurriedly answered them.
