Lu Qingrong looked at the two people in front of him, and couldn't help but think in his heart, if Jiang Xuan saw their delicate and forbearant appearance, would he be as troublefree as himself......

quickly retracted his mind, only to see that Wu Qiniang and Wu Shi Niang had not spoken anymore, but stood quietly in place, showing their resignation.

Lu Qingrong knew that their explanations didn't look like lies.

After all, it is the person carefully selected by the Empress Dowager Wu, and it is a side branch of the Wu family, no matter how far the relationship is, it will not be reduced to the point of doing rough work at home.

"Where did you get so many clothes to wash?" Lu Qingrong asked, his voice still not inaudible with joy or anger.

This time, Wu Siniang replied very quickly: "It was Cai Mei and Cai Lian who brought it to us to wash!" ”

"They?" Lu Qingrong seemed to be able to guess some, "What did you ask you to wash?" ”

"There are clothes, sheets, and ......" Wu Siniang also realized that she was in a bit of a hurry just now, and deliberately slowed down her speech at this time, and her voice was much softer.

At this time, Wu Qiniang interrupted her again, in a tone that was even gentler than her: "It's just a few clothes, not much else." ”

Lu Qingrong didn't take these details seriously, but just asked, "Why do you want to wash their clothes?" ”

This time, Wu Siniang was glanced at by Wu Qiniang and did not rush to speak again.

Only Wu Qiniang spoke slowly: "The slaves and maids were originally ordered by the Queen Mother to come to the Hou Mansion to serve the Marquis of Jingyuan, who was injured on the battlefield in Mobei. But because the slaves and maids were clumsy and failed to serve the prince well, they felt very guilty, so they thought that they should try to do what they could. ”

Lu Qingrong's face was pale, but he couldn't help but smile in his heart, it is rare that this Wu Qiniang can say such a thing, and I don't know if she knows that there are really many maids who eat idle meals in this Yu Courtyard......

But smiling and laughing, Lu Qingrong was still a little alert.

It's just because Wu Qiniang said these words are too thoughtful.

first pointed out that they were "on the orders of the Queen Mother", and they were obviously refused to approach by Jiang Xuan, but they said that it was because of "their own clumsiness", and at the same time, they reaffirmed the identity of the "maid" again to show enough self-knowledge.

Lu Qingrong felt that since she came to the Great Qi Dynasty, she had never seen a maid who spoke so properly.

"Alright, don't be so presumptuous." Lu Qingrong was not very patient, "Shizi and I don't like to be surrounded by a large group of people, so you don't need too many people to serve, you don't have to feel guilty, you can stay in Yuyuan in peace, even if it is the best explanation to the Queen Mother and the prince." ”

After speaking, Lu Qingrong waved his hand and said: "Go down and rest, if Cai Mei Cai Lian instructs you to do things again in the future, just ignore them!" ”

When Wu Qiniang and Wu Shi Niang heard this, they immediately responded and retreated one after the other.

On the way back, Wu Siniang was a little reluctant, and when she returned to the house where the two of them lived together, the resentment on her face became more obvious.

"There was such a good opportunity just now, and Madame took the initiative to ask, why didn't you let me tell the truth?" Wu Shi Niang asked angrily, completely missing the delicate just now.

"It's almost said already, where is there more truth?" Wu Qiniang shook her head helplessly.

"Absolutely! Where is it just to help them with laundry, and bed sheets, bedding and so on, I wonder, there are only two of them, where did they get so many things! Wu Shi Niang thinks about it now, and she is still angry.

She's telling the truth.

I thought that when I first arrived, in order to have a good relationship with the maids in the elm courtyard, I just took the initiative once, but I didn't think about it, the Cai Mei and Cai Lian were endless, and I took things to wash them all day and night, and in just one month's work, even the bed and curtain in the two-person room were washed twice......

The more Wu Shi Niang thought about it, the more angry she became.

"Be quiet, it's their house next to it, be careful that the wall has ears." Wu Qi Niang's voice has always been very soft.

"Such a good opportunity, why didn't you let me speak just now?" Wu Shi Niang continued to ask, but also lowered her voice obediently.

"What's the use of saying that? It's nothing more than a complaint against those two. Don't forget, the Queen Mother asked us to come to the Hou Mansion not to compete with a maid! ”

When Wu Siniang heard this, she was suddenly a little stunned, but she still argued: "Should you fight or fight!" After all, one less is one! ”

"It's better to do less of this thing that harms others and is not beneficial to yourself!" Wu Qiniang disagreed with her words, "The prince obviously doesn't trust you and me, and he can't even give the face of the queen mother, so he just cools us." Do you want to tell me that these problems can be solved by bringing down a single plum picker? ”

Wu Shi Niang finally wilted this time, no longer stiff-mouthed, and sighed instead: "It would be nice if the prince was also present just now." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Wu Qiniang's eyebrows did not stretch.

"Didn't the eldest aunt say that men are protective, and they are the most powerless to resist poor women!" Wu Shi Niang remembered what Mrs. An Lehou said before they came.

"Then divide the people! After a month, you still can't see it? Cai Mei and Cai Lian are self-respecting and outstanding, and they are the people sent by Qinyi Academy, so they are arrogant in the maid, but have you ever seen the prince take care of them? Pampering, that's not to mention! ”

"That'...... What shall we do? ”

Wu Qiniang was only silent for a moment: "Of course, it is directly from the son!" I'm afraid I'll have to bypass the lady to do it. The prince obviously values Mrs. very much, and he didn't let you sue just now, because he didn't want to dislike her in front of Mrs., more things are better than less things, and it is better not to provoke Mrs. to pay attention. ”

"Just do as you say! And the lady is young and mild-mannered, so it should be very easy to fool! Wu Siniang was full of confidence, and suddenly thought again: "But how can we get close to the prince?" In addition to going to the study, the prince is in the lady's room...... The study doesn't let people in......"

"Don't underestimate Madame! At her young age, she can tie the prince to the house so steadily, and this alone is not to be underestimated! When Wu Qiniang said this, she suddenly showed a smile, "As for the prince...... I also know a place! ”

"What place? Don't sell it soon! ”

"The storeroom of the Elm Temple."

"Warehouse?" Wu Shi Niang frowned, "What is the prince going to do there?" ”

"I don't know. I only know that yesterday's mother Cao, who is said to have disappeared for many days, came back and let people move a lot of things in, which was full of all kinds of furnishings, even the bed! The prince passed before dawn today, and he didn't come out until three o'clock in the morning, and he stayed in it for more than an hour! ”

Wu Siniang didn't bother to ask her where she knew this, she pondered the meaning of her words, and suddenly had a plan in her heart.

The two looked at each other and smiled, just waiting for the prince to go to the treasury again. R1152
