Chapter 314 Inquiry
The maid cautiously came all the way to the gate of the courtyard and looked at the busy group of maids and women inside.
After standing for a while, the maid walked in, wanting to find out something.
"Well, who are you serving here......" The maid asked aloud as she found an elderly mother-in-law.
The woman turned her head and glanced at her, and her brow furrowed.
"You're not from our yard, are you?" The woman asked coldly.
didn't expect this mother-in-law to ask like this, and Shangguan Wanyi's maid was stunned for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, the maid hesitated and replied, "It's really not, but I'm just a little curious to ask, can't I say?" ”
Hearing this, the woman coldly retracted her gaze: "I don't advise." ”
After speaking, the mother-in-law began to continue to do what she was doing, and no longer paid attention to Guan Wanyi's maid.
The maid was suddenly a little puzzled, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask something more.
However, before she could say anything, the woman interrupted her directly: "If you don't leave, I will tell Your Highness." ”
Hearing this woman say this, she didn't give her a way out, and the maid had no choice but to smile at her.
"Okay, okay, I'll go, I'll go......" The maid said with a dry smile.
After speaking, he hurriedly turned around and prepared to leave.
The woman just glanced at her, didn't say anything more, picked up what she was holding and turned away.
And Shangguan Wanyi's maid saw that the mother-in-law was leaving, so she quickly stopped, and cautiously turned her head to look at the mother-in-law, and after confirming that she had left, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She came to this courtyard to investigate, but she must not ask Qi Cheng'an to find out.
Then the maid continued to inquire about the other maidservants, and asked them one by one, but she could not ask anything.
The maids and ladies in this courtyard are estimated to be all trusted by Qi Cheng'an, otherwise they wouldn't have asked nothing.
She had been asking for so long, and those people were either unwilling to deal with her, or they were just guarding against her like the mother-in-law before.
For a while, the maid was a little deflated.
Immediately afterwards, the maid quickly cheered up again: "No, I can't live up to the expectations that my master gave me." ”
So, the maid looked around the maids in the courtyard again, and finally found a maid who seemed to be a little timid.
"That, girl......" the maid called out to the maid.
The servant girl was stunned for a moment, and looked at her with some confusion.
"Can you ...... Tell me, who is the one who brings food to the master in this courtyard? The maid asked hesitantly.
Sure enough, as soon as she heard this, the servant girl looked at her with a wary expression.
Before she could speak, the maid hurriedly stepped forward to her side and stuffed a heavy ingot of silver into her hand: "Shhh...... Only you know about it, and I promise not to tell anyone about it. ”
The maid was stunned, weighed the silver in her hand, pursed her lips, looked at the maid, and did not speak.
Seeing this, the maid knew that she was a little shaken.
Soon, the maid continued to add in a low voice: "I don't want you to do anything for me, just let you tell me who the maid sent is, you say yes." ”
Hearing the maid say this, the maid hesitated for a while, and finally nodded.
Then the maidservant took the maid to find the maidservant who delivered the meal.
"Okay, thank you, this silver should be my thank you." The maid looked at the servant girl who was busy in the kitchen, and said out loud to the servant girl beside her.
The maid just looked at her and whispered, "Well, then you have to remember that you haven't seen me at all today." ”
"Don't worry." The maid replied quickly.
After receiving her answer, the servant girl was reluctantly relieved, and quickly turned away.
The maid was hiding outside the kitchen and waiting.
It didn't take long for the maid who was going to deliver the food to come out, and the maid was startled, and quickly picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at her feet.
When the servant girl stepped on the stone, she exclaimed in surprise and fell to the ground, letting out a muffled snort of pain: "Hmm......"
The maid hurriedly went out, came to her, and pretended to be panicked and asked, "What's wrong, what's wrong with you?" ”
As he spoke, he hurriedly reached out to help her up.
The maidservant was supported by the maid, got up with difficulty, and limped to the side of the stool and sat down.
"Are you alright?" The maid pretended to be very nervous and asked aloud.
The servant girl frowned and pressed her legs, gritted her teeth, and shook her head gently: "It's okay, but I'm afraid I won't be able to deliver food at noon today." ”
Hearing this, the maid hurriedly replied: "I can help you go, don't go, you don't have to hurt your legs again." ”
At the same time, the maid's heart was extremely happy.
She was still thinking about how to use this servant girl's words so that she could deliver food instead of her, but this servant girl said it herself.
After hearing the maid's words, the maid thought for a moment and agreed: "Okay, then thank you so much." ”
This maid only works in the kitchen on weekdays, and the other maidservants don't know much, so they directly think that the maid in front of her at the moment is working in this yard with her, and she only thinks that she is kind, and she doesn't think much about it.
Later, the maidservant told the maid where the lunch box was, and asked her to help deliver it.
After the maid took the lunch box, she walked to the main pavilion in the courtyard.
Standing outside the door, the maid knocked on the door.
"Enter." There was a faint sound from inside.
After hearing this sound, the maid slowly pushed open the door and walked in.
I saw a woman sitting at a table in the room, looking out the window, as if thinking about something.
The moment she saw Mu Xiwan, the maid was a little surprised.
She never thought that there would be such a beautiful woman in this.
"Master, the meal is ready." The maid said respectfully.
Mu Xiwan turned her head to look at her, and after looking at her for a while, the maid suddenly lowered her head in a panic.
"Someone else came to deliver food today?" Mu Xiwan looked at her and asked out loud.
Hearing this, the maid hurriedly stammered and replied, "Back to the master, she ...... She accidentally injured her leg today, and the slave maid came to help her deliver food. ”
Hearing her answer, Mu Xiwan just responded lightly: "Put it on the table." ”
The maid hurriedly answered, put the lunch box on the table, and left in a panic.
After going out, the maid did not stay in the yard too much, and soon left the yard.
