Chapter 32: The Maid Conflict
Rong Che turned her head to look at Ji Yanning, and at this time she had already stood up and was facing him.
Seeing that Ji Yanning was about to make a move if he didn't agree with him, Rong Che hurriedly explained: "I'm not a killer. ”
Ji Yanning's eyes flashed slightly, and he still had a silver needle between his fingertips and didn't move, so he stared at him like this.
Rong Che explained: "Didn't you say last time that you could come over in two days to get the antidote to the dark incense? ”
Ji Yanning's gaze still didn't take his eyes off him: "You are not the person before." ”
"It doesn't matter. Rong Che said, "Whoever takes it is the same." ”
"It's too late today, let the person from before come tomorrow. Ji Yanning said.
Rong Che knew that she had always been careful in everything, so she responded, and was about to turn around, when her eyes swept to the faint scar on her white neck, which looked a little abrupt, but she didn't realize it.
The injury should have been caused today, no wonder she was not in the house all day today.
"Miss Ji's kindness, I don't know how to repay it, why don't I send you two guards?" Rong Che looked at her.
Ji Yanning said: "No need, after taking the medicine, please treat you as if you haven't seen me in the future." ”
The corners of Rong Che's lips hooked up a smile, he forgot that this woman would not trust others easily.
He took out a jade pendant from his arms and put it on the table: "If you need it in the future, you can return this jade pendant to the shopkeeper of Baiwei Building on East Street, and they will help you." ”
Ji Yanning looked at the jade pendant on the table, his face changed in an instant, and his gaze at Rong Che was even more complicated.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Rong Che walked towards the direction of the window, jumped up and disappeared into the night.
Ji Yanning heard that there was no sound outside, so she stepped forward and closed the window, staring at the imperial carp jade pendant on the table, her eyes gloomy.
The imperial carp jade pendant is a jade pendant that will only be given to the prince of Great Wei when he is born, and it is a symbol of their status, so he can naturally command the power in their hands.
He didn't know that he knew this imperial carp jade pendant, thinking that he would treat it as an ordinary token, and he made it clear that this jade pendant could only be used once, and in order for them to help, he needed to return the jade pendant.
It's just that she won't always be in Jiangzhou, and then this jade pendant will be able to play its true value.
An antidote, in exchange for an imperial carp jade pendant, no loss.
Ji Yanning put away the jade pendant, and then stopped.
She was asleep, but Webster couldn't sleep.
Ji Yanning returned to the Ji family unharmed, which showed that her plan had failed, and Steward Liu had also had an accident.
She didn't understand why Ji Yanning, this girl, could have such good luck every time, and she evaded her plans and calculations several times! Now almost all the people she could use in her hands were folded in Ji Yanning's hands, so how could she not be angry.
"Madame, don't worry. The grandmother beside her said, "The slave family is reliable, even if they catch Steward Liu, they will not lead Mrs. without evidence, not to mention that Steward Liu wants to protect his wife and children, so he can only hold his teeth." ”
Wei Shi rubbed his head with his hand and said, "Even so, haven't we lost a lot of people?" Now we have almost no people in our hands, and I am afraid that the remaining people will not dare to oppose Ji Yanning again." ”
Mama's face was embarrassed, looking at the second lady like this, she said: "Madam, the eldest lady is so evil, I'm afraid that if I fight with her again, it will only hurt us." ”
Webster's face darkened for a moment, and he pondered for a long time before he sighed.
"That's it, don't rush this time. Merriam-Webster said, "Let her bounce for a while." ”
Mama said: "That's the reason." Now that the second master is not in Jiangzhou, Mrs. has to plan more for the second lady and the fourth young master. ”
Thinking that Ji Wei was not lightly injured by Ji Yanning, he became afraid of Ji Yanning after the beating, and the whole person became a little timid and cowered, and Wei was so angry that his liver hurt.
She snorted coldly: "Cangzhou's letter should also come back in the past two days, and when the Shen family's family affairs become Wan'er's, why worry about the second room being restrained by her again!"
A few days ago, the old lady had already sent a letter to Cangzhou, because of the death of Ji Tingsheng and his wife, so the Shen family was asked to change the family affair to Wan'er, but I was afraid that Ji Yanning would be very angry after knowing about it, thinking like this, Wei's mood was finally better.
Early the next morning, the eagle came to take the antidote to the dark incense.
It didn't take long for Steward Wu to hurriedly walk into Ji Yanning's courtyard.
"Miss, Steward Liu died in prison, he committed suicide. Steward Wu said, "Now no one can testify against the second lady." ”
Ji Yanning guessed well, she said indifferently: "If you die, you will die, if the second lady can let him do such a thing, she must have the bargaining chips in her hand to manage Liu." ”
Steward Wu felt a pity in his heart, seeing that the spearhead was pointed directly at the second room, he originally thought that he could bring down the second lady this time.
Ji Yanning said: "Steward Wu doesn't have to be too bold, at least in a short period of time, she won't make another move." By the way, what's going on with the new stewardship in Zhuangzi?"
"I have already sent a reliable person over, and there will definitely be no trouble. Steward Wu replied, "Now that the hearts of the people of Baochang Ji have stabilized, and there is no need to worry about business matters, the transfer made Master Guo accept a portion of the profits given by the eldest lady, so naturally he will not watch the decline of Baochang Ji." ”
With the eldest lady here, those people with ulterior motives are afraid that they don't dare to move anymore.
The officers and soldiers of the Jiangzhou Mansion suppressed the bandits of Jinyinshan, which made many people happy, after all, the bandits of Jinyinshan were too rampant, and many passers-by were robbed of their money, and they were only so arrogant because of the protection of Luzhou Mansion.
Shi Dapeng is dead, and many other minions don't know about it.
Ji Yanning has been a lot more comfortable in the past few days, and the old lady will occasionally make noise, but every time she returns in vain.
The old lady let people spread the remarks that Ji Yanning had killed her parents, and she was not filial to her grandmother and disrespectful to her uncle and aunt, so she said it when she saw people.
Unexpectedly, others didn't believe these remarks, Ji Yanning, as the owner of Baochangji, donated 50,000 taels of silver to the government, most of which was used on the people, building roads and bridges, giving porridge and expanding the school, and was praised by Lord Cen, and the people also said that she was good-hearted.
The old lady was so angry that she was sick for a few more days.
Pearl Sai's face was quickly cured, and when she arrived at Ji Mansion, she became Ji Yanning's maid, Ying'er was smart, and soon learned the rules of the mansion, and waited closely by Ji Yanning's side.
"It's really unfair, why did Ying'er and Pearl become the first-class maids next to the eldest lady as soon as they came!"
She has also been in the Ji Mansion for two years, and now she is a second-class maid in the big house, originally thinking that there are only two first-class maids around the young lady, Ziyu and Zisu, and after a while, when the eldest lady picks someone, she can still have some opportunities, where did she think that hope would be disillusioned before it began.
Another maid said: "Eh, the eldest lady has always been willful, if the lady is still here, it would be good not to choose two people who have not even learned the rules to serve the young lady closely." ”
"Those two look like they have maids, I really don't know why the eldest lady chose them!"
"Don't complain, now the matter is a foregone conclusion, the person chosen by the eldest lady herself. ”
"I'm just not reconciled. ”
While they were chatting, Pearl walked in from outside, carrying a lot of medicinal herbs from Bao'an Hall.
Ji Yanning said that she was in charge of things in the pharmacy, and she wanted to follow Ji Yanning to learn medicine and poison, so she was naturally overjoyed.
The two maids, who were still talking just now, saw Pearl walking in, and immediately shut up, but their faces were depressed.
"Pearl Maiden. ”
As soon as Pearl was about to step into the pharmacy, she was called by one of the maids, who couldn't help it.
Pearl looked back at them, "What's the matter?"
The maid stepped forward and said, "I really envy the pearl girl, you can serve by the eldest lady's side." ”
Pearl felt the hostility in the girl's words and frowned slightly, but she had only just come to the Ji Mansion not long ago, so if she could, she wouldn't cause trouble.
She said: "What is there to envy, it is all for the eldest lady." ”
"Of course, it's enviable, you were a first-class maid when you first came, which shows that Miss trusts you very much. The maid laughed.
Pearl didn't want to say more to her, so she wanted to turn around and leave, but she didn't expect the maid behind her to snatch the medicinal herbs in her hand and look at her defiantly.
"What do you mean by that?" Pearl's face sank.
The two maids stepped forward, looked at her, and said in disgust, "What kind of eyes are you! But you are a newcomer, and you don't take us seriously?" If you let the eldest lady know that you have not done what she has ordered, I wonder if she will continue to trust?"
Pearl narrowed her eyes slightly: "What do you want to do?"
The two maids looked at each other, sneered, shook the medicinal herb bag in front of Pearl, and took it back just when Pearl wanted to reach out and grab it.
Then he threw the herbs into a wooden barrel filled with water and soaked them......
Pearl's eyes widened, and she pushed them away to get the herbs up, but they pushed them to the ground.
"Aren't you afraid I'll tell the eldest lady?" Pearl glared at them through gritted teeth.
"Heh, we've been in the house for a few years. "Do you think she'll believe you as a newcomer, or if she'll believe you slandered us both?"
Pearl was just about to say something, but suddenly someone next to her suddenly said: "Miss is naturally a first-class maid who believes in her." ”
The two second-class maids turned their heads and saw the warbler at the door.
Ying'er stepped forward and helped Pearl up.
She turned her head to look at the two maids and said, "If the young lady believes in you, why won't she let you be first-class maids?"
"You ......"
Ying'er stabbed them in the sore spot, and the two maids were blocked for a while and had nothing to say, so they glanced at Ying'er hatefully, raised their hands and hit Ying'er in the face.
It's just that before the slap fell, Ying'er directly held her wrist, and her backhand was a loud slap.
