Chapter 18: Accountability when you return home
At dawn, the housekeeper had already instructed his subordinates to clean up the entire Zen Heart Courtyard.
In the huge courtyard, not even a single dead leaf on the ground can be seen.
Liu Rumei changed her laziness and got up early to dress up. Mrs. was dizzy by Peilin's girl and was bedridden, but this was a good opportunity for her to behave in front of the old lady. When she came over, she was much more relieved to see that everything was ready.
"The housekeeper is really dedicated, and I don't expect it to be meticulous." Liu Rumei was very happy: "You can't be sloppy at lunch, the old lady likes soft and light food the most." If you can please her old man, your good is indispensable. ”
"Don't worry, Mrs., the slave has written it down." The butler said with a smile on his face: "Just look at it." ”
The two of them were talking and walking out, Liu Rumei suddenly raised her eyes, and her body trembled in surprise. "Mother...... Mother, why are you back? ”
Mrs. Gan was tall and tall, her eyes were cold, obviously dissatisfied with her questioning. "Shouldn't I come back?"
Liu Rumei shook her head again and again, and stepped forward to salute: "The concubine didn't mean this, but I got the letter that my mother would return before noon, and the concubine was telling the housekeeper to prepare lunch for my mother." ”
Mrs. Gan frowned slightly, and her tone was flat: "Do you think I'm coming back early?" ”
"The concubine doesn't dare to ......" Liu Rumei's heart was pounding violently, and she couldn't say whether she was angry or afraid. I always felt that this old lady was too difficult to serve. Even if she gave birth to a son, she was the most favored concubine in the house, and she still didn't have a good face in front of this barbaric old lady. "Mother went all the way home, the boat was tired, I must be tired, it is better to go to the concubine to prepare breakfast......"
"Knowing I'm tired, why don't you hurry up? It's not an eyesore here. Mrs. Gan interrupted her, and walked into the courtyard gate with Zhuyu and Juruo's hands. I didn't want to look at her again.
"Yes." Liu Rumei had a feeling that her hot face was sticking to the cold, and she couldn't get off the stage in a daze.
"The servant will go and prepare breakfast for the old lady." The housekeeper stepped back with interest, so as not to see more discomfort from the sixth aunt and wife. It's a pity that this situation, don't think about rewarding money, it's a blessing not to be punished.
Liu Rumei gasped and was about to leave, when she saw Ju Ruo coming over in a hurry, she only asked politely: "Is there anything my mother commands?" ”
Ju Ruo just smiled faintly: "The slave and maid will do it well, and I don't have to worry about the sixth aunt and wife." ”
After that, she swept by like a wisp of wind.
Even the people around the old lady looked down on her, Liu Rumei's heart was trembling, and she said to Xiangping who followed behind: "Let's go pick up the star tower." ”
Who knew that halfway through, Gan Peilin and Crispy Core were coming over with Ju Ruo.
Liu Rumei wanted to say something, but she couldn't speak, so she could only remind Gan Peilin to be careful with complicated eyes.
"The sixth aunt has already said hello to her grandmother?" Gan Peilin noticed that Liu Rumei's face was not good, so he asked Ju Ruo tentatively.
"Yes." Ju Ruo nodded lightly: "The sixth aunt and Mrs. have cleaned up the Zen Heart Courtyard very neatly, and the old lady is very satisfied." ”
Gan Peilin nodded with a smile and didn't squeak again. This grandmother didn't see it through in her previous life. In her kindness, there is always a kind of awe that makes people unapproachable. It's hard to say why.
When I entered the inner room, the sandalwood that had just been lit had a slight musty smell.
Gan Peilin cleaned up his superfluous expression and saluted Mrs. Gan uprightly: "Peilin visits grandmother." I couldn't serve my grandmother for a long time, and my granddaughter was always worried about it. Now that I see my grandmother in good spirits and radiant, I can feel a little at ease. ”
Mrs. Gan smiled slightly, the wrinkles at the end of her eyes deepened slightly, and she seemed to be kind: "Hurry up." I haven't seen you for a long time, Peilin, you are becoming more and more smart and clever. ”
Gan Peilin smiled lightly: "Grandmother praised it." ”
"It's not a bad compliment." Mrs. Gan was a little uncomfortable with the sandalwood, and frowned: "In the past few days, strange things have happened frequently in the house, such as falling into the water, falling into the water, falling into the fire, and entering the thieves...... Peilin, you are so smart, why don't you think about it for your grandmother, are these things an accident, or is someone deliberately doing it to disturb the peace of the house? ”
