After lunch, Mrs. Yu asked Chujian to go back to the Chumei Garden to pack up some clothes and daily things to prepare to go to the Zhongwang Mansion with Qi Yin.

After everyone in the room went out, Madame Yu put away the soft smile on her face and sighed at Qi Yin.

"What do you want to do?" Qi Yin asked in a low voice.

Mrs. Yu smiled, "After so many years, only you can see your sister's thoughts." ”

"Hey, my father often says that I am the most similar to you, I think it's not without reason, although you are kind and soft-hearted, but you are not weak, how do you want to fight back?" Qi Yin knew that the reason why Jiao'er kept him down to eat was naturally not as simple as just trying her craftsmanship.

"Originally, I thought I could handle it, but I was worried about the first time, but now that there is the Zhongwang Mansion, I am much more relieved, brother, how is your relationship with the city lord of Palmetto City?" Mrs. Yu thought about it and considered whether to tell her brother about the plan in her heart.

"The relationship between the eldest brother and Shangguan Hui, the city lord of Palmetto City, is not bad, what's wrong?" Qi Yin raised his eyebrows, why did he suddenly mention Shangguan Hui.

"Shangguan Hui once saved Yuyunsheng five years ago, I heard that Mrs. Shangguan came to Ningcheng, was invited to come, made a special trip to participate in the flower award, and Mrs. Shangguan has not been born, Shangguan family has always wanted to marry a few more concubines for Shangguan Hui, but Mrs. Shangguan is jealous, this matter is over, the purpose of Mrs. Shangguan's flower appreciation is ...... Brother, do you understand? The corners of Mrs. Yu's eyes were slightly raised, and she looked at Qi Yin and smiled faintly.

Qi Yin raised his lips and smiled, "It's to find a concubine for Shangguan Hui, but what does this have to do with the Yu family?" ”

"Shangguan Hui has a great favor to Yuyunsheng, and Chen Zhenhui also knows, Yuyunsheng will go to Palmetto City in a few days, I think, Mrs. Shangguan will probably propose marriage to Yuyunsheng." Madame Jade lowered her eyelashes, and there was a sharp light under her eyes.

Qi Yin's eyes narrowed half-widely, and his expression became serious, "What does Jiao'er mean, I am afraid that Mrs. Shangguan will see ...... for the first time."

"If the first time I saw it, it was the granddaughter of Zhongwangfu, and Mrs. Shangguan didn't dare to be a concubine when I first saw it, it was Chen Zhenhui...... She also didn't want her daughter to be a concubine, but Yu Yunsheng hated the fact that she saw her for the first time, and I was also just in case. "She demands complete certainty in everything.

"Don't worry, don't worry, you can take care of this matter, wait for the Shangguan lady to really propose, let's see how Yu Yunsheng will deal with it, this time I will take the first meeting back, I believe that my father will like her, when the time comes, who would dare to ask the granddaughter of the dignified and loyal prince to be a concubine." Qi Yin patted his chest and promised.

Madame Yu said with a smile, "Don't tell Chumi about this for the time being, I'm afraid she will be cranky." ”

"Understand, Er, what are you going to do?" Qi Yin frowned, he didn't believe that Jiao'er would do nothing, waiting for Chen Zhenhui to continue to be arrogant and proud.

"I ......" Mrs. Yu stood up, her eyes flashed slightly, and she looked out of the window lightly, "I want Chen Zhenhui to know that a concubine is a concubine, no matter how smart and peerless the daughter she gave birth to, how scheming and vicious she is, she is just a daughter born to a concubine, I only have the first time I see it, and they dare to hurt the first time, what else can I not do?" ”

"Hey, so you have to go to the Zhongwang Mansion for the first time so that you can concentrate on dealing with them?" Qi Yin stood behind Madame Yu and looked at her with a frown.

"I was relieved to have your protection for the first time." Madame Jade smiled softly.

"But, no matter what you do, remember to protect yourself first." Qi Yin said.

"Brother, don't worry, I have my own measure, it's not too early, you go back to the Zhongwang Mansion with Chujian first." Madame Yu gave Qi Yin a reassuring smile, and then walked out of the house, Qi Yin sighed softly, followed Madame Yu, and walked out of Xiuhe Courtyard.

Hatsumi had already packed up a few long clothes and put them in a small box, and Guixiang and Yan Hong carried them together.

"Mother, if you feel bored these days, let Liniang call her daughter back, and come back to accompany you when you see you for the first time." The first time I saw holding Mrs. Jade's hand, she was a little reluctant, since she came to this world, she has never been away from Mrs. Jade for more than a day, all along, she has been used to relying on Mrs. Jade for everything, it seems that she is far from the modern ** strong self.

"When you arrive at the Zhongwang Mansion, you must pay attention to the rules, think about everything before acting, and if you encounter something you don't understand, ask your uncle, do you know?" Madame Yu smiled slightly, stroked the sideburns she saw for the first time, and explained softly.

"Got it, Mother." Nodding obediently at first sight, she suddenly remembered her mother, when her mother passed away, she didn't seem to feel much reluctance and sadness, but just numbly accepted the facts, and now looking at Mrs. Yu, I don't know when it started, she has really regarded Mrs. Yu as her mother, and her soul seems to be tied with a woman, not just a physical blood relationship.

Sending Chujian into the carriage, Madame Yu gave Qi Yin a look of request, Qi Yin smiled, nodded his head, and jumped into the carriage, "Jiao'er, go back, there will be nothing wrong with Chujian in Zhongwang's Mansion." ”

Madame Jade smiled softly, "Be careful." ”

"Yes, coachman, get on." Qi Yin and Madam Yu waved, and the carriage slowly turned.

Looking at the carriage that was moving away, the gentle smile on Mrs. Yu's face slowly retracted, and she looked at the back of the carriage expressionlessly, her eyes flowing with a cold light.

"Madam, the second girl now has the protection of the Zhongwang Mansion, you can rest assured." Li Niang whispered behind Lady Jade.

Madam Yu smiled coldly, glanced at Guixiang and Yan Hong, who were still on the side, and said softly, "Yan Hong, where is Qiu Yu?" ”

"Mrs. Hui, Qiu Yu is in the warm garden." Yan Hong replied with a low voice.

"Go get her, I'm going to see her." After Mrs. Yu finished speaking, she turned around and walked into the Jade Mansion and walked directly to Xiuhe Courtyard.

Yan Hong was stunned for a moment, glanced at Guixiang, and hurriedly lifted her skirt and followed.

"Madam, did you ask Qiu Yu to see you in Xiuhe Courtyard?" Yan Hong asked with some uncertainty.

Madame Jade nodded.

Mrs. Yu and Li Niang returned to Xiuhe Courtyard, and not long after, Qiu Yu came.

"Madam" Qiu Yu bent her knees to give Mrs. Yu a salute, her expression was a little nervous, in the morning Manager Jiang found her, saying that she did not need to clean the warm garden in the future, Mrs. had other things to arrange for her, she was uneasy in her heart, and she was a little reluctant, the warm meeting was where Cui Gong once lived, and she asked to clean the warm garden, also in order to be able to recall Cui Gong's figure more.

"Get up, Qiuyu, come and sit down." Mrs. Yu smiled softly at Qiu Yu, patted the position next to her, asked Qiu Yu to come and sit down, and then gave Li Niang a look.

Li Niang nodded slightly to Mrs. Yu, lifted the bamboo curtain, called out several little girls in the outhouse, and closed the door before she walked into the inner room and stood behind Mrs. Yu.

Qiu Yu's eyes widened, and she wondered if she had heard it wrong, so she didn't dare to take a step forward.

Madame Jade smiled brightly, as gorgeous as a blooming rose, "Qiuyu, come and sit down." ”

Qiu Yu was stunned for a moment, moved a small step, and then under Mrs. Yu's soft and encouraging eyes, she moved another step, slowly walked to the chair next to Mrs. Yu and sat down, and thanked her in a thin voice, "Thank you, Madame." ”

"Qiuyu, you have been cleaning the warm garden alone for this time, and you have worked hard." Mrs. Yu took Qiu Yu's hand and said softly.

Qiu Yu was startled, and hurriedly said, "No hard work, no hard work, madam, this is what a slave should do." ”

"In the future, let other girls clean up the garden." Madame Jade patted Qiu Yu's hand and said in a low voice.

"Husband...... Madam, please, don't drive Qiu Yu away, if Qiu Yu does something wrong, Qiu Yu will definitely change, madam, don't drive me away. Qiu Yu knelt down with a thud, her eyes wet and red, and tears swirling.

Madam Jade laughed, "Hurry up, no one wants to drive you away." ”

"But...... But ......" Qiuyu didn't dare to get up, still kneeling and crying.

Li Niang helped her up, "Sit down, Madame didn't want to drive you away, silly girl, you didn't do anything wrong, how could Madame drive you away." ”

Qiu Yu sobbed and looked at Mrs. Yu timidly, "That's ...... Does the lady still ask me to clean the garden? ”

Mrs. Yu shook her head and said softly, "I will let others clean the warm garden, and I have other arrangements for you, do you think that if I don't let you clean the warm garden, I just want to drive you away?" ”

Qiu Yu lowered her head and silently didn't dare to say more.

Mrs. Yu continued, "Qiu Yu, I wronged you when I asked you to serve Cui Gong in Nuan Yuan. ”

Qiu Yu shook her head violently, nervously denied, "No grievances, no grievances, the slave maid doesn't feel wronged at all, the slave maid can serve Cui Gong, right...... It is a blessing for slaves and maidservants. After finishing speaking, Qiu Yu's delicate face was dyed red, and she was flushed.

When Mrs. Yu saw it, her smile became even more unfathomable, "But you are still a big girl, and letting you serve Gong Cui alone will damage your reputation." ”

"The slave has already decided not to marry for life, so how can it ...... How can you care about this. "One of her hearts has long been left behind in the man who was born elegant and gentle like water, and in this life, she will never marry someone else.

Madam Yu let out a long laugh, "Are you not interested in Cui Gong at all?" ”

Qiu Yu raised her head suddenly, her cheeks flushed, and she looked at Madame Yu shyly.

"Tell Madame, do you like Cui Gong?" Madame Jade asked softly.

Qiu Yu lowered her head and bit her lower lip silently.

"If you don't speak, then I'll take you by default." Madame Yu and Li Niang glanced at each other and laughed.

"Madame...... Slave maid, slave maid dare not climb Cui Gong. "When Cui Yin was not the champion, she already felt that she was not worthy of him, he was so beautiful, looking at him from afar, she was already satisfied, not to mention that now that he is the champion, she didn't even have a chance to look at him.

"Madame is the master for you, let you go to the Zhuangyuan Mansion to serve Duke Cui, are you willing?" Lady Jade asked.

Qiu Yu raised her head, her eyes were bright and surprised, as if she couldn't believe it, "Madame......"

"Cui Gong is not young, it's time to need someone to serve in the house, you have been taking care of him, and you know some of his habits, so I want to let you serve him in the past, if you don't want to, then forget it." Mrs. Yu frowned lightly and said with some embarrassment.

"Slave maid...... It's up to the lady to decide. Qiu Yu lowered her head and replied in a low voice, but she secretly rejoiced in her heart.

"Very good, go down first." Madame Yu raised her lips and smiled, and asked Qiu Yu to go back to the summer garden to rest first.

After Qiu Yu left, Mrs. Yu smiled coldly, "Li Niang, let someone send an invitation to Cui Gong, invite him to come to Yufu when he is free, we will have a good banquet for him." ”

When Li Niang heard this, she responded with a smile, and asked, "Do you want to invite the eldest girl with you then?" ”

"That's what you want."
