The Chen family reciprocated, specially selected the newly bought maid to send it to her, and invited the mother Qiao, who was once in charge of Pinmei Xuan, back to the house.

Qiao's mother is over fifty years old, and she was originally serving Bai Yu in Pinmei Xuan. After Bai Yu passed away, she naturally served Bai Jinghao, and she was brought up single-handedly.

When Bai Jinghao was moved to the small courtyard, Qin Rou wanted to send her to the village on the grounds of negligence, and the old lady remembered that she had been working in the house for decades without merit and work, so she let go of the deed of sale and allowed her to return to her hometown.

When the people sent by the second lady looked for her, she returned to Baifu without saying a word.

Bai Jinghao burst into tears and hugged her tightly.

Mother Joe knew that it was not easy for her, and patted her back to soothe.

I haven't seen each other for a long time, and I can't help but shush and ask for warmth.

Listening to Bai Jinghao's understatement of the experience of the past few years, Qiao's mother wiped her tears and said distressedly: "It's all the old slaves who are useless and can't take care of you for Miss Yu." If it weren't for the young lady's intelligence, I'm afraid she would have folded into the hands of that mother and daughter. ”

"Mom, don't cry, it's a good thing for you to go home, I'm no longer the eldest lady who was bullied before. I can protect myself and I can take care of myself. ”

Mother Qiao was worried when she heard this, and took her hand and sighed: "Miss is right to protect herself, but if she is too prominent, she will inevitably become the target of public criticism." The eldest lady's mother's family is not small, and there is the princess and concubine in the palace to rely on it, and even the old lady respected her for three points in the past, not to mention the master, if you go against her like this, I am afraid that she will force you to death. ”

Bai Jinghao's tone was resolute: "Isn't this already the case now?" Mom, no matter how much I try to beg for everything, they won't let me go, rather than endure and live, it's better to give it a go. ”

Mother Qiao looked at the red mark on her neck, nodded and said, "Since Miss has decided, it's okay." ”

At this time, Er Kite entered the house, "Miss, Aunt Lian asks to see you." ”

Bai Jing thought about it, shook her head and replied, "Let's just say that I just fell asleep after taking the medicine, please ask my aunt to go back." ”

"Yes."

Qiao's mother was puzzled: "Aunt Lian must be worried about you, why can't you see you?" ”

"I know that if she comes, she must be extremely worried about me, and I will not feel at ease if I don't see it with my own eyes. It's just that I'm Miss Fuzhong and I'm still having such a hard time, Aunt Lian is not favored, and the second brother deliberately alienated her in order to protect her, so that there can be peace all these years. Now the timing is not right, although the eldest lady has lost the right to feed, it is still easy to take care of her. ”

"The young lady and the second young master are inevitably too careful."

Bai Jing smiled bitterly: "There's no way, it's not okay if you're not careful." ”

Er Kite entered the house again, carrying the food box brought by Aunt Lian, and said, "Miss, Aunt Lian said that she made some sugar lotus root osmanthus cake with her own hands and brought it to you to try." If you don't like it, take it down. ”

Bai Jing was silent, and Qiao's mother said, "I want to eat some sweets, you can put it aside." ”

Er Kite said yes, standing by and waiting for the summons.

Qiao's mother spoke again: "You go down, go and see if the maids who have just entered the courtyard have packed up, if they are good, let them go to the flower hall and wait for me." ”

Er Yuan's face was slightly sluggish, as if she was not satisfied with her orders, and looked at Bai Jinghao.

Bai Jing bowed his head.

After she left, Qiao's mother condensed and said, "Miss, this maid is the eldest lady's person after all, and she has harmed you, do you really feel at ease to keep her by her side?" ”

"I know that Er Kite is unreliable, she can be coerced by me to betray the eldest lady that day, and if she is threatened in the future, she may also betray me. She has a lot of thoughts, but I also guard against her, and her family is placed by my second brother. ”

Qiao's mother nodded, "You've thought it through." There is also a warm moon, although it is said that she is from Hanyu Hall, but with her in the courtyard, your every move in this house cannot be hidden from the old lady. ”

Bai Jinghao replied: "Mom, although my father made the decision for me this time, I know that he was only angry because the eldest lady disrespected Bai Mansion's rampant behavior, not out of love for me. My foundation in the house is not stable, although the second lady takes care of me now, it is only because of interests, she is now in power as she wishes, no one can say what will happen to me in the future, I can only rely on the old lady to protect me. ”

"But the old lady didn't like the old lady to love you too much."

"That was once upon a time. She doesn't like me very much, but I'm her granddaughter after all, and I just have to cater to her as much as I want. ”

Qiao's mother turned her back sadly, wiped the corners of her eyes again, stood up and went over to take the snacks in the food box, "Aunt Lian is the best at making sugar lotus root osmanthus cake, and she used to send it quietly, Miss try it." ”

"It's been a long time since I've eaten it." Bai Jinghao reached out and pinched a piece, laughing sweetly.

Qiao's mother looked at it but was even more worried, she knew that this child was bitter.

After a while, Qiao's mother said: "She and I have served your mother in the past, and we are old acquaintances, and I will go to Lifangyuan to see her when I go back, so that my aunt can rest assured." ”

The maid outside came to invite her to the flower hall.

Bai Jing said: "You go and take a look, the two new arrivals have just bought into the house, I use peace of mind for such people, and my mother will adjust them for me. Teach. ”

Qiao's mother nodded, "It's the two little ones in Chunxiaochun, right?" I looked at it thoroughly, taught the rules and arranged to serve under the porch, and then I had the opportunity to enter the inner room again in the future. ”

With her in charge of her affairs, Bai Jing is naturally relieved, "Mom is in charge." ”

Pin Meixuan's side was proud for a while, and the Orchid Garden could be described as gloomy.

Bai Jinyao was so angry that she hid in the boudoir every day and couldn't see anyone, she just woke up and heard that her mother went back to the Hou Mansion to live!

She quietly sent someone to the Hou Mansion to ask her to come back, but she was directly refused, only saying that she would wait for her father to go in person.

"Mother, isn't that a joke? This time is not as good as before, she just lost the right to be a housekeeper, and immediately left the mansion, this is not clear to hand over the entire mansion to the West Mansion, it's too confusing! ”

Bai Jinyao was upset, and sighed in the room: "Pity me for the way I look now, and I have to worry about her affairs!" My father was angry, and I stayed in Aunt Yu's house for the past few days, and with her in front of her, my father would only complain more about my mother's ignorance of the general situation. My mother should have been soft at the time, and I heard that my grandmother also had a lot of complaints, and now she has left without even caring about me, what hope can I have? ”

Hua Sui hurriedly comforted her, but she was clumsy and didn't say anything.

"Tomorrow is the day when Princess Heshun will entertain the lady of a famous family in Beijing, if you really let the second aunt take the third sister to represent the Bai family, what will outsiders think of my mother in the future? No, I'll have to persuade myself. ”

Bai Jinyao instructed: "Hurry up and let the concierge prepare the car, I want to go to Qin's house." ”

When the news of the second lady leaving the mansion and going to the Hou Mansion reached Hanyu Hall, Bai Jinghao was also on the spot, reciting scriptures to the old lady.

When she heard this, she pretended not to see the gloom on her grandmother's face, and said softly and uneasily: "The second sister is not in good health, and the weather is so hot, going out like this is not good for wound healing." ”

The old lady said lightly: "She doesn't care about herself, it's hard for you to think about her." ”
