"This is truly funny. There's actually no one here in broad daylight. Is this our Second Young Madam's rule?" Mrs. Deng looked at the clean yard and said to Hong Ying with a smile.
"They probably saw Second Young Madam leaving and went to hide."
"You really do need to properly discipline us. Wouldn't it be a joke if we were to be seen by outsiders?" The Deng family's gaze wandered around the area as they entered with a smile that didn't quite reach their eyes.
A slanted old woman came out, looking flustered and flustered. When she saw the group of Deng family members, she was so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead.
Lady Deng then stopped, "Yo! What was this song about? Blocking a horse in the street? I'm also not that roaming peregrine! "
After saying this, the maidservants laughed along.
The old woman became more and more embarrassed. "Putong!" She kneeled on the ground.
"I didn't even know that Second Madam had come. I didn't pay attention for a while, and then .." "I was neglected."
While he was speaking, his eyes kept looking towards that side of the room.
Madam Deng had grown up in the Duke's Mansion, so she had seen all sorts of unsavory things. Judging from her appearance, she knew that there was definitely something up her sleeve.
He did not speak either, "I am fine with it, since we are family, there is no need to be so fussy. I am not the type of person to cause trouble, but your Second Young Madam will not be home, and you will all be lax. If something happens later, who will take responsibility for it?"
As he spoke, he walked towards the east side of the courtyard.
When the woman saw this, she panicked a little. She wanted to go up and block him, but she didn't dare to.
He was just thinking about his mission, and yet he had to stop it.
With so many people in front of him being brought here by the Deng family, it was impossible for them to play tricks here.
"Since Second Wife is here, before our Second Young Madam comes, this little one will have someone send a message to you. Second Wife, why don't you take a seat at the front of our house for a while? With some refreshments, or maybe it's unknown when our second young mistress will be able to return. Go back first, our second young mistress is here, and we'll send a letter to you? "
Mrs. Deng did not stop, but sneered, "Then I won't bother you. Mom, you should go and get the Awakening Wine first! "Although I didn't drink much, I can still smell the foul air when I get close to my master. It's a great disrespect."
His words made the woman's blushing face turn into a red shrimp. It was the same as usual. When this happened, everyone went out to drink a little. Who knew that today, Second Wife would come over?
Those little hooligans were afraid of getting into trouble. They took advantage of his drunkenness to coax him out, and each and every one of them shrunk their heads into their shells.
While she was speaking, Madam Deng had already reached the door of the small room and was about to go up the steps.
The old woman became anxious and could no longer hold back her embarrassment. "Second Madam!"
"How dare you!" When Hong Ying heard this, she immediately glared at him. "Second Madam, what are you arguing about? It's only two steps away, yet you're making such a ruckus. Are you trying to scare the second wife? "
Mrs. Deng turned to look at her, sneered, and then reached out to push at the door. Unexpectedly, she didn't push it open.
"Hong Ying, I think there's something strange here. I'm afraid there's some kind of thief hiding here. All of you, shove it away!"
Just as Chu Yuehua was painting her clothes, Lin Ruo ran over stealthily. Seeing that there was no one around, she excitedly approached.
Putting away the things in her hands and handing them over to Zhiruo, Chu Yuehua laughed. "If you have any great news to say, quickly say it. Don't keep us in suspense."
"How did you know?" Rinloran blinked and asked her.
Zhiruo laughed and said, "If you have any good fortune and you smile on your face, it'll be hard to not know."
"Who said that? I'm laughing like that to everyone else. Everyone thinks that I look good laughing at this moment!" Ling Ruo seemed unconvinced.
Chu Yuehua nodded seriously in agreement, "That's right. When she smiles, the whole world thinks of her as a good person."
"I'm a good person to begin with!" After muttering for a bit, Ling Ruo came over, "Ai!" "Ignoring that, does lady know what news I have heard?"
Looking at her face and sizing it up for a moment, Chu Yuehua asked, "Second Young Madam, did something happen?"
Ling Ruo's eyes were bright, as though she had discovered tens of thousands of silver taels. "Lady's foresight is indeed amazing. This morning, Second Wife found Xue Yan and is about to go see Second Young Madam.
However, Second Young Madam is usually not at home at this time of the year, so .. "
"He really bumped into it?" Zhiruo asked in surprise while listening from the side.
Ling Ruo blinked her eyes, and laughed out loud: "Can we not run into each other? "They're all doing well."
"Miss, how did you get them to catch up?" Zhiruo didn't know Chu Yuehua's plan, so she was quite surprised to hear her tone.
"You can ask Rinloran about this, she's the one who pulled the strings. I just made some pine nut cakes and some sugar."
The more carefree she acted, the more Zhiruo became curious. Ever since she went to the manor, she felt that the lady she served seemed to be slightly different from the others.
There were many things that he thought would never happen, but when he gave her the task, it actually worked.
"I didn't do anything?" Seeing Zhiruo's curious look, Ling Ruo's self-confidence was completely satisfied. "Just that, when Second Madam was walking along the road, she heard a little girl say that Second Grandma had more eyes and ears under the big kitchen, and that it was Second Grandma's world after all."
The second wife had the heart to find trouble under the kitchen, so she happened to see the snow swallow squatting there and found an excuse to head towards the second grandmother's house.
I actually didn't do anything! I just played with a few girls. "
Zhiruo wasn't a stupid person. She kept saying that it had nothing to do with her, but in reality, it was only because she was shuttling back and forth in the middle that there were so many coincidences.
More importantly, these shuttles were all ordered by the young lady in front of him.
Was this a reward for the previous match?
With this thought in mind, Zhiruo grew more solemn.
"Yue Er!" Something has happened! " Chu Xuohua walked in hastily with a worried expression.
"What's wrong?" Getting off the bed, Chu Yuehua quickly went to greet him, "What happened?"
"Second Madam went to find Second Young Madam for some matters in the kitchen. Second Young Madam wasn't at home, but let her meet Second Brother and Qingying!"
