Chapter 29 Possible concubine in the future

The two women looked at each other and looked at Mrs. Zhou with doubtful eyes.

Mrs. Zhou's eyes were wandering, not knowing what she was planning.

"Huh?" Xia Anan reached out and pressed the bed, "This bed seems to be broken!"

"It's loose!" Mrs. Zhou said, "Old Yan, go find a hammer and help Miss An An repair it!"

One of the women went out and soon found tools to help Xia Anan repair the bed.

He also told her that when she couldn't do the work, she could ask them for help...

…

Xia Anan estimated that they wouldn't be able to tell who was more worthy of fawning over, a possible future concubine or a nanny.

really.

…

At night, Xia Anan lay in bed, unable to sleep.

Her family conditions are quite good.

My father is a road and bridge engineer and runs an engineering company.

My mother is the chief physician of internal medicine in a tertiary hospital.

They loved her very much and protected her very well.

In all her life, she has never suffered such a great injustice.

It's impossible to say I'm not sad.

But more, she was thinking.

She remembered what her father once told her: One person will not embarrass another person for no reason.

If you are in trouble, there must be some kind of conflict of interest.

Even if it doesn't seem to be there on the surface, there must be something there at some point that you are not aware of.

She has conflicts of interest with Xie Caihuan, as well as Huanhuan and Huang Baochuan.

After all, the four of them were all candidates sent to Lu Zhuo as concubines, and the competitive atmosphere flowing overtly and covertly was everywhere.

But, what conflict of interest would there be between her and Mother Li?

Could it be that she also wanted to be Lu Zhuo's wife?

Ugh! She was disgusted by the idea.

…

As soon as they got up the next day, before they had time to have breakfast, Mother Li called the four maids, Mother Wei and other wives over and said that tomorrow was the old lady’s birthday and she would go over to help prepare the banquet. Today, the old lady would go over.

Have breakfast there and then help out for the day.

Xia An'an was about to follow, but Mother Li shouted again: "Xia An'an!"

"Eh? Mother Li." Xia Anan responded.

Mother Li said calmly: "You don't need to go."

Xia Anan: "...oh...yes."

Mother Li: "The rainy season is coming soon! The gutter behind the main house is full of dirt and debris. Go clean it up!"

Xia Anan: "Okay."

Seeing that she had a good attitude, Mrs. Li probably didn't make things difficult for her anymore and left with her.

When Caihuan passed by her, she glanced at Xia Anan.

His eyes were not good, but his face was slightly pale.

Xia Anan went straight to the kitchen.

Only when you are full can you have the strength to work.

However, after going there, I found that the kitchen door was locked and no one was there.

Everyone in the kitchen probably went to the old lady to help...

Fortunately, there was a basket of last year's autumn sweet potatoes taken from the cellar outside.

She washed a big one and ate it. Although it had a stale and musty smell, it was able to fill her stomach.

After eating, she carried the tools and went to the main house.

The main house was also quiet, with the door closed and locked, and no one was there.

As expected, the gutter behind the main house is filled with dirt and dead leaves. If it rains, water will accumulate, soaking into the walls and seeping into the house.

"Huh! Xia An'an, once you come, let's make peace with it! I'm not afraid of difficulties!" Xia An'an exhaled, rolled up her sleeves, and started working.

…

The old lady’s auspicious garden.

Today, everyone in each room has breakfast at the old lady's place.

Lu Zhuo took his leave after finishing his meal.

He is on duty today.

When I went out, I happened to see Mother Li gathering the servants in his courtyard together to distribute the work.
