If you ask her what she means, she actually means nothing.
It's just Cuilan who makes her a little confused.
The people who come out of the eldest lady's room will more or less have a sense of superiority and arrogance. I think Cuilan is a first-class maid there, and she shouldn't come over to be her maid so easily.
Even if the eldest lady insists on it, it should be because she is in the Cao camp and her heart is with Han, and she is just helping the eldest lady look after her when she is around.
However, during the time Cuilan came to her side, she didn't seem to have close contact with the eldest lady. Even when she went to see Aunt Zhao privately that day, she actually didn't mention a word to the eldest lady.
But to say that she was truly sincere, her behavior was really strange.
Especially those eyes, which would always inadvertently reveal a shrewdness that made people feel spine-chilling, making her feel that something was strange.
So she would rather let Xia Qiudong go with her than Cuilan.
She had better not take this person who gave her the feeling of "needing to be careful" from the beginning to Prince Ding's Mansion.
"Cuilan, don't misunderstand anything. It's just that you have been with your mother for so many years, and now you are following me all of a sudden. My mother doesn't seem to be used to it. Now she told me that she wants to take you back."
Here." Ning Yujin said with a smile.
It's not that she is making it up, it's just what the eldest lady said.
Originally, the eldest lady asked Cuilan to come here just to keep an eye on her. She kept an eye on her at Quan Ning Bo's Mansion. Later, when she went to Prince Xing's Mansion, she also kept an eye on Ning Yuyan, for fear that she might cause trouble.
But now, she is going to Prince Ding's Mansion. If Cuilan follows her, Bao Buqi will betray the master and expose the eldest lady's affairs.
Judging from Cuilan's experience with the eldest lady for so many years, Bao Buqi knows quite a lot of secrets. Of course the eldest lady can't wait to take him back now.
However, this move by the eldest lady did her a big favor.
Now that she has brought the eldest lady out, if Cuilan still insists on following her, that would be ungrateful. She can justifiably keep her in the uncle's house, and the eldest lady will not treat her again in the future.
So Cuilan's only choice at this moment is to stay obediently and proactively, lest everyone else can't get off stage.
Sure enough, when Cuilan heard Ning Yujin's words, she immediately lowered her head, bowed with a low voice, and said: "Yes."
Ning Yujin stretched out her hand, yawned, and waved her hand: "Then please step aside. Those who want to leave will go back and pack their things. Those who don't want to leave can make arrangements freely in the house, so don't worry too much."
"Yes, I will leave this slave."
All the maids and ladies saluted Ning Yujin and then retreated.
Ning Yujin rubbed her eyebrows, with a trace of fatigue between her eyebrows: "Xiangyue, please wait for me to wash up and go to bed. I seem to be tired today and feel dizzy."
Xiangyue looked at Ning Yujin speechlessly: "You have only gone out twice in total, once to receive the imperial edict and once to eat. How can you be so tired?"
She also wanted to recite Ning Yujin's "glorious deeds" in the past when she was still energetic all day long, but when she thought that she was now Princess Ding, she immediately hid all those words.
When they go to the palace in the future, they will not be as free as when they were in the small courtyard. They should pay more attention to their words and deeds.
Ning Yujin puffed up her cheeks and wanted to be coquettish with Xiangyue. When she looked up, she saw Cuilan, who was the last to exit, looking up at her, and their eyes suddenly collided.
Her eyebrows jumped and she was a little stunned. When she came to her senses, she and Xiangyue were the only ones left in the room.
"Miss, why are you so dazed? Don't you want to wash up and go to bed? Then go upstairs!" Xiangyue stretched out her hand and waved it in front of her eyes, pulling her eyes back.
Ning Yujin looked back at her and smiled faintly: "Okay."
After going upstairs and washing up, Xiangyue left.
Ning Yujin still tied the thin silver thread on the threshold and sprinkled some powder into the incense burner.
"Xiaoba."
She shouted into the air, and a black shadow floated down silently.
"Miss Third." 108 saluted her.
Ning Yujin sat at the table, took a slow sip of water, and asked him: "You should be the only shadow guard around here, right?"
108 nodded: "Three-six and thirty-seven, who are responsible for transporting the third lady to Prince Ding's Mansion, are usually not far away."
"That's good." Ning Yujin narrowed her eyes and said to him, "Give them my two boxes and send them to Prince Ding's Mansion first, and let Mr. Murong keep them for me."
108 immediately frowned and looked at her: "Isn't it going to be there tomorrow? Why do you need to send something over now?"
"Those two boxes are my wealth and life, and there is nothing wrong with them."
Moreover, the death-free gold medal and today's betrothal gift booklet were also among them. To her, those two boxes had extraordinary meanings.
When 108 saw Ning Yujin's serious expression, he immediately stopped asking any more questions and cupped his hands and said, "I'll do it now."
Ning Yujin nodded, watched him go out, then stood up, walked to the bookcase, took out a book and flipped through it.
She said she was sleepy, but it was just a lie. She just wanted to send everyone out.
She needs time to be quiet.
There is a large painting tube placed in front of the bookcase, which was left behind when Ning Yuyan lived there before. She never used it, and it was just for show when she moved here.
There were several scrolls inside. She glanced at it casually, as if she suddenly thought of something, and quickly threw the book to the side. She went over to pick up all the scrolls and put them on the table, and then opened them one by one.
It didn't take much effort to find the painting. A beautiful woman strolled and looked back. Her long skirt was pulled to the floor, her black hair was curled up. When she looked back, her eyes were curved into crescents, and there were shallow dimples between her lips, as if there were waves flowing down.
It was Qi Yue who gave her a gift in return for the favor of half a bun that day.
Now that he is the number one scholar after all, this painting can be changed to another request, but it must be kept well and don't take it away tomorrow.
She wrapped the scroll again and found a box to put it in. For fear of forgetting, she conveniently placed the box next to the bed.
As soon as I finished all this, I heard slight footsteps coming from the stairs, someone was going upstairs.
Is anyone going upstairs at this time?
Ning Yujin raised her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she lay down on the bed calmly and pulled the quilt to cover her body.
The footsteps are getting closer and closer. Although they are very subtle, in such a quiet night, if you listen carefully, you can still hear some clues.
Ning Yujin pricked up her ears and paid attention to the movement, and the footsteps almost stopped abruptly at the door.
"What are you stopping me for?"
"Be careful, there are silver threads on the ground."
Ning Yujin could hear the subtle conversation, but was really surprised.
Two voices?
But obviously, she could only hear one person's footsteps!
