A maid had already come over to report to Qiao Yuyan, saying that Wen Tingyuan had suffered from cold for the past two days and had to take medicine before coming here.
When Mrs. Wen heard this, she frowned and said, "Why don't you say anything when you are sick? Aren't you prone to cold in this cold weather?"
After saying that, he called a maid whom he trusted very much on weekdays, "Go to Tao Ranxuan and tell them not to worry. It's still early for the dinner! Take good care of you Sixth Master first."
This is just a small episode, Yiranju is still very lively here.
Everyone has been suppressing it for such a long time. Finally, there is an opportunity to be lively and lively, so naturally we are happy.
Even the aunts from each room came over today and opened another table in the side hall.
The aunts were not allowed to participate in the Chinese New Year banquet, so the custom in previous years was that they would be invited to the family banquet on the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month.
This was Qiao Yuning's first time to attend such a banquet. The huge hall was divided into two parts, separated by a screen.
She sat here, looking at this group of warblers and swallows, and her heart turned to her stomach.
It is said that the aunts are specially allowed to sit here, but is this kind of differential treatment really not just to irritate people?
Qiao Yuyan didn't come over there, and Mrs. Wen even asked about it herself. As a group of them sat like this, no one mentioned it.
not to mention……
She looked at the women sitting on her side. Some of them were bought from the shopping mall, some were brought up by the maids, and there were also a few good family members, but they looked timid and downtrodden.
No matter what banquet she had in the past, had she ever sat at the same table with these people?
Today's so-called family dinner was clearly a humiliation to her.
Next to her was a younger aunt who seemed to be in the third master's room. Seeing Qiao Yuning sitting alone and not talking, she pushed the plate of dried fruits in front of her in a flattering manner.
"Is this Aunt Qiao? She doesn't walk around with us much on weekdays, but she's quite unfamiliar."
Qiao Yuyan glanced at the two exaggerated gold bracelets on her wrists and found them very dazzling, so she turned her head away and pretended not to see them.
The woman was a little embarrassed, neither standing nor sitting.
A woman on the other end laughed when she saw this, "Rong Niang, don't ask for trouble. Aunt Qiao is different from the rest of us. She comes from an official background, so it's not easy for us to get close to her."
As she said that, the woman pointed to the other side of the screen, "Does Mrs. Six know? There was such a big fight when she entered the door before. She is Aunt Qiao's biological sister!"
There is a biological sister who is the mistress of the house, how can we compare? Eat your food in peace! Aunt Qiao will not even look down on the things on the table and is unwilling to eat them!"
She was squeezing Zhang Zuoqiao like this, and another enchanting woman beside her, who looked like she was not from a good family, spat coldly, "Bah! What kind of official lady is she from? Is she from an official family like us and can she be an aunt?"
This also opens the eyes of people like me. If you don’t like eating with us, then don’t come!
Mei Xiang worships me, we are all slaves, who is more noble than others? Do you think you are some kind of rich lady? If you serve me, you may not even have my ability."
Qiao Yuning had never encountered such blatant ridicule. She was so angry that she stood up suddenly, her face turned red, and she pointed at them with her finger, but she couldn't say a single unpleasant word.
Her look made other people find the news funny, and they laughed at each other.
"Bizhu!" Qiao Yuning couldn't help but turn to the maid next to her, "Are you dead?"
Bizhu quickly closed her eyes and took a step forward. Before the others could react, they suddenly felt numbness in their wrists.
Suddenly I couldn't hold the snacks and fruits in my hand and fell to the ground.
The side hall here suddenly became a mess. When several aunts saw bruises the size of dragon's eyes suddenly appeared on their wrists, they looked at Qiao Yuning in horror.
Bizhu raised her eyes again and scanned their faces, "Our aunts are not good at talking, so please pay attention when you speak."
I can’t speak, but I can use my hands!
At that moment, an aunt wanted to jump out and scold Bizhu, but Bizhu just picked up a longan and said, "Just now, I saw that the longan on the table is in good quality, so I specially asked all of you to try it on my aunt's behalf."
No one dared to say anything now, and looked at Bizhu standing next to Qiao Yuning as if he had seen a ghost.
Such a humble maid could actually have such abilities.
A small longan was enough to beat their hands like this! And he attacked several of them at the same time.
So, is this Qiao Yuning's strength?
She is the sister of Mrs. Six. Although she and her family have broken up, when she first got married, her family might have prepared something for her, such as such a capable maid.
Because of Bizhu's move, the side hall immediately became quite quiet.
Qiao Yuning could finally have a nice cup of tea.
It's just that she was a little distracted and looked outside frequently.
"Is everything arranged?" Qiao Yuning lowered her voice and asked Bizhu while no one was looking over.
"Don't worry, aunt, the maid named Naier has gone, and Mo Zhu is also there."
Hearing this, Qiao Yuning felt more relieved and looked towards the hall next to her. It was already dark outside before Qiao Yuyan came over.
At this time, Princess Jiahe was running out following the maid in front of her.
She was wearing a piece of clothing that didn't quite fit her body, which was the uniform uniform worn by the third-class maids of the Wen family, and her hair was simply tied up in a bun. In such a dark night, she deliberately walked in the shadows, which was very disturbing.
Can't recognize her.
Seeing that he had walked out of that area of houses, Jiahe finally couldn't help but call out to the maid who suddenly appeared, "Where is he?"
"It's right in front!" The maid turned around, and the fifteenth moon shone brightly on her overly charming face, which seemed a bit unreal. Who else could it be if it wasn't Nair?
Seeing some doubts on Jiahe's face, Naier said anxiously: "I don't know about this. I came out without telling our wife. The master said that as long as I do this for him, I will let you out."
He only said that the Wen family wanted to push him out to die, and only the princess could save him, but slave... slave is just a little maid, and I don't know what's going on here."
She said that she was about to cry, "If I can't go out this time, my wife will find out, and I will have no way to survive!"
Jiahe looked at her and thought for a moment, "What else? What else did he say?"
Nair shook his head anxiously, and suddenly seemed to think of something, "Ah, by the way, he said something about the fifth prince..."
He stopped mid-sentence and seemed to be thinking carefully, "Speaking of what else was in it, slave... I can't remember clearly. The master only told slave that it was very important. Everyone was in Yi'anju today. He tried to find a way to hide it.
Came here with talent."
Jiahe squeezed the note in his hand, gritted his teeth, and said, "Lead the way."
