Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

The chopsticks fell to the ground. The sound was not loud, but it was very abrupt.

The three of them all turned around. The one who looked down at his chopsticks looked at his chopsticks, and the one who looked up at Bai Xue looked at Bai Xue. Their expressions were a little inexplicable, a little strange, and a little... as if they had just realized that there was a fourth person in the room. While Bai Xue apologized profusely, she hurriedly bent down to pick up the chopsticks, but her outstretched fingertips trembled slightly - was her reputation already ruined...? Is this a clear warning to myself that it is useless no matter how big the issue is?
From a distance, he looks like a noble person with a good temper. He doesn't talk much. I didn't expect him to be such a ruthless person... ruthless to others and ruthless to himself.

She bit her lip tightly, the only way to avoid losing her composure. Pian Ziqiu was a person who was afraid of chaos in the world, but he was still making noises from the sidelines, "It is true that he doesn't understand the rules, and he can do such trivial things as clearing the dishes and chopsticks." No, let’s do this. You go to the small kitchen first, and I will make other arrangements in a few days. Girl, what do you think? "

Zhi Ziqiu was deliberately making things difficult, and Ji Wuyan also cooperated, "You can make arrangements. It's just that she's new here, so you still have to worry about giving some advice." Anyway, he didn't want to see this person with ulterior motives hanging around in front of him. , just arrange for someone to keep an eye on it later.

Ziqiu nodded in agreement and waved his hand, "After you have packed up, hurry up and get down. Both girls don't like the maids to come close to you. From now on, don't walk around in this yard if you have nothing to do. Do you know that?" The little girl was well-mannered and bossy. She hummed after speaking, as if she was the master of the house.

Shen Luoxin held her chin up and smiled, thinking about how Bai Xue's anxious move had really gone astray. She also didn't think about it. If the masters of the Ji family were all easy to manipulate by her, how would her master take such pains to arrange for her to come in?
Bai Xue bit her lip and endured Ziqiu's sarcasm while apologizing again and again. After Ji Wuyan waved her hand to let her leave, she hurriedly carried the tray and went out. When she went out, she almost bumped into the child who came in. Fortunately, the child stopped in time. The other person looked up at her with an innocent look on her face and asked Ji Wuyan, "Girl, who is this sister? She looks like... she is about to cry."

Bai Xue was startled because of her childish words, and she felt that she really wanted to cry at this moment. She hurriedly bowed her knees and saluted, then ran away as if running away. When she reached the corner, she suddenly stopped. She... I want to hear how these people arranged her behind the scenes. They probably said that she was shameless, that the sparrow wanted to fly on the branch and become a phoenix, or that the toad wanted to eat the flesh of the swan.

Who is this sister? Ziqiu snorted coldly, "Huh... Is she worthy of being called sister? She doesn't want to be your sister either. He wants to be you..." Sister-in-law.

Ziqiu didn't have time to say the last words, but swallowed them back - Miss Ji glanced at her, her eyes filled with warning, which was strange. Ziqiu, who was still bossing around Bai Xue just now, suddenly stopped and stuck out his tongue as if begging for mercy.

Pianjifeng was very curious and asked her reluctantly, "What does that sister want to be mine?"

Ji Wuyan glanced at Ziqiu again, and then waved to Jifeng, "Come here...your sister Ziqiu is joking with you. That's sister Bai Xue. She will work in our courtyard from now on, and she is currently in the small kitchen. If Jifeng wants to eat in the past few days, he can go to Sister Bai Xue and see how her cooking skills are. If it’s not delicious, we’ll find another job for her.”

"Okay." The child agreed with a sweet voice, and then took Ji Wuyan's hand and slowly shook it, asking, "Mother Wang said that there will be heavy snow here in the winter, which is worse than in Yunzhou. The snow is much heavier. You can build snowmen and have snowball fights. It’s so much fun! Girl, is what Grandma Wang said true?”

"Well, really."

...Bai Xue couldn't bear to listen to the rest of the words. She carried the tray and walked towards the kitchen with her head hanging down.

She was prepared to be scolded, but she didn't expect to hear such an... almost warm answer.

She is a regular customer of Mrs. Ya's place, and she will be sold out by her "owner" every now and then. Even Mrs. Ya has a headache talking about her. She seems to be sensible, understands the rules, is quick at work, and is not particularly good-looking. The little girl is supposed to be the most suitable to buy home as a maid. She knows how to do things and is worry-free. Why does she keep offending her master as if she is having a bad year? The kind-hearted old lady even warned her gently, asking her to go to the temple to burn incense when she had time, or to see the goddess to see if she had offended the little ghosts.

She always responded one by one and thanked the other party for their concern one by one. When she turned around, she was helpless. There was no imp. It was just that the task assigned by the real master had been completed. She needed to wait for the next task to start in the hands of Mrs. Ya. .

Ji Wuyan is one of these tasks.

This time, under the pseudonym Bai Xue, she came in according to her master's instructions to investigate Ji Wuyan's true identity, the truth behind the strange phenomena at night in Ji's family, and everything going on in Fengchen Juli.

The maids in charge of laundry have many opportunities to contact the servants of various courtyards, so they are the most suitable place to inquire about information. Besides, it seems more natural to chat while doing laundry, right? She already knew this well.

I thought that in less than a month, I would be able to complete this seemingly simple task, and then make some mistakes and be betrayed again, waiting for the next task.

Who knows that this Ji family is actually a little different - the old people pretend to be confused and don't know anything, and the new people really don't know anything or they just don't know anything. Seeing time passing by, they don't know any news. When she couldn't get it, the master started to lose patience and even said harsh words. At this time, she was transferred to Shen Luoxin.

The owner felt that this was an opportunity. She felt the same way at that time... at least it was enough to give her a chance to breathe and buffer.

But gradually, she began to be jealous. Shen Luoxin was treated like this, why couldn't she?
Who is Shen Luoxin? Everyone in Yanjing City knows that she has a widowed mother who is unclean. The people in the Ji family say that Miss Shen is very good, has a good temper, and has no airs. Whenever they have a headache, Miss Shen will always take care of it personally. Don't use your hands on others... Bai Xue actually disdains this.

The daughter of a widower is looked down upon by others, so what qualifications does Shen Luoxin have to put on airs? Besides, her medical skills may have been taught by her widowed mother. How dare these people let Shen Luoxin treat them? I don’t know whether people regard you as a living person or as a dead person being treated, so they keep praising you...
