Chapter 10 Retreat

He Yue looked obviously jealous, which made Xie Lingyu chuckle.

"Of course I believe in He Yue."

"He Yue, how many years have you been following me?"

Xie Lingyu picked up the tea and took a sip, the mellow and sweet aroma of tea spread to her lips and teeth.

This is the famous good tea in Jiangnan, one ounce of gold and one ounce of tea.

The Holy Emperor rewarded the Xie family with many gifts, but her father and elder brother didn't like the taste, so they gave them all to her.

Xie Lingyu didn't like this kind of taste in his previous life, preferring slightly bitter tea. He felt that it was more refreshing and mind-blowing, worthy of the word "tasting tea".

But in her next life, she wouldn't want to suffer at all.

She also understood why her cousin in the family had to buy a bunch of chestnut cakes every time before her husband took an exam.

Sweets can indeed bring a little joy to people's hearts for no reason and relieve their depression.

"He Yue was bought into a house by the housekeeper when he was five years old. When he was looking for a maid, you chose me at a glance, and the old lady pointed me out to you. It has been 13 years now."

"You are also old enough to get married, but I have delayed you for a few years. Do you have someone you like? I have prepared a generous dowry for you. I have prepared gold, silver, jewelry, houses and shops for you. It is enough. Live a prosperous life.”

He Yue knelt down with a plop.

Her fair face was full of panic, her almond-shaped eyes were wide open, and she looked at her helplessly, "But Heyue made Madam angry, why did Madam drive me away..."

"Madam, He Yue doesn't want to get married. He Yue just wants to serve Madam all her life."

"Ugh--"

Xie Lingyu sighed softly.

Heyue is different from Taoyue. Taoyue was born into the family, while Heyue was sold by her parents.

Her parents should have left Shengjing with their son a long time ago, and no one can be found.

She has no parents to ask for grace, and she is not yet 25 years old. The only way to leave home is to get married.

In her previous life, He Yue didn't even live to be 25 years old.

Xie Lingyu wanted to prepare an escape route for the maids around him early.

Although she was already on guard against Xie Ning and Xu Yinghuai once again, she was in the open and her opponent was in the dark. Those people were dirty and hard to guard against.

If Xie Ning was not her true concubine, then she would have to have an opponent on par with the Xie family behind her to cover her up for so long.

This time she has to take the initiative and cannot sit back and wait for death. Then there will be dangers all around her, and one careless move will cause her to lose everything.

Her life could be lost at any time.

In order to take revenge, she had no complaints.

But He Yue and others have already suffered once with her, and they should have a better life.

"I don't want to drive you away, but I want you to find a husband as soon as possible. My mother-in-law gave me your birth certificate before I got married. It is under the dressing room. When you get married, I will cancel your slave status. From now on, you can have a small family and live a stable life, isn't it good?"

"Not good, not good."

Heyue sobbed, her eyes crossing her cheeks and falling to the ground.

She shook her head, "He Yue has no home a long time ago. It was the young lady who gave this slave a home and a name for He Yue. From the moment the young lady named the young lady, the young lady swore to follow and serve the young lady for the rest of her life."

She was so panicked that she even changed the title to 'Miss', which she was most familiar with, instead of Madam.

Xie Lingyu had no choice but to get off the couch, bend down, and wipe away He Yue's tears.

He Yue's eyes were already red and swollen from crying, and she was looking at her with reluctance.

Xie Lingyu could see it clearly.

I also understand that she really doesn’t want to leave.

Either way.

If she couldn't even protect the maid beside her, she wouldn't be worthy of talking about revenge.

"Okay, don't cry anymore. If you don't want to leave, just keep it. In fact, I don't want to let you go either."

"Okay." He Yue cried with joy.

"Let other maids take care of you tonight. You go back to the house and rest first." He Yue was about to say that she could do it.

Xie Lingyu stroked her hair and continued: "Tomorrow we have to discuss the enlightenment of the three children, but we can't just go to the small kitchen and cook two chickens with our eyes swollen."

Heyue knew that Madam would have to fight a tough battle tomorrow, so she hurriedly agreed.

She is the maid next to the madam, and her image represents the face of the madam, so there must be no mistakes.

……

Day two.

Taoyue yawned early and came to Xie Lingyu's door, ready to help his wife wash herself.

From a distance, she saw Heyue already standing by the door.

"Well, Heyue, you're here so early. You don't want to please my wife behind my back, do you?"

Tao Yue took two quick steps and slapped He Yue on the shoulder lightly.

The next second, she asked in surprise: "Did you cry last night? Were you scolded by Madam? You shouldn't, Madam is so gentle."

"Is it possible that you miss your parents? They have abandoned you, what else do you want from them! Didn't you already tell me that you will treat my parents as your parents from now on? My mother even asked me to find a time to ask you to come back together. When we have dinner at home, she misses you so much that she talks about you all she talks about."

He Yue touched her face, "I rolled it with eggs last night. Is it still swollen?"

Taoyue sneered, "It's not obvious, but we have grown up together. We have slept together for so long. I can even see the missing eyelashes on your face. You can't hide this from me. Please tell me, what's going on? Why?"

He Yue briefly talked about what happened last night.

Although Taoyue is not as scheming as Heyue, she is still a smart girl.

After some thought, the two looked at each other and understood what the other was thinking.

"Madam has farsightedness, I'm afraid that the Marquis Mansion is really unsafe."

The two of them were still about to discuss it when they heard movement from inside the house and immediately opened the door and went in to serve.

The little maid who kept watch yesterday was dozing off on the soft couch.

He Yue woke her up and asked her to go back to the house to rest.

Xie Lingyu is sitting in front of the bronze mirror. Tao Yue is skillful and good at combing all kinds of buns. Today's bun is the Yunhuan bun, just waiting for the hairpins to be inserted.

"Master Xu and Master Qi are already waiting at Luohua Hall, and Mrs. Hou is also on her way there."

Xie Lingyu hummed.

The previous adoption was a big deal, and the Song family originally planned to enter the twins into the family tree directly, so they discussed the matter in the main hall.

Generally, if it is not a particularly important matter, the government will discuss it in the Luohua Hall.

Enlightenment is important, but it is not a particularly big deal.

Xie Lingyu sat calmly, applying powder and vermilion on Taoyue, and carefully applying lipstick.

I picked a plum blossom-style hairpin, looked in the mirror, and slowly inserted it.

As soon as they reached Luohua Hall, a figure rushed out.

Taoyue's quick eyes and hands quickly stopped the person before he could rush into Xie Lingyu's arms.

When Xu Jiaqi was stopped, he twisted around, pouting and acting coquettishly: "Sister, why are you stopping me? I want my mother to hug me."

He only wanted to throw himself into Xie Lingyu's arms.

Mrs. Song also walked out with a smile, her eyes full of cunning: "It seems that this kid really likes you, Yu'er."

Regardless of whether Xie Lingyu accepts Brother Qi now or not, when Huai'er comes back, Brother Qi will be the legitimate son of the second wife.

The more you act coquettishly with Xie Lingyu now, the more help you can get in the future if she likes it.

Her precious grandson is also smart.

One point.

Mrs. Song hurriedly waved Taoyue away.

"What are you doing here, maid? Go away."
