Chapter 22 The Diligent Maid

Qiu Sang asked Xiang'er to wait outside the door and walked in casually.

"Madame Liu." Qiu Sang called out.

Nanny Liu raised her head and found that it was Qiu Sang, and she knew that Ye Shu had come to Madam Ye.

"But what does the Second Young Lady want you to do?" Even though Ye Shu was married, the servants in the Ye Mansion were still used to calling her the Second Young Lady.

"The second young lady wanted to ask the old lady if she slept well last night. After all, the second young lady was afraid that the old lady didn't want to make the second young lady worry and would not tell the truth."

When this statement was made, no one was confused. After all, Mrs. Ye had always been like this. She loved her children and didn't want to make them worry. Even if she wasn't feeling well, she would say that she was feeling much better.

Before Ye Shu got married, whenever Madam Ye was ill, she would often come to ask Madam Liu in private.

Besides, it was indeed Ye Shu who asked Qiu Sang to ask about this matter.

"Please rest assured, Second Miss, the old lady slept well last night."

"That's good. Miss Second should be relieved now."

Qiu Sang quickly thought of an excuse, "I want to embroider a little tiger for the young lady, but I can't see how to embroider it. Can Aunt Liu teach me?"

When she heard that she was going to embroider something for Gu Jiangmeng, Aunt Liu immediately became interested, "Okay, wait for me to finish making this mung bean cake!"

Aunt Liu is an excellent cook and is extremely skilled in making pastries. Soon, they were ready.

After the two of them left, Xiang'er went into the small kitchen, and the first thing she did was to go to the mung bean cake made by Aunt Liu.

Although Xiang'er was Liu's maid who came with her as a dowry, since she entered the Ye Mansion, the people in the Ye Mansion treated Liu and Xiang'er very well, and Xiang'er had deep feelings for everyone in the Ye Mansion.

Especially the old people in the Ye Mansion, they were very kind to Xiang'er. When Xiang'er first entered the Ye Mansion, she knew nothing, and it was Nanny Liu who patiently guided Xiang'er.

Xiang'er always felt that this kind of poison test was unreasonable. After all, it was done secretly after Liu Ma was led out.

But if it is really non-toxic, wouldn't it clear Liu Ma's suspicion? Thinking of this, Xiang'er felt at ease to test the poison.

Seeing that the silver needle did not change color, Xiang'er finally felt relieved. Fortunately, it was not Nanny Liu.

Xianger then went around the small kitchen to look for daffodils, but there were none. It was impossible to put them in such a conspicuous place.

After all this, Xiang'er finally left the small kitchen. But she didn't leave, instead she hid aside.

After all, it is certain that the mung bean cake was not poisonous when Liu Mama first made it. If someone poisoned it, they would definitely do it when no one was around, so I will just wait here.

There are many flowers and plants planted in Xiyi Pavilion where Madam Ye lives. If Madam Ye had not been feeling unwell these days, she would have trimmed the flowers and plants long ago.

If you look closely, you will find that there are daffodils among these flowers and plants, but not many, only a few.

At this time, there were two maids pruning branches and leaves. The one called Liuxin was pruning branches and leaves while looking into Madam Ye's room.

"Why is your hand a little red?" Another maid named Bi Yue saw that Liu Xin's hand was a little red.

Hearing this, Liu Xin was startled, but he only said vaguely, "I guess he was bitten by some bug."

"Oh, that's so scary. You have to be careful, sister." Biyue is younger than Liuxin, and as a girl, she is naturally afraid of insects.

Seeing Qiu Sang and Xiang'er leave the house, Liu Xin walked towards Mrs. Ye's house.

Biyue was very confused as to why Liuxin left suddenly, and whispered, "Sister?"

However, the call received no response, and Bi Yue didn't think much about it. She turned around and continued to trim the flowers and plants.

"Madam, Second Miss."

Ye Shu turned around and found that it was the maid Liu Xin. Ye Shu had some impression of her, probably because she entered the Ye Mansion two or three years ago. "Please have some tea!"

Liu Xin came forward because he saw that there was no one serving him in the room.

"Go ahead, you two must be thirsty. I'll hold Jiang Meng." Mrs. Ye prepared to get up.

Liu Xin quickly put the tea aside, rushed forward, and helped Madam Ye up, "Madam, you can take a rest. I will hold the young lady."

"It's okay. I feel uncomfortable lying down. I might as well sit up for a while."

"Okay, old lady." Liu Xin helped Mrs. Ye sit up.

"Come here, Jiang Meng, let your grandma hug you." Mrs. Ye smiled and opened her arms towards Gu Jiang Meng.

At this time, Gu Jiangmeng was in confusion, his eyes were wide open, and he looked dazed.

When the maidservant in front of me was helping my grandmother sit up, her sleeves were slightly open. Why did I seem to see red marks on her hands and arms?
"Jiang Meng, do you want grandma to hold you?" Seeing the little guy in a daze, Ye Shu slightly shook the swaddling clothes in her arms.

[Yes, yes, yes! Jiang Meng likes her grandmother!]

Gu Jiangmeng came back to his senses and smiled happily.

Mrs. Ye took Gu Jiangmeng from Ye Shu's arms and stroked Gu Jiangmeng's forehead lovingly.

"Jiang Meng will definitely be a blessed child in the future!"

[Yes, yes, that’s right, grandma is right. Of course I am blessed! Because I have a lot of relatives who love me, my mother, father, brothers, uncles, aunts…]

Ye Shu listened to Jiang Meng's inner thoughts and couldn't help but smile softly. The little girl was really sweet.

"Second Miss, is the temperature okay?" Liu Xin looked at Ye Shu seriously.

"can."

"That's good." Liu Xin breathed a sigh of relief, as if his tense nerves had finally relaxed.

"Why, since you still call me Second Miss, why are you so cautious? Do you think I'm a guest?"

Ye Shu felt that she was not that scary, so why did Liu Yun seem to be particularly polite to her?

"No, no, I don't have any." Liu Xin hurriedly shook her head, "The Second Miss will always be the Second Miss of the Ye Mansion. I just want to serve her well. After all, it's rare for the Second Miss to come back to her parents' home, so naturally I have to pay extra attention to her."

"You are quite clever." Although Ye Shu praised her like this, she didn't know why she felt a little unhappy inside.

"Liuxin is an excellent child and he pays great attention to everything." Mrs. Ye also began to praise him.

Although Liu Xin has only been in the Ye Mansion for a few years, she is very thoughtful in everything she does and is very good at reading people's expressions. She is a smart and capable girl.

Liu Xin heard this and seemed to be shy, "Thank you for the compliments, old lady and second young lady."

"Okay, go down and wait first. I'll call you if the tea gets cold."

Ye Shu estimated that the time was almost up and she still needed to wait for news from Xiang'er and Qiu Sang. It would be better to have no outsiders in the house.

"Yes, Second Miss." Liu Xin responded and walked out.

[This maid's name is Liuxin? Her arms and hands are so red, why do they look like they have an allergy?]

After Gu Jiangmeng watched Liu Xin walk out, he continued to wonder about the question just now.

Ye Shu: What is allergy?
