Stepmother's Adoption Letter

Chapter 144 The Maid (3)
The two brothers fought in the morning, and fell asleep after eating.When walking back, the warm sunlight shone on my body, and I couldn't even open my eyes.

Yuan Lu asked the nanny to hug them and take them back to sleep first.She took sister Xi to the flower hall for guests by herself.

There are two flower halls in the east and west of Chengguo Mansion, the east one is built in the courtyard, and the west one is built in the garden.Since the people who came the next day were all visiting patients, Yuan Lu planned to place them in the East Flower Hall.She had already sent someone to clean and arrange in the morning, and she just came to check at this time.

She asked Sister Xi to follow because she thought that if she wanted to stand up, she would not be able to just watch her mother and maid wandering around at home. She had to broaden her horizons and get in touch with people outside.

Although sister Xi grew up by the old lady's side, she has never been taught in communication.At this moment, hearing what my aunt said, I would also come out to meet guests tomorrow, so I became nervous unconsciously.

Yuan Lu patted her on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I'm the one here. There are two families who came here tomorrow, and we were deeply involved with them a while ago. One is the wife of General Zhen Guo, and I miss you too." Remember, the eldest son of her family beat your eldest brother, and later caused trouble in the palace. Our family has already torn face with them. However, the biological mothers of her and your two younger brothers handed over handkerchiefs. I came to apologize. The other one is the wife of the right servant of the Ministry of War. The adults of their family and your grandmother are both from the army and have a deep friendship. I think you know what their family has done and how they stepped on our family's face."

When she said something, sister Xi nodded sullenly.

Yuan Lu smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. To tell you the truth, your grandmother is not sociable, and few people come to our house. I only met some people during the Chinese New Year. I don't know more than half of the people who will come tomorrow. , let’s explore together.”

Sister Xi didn't relax, and the worries in her heart became even bigger. Even my aunt didn't know what kind of people or things she would meet, so why didn't she make people worry?But she is very envious, when will she be like my aunt, no matter what she has to face, she is not afraid?

Yuan Lu talked to her for a while, and then asked her to go back and prepare the clothes for the meeting tomorrow.She was going to see Gao Lan by herself.

Gao Lan's yard is farther away than theirs, and she usually doesn't go out much except to greet the old lady.Because of this, although she moved back, she didn't have a strong sense of presence.

Shuangji was still the only maid beside Gao Lan, and Yuan Lu sent her a few maids and mother-in-law over later, and the courtyard was not too deserted.

Shuangji was talking to the little maid on the porch, but when she saw Yuan Lu coming in, she shrank her neck and was too frightened to speak.

During the time she entered the mansion, she finally saw what a real master is.If you are sold to an ordinary family, even if you do something wrong, at most you will be beaten, and you will miss a meal.And it won't be hard to beat, after all, it is bought with money, who would easily break a capable person?But it's different here, this is the place where the master can kill people with just one word.

The maid on the corridor was only a few years old, and when she saw Yuan Lu, she shouted "Hi Ma'am" and ran away.But Shuangji was still there in a daze, and didn't say to come up to say hello, let alone wait for her to open the curtain to let her in.

When Lu Shui saw her, he walked over a few steps and said to her, "Madam is here, can't you see it or something?"

Shuangji was even more frightened when she saw Lushui. Thinking of being slapped on the ears by the woman last time, her legs began to tremble.

Seeing that she was afraid of being like this, Yuan Lu didn't talk to her too much, and let someone open the curtain and go in.
