Mistress

Chapter 58

Xu Cheng stopped talking, looked at Li Yan, "Don't you remember, I told you a few days ago, I want to work for you, so naturally I have to protect you."

Li Yanru Mo's eyes flickered, she was indescribably moved.

After choking for a while, Li Yan asked softly: "If you don't get rid of her restraint after half a month, she will definitely make trouble again, and it's not a problem to be restrained all the time, shouldn't you think of something else?"

"I've already made up my mind. When the situation is stable and the emperor's power is gone, I will send Aunt Ji out of the mansion and let her fend for herself. She has also saved a lot of treasures and jewels, so she can live a good life when she goes out."

Li Yan nodded, "Master, this method is very good."

Xu Cheng stared at her, "You are my wife, my wife, I was supposed to let you live a stable life and enjoy the blessings, I have to make up for what I owed you in the past, the first thing to do is, Just don’t let my concubine disturb you.”

Li Yan and Wang Qiushui met Xu Cheng, and Xu Cheng saw that she seemed to be too touched to speak, so he smiled slightly and said, "Go back to the yard to rest, I'm going to Zhihui Hall, I guess it will be around noon tomorrow." return."

Li Yan silently nodded her head, looking at Xu Cheng's back.His back is so tall, his steps are so steady and powerful, even if he is planning major events that will overturn the universe in his heart, he looks so calm, without the slightest impetuousness.He is indeed a person who can be relied on, and there are many people who want to rely on him.

And is it a great honor for her, as his wife, to be protected by him so carefully?
Li Yan thought about this all the way, and returned to Jinxiu Courtyard.She called Qi'er to her, and told her about the master asking her to serve in Qiushui Pavilion.

Qi'er was about to cry when she heard that, "Ma'am, can I not go, I don't like Aunt Ji, how can I serve her wholeheartedly?"

Li Yan was not willing to give up Qi, and sighed: "I don't want to, but the master said this, we can't disobey it. You don't need to serve her too much, as long as you don't confront her, don't quarrel with her. It's fine. Yes, you have to protect yourself, I will try to get you back after a few days."

Qi'er nodded her head silently, shed a line of tears, and said: "I will watch her carefully, and if she does anything wrong, I will come and report to Madam."

Li Yan was very pleased, "I'm very happy that you can always think about me like this. With you by her side, she won't do anything wrong. In addition, I asked you to bring Xue'er and Zi'er with you." Go in, I don’t worry about you going in alone. In addition, the three of you are not considered members of Qiushui Pavilion, so you can enter and leave Qiushui Pavilion freely.”

Mother Cui was very disturbed when she heard that Qi'er was sent, but now she heard that Madam was going to match Xue'er and Zi'er, so she felt relieved and hurriedly called Xue'er and Zi'er in, and asked them to listen to Madam's advice. Lecture.

Li Yan also trusted Xue'er and Zi'er. According to Nanny Cui, they had been in the Jinxiu Courtyard since they entered the mansion at the age of ten, and they were honest and honest, and usually listened to Qi'er's words.

Li Yan asked Nanny Cui to take out the jewelry box, personally picked out two pairs of earrings and a fine jade bracelet, and put them on for Xueer and Zier herself, saying: "I prepared these for you earlier. When you get married, I will prepare another dowry for you, so that you can marry in a splendid manner. After the two of you enter, treat Qier like a little master, and listen to her in everything. Is it?"

Xue'er and Zi'er are rough envoys, and they usually listen to Qi'er's arrangements, so it's not difficult at all for them to treat Qi'er as their little masters.At this time, Madam still treated them so well and gave them such good things, they kowtowed gratefully.

Li Yan took Qi'er's hand again, and said: "Your me has already been prepared for you, and it is well placed there. I will definitely not lose you in the future."

With tears in her eyes, Qi'er knelt down and kowtowed three times, saying: "Even if the madam doesn't prepare anything for the slave, the slave only has the madam as the master in her heart, and the slave will be loyal to the master through life and death."

Li Yan pulled her up, "You are rare and good girls, I will call you back in a short time, don't cry, wipe your tears quickly."

Qi'er wiped away her tears and smiled at Li Yan.

Xue'er and Zi'er followed Qi'er, Li Yan looked at Nanny Cui and Qing'er standing by the door, and felt a little too quiet.Nanny Cui understood Li Yan's thoughts, so she asked: "Madam, do you want to pick a few more good maids? You are Madam, you should have eight maids, but half of them are already missing. There are only four. Only Qing'er is left."

Li Yan shook her head, "No need, you and Qing'er are enough. There are so many people and chaos in the yard, it's because you and Qing'er are working harder than before."

Nanny Cui curled her lips as if she was blaming her own daughter, "Madam said that, but she treats me and Qing'er as outsiders. We are not afraid of hard work, as long as Madam feels comfortable, it is just boiling water, lighting a charcoal fire and some scrubbing. It's nothing to do with your life."

Li Yanying smiled and said: "Okay, I won't talk about it."

Qing'er happily walked over, "Ma'am, let me comb your hair in a beautiful bun, okay? Normally, this servant will watch Qi'er comb Madam, and this servant has learned a lot from being around."

"Okay, I'll let you practice your hands." Li Yan came to the dressing table and sat down, letting Qing'er play with it.

Aunt Ji was served by Qiaoer just now to wash her body, combed her hair, and changed into a beautiful dress. At this time, she sat down and was about to eat something to mend herself. She didn't expect to see Qier bring Xueer and Zier in. up.

How could she eat it, she just wanted to smash this plate of snacks on Qi'er's face.

Qi'er, Xue'er, and Zi'er bowed to Aunt Ji, and Aunt Ji tried her best not to let herself do anything, she smiled gently and said, "Qi'er, there is only Ying'er in my room, and there is Qiaoer beside me." And Fei'er in the outer room, how can you use such people. Madam is really too generous, but I really can't do anything about them, you can let these two girls go back."

Qi'er blessed Fushenzi and said: "Auntie, this is Madam's arrangement, how dare the servants send them back. I heard that Auntie is not in good health recently, and the servants will definitely take good care of Auntie. Xueer, Zi Son, go and light a fire and cook bird's nest porridge for my aunt."

After Qi'er finished speaking, she stood with Qiao'er and waited beside Aunt Ji.

Aunt Ji lost her appetite at all, as if she would be watched even if she ate something, she pushed the plate in her hand to the side, and said lightly: "Qiaoer, come and serve me undress, I want to lie down for a while."

Qiao'er hurriedly came over to undress Aunt Ji, and after Aunt Ji lay down, she waved her hands and said, "You two go out, I can't sleep with someone standing by."

Qier came out with Qiaoer.

Aunt Ji was lying on the kang tossing and turning, the suffocation in her heart was really unbearable. She never paid attention to Li Yan before, thinking that she could subdue her with a little movement of her wrist, but she did not expect to be reduced to this kind of situation today. To such an extent, Li Yan was punished to death by accident, and now it's like going to jail every day.

But she can't get angry with Qi'er, Qi'er can enter and leave the Qiushui Pavilion freely, if Qi'er turns around and speaks ill of her in front of Madam, she will never be able to lift the restraint again.

She really couldn't go through with this tone.

Not long after, it was time for lunch, the cook in the small kitchen had already placed the food on the table in the outer room, and Qi'er followed Qiao'er into Aunt Ji's room.

Qiao'er called softly: "Auntie, your breakfast is useless, now it's time to have a good lunch."

Aunt Ji frowned and said, "I don't have any appetite, so I'll take all the food away."

Qiao'er came to the kang and persuaded: "Auntie, if you don't eat well and your body is getting weak, what will happen in the future..." She wanted to say but didn't go on, because it was inconvenient to say anything with Qi'er by her side.

Not only Aunt Ji felt aggrieved, but also Qiaoer was extremely aggrieved, she couldn't even express her heart in a word, how could she live this day.

Aunt Ji knew the meaning of Qiaoer's words, she sat up suddenly, and said angrily: "Eat, why don't you eat. Qi'er, I heard that you usually do my wife's hair. Come here and comb my hair." How about a Japanese bun?"

Qi'er came over and said obediently: "Okay, this servant will definitely help my aunt comb it carefully, as long as my aunt doesn't dislike it."

After Ying'er came to the school, she worked desperately. Thinking that the master and wife agreed to let her marry Chen Hao, she could laugh out loud while working, but when she thought that Aunt Ji was still in dire straits, her heart She was unhappy again, if it wasn't for Aunt Ji, she would not have taken that step back then, and she would not have won Chen Hao's heart.

She had done half the morning's work, and when it was time for lunch, she forgot to go, so that she missed the hour. When she went to the dining hall, she found that the food had already been collected.She didn't feel uncomfortable when she was hungry, and went back to the school to work. When she brought a bucket of water to wipe the tables and chairs, she suddenly saw a person walking by in front of the school. She took a good look, wasn't that Chen Hao?

She ran to the door and whispered: "Chen Hao!"

Chen Hao's hearing is very good, he can hear the voice coming from the school, and he can also recognize the voice of Ying'er.

He walked into the school excitedly, seeing Ying'er holding a rag in his hand and a wooden bucket beside him, he understood that all of this was arranged by the master.In the past few days, he has been repenting, and sometimes he wished to slap himself to death, knowing that he was the master's personal bodyguard and should not be played by Aunt Ji.

Now the master has arranged for Ying'er, and all of this is for him. Not only is he deeply regretful, but he also knows that he must repay the favor to the master. From now on, he will not disclose things that he should not disclose to anyone except the master.

Ying'er threw the rag in her hand on the table, and ran over happily, and was about to throw herself into Chen Hao's arms.However, Chen Hao stepped back and said seriously: "Ying'er, we shouldn't be like that before. As long as they are not married, a man and a woman are not allowed to have any skin relatives, nor are they allowed to be private."

Ying'er blushed when she heard this, and hurriedly stepped back, lowering her head as if she had made a mistake and said, "I hope you don't blame me, am I too..."

Chen Hao said softly: "How can I blame you for this, if I want to blame, I can only blame myself."

Ying'er originally wanted Chen Hao to help Aunt Ji, but she didn't say that when they just met, but smiled shyly at Chen Hao.In any case, as long as they can get married in the future.
