Chapter 83 A few more people
Jiu Niang and the others all bowed to Yuzhan, "Thank you for your concern, Miss Yuzhan."
Yuzhan had never seen such a big scene before, and she was still a little panicked. "No, it's okay. You are all capable. I am just a little girl. You don't have to give me such a big gift... I, I can't bear it..."
Mu Yingyu also stood up and walked out. She saw that there were suddenly so many people in the yard. They were all wearing black clothes. Except for their body shapes and the fact that they were women, they were no different from men.
"Who are they? Where did you get them?"
"From now on, they will be responsible for the safety of our little Peach Garden! You don't have to worry about anyone trying to harm you anymore..."
Mu Yingyu blinked her sleepy eyes, "I wasn't worried at first... Don't I still have you? You will protect me too..."
Mu Qingyan reached out and poked her forehead heavily, "Am I your housekeeper? It's not enough to take care of your food, drink, defecation, urination and sleep, you also want me to be your bodyguard?"
Mu Yingyu touched her forehead which was hurt by the poking. "You are not smart to begin with, and you will become even more stupid if you are poked again! Besides, who made you my sister? If you don't protect me, who will?"
Mu Qingyan pouted and started to bring up the past, "Oh my! You know I'm your sister now? How come you didn't know when you followed Lan Hui to bully me? In order to find a husband, you jumped into the water and falsely accused me of pushing you... Humph..."
Mu Yingyu came over and hugged her arm and shook it with a flattering smile on her face, "Good sister, wasn't I blinded by greed at that time? That's why I bullied you with others... As the saying goes, it's a great honor to admit your mistakes and correct them, right? You are a magnanimous person, please forgive me... Don't bother with me..."
Mu Qingyan pretended to snort coldly and shook off her arm, "Let's see how you perform..."
Someone was very servile, sometimes rubbing her shoulders, sometimes patting her back...
Suddenly there were a lot more people in Taoyuan, which made Yuzhun very busy because she had never cooked breakfast for so many people before.
Fortunately, Jiu Niang and the others also went to help voluntarily. Although they knew nothing about cooking, they were still able to do the rough work like making a fire and chopping wood.
After working hard all morning, I finally had a hot meal.
Jiu Niang and her friends usually train when they don't have any missions, but when a mission comes, they train day and night.
They have forgotten what it feels like to sit down and enjoy a proper meal.
I spent most of last night cleaning the house and finally managed to move all the clutter out.
"Yuzhan, after dinner, take out some silver and ask Jiuniang and the others to go out and get a big bunk bed, and then buy some useful things. Although the house is a little small, it can still be lived in. It's better than being outside to collect dew and feed mosquitoes."
Yuzhan agreed readily.
But there is still a problem, "But girl, there are suddenly so many more people in our courtyard, we need to report to the Madam..."
Mu Qingyan waved her hand, "They don't need monthly salary from the palace, so why should they report? If anyone asks, just say they were sent by Prince Ling's Palace to protect me. If they have any objections, they can go and tell Prince Ling themselves."
Mu Yingyu was drinking her porridge and choked when she heard this.
"Cough cough cough..."
Mu Qingyan drank porridge with a spoon in one hand. Seeing that she was choking, she used her other hand to pat her back to help her calm down.
Mu Yingyu recovered her breath and wiped her mouth, "Finally I found a good backer for you! Look at the tone of your voice now...tsk tsk tsk..."
Mu Qingyan pinched her bulging cheeks and said, "Of course! It would be a waste if you don't use your backer!"
"Oh! That's so annoying!" Mu Yingyu slapped her hand away with a look of disgust.
Yuzhi's movements are very agile.
After waiting for the two masters in the courtyard to put down their bowls and chopsticks, she cleaned up the kitchen, went to get the silver, and went out with Jiu Niang.
The other women continued to clean the dusty house.
When Ah Shang said that they were lucky and that the master they were going to serve was the best of the best, they were not quite convinced.
Now I believe it 100%.
The eldest daughter of the Mu family knows how to act and retreat when dealing with people.
He is both kind and majestic, making them respect him but not fear him.
Mu Ruge and Mu Xinshang have been released from the ancestral hall.
The entire Duke’s Mansion acted as if nothing had happened to what happened at the birthday party that night. No one even mentioned what happened to the third young lady who fell into the water.
Seeing Yuzhan leading a stranger through the front yard and out of the mansion, Mu Ruge frowned, "Isn't that Yuzhan, the maidservant beside Mu Qingyan? Who is the other one? Why haven't I seen her in the mansion before?"
Huiyun shook her head, "I will send someone to inquire about it..."
After she finished speaking, she winked at the maid Huamei behind her. Huamei understood and hurriedly left for Taoyuan.
The master in Taoyuan likes quietness and has only one maid, Yuzhuan, by his side.
The other maids who were responsible for cleaning the garden would go in to do the cleaning before daybreak every day and leave after they were done. They would not stay in Taoyuan.
Therefore, it is not easy to find out some information.
Huamei dragged the servant girl who had just come out of Taoyuan to a deserted place and interrogated her.
The girl knew that she was the second-class maidservant beside the second young lady, and she felt a little scared, "Sister Huamei, what do you want from me?"
Huamei showed what she thought was a kind smile, "Don't be afraid, I just want to ask you something..."
"Sister, you ask..."
"Is there someone new in Taoyuan? How come even Madam doesn't know about it?"
The little girl swallowed her saliva and said, "To answer my sister's question, there are indeed a few more people in Taoyuan, as if they appeared out of thin air... They didn't come yesterday... This morning, when we came in to clean up, we saw them in the yard... As for how they came, I don't know..."
Huamei stuffed a piece of silver into the girl's pocket and said, "This is a gift from the second young lady. Don't tell the eldest young lady that I came to see you. Otherwise..."
There was a gleam of ruthlessness in Huamei's eyes.
The girl was frightened, "I dare not, I haven't seen my sister today..."
Huamei watched her run away in panic, and even looked around to see if there was anyone around before quickly leaving.
"Oh? Someone who appeared out of nowhere?"
"According to what Huamei has heard, this is what happened. The eldest girl has a strange personality. She doesn't want anyone except Yuzhan. She even drove away Yulan, who used to serve her together with Yuzhan. She and Yuzhan are the only two people living in Taoyuan. I heard that..."
She hesitated.
Mu Ruge looked indifferent, "If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you hesitating? You've been with me for so long, don't you even know the rules?"
Huiyun was so frightened that she lowered her body again, "I know I was wrong, but I heard that after that night, the third young lady moved to Taoyuan and lived with the eldest young lady..."
