Chapter 141 See if anyone is coming
Xiangguo volunteered to stay and stare at the people in the kitchen. Seeing her firm attitude, Yunying looked at Xiuzhang, and when she saw Xiuzhang nod, she also nodded.
Yunying held Xiuzhang's hand and returned to the main courtyard with an anxious and expectant mood.
However, as soon as I entered the main courtyard, I saw a group of people kneeling in the yard outside the main house. I immediately felt confused.
When I got closer, I found that the people kneeling were all maids and servants of Qingxueju.
In addition, Xiaohuan was also kneeling among them.
"Sister Xiaohuan!? Why are you kneeling here too?"
After Yunying recognized Xiaohuan, a look of obvious surprise appeared on her face.
Hearing this, Xiaohuan looked up at Yunying, her eyes gleaming with a strong light. The next moment, Xiaohuan bit her lip with tears in her eyes, looking at Yunying with an aggrieved expression: "Miss, it's all my fault. I made the Madam unhappy, so the Madam asked me to kneel here as punishment."
As soon as these words came out, Xiu Zhang's eyes flashed with a fierce look. Yun Ying, who had originally let go of Xiu Zhang's hand and was about to walk towards Xiao Huan, also stopped in her tracks.
She frowned slightly, stared at Xiaohuan unhappily, and asked in a baby voice, "This is the first time that grandma comes to our house! Sister Xiaohuan, how could you make grandma unhappy?"
The child's brain was still not flexible enough and he didn't understand Xiaohuan's nonsense.
"I..." Xiaohuan also realized this and was about to say something to make amends when she was interrupted by Xiu Zhang's cold voice.
"I advise you to shut up and kneel quietly."
Xiaohuan looked at Xiuzhang warily, and although she was unwilling, she finally shut her mouth. But her big wet eyes kept looking at Yunying.
Yunying felt a little soft-hearted and wanted to plead for Xiaohuan, but she felt that she couldn't go against her grandmother's wishes. In the end, she could only look up at Xiuzhang in confusion: "Sister Xiuzhang?"
Unfortunately, Xiu Zhang just held her hand again with an expressionless face and said softly: "Let's go in. The Madam is still waiting for you. She must miss you after not seeing you for so long."
"Yeah." Yunying became happy again. She took Xiuzhang's hand and walked into the house on her short legs.
Xiu Zhang walked up the stone steps and was about to step into the door when he suddenly turned back to look at Xiaohuan, just in time to see Xiaohuan's vicious eyes.
Xiaohuan looked away in panic and lowered her head, which earned her a faint sneer from Xiuzhang.
After Yunying and Xiuzhang entered the house, the people kneeling beside them lowered their voices and whispered, "Bah! You really think you are such a big shot that you dare to sow discord between the second young lady and the old lady! Don't you even consider your own worth?"
"That's right! Some people still think that the Madam is as easy to fool as the master and the young lady. Haha, wait and see if the Madam doesn't skin her alive!"
"The Madam always treated our Madam like her own daughter. This time she came here in person, she must be here to vent her anger on our Madam!"
Several people were whispering, but Xiaohuan curled her lips in disdain and did not argue with them. Instead, she lowered her head and thought about the next strategy.
In the main room, Rong Enqing had already come out of the inner room and was sitting in the hall. Yunhai stayed in the inner room to watch over little Rong.
Seeing Yunying coming in, Rong Enqing's frown relaxed a little.
"Little darling, come here quickly!"
Yunying let go of Xiuzhang's hand, ran forward with a smile, and threw herself into Rong Enqing's arms.
After a while, she raised her little face to look at Rong Enqing and said sweetly, "Grandma, I miss you so much."
"Grandma misses you too!" Rong Enqing reached out and carried her to the chair, sat next to her, and lowered his head to touch Yunying's forehead.
Just after the kiss, Rong Enqing seemed to have thought of something and reached out to lift the bangs covering Yunying's forehead.
The scar, which was still hideous when we met last time, has shown obvious improvement after more than a month.
"Thank God, it works!"
Rong Enqing reached out and gently touched the fingertip-sized scar, and asked Yunying, "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt." Yunying shook her head.
"Then, have you applied the ointment that grandma sent you every day?"
"Yes. Sister Xiaohuan helps me apply it every day."
Rong Enqing frowned slightly, skipped over Xiaohuan's name, and reminded her, "You must apply the ointment obediently in the future. When the ointment is used up, grandma will bring it to you."
"Yes." Yunying nodded obediently, "I will listen to my grandmother and apply it every day."
Rong Enqing patted Yunying's head with relief, then turned to tell Xiu Zhang, "Please remember this for me, and prepare a generous gift for the county lady and Doctor Sun in the county lady's mansion. It was thanks to the county lady that Doctor Sun came to the mansion to help treat the disease, and not only did he save Yunluo, he also helped Yunying."
Xiu Zhang nodded in agreement, but while making a note of the incident, he was also thinking about going back to check what was going on.
Before leaving the palace, she received an order from her superiors, saying that she must investigate every detail of everything around Madam Rong and not miss anything.
What's more, the lady's words also involved Princess Anyang, so she had to find out more clearly.
Rong Enqing and Yunying stayed together for a while, and when they saw that the time was almost up, he instructed Xiu Zhang again, "Go to the door and see if anyone from the Marquis' Mansion has arrived."
"Yes." Xiu Zhang responded respectfully.
"If they haven't come yet, you should wait at the door for them to come." After a pause, Rong Enqing's expression became stern, and he continued to order in a cold voice: "When they come, seal the house immediately! Control all the people in the house! Don't leave any one behind!"
"Slave, you obey!"
"Go."
Xiu Zhang took the order, quickly left the hall and headed straight for the gate.
Before she was ordered to find Yunying, she had already gone to the door to convey the lady's order, asking the coachman to go back to the Marquis' Mansion and ask Butler Li to bring twenty servants.
I think it’s about time.
She entered the palace at the age of seven and is now fourteen years old. She has lived in the palace for seven years. The palace is full of rules and regulations, and she is used to them.
When she first arrived at Shun'an Marquis Mansion, she was shocked!
The servants are lazy, the concubines are arrogant, and the bastards are rebellious against their mistresses...
Is this really what a noble family should look like?
However, compared with what I saw today, all those things in the Marquis' Mansion became insignificant.
At the very least, the Marquis' Mansion is still under the control of the Lady Dowager.
But what about the Yun Mansion in front of us?
The master is not like a master, and the servant is not like a servant. The master has no deterrent power over the servant, and the servant has no respect for the master. The servants are even more chaotic! The housekeepers are divided into factions, the maids are divided into courtyards, fighting, quarreling, and making things difficult for each other... How chaotic it is!
Coming out of the main courtyard, along the way, Xiaohuan and the maids of Qingxueju knelt obediently, the deputy housekeeper, housekeeper Liu, and a group of servants behind them also knelt in the same place, and some of them half sat on the ground in a sneaky way. Xiuzhang saw it but didn't say much. He just glanced and passed it by.
Soon, we arrived at the gate. The gatekeeper we saw at first was still guarding the gate diligently.
Xiu Zhang couldn't help but glance at the boy. In the entire Yun Mansion, the only two people who could escape the disaster today were probably the doorman boy and Miss Yunying's personal maid Xiangguo.
Xiu Zhang guessed so.
