Mother and daughter reborn and swap bodies, both of them went crazy

Dousha was in her prime years. After she was bought into the mansion at the age of seven or eight, she was assigned to live with Aunt Ruan. Aunt Ruan treated Dousha very kindly, so Dousha was raised to have a lively personality.

She nodded Huaishan's little head and joked.

"You greedy Huaishan! Your mouth is watering - don't worry, your good days are still ahead if you follow our young master..."

"Sister Dousha is right. I must have accumulated good fortune in my previous life, my previous life, and my previous life before that. Only in this life can I have the good fortune to meet such a good master like the young master..."

Huaishan has a round face, crescent eyes, and a very pleasing smile. He also speaks sweet words without hesitation, making everyone laugh.

The two maids in the outer courtyard who were usually disobedient also came over with shameless faces, and said auspicious words like "Madam Ruan is blessed, the fourth young master is blessed, and the fourth young master will definitely pass the imperial examination in the future."

Aunt Ruan didn't say much to them. She just smiled and asked Dousha to bring two plates of pastries bought from outside and a bag of jerky to the two maids.

Dousha pouted as if dissatisfied, but still went to take it and shared it with the two of them.

"Thank you, Aunt Ruan, thank you, Fourth Young Master. I will serve you well in the future..."

The two maids took the reward and left with many thanks.

Afterwards, Aunt Ruan gave Huaishan another hundred coins as a reward and a large bag of nougat.

This made Huaishan very happy, he laughed so hard that his teeth were showing, and this also caused Dousha to laugh even more.

After appreciating the things, Aunt Ruan looked at Sheng Mingshu with a smile and said.

"Madam, what you have given me are all good things. When you have learned something in the future, you must repay Madam and be filial to her."

Sheng Mingshu nodded obediently, his eyes full of gratitude, "Aunt, I remember."

"Well, Shu'er, you are a good child who knows how to repay kindness. By the way, Dousha, help me get the jewelry box.

"I remember I have a pearl necklace. My wife likes to decorate her shoes with pearls. I will try to make a pair before the New Year. It is my small token of gratitude..."

On the other side, Sheng Mingli also returned to his aunt's yard with gifts.

The Bodhi Courtyard where Aunt Shui lived was in a very remote area, and the house looked a bit dilapidated due to years of disrepair.

The yard was empty, with almost no flowers, plants or trees, but Aunt Shui had reclaimed a few vegetable plots in the corners and planted some lush green vegetables.

Aunt Shui was originally a concubine bought by Huang Yaning from outside.

When Huang Yaning was pregnant with her first child, the maids under her had different thoughts, which made Huang Yaning very angry, so she sold a group of servants.

As a result, the reputation of the jealous mistress of the Sheng family soon spread, and Huang Yaning had no choice but to buy a good girl from outside to be a concubine for Sheng Yong to silence the gossips.

Aunt Shui was the person Huang Yaning carefully selected at that time. She was beautiful but illiterate, and had an honest and easy-to-handle personality.

When Sheng Yong first entered the mansion, he stayed in Concubine Shui's yard for the first two months for the novelty. Concubine Shui was very happy and soon became pregnant with Sheng Mingli.

Later, Concubine Ruan came into the mansion, and then Concubine Hong, Concubine Bai...

Sheng Yong almost forgot that he had a concubine, Shui.

Therefore, Madam Shui was sent to the most remote courtyard in the mansion early on. She had only one maid by her side, and not even a nanny to do the chores.

Aunt Shui lived in her own yard with her son and little maid, like invisible people.

Later, her personal maid redeemed herself and left the house, and no one sent her a maid to replace her.

Three years ago, my cousin He Hua from my hometown was almost "rented out" by her gambling-addicted husband, so her brothers from her natal family came to Aunt Shui for help.

It was the first time that Aunt Shui took the initiative to leave Bodhi Temple and pleaded with Huang Yaning to buy her cousin He Hua to bring her into the mansion as a personal maid.

That incident also made Huang Yaning realize that Sheng Mingli and Sheng Mingshu were already four or five years old. It would be bad to continue to ignore them, so she prepared a yard for them in the outer courtyard.

He also gave each of them two maids, two mothers, and bought each of them a personal servant of similar age.

In this way, Sheng Mingli and Sheng Mingshu looked a little more like young masters.

Sheng Mingshu benefited from Aunt Shui, so Aunt Ruan has always been very grateful to Aunt Shui.

Not only did she often send some daily necessities, but when Aunt Ruan was teaching her son to read, she would also invite Sheng Mingli to come over to learn.

When the fruits, vegetables and herbs grown by Aunt Shui were ripe, she would ask Sheng Mingli to secretly send some over.

Although Aunt Shui seemed to stay indoors for many years, she actually had a very good relationship with Aunt Ruan, and the relationship between the two brothers Sheng Mingli and Sheng Mingshu also became closer and closer.

Hehua is about 20 years old, with a square face, dark skin and a thin figure.

She was wearing a cotton coat that was neither new nor old and did not look too thick. Because of the strong cold wind coming from the door, her nose was frozen red. She could only hunch her shoulders and back, rubbing her hands constantly.

He stomped his feet from time to time and blew on his rough hands, and the air he exhaled turned into a cloud of white smoke.

"Hehua, you don't have to accompany me. Come into the house and put on my new cotton-padded jacket. Be careful not to catch a cold—"

Seeing her cousin looking at her worriedly, Hehua quickly shook her head.

"No, cousin, you won't be cold if you move more."

She was a maid and was allowed two sets of coarse cloth winter clothes in winter, and her cousin even had two sets of thick clothes made of good material.

Unfortunately, all of it was embezzled by those greedy people. The old jacket given to her was so old that it couldn't be any older, and her cousin only got a thin new cotton-padded coat.

My cousin’s new cotton-padded jacket is to be worn when she goes to the front hall to eat during the New Year. How can she have the nerve to wear it?

Alas, if only Madam had cleared out the corrupt officials in this house earlier, their shares would not have been embezzled.

Unfortunately, it’s too late to say anything now. The earliest we can get new clothes is after the beginning of spring.

Fortunately, my nephew can go to school now, and my cousin has hope.

As long as her cousin is better, her life will be better too.

"Don't hold on. I'm thinking of secretly selling the cloth that Madam gave me as a reward in a few days, and then I'll buy some good cotton to make new clothes. Don't worry."

When Lotus heard this, she was deeply moved, but after thinking about it, she decided to refuse.

"Li'er will need a lot of money for his studies in the future. I won't be in the way. I can just carry it..."

Aunt Shui saw that He Hua refused to wear new clothes no matter what, and she was already wearing the warmest of her old clothes, and the rest were almost the same as what He Hua was wearing.

I couldn't help but sigh, and took Lotus's hand and walked into the house, "Let's go back to the house and wait for them."

There was not even a charcoal fire in the inner room. There was only a small stove with a pot of boiling water on it. It was not warm, but at least there was no knife-like cold wind.

He Hua swiftly took out two tea bowls and placed a few dried roses in each bowl. She was about to pour boiling water into each bowl when she heard Aunt Shui say this.

"Take out the brown sugar from the cupboard and add it to the tea to sweeten it up."
