In the evening, when Jiang Suining left Ningxiu Restaurant and was about to go home, Biyun also arrived outside Ningxiu Restaurant.

Looking at Biyun's hurried steps, Jiang Suining said, "Didn't I tell you that you can just go home after Ningyue Pavilion closes? You don't have to rush over to find me."

"I thought we still had time and it wasn't far away, so I came to be with you, young lady." Biyun wiped the sweat from her forehead and walked to Jiang Suining's side. "Young lady, it's not good for you to be without a maid by your side all the time, how about I..."

Jiang Suining interrupted Biyun and said, "I'm already choosing. Mother has also arranged someone, but she hasn't made the selection yet. Just focus on managing Ningyue Pavilion and don't worry too much."

It was just a period of time without a maid following her, so she didn't feel it had much of an impact.

Biyun pursed her lips, lowered her head and said in a low voice: "Miss, I'm sorry."

Before, because of the young lady's trust, she was full of passion and all she could think about was not letting the young lady down. However, after she went to Ningyue Pavilion these few days, the young lady had not chosen a new maid, so it seemed difficult for her to choose one that suits her.

But there must always be someone following the lady around to help run errands, pass messages and so on.

"You just need to take good care of Ningyue Pavilion and don't worry too much. As for the maid, there is no need to rush. There are shop assistants in the shop during the day, and there are people serving in the yard when you go home. You don't have to worry."

Jiang Suining was comforting Biyun. While they were talking, suddenly a dirty girl ran over in a panic and almost bumped into Jiang Suining.

"Be careful." Jiang Suining reached out to help her, and the bun in her arms fell to the ground.

"You thief girl, you dare to steal buns, you must be tired of living!" Not far away, a middle-aged man ran over with a ferocious look.

The girl turned pale with fright and hurriedly picked up the bun on the ground and was about to run away. But in the blink of an eye, the man had caught up with her, grabbed her arm, and raised his hand to hit her.

"Wait." Jiang Suining stopped the man.

"Miss, this thief stole my buns!" the man said angrily.

"I was wrong, I was wrong." The girl begged for mercy, "I, I'm just too hungry, I'll give it back to you!"

"Bah, it's already so dirty, why do you still want it!" The man knocked down the bun that was handed to him.

Jiang Suining glanced at Biyun, who took out her purse and said, "We've paid for the buns, and let the man go."

Seeing the money, the man let go of the girl, but before leaving, he did not forget to threaten her fiercely, "You're lucky this time. If you dare to steal buns again next time, I'll chop off your hands!"

The girl shrank back in fear and stood there not daring to speak.

Only after the man left did she kneel down in front of Jiang Suining, but she still kept her head down, not daring to look at anyone.

"Thank you Miss, thank you Miss!"

Jiang Suining looked at the other person and asked, "Where do you live?"

"I have no home." The girl shook her head.

"What about the family?"

"No." The girl continued to shake her head. After she finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Suining timidly and said, "Miss, do you want to work? I, I can do anything."

Seeing Jiang Suining looking at her without saying anything, the girl kowtowed again, "Please, I really can do anything, I don't want wages, just give me food to eat."

"Miss..." Biyun felt a little bit reluctant.

"What's your name?" Jiang Suining asked.

"Xi'er, my name is Xi'er."

"Xi'er..." Jiang Suining thought for a moment and said, "Since you have nowhere to go, come back with me."

"Thank you, Miss. Thank you, Miss!" Xier kowtowed again and again.

Jiang Suining asked Biyun to help the person up, and when they returned to Jiang's house, Zheng Yan'er also happened to be home.

Seeing Jiang Suining bringing back a dirty girl, Zheng Yaner looked disgusted and asked, "Where did Sister Suining bring this beggar back from?"

"I met her on the road. I plan to keep her by my side as a maid." Jiang Suining said calmly to Biyun, "Take her downstairs to give her a bath, find her a clean dress that fits her, and give her something to eat."

"Yes." Biyun led his people downstairs.

"Sister Suining really has a kind heart." Zheng Yan'er's tone was filled with obvious sarcasm.

But when they got to the dinner table, the sarcasm turned into compliments.

"Aunt and uncle, Sister Suining is really kind-hearted. Today she picked up a pitiful girl and took her in as her maid."

"Picked up a girl?" Zheng looked at Jiang Suining inquiringly.

"To answer mother, he is a poor man without parents. I met him on the way and brought him back. I put him in my yard and I can pay his monthly allowance from my account." Jiang Suining explained.

"That's not what I meant. Since you brought it back, just keep it. It just so happens that you are short of staff right now. As for the monthly allowance, of course it will be paid by your family." Zheng said.

"Aunt, how could Sister Suining care about this little money? She is kindhearted. After all, he looks like a beggar. If you don't bring him back, he might starve to death on the street. Sister Suining will definitely not bear it."

Jiang Suining glanced at Zheng Yan'er and didn't respond. Jiang Mushi and Jiang Zhitong also didn't speak.

Although these words were meant to praise Jiang Suining, after all, they had been together for such a long time, and they had already seen clearly what kind of temper Zheng Yaner had.

There was an awkward silence at the dinner table, and Zheng had to smooth things over by saying, "Yes, Sui Ning is indeed kind-hearted."

"Good people are often bullied." Jiang Mushi said in a sad tone, "It's better to be thick-skinned. Even if someone stabs you in the back, you can still pretend to be friendly and affectionate on the surface. Why open a restaurant? It would be better to open a theater. No one can act better than you."

"Mu Shi!" Zheng kicked Jiang Mu Shi under the table.

"Mom, am I wrong?"

"Shut up." Zheng was helpless and looked at Jiang Suining again, "Suining has already been to Jinfeng Tower today, and she is not angry with you..."

"Mother." Jiang Suining put down the chopsticks in his hand and spoke gently, "I suddenly remembered that there is still an account that has not been sorted out. Father and mother, please enjoy. I will go back to check the account first."

Zheng was a little embarrassed, "Sui Ning, you should finish eating first..."

"Go ahead." Jiang Zhitong interrupted Zheng, "I'll ask the kitchen to make some for you later."

"Yes, thank you, father." Jiang Suining bowed and left.

"I don't want to eat either." Jiang Mushi also put down his chopsticks.

"Brat, you..."

"You should go too and make good use of your time to review your lessons." Jiang Zhitong spoke again.

Seeing Jiang Mushi also leave, Zheng frowned and looked at her husband, "Master, our family finally got together to have a meal recently."

"Madam, I think there is no need for us to eat at the same table in the future to avoid embarrassment." Jiang Zhitong sighed and his eyes fell on Zheng Yan'er.

The latter understood what Jiang Zhitong meant. Although he was unhappy, he still found a reason to leave.

Only Zheng and Jiang Zhitong were left at the dinner table.

"Master, I know you are angry, but Jinfeng Tower has already opened after all, and Sui Ning didn't..."

"Sui Ning is not angry because she is giving you face. As a mother, you are really pushing it too far?" Jiang Zhitong frowned helplessly, "Madam, if Sui Ning hadn't left just now, would you still use her name to say that all this is natural?"
