After His Majesty was reborn, the poor little girl in his previous life was spoiled to death

As soon as she entered Songshou Hall, Ning'er met a tall and slender maid in plain clothes, who was holding several books in her hands and was about to go to the upper room.

"Sister Manju." Ning Er greeted her, "It's rare to see you go out."

Manju hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes, the old lady has been feeling uneasy these days, so she asked me to copy some more scriptures to offer to the Buddha, in order to pray for the Buddha's blessing and for the Marquis to recover soon."

Ning Er understood and asked, "I just came back from outside and was about to pay my respects to the old lady. I wonder if she is available now?"

Agate knew that Ning'er was favored, and smiled when she heard this: "According to the time, the old lady hasn't served the meal yet, so it's a good time to have some free time."

She looked at Ning'er and said considerately, "I see that the young lady hasn't changed her clothes after coming back. Why don't you go back to your room to wash up and change your outer clothes before coming back? I'll also inform the young lady first."

This was exactly what Ning'er wanted. She was in a state of confusion at the moment. If she went over rashly, the old lady might find out something was wrong. It would be better for her to go back to her room and clean up.

While she was away, Lingzhi led the others to clean up the house inside and out. When she saw her coming back, she greeted her happily as if she hadn't seen her for a long time: "The girl is back."

Chuncao knew that the girl was in a bad mood at the moment, so she quickly gave her a look and continued, "It's only been a few hours, but you make it seem like you've been on a long journey."

Another maid came up to help Ning'er change her clothes and wash herself. Chuncao whispered to her, "Miss, earlier you asked me to bring Nanny Feng back first. She is still sitting in the side hall now. Should we ask her to come over?"

Ning Er said casually, "Let her go. She can go with me to report to the old lady later." She told Chun Cao, "When you see the old lady, don't tell her that I went to see the Marquis first."

It took only two cups of tea for Ning'er to finish packing. She looked normal now. Seeing that Nanny Feng had been waiting in the hall, she said politely, "I just took a short rest. Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

Inside Songshou Hall, the old lady was lying on the couch, with Xiuyu standing behind her, Feicui half-kneeling in front of her, and Agate holding a Buddhist scripture and explaining it softly to the old lady.

Although there were many people in the room, they were in good order without any noise. Ning'er walked lightly. Old Madam Zhu raised her head and smiled, "Ning is back. Is everything going well?"

Ning'er noticed that her attire was three times simpler than usual, with only some jade ornaments on her head, and she knew it was because the Marquis was fasting.

She smiled and said, "Thanks to the old lady, and fortunately to have Aunt Feng's experience and advice, everything is very appropriate."

Feng Ping had been holding his breath and keeping quiet, standing at the bottom of the hall with his hands down. Unexpectedly, he heard Ning'er's words and was surprised. He said hurriedly, "Miss, you are too kind. It's just my job."

The old lady seemed quite happy to see this. She said with satisfaction: "I didn't expect that you two would have a master-servant relationship. In this case, Feng Ping doesn't have a fixed position now, and you happen to be in need of an older person to serve you, so just let her follow you. Isn't it a bargain?"

Ning Er stood up and said with a smile: "In that case, Ning Er thanks the old lady."

In a few words, the two decided Feng Ping's future fate. She was still stunned and didn't come back to her senses for a while. Xiu Yu smiled and smoothed things over: "Madam Feng was so happy that she forgot to thank you."

Feng Ping was immediately shocked and hurried forward to kneel down and thank her: "Thank you, old lady. I greet you, young lady."

She didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, she would go from being an old servant in the mansion to a close-knit nanny for a young lady. She also didn't expect that Miss Ning would not refuse at all and would agree to it without hesitation.

She couldn't help but feel worried. God knew if the old lady would be so happy that she would ask her to follow Miss Ning back to Jiangdu. What hope would she have in the future then?

But no matter how she felt, she had no right to speak in Song Shoutang. She could only put on a smile and happily greet her new master.

Madam Zhu asked, "Did you meet the old lady at the Lin residence today? Is she doing well now?"

Ning Er said hurriedly, "Yes, Sister Lin took me to pay my respects to Old Madam Lin. She looked quite well and even came to greet the old lady. But her hair has turned completely white."

Madam Zhu smiled and said, "She is a few years older than me, but her life was hard in her early years, so she was quite worried. Now that she is older, her health is not so good. What does Miss Lin want to talk to you about?"

Ning'er gauged Madam Zhu's expression and slowly told her what she had prepared. She smiled and said, "I thought it was something urgent, but I didn't expect that Sister Lin wanted to invite me out to play."

"Half a month later, Madam Lin is going to take the girl to Chengguo Temple to worship Buddha. Since her sisters are not available, she wants to ask me to go with them. I am considering it and will come back to ask the old lady for instructions."

Madam Zhu said, "Oh? So that's the case. It seems that this girl is on good terms with you. Worshiping Buddha and offering incense is a good thing. Since she has solemnly invited you, you girls should go together."

She pondered for a moment, and then said, "Speaking of which, I also made a vow in front of the Bodhisattva. When Chongyan gets better, I will go to Chengguo Temple to fulfill my vow."

When Ning Er heard the old lady mention the Marquis, she felt sad when she thought about his current life or death. She was afraid that the old lady would notice something, so she hurriedly said, "The old lady is sincere and moved the heaven and earth. The Marquis will be safe and sound."

Madam Zhu looked at her for a few seconds, patted her hands, and said with gratitude: "The Marquis loves you, and you are also a grateful child. Let's go to see the Marquis together later. Chen Qixiangming said that he is much better today."

Hearing the old lady say this, Ning'er's heart was in her throat. Just as she was racking her brains to think of how to persuade the old lady to give up this idea without causing suspicion, there was suddenly a noise outside the door.

Madam Zhu frowned and was about to ask someone to go out and take a look when suddenly three or four maids and servants came in in panic, shouting, "Oh no, oh no! There's a fire!"

Everyone in the room was in chaos. Madam Zhu stood up suddenly and said, "Tell me quickly? What happened?"

A dusty servant hurriedly climbed up and kowtowed, saying, "Madam, there's a fire in Xixiyuan!"

"What?" Before Mrs. Zhu could even open her mouth, Ning'er asked in surprise, "Is anyone okay?"

She immediately realized that Xixiyuan, the small Buddhist hall! That strange mother Liu was imprisoned there. She couldn't let her die like this!

The servant said hurriedly, "The fire is so fierce that we can't take care of anything else. We just need to ask the old lady and the girls to take shelter."

Seriously speaking, although Songshou Hall is in the west, it is still quite a distance away from Xixiyuan, the westernmost part of the mansion. But water and fire are merciless, and most of the buildings in the mansion are made of wood. Once the water leaks, no one knows what will happen.

Ning Er was anxious, but the hall was in chaos, and no one would care about the life or death of a criminal woman. Xiu Yu said anxiously, "Madam, we should retreat quickly."

When Mrs. Zhu heard about the fire, she was anxious and scared. She nodded and said, "Yes, yes. Let's go to the front!" She suddenly thought of something and said to Xiuyu, "Go to the room and pack some things."

Xiu Yu understood as soon as she heard it. She called Jade and Agate and asked them to help the old lady leave. Then she turned around and went into the old lady's room.

In the chaos, no one noticed that Ning'er left quietly.

She ran all the way to the northernmost wing of her house, took out the copper whistle hidden in her arms, and blew it gently, producing a lifelike bird cry.

A moment later, the same bird song was heard outside the window. Ning'er quickly opened the window and said to the person outside, "Quick! Go to Xixi Hall! Liu Kui can't die!"
