The Green Tea Lady was reborn as the God of House Fighting

Qiu Xiu couldn't help but feel uneasy when she heard this. She grasped the corner of her sleeve with her fingertips and whispered, "Then I'll go change into some clean clothes so I can see the madam."

She had spent so many years in the main courtyard, and it wasn't for nothing. She knew that the Madam wanted to see her at this time, and it was not a good thing.

In fact, what the lady said was "Tell her to come over immediately", but Mother Liu still turned a blind eye and let her go.

Qiu Xiu changed into clean clothes and came back. When she was about to leave, she heard the girl calling her softly.

"Sister Qiu Xiu, your hair is messy. Let me fix it for you."

Ruan Yuluan stood up, stretched out her fingertips to tuck up the loose black hair behind her ears, then moved closer to her and whispered something.

"It's just a few questions. My sister is a smart person, so she can handle it."

She is careful in her work and never leaves any evidence for anyone, even if it's just a coincidence. If you dig deeper, there will be nothing.

If nothing is found out, then there is no crime until proven guilty.

Qiu Xiu smelled the faint floral scent of the girl, and her heart slowly calmed down. She lowered her eyelashes and said "hmm" softly.

Mother Liu didn't hear this little detail.

She slowly walked into the flower hall. The ground was filled with the strong smell of spices, which was choking.

Qiu Xiu was used to smelling the fresh and elegant spices in Wu Niang's room, so when she suddenly smelled this fragrance, she felt a little dizzy.

But she still didn't show any sign of abnormality. She walked forward obediently, knelt down, and spoke in a respectful tone.

"This servant pays respects to the Madam."

After she finished speaking, she didn't hear the woman call her to get up for a long time. She didn't dare to move, and her forehead touched the ground lightly, and she felt a chill.

After a long while, Ji's voice was heard, slowly rising with an unclear meaning.

"Qiu Xiu, although you are from the main courtyard, you have served the Fifth Lady for so long... What do you think of her?"

Qiu Xiu raised her eyes and answered in a serious and gentle voice.

"Fifth Lady has a tolerant and gentle temperament. She is usually taciturn and timid. I serve her, but she doesn't talk to me very much. I... just do my duty."

There seemed to be nothing wrong with what he said, but Ji snorted coldly: "She didn't show any abnormality? For example, she expressed her opinion on the marriage of the Third Lady..."

Qiu Xiu took a deep breath, and couldn't help showing a bit of surprise between her eyebrows. She said frankly: "Opinion? Fifth Lady is still young, and she is still just a child. How can she have an opinion on my sister's marriage?"

The wife pressed on: "Does she usually ask you about the affairs of the main courtyard?"

Qiu Xiu pondered for a moment before shaking her head and saying firmly, "No."

"Oh?" The lady didn't know whether she believed it or not, or whether she was half-believing and half-doubting. She just frowned slightly and said in a calm tone, "What does Fifth Lady do on a daily basis?"

Qiu Xiu heard the relaxation in her words and did not dare to hesitate for a moment, and said it obediently.

"Mrs. Wu usually just reads some books like Thousand Character Classic and Hundred Family Names, or embroiders a few flowers. She is no different from an ordinary lady in the boudoir."

Ji lowered his eyelashes, his eyes fixed on her face, and he looked at her carefully for a few breaths. When he couldn't see anything unusual, he gently withdrew his gaze.

"... That time at Chanxin Temple," Qiu Xiu couldn't help but explain in a low voice for the Fifth Lady, "Although it was a coincidence that she ran into Madam Cao... But that was also because the Third Lady had done something wrong. I followed the Fifth Lady that day, and she was drinking tea in the side room, so she didn't see Madam Cao."

Ji narrowed her eyes slightly when she heard this. It was that the Third Lady had found out about Madam Cao's schedule herself and deliberately went to meet her without telling her sister... but because she was too excited, she made a fool of herself in front of Madam Cao?

The lady immediately felt that Nguyen Ngoc Phuc was a complete idiot.

The delicate little face of Fifth Lady appeared before her eyes, with her eyebrows lowered, looking obedient without any ambition.

When he spoke again, his tone was a little softer.

"I understand." She whispered, "Take these two pieces of jewelry back. I am old and ugly... I'd better leave them to the young ladies."
