The Green Tea Lady was reborn as the God of House Fighting
Chapter 27 Testing
She is the only master in Guiyue Pavilion, and the work she has to do is actually very limited.
Ruan Yuluan only let Qiu Xiu send the two of them to do some idle work such as making tea and watering flowers, and not to use them for other purposes for the time being.
One day, Qiuxiu went to the kitchen to serve dinner, and Dongyu went to collect clothes. The girl was sitting by the window reading a book, and heard a light sound, and then saw Cuiliu coming in with tea, her eyes darting around uncontrollably.
She pretended not to notice. The other party brought her tea, but still wanted to take a closer look at the book she was reading.
"What book are you reading, madam?" she asked enthusiastically.
Ruan Yuluan did not scold her for being unruly, and replied calmly: "Female training. Can you read?"
Cui Liu shook her head slightly embarrassedly and wanted to ask something more when the door creaked open and she saw Qiu Xiu coming back. Noticing Qiu Xiu's shifty look, she immediately frowned.
"Cui Liu, you haven't watered the flowers at the corner yet, go and water them."
Hearing this, the maid looked reluctant, but still responded and walked out slowly.
Qiu Xiu watched her figure walk away, then lowered her eyelashes, took out the cakes and replied in a low voice.
"My lady, your guess is correct." She whispered softly, "The nephew of Madam Liu married Chengchan, a capable maidservant of Madam Xu."
By this calculation, he can be considered as a member of Aunt Xu's faction.
The person she sent here was probably also instructed by Aunt Xu.
"Who is it?" she asked in a low voice, but in fact she already had a guess in her mind.
"It's Cui Liu." Qiu Xiu said softly. The master and servant looked at each other, and they both knew what was going on.
Ruan Yuluan had expected this, so it was not surprising. She just raised her eyebrows and asked, "Then Hongmei is innocent?"
Qiu Xiu said, "Hongmei was only brought into the mansion last month. She has no background and is not recognized by anyone in the mansion."
Then taking her along would be a way to conceal the truth.
The girl pondered for a moment, and when Qiu Xiu asked in a low voice what to do with Cui Liu, she shook her head slightly.
"She didn't do anything, and she sent him away for no reason." Ruan Yuluan saw it clearly, "It will only cause people to speculate..."
"Then..." Qiu Xiu frowned.
She lowered her eyelashes and said softly, "Don't worry about it. I have my own way."
After the Dragon Boat Festival, in mid-June, the Ruan family had an event that was not too small or too small - the wife's birthday.
If it's a big deal, concubines like them would just say a few congratulations and present gifts. If it's not a big deal, how to choose and prepare gifts to make the stepmother look favorably upon them is also an important matter.
Ruan Yuluan has always felt that if you give something, you should either not give it at all, or if you do give it, it should touch the heart of the person.
When she was sitting in the room, embroidering the sachet in her hand, Cui Liu sneaked into the room again while others were away, came up to the girl, and smiled ingratiatingly.
"Fifth Lady..." Her eyes fell on the sachet in the girl's hand, flickering slightly, "Is this a birthday gift for your wife?"
The girl hummed softly, not on guard against her, and said frankly: "I want to put some flower petals and spices in it, and hang it on my body, so that I can smell the faint fragrance."
Cui Liu smiled and praised: "My lady is really clever and skillful."
This time she learned her lesson. After Qiu Xiu entered the courtyard, she pretended nothing had happened and left quietly.
Qiu Xiuyuan
Before and after dinner, Qiu Xiu stretched out her fingertips and placed the food brought from the kitchen on the eight-immortal table, then leaned close to the girl's ear and whispered a reminder.
"Just now I saw Cuiliu quietly go out of the side door of the yard."
That side door was closer to Jinxiu Courtyard, so her destination was naturally clear to her.
"Her little cleverness," Ruan Yuluan said calmly, "will kill her sooner or later."
