Chapter 66

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

Yu Linglong looked at the two maids helplessly . In just a few days, even Xuan Cao and Ling’er had such a good impression of Xiao Ying, but it seemed that she was still a bit late to start .

It seemed that even Xuan Cao and Ling’er felt chilled by the time she had made an example of her .

Yu Linglong beckoned for the two maids to come over . Xuan Cao and Ling’er put down their work and stood beside Yu Linglong obediently .

“You two are not young anymore . How do you look at things only on the surface? Is it possible that you thought she was a good person because she was diligent and gave you a few candies?”

Both Xuan Cao and Ling’er were startled, and their confused eyes stared at Yu Linglong blankly .

“You two heard it just now . This Xiao Ying won the little maids over after entering the yard and taking the initiative to sweep the yard . You don’t want to think about why? Do you really think she is just a kind-hearted person?”

Ling’er reacted first: “Miss, what do you mean, does she have another plan?”

Xuan Cao also hesitated and said, “At first, I felt she was a little strange . The job of sweeping the yard is tiring and unpleasant . Why did Xiao Ying take this job as soon as she came? Later, I saw that she worked hard and had a good relations.h.i.+p with others . Well, I didn’t take it seriously . ”

Yu Linglong sneered and said, “She worked hard? This girl is really kind!”

Was it possible that this maid who came from Mu s.h.i.+’s yard, but fell into the hands of an unfavorable concubine to do rough work, had no idea?

She dragged her fingers across the clear-textured rosewood tabletop, but her faint voice was cold: “Think about why everyone else is doing needlework in the room, or helping in the kitchen, but Xiaoying is willing to suffer from the wind and sun in the yard? She wooed the little maid to inquire about the news because the little maid in our yard was bought from outside . Without so much scheming and caution, and just a few pieces of candy, she can find out a lot of news . ”

These few words made Ling’er’s face flush, and she lowered her head and whispered: “I’ve been careless . ”

Yu Linglong continued: “While cleaning the yard, she can justifiably see who is coming and going, and she can even see the every move of Lord Xu . Why should I keep such a person? So she can report back to the old lady?”

Xuan Cao was shocked, and she also looked ashamed: “It’s my fault, I didn’t expect this layer . ”

Yu Linglong gently shook her head: “I don’t blame you . One of you is young and the other has not experienced the pickles of these big houses . You considered her a good person only from looking at her sweet words and hard work, and I can’t blame you . But since we live here, we should pay more attention to everything . Don’t be sold and help people count their money!”

Xuan Cao and Ling’er lowered their heads convincingly: “We will remember . ”

Yu Linglong thought for a while and then said, “The remaining three will probably be honest after today’s affairs, but don’t neglect them . Look at them more closely . Take that Tong Hua out of the kitchen . You two will handle everything I eat . ”

Xuan Cao and Ling’er responded in unison: “Yes . ”

…

The weather was getting hotter day by day, and there was nothing happening lately . Yu Linglong was too lazy to go out . Although this ancient house was a bit narrow and short, it had a great advantage: it was warm in the winter and cool in the summer . Now, it was hot as fire outside, but the room was very shady . The one or two hours afternoon was still a bit difficult, so Yu Linglong chose to take a nap at this time .

She was asleep this afternoon, and she could not hear the sound of someone walking outside and the low voice of a maidservant . She was speaking very fast, and it seemed that something major had happened .

Yu Linglong was always alert, but her voice was very low, so she did not wake up .

When she opened her eyes, there was still a scorching sun outside the edge of the window . It seemed that she hadn’t slept for long . This was the hottest time of the day .

She frowned slightly, got up, and walked out . She said as she walked: “Who’s outside?”

Xuan Cao came in: “Has the young lady woken up? It was a maid who was running errands from the second door . She said that someone brought you a gift . ”

Yu Linglong couldn’t help feeling angry . In ancient times, she had no relatives and no friends . Who would give her, the daughter of a commoner, a gift? She knew in her soul, it must be that c.o.c.kroach who she couldn’t kill .

“No! Where did they bring it from? Take it back!”
