Little Red opened her mouth wide, ”So Miss could tell at a glance.”
”Then …” Xiao Hong became anxious, ”Then why did Miss ask them to clean the courtyard and rush over to do some rough washing.”
Ye Jinxiu shook her head. ”Isn't this just to alert the enemy?”
Mrs Xie is a shrewd person.
She purposely chose not to pick those two because she wanted Huaiyu to throw them into her yard. If she had picked her opponent at a glance, the Xie Clan would have suspected her long ago.
Or perhaps, the two people who were being stuffed by Huaiyu had been chased away by him to do some menial work and had no access to the house. If it fell into the ears of Madame Xie, she would also become suspicious of herself.
For the time being, he had to remain vigilant. Only this kind of attitude was sufficient to convince the Xie Clan.
Ye Jinsu instructed Little Red with a smile, ”From now on, you have to take care of everything I tell you. Don't let anyone see through to the end of the line.”
As she spoke, she stood up and casually opened a box. Inside was a pair of fine jade bracelets made from goat fat. The quality was excellent. Ye Jinsu smiled and said, ”Put it away.”
There were dozens of them.
Mrs Xie was a perfect person, and everything was delivered to her only after she had been observed by Ye Zhouze. He had made a lot of face, but he had also made a lot of money.
Ye Zheng had seen it before and was not afraid of anything going wrong afterwards.
Ye Jinru had crawled out of Xie Yu'er's stomach after all, and she hadn't even learned half of what the Xie Clan was thinking.
Thinking of this, Ye Jinsu calmly tilted her head as if she remembered something.
Xiao Hong spoke up worriedly from the side, ”Miss, what do we do with those two?”
Keeping it was a disaster, but not staying it was a warning.
Ye Jinsu withdrew her thoughts and raised her head to see Xiao Hong's worried face. She was actually amused.
”It's fine, just keep it,” Ye Jinsu said carelessly.
”Huh?” Little Red was astonished. ”If we keep them, wouldn't it cause trouble?”
Ye Jinxiu shook her head. ”I won't.”
All these years, the Xie Clan had climbed from an orphan girl to the position of the Madam of the Scholar's Manor. They relied on their tolerance to do so. He had lost to Ye Jinsu's mother by a full ten years before he was able to sit firmly in this position.
Now was the time to meddle, and these people who had been planted in her yard were not yet of use to her.
Since that was the case, Ye Jinsu couldn't be bothered to pull it out. There was no lack of smart people in this world.
Moreover, Xie Yu'er probably wouldn't be able to take care of her very much.
Ye Jinsu stood up and stretched. She smiled and said, ”Don't worry. Although we are forbidden to set foot here, it will not be peaceful outside.”
She buried a needle in Ye Jingru's heart.
This needle would always grind her to the point of bleeding in her heart, causing her to worry about it day and night.
In the Autumn Fragrance Courtyard, Madam Xie was just about to chase the girl who brought the medicine over. The medicine was getting more and more bitter every day, so she didn't want to drink more of it.
When Huaiyu, who had rushed back from the late spring courtyard, saw this, she personally took the medicine and brought it over to Lady Xie. ”Madam, everything's done with the First Miss's side.”
Lady Xie's closed eyes suddenly opened as she looked at Huaiyu, ”Is it done?”
Huaiyu nodded, ”First Miss picked the other two to serve her in the room. I stayed with the two girls, Yue and Zhong, and got a job sweeping the yard.”
It was as she had expected. Wife Xie rubbed her head and cautiously asked, ”She didn't notice anything strange, did she?”
”No.” Huaiyu shook her head. She had been observing Ye Jinsu the entire time and hadn't noticed anything out of the ordinary.
Only then did Lady Xie relax and a sinister smile appeared on her face. It was completely out of place for her to feign a weak appearance all year round.
