Chapter 82 The Woman
Taking advantage of the eldest lady's return, Jing Wu hurriedly found a reason to go home before the setting sun set.

Before leaving, she packed a few mooncakes by the way. She never expected that Dong Xiaoan would make mooncakes out of them. They were still puff pastry. Not to mention the taste, it was completely worthy of the five-star standard!

It will be August [-]th in more than a month, and Dong Xiaoan probably made this moon cake because of his emotions.

Although the Mid-Autumn Festival is also celebrated in this era, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is also a relatively important festival, there is no concept of "mooncakes".

The moon cake that Jing Wu recognized at a glance, in the eyes of Bai Xianyou, is probably a rather peculiar pastry.

On the way back to the front yard, she was quite surprised by the beautiful woman beside her.

When Ming Ming first met her, she was not an enthusiastic and proactive person, but when she met the gatekeeper of Zhining Courtyard, she was able to make friends with her with just a few words.

And just now, when she was about to leave Zhining Courtyard, the two of them clearly did not know each other's whereabouts for a while, but the beauty found her who was about to leave in a very short period of time, as if the entire Zhining Courtyard was panicking. Her tip-offs were mediocre, and she had obviously said that she was not familiar with Zhining Yuan before.

Jing Wu wondered, what kind of environment can create such a person and character?

At a loss, Jing Wu asked seemingly unintentionally, "Girl, where are your parents, are they also in Bai's house?"

The beauty smiled, and replied casually, "My servant used to be a street beggar, probably without parents."

"I'm sorry, beauty, I don't know." Jing Wu apologized awkwardly.

The beauty chuckled, "There's nothing to be sorry about. The servant girl has never owned it. It's much better than losing it halfway."

Then he changed the subject calmly.

"Girl, what do you want to eat tonight? The servant girl can cook."

Jing Wu was taken aback, "Don't, I struggle to use the stove, you are so small, how can I bully you."

Unexpectedly, when she heard this, she was a little annoyed.

Angrily retorted Jing Wu, "Girl, maidservant is only short, but maidservant is not small, maidservant is four years older than girl!"

But in Jing Wu's eyes, that angry look was still a short and cute loli, she couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud.

The beauty in front of her suddenly became vivid in her eyes, and even her heart relaxed. Even if she didn't believe in the beauty, she should believe in her father!
"Okay then, beauty...sister?" Jingwu couldn't help but be naughty.

The sudden banter caused the two of them to laugh all the way.

When they returned to the courtyard, Jing Xin and Lu Wu hadn't returned yet.

But having one more person by his side made Jing Wu feel a lot more at ease.

She took the mooncake out of the food box and gave one to the beauty, "It's filled with red bean, sweet but not greasy, try it."

The beauty didn't shirk it, and after taking it, she carefully wrapped it in a handkerchief and put it away.

"Why don't you eat it?"

The beauty's round face flushed, "Such a novel food, the maid wants to share it with Aunt Zhang, Aunt Zhang really treats the maid very well."

Jing Wu nodded, his lips moved slightly, and he wanted to say that if the beauty wants to eat, she can take it herself, and she can do it herself, there are not so many rules in her courtyard.

But after thinking about it, he swallowed the words and changed the subject.

She straightened her expression, "I was in Zhining Yuan just now, but what did you find?" This matter was the purpose of their trip.

Jiaren is much more exaggerated than her. As soon as Jing Wu said this, Jiaren searched around the room first, for fear that someone would eavesdrop.

After confirming her safety, she went to Jing Wu's side, and lowered her voice to talk to Jing Wu about what she just discovered.

"Girl, the eldest lady is indeed ill. Mrs. Zhang said that she had heard that the eldest lady coughed after walking out of the gate of the Zhining courtyard, and Amei, who was in charge of washing in the Zhining courtyard, said that she had seen Diancui secretly washing bloody clothes. A handkerchief. There is also the green dye of planting flowers, saying that the lady's room has been replaced with medicinal incense in the past few days."

"Miss, Da Furen hides her illness very carefully, I'm afraid it's not a good illness."

The clues of the beautiful woman are very detailed, but there is indeed enough evidence.

If you want to know more specifics, I am afraid that you will need to know the people who are close to the lady.

"Beauty, are you familiar with Yan's mother?"

"The servant girl is incompetent, Yan's mother is very cautious, and she can't say anything." Jiaren thought that Jing Wu thought she was talking about it, and they were all small roles in Zhiningyuan, so she couldn't tell much about it.

Jingwu didn’t explain.

On the contrary, it was a little surprising that both Jiaren and Yan's mother obeyed her father's orders, but they didn't know each other, but she didn't remind Jiaren.

……

Later, Jing Xin returned first alone.

At this time, Jing Wu had already finished three dishes and one soup with the help of Jiaren.

Seeing that Luwu hadn't come back, she roughly guessed that Luwu was probably, and was temporarily assigned by her father to do something.

As she got older, Luwu gradually stopped taking care of her, and she gradually realized that Luwu was really not her little mother...

Jing Wu then set aside another portion of the dishes on the plate to warm on the stove, and left it for Lu Wu.

"Girl, you can leave it alone, the maidservant will arrange the dinner, and the maidservant will serve you and the housekeeper for dinner." The beauty said naturally.

"No need." Hearing this, Jing Wu directly refused, and then pointed to the other copy left on the report. "That one is for you, you help me bring the food over, and come back to eat by yourself."

Although the relationship with the beautiful woman gradually became harmonious.

But she would not let Jiaren eat at the same table with her and her father, after all, even Luwu would never sit at the same table with them when there were outsiders.

At the same time, she is not used to having to be served food and food to eat, and the same is true for her father.

The beauty hesitated for a moment, seeing that Jingwu's words didn't sound polite or joking, so she didn't insist. After this afternoon, she was also hungry.

The two quickly placed the dishes and served the rice, and lighted all the candles in the house by the way.

Jing Wu sent the beautiful lady away and went to the courtyard to call Jing Xin for dinner.

Jing Xin responded cheerfully, and followed into the house.

"Today's dishes are good, my daughter's cooking skills have improved a lot." Regardless of the taste, Jing Xin praised first.

"Father, you haven't eaten yet..."

"It's delicious just looking at it." The daughter praised her daughter without reason.

Jing Wu was greasy on the surface, but he was still very happy in his heart.

……

"Father, I... Is that woman coming back?" Jing Wu asked suddenly, and before he could utter the word "mother", he replaced it with that woman.

In the afternoon, when she was eating melons in silence, the beauty inadvertently mentioned that the term of the fourth master of the Bai family in Jiangnan was coming soon.

She did the math, and it took six years to cut off the time on the road, and the outgoing officials of this dynasty have a six-year rotation, and Bai Siye should return to the capital to report on his work before this year.

And when Fourth Master Bai came back, it meant that the biological mother of her body would also come back.

Jing Xin put down his chopsticks, with a helpless expression on his face, "How did you hear about the beauty?"

It's like shooting yourself in the foot with a rock...

Jing Wu nodded, then shook his head quickly, "The beauty didn't say anything, I guessed it, Dad, do you have any contact with her?"

"You remember her?"

When Yan Ru left with Bai Siye's family, Jing Wu was less than two years old. It is basically difficult for normal children to retain memories of what happened before the age of three or four.

But Jing Wu is not a real child after all, although he is somewhat restricted by his body, his memory is still very vague.

But thinking about it hard, at least she knew that she had a mother.
