The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down

Pei Shuo's move just now was clearly a test, and Xu Yao was no fool, so how could he not see that?

Unfortunately, Prince Pei is still too young. If he wants to test her, he should practice for another thousand years.

Xu Yao returned to the Liu family and went to report to Zhang first.

It was a rare occasion that Minister Liu was here. Xu Yao had been here for a long time, but he seldom saw Minister Liu. He didn't know what this old man was busy with usually, let alone talk to him.

Today was the first time I was so close to him and saw that he had the temperament of a scholar, with a short, neatly trimmed beard, a dark blue round-necked gown, and a light green jade hairpin in his bun.

Judging from his appearance and temperament, he is a gentle and elegant teacher. This is in line with the imagination of later generations about literati officials, who are considered to be very elegant.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, Xu Yao felt that this person was particularly disgusting.

First, Zhang asked Xu Yao if he was safe along the way.

It only takes half an hour to get from the Liu family to the palace. How dangerous could it be?

Before Xu Yao could say anything, Minister Liu said, "They are going to the palace, not to a dangerous place. Are you still worried that they will lose their lives?"

Zhang was obviously choked, but she still tried to maintain a smile on her face, "Master is right, but the two daughters entered the palace together, and there are no close maids to take care of them. I am worried that they will not be used to it."

Minister Liu snorted coldly, "You have raised your children too pampered. If they are lucky enough to marry the two princes in the future, the royal daughter-in-law must not be pampered."

From beginning to end, there is not a single word of care for his daughter, and he is preaching everywhere. With this kind of character, he is a complete chauvinist and self-righteous person. It is strange that he can please women.

Zhang endured and endured, Xu Yao could clearly sense her unhappiness. But Zhang still held back and nodded to Minister Liu, "Master is right, I will definitely teach you well in the future."

Minister Liu was satisfied and asked a few simple questions about irrelevant matters. Then he got up and left, saying that he was going to the study to read.

After Zhang and the others left, he asked Xu Yao, "Did anyone ever make things difficult for you two ladies at the palace gate?"

Xu Yao hurriedly shook his head, "No, everyone is very well behaved, no one is making things difficult for anyone else, and Madam Pei also went. They went in together, and Madam Pei is well-educated and well-mannered, and she comes from a noble family. With her taking care of them, I don't think anyone in the palace would dare to bully the two ladies."

Zhang didn't feel relieved after hearing this.

She also knew that there was no point in talking about such things with a maid, so she casually instructed Xu Yao to take good care of Liu Moyan's yard and let her go.

When the boss is not at home, it is natural for employees to slack off.

Xu Yao went back to Liu Moyan's yard and found that Chunlan and Chunyu had also gone out to fish, so he went to Chef Zhao's room.

Mrs. Zhao had an argument with someone that day, and not only did she get a broken head, she also sprained her foot. Now the wound on her head has healed, but her foot is still not completely healed.

The kitchen manager also knew that she was aggrieved, so he let her rest and recover.

When Mrs. Zhao saw Xu Yao coming, she was very happy. Quan'er also happily gave her the pine nut candy in her hand, "Sister, try it quickly. This is my new pine nut candy. It's delicious."

Xu Yao picked a small one and put it in his mouth, then touched her head and smiled. "Sister will give you some money, go to the kitchen and ask them to prepare some good dishes, so we can have something good tonight."

Quan'er was very happy to hear this and took the opportunity to ask her: "Can we eat fish?"

Quan'er is like a kitten and loves to eat fish, especially the braised fish made by the kitchen chef, which is his specialty.

Unfortunately, the chef is very expensive. If someone wants to ask him to cook this dish, he will never do it without paying a little more.

Xu Yao nodded and gave her five taels of silver.

Mrs. Zhao, the chef, hurriedly stopped him when she saw this: "The chef is the most greedy. Others only give small change, but you gave so much this time. You may not even know how much you will give next time."

After hearing what she said, Xu Yao took the silver back and gave Quan'er two taels of silver again.

"Is this possible?"

In fact, Chef Zhao felt that two taels of silver were too much. One tael of silver could buy a lot of good food outside. Seeing that Quan'er was full of anticipation, she could only suppress her reluctance and let Quan'er go to the kitchen.

After the others left, Xu Yao took the opportunity to check Chef Zhao's ankle. Finding that there was no problem, he smiled and chatted with her for a while.

Mrs. Zhao was filled with emotion. "When something happened, you were the only one who really cared about me. Those who were close to me on weekdays always said they were my good sisters, but now that I have sprained my foot, they all want to take my place. How many of them really care about me and my circle?"

Xu Yao smiled softly when he heard her say that, and then asked her quietly: "Since you are not happy with your job, have you ever thought about leaving the Liu family?"

Leave the Liu family?

Chef Zhao was stunned for a moment. This was something she had never thought of before.

Where can I go if I go out now?

Seeing Xu Yao didn't say anything, Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but said, "You haven't seen the outside world. I'm a widow with a little girl. If I don't have a man to protect me, those ruffians and lazy guys will come to knock on your door. Life is really too difficult. Although I feel a little wronged staying in the mansion, the Liu family is also a well-behaved family. It doesn't matter if I suffer a little grievance occasionally. I won't worry about my life."

As long as the Liu family can take good care of her and let her raise her daughter, it would be a great favor to her.

When Xu Yao heard her say this, he realized that he had taken it for granted.

She originally thought that since Chef Zhao was injured and had no one to take care of her, she would probably become discouraged with this place and want to leave.

I didn't expect that things were different from what I thought. As a modern person traveling through time, I cannot use modern thinking to consider the living conditions of an ancient person.

In the current environment, you can only move freely outside if you have certain skills.

Although Chef Zhao has some cooking skills, she has no other skills and will always be targeted by those idle wild men outside. Not only will she be taken advantage of by others, but there may also be people with bad intentions who will sell her daughter.

Thinking in this way, a family like the Liu family is indeed a good place to belong.

This is also the way of survival for small people.

Xu Yao gave up the idea of ​​taking them away, but when he thought of Pei Shuo's test today, he felt a little scared again.

It’s not that I’m afraid of Pei Shuo, but since Pei Shuo has noticed something, those people from Yuan Qingzong will come sooner or later.

Among them are the seven or eight enemies whose origins were unknown a few days ago.

Xu Yao is not afraid of fighting or killing. He has killed so many people in the apocalypse that he can't even count them.

But after finally living a peaceful and stable life, she just wanted to lie down and not walk with swords every day.

The owner of Xu Yao's body has killed many people. It is unknown when he will take revenge on those people.

This is such a huge pit.

What should she do to avoid this trouble?

Just as Xu Yao thought, Yuan Qingzong's men appeared in the capital.
