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

Xu Yao packed up and went to meet Mother Qin.

I thought there was something important going on, but I found that there were seven or eight maids in the yard, including Chunyu and Chunlan. They seemed to be from the two ladies' yards. What were they gathering here for?

When Madam Qin saw that everyone was gathered, she said, "There will be a female guest coming to the mansion today. We are short of staff, so you are the only ones who are free. Madam will arrange for you to serve in the front. You should know some rules and don't embarrass Madam, otherwise... no one in this yard can protect you."

The maids nodded in agreement, and no one dared to make Mother Qin angry. Xu Yao had never expected that his boss would be on a business trip and he would have to be transferred to a seconded department to work.

From this perspective, her boss is not Liu Moyan, but Zhang. Liu Moyan is at most a department manager!

A group of maids followed Madam Qin's instructions and Xu Yao was assigned the task of serving tea and water. Perhaps because she was too dull, she was not allowed to serve and was asked to wait outside to run errands.

Xu Yao breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't have to face the bosses directly, so he could take the opportunity to slack off.

About an incense stick of time later, Xu Yao, who was standing outside the yard, heard a woman's happy laughter coming from the gate.

"Oh my dear sister, I miss you so much."

Does Teacher Feng know what I am saying?

Xu Yao couldn't help but look up and found that the person who came was a woman with fair skin and jewels. The woman was well-maintained and looked to be in her early thirties, with a charming look between her eyebrows.

But she was just the right amount of charming, not annoying, but rather the gentle and charming of a Jiangnan woman. She came up and held Zhang's hand, her eyes sparkling with water, her joy hidden in her tears.

"After all these years, my sister still looks the same as before, unlike me, who has aged beyond recognition."

Zhang was a little sad at first, but when she heard her say that, she couldn't help laughing and poked her head with her finger: "You are the only one who can talk, which shows that my good brother-in-law dotes on you very much, which makes you even more unruly."

Madam Zhang Er smiled sweetly: "Sister is always teasing me, you have to save some face for me in front of your niece."

Then he pushed the girl next to him in front of Zhang and said, "This is Hui Niang, Hui Niang, come and meet your aunt."

The girl, wearing a yellow dress with magnolia embroidery, came forward and greeted Zhang. She looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, but she was already a beautiful girl.

When Zhang saw her, she happily grabbed her hand and said, "My Hui Niang has grown so big."

As he said this, he took off the jade bracelet in his hand and put it on her.

Han Huiniang looked at her mother and saw her mother nod. Then she thanked Zhang and put on the jade bracelet.

Zhang happily pulled the person into the house to reminisce about the past. Xu Yao stood outside the door and listened carefully, only to find out that the person coming was Zhang's biological sister.

Her husband seemed to be an official who was sent to work in a remote area. He had been a county magistrate for several years and was now finally able to be transferred to the capital.

This time he came back, on the one hand, to report on his work in Beijing, and on the other hand, to find a husband for his daughter.

Xu Yao was surprised. He was only fourteen years old, and he was already in a hurry to get engaged?

Zhang was also surprised, but it was not appropriate to say this in front of Hui Niang, so she asked someone to take Hui Niang out to play in the garden in her house.

I don't know if it was Xu Yao's illusion, but when Hui Niang passed by her, she felt someone staring at her for a long time. When she raised her head, the sight disappeared again.

"Logically, you should be engaged at this age, but from your tone, you seem to be very anxious. What happened?"

Zhang knew her sister well. If the matter was not urgent, she would not rush to talk about serious matters when she came to the house.

Madam Zhang sighed and wiped her tears with a handkerchief. "I have no choice. You don't know that my mother-in-law is a fool. She...she actually wants to marry Hui Niang to her nephew's grandson."

When mentioning this matter, Mrs. Zhang Er was filled with resentment. Because of this matter, she suffered so much injustice and was forced by her mother-in-law for various reasons, but she would rather die than let her daughter marry into such a family.

"If the boy from the Qiu family is a good one, how could I not want to marry him? Sister, you don't know that the Qiu family has been in decline since the death of my uncle. The nephew was raised by his mother to be a waste. Not only did he squander the family property, but he also learned to beg for money. My mother-in-law was fooled by the mother and son. In order to support the Qiu family, she actually wanted to marry Hui Niang to them so that she could support the Qiu family in the future."

Madam Zhang Er was so angry that she spat several times: "She said that as long as the Han family supports her, the nephew of the Qiu family will definitely pass the exam and have a bright future. Pah, everyone knows that her nephew is lustful and immoral. A few days ago, he was beaten up because he couldn't pay for drinking in a brothel. In the end, it was my husband who spent money to equalize things.

With such a piece of shit, that old woman still had the nerve to let my Hui Niang marry him. Damn it!

Zhang covered her mouth and told her to be careful. After scolding her, Zhang Er Niang felt better and said, "Sister, it is only here with you that I dare to tell the truth. You don't know how I have been living these days. The Qiu family is shameless. In order to force her to agree to the marriage, they bribed the maid and wanted to make it a done deal. If it weren't for Hui Niang's cleverness, she would have fallen into his trap."

What’s even more hateful is that the mastermind behind this is actually the mother-in-law.

Even after the truth was revealed, the mother-in-law still made a fuss, saying that they were unfilial and didn't care about the life and death of her family, which forced her to take this desperate measure. She also said that if Hui Niang didn't marry him, she would be unfilial.

Fortunately, the father-in-law was innocent. While her husband was about to return to Beijing to report on his work, he asked them to bring people to the capital first, and asked Madam Zhang Er to find a marriage for her daughter in the capital as soon as possible.

Now my father-in-law is staying in his hometown with my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law can't do anything at the moment, and there's no guarantee that she won't cause trouble again. My father-in-law means that we should find a way to arrange the marriage as soon as possible.

As for the Qiu family, they will be dealt with separately.

When Xu Yao heard this, he sighed that there were so many melons in the ancient inner house that he couldn't eat them all, and they were all very delicious.

Maybe she can eat other melons.

Suddenly I don’t want to leave. What’s going on?

Zhang comforted her sister and told her not to worry. "Since she is my niece, I will definitely help her find a good husband. Tell me, what kind of son-in-law do you want to find for her?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Zhang Er paused.

"Sister, to be honest with you, my Hui Niang's talent and beauty are not the best in the world, but she is one of the best. She can't compare to your Mo Yan, but she can always compare to those outside."

Zhang raised her eyebrows slightly. Is he trying to pick a rich and powerful family?

"Do you have someone in mind?"

Madam Zhang Er shook her head and said, "Sister, I heard that all the noble ladies above the fifth rank in the capital have entered the palace for the selection?"

"Do you want to send your daughter into the palace?" Zhang couldn't believe it. This was not something you could do as you wished.

"No, no, please don't misunderstand me. I am not an ungrateful person. How dare I imitate a royal family member?"

"Then what do you want to do?"
