"Ma'am, ma'am."

Yinhuan rushed into the yard and said with a smile, "Madam, the housekeeper has hired about 20 new maids and said that we can get one for the fourth room, which will just fill the vacancy left by Qingzhu."

Su Xuqing raised her head and smiled, "That's a good thing. With one more person, you and the other girls can be more lazy."

Yinhuan walked up to Su Xuqing with a smile, "Madam, the housekeeper asked you to pick a maid that you like. If you don't go quickly, you can only choose the ones left by the other three houses."

Su Xuqing closed the medical skills and slowly stood up, "Then let's go and take a look together."

Shen Xuanheng suddenly sat up from the rattan chair, "Madam, can I go with you?"

"Ok?"

Su Xuqing turned her head and asked with narrowed eyes: "Why, my husband wants to pick a maid he likes."

Shen Xuanheng sat back on the spot after hearing this. He closed his eyes and shook his head gently, "Just pretend I didn't say anything."

Su Xuqing covered her mouth with her hands and smiled, then led Yinhuan out the door.

Sitting on the rattan chair, Shen Xuanheng opened his eyes a little, stared at the peach blossoms above his head and pondered his chin.

"One in twenty chance, it shouldn't be such a coincidence."

In the front yard of the palace, twenty-one maids stood in two rows. Xue Tao changed her appearance and blended in with them. Compared with her previous heroic appearance, she now looked like a beautiful girl from a small family, and was even more likable.

"This old servant has met Madam Nine."

Su Xuqing and Yinhuan came over together, and the old butler hurriedly bowed.

"The housekeeper works hard for the palace every day, so there is no need for so many etiquettes."

Su Xuqing raised her hand with a gentle and kind smile.

Xue Tao's eyes narrowed as she looked at Su Xuqing. This was the wife of Prince Shen Xuanheng of Zhennan. The person Xu Younian was willing to risk his life to kill?

He looks very friendly and doesn't put on airs.

The housekeeper pointed at the maids and said with a smile, "Madam, the old lady has told you to choose the maids first. If you find one you like, take it to the fourth room to serve."

Su Xuqing's eyes swept across the faces of the many maids one by one. These maids either did not dare to look at her directly or were eager to try. Only one maid who looked like a beautiful girl from a small family looked at her thoughtfully.

"It's her."

Su Xuqing stretched out her hand and pointed in the distance, and Xue Tao was stunned for a moment.

Seeing this, the housekeeper waved at Xue Tao and said, "Why are you just standing there? Hurry up and thank the Nineth Madam. Madam is kind and you will definitely have an easier time following her than with others."

Xue Tao's scalp tingled when he heard this.

She just wanted to spend her days in the palace, to get a job that no one cared about, but out of all the other people, Madam Nine chose her...

Although she changed her appearance, her face shape and facial features could not be changed, so she still looked somewhat similar to before...

If this were recognized by the prince or Su Xuqing, wouldn't it be a complete disaster?

Xue Tao walked out reluctantly and bowed.

"Your servant Hongtao greets Madam Nine...Your servant..."

Xue Tao was racking her brains to find a reason to persuade Su Xuqing to change her candidate, but the maid beside Su Xuqing suddenly ran over with a smile and took her arm.

"Hongtao, my name is Yinhuan, and I'm the Madam's personal maid. From now on, you will follow me and work in the Fourth Chamber. Our Madam is very kind and never beats or scolds maids. It would be miserable if you were assigned to the Second Chamber. You would be beaten for no reason. Last month, two maids in the Second Chamber had their legs broken because they broke a porcelain bowl."

Xue Tao was shocked and quickly swallowed her words. By comparison, it seemed that being assigned to Su Xuqing was not a bad thing...

"Then... I'll have to trouble Sister Yinhuan to teach me..."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Su Xuqing looked at Yinhuan's enthusiastic and cheerful look and smiled knowingly. It seems that experiencing some things can have a great impact on a person's personality.

Yinhuan used to be timid and timid, so she would never dare to talk to others like this.

Back in her own courtyard, Su Xuqing sat next to Shen Xuanheng. She reached out and scratched his nose and said, "Husband, the maid has brought her back. Do you want to see her?"

Shen Xuanheng closed his eyes and smiled, "I'd better not watch it. What if the lady gets jealous?"

Su Xuqing hit him on the shoulder angrily, "The maids are watching here, what nonsense are you talking about."

"Just kidding, just kidding."

Shen Xuanheng slowly opened his eyes and was shocked when he saw Xue Tao's face. Although Xue Tao looked a lot different from when they met yesterday, he still recognized her at a glance.

For a moment, he was speechless. What kind of incredible luck did his wife have that she actually picked the most troublesome one to come back.

"How is it? Doesn't it look very good?"

Su Xuqing's eyes were curved like crescent moons, and she seemed very satisfied with her choice.

The corners of Xue Tao's mouth twitched, and she wished she could go back an hour ago and make a fierce face for herself.

Shen Xuanheng's eyes twitched, and he forced a smile and said, "It's OK, as long as Madam likes it."

Su Xuqing smiled slightly, and told Yinhuan to start teaching Hongtao the rules of the mansion, and then the couple continued to sit under the peach tree to kill time.

After a while, Yinhuan brought Xue Tao back to the yard, who was squatting with a tray with a teapot and hot tea on it.

Yinhuan said with a smile: "Madam, Taozi learns very quickly, let her make tea for you."

Xue Tao smiled stiffly, put the teapot on the table and started to make tea.

Shen Xuanheng's eyes moved, and then he said to Su Xuqing: "Madam, I have already informed the Ministry of Justice to clear out the owner of the Bloody Clothes Tower."

Xue Tao's hands trembled when she heard this, and she almost spilled the tea.

There was a hint of doubt in her eyes. It seemed that Liang Heng really did not tell the Prince of Zhennan the truth.

Su Xuqing didn't care much about the medical skills, and said calmly: "The Blood Robe Building will definitely not kill me for no reason. There must be someone behind the scenes. If you catch him, remember to leave him alive, find out the mastermind behind the scenes and let him go. There is no need to kill him."

Hearing this, Xue Tao was about to cry. Madam Nine was such a good person, she was simply the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva!

Shen Xuanheng looked at Xue Tao's expression from the corner of his eye, then smiled and said, "That host is just a small shrimp. She should have a big fish, but before I weave a fishing net to catch the big fish, let this small shrimp jump around. When I finally catch the big fish ashore, it's okay to throw the small shrimp into the river."

"Well, it's up to my husband to handle this matter. I don't care about these things."

Su Xuqing flipped through the medical books and spoke gently, "I will just study medicine and cure your illness as soon as possible, so that you can stay with me for a long, long time."

Xue Tao's eyes were moist. Madam Jiu was such a loving woman, but she actually sent someone to kill her. This was a heinous crime! And that Xu Younian, he was worse than a pig or a dog!

"Why are you crying?"

Yinhuan was startled to see Xue Tao's eyes welling up with tears and asked quickly.

Xue Tao wiped her tears and said awkwardly: "It's nothing, I was just a little too nervous."
