The Green Tea Lady was reborn as the God of House Fighting
Chapter 130: The Intentions of Lady Xuanguo
"Shan'er," Chen closed the door as soon as she returned to her room, tightly grasped the hand of her trusted maid, and said with an unsteady breath, "You say... are Bai and Liu coming back to take revenge on me?"
Chen was filled with confusion.
Shan'er could only hesitate and say, "No way... they are dead. If Madam is scared, she can quietly go to the artificial lake at night to burn paper money for them to calm their resentment, and then everything should be fine."
Chen had no other choice. She had been having nightmares recently, dreaming about the bad things she had done in the past. She could only nod and give instructions for the evening sacrifice, asking Shan'er to prepare them quietly.
The sky was dark, it was three quarters past midnight.
The wife of Duke Xuanguo knelt devoutly in front of a statue of Bodhisattva, clasped her hands together, and muttered something.
After a while, she put down her hands and signaled the maid beside her to help her up.
"Madam, your legs are numb, right?" The maidservant Shu Xin, who was loyal and lively, could not help but whispered, "Madam is so pious that she came to the temple to pray so late at night..."
Shu Xin helped the woman out of the door, and then she asked calmly, "Do you know what I'm asking for?"
Shu Xin shook her head: "I don't know, and I don't want to speculate. I am Madam's maid, and my duty is to serve Madam wholeheartedly. Other things have nothing to do with me."
Lady Xuanguogong couldn't help but glance at her with approval. This maidservant had a clear vision and a clear mind. She was a good candidate.
She could only trust such a person. In the future... maybe she could train her to replace Mother Lin and be the chief steward around her.
"You are a smart person." Lady Xuanguogong said softly, "But I will explain it to you, and you can listen. The Duke is sick again, and he is a stubborn person... Even if he is sick or injured, he is unwilling to return home to recuperate easily. This time, I had to ask someone to find out."
Shu Xin then whispered, "Madam, are you praying for the health of the master? Madam and the master are living in harmony, you are truly kind-hearted."
In harmony? In fact, the two of them were not a loving couple... When she saw the harmony between Xu Ge'er and Ruan's daughter, and their eyes were full of affection, she finally knew what it looked like to truly like someone.
The young master was a romantic man, with concubines on both sides of the mansion. She didn't know how angry she was in secret.
But fortunately, everything is fine now. Only her son can inherit the title of Duke.
"Once the master is gone," she whispered, "the family will have to be divided. When the time comes, it won't be so annoying if we separate from each other."
Both wives in the first and second rooms were not easy to deal with. Back then, the two concubines, relying on their favor, coaxed their master into marrying their sons with ladies from high-ranking families, in an attempt to gain support from their father-in-law's family in the court, so that they could rise to prominence in the future and surpass themselves, Yin Xu.
But now, after all the twists and turns and spending so much effort on planning, the two big ones and the second one are still not even a hair away from Yin Xu's glorious military achievements.
She thought that the years of frustration were coming to an end and she would live a comfortable life in the future. The depression in her heart finally slowly dissipated.
It's also a hope.
Shu Xin followed her wishes and whispered in agreement: "Madam, you have finally come to an end after all the hardships... From now on, this huge mansion will only be inhabited by you, your son and your daughter-in-law. All other people who have nothing to do with it will have to move out!"
A satisfied smile could not help but show in the eyes of Lady Xuanguo.
"Do you know why Mother Lin was sent to the farm?" the woman whispered.
Shu Xin couldn't help but gently shook her head, and just smiled and gave her own answer: "I only know that Mother Lin must have done something wrong, so she was disliked."
"Yes," Lady Xuanguogong exhaled slowly. The image of Mother Lin crying and refusing to leave the house appeared before her eyes. A trace of disgust flashed across her face. "She is too selfish. She schemed for her daughter... and she schemed against me."
"Mother Lin is too undisciplined in her work." Shu Xin said slowly, "She was the wife's dowry and has been running the family business for many years, so she is considered respectable. But she can't see her own identity clearly, and she colluded with the two ladies behind the wife's back, embarrassing the new third lady."
A hint of approval flashed across Lady Xuan's eyes, "Is Yuluan doing well in the ancestral hall?"
