The Green Tea Lady was reborn as the God of House Fighting

She said this to someone, but that person seemed to be holding the cup, slightly absent-minded, and did not respond.

Aunt Du at the side smiled and flattered: "Madam, it is natural for you to handle these things with ease. If it were us... we would be confused!"

After hearing this, everyone smiled faintly and flattered the lady.

Only Aunt Zhu didn't laugh. After being scolded by the master for making a mistake in the last Mid-Autumn family dinner, she dared not get involved in such things again.

Aunt Xu didn't laugh either. She just lowered her head and looked at the blue butterfly pattern on her handkerchief, as if she could see flowers.

Therefore, her behavior seemed particularly abnormal.

Aunt Xu was always the kind of person who would smile before she even opened her mouth. Even when she was ridiculed by the lady, her eyes were gloomy but the corners of her lips were always curved.

This time, he seemed to be worried about something, with his eyelashes drooped and lost in thought.

A look of surprise flashed across the lady's face, thinking that she was acting like that on purpose for her to see.

She turned her face away and changed the subject to talk about Sanniang's marriage arrangements, which made Sanniang blush.

Yu Luan's eyes couldn't help but fall gently on Aunt Xu's absent-minded face. She lowered her eyelashes, as if thinking about something.

The night was pitch black. Qiu Xiu walked slowly from the door into the corridor and opened the door curtain with her fingertips.

There was only a girl sitting in the room. There was a candle on the coffee table in front of her. The candlelight was bright, illuminating the small space.

Qiu Xiu glanced outside the house. Although the maids had all gone to their respective duties, she still cleared her throat for the sake of safety, and spoke in a teasing tone.

"…Madam, it's so late, and you're still greedy. I went to the kitchen, but was scolded by the housekeeper!"

As she spoke, she opened the lid of the food box, took out a few light pastries, and gently placed them on the table.

The girl raised her fingertips to pick up one of the bowls of mung bean paste, scooped up a spoonful and took a small sip, then curved her lips and smiled gently.

"Sister Li's cooking skills are still the best!"

The maid took the opportunity to whisper back, "I heard that Madam Xu met her family twice a few days ago..." Qiu Xiu said something unusual, "It's not a big deal to meet her family...but she kept it a secret from the people in the mansion. It seems that she even bribed Mrs. Wu at the back door and went out in a carriage. But she came back in less than half a day."

As a concubine, the concubine was not allowed to go out easily. If she wanted to go out, she had to have a card from the master's family. Otherwise, if she was caught, the mistress would accuse her of "not staying at home" and a beating would be considered a light punishment. In serious cases, she would be tied up and sold.

Aunt Xu has been favored for many years, and her scheming and tactics are no less than those of the Madam... She shouldn't suddenly do such a foolish thing.

Hearing this, she couldn't help but frown slightly and asked in a low voice: "How many times has Aunt Xu met her family in these years?"

Although Aunt Xu was born into a brothel, she had a father, brothers and sisters at home.

After she became Master Ruan's concubine, these people naturally benefited from it. Although they were not formal relatives, those who came to the mansion to take care of things were treated well with good food and drink.

Qiu Xiu was an old man in the mansion. After hearing this, she pondered for a while and then answered clearly: "About five or six times... They were all during festivals and festivals. They were all seen after the master's approval. Everything was in compliance with the rules. This time... I don't know what happened."

The girl's eyebrows moved slightly, and then she asked in a low voice: "What unusual movements has Ruan Yuxi made recently?"

Qiu Xiu whispered back, "Since the Madam hired two nurses to raise her last time... the fourth lady has been confined in the embroidery building all day, learning the etiquette of entering the palace after getting married. I haven't heard her make any further moves."

The girl pondered for a moment, a mouthful of cool and sweet mung bean soup slowly flowed down her throat, the summer heat seemed to be reduced a lot, and she slowly gave the instructions.

"In a couple of days, find a reason to meet her two foster nurses and inquire about Ruan Yuxi's recent situation."

The maid frowned and replied, "Yes."
