Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Wang Jialuan ran away happily, carrying the "guarantee" given to her by Wang Xifeng, and went straight to find Yu.

This time the black cat did not follow because it was getting late and its "routine" was to get ready for bed.

The shrike didn't go either, as it rarely flies around at night.

This time, the target was the Night Owl.

It was almost the second watch. Wang Xifeng, who had studied the Three Character Classic with Aunt Meng under the lamp, finished washing and finally fell back into bed.

It was An'er's turn to be on duty tonight, so the black cat was well fed and the parrot was well fed. Seeing that both the cat and the bird had closed their eyes, An'er quietly left.

The wings flapped and made a sound.

Wang Xifeng lifted the curtain, walked to the window and looked out.

A night owl, perched on a branch, called softly.

Outside, An'er suddenly stood up, walked out of the room quickly, went around to the back, stretched out his hand to chase the night owl, and whispered:

"The girl has just gone to bed after a tiring day, and you come to make trouble! Do you believe that I will have someone catch you tomorrow and make bird soup out of you?"

Wang Xifeng quickly stepped aside and smiled with her lips pursed.

The night owl flew higher up a branch, called a few more times, and then flew away.

An'er listened carefully and found that the room was still quiet. He breathed a sigh of relief and went back.

The black cat lay nearby watching the show and meowed.

The parrot nodded and quacked, "Hello, An'er!"

Wang Xifeng glared at them: "You guys need to tell me?!"

"Better than Ping'er." The parrot thought for a moment and added.

Recalling Ping'er's intelligence and kindness in her previous life, Wang Xifeng hesitated for a moment before whispering, "Ping'er is not bad either."

The parrot and the black cat both looked away.

Wang Xifeng sighed deeply and softly, fell back on the bed, and murmured, "If I had Ping'er's character, I might not have been so miserable..."

The black cat couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so it squatted down and meowed at her several times.

Wang Xifeng laughed: "I have to live too.

"She was raised by her parents, so no matter how well I treat her, it's just the way I treat a servant.

“It’s not wrong for her to struggle to find a way out for herself.

"Why did you, King Qin Guang, punish me to death, yet sent you to follow me? Isn't it because I kill people without blinking an eye?

"Ping'er is just a servant girl after all, it's normal for her to not want blood on her hands.

"Come on! I know what you mean.

“I won’t bring her with me when I enter the palace!

"I'll find an opportunity in the next few days to find another way for her."

The black cat then lay down again and closed its mouth.

The parrot looked at her curiously: "They are plotting against you, aren't you plotting against them in return?"

"Those bunch of idiots, do they think they can plot against me?" This time Wang Xifeng really yawned, lay down, and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, early in the morning.

Wang Xifeng still got up at five in the morning to practice standing, boxing and stick techniques.

Aunt Meng did not get up, but asked for leave: "I was a little uncomfortable because of the heat yesterday.

"Cheng Hui, please do as you please in the morning.

"The lessons will continue in the afternoon. The lessons missed in the morning can be made up in the evening."

When Yu heard the news, she was very happy and wanted to find a doctor first, but Aunt Meng refused again.

Wang Xifeng smiled and covered for her: "Aunt asked for leave on the third day after she came, and my aunt went to see a doctor. If the news gets out, it will look bad.

"It's just that it's a bit stuffy in my room. Auntie, who is used to staying in the palace, may not be able to stand it. I'll ask Ping'er to fan you in the afternoon."

Yu felt embarrassed and blushed.

Although the rules in the rooms of the two sisters Feng and Luan are the same, the staff seems to be the same as well.

But in Wang Xifeng's room, only Ping'er and An'er, left by her mother, were useful, and the others could only do some rough work.

Wang Jialuan had two first-class maids, four second-class maids, four servant maids, and four servant old women, all of whom were diligent and smart.

Even among Wang Jialuan's second-class maids, there was one who was originally Wang Xifeng's person. Because she was really skillful, good at sewing and combing hair, Wang Jialuan insisted on taking her away.

Now that Wang Xifeng had said that her room was so stuffy that she even needed a maid to fan her, it was really a slap in the face for her as the head of the household.

"How can this be possible?" Yu forced a smile, "Forget it, your sister is still young, she doesn't need so many people.

"Then Ru'er originally followed you. She is good at sewing, and you are getting married soon, so you need to prepare a lot of clothes. Let her come back.

"How about I give you another little girl, Yier?"

Wang Xifeng was surprised and agreed immediately.

This seems to be the Wang family's plan to place a spy next to her.

But what does it matter? She is not going to enter the Jia Mansion anyway, and the palace does not allow four maids to enter!

Seeing that Wang Xifeng was not only not dissatisfied but even happy, Yu Shi felt relieved, but at the same time, she couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous of her.

Because he acted decisively, he immediately called the two maids over and pointed at Yi'er and ordered: "Go and serve Aunt Meng first. If you take good care of her, your lady will reward you."

Then he smiled and said to Wang Xifeng, "I didn't know you had a day off today.

"I heard that the weather is hot and the old lady of the Jia family is not feeling well. I was going to take your sister to visit her early in the morning.

"Since you have nothing to do, why don't you go over and relax?"

Wang Xifeng looked hesitant.

Yu tried her best to encourage him, and found an excuse to say, "I wonder how Yuanchun's aunt taught her? Why don't you go and take a look?"

Wang Xifeng immediately pretended to be heart-throb.

"Go! Sister, we are together!" Wang Jialuan, who came after hearing the news, was given a few harsh looks by Yu before she started to "persuade" her.

But he held Wang Xifeng's arm tightly, and pinched her hard under the cover of his sleeve.

Wang Xifeng groaned in pain, glared at the little girl, and then reluctantly agreed: "Okay! But Aunt Meng said that there will be classes in the afternoon, so I must be back before lunch."

"We are going to visit a patient, not to go sightseeing, so we will just sit for a while and then go back." Yu was full of smiles and ordered the servants to go and look for the car.

Wang Xifeng went back to her room and changed her clothes for going out, then went to Aunt Meng's room. In front of the shrewd-looking little maid Yi'er, she pretended to be concerned and gave her a few words of advice.

Turning around, he called out to Yi’er again, “Auntie has strict rules. If you quarrel with her and get beaten and scolded, I can’t save you.

"Just be obedient and serve us carefully, and don't cause any trouble for our family."

These two sentences frightened Yier so much that his face turned pale.

Leaving An'er behind to "teach the rules" to the low-key and quiet Ru'er and to look after the house, Wang Xifeng only took Ping'er with her and went to the Jia Mansion with Yu.

Wang Jialuan looked annoyed and anxious. She just wanted to ride in the same car with her cousin, but her mother held her hand tightly and said with a smile: "We are mother and daughter together."

He quickly squeezed into the first car.

Wang Xifeng, smiling gracefully, took Ping'er to the back carriage.

Just right and spacious.

Standing in the distance and watching the three women get on the car and leave, Wang Ziteng stroked his beard and frowned.

Madam Wang, who was leaning on a crutch beside him, was slightly displeased: "Don't worry. Your elder sister is very sensible. Since the Jia family is sincere, they will definitely do a good job."

Wang Ziteng was silent for a while, then he gently shook his head: "After thinking about what Feng Yatou said to Luan Er yesterday, I always feel that it makes sense."

"Of course it makes sense!" Old Madam Wang knocked the ground twice with her cane. "If we were not subordinates of the late crown prince back then—

"Just look at the two steps that little Feng took just now. Although she is still young, she will grow up to be a rare beauty in two or three years!

"Yuanchun of the Jia family is well-educated, but in terms of appearance, figure, eloquence, and personality, she is not even worthy of carrying shoes for Feng girl!"

As he said that, he glared at Wang Ziteng fiercely and said, "I'm useless, and you're useless too!

“Your eldest sister was very affectionate and showed no mercy when she asked us for someone.

"But as subordinates of the late crown prince, how could the Jia family have the confidence to send someone to the palace, but we two mothers can't find out!"

Speaking of this, Wang Ziteng's face darkened.

However, he was the head of the family and a man, so he didn't have the face to complain like the old lady.

However, what cards does the Jia family have that have not been revealed?

On the willow tree beside the two men, a shrike was holding onto a branch tightly, not moving.
