Su Yue smiled and said, "That's good. I hope everyone can work hard and build the house as soon as possible."

After Su Yue and Liu Shan and Liu Qiang's families signed the document, Rendong glanced out the window and was surprised to find that it was almost dawn.

She quickly reminded him, "Girl, the sky is already turning pale, we have to go back quickly!"

Su Yue didn't expect time to pass so quickly. She first thought carefully to see if there was anything she had missed. After thinking about it, she felt that it was about time.

She said to Li Xiaomei and Li Cui, "Hurry up and pack your luggage, and come with us later.

Honeysuckle, our small kitchen has nothing. Do you grow any vegetables at home? If you do, pick some to prepare for one or two meals."

When Liu Shan and Liu Qiang heard this, they both rushed to say that they had some at home, and Rendong's mother and Li Cui'niang took immediate action. They picked a basket of cabbages, cucumbers and green onions from the backyard and stuffed them directly into Rendong's hands.

Liu Qiang even put the little white flour left in the house into a cloth bag and stuffed it into Ren Dong's pocket. After that, he patted Liu Cui's shoulder as she came out after packing her luggage and said, "Girl, you have to take good care of the girl."

Liu Cui nodded with red eyes: "I know, Dad, Mom, take care of yourselves!"

Liu Cui Niang was also reluctant: "Child, be careful!"

Seeing this, Su Yue said that if Rendong and the others missed home, she would give them a day off to go home and reunite with their families. The Liu family felt more relieved and grateful when they heard this.

Rendong took the two heavy baskets and took Liu Xiaomei and Liu Cui with her, reluctantly saying goodbye to her parents and uncle and aunt.

Seeing that everything was almost ready, Su Yue led everyone on the journey back to the Shangshu Mansion.

Along the way, Liu Xiaomei and Liu Cui were both excited and a little nervous in the carriage, and kept asking Ren Dong about the various rules and precautions of the Shangshu Mansion. Ren Dong patiently answered them one by one, which made them feel much more at ease.

Song Mingtao outside the carriage thought about it again and again and couldn't help asking: "Girl, when did you learn this ultimate martial arts?"

Although he didn't know martial arts, he knew that the girl's light movements when she performed light skills were definitely extraordinary.

Su Yue's eyes rolled. She had forgotten that Song Mingtao was originally the shopkeeper selected by the General's Mansion and he must have paid a lot of attention to her.

"Uncle Song, this is a long story. I learned all my kung fu from a chivalrous woman who traveled around the world.

She was injured at the time and happened to escape to my Qingyou Garden, so I took her in. She saw that I was being bullied by Su Yao and had no ability to protect myself, so she taught me this set of kung fu to repay her kindness.

Over the years, I was too foolishly filial, thinking that we were all family, and never thought of using these means to deal with them even when they were bullied."

Hearing this, Song Mingtao looked enlightened and sympathetic. He was silent for a long time before saying, "Girl, you have suffered a lot over the years."

The other three little girls in the carriage also stopped talking at this time. Rendong sighed slightly in her heart, lamenting how difficult it was for Su Yue.

Liu Cui and Liu Xiaomei looked at each other and sighed in their hearts. It seems that being the daughter of an official is not easy, and it is not as happy as they imagined.

Su Yue shook her head slightly and said firmly, "Uncle Song, that's all in the past. Now I have the ability to change everything. I will never let myself or the people around me suffer any injustice again."

In the backyard of Qingyouyuan, although Nanny Yang had just been on guard all night, she was not sleepy at all. At the moment, she was tense and kept looking at the dog hole in the backyard with great anxiety.

It's almost dawn, why haven't the girl and Honeysuckle come back yet?

Just as Nanny Yang was muttering to herself for the umpteenth time, she suddenly heard the sound of a carriage stopping outside the courtyard wall. Nanny Yang looked around and saw no one, so she immediately squatted down and stuck her head out of the dog hole.

When she saw that it was Song Mingtao in the driver's seat, Nanny Yang's tense heart immediately relaxed. She quickly crawled back into the dog hole, and then pretended to pick flowers while watching for wind.

Su Yue and others got off the carriage and entered the yard through the dog hole with ease.

Nanny Yang dropped the flower in her hand that had been crumpled to pieces and rushed over, her eyes full of concern: "Girls, I've finally got you back. Is everything going well?"

Su Yue smiled and nodded: "Madam Yang, don't worry, everything has been done."

Liu Xiaomei and Liu Cui, who were following behind Rendong, looked at the backyard of Qingyouyuan curiously. The more they looked, the more shocked they became.

It is worthy of being the backyard of a high-ranking official. It is many times more luxurious than their fenced yard, but they don’t know that this is just one of the many yards of the Su family.

Madam Yang was sharp-eyed and immediately noticed two strange women following behind Jin Dong. She looked at them curiously and asked, "Who are these two young ladies?"

Ren Dong introduced: "Mammy, this is my little sister Liu Xiaomei, and this is my cousin Liu Cui. From today on, they will come to Qingyouyuan to work."

Madam Yang looked at Su Yue, and Su Yue nodded, "Madam, I hired them. You should bring them in through the main courtyard, so that they won't be suspected by the maids."

Madam Yang nodded and said, "Don't worry, young lady. I know what to do."

Su Yue hadn't slept all night and now felt extremely sleepy. She planned to go back and take a nap first. However, Rendong followed Su Yue away carrying the two baskets of vegetables.

Liu Xiaomei and Liu Cui were left standing there uneasily, stealing a glance at Madam Yang from time to time.

Nanny Yang smiled kindly, "You two, come with me."

Liu Cui and Liu Xiaomei followed Nanny Yang obediently, and after passing through a small door and making a long circle, they finally arrived at the gate of Qingyou Garden.

Liu Cui and Liu Xiaomei saw a wooden sign at the gate of the Su family's courtyard stating that no outsiders or dogs were allowed to enter.

Because their father could read and taught the children in his spare time, they were able to recognize these words.

But they were very curious as to why there was such a wooden board at the door.

After Nanny Yang knocked six times in a regular pattern, a maid came to open the door. When the maid saw it was Nanny Yang, she was visibly stunned.

When she was cleaning the backyard not long ago, she seemed to see Nanny Yang, who looked constipated, destroying the few flowers in the backyard. How come she appeared here again, and followed by two strange maids.

Madam Yang frowned and said, "Get out of the way, what are you daydreaming about?"

The little maid came to her senses and quickly stepped aside. Madam Yang led Liu Cui and Liu Xiaomei into the yard.

Along the way, Liu Cui and Liu Xiaomei carefully looked at the surrounding environment, feeling nervous and curious.

In fact, what they were most nervous about was meeting Su Yue's father, the legendary high-ranking official, but fortunately they only met maids cleaning in groups of three or four along the way.

As Nanny Yang walked, she whispered, "When you do things in Qingyou Courtyard, you must be careful with your words and actions. Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and don't say what you shouldn't say."

"I understand, Ma'am!" Liu Cui and Liu Xiaomei nodded quickly in response.

At this time, Rendong came out of the small kitchen and saw Nanny Yang and her sisters coming over. She hurried to greet them.

Honeysuckle said, "Mammy, I have put all the things away. Leave them to me. I will take them to get familiar with the residence and work first."

Madam Yang nodded and said, "Okay, you have to be more careful and teach them the rules of Qingyou Garden.

By the way, did the girl arrange any work for them?"

Honeysuckle nodded, stepped forward and whispered, "The girl said that my cousin should be the cook in the small kitchen, and my little sister will be in charge of making ice."
