The girl went to the kitchen and arrested the maid who was stoking the fire under the stove, and Konggu soon got the news.
This news was told by Wei Yang herself.
Weiyang was eating with a small bowl in her hand, Youlan was standing aside waiting to serve her, and Konggu was holding needle and thread, preparing to make two new undergarments for the girl.
"At night, leave one of you to sleep on the bed outside. I have to get up at night and someone needs to serve me, otherwise it will be inconvenient to go in and out." Wei Yang put down the bowl, looked at Youlan who was packing up with her head down, and suddenly spoke.
"Yes." Konggu and Youlan responded at the same time.
"Tomorrow morning, you guys clean up the room. Xiaocao, the girl who cooks in the kitchen, will come over."
Youlan lowered her head with a normal expression and replied, "Yes." Kong Ling, who was sitting on a small stool, was in a trance for a moment. A needle pricked her hand, and she almost cried out in pain.
This happened so suddenly that as soon as Yougu sent the dishes to the kitchen, Konggu pulled her back into the house and asked her in detail why she thought of keeping Xiaocao, the fire-making girl, here today.
Youlan only knew that the girl had gone to the kitchen with her today, and maybe she had chosen her at that time? She couldn't tell anything else. Seeing Konggu asking again and again, she just replied casually, "It's normal for the girl to want to have a maid. The general said that the girl has too few maids around her, so he is going to pick a few more for her."
"Are you stupid?" Konggu tapped Youlan's head fiercely with his finger. "General, what you said is too few, that's normal. But the girl picked the fire maid herself, that's not normal. I guess we must have done something wrong, the girl is not satisfied, so she wants to pick another maid."
Youlan looked at Konggu suspiciously: "I don't think so."
"By the time you think about it, we would have been sent back home by the girl." Konggu wanted to touch Youlan's head, but couldn't bear to do so, so he let go, sighed, packed up his things, and prepared to go to the girl's place to keep watch.
Originally, the girl had never asked for anyone to keep watch over her at night, and no one taught the two of them to keep watch over her at night, so as to help her get up to drink water or something.
Today, Wei Yang took the initiative to instruct others while they were having dinner, that from now on, if he was to keep watch at night, he should sleep on the bed in the outer room, so that the girl would be able to hear him if she called him.
Wei Yang had taken off her shoes, socks and clothes and lay down quietly in the soft bed. The sound of bedding being made could be clearly heard in the empty valley outside.
In the past, she would have a little maid sleeping in her outer room, and a big maid would sleep on the footboard in front of her bed. The little maid was there to serve the big maid, and the big maid was there to serve her. Now, let alone the big maid, there is no maid guarding her at night.
If the wet nurse and the maid were still there, she wouldn't be in such a mess today, and she wouldn't have soiled her uncle's clothes!
Tears dripped from the corners of her eyes and fell silently into the soft pillow. When she was young, she was weak and had to take very bitter medicine. She also loved to cry, so her mother held her to sleep. Now, when she cries, no one holds her or comforts her anymore.
In the middle, Wei Yang was afraid of dirtying the bedding, so she asked Kong Ling to get up and take care of her several times. It was not until the second half of the night that Wei Yang finally fell asleep reluctantly.
It was also late at night when Yan Gui returned home. Taking advantage of the alcohol, he walked to Wei Yang's courtyard gate on the crackling ice chips.
The courtyard was bathed in moonlight and seemed unusually quiet.
Yan Gui stood in front of the courtyard gate for a long time before he left. Last night, he entered Wei Yang's room, and she was unhappy and had a tantrum with him in the morning. He couldn't make the same mistake again today.
