It was not until sunset that Chen Su followed Yan Xiaoling and her sister out of the general's mansion. The three of them bowed and said goodbye at the gate of the general's mansion, got on their respective carriages and went back.
The maid who served her was Linglong, a third-class maid serving the lady. Today, she had specially obeyed the lady's orders and followed her to the general's mansion to serve.
"Third Miss, get in the car." Linglong saw Chen Su looking back towards the general's mansion and hurriedly reminded her in a low voice.
She was just a third-class maid in the Madam's courtyard. She usually did some cleaning work in the Madam's courtyard. It would be difficult for her to get ahead. Today, she was temporarily ordered by the Madam to follow the third lady. She would probably follow the third lady in the future.
The third young lady is much smarter than the eldest and second young ladies. She was able to get close to the general's mansion so quickly. I'm afraid the lady won't dare to make a fuss about her marriage easily.
If the third young lady can really make a comeback with the help of the general's mansion, as long as she works hard, she can definitely become a maid in the future, which is better than staying in the lady's courtyard.
Thinking of this, Linglong quickly glanced at the third girl who was leaning against the car window in deep thought, then knelt down with her head lowered.
Chen Su's mood was also unusually uneasy.
Yesterday, her stepmother knew that she would visit the general's mansion today, so she immediately ordered the maid to buy her new clothes. The clothes didn't fit her well, so she ordered someone to alter them for her overnight.
Early in the morning, her stepmother sent someone to urge her to come earlier and also rewarded her with two golden hairpins.
Today, she had invited him to stay for lunch and dinner at the General's Mansion. When she returned, her stepmother would definitely ask about what happened at the General's Mansion today.
What should she say? Tell the truth, since she will be going in and out with Miss Zhou in the future anyway.
As soon as she entered the house, Chen Su saw the maid from her stepmother's courtyard standing at the moon gate waiting for her.
"Third Miss, Madam told you to go to her yard as soon as you come back. Madam has been waiting for you for a whole day." The maid's tone was habitually disrespectful, but without the arrogance of the past.
Chen Su smiled and said softly, "I was just about to go to my mother's yard. Thank you, Sister Chunlan."
In the room, Lord Chen and Madam Chen were waiting for the arrival of the third young lady, Chen Su.
When Madam Chen saw her concubine, she frowned as usual, then looked at Chen Su with a kind smile: "Su Su is back, can you have dinner with me?"
"I have already used it in the general's mansion. I'm sorry that my father and mother missed it." Chen Su stepped forward, squatted, and bowed, then stood quietly aside.
Lord Chen was a civil servant who paid the most attention to rules and etiquette, and was even more concerned about the hierarchy between legitimate and illegitimate children. He had never even once looked at these illegitimate sons and daughters.
Chen Su wore a new pink dress today, and she looked like a pretty spring peach, which was eye-catching in this early spring.
His third daughter is pretty. If she could go to the general's mansion more often, I wonder if General Yan would take a fancy to her and let her become his concubine!
He heard today that the general's mansion had brought Miss Zi Yan from Mingyue Tower into the mansion.
The general was in his early twenties, full of vigor and vitality. The young lady from the Xie family was young, and no matter how beautiful she was, she could only be looked at but not eaten, so it was normal to carry a few people first.
Mrs. Chen was listening to Chen Su's detailed account of what happened in the General's Mansion today. Lord Chen regained his focus and listened carefully.
After Chen Su finished speaking, he said kindly: "Since Miss Xie wants to open a workshop, you can go and learn. You are grown up now, it is good to learn more useful things. You go back first, I will talk to your mother."
Chen Su took his leave, walked out of his father and mother's yard, and looked back.
The whole yard was brightly lit and hidden in the shadows of the trees, which was scary.
