Xue Li was the one who Fang Yiniang arranged to be by her side at the beginning, but this maid is smart and very knowledgeable about the times. Ren Yaoqi had planned to tune her up and teach her to stay by her side. Later, after Mammy Xu came, she found another maid named Qingmei to find an excuse to send her away. Although Mammy Xu did not move Sydney under Ren Yaoqi's suggestion, Sydney was still uneasy.
Sydney knew that Qingmei was sent away. On the surface, it looked like a good job, but after a while, she made a few small mistakes due to lack of ability. Qingmei secretly went back to find Aunt Fang after seeing that there was no hope of returning to Ziweiyuan. The kumquat, the two of them had a small dispute for some unknown reason, and not long after that, Qingmei was sold by Gui Momo because of a wrong thing, and I heard that she was sold to the south.
Sydney also understands that now Ziweiyuan has gradually gained power, and because she has not passed any news to Fang Yiniang for a long time, Fang Yiniang also gave up her eyeliner. If she wants to live well in the future, she can only get Ren Yaoqi. trust.
Therefore, Sydney is more and more holding her tail, and she is also very diligent in her work on weekdays, and she is always thinking about making a contribution so that Miss San can completely change her view of herself.
The last time Aunt Fang drugged Ren Yaoying and asked Ren Yaoying to confront Aunt Kang, Mammy Xu went outside and found the dregs. What Mama Xu didn't know was that Sydney secretly followed her that time. Although she didn't know what it meant for Mama Xu to find the dregs for Ren Yaoqi to see, Sydney still kept an eye on her.
At that time, there were only a few masters who took medicine in the house. Except for the old lady's own small kitchen for the tonic, the third master's medicine was boiled by the eldest wife and the maid in her yard. Medicines are fried in the big kitchen. After thinking carefully about what happened at that time, Sydney knew that the dregs belonged to the Fifth Miss.
Since Sydney was interested in this matter, she began to pay attention to the movements in the kitchen from time to time until she found Sister-in-law Niu in the kitchen.
Sister-in-law Niu is related to Madam Gui in the old lady's yard, and her sister-in-law is Madam Gui's eldest daughter-in-law. After Mrs. Li and Ren Yaohua's mother and daughter moved to Zhuangzi last time, Mrs. Niu was arranged to come to the Ziwei Courtyard, and then she was designed by Ren Yaoqi and the other people who had been brought by Aunt Fang were expelled.
Originally, Madam Gui thought that her daughter-in-law's family couldn't help her, so she was not willing to take care of her family's affairs. But it didn't take long for the sister-in-law Niu to become pregnant, and the sister-in-law Niu served the sister-in-law diligently. The husband and wife also begged her in front of the sister-in-law every day to go to Sister Gui and give her an errand.
The little sister-in-law couldn't shirk it, so she begged in front of Gui Momo. This time, because her daughter-in-law was pregnant, Gui Momo reluctantly arranged for Mrs. Niu to add firewood and watch the fire in the kitchen, although she made it every day. Disgraced, but because of the control of the kitchen charcoal and some oily water.
Sydney didn't think much of it when she saw Sister-in-law Niu at the time, but when she came back and thought about it, she always felt something was wrong. Then she begged to see Ren Yaoqi.
Sydney expressed her doubts, and said that she had seen Gui Mammy and Fang Auntie's maid Kumquat secretly meeting while avoiding others.
In fact, Ren Yaoqi also checked the kitchen after seeing the medicinal dregs that Mrs. Xu found for her. The other side's aunt had some guesses about what happened to Ren Yaoying's medicine, but she was not sure, and the timing was not right at that time. Mature, so she didn't want to expose Aunt Fang at that time.
Now that Sydney came to her to talk about it, it made her think of a plan.
"Sydney, how old are you this year?"
Sydney was stunned for a moment, wondering why Fifth Young Lady asked her age at this moment, but she quickly replied, "This servant is now fourteen years old."
Ren Yaoqi thought for a while: "Fourteen years old? It's a pity..."
Sydney is puzzled.
Ren Yaoqi said with a smile: "I see that you are very smart and very useful, and I want to keep you by my side. But you are fourteen this year, and I'm afraid you won't be able to follow me in a few years..."
Sydney couldn't help but feel a little sad when she heard the words.
She is two or three years older than Ren Yaoqi, and when Ren Yaoqi gets married, she will definitely not be chosen as a dowry maid.
According to Yanbei's rules, some of the dowry maids are going to prepare for the uncle in the future, but they will definitely not let her face until the master is pregnant, so the dowry maids are generally younger than the young lady or about the same age as her.
But Sydney didn't want to go to be a concubine, so she thought about it carefully and then knelt down and begged Ren Yaoqi to say: "Fifth Miss, then you can assign your slave to anyone before you get married, and the slave will be your companion. "
She is not a child of the Ren family. She has no relatives and no reason in the Ren family. Originally, according to her background, she could not be the maid next to the young lady. If Ren Yaoqi stayed in the Ren family after she got married, there would definitely be no way out.
Ren Yaoqi motioned her to get up, looked at her and smiled: "You won't regret it?"
Xue Li immediately shook her head: "I don't regret it, the slave girl will definitely serve the young lady well in the future. I have no second thoughts. I just ask the fifth lady not to leave the slave girl behind."
Seeing that her expression didn't seem to be fake, Ren Yaoqi nodded: "That's good, but I will have an important thing for you to do in the future, but now I need you to leave the Ziweiyuan temporarily. for a while."
Sydney heard the words and asked, "Miss, what's the matter? Can't we do it now?"
Ren Yaoqi smiled and said, "Now? Now is not the time!" Sometimes if you want to maximize the value of one person and one thing, you have to wait for the opportunity.
"How long will the servant be away from you?"
Ren Yaoqi thought for a while: "It should take a few more years, but when I leave the Ren family, I will take you away. You can think about it carefully, and I will not force you, if you don't want to, then As before, when I leave the Ren family, I will explain to Mother Zhou to arrange other errands for you."
Sydney just thought about it for a while, then nodded in response: "Miss, the servant is willing."
Ren Yaoqi smiled and teased her: "Aren't you afraid that I will break my promise? Or just forget you?"
Xue Li said: "Although the slave servant has not been serving you for a long time, the servant knows what the fifth lady is like. If the fifth lady breaks her promise one day, it must be because the servant did not do well enough, and the servant will try to make the fifth lady remember the servant. ."
Ren Yaoqi thought, this girl is really smart. She is also not afraid of using smart people.
Not long after having such a conversation with Sydney, Sydney was kicked out of Ziweiyuan to work in the outer courtyard because of a minor mistake.
Because there was an affair with Qingmei, some insiders didn't think much about Sydney's departure. They all thought it was because the third wife and the fifth lady disagreed that Sydney was the one arranged by Fang Auntie, so they couldn't tolerate her, even Fang Auntie was too. think so. However, Sydney is more aware of current affairs than Qingmei, so she stayed in the outer courtyard and waited for tea.
Ren Yaohua and Mammy Zhou were dumbfounded after hearing what Ren Yaoqi said. Ren Yaohua said in surprise, "You started the layout so long ago? I thought..."
Ren Yaoqi smiled and said, "Why? Do you think that I am soft and easy to bully, and that I will only come with soldiers to block water and cover up?"
Mammy Zhou sighed: "Miss Fifth, you are still thinking well. At that time, it was not known whether Fang Yacun would come to Yanbei. Even if she had the handle of Aunt Fang, the old lady would definitely cover up the past for her. Now Fang Yacun There is no hope of coming to Yanbei, and Aunt Fang took the initiative to deal with our third young lady, and she also disregarded the reputation of the Ren family. In addition, she harmed the ninth young lady... Even if we are willing to settle the matter, we still have to ask the fifth wife if it is okay! "
Ren Yaohua joked: "I feel sorry for the fifth aunt..." Every time he was used as a spearman.
After hearing this, Zhou mama looked at her sadly and said: "Miss San! You still have the time to pity others! You don't even think that even if you make a good impression on Aunt Fang this time, what will happen to your reputation? It's spreading more and more outside. It's getting worse!"
Saying that, Zhou mama turned to look at Ren Yaoqi again, and asked with some hope, "Miss Fifth, do you still have a way to help Miss Three?"
Ren Yaoqi looked at Ren Yaohua and said with a smile, "Don't worry, take your time, it's better to solve things one by one."
Listening to Ren Yaoqi's words, I don't know why Mother Zhou's heart gradually eased.
And Aunt Fang's mother and daughter did not disappoint Ren Yaoqi.
Outside now, it is not only rumored that Ren Yaohua is vicious and cruel to the maid, but also that she is also brutal and domineering to her fellow sisters.
Not to mention the personal maid who drove away Shumei, even the people who waited on Shumei's aunt had to be arranged by her hand. Even Ren Yaohua would beat her younger sister to vent her anger when she was unhappy, so she couldn't even get along with her own younger sister.
After that, the matter of Ren Yaohua's younger brother falling into the water was also revealed.
Aunt Fang wanted to make Ren Yaohua unlucky too much, so this time she didn't plan to give Ren Yaohua a chance to turn over, she did everything she could.
The play outside was lively, and the fifth wife, Mrs. Lin, and her daughter, Ren Yaoyu, were watching the fun and watching it happily. She felt that the fire could not burn her head anyway.
On the contrary, Ren Yaoyin has been sent away after a strange incident, and Ren Yaohua is about to fall out of favor. Isn't it the turn of Ren Yaoyu to be the head of the sisters in the Ren family
So this time, Mrs. 5 took Ren Yaoyu out to stop by and listen to the more and more interesting rumors outside. She didn't want to be stopped by a maid from the outer courtyard when she didn't want to get on the carriage.
The fifth wife was a little unhappy.
"Where are you from, do you understand the rules of the house! Come on! Give me a fork out!"
The maid was dressed in the clothes of a second-class maid, and looked a little shabby in her dress, and at a glance, she knew that she was not a competent person in front of the master.
I didn't want to think that the maid immediately begged: "Fifth Mrs., slave Xue Li, slave has something important to tell you."
