"Ma'am, still remember two years ago, the servant broke your beloved teacup. Did you drive the servant outside to kneel in winter?"
Ji Man raised his eyebrows. Nie Sangyu didn't see much of this in his memories, and it probably wasn't an important matter, so Nie Sangyu didn't worry about it.
"Madam doesn't know what it's like to be in the cold." Clover said, "The six years I've been with Madam, my life was not a human life. Kneeling in the snow that day, I lost all feeling in my legs. , it was Master Xue who passed by, secretly took the slaves back to warm up, then changed into thick cotton clothes, and then went back to kneel."
Snow master? Qian Lixue
"Madam later scolded Master Xue, saying that this slave is your maid, and she doesn't need to be kind." Clover smiled desolately: "If it wasn't for Master Xue, slave might have frozen to death in the snow that day."
Ji Man was a little surprised, she didn't expect it to be Qian Lianxue, and she felt that Qi Siling was more suspicious, after all, Qi Siling made it clear that he didn't like her. And Qian Lianxue, at the very beginning, didn't she treat her differently because of the cream
Thinking of the back that was always sick and unsteady, the smile on Ji Man's face gradually disappeared. If it's Qi Siling, then it's easier to deal with, but why is it Qian Lianxue
"You think she's a good person?" Ji Man softly asked Clover.
Clover nodded, with eyes full of gratitude, said: "At least Master Xue has always been kind to his servants."
A sick and weak aunt is so kind to Nie Sangyu's maid for no reason, is it just kindness? Ji Man shook her head. In this yard, Qi Siling was interested in ledgers, Wen Wan was interested in Mo Yuhou, and Jin Se was interested in status. She thought that Qian Lianxue and Liu Hanyun were not interested in anything. Didn't even the old lady say that Qian Lianxue is a poor woman
Why would a person who lives a peaceful life use the maid around her to harm her
Ji Man pondered for a long time, and then thought about it carefully. It seemed that the only person Nie Sangyu didn't offend much was Qian Lianxue. The big boss behind this, why is she still there
Clover looked at Ji Man's expression, and asked cautiously: "Does what Madam said still count?"
"Forget it, how can it not be counted." Ji Man came back to his senses, smiled and said: "I have treated you badly for so many years, and now I have to give some compensation, and I will report to the old lady later, and ask Master Hou to give it to you." a name."
Clover was relieved by these words. Although she felt a little sorry for Master Xue, she had no way out now and could only trust the person in front of her.
"As for my pregnancy..." Ji Man asked, "Did you tell Qian Lianxue?"
Clover lowered her eyes and nodded slightly.
"Then I asked you to make cream at the beginning, and she also knew?"
Clover nodded again, paused, and added: "The slave only told her after you gave Master Xue the cream, saying that we made the things ourselves. After selling them, you didn't let the slave handle them. The slave Just tell her that you made a lot of money in the closet."
This Qian Lianxue was also very scheming, she didn't let her know when he attacked her, and she didn't even expose Alfalfa much, it seemed that she wanted to put a long line to catch big fish.
The enemy is in the dark, but I am in the light. Ji Man sighed, this situation is really unfavorable.
Now that she wants to protect the baby in her womb, but Qian Lianxue, who wants to kill her, finds out. Isn't the road ahead even more dangerous? Qian Lianxue didn't seem to have any attack power at all, but it turned out to belong to the desert grass series. There were only scattered branches and leaves on the ground, but the roots underground were very deep.
But fortunately, when she knew that Clover had a heart of betrayal, she completely separated Shuiji Rouge Shop from herself. Qian Lianxue probably didn't know that Shui Ji Rouge Shop was still hers now.
Ji Man kindly asked Clover to get up, and said a few words to her to reassure her. I went to the old lady's place at lunch time, and I asked the old lady to call the shots and collected the alfalfa.
"I was thinking, you can't do without a helper by your side." The old lady nodded and agreed: "Just accept Clover as a concubine."
Clover was overjoyed, and immediately knelt down to thank her. Although the madam said that she would help her to be an aunt, she definitely had to take it step by step. She thought she would start as a housekeeper, but she didn't expect to be a concubine.
The old lady took one more look at Clover, and said in a serious tone: "Since you are from Sangyu, don't do things that are sorry for the master. It is good for the Marquis to be favored, but don't forget that you are stepping on your own house today." Master climbed up."
Even if she became a concubine, in the eyes of everyone, Clover was still a lowly maid who seduced Lord Hou and took advantage of Lord Hou's love for his wife. After being happy for a while, Clover became honest. She understood that if she really became an aunt without relying on Nie Sangyu, she would not have much chance of survival.
Ji Man arranged the Wenxiang Pavilion for Clover, and assigned two maids in the yard to her. From now on, she will be considered as the master of the younger half. The Hou Mansion also gave her back her original surname, calling her Master Zheng.
Clover walked happily around the room, looking at the hairpin on her head and the clothes on her body, feeling extremely satisfied.
Many people in the mansion felt dissatisfied when they heard the news that Clover was favored by Lord Hou and Nie Sangyu helped him become a concubine.
Jinse even went to Wenxiang Pavilion with her handkerchief on, and said with a shrill smile: "A maid from a poor and lowly family, relying on her master to become a concubine, is really a blessing in eight lifetimes."
Clover frowned, looked at her and said, "Although Zheng Er is a maid, she is also from an innocent family, unlike Mrs. Jin, who has a pair of lotus root arms for tens of thousands of pillows, and a pair of fragrant lips for thousands of people to taste. If she can enter the Hou's mansion, she might be on the grave of her ancestors." It's smoking."
Jinse was not angry either, she giggled and said, "Let's just laugh at fifty steps and laugh at hundred steps, and see who can get it right in the end."
After sending away Jinse, who was annoying, she welcomed Qi Siling to teach her a few words. Clover could only bite the bullet and listen, and when Qian Lianxue came to visit, she just pretended to be sick and went to rest.
I thought being a concubine would be a very happy thing, but I didn't expect that on the first day, Clover felt physically and mentally exhausted. In the evening, Master Hou naturally went elsewhere. Standing alone in the yard, she suddenly missed Li Zixiu's gentleness.
However, when she was sick and went to the doctor, other people came. Zixiu feared that she would never want to see her again. Clover smiled lightly, tears came out of the smile.
Ning Yuxuan sat in Feiwan Pavilion and sulked.
Ji Man calmly peeled the lychee for him, and fed it to him after peeling: "What's wrong, Lord Hou?"
Mo Yuhou remained silent, but still opened his mouth to eat the litchi.
He has been recalling what happened last night in the sixth department today, and he feels that Nie Sangyu has tricked him. But what good does it do her to make alfalfa a concubine? I can't figure out why I would do this, Master Hou's face is gloomy today.
I hate things that are out of my control.
Ji Man fed him obediently for a while, made tea and beat his shoulders, Ning Yuxuan's expression slowly eased, and she took off her clothes and went to bed.
"The weather has changed recently, and Lianxue's body seems to be getting weaker from my body." Ji Man said in a full mistress tone: "Master Hou should go and see her more when he has time."
Ning Yuxuan glanced at her sideways: "It's not that you didn't like Xue'er very much before, why do you care about it now?"
Who did Nie Sangyu like before? Isn't it pleasing to the eyes of women all over the yard? Ji Man laughed and said, "Isn't this concubine sensible now? Besides, compared to others, Lianxue's temper is what I like the most."
"Her temperament is indeed very good. She doesn't fight or snatch. She's not as domineering as Wan'er." Ning Yuxuan snorted twice, closed her eyes and said, "You learn more, that kind of woman makes people think Don't worry."
Ji Man pouted, don't worry, you ghost, you don't know when your backyard is on fire.
However, he still asked curiously: "Master Qian and Master Qian knew each other because of Lord Hou and Lianxue?"
"En." Mo Yuhou responded lightly.
Qian Yingchen's sister, the matchmaker is naturally him. But Ji Man met Qian Yingchen, he didn't seem to be hostile to him at all, he was quite an interesting person.
Ji Man closed his eyes and silently thought about how he offended Qian Lianxue, Ning Yuxuan didn't speak anymore, and the two slept peacefully and had a good night's sleep.
One month later, the capital was peaceful and the Huainan Wang family returned to their fief. The relationship between Nie Qingyun and Ning Errong was stable, and there was no wind or waves. It seemed that Ji Man had nothing to worry about.
In this month, Ning Yuxuan came to her the most, followed by Xuesongyuan and Jiyueyuan, which can be regarded as both rain and dew. It's just that I only visited Zither and Clover, but didn't stay overnight.
When the time came, Wen Wan was naturally released. Mo Yuhou wanted to arrange her to serve by his side, but the old lady refused and pointed Wen Wan to Ji Man.
Such a big bomb was thrown over, giving Ji Man a headache.
But when Wen Wan stood quietly in front of her in maid clothes, Ji Man was a little surprised.
There seems to be something different about this person, the strong atmosphere of "you should pamper me" in the past seems to have been shut down by the firewood room.
"Slave maid Wan'er." She lifted her skirt and knelt down: "Greetings to Madam."
There was a knocking sound between his knees and the ground, Ji Man raised his eyebrows slightly, and the licorice and wick standing on both sides were also a little surprised.
He thought it was impossible to kneel down to her if he was as proud as gentle. Ji Man pursed her lips, raised her hand to signal her to get up, and suddenly remembered that a long time ago, Mo Yuhou married the gentle Xitang.
At that time, she also knelt down so calmly when she traveled here in Chuchu, which surprised everyone.
Looking at the gentle and gentle eyes with low eyebrows in front of him, Ji Man sighed, the heroine's transformation has probably begun, and it really is adversity that makes people grow.
"From now on, you can follow me and serve me. Be careful, and I won't treat you badly."
"Yes, servant girl understands."
