The housekeeper looked at it for a long time, marveling in his heart, and then said, "Miss Third, you are a woman, and it is not convenient for you to participate in many things. Moreover, the funeral ceremony is complicated and tiring, and Miss Third may not be able to bear it all by herself, so The old lady’s intention is to keep everything simple, after all, the living is the most important thing.”
Oh~ Living people are the most important thing, no matter which living person is the most important thing, it is not her that is the most important thing. What she saw in Qunxingzhai today was right. Even if these people treated her better, they still thought she was stupid.
Wu Sheyue smiled and said, "In that case, just follow grandma's arrangements." She moved out of the way indifferently. It doesn't matter... I've already prepared a show for you.
The housekeeper nodded to Wu Sheyue, made some gestures, and led the men inside. Wu Sheyue and Ning'er were following behind. She looked back and saw Xiao Ling and Sisi looking around the corner.
The housekeeper walked into the mourning hall first. At first glance, the black and white mourning hall looked a bit dilapidated, but there was actually a maid in exquisite clothes mopping the floor with her back to them? Her lace-embroidered sleeves were rolled up on her forearms, and the silver hairpin tassels on her head swayed with her movements.
This, this contrast is really huge!
Bai Lian was seriously cursing in her mind. When she heard the noise, she turned around and immediately threw away the rag in her hand and stood up, "Butler - I've met, I've met the housekeeper."
"Is it Miss Bai Lian?" The housekeeper was very surprised. She is the second-class maid next to the eldest lady. He asked in great surprise, "How did you do this... Did the eldest lady ask you to come here as an errand?"
"Yes, I just came here today -" Bai Lian was about to complain when Wu Sheyue, who was watching behind the housekeeper, suddenly looked at her and saluted Wu Sheyue in panic, "Miss Third, I haven't finished wiping yet. Please, please." Miss, please don’t punish me. This is my first time doing this, and I’m not yet proficient at it. I won’t do this again.”
Wu Sheyue smiled, the name Bailian was indeed called in vain, it really captured the essence of the white lotus - she was the white lotus essence, right? This way the rules are not lost, and it also implies that the housekeeper has been abused.
As expected, the housekeeper's face turned pale. This third girl's face was good, but her brain was not good! The people sent by the eldest lady dare to ask her to do rough work
However, before the housekeeper could ask questions, Wu Sheyue suddenly said softly, "It's okay. Ning'er and I haven't finished our work yet, so take your time."
The housekeeper was stunned, "Miss Third, are you still doing something?"
"Didn't Grandma say that she would come and do some repairs? This place turned out to be too messy. I asked people to collect the miscellaneous things. But there are not enough manpower, so I have to help."
Bai Lian was a little angry. The third lady said that she had no reason to sue. She glanced at Wu Sheyue displeasedly, but when she met those gloomy eyes, her heart trembled. Could this idiot Third Miss see it
The housekeeper felt anxious in his heart, gathering all the miscellaneous things? Gathering things is nothing more than tidying them up. That's an easy job. What's the point of asking Bai Lian to come to the mourning hall and mop the floor? Does the floor of the mourning hall still need to be wiped? Even after wiping it down, there will still be ashes everywhere when repairs are done.
He knew clearly in his heart that these three young ladies were either still stupid, or they were looking for an excuse to dampen Bai Lian's spirit, fearing that Bai Lian would not look down on her just after coming from the great lady's place. But as the housekeeper has lived a long time, he naturally thinks about the latter. Anyway, her third lady is already doing the work, no one can say that she is harsh on the servants. I didn't expect this third lady to be able to do it...she just got up with such a mind, could someone behind her give me some advice
He thought so and said, "That third lady has worked hard!"
Wu Sheyue said politely, "It's not a strenuous job at all."
Man, that's it. I feel that you are easy to bully and everyone will bully you. I suspect that you may be doing something behind my back, so my attitude is more cautious and polite.
Bai Lian felt depressed for a while. She looked at her wet hands and felt so disgusting... Why didn't she say how dirty this effortless job was!
Wu Sheyue looked at Bai Lian's expression and said, "Bai Lian, we are busy here in the mourning hall, so don't wipe it. It happens that the basin of water has to be changed, so you go get water first."
Bai Lian was shocked and stunned. She replied unhappily, "Yes..." and then went to get the basin of dirty water.
The housekeeper glanced at Bai Lian and said to the big men, "You guys, go over and move."
Bai Lian took two steps and turned around after listening to the voice. She saw the big men walking back and forth on the place she had just wiped while carrying the coffin. She had already wiped away the vomit, but because the water was not dry and it was extremely muddy, she was so angry that she almost threw the basin away.
The coffin was so shabby that several big men carried it away with one hand. The housekeeper said goodbye to Wu Sheyue before leaving the house, and his attitude was a little better than when he entered the hospital.
Ning'er watched the housekeeper follow the coffin and suddenly squatted on the ground covering her face and burst into tears. Seeing how sad she looked, Wu Sheyue felt soft in her heart. Yin Qiuming had taken care of her and Wu Sheyue for so many years, and now that he was gone, he didn't even have a better pomp.
She touched Ning'er's shoulder and comforted her softly, "Okay."
"Miss...I, I'm so scared..."
"Don't be afraid, nothing will happen. At least what the housekeeper said was right." Ning'er raised her head and looked at Wu Sheyue with tears in her eyes.
Wu Sheyue smiled and said, "The living is the most important thing. My aunt left to enjoy her happiness. She can't feel anything anymore. So we can take good care of her so that she can rest assured."
Ning'er nodded solemnly, "I understand, I'm just sad."
Wu Sheyue pulled her up, wiped her tears and said, "You can't be sad for too long. We still have a tough battle to fight."
"Yes!" Ning'er felt warm in her heart. Apart from Aunt Yin, this young lady was the best to her.

Bai Lian angrily carried the water basin to the wellhead, and then realized that she should have poured the water out as soon as she went out, instead of carrying it so far. She was so angry!
She placed the basin on the ground, sat by the well and began to breathe heavily. She used to be the second-class maid next to the eldest lady! On weekdays, her life is more nourishing than that of a girl from a small family. How could she ever do such dirty work and suffer such cowardice!
The more Bai Lian thought about it, the more angry she became. She really shouldn't have listened to the madam and was sent here in a fair manner. That fool was not as stupid as he thought! She, she should pretend to have bought it new and send it over with Sisi and Xiaoling. Look at those two maids, they haven’t done any work yet!
Thinking of this, Bai Lian also felt strange. Although she came with a mission, she didn't have time to do anything yet! Didn't the eldest lady also say that her brain is just right? How could she bully others like this
No... She didn't believe it. She, Bai Lian, had been struggling around in the back house to get to where she was now. Why would she still be afraid of her, a fake third lady in disguise? Just wait and see who laughs last!
Bai Lian glanced at the well and angrily poured the dirty water in, "Eat your dirty water!" (To be continued)
