When Ning'er stopped crying completely, the sky turned dark.
The sun was setting, and a maid brought dinner over in the big kitchen.
Wu Sheyue stirred the rice with chopsticks, looking at the three side dishes and one soup in front of her, feeling very emotional. She has been in this world for a day and a night, and has been working non-stop. Now she can finally eat a normal meal~ She solved the quality of life problem on the first day, and this progress is considered satisfactory.
Because they had agreed not to call Ning'er, Bai Lian was waiting on her.
Wu Sheyue thought that Bai Lian would not be happy after she had done dirty work all afternoon and now had to serve others. But Bai Lian did not show any displeasure.
Even compared to the aloofness when they first met, Bai Lian was now much more earnest and diligent. Whether serving dishes or passing water, her behavior was first-rate. Every time Wu Sheyue looked at something, Bai Lian would immediately catch her.
Ning'er looked at Bai Lian busy in surprise from the side, so it turns out that all first-class maids are like this
Wu Sheyue felt something was wrong and looked up at Bai Lian.
Bai Lian looked back with a smile, "Miss?"
Her eyes were curved like two crescent moons. Wu Sheyue found it a bit funny, shook her head to indicate that it was okay, and then continued to eat.
After eating for a while, Wu Sheyue discovered one thing: Bai Lian always asked her to drink more water. Even though she didn't even look at the teacup beside her.
Bai Lian is really good at reading people's faces. Every time she picks up the dish she is about to eat. If that's the case, then she shouldn't make such a mistake.
When Bai Lian handed over the cup again, Wu Sheyue didn't take it again.
"Put it down, I don't want to drink."
Bai Lian immediately advised, "Miss, drinking more water is good for your health—"
"Who told you that?"
"I… "
Wu Sheyue said indifferently while eating, "Didn't you learn the rules? It is best not to drink water before, after and during meals to avoid gastrointestinal discomfort. Do you not know or have forgotten?"
Bai Lian quickly lowered her head and said carefully, "I was negligent."
Wu Sheyue looked at her ashamed and nervous look, and snorted, "Get up, and be more careful in the future."
"yes."
Later, Bai Lian didn't hand over the water glass again. Wu Sheyue hadn't eaten anything all day long. She was starving, so she asked Bai Lian to serve two more meals. Bai Lian curled her lips, it was really enough to eat.
After Wu Sheyue had had enough wine and food, she waited for Sisi and Xiaoling to move away from the table, and then called the four of them in front of him. He began to give instructions, "Bai Lian, from now on you will take care of me personally."
"Yes." Bai Lian was a little excited, lowered her head and smiled.
Wu Sheyue glanced at the other three people with a faint gaze, "Ning'er, you will be responsible for Sisi and Xiaoling. Tell them what they should do on weekdays and the rules they should have here. If they do something wrong, You must be punished too, and be disciplined well."
Ning'er was a little surprised by Wu Sheyue's arrangement. She didn't expect the third lady to trust her so much. She was so excited that she immediately responded, "Ning'er understands! Ning'er will teach them well!"
Bai Lian felt a surge of anger rushing to the top of her head. Didn't this clearly tell her that all the rights had been given to Ning'er? What else can I say to teach them well? Ning'er, who doesn't have any rules of her own, is going to teach others
Bai Lian gritted her teeth and didn't ask any more questions. She finally understood that Wu Sheyue was really guarding herself, and was really trying not to make herself feel better!
Wu Sheyue sat leisurely on a broken chair with her legs crossed. After admiring their expressions, she asked, "Do meals usually come from the big kitchen?"
"Yes." Ning'er said, "Today's ones are delivered from the big kitchen. The ones from before... I don't know where they came from."
Wu Sheyue knew that Ning'er was complaining and asked her, "Where is the water to drink?"
"We got it from the well in the backyard. The big kitchen is so far away, so we can boil water in our own yard."
"Okay, from now on, go to the big kitchen to boil water. You all have to remember that you are not allowed to use that well if you drink water in your mouth."
"Yes." The maids didn't know why they were like this, and they looked at each other in confusion.
When Bai Lian heard this, her heart trembled, and she almost knelt down with her legs weak. She was really afraid of Wu Sheyue! She must know! You must know it! Otherwise, why didn’t you drink water just now? But, but how could she know! No... no reason... there's no one around there...
"Bai Lian."
"Yes!" Bai Lian was startled and quickly agreed.
"Go and ask the eldest lady when to call people to repair the yard and how long it will take to rest." Bai Lian felt that she had been seen through Wu Sheyue's eyes. She seemed to know everything. Feeling bitter in her heart, she responded in a low voice and hurried out.
Wu Sheyue waved her hands to Sisi and Xiaoling and said, "You two go out, I'll take a rest."
When Wu Sheyue and Ning'er were the only two people left in the room, Ning'er closed the door and window and carefully asked, "Miss, what's wrong with the well?"
Wu Sheyue shook her head and said, "I don't know, but it must be bad. Just use it less in the future."
"Well..." Ning'er thought thoughtfully. The well was used by Bai Lian during the day. Maybe the young lady was more cautious... Then she asked, "Did the young lady see any little tricks of Bai Lian?"
"She is the one whom the eldest lady put in front of me to inquire about me. I have been able to confirm it."
"Then what should we do? What can Miss do to deal with it?" Ning'er was a little anxious. The eldest lady is the head matron of the family, and she has been targeted by the eldest lady. Will she be able to get better in the future
"Bai Lian is a little clever, but it won't make a big deal~ Don't worry." Although Wu Sheyue comforted Ning'er like this, she still felt a little uneasy. The eldest lady seems to be very gentle and kind in her behavior, but that cannot deceive her. Wu Sheyue could tell that she was a ruthless character.
But to actually send cannon fodder like Bai Lian here, he either underestimated her or had other plans. Since I am so stupid, I guess it is the former.
Seeing Wu Sheyue's solemn face, Ning'er asked with concern, "Miss? What's wrong with you?"
"It's okay... Ning'er, you are the only one who has walked through thick and thin with me. I can only trust you. You know how the other families treat us. Even the big family who never participates is not Good man, Grandma Jin asked you to keep an eye on me, and the eldest lady sent me eyeliner. So there is no one else we can trust except you and me, do you understand?"
"I understand. Miss, just tell me if you have any orders." Ning'er said very cautiously.
"I'm sorry to tell you that there are indeed enemies everywhere in this house, and they are the most difficult enemies to deal with." Wu Sheyue frowned, "It would be better if you come here with a knife and confront me head-on, or with the Prime Minister's Mansion For the sake of boundaries, it would be easier for me to directly kill the opponent in this game."
Ning'er was a little scared, "What do you mean, miss?"
"I will kill people if necessary. Are you still with me?" (To be continued)
