"Yes, the little man has piled all the things in the middle of the courtyard. Whichever you want to take, the little man will carry it back for you."
"Okay, thank you for the hard work."
The boy waved his hand and said, "No hard work, no hard work. My name is Sun Rongjia."
Wu Sheyue nodded, indicating that she remembered.
While a group of people were working, Wu Sheyue took the time to look at the family. The old man looked timid and kept holding his son in his arms so timidly that he did not dare to look over. Grandma Wang's eyes were dull and her face was expressionless, as if she was stupid. It was a huge shock at first glance.
There are many high-quality furniture piled in the middle of the yard, as well as jewelry boxes and stacks of silver notes...
Wu Sheyue stepped forward and took the banknotes and put them into her arms very naturally. These should be enough for Ning'er to last for three to five years, and no one around her seemed to be looking.
Sun Rongjia was a person who had seen a lot of money in the warehouse, so he naturally knew that these things were missing. He came over and asked, "Miss Third, is there anything else you can take?"
Wu Sheyue took a few glances, pointed at a few places and said, "This, this, that blue box over there... Yes, that's all. Just move it here for me." The ones she chose were all real money. Or something expensive but not hard to find.
Jiang Qingxue's place was full of precious orphans, and she didn't want to accidentally choose one and cause trouble for herself.
"Okay, kids, let's take inventory and report the things."
"Ah, miss, wait a minute -" Ning'er suddenly pointed to something in the jewelry box and said in surprise, "This is Aunt Yin's bracelet! It's the bracelet that Aunt Yin gave to Aunt Wang to help Ning'er pay off her debt..."
Wu Sheyue stepped forward and pushed aside other jewelery items and picked up the bracelet. This bracelet was made of special material. She had only seen it once, in the box on the beam of Yin Qiuming's house.
She put the bracelet on her hand and said nonchalantly, "I'll take this back and don't want anything else."
"yes."
Grandma Wang, who was sluggish at the side, suddenly woke up and looked at Wu Sheyue. She rushed out suddenly, broke free from the restraints of the two boys, and shouted, "You little bitch! You want me to die, I I won’t let you go even if I’m a ghost!”
Wu Sheyue raised her leg and kicked Grandma Wang in the stomach indifferently, and then an astonishing scene appeared: the thin, sweet and cute girl actually kicked the tall and thick old woman three meters away.
The servants had cold sweat on their foreheads, and they quickly ran over to hold Grandma Wang down. People in the courtyard looked at Wu Sheyue in horror, as if they had discovered something extraordinary.
Wu Sheyue slowly walked up to Grandma Wang with a sneer on her face, "Do you think you are better than a ghost?"
Grandma Wang is also old, and she almost lost her breath after this kick, but she was still gasping and struggling, "You, you wait for me! Even if I become a ghost, I will haunt you every day!"
Wu Sheyue blinked, "Oh, even ghosts obey me, who do you think you are?"
Her words were such a shock that all the boys in the courtyard understood a lot of things, and their legs became weak for a moment.
"You were the one who pretended to be the ghost that day! The ghost that scared the second lady was the fault of you!" Grandma Wang seemed to have grasped the straw that saved her life, and shouted loudly, "Did you hear it! She admitted it!"
Everyone around them lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. Grandma Wang was dragged up from the ground, still shouting, "Wu Sheyue, you are not worthy of being the third lady! You are not worthy of being an ugly monster, you, a fool like you." Enjoy such a good life! You are evil-minded! It was you who pretended to be a ghost to scare the second lady—"
Sun Rongjia was already shocked by Wu Sheyue. He stepped forward to ask for instructions, "Third Miss, Grandma Wang was also present in person to explain what was in the hiding place. There should be nothing missing. The little one will be sent here right now." Grandma Wang has returned to the woodshed."
"Go ahead."
After the shouting Granny Wang was escorted away, Wu Sheyue asked again, "What did you just hear?"
The boys looked at each other in confusion and said hesitantly, "We, we heard Grandma Wang biting people randomly."
"Yes, yes, yes! Aunt Wang wants to help her."
Wu Sheyue nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and went out.
On the way back, Ning'er cautiously approached her, "Miss... you were really, really awesome just now. They probably won't tell anyone, right?"
"What will happen if I tell you, no one will believe me anyway. But do I just look like a bad guy who succeeded in his conspiracy?"
"Like." Ning'er nodded firmly, "But... it feels really good!"
Wu Sheyue laughed and said, "You've learned too much."
"I learned all this from the lady~"
—
In the following period, Wu Sheyue worked more low-key and tried her best to avoid direct contact with those sisters.
Except for the daily greetings at the old lady's place, she now doesn't go out at all unless necessary. No matter how beautiful the scenery outside is in summer, she is still bored in the house every day, waiting for the blacksmith to rework and studying the work with the existing tools.
Wu Sheyue knows that it is the same in ancient times and modern times. Where there are people, it is complicated. She couldn't sleep well these past few days, and she didn't know who would come to break in again. If she didn't hurry up and make her residence safe, she wouldn't be in the mood to do anything else.
However, in the eyes of some people, her behavior is a bit mysterious. Originally, there were many rumors about her as a strange third lady, but everyone was curious and invisible at the same time, so it was difficult to tell the truth from the lies.
Two days later, Ning'er came over early in the morning to ask Wu Sheyue to get up and freshen up.
She called Wu Sheyue for a long time but there was no response, so she tugged on Wu Sheyue's quilt anxiously, "Miss, please get up, what's wrong with you recently." The young lady has never been so sleepy in the past. !
Wu Sheyue weakly waved her hand and said, "Don't, don't touch me..."
"Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, I'm just sleepy..." Wu Sheyue said, covering her head in the quilt.
During this time, she didn't dare to work during the day, so she lit up the lights at night and stayed up late to work. She had been staying up late recently, which made her sleep during the day and stay awake at night, and her whole body was turned upside down.
Ning'er came closer and whispered, "You can't stay in bed today! The old lady just sent someone over!"
"What's the matter?" Wu Sheyue became more energetic at the mention of the old lady. That was the thigh she wanted to hug for the time being.
"Isn't it the old lady's birthday in more than a month? I'll ask the embroiderer to come over and take measurements and make an extra piece of clothing for each person. The embroiderer is waiting outside."
"Oh..." Wu Sheyue got up from the bed, thought about it in her confused head, and then asked, "Is it like this every year?"
Ning'er was stunned for a moment, then sighed in disappointment: "Yes... it's like this every year."
Wu Sheyue understood. It seemed that this was the first time she was treated fairly. She yawned and rolled out of bed, "That's okay~ It's free if you don't take it. It's just that we have to dig out." (To be continued)
