After the door opened, the concierge was stunned for a moment.
Then he ran excitedly into the yard and shouted: "The lady is back! The lady is back!"
Within a quarter of an hour, four maids with different expressions appeared in front of the door.
"Miss, slave, I'm worried about you!" The maid in grass-green clothes rushed over.
Wen Qingzhu looked at the girl who was crying in tears. He had seen her portrait before.
She is her most trusted personal maid, Lu Tao.
The girl standing next to her who was very excited but very stable was Xi'er, who was very skilled in martial arts.
The girl with a medicinal scent behind her is Shaoyao. I heard that I gave her medical skills hand-in-hand.
As for the girl who was dressed like an ordinary maid, named Jasmine, she just looked at her silently without any expression.
"I'm fine, Lu Tao." Wen Qingzhu stroked Lu Tao's back as gently as possible.
At this moment, Lu Tao's body stiffened, and he slowly let go of Wen Qingzhu's hand and took two steps back.
Wen Qingzhu saw a lot of emotions from Lu Tao's eyes.
Shocked, puzzled, worried, disbelieving...
After quickly sorting out his emotions, Wen Qingzhu said: "There are many things that I can't quite remember. I have been sick for too long."
Lu Tao opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she was sure that the person in front of her was her young lady.
Why are her expressions, tone, and movements so strange
"Miss, who is this girl?" Unexpectedly, Jasmine looked at Xingyue.
Lu Tao and others also looked over.
Wen Qingzhu smiled and said: "Xingyue is from Prince Chu's Mansion—"
Before he finished speaking, Xi'er stepped forward to protect Wen Qingzhu, staring at Xingyue warily and saying, "What are you doing here?"
Before Xingyue arrived, she had guessed that Wen Qingzhu's former maid would be hostile to her. She smiled and said, "My name is Xingyue. During the days when Miss Wen was injured, I took care of her personally."
"Xi'er, don't worry, Xingyue means no harm." Wen Qingzhu gently pushed Xi'er's hand away.
This made Xi'er feel strange and abnormal from head to toe.
She stepped aside, and then looked at Wen Qingzhu in disbelief.
Wen Qingzhu thought for a moment: "How about we go in first?"
"Well, please, Miss." It was Shaoyao who spoke, and she respectfully got out of the way.
Walking in, Wen Qingzhu observed the Xue Mansion.
The layout and style are very elegant.
It's not something that ordinary people can arrange.
When they arrived at Luoying Pavilion, Lu Tao deliberately squeezed Xingyue behind and hurriedly introduced the room to her.
"This is where the lady used to sleep."
"This is where Miss used to practice calligraphy."
"here it is… "
After Balabala's introduction was finished, Lu Tao asked as if he was taking credit: "Have you remembered everything, Miss?"
Wen Qingzhu looked a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I didn't remember it."
Lu Tao looked disappointed.
At this moment, Jasmine came in with a pot of tea and a plate of cakes.
"Miss, you just came back. Let's take a rest first."
Wen Qingzhu sat down as instructed, and Jasmine poured her a cup of tea.
Just when he brought it to his lips, he suddenly stopped.
She looked at the tea in the cup, looked up at Jasmine and said, "This tea is..."
"It's the Biluochun that Miss used to like the most. Although it's not as good as the one drunk by the empress in the palace, it was specially given to Miss by Mr. Fu Hou."
Jasmine explained calmly.
Xingyue next to him frowned slightly after hearing this.
Wen Qingzhu drank half a cup of tea, and it was indeed not as good as the tea she had drunk at Wan Bin's place.
"It tastes good. Thank you so much, Marquis Pingguo." Wen Qingzhu put down the tea cup, not knowing why he didn't like the taste.
Jasmine smiled and said, "Yesterday Marquis Pingguo sent some more. What gift are you planning to give in return?"
Xingyue suddenly became nervous and stared at Jasmine.
At first she thought Green Tao was the biggest threat, but she didn't expect that this most inconspicuous Jasmine would hit the target directly.
Wen Qingzhu looked at the jade belt cake on the table and replied with a smile: "Let's keep it as usual."
"Yes." Jasmine nodded and retreated.
Soon, Shaoyao and Xi'er also retreated.
Wen Qingzhu glanced at the jade belt cake on the table and suddenly asked Jasmine: "Did I like eating jade belt cake before?"
"Miss, I really forgot." Lu Tao felt very disappointed.
Although the young lady in front of me is very unfamiliar, upon closer inspection, the details are still the same as before.
Lu Tao glanced at Xingyue and said: "This is the pastry that Mr. Fu likes. The lady always prepares it, so I don't like to eat it."
"Really?" Wen Qingzhu felt a little strange.
Xingyue explained with a smile: "The young lady had contact with Mr. Fu before. After all, he has a high status. The young lady will definitely put out some food that the Marquis likes. Just like the young lady, she will prepare rice before Empress Wanbin comes over. Eat what Ang Niang likes."
"I understand." Wen Qingzhu nodded gently.
Lu Tao next to her was almost furious, and she immediately said: "No-"
"Miss! Why don't we go outside for a walk." Xingyue immediately interrupted her and helped Wen Qingzhu stand up.
"That's fine." Wen Qingzhu looked at the place and found nothing strange. He couldn't think of anything.
"Miss!" Lu Tao had no choice but to follow quickly.
As they walked, they came to Liushang Pavilion.
There are also wintersweets planted in the yard, which have begun to bloom.
"Who lives here?" Wen Qingzhu stopped and gently opened the door.
Lu Tao followed angrily without saying anything.
Xingyue glanced at her, how could such a temperament get Miss Wen's attention
No longer caring about Lu Tao, Xingyue looked at the yard and said hesitantly: "It should be a place where a man lives."
"Is it father?" Wen Qingzhu turned back and looked at Lu Tao.
Lu Tao then quickly stepped forward, opened the door of the main room and said, "This is where the young master lives. Although he has gone to the palace, he will come back when he takes a rest."
"Mingxuan?" Wen Qingzhu thought of the red-eyed boy from before.
He said with a cry, you are not my sister!
Wen Qingzhu's heart moved, as if he had hit a certain thread.
She turned to Lu Tao and asked: "He seems to have taken a bath today, why didn't he come back?"
"The young master didn't know that the young lady was coming back, so he went to see the Marquis today." Lu Tao began to calm down. Since the young lady couldn't think of anything, it was necessary to make second-hand preparations.
At this moment, in Xue Mansion Pharmacy.
"Moli, what did you see? Tell me quickly!" Xi'er was extremely anxious.
Looking back, I found that Shaoyao was concentrating on crushing the medicine.
She ran over again: "Sister Shaoyao! It's already this time, why are you still in the mood to grind medicine?"
Jasmine suddenly stood up and analyzed carefully: "From my observation, the young lady is definitely still a young lady, but she seems to have been trained by others. I look very similar to the daughters of the aristocratic families I saw before, especially Pei Zhixuan, No! I’m not as smart as the young lady and Sister Lutao, I have to find Sister Lutao!”
"Stop!" Shaoyao put down the hammer in his hand and raised his head, "Now Lu Tao is staring at Xingyue. We can't go there. If there are too many people, Xingyue will be wary. Sister Lu Tao, although she is not as observant as you, but She is very sensitive to the situation and nothing big will happen."
"Is Mr. Hou also here?" Xi'er said suddenly.
Shaoyao nodded: "Well, Mr. Hou's people are here, nothing will happen to them."
At night, Lu Tao scrambled to wait for Wen Qingzhu to take a bath, but Xingyue couldn't resist and went to make the bed.
While arranging the pillows, she suddenly saw a jade pendant.
Not expensive, and a bit old.
"This is..." Xingyue keenly felt that something was wrong with this jade pendant.
"Xingyue! Come here and help!" Lu Tao's voice came from the bathroom.
She had no choice but to put down the jade pendant in her hand and turned around to go to the bathroom.
Not long after, Wen Qingzhu went to bed to rest.
Lu Tao deliberately pushed Xingyue away: "Miss, I'll do it, I'll do it!"
Xingyue, who was squeezed to the back, rolled her eyes speechlessly.
What ability does Lu Tao have to stay by Wen Qingzhu's side
After serving Wen Qingzhu for so long, Xingyue also saw that Wen Qingzhu was indeed incomparable to even ten Wen Qinglans.
Therefore, the people Wen Qingzhu values must have some ability.
But after observing it for so long, this green pottery has frizzy hair, and it is impossible to tell that it is someone who was trained and taught by Wen Qingzhu.
After Wen Qingzhu lay down, he moved his pillow and suddenly saw Sui Zi.
She took it out and saw that it was a very ordinary jade pendant.
"This is it?" Wen Qingzhu looked at Lu Tao subconsciously.
Lu Tao looked at the jade pendant and said, "The lady carefully put it away, and she almost always accompanied her. You didn't tell me how I got here."
Wen Qingzhu touched the texture of this jade pendant and found that it was not of high quality.
"Then I'll take it with me tomorrow." Wen Qingzhu put it down without paying much attention.
Seeing this scene, Xingyu breathed a sigh of relief.
After the lights were turned off, Lu Tao slept in the outside room and told Xingyue: "Sleep in the side room next door."
"Okay." Xingyue didn't intend to argue with her.
After going out, I looked at the maple forest not far away, and the leaves were rustling.
She felt more relieved.
After a good night's sleep, Wen Qingzhu slept for three strokes before waking up.
As soon as he sat up, Lu Tao came in, holding a basin in his hand: "Miss, you're awake, my servant will help you freshen up."
"Where is Xingyue?" Wen Qingzhu asked subconsciously.
Lu Tao's eyes suddenly turned red: "Miss, what did I do wrong, slave? The first thing you said when you woke up was to ask Xingyue?"
Xingyue, who had just arrived at the door, was choked up and speechless.
She walked in and said respectfully: "Miss, it's almost noon now."
"It's so late!" Wen Qingzhu immediately turned around and got out of bed.
Lu Tao quickly put down the basin and helped Wen Qingzhu to the dressing table.
Xingyue walked over naturally, but Lu Tao turned around and glared at her: "Go and prepare breakfast!"
"Okay." Xingyue nodded, and when she turned to leave, she thought to herself that she had to get familiar with the environment here as soon as possible.
Within half an hour, Lu Tao gave her a very simple bun and inserted a white jade hairpin.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Wen Qingzhu suddenly asked: "Is this my daily dress before?"
"Yes, Miss doesn't like those complicated buns and hairpins. Just keep it simple." Lu Tao explained happily.
When having breakfast.
Wen Qingzhu looked at the simple white rice porridge and two plates of vegetables on the table, and asked, "I used to like these?"
"Well, the lady said I don't have much appetite when I get up early, so just eat something tasteless."
When practicing calligraphy at the desk.
Wen Qingzhu looked at the Xuan pen in his hand. It seemed to be very old and had some curls.
She asked again: "When was this all prepared?"
"When I moved in, Miss didn't practice calligraphy much. She preferred to read medical books." Lu Tao said after considering it.
More than half an hour later, as soon as Xingyue came in, she saw Wen Qingzhu leaning on the couch, flipping through a medical book in a very casual manner.
Even when she put down the tray, Wen Qingzhu still didn't notice.
As a last resort, Xingyue had no choice but to step forward and said as gently as possible: "Miss, it's not good for your eyes to read in this posture. If Empress Wanbi sees it, she won't like it and she will definitely punish me."
