"San Niang wouldn't even pretend to be obedient." Otherwise, why would she have fallen out with Zhang Shi? "Mozi was brought back by San Niang last year. After all, it's not been long, and unlike the other maids who grew up with San Niang since childhood, I think Mozi is more like a substitute for someone, doing her best to fill in for whoever."

  If Mozi hears this, she will understand that Fourth Granny is absolutely not a vegetarian, although she had already thought that Fourth Granny was not a vegetarian.

  Zhang's wife acknowledged again, indeed, she had only followed him for half a year, and even if Qiu San Niang was good at winning people over, it was impossible to be so devoted.

  Fourth Granny saw that her mother-in-law's expression had eased, and she brought out a faint smile, but it was fleeting. "Madam, even if I misjudged her, after all, she is just a concubine. As long as Fourth Master does not put her surname on the family tree, and the deed of sale is in my hands, if she really doesn't meet your expectations, we can sell her."

  Lightly and casually, treating people as commodities for sale without any sense of guilt.

  "You've said that, so be it." Zhang compromised, ultimately because she was afraid of hurting her son, and thought it was hard for him to like the maid in the mansion. Of course, his daughter-in-law's words had already removed her guard, "Just can't bring her in as a concubine, just take her as a servant. Ai Lian has a legitimate child, and she is only a servant girl. Mozi will be a concubine, but at least wait until she gives birth to a son before talking about it. Also, I have her sale contract, afraid that you will be soft-hearted and can't bear to be harsh, let her climb over in the future."

  "Yes, thank you, madam. Once she enters our house, I will teach her well and not let you worry." Both the concubine and the house are good for the little girl's reputation. As for the sale contract, it doesn't matter; if Fourth Master favors her exclusively, there's no need to use her as a pawn, and Mother-in-law will take charge anyway.

  "No need to thank me, I'm not happy about it." Zhang's face was expressionless. "What's the point of my agreeing? It still needs Third Madame's agreement to go through. She can't handle Eldest Miss's temper, and you're just delivering yourself to her doorstep. And then there's the matter with Jing Wang Fu, she'll definitely make things difficult for you."

  "Madam, this matter was brought up by the daughter-in-law, so naturally she should be the one to bear the blame. As long as madam doesn't scold the daughter-in-law for acting on her own, the daughter-in-law won't worry about anything else." Fourth Granny smiled sweetly and warmly went over, sat down beside Zhang Shi, and coquettishly leaned against her.

  "You can't blame me for taking the initiative, it's all about being proactive." Zhang was quite taken with this approach and finally smiled, "If you don't want anyone to come, just tell me. Either way, if you've already invited them, then they have to come, and it's also a good opportunity to test their attitude." In this household, it remains to be seen who is more formidable, the eldest sister or the mistress of the house.

  Mei Zi was reading a book in her room when she suddenly let out two loud sneezes.

  Lu Ju was embroidering a cloak for Qiu San Niang when she saw this and smiled, saying that someone must be thinking of her deeply.

  One person thinks, two people hate, three is really not suitable. This was still said by Mozi to Lüju, but it was used in reverse by Lüju, who just didn't like saying hate, so she changed it to reciting fiercely.

  At this time, she couldn't think of it at all, a storm centered on herself was about to begin.

  Perhaps she had thought that when she spoke the words, shedding her humble protective color, people would discover her brilliance, even if it was still faint and elusive, but escaped the gaze of those with intention. But becoming a stormy attack was completely beyond her expectation, sweeping the entire Qiufu into it, making her heart skip a beat together.

  It has been two days since I returned from the hut. According to Xiaoyi's report, the movement between the various courtyards seems to have suddenly cooled down.

  "Perhaps it's news from the side of the Imperial Guard," guessed Mozi.

  "Yes, it should be these few days." Bai He was setting up the chessboard.

  "Mozi, why won't you learn chess with me?" A jade finger lifted, and the white piece it held shone brightly. The hand of Qiu San Niang was a wealthy and noble one, each segment smooth and plump like jade and pearls.

  Playing chess with oneself is lonely.

  "Girl, let me think about how to surround the chess pieces, it's not as good as carving wood." Mozi used to play chess. No, she should say that her pre-amnesiac self used to play chess. From the moment her hand touched the chessboard, she knew. But she couldn't admit it. Because no poor family's daughter should know how to play Go, that was a pastime for people with some spare money. Afraid of inadvertently revealing something to Qiu San Niang, she simply didn't touch it at all.

  "What a pity! I thought you were a good opponent." Chui San Niang placed another black piece on the board.

  Xiao Yi ran in with the wind, the curtains flapping behind her. Her movements were always quick and nimble, as if she had boundless energy.

  "Miss, there's news." She handed over a note.

  That is from Wang Qiulou.

  How did it get passed? It's simple. Not by carrier pigeon. With several hundred people watching in the compound, if a pigeon were to fly into their small courtyard every now and then, anyone who didn't notice anything unusual would be an idiot. Therefore, at the base of the outer wall closest to them, a slit was cut out from a piece of clothing, where notes were placed. Not only is it difficult for others to discover, but even if discovered, the content of the note is often just symbols, not easy to decipher.

  "Find yours." Qiu Sanniang took a glance and handed the note to Mozi.

  He took over the purple ink and saw that except for a drop of ink on it, there was nothing else.

  "Miss, shall I go then?" This was the first time that Wang Qiulou had come looking for her on her own initiative, and she felt a little self-conscious.

  Qiu San Niang didn't seem flustered, "Alright, let's take this opportunity to have Cen Da prepare thoroughly. Before we leave, let's clean up those things and settle the account once and for all."

  Mozi said, went back to the house to change into men's clothes, roughly applied some light makeup, and drew a copper coin mark. Just about to go out, but heard the sound of Green Chrysanthemum getting bigger outside.

  "Miss, Fourth Grandma has arrived."

  Mozi hastily stopped behind the curtain, and through the green gauze, she saw several shadows vaguely entering Qiu Sanniang's house. Now, how to get out? She leaned against the door, waiting for movement.

  Before long, Xiao Yi came in, pointed to the inner room and then walked inside.

  "What did Fourth Granny come for?" Two days ago, Seventh Lady came, and today Fourth Granny arrived. Mo Zi thought that this small courtyard had recently been blessed with good fortune, thriving and flourishing.

  "I don't know." Xiaoyi pushed the window open with one hand, flipped out and disappeared without a sound. "Fourth Granny had just sat down when Miss ordered me to come out and serve tea."

  The tea is fake, but the purple ink coming out of the mansion is real.

  Without Xiao Yi, Mo Zi didn't know how much effort she needed to put in to climb over the wall of Qiu Fu's residence. She had never tried it before. But her attempt to crawl out of the window was extremely clumsy, and Xiao Yi couldn't bear to watch. He helped her, but eventually ended up pulling and dragging her along.

  "Sometimes you seem so sharp, and sometimes you look especially dull, what's going on?" Xiao Yi stood still under the back wall, with her hands on her hips asking.

  It's because of his keen intuition, pretending to be dull, Mozi thought and smiled, saying in a low voice, "Do you want to climb the wall twice?"

  Xiao Yi tilted her head, with her left eyebrow raised high, seemingly very dissatisfied with Mo Zi's underestimation of her. She jumped onto the wall and crouched down, stretching out her hand to Mo Zi. When she was in a bad mood, she didn't like things to go too smoothly. For example, at this moment, with her innate strength plus her skills, she could have easily taken Mo Zi across directly.

  Mozila held Xiao Yi's hand and slowly climbed up, perking up her ears to catch any movement from the main house.

  However, nothing was brought back in the wind.
