After serving Fourth Master twice, Ye Zao was temporarily put on the back of Fourth Master's mind.
Because the Spring Festival is approaching, Fourth Master was originally busy, and Second Brother's illness coincided with it.
From then on, whenever Fourth Master returned every day, he would go to Li Ce's house to take care of the children and also stay overnight.
Ye Zao didn't care, she knew that no matter what, she wouldn't compete with Li Ce Fu Jun for favor, that would be too foolish.
So she closed her doors and lived a quiet life, at least for the time being, no one troubled her.
At this time, Fourth Master had never called her to attend to him, but wasn't this a special circumstance? So, no one thought that she would fall out of favor because of this.
Song Dainiang's matter was handled efficiently, and in just a few days, she brought back the silver coins and banknotes, packed them into a bundle along with some clothing, food, and other items, and directly brought them inside.
The gatekeeper checked and was surprised, but can't Song Danni speak?
"It's convenient for Master Gong to come here, isn't this the intention of Miss Ye's family?" As he spoke, he took out a pouch containing five taels of silver and stuffed it into the man's hand.
That man stumbled: "You girls, aren't you favored now? Your family is still so worried?"
Song Daigne smiled quietly: "Forget it, a concubine can only get so much favor. Without giving silver, who would be at ease? You also know that our young lady was actually deceived into the mansion by her uncle..."
That eunuch wasn't a bad guy, he sighed and said: "Alright, go in. What are you bringing for your girl? Hurry up while I'm here, it'll be done with just a few silver coins."
If it were someone else, this silver would have to be left with at least a small portion!
Song Daigniang hurriedly smiled and responded, thinking to herself, "This is actually a usable place."
Returned to the Jin Yu Pavilion, Hong Tao was there, and Song Dangiang didn't go to the main house, but directly returned to her own place.
Until Hong Tao went to fetch lunch, Song Danni came in: "This is the exchanged silver ticket, small change. I hid a stack in my arms, and the doorman didn't examine it carefully. Otherwise, it would be hard to get through."
"Old lady is really clever, this one is for old lady." Ye Zao handed over a pair of bracelets awarded by Yin Gege, not too expensive, but also valuable.
Song Daigne smiled and accepted it, thinking that if she didn't accept it, this girl would be even more worried. It's also pitiful.
Ye Zao put away the silver, thinking to herself, for dinner, she would go get it herself. Taking advantage of the lingering warmth of being favored, she first made connections with the kitchen staff.
It was a good idea. But in the afternoon, in the main courtyard, it was suddenly announced that the mistress had an invitation.
Her eyebrows twitched and her heart skipped a beat, and some bad thoughts arose in her mind.
A lady of means summons a concubine; what good can come of it?
"Trouble you to wait a moment, I'll just change into another pair of shoes." Ye Zao said with a smile.
She wears comfortable old slippers at home and has to change into something similar when going out.
"Is the young lady short of fabric? With a face like yours, you should really dress up nicely." said Akira with a smile.
Ye Zao simply shook her head: "I'm just a concubine."
The fallen leaves didn't say anything else, she was a slave indeed, but after serving the master, it's still different.
Waited quietly for a while.
Ye Zao changed her shoes and didn't bring any red peaches either, then walked with her together.
Hong Tao is now even more useless, not to mention not clever enough, but also talks too much. Ye Zao thought to herself, even if there was no such servant girl, it would be better than having her.
In the main hall, Ye Zao knelt down to pay his respects.
The empress smiled warmly: "Get up, you're a good child."
Ye Zao stood up: "I just followed the rules, it was Fu Jin's kindness."
"Come and take a seat." The lady smiled and ordered someone to bring over a small stool.
Ye Zao sat down and thanked him again.
"How can you dress so plainly? But something is missing. Xiu Shui, where are the things prepared for Ye Gu Niang?" asked Wu La Na La Shi with a smile.
"Ah, they're all here. Master, take a look, is this the fabric you were talking about?" asked Qiū Shuǐ with a smile, carrying out a large tray.
The leaves of the jujube tree were just glanced at, and they saw a radiant glow, exceptionally beautiful.
"In her heart, she had already made a plan, and on the surface, she pretended to be flustered: 'Madam, this is...'"
"Sit down, sit down, this is for you. You're still young, so you have to dress up well. They are all good materials, and you'll know once you wear them." Ulanara smiled warmly.
"How can I, a mere concubine, wear such clothes?" Ye Zao was still frightened.
"Why can't you wear it? It's not a big red, just a peach red. Alright, you just do your job, I'll give you things, and naturally, I want you to repay me. As long as you repay me, not only with things, but also with your future days, I'll take care of them. Serving the master, there will always be times when you fall out of favor, a concubine who has fallen out of favor, how can she live afterwards? No need for me to say more, I believe you're an understanding person and will know."
Wulana slowly said, lightly using her own Jingtai blue armor to sweep across the desktop.
A faint sound came from between the armor and the purple sandalwood table, it sounded pretty good.
The leaves and jujubes in her heart were already as clear as a mirror.
How can she repay Fu Jin? There is only one way, that is... giving birth to a son for Fu Jin to raise.
However, after giving birth to a son for Fu Jin, will Fu Jin still spare her life?
Well, there's no need to think about it, because Ye Zao won't give birth! She can only have a child on one condition: after Fourth Master ascends the throne.
Nowadays, no matter who raises him, it's not going well, and even if he comes back later, he won't be able to get close.
So, absolutely not.
However, it can't be said that way. Hurriedly getting up and kneeling down: "I'm so flustered, I don't know what the mistress means. I have no special skills, my family is not prominent, I don't know... what I can do for the mistress? As long as I can do it, I will definitely die trying!"
Wulana didn't wake up in time, at least her attitude towards Ye's family was correct.
"You're a clever person, twice serving the master, but the master didn't reward you with Abstinent Soup, did he?" asked Ulanara.
Ye Zao suddenly looked enlightened: "Fu Jin... Fu Jin means, Master wants to let the servant stay... leave a child?" Not every concubine can make the master willing to leave a child.
A concubine cannot raise children on her own, this is the rule. However, even if she can't raise them herself, it doesn't mean you are allowed to give birth. This is also the rule.
Actually, Fu Jin was very clear that since there were too few children in the mansion, Fourth Master would not give her medicine.
"If I, a humble servant, were to have the good fortune of giving birth to a son or daughter, I would be willing to let Mistress Fu raise them." Ye Zao was very pleased, after all, it's just flattering people, and she wasn't going to give birth anyway, so who was afraid of whom?
At present, Fu Jin is taking care of her, isn't this a good thing?
However, it can't be that easy. After finishing speaking, Ye Zao barely held back his fear: "Just... just hope that when the time comes, Fu Jin will protect my life. I definitely won't dare to recognize Xiao A Ge and Xiao Ge Ge."
"Alright, don't worry. Your life won't be in danger."
