She turned around and greeted the other servants, "Go, wake up the master and his wife quickly, and prepare some food and ginger tea to keep the cold away for our lady!"

After Aunt Lan said this, the servants who had not yet reacted were startled and suddenly came to their senses.

They scrambled to call for help, and those who were supposed to prepare food and ginger tea went to prepare food and ginger tea. Even the person who was so frightened that he fell to the ground did the same.

The rest who had nothing to do hugged them and walked in. They even tried to help Wei Changying and Chisi get things, but they refused.

Those who were rejected not only did not show any dissatisfaction, but still maintained their enthusiastic appearance and talked to them cordially, as if they were relatives they had not seen for a long time.

Wei Changying started to deal with them with a smile, his words were beautiful and pleasant, and his mind was spinning very fast. Unconsciously, he got involved with the servants and came up with many words.

Chisi was not as comfortable in the crowd as Wei Changying was, but fortunately he had always been accustomed to silence. Those words he had spoken several times did not receive a response, and in the end they all left with a look of lack of interest and no longer asking for trouble. When they arrived at Guishang and Wei Changying's side, they gradually forgot about him.

Gui Shang was walking among the crowd. On his left was Wei Changying, who was chatting and laughing with the other servants and was good at dancing. On his right was the guard who had been getting close to him since he learned that she was "sent" back by the regent, almost laughing. The flattering Aunt Lan.

Gui Shang glanced at Chi Si, who was far away from the crowd and wrapped in loneliness, with his peripheral vision, and gave him a secret look.

Chi Si stopped in the dark and nodded in the direction of returning to Shang, gradually disappearing into the corner.

The wind was blowing and fallen leaves were everywhere, but the figure that had just stayed here could not be seen.

When Gui Shang was talking to Aunt Lan next to him, he happened to hear someone looking around in confusion, muttering to his companion next to him, "Hey, where is the man who came back with the lady just now? Why did he suddenly look around?" Gone?"

Upon hearing this, Gui Shang moved his ears and was brought back to the time not long ago almost instantly.

Before she kicked the door, she told Chi Si that she didn't need to follow her after entering. She could walk around to familiarize herself with the terrain, find out information, and draw a detailed map of the mansion.

But she also warned him not to go deeper into the courtyard just yet. It was an area that belonged exclusively to the prime minister. In addition to himself, only his people and his colleagues who often came here could enter.

Even his most beloved child cannot step into that place.

There is a study room there, where he usually handles court affairs, and his people are always there to guard him.

The companion of the man just now waved his hands indifferently after hearing what she said, and tried very hard to squeeze in around Gui Shang, "I don't care so much, but the young lady is really powerful, she actually climbed up. That one!"

After the companion squeezed in, she did not forget to stretch out her arm towards the person who was talking to her, and her voice was very low, "Quick, Xiaoxue, come here quickly! After coaxing this person, maybe we can I can stay directly with the eldest lady and turn into a personal maid!"

"By then we will no longer be just those stinky handymen who are bullied by the aunts and servants in the inner courtyard and stepped on by everyone!"

The girl named Xiaoxue hesitantly stretched out her hand towards her companion, but soon she firmed up and squeezed through the layers of servants who were whispering insults, but were afraid of surprising the nobles like them.In this house, they are used to living a life of flattery and contempt. They finally seized a small opportunity tonight. Naturally, they tried their best to get themselves into this golden lap.

The noise of the crowd obscured their voices, but Hui Shang, who had always had very sensitive hearing, could hear them clearly.

But she didn't say much. In this world, everyone has their own choices and their own way of living.

If you want to get something, you have to give something. If you want to get what you want without giving anything, how can such a good thing happen?

She took one last look at the corner where Chi Si had just left, and followed the crowd around her as she walked towards a spacious and bright house.

As soon as he stepped inside, Gui Shang felt like he was being watched silently by a beast, and the hair on his body stood up.

The servants were stopped by two men dressed as guards at the door, and only Gui Shang, her personal maid, and the person named Aunt Lan were allowed to go in.

The servants were unwillingly blocked from the door, but none of them dared to resist.

One of the guards, who looked quite young, was very irritable and drove them away impatiently, "There is no need for such people to serve here. You should go back to where you came from!"

Looking at this familiar yet young and arrogant face, most of the servants already recognized who he was.

They glanced at each other and knew that these two were very capable men of the owner of this house.

These servants were afraid of getting into trouble with such a big shot, so they all nodded and bowed, smiled obsequiously, and left far away.

The previous pair of sisters followed the large group of people and stopped halfway. The older sister grabbed her younger sister Xiaoxue's hand and secretly hid behind a small courtyard that was difficult to attract attention.

They stood in the corner panting, Xiaoxue looked at her sister in confusion, "Sister, why did you stop suddenly and take me to hide here? We still have work to do early tomorrow morning!"

For Xiaoxue, this time their dream of escaping from that place was shattered. All the money they had secretly saved before was given to Aunt Lan, otherwise they would not even have a chance to leave that place tonight.

But they had nothing, and now she just wanted to go back and catch up on her sleep, so that she would have enough energy to work hard and serve those aunts tomorrow, and no longer think about these delusions that had no solution or hope.

But her sister still seemed unwilling to give in. Just when she wanted to comfort her, her sister's hands suddenly placed on her shoulders.

She licked her lips, her eyes were burning, and she said excitedly, "No, I have another way to stand beside the eldest lady!"

"Do you still remember what we eavesdropped on before? The former wife of the owner of this house is the biological mother of the current eldest lady. It is said that the relationship between the young lady and her mother is very good, but the mistress died due to illness a few years ago. After his death, the courtyard fell into disuse."
