Chapter 41 Ask me to serve in the Marquis Mansion again?
  The next day, when the genius was bright, someone came to tell Qian Xue that she no longer had to do the cleaning work today and would go back to serve her wife.

Qianxue responded quietly, then packed up her clothes neatly, and went to wait in the Madam's Courtyard earlier than before.

Jingyu's trouble last night made her feel vaguely bad.

Today was like usual, until the eldest lady wanted to finish her lunch and prepare to rest, she asked everyone to retreat, leaving Qianxue alone.

Qian Xue watched the people around her retreat quickly, her heart beating rapidly, fearing that the eldest lady might have discovered something wrong that she hadn't noticed yet.

"You and Jingyu live in the same room?" came Zhao's usual voice.

Qianxue lowered her head and responded in a low voice: "Yes."

Zhao twirled the Buddhist beads in her hand and continued to ask: "Is it true that the reason why she can't come to serve you these days is true?"

Qianxue's heart felt cold. When she went out in the morning, Jingyu's back was turned to her and she didn't say a word to her, and she naturally didn't think of asking. Now the eldest lady suddenly asked her, did she know something?

Qianxue thought about the last time she bumped into the housekeeper next to the master, and Madam punished her. In the eldest lady's courtyard, nothing could be hidden from her.

However, if you tell the truth about last night's incident to the eldest lady, wouldn't you be pushing Jingyu to die? The eldest lady's regard for the second young master is well known to everyone in the prime minister's house.

Just one or two words frightened Qian Xue to the point of breaking out in cold sweat on her back, but she just held on and replied respectfully: "In reply to Madam, Jingyu seems to have caught a cold and has a bit of a fever. She was also unable to come last night. I even cried in the room while serving my wife."

Zhao's hand did not stop twisting the beads, but she asked in a more serious tone: "Really? I didn't know she was so sincere."

Qian Xue's legs were already a little weak, but she still managed to gather her energy and replied: "Madam is so kind to the slaves, the slaves are naturally grateful and do not dare to fail to do their best."

Mrs. Zhao glanced at Qian Xue sideways, as if she was thinking about something, and finally said: "Ask the doctor in the mansion to take a look, so as not to infect others."

Qianxue hurriedly saluted and thanked her, "Last night, I brought water to cool her down. When I went out this morning, except for being a little drowsy, I was much better. I thanked Madam for Jingyu's kindness."

"I'm tired, let's go down." Zhao waved her hand and motioned for her to go down.

Qianxue kowtowed and hurriedly retreated. She had to go over and talk to Jingyu, otherwise the doctor would come and help her.

Seeing Qian Xue's exit, Mrs. Zhao felt temporarily relieved. This morning she heard from Aunt Zhao that something seemed to have happened to some of the maids, so she asked the maids that Aunt Zhao mentioned individually. After that, what she said was pretty much the same, so she felt relieved. She didn't want things like Liuli to happen again.

Qianxue was fast on her feet and quickly told Jingyu about Madam's questioning this morning. At first, Jingyu ignored her, but when she heard Madam, she even called the doctor. Panic quickly set in.

However, Qianxue calmed down when she saw Jingyu. Last night, Jingyu was poured with a basin of cold water and was blown all the way back by the night wind. Although she seemed to be in good spirits now, The hot breath and red cheeks were both signs that she was really sick.

Qianxue comforted Jingyu and asked her to talk to her, then wrapped her up and let her lie back. After the government doctor came, he diagnosed the pulse and prescribed medicine in one go, which also proved that what Qian Xue said was true.

After hearing the doctor's reply, Mrs. Zhao finally felt relieved. At the same time, she was a little more satisfied with Qianxue. Faced with her repeated high-pressure questions this morning, she also advanced and retreated in a measured manner, neither impatient nor impetuous. Coupled with his gentle and pleasant appearance, he is a good seedling worth cultivating.

Qianxue has no idea what Mrs. Zhao is thinking. The only thing she can feel is that she is busy. The maids around the madam, Yanran and Liuli, are currently in the Hou Mansion and the other is following the third young master. Jingyu has also been sick these days. She One person has to do the work of several people at once, and is extremely tired every day. It is even more tiring than working as a sweeper in those days.

However, for Qianxue, although these days are tiring, they are rare peaceful days. Without Yanran's constant targeting, Jing Yu has not come to see her again these days. Although she occasionally feels sad for a moment, but More often than not, I am still satisfied with this kind of stable life where I only need to do my own thing well.

On the fifth day after Jingyu took leave, Nanny Zhao approached Qianxue alone.

At first, Qianxue thought it was about Jingyu, so she quickly drafted it several times in her mind, trying not to miss out on what they had said about each other.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Zhao smiled very joyfully and gently, and when she came up, she held her hand affectionately, making her unable to even hide.

"Of these girls around Madam, I usually think highly of you the most, and I think you will be lucky in the future."

Qianxue was confused and could only say: "How can I afford your praise, Aunt Zhao?"

Aunt Zhao smiled even more amiably. She hugged Qianxue and continued with a smile: "You are a heretic now. I, an old woman, will have to bow to you in the future."

This frightened Qianxue, and she quickly expressed that she did not dare to accept the courtesy. Aunt Zhao looked more and more satisfied.

"I know that the madam and the eldest lady have the most accurate vision. The prince who selected you will help the eldest lady serve the prince. If you take care of the prince well, isn't a good future right in front of you! You girl, you can What a good life~"

Aunt Zhao smiled happily to herself, but Qianxue felt that her mind was blank. She asked almost instinctively: "Why should I go? Isn't there already Yanran beside the eldest lady?"

Aunt Zhao's joyful expression suddenly turned cold. She said "Huh." from her nose, and then spat viciously: "Yanran, that little bitch, can't recognize who she is after going to the Hou Mansion." You are a serious master. He who stirs up troubles in the Marquis Mansion every day and repeatedly sabotages the eldest lady’s plans deserves to die."

Qianxue was stunned and did not answer what Aunt Zhao said. However, Aunt Zhao just glanced at her and continued: "Of course this kind of bitch is not worthy to stay in the Hou Mansion to help the eldest lady. Now the madam and the eldest lady are choosing If I hit you, you should quickly pack up your things and go to the Marquis Mansion to live a good life."

Qianxue could no longer understand what Nanny Zhao said next. She could only feel that the blood all over her body had gone cold. All the efforts she had made to save herself had become a joke at this moment.

After Zhao finished delivering the message, she planned to leave.

Qianxue grabbed Nanny Zhao's sleeves and asked in a trembling voice: "Auntie, is there really no room for change?"
