"Young Master Jiu lacks someone to serve him, so pick a few boys, and maids that will serve with all their heart. If there's anything wrong, just come and report to me.


    She was negligent, however, the boy was still too immature. He thought by letting the Feng family come to visit once or twice, she would be afraid, and he could turn over and become the eldest son of the family. 


    When Houye’s attitude is still unclear, it was difficult for the person to climb up.


    As long as her own people are monitoring him, let's see if he can still climb up.


    Thinking of this, Concubine Ping was happy again.


    As you can imagine, unexpected things always happen.


       When she carefully selected a woman, a boy, and a girl to serve, this Ninth Young Master who had never come to say hello, actually brought a few of the people she had gifted to say hello…


The maid Qie Gui serving at the side watched as the Ninth Young Master entered and bowed calmly.


       The mother and son asked and answered questions. In less than half an hour, the more they spoke, the more ugly and regretful the lady's face became. In the end, he left after a while, not knowing what Madam said to Ninth Young Master, only that Madam was stunned for a long time. Finally, she smiled.


    "It's okay, it's okay, Qiu Gui, go and bring back the girl you sent today, just leave a little boy, and the old mama in the courtyard. Let them serve them attentively. If there is something wrong, the family law will be used"


    Qiu Gui was taken aback when she heard this order.


    Why does she feel madam, no longer wants to keep tabs on the young master?


    Such a change is unimaginable.


    Afterward, Qiu Gui was also a little curious and inquired about it with Qiao Pozi.


“Madam can be said to have figured it out, even if she gave him a little benefit, his mother died in such a way. The situation in the mansion is unknown now, and the lady has never been helped into the position of the main wife. It is better to show kindness to others than to offend everyone. Who knows what Houye is thinking, everything must be based on Houye. Anyway, it is better to show a good look now than to be said to be bad. ”


Qiu Gui thought for a while, it really is. The lady just showed a little kindness. The child is now alone, and he is grateful for the care of the madam.


Moreover, this child is sensible, if he is really promising, he will also remember the madam’s affection when the time comes.


From now on, if the Houye doesn’t think about him, Concubine Ping will do fine. If he does remember him, he will be reminded of how well the Concubine took care of the child. 


    After the incident, the deputy captain of the Feng family came to visit a few times, and he still stayed in Jiaochi Yuan to eat and so on. In this way, Concubine Ping valued this person even more.

    When Shen Xiangwan received this information, she stayed at Linglu Academy for no less than ten days.


    After burning this piece of information, Shen Xiangwan also let out a long sigh. Fortunately, Murong Xiude and Xiao Qi, the two people she cared about so much, are still safe now, even if they are still being watched overtly and secretly, it is better than being left alone in the backyard. The next step is for Murong Xiude to strive for admission to Linglu Academy.


    "Stinky girl, hurry up and bring me the broth. The food in the college cafeteria is really unpalatable. I even found a cockroach before. Thinking about it, I can't swallow it."

    Outside the courtyard, Murong Rongzhi shouted, When he came back.


    Shen Xiangwan hurriedly rolled up the half-written letter,  she could only send a letter to the rough messenger when she had another chance to buy vegetables. When she was taken out of the Houye Mansion, Yi Xuan was the most worried.


   Fortunately, Yi Xuan is also a smart one, knowing that she mostly has to go shopping in the vegetable market when she comes out. She instructed the handyman to pay attention to the vegetable-handling woman. Five days ago, Shen Xiangwan could also be counted as contacting that woman. It is based on the ability of the two of them to communicate and learn about each other's lives.


    Linglu Academy is such a strict teaching place, Murong Xiude wants to come, is his homework feasible?


    Shen Xiangwan was also a little worried when she thought of the Linglu Entrance Exam that was going to start in the second half of the year.


    If he could come, it would be better than just following He Deping.


    But what if he can't come?


    "Forget it, I still don't know, let's go and serve that devil son."


    Thinking of Murong Rongzhi, Shen Xiangwan also had a headache.


    She didn’t know what was going on with the young master recently.  He would stubbornly reward some objects every so often.


    Several times, the little boy has been praised by his teacher and would deliberately show off in front of her. However, she didn't express much, just stood aside with a blank face. The young master would get frustrated and turn his face and refuse to recognize the person again, before turning around to scold her.


    But the good thing is that no matter how ill-tempered Murong Rongzhi was, he didn't use chili water or needles to poke her like in the beginning.


    As long as it goes on like this, Shen Xiangwan is actually quite satisfied with this kind of life.


    After frying the vegetables and serving the very delicate young master, Shen Xiangwan brushed her hair and ran out to the backyard of the academy for a walk.


    Because it is an academy, there are not many slaves sent. But each person brought two of them, nearly fifty noble sons, and nearly a hundred servants followed.


    Because of this, there are not many people hanging out in the backyard chatting.


    Some sons brought bigger ones, while others brought some little book boys. However, there are very few girls as young as Shen Xiangwan.


    Because of this, Shen Xiangwan has only had three maids of the same age that she knew, Chang Qing, Nuan Yue, and Qing Wei.


    Chang Qing is steady and stable, as her name suggests, Nuan Yue is lively, a bit like Ruyue in the house, with a more straightforward nature. Qiang Wei was silent and didn't speak much. She usually looked at everyone with smiling eyes.


    Because the four girls are all about the same age, they usually play together. However, Shen Xiangwan, a body that hides an adult soul, still likes to play with older girls.


    She can talk, and she is cute, so these girls also like it.


    They came out so eagerly today, in fact, they wanted to do something for a girl. Sending a personal token to a certain servant is considered a private gift.


    Although she didn't like this kind of kid's play very much in her heart, in order to earn other people's favor, she covered it up...
