Chapter 86: Fearless with Confidence

  Not only did Liu Yiniang look down on Liyue, but even the several knowledgeable personal maids in front of Zhengyuan Su Ying couldn't wait to demote Liyue to a lowly position.

  This matter started from the time when Su Ying was producing and hooked up with Fu Yiyang's tender green onion, that tender green onion girl who refused to change her ways again approached Fu Yiyang to hook up, but ended up getting shot by Fu Yiyang's gun and was dragged out to be executed.

  Su Ying knew beforehand that the little girl wanted to climb up, if it wasn't for her being in a delicate situation at the time, Su Ying might not have been so disgusted. What's even more laughable is that this person was actually incited by Li Yue, and indeed, how could a third-rate maid possibly wear hairpins with gold inlays? Even the rouge she used wasn't something she should be using.

  This search actually ended up on Lihua's body. At that time, Su Ying was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but burst out laughing, it was really ridiculous.

  Su Ying turned around and let Lu Hui give the useless jewelry to Li Yue, and then there was no movement, just treating Li Yue as a clown invited by the monkey, jumping around a few times can still watch a monkey show.

  With the help of Liu Yiniang, Liyue arrived at the main house smoothly. She came quite early, Su Ying was still asleep, and Lu Hui tried to get rid of Liyue with a few words, not wanting her to stay in the main house and be an eyesore.

  。

  But who knew that Lihua was a stubborn one, and when Lü Hu scolded her, she just pretended not to hear it, putting on an air of "if the mistress doesn't see it, the servant girl won't worry" with a dead pig's fearlessness in boiling water, which made Lü Hu lose his temper, so he simply

  Never mind, if she is willing to wait then let her wait.

  Su Ying slept until noon, and when she woke up, her head was dizzy. Bo He was sitting by the bed, watching over her. Seeing that she was awake, he quickly brought over a cup of honey water, "Madam, have some to soothe your throat."

  Lotus hastened to enter. Supporting Su Ying to sit up and putting a pillow behind her back: "Madam finally woke up, the kitchen is still warm with porridge, does madam want to eat some? You haven't had a drop of water since last night."

  Su Ying propped up her forehead, feeling like her head had grown a size bigger. The needle poked and poked, hurting with each jab. As all the memories came flooding back, her nose turned sour, and she almost burst into tears again.

  Sitting on the bed, I feel like there's a hole in my heart. It's dark and bottomless, no matter how much I fill it, the emptiness is unbearable.

  Lü Huì looked at her with a worried face, not saying a word.

  Su Ying pulled the corner of her mouth, and Tonghe brought up a cup of honey water. With a smile, two dimples appeared: "Yesterday, Master personally settled that Wei Ayi, dismissed her husband's official duties, and let them return the things they stole from Big Sister."

  The key point of mint is on this "personally".

  Su Ying didn't care about these things. Bo He originally thought that saying this would make her happy, but she didn't even crack a smile, and Lu Hui gave Bo He a signal with his eyes. Bo He bent his knees: "The kitchen is warming up the porridge. I'll go get it for Madam."

  "Madam, Liyue came over early this morning and said she wanted to wait on you in bed. I stopped her but she refused to leave, and now she's still in the side room." Luhui added a sentence, "I didn't realize before that she was so big-hearted. She actually did something so despicable, it's a shame for the mistress's courtyard, and it reflects badly on all of them too."

  Fortunately her scheme didn't succeed, it's really disgusting.

  Su Ying raised her eyelids and glanced at Lu Hui, saying lightly: "Since she's so eager to serve others, let her go to the South Wing to serve Wei Shi."

  Lotus hesitated for a moment before saying: "Madam should have steeled herself long ago."

  She was also doing it herself.” It was as if Wei Yiniang was secretly provoking her, but Su Ying didn't take advantage of her weakness to teach her a lesson. Otherwise, she would have ended up like Wei Yiniang, and might not have even made it through the winter. As for Liu Yiniang's side, they were also turning a blind eye, but this softness didn't mean that the mistress had truly softened. After all, Liyue was still promoted by the mistress herself, and doing something so disloyal shouldn't be tolerated at all.

  Su Ying was still drowsy, and unlike her usual self who would immediately ask to see Fu Lu twins as soon as she woke up. Lu Xi thought it was because she slept too much the night before and was startled again, so she didn't have any energy. She stayed with Su Ying for a while, until Bo He brought in the porridge, then she went out to find Li Yue to pass on Su Ying's orders.

  Su Ying was not yet at the point of collapse, but she had become mentally slack and her heart was still somewhat bewildered. The knife that used to hang around her neck was gone, and she didn't need to force herself to be diligent anymore. It was as if she had lost her goal and didn't know how to move forward.

  It's like being lost at a crossroads in life.

  Su Ying sipped her porridge and looked at Li Yue, who was kneeling on the carpet with her body bowed.

  "What's going on, Liyue? I haven't said anything, and you're already kneeling down to apologize?" Su Ying's voice was light and airy, but it still sent a chill down Liyue's spine as she knelt on the ground.

  Who made Lì Yuè so proactive to come over and be the cannon fodder? If she didn't get what she wanted, wouldn't that be unfair to her proactivity? "It seems you should know what mistakes you've made. Why don't you take the initiative to say something? After all, you're from my place, I should at least give you a chance to defend yourself. Speak up."

  Ling Yue still had that wooden expression on her face, without any sign of panic, and simply knelt down on the ground without saying a word.

  Su Ying said lightly: "It seems that you have nothing to say, since so, go to the South Wing to accompany Wei Niang."

  The South House is still the original South House, but unfortunately, it's deserted and empty. She has angered Fu Yeyang again, and the South House has become a cold house. This is equivalent to driving Liyue away. To say that Su Ying didn't need to say so much to Liyue, she wasn't even like Wei Niangniang and Liu Niangniang, who were proper concubines. She was just a nameless, low-ranking, and unloved maid, with her contract still in Su Ying's hands. Whether beaten or killed, it was all up to Su Ying, and if word got out, no one would say anything.

  Su Ying didn't think it was a big deal, she just feared that Lixue might have done something wrong to anger the mistress, and that's why she was being punished, besides, she wasn't even scolded or beaten.

  Su Ying has nothing to fear.

  Li Yue was no longer pretending to be gentle and reserved, she still lowered her head, but her voice was not low: "Even if the maid is also the wife's person, how can she lift the maid to serve Wei Niang, this kind of rumor will harm the wife's dignity"

  。”

  Su Ying was about to laugh: "You are a slave, how can Wei Niang not be your master?"

  Liu Yue raised her head: "Although the maid has served Master, it was still Madam who gave the maid face. Why must Madam humiliate the maid like this?"

  Su Ying still lay in bed, saying: "What, you think I wronged you? Then defend yourself and let me hear. Give me a reason why this maid can't be punished."

  Why didn't I notice before that Lixyue's logic is so weird?

  Ling Yue smiled bleakly: "The mistress has already determined that the maid is guilty, the maid has nothing to say."

  Su Ying didn't want to chat with her, so she casually swept the teacup filled with honey water from the edge of the kang table to the ground, spilling half a cup of honey water onto the carpet, making a considerable noise.

  The noise could be heard outside the house, and Lu Hui had already turned black in the face. Seeing this, her face tightened. Raising her voice: "Li Yue Niang also doesn't know how to behave, Madam is willing to forgive you because you used to be a proper lady, but you don't even thank Madam for forgiving you, how dare you still dare to defy and disobey Madam?"

  Lì Yuè was instigating Xiǎo Yā Tóu to flirt with Fù Yì Yáng behind her back, which is a very annoying thing. It's not good to say it out loud, but if you want to get rid of her, there's no need for such a big fuss. Even if Lì Yuè refused to admit her guilt, it wouldn't matter, and you could just find an excuse to get rid of her.

  Before, Su Ying had been lenient. Some things are just turning a blind eye, of course, when it comes to Li Yue's affairs, the chaos is really unbearable. Now it's just advancing the time to deal with her. She really didn't want to see this person jumping out from time to time, so she sent her to accompany Wei Niang.

  They will definitely get along with each other.

  Liyue's face twisted for a moment, but quickly returned to normal. She still looked calm, and the people in the house became even more cautious. Luhui and Bohen were glaring at Su Ying, ready to block her way. But Liyue didn't make any crazy moves, she was still kneeling, her voice still flat, "The maid thanks Mrs. Xie for her concern."

  What a coincidence, the nanny was holding Luwa who couldn't stop crying and came over. Liyue suddenly sprang up and rushed towards the nanny. Her movements were very fast, but just as she was about to reach the nanny, her left foot stepped on her right foot, and with a "thud" sound, she fell flat on her face. The heavy sound echoed in everyone's ears in the room.

  Time stood still for a few seconds, and it was Gui's nanny who reacted the fastest. After seeing that both Nainai and Lü Ge were fine, she rushed to Nainai and shouted in a low voice: "Still not taking Lü Ge inside?"

  。”

  "Oh, yes, yes." The nanny was also frightened and immediately led Lu Ge'er, who had stopped crying, inside.

  Gui's aunt was furious, and with a strong pull, she grabbed Liyue's hair from the ground, pulling her up to face her. She swung her arm and slapped Liyue twice: "You're asking for death! If something happens to my brother, your whole family's lives won't be enough to make up for it!"

  Liu Yue spat out a mouthful of blood, along with several teeth, and was nailed to the spot by Gu's words, her face ashen.

  "Bring Lu'er over." Su Ying half-closed her eyes, the wet nurse begged for mercy with tears in her eyes, but Su Ying was impatient and waved her hand to let her go down first. Lu'er was carried into Su Ying's arms, and she gazed at him coldly. Her slender fingers slid from his pale face down to his delicate neck, which could be pinched off with just a little force. She leaned in close, her breath like orchids.

  "My precious darling, fortunately you're alright."

  Lu Ge'er followed Su Ying, whose apricot eyes still had a glimmer of tears in them. After all, she had just cried, and it wouldn't be very convincing if there were no tears. He was made to feel uneasy by Su Ying's 'concerned and worried' words, and he felt even more inferior now that he was facing her.

  Under Su Ying's gaze, she opened her small mouth like a flower petal, revealing a toothless smile with high sugar content. Her little body shook several times, and tears slid silently down her tender face, Ya Quan Die...

  Feeling the wet heat on her body, Su Ying also froze, and let out a sound: "You have this kind of situation too? Urinary incontinence?"

  Luwa felt that he had lost face, if his fragile body allowed it, he really wanted to curl up into a ball. Unfortunately, he was just a baby less than ten days old, and even with exceptional talent, he didn't dare make a move in front of Su Ying, who seemed to be turning black. He watched with wide eyes as Su Ying called out for the nanny to come and change his diaper, and he had been completely exposed throughout the process, his innocence lost.

  The courtyard was rarely bustling, and Madam Liu took Cui Ping out to see the commotion. Looking around, she didn't see Li Yue, so she asked Bai Zhi, who had brought people over: "Where's Li Yue?"

  Bai Zhi said to Liu Niang, "Li Yue has fallen ill. The mistress has ordered someone to carry her to the southern courtyard. It's just as well that she can recover together with Wei Niang and keep each other company."

  Mrs. Liu took a deep breath, this time the mistress was so neat and tidy to punish Lihua, she wouldn't be silly enough to ask Lihua what disease she had got, Bai Ju knelt down and said: "Don't go and pack up Lihua's things and send them over"

  。”

  Liu'er, Li Yue's maid, cautiously approached and asked Bai Zhi in a trembling voice: "Bai Zhi sister, my young mistress... I..."

  Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow: "Madam has shown you kindness, if you want to go serve your family's daughter, I won't stop you." Before Bai Zhi could finish speaking, Liu Er hastily said: "My family's daughter is always dissatisfied with my service, so I won't go bother her."

  Bai Zhi didn't force her at all: "Since that's the case, then you can go find the housekeeper and have her arrange some chores for you."

  "Alright, alright. Thank you, Bai Zhi sister." Liu Er was overjoyed and tearfully said, glancing at Bai Zhi again, "After all, we've been through thick and thin together, I'll help Miss pack up her things one last time, to fulfill this emotional bond."

  Bai Zhi nodded slightly, and Liu'er entered the house. Her eyes scanned the room and saw the old woman who had followed Bai Zhi pick up the silver bangle that Li Yue had placed on top of her dresser and put it into her sleeve. Liu'er saw this but didn't say a word. She coldly smiled to herself and quickly gathered most of Li Yue's valuable items into her dresser and locked it.

  The old woman originally wanted to take advantage of her quick hands to grab some more, but she didn't expect to be preempted by Liu'er. She pouted and was too lazy to help with the cleanup again, knowing that Liyue was doomed anyway. She urged: "Miss, hurry up, don't keep Baiju girl waiting outside."

  Liu'er, however, was not annoyed in the slightest. She said "I understand" to the old woman and quickly gathered up Liyue's bedding and thick clothing with a wooden expression on her face. As she packed, she thought to herself: You want to harm me? Now I should get some compensation back. Those silver pieces and jewelry are probably useless to you anyway. Rather than letting someone else benefit from them later, why not let me benefit now? It's also a way to fulfill the bond between master and servant.

  The old woman did not know that Liu'er had not packed the makeup box containing most of Liyue's valuables into her luggage, and Liu'er followed Baiju to go see Liyue again. "I'll go give her a final bow."

  Liu'er was shocked to see Liyue lying on the green brick floor outside the south wing corridor. She had been fine when she left for the main courtyard, but now her face was swollen like a pig's head, her hair was disheveled and there were bloodstains on it. If her eyes hadn't still been moving slightly, Liu'er would have thought she was dead. Serves her right!

  Liu'er spat in her heart and knelt down to kowtow to Li Yue: "Your servant can no longer serve you, Miss, take care of yourself."

  Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow. If it weren't for Liu Er hastily agreeing to come and serve Li Yue earlier, she would have really thought that Liu Er was a loyal one.

  The little maid who was originally left to take care of Wei Yiniang also looked at Bai Zhi with a face full of expectation. Bai Zhi pulled her over and instructed: "With the New Year approaching, if there's anything unpleasant or inauspicious during the festival...

  "After the New Year, it's none of my business."

  That girl understood, her eyes shining brightly: "Don't worry, White Zhī sister, I will do my best to take care of it."

  Bai Zhi smiled and nodded: "I have a dish of lotus seed sugar cake that my wife gave me, I'll give it to you."

  That girl almost drooled when she said thank you sweetly.

  As she was about to leave, Bai Ju turned her head and took a glance at the desolate Southern Courtyard, letting out a snort from her nose.

  Madam Liu was startled by Liu Er's description and couldn't bear to watch the commotion anymore, so she called Cui Ping and wanted to go to the main courtyard. Cui Ping didn't understand: "What are you doing, Madam?"

  "Go and apologize to your wife."

  "Huh?"

  Madam Liu smiled with a hint of bitterness, "Don't forget that Madam had me take charge of the entire courtyard. Now that Liyue has caused such a big commotion, if Madam thinks I'm incompetent, I have no way to refute it. Who knows whether Liyue's actions were instigated by me behind her back?"

  "What does this have to do with you?" Cuiping asked in confusion.

  "It all depends on how the wife looks at it." With Wei Yiniang and Li Yue's precedents, Liu Yiniang didn't want to end up like that either. Although they had brought it upon themselves by provoking the wife, if the wife wanted to take advantage of them, these concubines were still just a lip-service away from trouble.

  The lady now has the confidence, and it's no longer the time when she had to yield to Wei Niang. No matter what the lady thinks, she first puts on a pose and clears herself.

  Su Ying knew that Liu Yiniang had come to apologize, and she curled up the corners of her mouth. She had never seen anyone so eager to apologize before. Was she being put on a pedestal? Was she being treated like a fierce beast?

  Liu Yiniang drank tea in the side house for a while, and then Lu Hui came over to say that the mistress was not feeling well and asked her to come in. She also said that the mistress did not blame her and she didn't need to be so frightened. Moreover, someone had packed the tea leaves Liu Yiniang had drunk earlier into a package for her to take back and drink. With a good face, they saw Liu Yiniang off.

  She couldn't show her disgust on her face, no matter how she felt. She received it politely and humbly, with a posture that couldn't be lower. When she returned to her own room, she couldn't help but let out a sigh.

  。

  Cui Ping hesitated for a moment before asking: "Auntie, what does this mean?"

  Madam Liu looked at a package of tea leaves she had placed on the table, glared at Cui Ping, and Cui Ping nodded and lowered her head.

  Lü Huai received a letter from Yongping and was hesitant to tell Su Ying. Su Ying looked up at her, and she couldn't help but go over and say: "Master doesn't plan to send Wei Niang to the villa for quiet retirement, but plans to move her to the most remote house on the north side, as a nun."

  "Oh." Su Ying's tone was light, she was originally still thinking about what this was all about, whether Fu Yeyang had softened or not. But when she remembered that the man was no longer a heavy burden she needed to carry on her back, the thought was immediately cut off.

  Lü Huì carefully observed her expression, Su Ying felt somewhat annoyed. She lay down on the pillow, turning to face the wall.

  Lü Xi was taken aback at first, and for some reason, he felt that his wife was being a bit childish. He was amused by his own thoughts. When he burst out laughing, he quickly covered his mouth.

  Su Ying was deeply twisted, she herself knew that she was being twisted, but others didn't notice at all. Plus, during the busy New Year's festival, several big girls were also pulled to help, and no one noticed her usual changes.

  The only one who felt deeply was Luwa, who couldn't speak. Still, from time to time, she received Su Ying's "kind care", and was scared several times, all of which were dark history.

  That day, Su Ying hugged Lu Wa and her mother warmly again. Lu Wa's grape-like eyes were shining with water, and his small mouth was red and tender. Compared to his brother Fu Er, who was white and chubby, he looked a bit thin, which made it easier to tell them apart as brothers.

  "Oh my goodness~" Su Ying called out in a sweet and sticky tone, then whispered, "You know where my backpack went? The one I originally played with was sealed by you, right? And the rewards I got here were taken from my original backpack, weren't they? Wow, this game system is really amazing."

  Luwa made an effort to widen her eyes and said with a naive expression: "What are you talking about? I don't understand!"

  Su Ying turned a blind eye to this and continued to care about it: "Before, I had no way to deal with you, but now you are in my hands, whether to pinch or flatten depends on my mood."

  Lucky doll's blowpipe is full of tears, and her big eyes are like grapes soaking in water.

  。

  "That day, Liyue's face was really because of your mischief, it was really impressive." Su Ying's face was clearly written with "what a pity, what a pity", Luwa was completely helpless, he just deceived her once, and besides, he spent so much effort to rescue her back, can't he get some interest? What a stingy ghost.

  Luwa is not completely defenseless, he has a lethal weapon - crying.

  Moreover, when he cries, Fu Er also follows suit, wave after wave, crying until Su Ying is exhausted. Fu Er is still her biological son, while the variant version of Lu Wa was a gift, meaning that originally Su Ying only had one child in this pregnancy, and Lu Wa, the system version of the doll, was just born through Su Ying's belly. This somewhat comforted Su Ying.

  Moreover, Luwa is still in her hands, and after rubbing and kneading, Su Ying will be happy later, so she's not in a hurry now.

  Before the Chinese New Year, Fu Lu's twins finally had big names, Fu Yun and Fu Chen.

  Fu Yiyang finally settled on these two names after rummaging through all the classics, and in his words, "only such names can match up to his son", haha.

  Su Ying relieved herself, and with the younger generation busy, there's also the real baby Fu'er wrapped around her, time flies when she's busy, in the blink of an eye it's already been a month since these two kids were born.

  Seasonal Mansion

  Ji Xiangxiang was once again refused by Mrs. Ji, so she went to find Pan Ruyue, who had caught a cold and was lying in bed, and complained: "The mistress is really something, I just wanted to join in the fun, to see if the twins looked exactly alike, but she wouldn't let me."

  Pan Ruyue's eyebrows were filled with a clear and melancholic air, her appearance was pitiful and weak. She asked perfunctorily: "Whose relative is it?"

  Ji Xianxian widened her eyes: "You don't know? That's right, you're not in good health every day, and it's not easy for people to talk about these things in front of you." She muttered a sentence and then said: "It's the Yongwu Marquis' mansion. In terms of generation, I should call him Big Brother. The lady said that the last time the twins were born, the scene was quite grand."

  This was like a thunderclap to Pan Ruyue, her voice trembling: "You're saying that Yi... no, the child of the Marquis of Yongwu's first month is a son? Is he the eldest son?" No, even if not the eldest son, it doesn't add up, didn't Elder Brother Yi only have one daughter?
