Rebirth: Remarrying the Emperor's Uncle

Chapter 172 Chess Pieces (Part )
The entrance of Jinhe Hall.

Bao'er was skipping rope. When she saw Fei Cui coming, she threw the rope and ran to meet her.

"Sister Emerald, you are here, the eldest lady is waiting!"

She pulled the hem of Jade's clothes and walked into the courtyard, "The young lady punished me just now, saying that I shouldn't have been arrogant and ruined her reputation for no reason. The young lady fined me half a month's monthly money, and sister Ling'er even called me. out of my hand."

She stretched out her slender hand, the palm of which was marked red by the skipping rope, "Look, sister, it's still red now."

Jade listened silently, not speaking.

When we arrived at Xiaokuayuan, we entered the main room.

Jade handed the box to Ling'er, then knelt down and kowtowed meticulously to Han Youning.

"Greetings to the eldest lady. The second lady asked the servant to bring a message, saying that if you don't understand anything, just send someone to ask her."

Han Youning smiled and said, "Miss Jade get up and sit down. You salute so formally, it's like meeting you for the first time."

Fei Cui stood aside and didn't sit down, "Miss doesn't care about these etiquettes because you are virtuous, but slaves have to obey the rules. You have just returned to the Duke's Mansion, and the status of the eldest lady has just been confirmed. This is the first time for slaves to greet you." You should kneel down and kowtow."

Han Youning took off a pair of jade bracelets from his wrists and asked Ling'er to hand them to her.

"Since you gave such a big gift, I can't be stingy anymore, I have to give a meeting gift."

Fei Cui declined, "How can I accept such a heavy gift from you, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it to Second Miss later."

Han Youning smiled, "You just keep it. This bracelet was bought from a silver shop, and there is no other imprint on it. The second sister can still tell that I gave it to you."

Jade clasped her hands and didn't answer.

Ling'er stuffed the bracelet into her hand, and said with a smile, "Sister said she bought it herself. The first maid in your house is not worthy of wearing a jade bracelet. A better bracelet than this, I There are several copies there, let’s go, I’ll take my sister to have a look.”

As soon as Fei Cui hesitated, Ling'er dragged her out, turned her head and said to Han Youning, "Miss, please read the account book first, and call your servant if you have anything to do."

Han Youning smiled and waved, "Go."

Ling'er took Fei Cui to her room, took out three boxes from the cage, opened them and laid them out one by one.

The three boxes contained a dazzling array of gold, jade and jewellery. Ling'er took out several gold and jade bracelets and handed them to Jade.

"Sister Fei Cui, look, this is all rewarded by the young lady. I'm slowly saving up, so that when I marry in the future, even if I don't have a lot of red makeup, I can always marry with a more dignified appearance than ordinary young ladies."

Holding the bracelet, Fei Cui asked doubtfully, "Marry? My younger sister is the maidservant of the young lady. It is said that the young lady will accompany her when she leaves the court. How can you decide whether to marry or not?"

Ling'er sat beside her, "Miss said that the most miserable woman in the world is a concubine, and it's fine for her to suffer, but she also wants to make her children suffer, so she is not willing to let me suffer. You see The third young lady knows that our mansion is still Kuanhe, so the respect she receives in the mansion is not as respected as that of your elder sister?"

She lowered her head and blushed, twisted her handkerchief and said shyly, "Miss said, when I get old, I will definitely let me get married in a bright red wedding gown, marry a good boy and be a dignified lady, and I don't have to live on my knees."

Emerald looked bewildered, and muttered to herself, "Pure lady, red wedding dress... which daughter wouldn't want it."

Ling'er laughed and teased her, "Could it be that my sister wants to marry someone? Which one do you like? If you are embarrassed, let the eldest lady talk to the second lady for you!"

Fei Cui smiled wryly, "Where is there any good family, and I don't have such a good life to get a lenient master, it's not easy to let go of the house."

Ling'er smiled back, "I also guessed a bit of my sister's suffering. I was slapped by the second lady here a few days ago..."

She leaned closer to Fei Cui, and said in a low voice, "I heard the gossip from the woman in the mansion, saying that the old man had two aunts who died young. Since then, the old man I have never taken concubines again, and few returned to the mansion. The second young lady was taught by the old lady. I am afraid that if you will be taken over by the future son-in-law in the future... After all, the life of a slave is cheap, and you will die if you die. Just die, no one will care."

Ling'er held the handkerchief to wipe away the tears that hadn't come out at all, and secretly sighed, is it really necessary to do this movement taught by the young lady?

Jade sat silently for a long time.

She got up and went to the main room.

She looked at Han Youning who was carefully reading the account books, hesitated again and again, and finally said, "Miss, it is useless to read these accounts. There are always two sets of account books in the mansion, one is bright and the other is dark. The dark one is the real one."

Han Youning smiled, "I know."

Fei Cui was stunned, "Then why doesn't the Eldest Miss ask the Second Miss for it?"

Han Youning threw the account book in his hand aside, "Ever since I asked for my mother's dowry, I knew that the account in this house was a bad one. Since it is already rotten, what's the use of digging it out other than disgusting myself? The old lady didn't care about it for many years. The second sister has only taken over the account for a few days, and the little Wen family has already gone to prison, who can I ask to settle the matter? In the end, I just put the blame on the little Wen family."

Fei Cui's eyes flashed, "So, the eldest lady wants to directly attack the mothers in charge?"

Han Youning picked up the teacup and drank it with downcast eyes.

Fei Cui was secretly startled, and it was only then that she truly realized how powerful the eldest lady is.

Since she entered the mansion, she has been laying out the layout, step by step, driving the second room to a dead end, and finally revealed her identity, and gave them a final hammer blow, making them powerless to fight back.

Every move she makes seems careless, but she always wins by surprise.

And standing here at this time, why is she not a pawn in her game, whose position was determined early.

But what role she wants to make herself play is a bit confusing.

When serving tea to see off the guests, the eldest lady let herself go without asking any questions.

Fei Cui blessed the body again, "If Missy has nothing to ask, the servants will leave first."

Han Youning nodded, "Well, Ling'er sent Miss Jade."

"Yes."

Fei Cui walked to the door of the room, then turned around and said, "Those mothers who are in charge will not sit still, Missy should be more careful. Just now when the slaves came, they met Zhang Mama who was in charge of shopping in the big kitchen and Mama Chang who was on the stove. hospital."

Seeing that the eldest lady didn't seem surprised by these things, and she didn't intend to ask her to inquire about the news, she finally left the room.

Ling'er sent Fei Cui away, and asked curiously when she came back, "Miss, was Fei Cui really punished just now?"

Han Youning flipped through the account books, "Second Miss returned to the Hanyuan Courtyard half an hour later, Fei Cui came over, these fake accounts don't need to be falsified again, we are in a hurry, what did she delay for so long? Mama Zheng is in a hurry What did you do when you rushed to the Hanyu Courtyard?"

　Dear friends, guess what You Ning wants Jade to do?
