Chapter 42

Granny Liu was taken aback: "What...does this mean?"

Yunxi smiled slightly: "It's inconvenient for me to go out, but I want to know what's going on in Luoyang City. Have Doukou wander around the streets more often and send back any exciting news from Luoyang City. That would be doing me a favor."

Granny Liu suddenly realized.

“Of course, I won’t let her do it for nothing,” Yunxi said. “I’ll give her half a tael of silver a month, and the silver for gathering information will be calculated separately. Go back and ask her what she thinks.”

Granny Liu's face lit up with joy.

Although the child has been rescued, for some reason, he is not close to her at all, and even seems to be somewhat resistant. If she could take over the job that the second young lady is doing, then the mother and daughter would have a chance to talk properly every day.

Besides, there's such a generous monthly allowance.

"Yes! This old servant will go right away!"

The door to the back room was closed again. Yunxi glanced at Jixiang, who also breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "What are you afraid of?"

Jixiang was surprised that she had been discovered, and the breath she had just breathed a sigh of relief immediately came back: "This servant is not afraid, Miss is mistaken."

Yunxi nodded, then suddenly sighed, "Jixiang, you've been taking care of me ever since I came to the capital. If only your indenture were with me."

A lucky thought suddenly occurred to him.

yes.

If only her indenture were in Yunxi's hands.

Silence fell over the back room for a moment.

Just then, there was another knocking on the door.

The sound is clearly that of pearls.

Yunxi twitched the corner of her mouth.

Her run-down place is bustling today.

Ji Xiang snapped out of her daze and went to open the door: "Pearl Girl."

Pearl gave an arrogant "hmm," then looked at Yunxi, who hadn't gotten up yet, and said, "Madam has arrived. Miss, please change your clothes and come with me to the front."

The door to the back room was closed again, and Yunxi began to have some doubts.

Why is Madam Yun here?

This didn't seem to happen in my previous life.

But since the person had arrived, she naturally had to go out and meet them.

With great difficulty, she got out of bed, changed into a maid's outfit, and went out.

Ahead, Madam Yun and Yun Wan stood together, the mother and daughter chatting and laughing, seemingly engrossed in something. Yun Wan clung to Madam Yun's arm affectionately, and Madam Yun smiled kindly.

What a beautiful scene of a loving mother and filial daughter.

Yunxi lowered her eyes and stepped forward calmly: "Madam, Young Madam."

"My sister's here," Yun Wan walked over to her and affectionately took her arm. "You've come at just the right time. Mother was just asking how you've been doing at the Marquis's residence!"

Yunxi gave a slight smile: "The young mistress treats me very well."

"You're my sister, so of course I'll treat you well!" Yun Wan smiled, but a chill was hidden in her eyes.

She linked arms with Yunxi, but secretly pinched the flesh of her arm with one hand, twisting it hard half a turn, warning her not to give anything away.

Helpless, Yunxi could only force a smile.

Seeing the smile on Yunxi's face, a smile that seemed to want to refuse but dared not, Madam Yun felt inexplicably uneasy.

“Alright,” Madam Yun said calmly, “I’ve come here today to talk to you about something.”
