In her previous life, when she returned to Beijing with Lin Ziqi, Old Madam You had already passed away.

The Duke of Zhenguo's mansion protected the Crown Prince and won the Emperor's favor. Even after the Crown Prince's death, they never lost favor.

She had dealt with the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion several times, but knew very little about this old lady You.

Madam Gu suddenly sighed.

"I haven't gone out much these past few years, so I haven't seen you often, elder sister. I wonder how you are doing?"

The head maid smiled and said, "The old matriarch has been talking about the old lady a lot over the years. Last time our lady went to the Marquis's residence, she came back and said that the Lady of Dingbei Marquis was a very talented person. The old matriarch was eager to meet her, so she sent out an invitation under the pretext of celebrating her birthday. When she heard that you had arrived, she hurriedly urged me to come and invite you."

Madam Gu laughed and said, "You still know how to talk. Your older sister has kept you by her side to serve her all these years and is reluctant to let you go. I'm really envious. I wonder who will be lucky enough to take you away in the future."

The head maid smiled and said, "I swore an oath before the old lady that I would only serve her for the rest of my life and would not go anywhere else."

This is almost the same as self-combing. When the old lady passes away, she will probably have to keep vigil in the family temple.

Madam Gu was taken aback. "I didn't expect you to be so ambitious. Your older sister really did not spoil you for nothing. You are her favorite. When you didn't go to the vigil for the late Empress Dowager, she complained that she couldn't enjoy eating or doing anything without you serving her. She really couldn't bear to be without you for even a day."

Qin Yuan also glanced at the head maid.

Madam You was the wife of a first-rank duke, and she had a considerable private fortune. If she didn't have someone she trusted to keep her in check, she would have been completely swayed by her children and granddaughters-in-law long ago.
