Chapter 11 Idea

Nanny Nan first returned to her residence and powdered her face, barely covering the red mark. Then she returned to Shousong Hall, lowered her head, replied to Madam Yuan from a distance, and hurried out.

After leaving Shousong Hall, Nan Ma thought for a while and then went to Tongxiang Courtyard.

"Miss, Nanny Nan from the old lady's room is here!" The little maid from Tongxiangyuan bowed to Yuan Zitong and said softly.

Before the little girl finished her words, Nan Ma walked in with a smile: "Greetings to the young lady!"

"Madam Nan, how come you have time to come here today?" Yuan Zitong supported Lian Qiao's hand and sat on the Arhat bed, then instructed the little girl, "Hurry and find a seat for Madam Nan!"

Nan Mama smiled as she sat down and chatted with Yuan Zitong for a few words. Then she took out a small light blue purse from her bosom and respectfully placed it on the small table of the Luohan bed. She smiled and said, "My dear, I have thought about it for a few days and feel that this is not very appropriate. If the old lady knew about it, I am afraid that I would be the one who suffered the consequences. I hope that my dear will understand!"

When Nanny returned the things, Yuan Zitong understood what she meant. She suppressed her unhappiness, glanced at the purse, and said with a smile, "I'm just worried that grandma will scold my second sister when she remembers it later, so I thought of asking Nanny to give it a secret reminder. Since it's inconvenient for Nanny, I can't force it!"

Nan Ma curled her lips inwardly, but smiled on the surface: "This old servant naturally knows that the eldest lady has good intentions, but the second lady has just returned to the capital and has just been ill, so many things are still unsettled. I think after you two sisters have been together for a while, the second lady will understand the eldest lady's painstaking efforts!"

"I was thinking too much. Thank you for your advice, Ma'am!" Yuan Zitong smiled gently, looking at the faint red mark on Ma'am Nan's cheek, and said with a smile: "Ma'am, what good news did you have today? You actually put on rouge."

Nan Ma was startled, realizing that the red mark was not completely covered. She touched her cheek and smiled awkwardly: "Why would an old slave like me wear rouge at my age? It was just an accidental rub-off. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, young lady!"

"That was my mistake!" Yuan Zitong smiled and said, "I'm young and outspoken, so please don't worry about it, Ma'am!"

"No, no!" Nan Ma said hurriedly.

After a few more words, Nanny Nan left!

Lian Qiao patted Yuan Zitong's shoulders and said, "Miss, I'm afraid this Nan Ma is not useful."

"Hmph!" Yuan Zitong tightened her grip on the teacup. "She's nothing but a piece of trash. I'm afraid she's hit a wall with my good sister and got a lot of rubbish!"

Lian Qiao thought about the red mark on Nanny Nan's cheek and nodded: "The mark on her face is clearly from being slapped."

"That old guy also has some shame!" Yuan Zitong sneered.

"Then... Miss, we don't need Nanny Nan anymore?" Lian Qiao looked at Yuan Zitong's face carefully and asked tentatively.

"But I'm just letting her take the lead!" Yuan Zitong took a sip of tea. "It's also a way to test my good sister's abilities. If it works, then it works. If it doesn't, then it doesn't matter. Humph, it seems that the bitch was really good at pretending in the past. I'm afraid her good nature before was all fake!"

After saying that, Yuan Zitong glanced at Lian Qiao and said, "You've always had a lot of ideas. If you have any ideas, don't hide them. Just tell me. If I need them, how can I let you down?"

"Yes!" Lian Qiao nodded quickly, rolled her eyes, and whispered in Yuan Zitong's ear.

Yuan Zitong, who originally looked unhappy, slowly revealed a smile after hearing Lian Qiao's words. She looked at Lian Qiao with satisfaction and said, "You really are a person with many ideas."

Lian Qiao smiled and bowed: "Thank you for the compliment, Miss. It is my honor to be able to share your worries!"

"Yes!" Yuan Zitong casually gave the coral beads in her hand to Lian Qiao: "Do your job well, and I will not treat you unfairly!"

"Thank you, young lady!" Lian Qiao happily took the coral beads and bowed to Yuan Zitong.

"But you still have to find out everything first, so as not to make any mistakes!" Yuan Zitong warned!

Lian Qiao quickly responded, "That's all I need to do. Don't worry, young lady!"

Yuan Zitong nodded in satisfaction and casually asked, "When will Yinqiao come back? It's been over half a month!"

Yinqiao is Yuan Zitong's other maid. She is a house-born girl. Her parents are both on the farm. A few days ago, her mother fell ill, and her family came to ask for mercy and let Yinqiao go home to take care of her!

The Dali Dynasty attached great importance to filial piety. When encountering such a thing, the master of the house would naturally not interfere.

"Miss, you forgot that her mother was dying, so she asked someone to bring a message back. The madam agreed and even gave her money for the funeral." Lian Qiao said hurriedly.

"Oh, I forgot!" Yuan Zitong rubbed his forehead: "How is her family now?"

"I heard that her mother has been buried and she is at home in mourning. I think she is afraid of disturbing the eldest girl, so she will probably return home a few days later!" Lian Qiao hurriedly told Yuan Zitong the news.

"Ask someone to tell her that she doesn't need to rush back and should just stay at home and observe mourning!" A hint of disgust flashed across Yuan Ziyu's eyes, and he didn't mention asking Yinqiao to come back quickly.

"yes!"

Yuan Zitong looked at the purse on the table and thought of Yuan Ziyu again!

Now Yuan Ziyu is a thorn in her side. Not only is he better off than her in terms of food, clothing and other necessities, but he also dilutes her grandmother's love. What's more hateful is that he has snatched away the man she likes.

Just thinking about it, Yuan Zitong felt angry!

Looking at the things in her room again, she became even more annoyed. They were all girls from the Yuan family, so why were there such big differences between them?

Then, remembering that this purse had been used by Nanny Nan, he told Lian Qiao, "Keep the silver in the purse for rewards, and chop up this purse!"

"yes!"

"Okay, I'm tired. I'll reject anyone who comes!"

"yes!"

At the hour of Mao on the second day, Yuan Ziyou started to worry!

At this time, there was only about half a month left before the Chinese New Year. Early in the morning, there was a light snowfall outside.

After washing up and having breakfast, Qingying and Qingzhi helped Yuan Ziyu comb his hair and change his clothes.

Qingzhi had the most dexterous hands. She tied a double bun for Yuan Ziyu's hair and pinned a circle of cherry pink crystal beads on each side. A small crystal bead flower hung on her forehead, making Yuan Ziyu look pretty and playful.

After serving Yuan Ziyu, she put on a pink feather satin coat and skirt with white fox fur flowers, changed into red sheepskin boots with gold thread, covered herself with a red feather gauze cloak with white fox fur lining, and put on a snow hat.

Qingying brought another silver carved hand warmer.

Yuan Ziyou smiled and said, "It's not that cold at all."

"My dear girl, you have just recovered from your illness, you must not catch a cold." Qingying hurriedly put the hand warmer in Yuan Ziyu's hand.

Yuan Ziyu took it with a smile, left Qingzhi to look after the house, and took Qingying to Shousong Hall.
