Jiang Segu sat at the head of the table, looking at the two people kneeling on the ground.

Qiaolian apologized to her a couple of days ago, saying that she was confused for a moment and that she would never have such thoughts again.

Jiang Segu believed it!

But today, the colorful cow actually managed to escape, and she just can't get over it!

Since Cai Niu entered the mansion, no one has come to her courtyard.

And no one in her courtyard approached Cai Niu.

Peony has been unusually well-behaved these days, no longer seeking doctors, no longer entertaining guests, and no longer going to see her father.

The more obedient the mother and daughter were, the more uneasy Jiang Segu felt.

She always felt that the two of them were plotting something!

Cai Niu, unaware of Jiang Segu's thoughts, was itching unbearably on her back but dared not scratch. She could only move her body slightly and mustered her courage to say, "Miss, my body is so itchy. Please have pity on me and let me go wash up first, so as not to offend your noble eyes."

Jiang Segu looked at her disheveled appearance and smelled the faint sour smell in the air. Although it smelled bad, she felt refreshed!

Therefore, revenge does not necessarily mean the other party has to die. Seeing the other party groveling before you, in a position so low as to be nothing, seems to be more satisfying!

Zhao's mother really got a good deal back then!

"Since you are alright now, go and wash up first!"

Cai Niu breathed a sigh of relief, thanked them repeatedly, and ran out.

As soon as she left, Qiaolian hurriedly explained, "Miss, just now, Granny Hou came looking for me, saying that you need to wear the Moonflower Dress tomorrow, but she couldn't find it, so she asked me to help. I saw that Cai Niu was asleep, so I..."

Standing to the side, Mama Hou lowered her eyes and said, "Miss, it was this old servant who went to call Qiaolian, which allowed that little hussy to take advantage of the situation. If you want to punish someone, punish this old servant instead!"

Therefore, Qiaolian is indeed innocent.

"Get up! Since she's determined to come out, there's nothing you can do to stop her!"

Since no one has come looking for her these past few days, let's see what she does next!

"Qiaolian, this time, you'd better keep a close eye on her!"

Qiaolian is right.

Qiaohe stood aside, smugly pleased with herself!

Therefore, when the girl goes out tomorrow, she will definitely take her with her!

Jiang Segu caught a glimpse of Qiaohe secretly gloating out of the corner of his eye, and asked unhurriedly, "Is the headband I embroidered for you finished?"

Qiaohe immediately looked distressed. "My dear lady, please tell me what I did wrong. Tell me, and I will definitely change. Please don't make me bring needle and thread again!"

She stretched out her hands in front of Jiang Segu, "Miss, look at my hands, they're practically pierced like sieves! It's the old lady's birthday, seeing blood is never a good thing!"

Then he squatted down in front of Jiang Segu and said, "Miss, you have been learning from the eldest young lady for so long, your skills are beyond question. Why don't you make some pastries or longevity peaches for the old lady yourself?"

While speaking, she shook Jiang Segu's hand, having learned about 70-80% of Jiang Segu's ability to act coquettishly in front of Old Madam Jiang!

Jiang Segu finally understood why her grandmother would agree to anything she asked for whenever she shook her.

This shaking is making me really dizzy!

When people are dizzy, they're bound to agree to anything!

"Alright, if you don't want to embroider, then don't! Go check on the steamed buns in the kitchen. If they're ready, send some to each courtyard. Keep one steamer to take back, send half to the neighbors, and keep the other half for ourselves..."

"Yes, ma'am!"

Qiaolian's eyes flickered slightly, but she managed to suppress the inappropriate turmoil in her heart.

At this moment, Madam Hou spoke up: "Miss, this old servant is going out of the manor to see Chang'an later. Why don't you let this old servant deliver Young Master Gu's portion of steamed buns to him?"

Jiang Segu nodded in agreement.

Qiaohe's joy faded slightly, and she pouted as she secretly calculated her losses!

Her son-in-law was very generous. Every time she delivered something, he would reward her with something, whether it was a small trinket or a snack.

Although it's not anything valuable, the son-in-law's thoughtfulness is what matters!

Therefore, every time Qiaohe saw Gu Songhan, she would call him "son-in-law" so smoothly.

The son-in-law is perfect in every way, but he's just too perfect, which is why all sorts of flies dare to swarm around him!

Yunniang is like a greenbottle fly among flies. Just looking at her is disgusting enough, not to mention her pretentious manner of swaying her fat buttocks and getting close to Gu Songhan all day long!

No, she has to go with Aunt Hou later.

So that Madam Hou wouldn't be unaware of the reason and suffer a loss!

As Qiaohe packed the buns, she thought to herself.

Unexpectedly, after she finished distributing the buns, Aunt Hou disappeared!

Qiaohe had no choice but to take the steamed buns back to the courtyard...

***

Gu Songhan was a little disappointed to see that the person bringing him food today was not the round-faced, cheerful maid who used to call him "son-in-law." But he knew Madam Hou. She was originally someone who served the little girl's mother, but later, by chance, she became the little girl's wet nurse and had been serving her ever since.

These are all things I've heard from Qiaohe on ordinary days!

Because she was a wet nurse, her status was extraordinary, so Gu Songhan gave Hou Mama a lot of face.

Not only did he personally get up to greet her, but he also invited Madam Hou to sit down and talk.

If Qiaohe knew this, she would definitely pout and say that Gu Songhan was playing favorites!

Mrs. Hou didn't stand on ceremony; after thanking her, she sat down in the chair.

However, only half of them were occupied.

It was the first time Gu Songhan had met Hou's mother, and he felt a little uneasy.

Madam Hou spoke first, "Young Master Gu, are you curious as to why this old servant has come to deliver food to you on behalf of the young lady today?"

Without waiting for Gu Songhan's reply, Madam Hou said seriously, "I heard from Qiaolian that you have been kind to our young lady, and our young lady has been cooking for you every day to express her gratitude."
