Chapter 77: This is the only time, it will never happen again
Having been in the back house for so many years, Aunt Wang, like Madam Sun, saw through Song Zichuan's role and Zhu Yingyan's intentions at a glance.
Qiu Jian collected all the scraps of paper and put them into the incense burner to burn them:
"Third Young Master has done it, Aunt, what should we do?"
Unexpectedly, Third Young Master's actions were faster than Aunt Wang's words.
Aunt Wang stamped her feet:
"What else can we do? Hurry up and pick some good things. I'll give Second Miss a gift and apologize."
Zhu Xuntao's status has risen, and the first four times Aunt He sent her things seemed rare.
Now, no one in the Zhu Mansion will be surprised if someone sends Zhu Xuntao good things.
If you don't flatter Zhu Xuntao before she officially becomes the Crown Prince's Consort, do you have to wait until she gets married?
At that time, Zhu Xuntao lived in the Yongjing Marquis's Mansion, and the people in the Mansion couldn't flatter her even if they wanted to.
"Miss, would you like to see her?"
Qiuyue looked surprised. There were so many people who came to see the young lady today.
It goes without saying that the Crown Prince Xiao is her aunt.
After a while, the old man came and showed great concern for the young lady. As
soon as the old man left, the housekeeper Wang came with a bunch of supplements and asked her to prepare them for the young lady.
So, she didn't even mention Aunt He's handkerchief.
Now, even Aunt Wang is here.
Compared with Aunt He's shabby handkerchief, Qiuyue affirmed Aunt Wang's sincerity.
"Take the gift, and tell Aunt Wang that there won't be a next time."
After hearing these words from Qiuyue's mouth, Aunt Wang was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat.
She hasn't told the Second Miss anything yet, but the Second Miss knows everything?
Anyway, in Aunt Wang's memory, they only let Zhu Xuntao down in the matter of Song Zichuan.
"Thank you, Second Miss, I promise, there won't be a next time."
Aunt Wang didn't dare to say more. She finally got Zhu Xuntao's forgiveness.
She didn't want Zhu Xuntao to change his mind and make a fuss with her because of her entanglement.
Qiuyue, as the messenger, didn't have any expression on her face, but in fact, she had a hundred questions in her heart.
Only this time, which time was it?
When did Aunt Wang offend the Second Miss?
She has always been with the Second Miss, there is no reason for her not to know.
Out of curiosity, Qiuyue ran to ask Zhu Xuntao which time it was.
Zhu Xuntao rummaged through the pile of things sent by Aunt Wang, and pulled out a piece of goose yellow material and a magnolia hairpin:
"These two things are for you."
"If you like this color, make a new dress and wear it for me to see."
"Thank you, Miss!"
Qiuyue took the soft cloth and liked the color and pattern of the cloth very much.
She was thinking about what kind of dress to make, so she didn't remember this time or that time.
Zhu Xuntao was very satisfied with this.
She couldn't do much, but she could still protect Qiuyue, a silly girl.
Zhu Xuntao had no intention of mentioning the little thoughts of Aunt Wang and Aunt He to Qiuyue, wanting Qiuyue to continue to be silly.
There are not many people she can protect, but it is not difficult to protect Qiuyue for a lifetime.
Aunt He colluded with Madam Wang and used Butler Wang to make things difficult for herself. Zhu Xuntao didn't know?
This matter was hidden from Madam Sun, but Zhu Xuntao was not deceived. The
reason why she didn't settle accounts with Aunt He was that Aunt He was lucky.
All the hardships she suffered in her childhood were given by her biological mother.
Who made her born by Madam Sun? There are some truths that cannot be explained, just like you can't choose your birth.
Later, Aunt He may have seen some clues and felt that she could use her to deal with her biological mother.
So since she was eleven years old, Aunt He would test her every year and try to form an alliance with her.
It was also from that time that Aunt He asked Butler Wang to deliberately put aside her affairs to make things more difficult for her and force her to take action.
Aunt He never thought that she was no longer the child who could be kicked by anyone and had no ability to protect herself when she was young.
From then on, the suppression and cold violence of her biological mother were nothing in Zhu Xuntao's eyes, and the harm was greatly reduced.
Mrs. Sun's methods were like this, so what about Aunt He's drumming?
But the evil people were real.
Counting it this way, only Aunt Wang's hands and feet were relatively clean.
"Miss, I will help you put away the other things first?"
After being happy for a while, Qiuyue did not forget her job.
Zhu Xuntao shook her head: "The same as before, deal with them all, don't leave a single thing."
While these things can still be sold at a high price, it is better to save more money.
These things are useless without money.
"Selling again."
Qiuyue was so disappointed,
"This servant has got new dresses and hairpins, why don't you keep some for yourself, young lady?"
Her treatment was almost better than that of the young lady.
"Young lady, we have money now, we don't need it, why don't you stop selling it and use it yourself."
Qiuyue really felt sorry for her young lady.
It was right to save money when you were poor. Now that
you have money, why doesn't the young lady treat you better.
"It's different, you don't understand."
She had enough food, clothes and shelter, so there was no need to keep these.
They had better places to go.
Qiuyue twisted her eyebrows, she didn't understand, she was a little maid, of course she didn't know anything, and the young lady refused to tell her.
Qiuyue, who had complaints in her heart, did things in a very honest way. She did whatever the young lady said.
She did this frequently recently, and Qiuyue became an expert, and her efficiency was getting higher and higher.
"Young lady, I have exchanged almost 500 taels."
Qiuyue handed the banknotes to Zhu Xuntao:
"Young lady, I think the shopkeeper of that store is really honest in doing business, and the value he gives is higher and higher each time."
"Unlike at the beginning, he always liked to lower our price."
Qiuyue has accumulated experience in whether the price is reasonable or not.
Now, knowing that there is no loss in the exchange, Qiuyue is
very happy. It is a pity that the things are gone and the young lady did not use them .
But when she saw the banknotes in the young lady's box slowly filling up, Qiuyue felt so comfortable that she had nothing to say.
Zhu Xuntao knew how to tease Qiuyue.
After finally filling the box, Zhu Xuntao was ready to send it out in a blink of an eye:
"Qiuyue, send a letter to Uncle Qian and ask him to come."
For ordinary people, time passed quickly enough.
For Zhu Xuntao, each day was like being fast-forwarded, playing in multiples.
Staying in the back house with no one to help, there was really too little she could do.
If she hadn't gotten a lot of good things through her marriage to Xiao Jingzhan, she wouldn't have been able to pick up even the little money in the box.
Even so, this money was still not enough.
"Miss?"
Qiuyue was surprised,
"Hasn't the thing you asked Uncle Qian to find been found? Why do you still have to give Uncle Qian money?"
"We have finally saved a little money, Miss, don't spend it all, this is all your pocket money."
Zhu Xuntao shook her head, this money must be given away and exchanged for something else.
"Miss..."
Qiuyue had no choice but to stamp her feet and go to work obediently.
