Chapter 218 Sending Aqi to Su Rongrong's side
Inside Lingyun Pavilion, Wei Jia was organizing her thoughts, carefully listing them out one by one on a piece of paper.
Upon seeing Su Rongrong enter, she instinctively covered the contents of the paper with something before standing up to greet her.
"Rongrong, come and sit down."
Su Rongrong took the opportunity to grab Wei Jia's outstretched hand and said with a smile, "You're such a busy person now! I haven't seen you all day."
Wei Jia smiled and explained, "Miss Biao is going to the palace tomorrow, and I'm preparing things for her to take with her."
"As expected of Sister Weijia, the Grand Madam needs you for everything, big or small."
Su Rongrong sincerely praised her, then said worriedly, "Sister Weijia, it seems Miss Biao has had an accident. Aren't you going to go and see her?"
"I'm not going. With Madam here, nothing will happen."
Wei Jia wasn't worried at all; instead, her expression showed a calm and composed demeanor that seemed to see through everything.
Su Rongrong looked at Wei Jia strangely, "Sister doesn't seem worried at all?"
Wei Jia smiled and said, "There's nothing to worry about. It's just that some people don't want Miss Biao to enter the palace."
It's been half a month since Qiao Yuanyao's entry into the palace was arranged, and the date of her entry is no longer a secret.
Given the Seventh Princess's three visits to Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage, it's natural that some people would harbor resentment.
She wasn't surprised at all that Qiao Yuanyao came to cause trouble the day before she entered the palace.
Therefore, she had Chen San and the others keep an eye out for all news related to the Marquis of Xuanping's residence, the Grand Madam, and Qiao Yuanyao very early on.
They even had people keep a close eye on the Crown Prince's residence and the Wu family's movements in advance, so that no matter what the slightest thing happened, it would not escape the eyes of Chen San and his group.
Su Rongrong opened her eyes in surprise, and finally exclaimed, "Sister Weijia is amazing! I wish I had someone as amazing as her by my side."
He looked at Wei Jia with envy, but his gaze went through Wei Jia and went in an unknown direction.
She started worrying about the future right after getting married.
Brother Yan said that from now on, the Enping Earl's Mansion will be handed over to her to manage.
But she felt like she couldn't do anything right!
Although she had been living in the Marquis's mansion for several months, her sister Weijia had been teaching her how to manage accounts, how to control servants, how to manage household affairs, and how to be a good mistress of the Marquis's mansion.
But she always felt uneasy and lacked confidence.
She didn't even have anyone around her who could help her!
She said enviously, "Sister Weijia can help the Grand Madam manage all the affairs, offer advice and strategies, and even help her make money... Ahhh! Why don't I have someone as capable as Sister Weijia around me?"
Wei Jia smiled and said, "I was able to show my skills because the Grand Madam gave me absolute trust. Otherwise, if I were held back, I wouldn't have been able to use my extraordinary abilities."
“That’s true.” Su Rongrong nodded in agreement. “I remember Sister Weijia telling me that when she first met the Grand Madam, the Grand Madam gave her the power of managing Songhe Hall.”
"Ah! My sister is truly amazing, and the Grand Madam is truly kind!"
Wei Jia looked at Su Rongrong with a smile, "The Grand Madam is very kind. She's kind to me, kind to the maids in the courtyard, kind to Miss Su, and kind to Rongrong as well."
Su Rongrong nodded quickly: "I know, the Grand Madam has been very kind to me, to Uncle Wu, and to Brother Yan. I will remember the Grand Madam's kindness. In the future, if there is anything Brother Yan and I can do to help, we will definitely go through fire and water."
Wei Jia's smile deepened. "Why say such things? The Grand Madam never expected anything in return from you or the Earl of Enping."
Seeing that Su Rongrong was about to say something more, Wei Jia quickly changed the subject, saying, "Oh, by the way, didn't you just say you wanted someone as capable as me?"
Upon hearing this, Su Rongrong's eyes widened in surprise, "Sister, are you going to help me find one?"
"If I say I have it, would you want it?"
Before Wei Jia could finish speaking, Su Rongrong immediately replied, "I want it! I want it!" Her tone was cheerful and eager.
Wei Jia smiled and shook her head, then added disappointedly, "Let me tell you in advance, that girl is still young, and right now she only has half of my skills. If you want her to be as good as me, she'll need to hone her skills for a few more years."
"Do you still want a girl like that?"
Su Rongrong was a little disappointed, but quickly cheered up again, "Yes, I want it. Someone like Sister Weijia must be one of a kind. To have even a fraction of Weijia's skills is impressive enough."
"Besides, my sister also said that the girl is still young and can be nurtured over time. Doesn't that mean that the girl has unlimited potential?"
The more Su Rongrong talked, the more excited she became. Finally, she couldn't wait to ask, "Who is she talking about, sister? Do I know her?"
Wei Jia didn't keep them in suspense and replied with a smile, "You know him. I'm talking about A Qi."
Su Rongrong thought about it seriously for a moment, then her eyes lit up. "Is it that Aqi who used to be in charge of the Grand Madam's tea and now serves her personally?"
"I remember Ah Qi was really good at managing accounts! He was also very good at reading people! And he had a lot of knowledge about various teas!"
Su Rongrong liked it more and more as she talked about it, but then she became a little worried. "I remember that the Grand Madam also liked Aqi very much."
Wei Jia smiled and shook her head, "It's alright. There are plenty of capable maids around the Grand Madam. We don't need Aqi alone."
"The Dowager is kind-hearted and will certainly not object if she hears that Aqi can have a better place to go."
"Really?" Su Rongrong was still a little uncertain.
Wei Jia comforted her, "Of course it's true. As long as you treat Aqi well, the Grand Madam will naturally not object."
Su Rongrong smiled and nodded, assuring her, "Don't worry, sister. I will trust Aqi just like the Grand Madam treated you, and treat Aqi like a younger sister."
"No, no, no, there's a difference between master and servant. You can trust Aqi and let her do what she's supposed to do, showcasing her talents." Wei Jia smiled and reminded her, "You need to be careful about how you handle this."

Meanwhile, at the main gate of the Xuanping Marquis's residence, Wenxiu had already quietly informed Min Qiaoshi of all the facts she had learned.
Min Qiao sneered and looked coldly at the three people in the room.
"Chunya, right?"
With a half-smile, Madam Min looked at "Chunya," who was still pretending to act, and said mockingly, "I had no idea that the maid Xiaocui from Cuihong Pavilion had changed her name and even found a fiancé?"
As she spoke, Madam Min Qiao looked at Jiang Junyan with a mocking gaze, "Isn't Young Master Jiang a scholar? What, you haven't even achieved fame and success yet, and you're already indulging in pleasure and promising your life to a courtesan?"
Upon hearing this, Chun Ya became agitated and roared, "What nonsense are you spouting? I don't know any Xiao Cui, much less any Cui Hong Xuan or Lü Hong Xuan! You're making baseless accusations! You're defaming my innocence!"
Jiang Junyan, standing to the side, remained expressionless, but his eyes were filled with disappointment and accusation.
He didn't respond to Min Qiaoshi's words, but instead focused his gaze on Qiao Yuanyao.
"Miss Qiao, are you really going to treat me like this? I've already said I wouldn't bother you anymore, why can't you just leave me alone?"
"Would you really be happy if you destroyed me?"
Have you forgotten 'Youjian Bookstore' where we met?
Have you forgotten the "lotus gentleman" we both admire?
Have you forgotten all those wonderful times we spent chatting about everything under the sun?
The accusations and denunciations portrayed Qiao Yuanyao as a shameless, treacherous, and heartless woman!
