Chapter 47 This is a good way to kill two birds with one stone

Lu Xinran slept very soundly that night. When she woke up, it was bright outside the window. She sat up in a daze and quickly got out of bed.

Cuizhu and Cuixi, who heard the noise outside, quickly opened the curtain and came in carrying basins of water.

"Why didn't you wake me up earlier? It's too late to pay respects to grandma at this hour."

"Miss, the old lady sent someone to tell you that everyone was exhausted at Ronghui Garden yesterday, so you don't need to go to her courtyard to pay your respects today."

Lu Xinran let out a long sigh and then fell back onto the bed with a thud.

As soon as they said this, she felt sleepy again.

She hugged Jin and rubbed her quilt comfortably. Her stomach growled. She sat up again and washed and changed her clothes with the help of the two of them, and then went outside to have breakfast.

She had never thought that she would fall so quickly, and within just a few days she had become so adept at using servants.

But...she doesn't know how to comb her hair!

She doesn't know how to tie any of these complicated buns, and she needs someone to help her organize her multi-layered dresses.

She sat at the table, looking at the crab meat buns trembling in the bamboo cage, confusion and astonishment alternating in her eyes.

Why is she treated so well all of a sudden?!

Is this the treatment only enjoyed by the wealthy masters in the mansion?

The book also contains the original body's vague memories, which show that the servants in the Lu mansion had always treated her badly.

It was after they both fell into the water that she came back. Nanny Qin was punished by the Zhao family, and Lu Xinlan came to her several times. The servants in the mansion saw this and gradually stopped looking down on her.

But when Cuizhu went to the kitchen, all she could get back were the most common dishes and snacks that others didn't want.

This kind of expensive food...wasn't it sent to the wrong place from the kitchen?

"Miss, this is your share. You will have all the girls in our house have in the future."

Cuizhu is not a very smart person and just tells her whatever she hears.

Instead, Tracy pulled her arm, signaling her not to talk nonsense.

Lu Xinran didn't think much about it. She picked up the clean wheat and put it into the soup bag.

While eating, I asked Tongzi in my mind how much health points I gained from eating the watermelon last night.

"Sixty-one days in total, host. We already have three months of life left."

"Why so many?"

Lu Xinran was stunned for a moment. She remembered that when she was in the waterside pavilion, she was only given watermelons for two or three days, but Kang's was the most valuable and only gave her five days.

Wasn't it just barely fifty days then? How come it suddenly became three months?

Tong Yin said happily, "Because you helped solve the case later. Did you forget that I was given ten days for the previous case?"

"So much for solving a case?"

Lu Xinran was in a daze, and always felt that he seemed to have found a good way to increase his health.

Tong Yin was also very excited, "Host, let's go to the Dali Temple. Lord Tang is upright and honest, a rare good official. If we go to help him, he will definitely agree."

Lu Xinran hesitated while slurping his soup dumpling, thinking about the feasibility.

If she wants to help solve the case, she must stay no more than ten steps away from the corpse. Such a close distance... She is scared!

She was a sickly person in her previous life, a sickly person who couldn't have any emotional ups and downs. She could only watch sweet TV series online, and she had never watched any murder-solving dramas of this type.

"Host, don't we have the heroine? The heroine is interested in solving cases. She enjoys the process of reasoning and looking at corpses. You just stand behind her and read the system manual. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"

Lu Xinran: “…”

This is true, but why does the heroine described by the system sound a bit perverted?

Could it be that this is the main reason why she and the male protagonist can have such a bloody and tragic relationship?

As she bit open the thin wrapper of the soup dumpling, she suddenly realized something.

After eating and drinking, she lazily sat under the eaves to enjoy the breeze for less than a quarter of an hour before being urged by the system to go to Lu Xinlan's yard.

"Second, second young lady," Bi Tao saw her face turn red instantly, and said awkwardly, "The eldest young lady went to the old lady's yard, do you want to come in and wait?"

"No."

Although Pei didn't need them to pay their respects, since Lu Xinlan had gone, they had to go too.

She would have to go out frequently to gain health points in the future, so she had to maintain a good relationship with the Pei family.

In Zhaoyun Courtyard, servants were kneeling on the ground, especially several stewards in the kitchen.

Zhao was supported by Lu Xinlan, her chest heaving violently with anger.

Although she looked down on the daughter who came back from the countryside, she was still a child of hers, so how could she allow these servants to bully her?

"Mother, please go sit inside for a while."

The staff in the kitchen is a bit complicated, and several managers are close confidants of each room.

This matter is difficult to handle. Whoever gets involved will offend people.

This is why Pei only made these people kneel in the yard and did not say how to deal with them.

Even though Zhao is...stupid, she shouldn't be the one to do this evil thing.

She took Zhao's arm and pulled her into the house with some force.

Zhao looked at her, her eyes flashing with confusion, hesitation, and belated understanding, and she clapped her hands with satisfaction.

"Fortunately, I still have you."

Pei couldn't bear to look at this stupid daughter-in-law. She looked out the window and saw the two stewards kneeling in the front, having a headache about what to do.

Lu Jinchuan's two favored concubines have given birth to children over the years and have managed a considerable number of staff in the mansion.

These two people are their confidants.

If they were close associates of the Zhao or Kong families, she would have dealt with them long ago.

But those two concubines were never easy to deal with. If you really punished them, they would come running and cry.

[What happened? Why are there so many servants kneeling in the courtyard? ]

[Isn't this the butler in the kitchen who has a scallion stuck in his nose? ]

[Look at how fat he is. I wonder how much money he has made in the kitchen over the years.]

[Unfortunately, these people all have backers behind them, and I can’t afford to offend any of them, otherwise I will definitely make them pay.]

Hearing the familiar voice, Pei, who was originally having a headache, suddenly had an idea.

Lu Xinran walked past everyone in the courtyard, knelt down to greet Mrs. Pei, and then reluctantly and perfunctorily bowed to Mrs. Zhao.

"Granddaughter pays respects to grandmother."

"Hey, dear boy, didn't I tell you to take a rest in the yard? Why did you come here anyway?"

Pei smiled and waved for her to come over and sit down. She didn't look haggard at all, as if the events that happened in Dingkang Marquis' Mansion in Ronghui Garden the night before did not have much impact on her.

Lu Xinran stole a few glances at her and saw that there was no unnecessary emotion on her face, so he carefully sat down next to her.

[What have those people in the hospital done wrong? Why haven't they been punished yet? If I can give them some leverage, can I let them get a few more beatings?]

[It would be best if I could get him out of the house. He looks down on people and makes things difficult for them! ]

Lu Xinran looked at the two managers in the courtyard. He opened the melon-eating system and was about to flip through the booklet when he realized that he didn't know their names yet.

"Tongzi, don't you think this is a bug? How can you know the other person's name before eating melons? You have to be within ten steps. I am too lazy to complain about this. Can you fix this problem?"

The childish voice sounded very aggrieved, "It's designed this way. It's useless for you to be fierce to Tongzi. Tongzi also wants you to recover your health points quickly."

Lu Xinran sighed, and was just thinking that it would be difficult to come up with a name when he heard Pei suddenly say.

"Wang Dazhuang, Zhao Sanfu, do you plead guilty?"
