"Second Miss"
Mother Chen walked up to Xu Wanyan woodenly and knelt down.
Xu Wanyan smiled slightly, "Mother Chen, the wound on your face has healed, you can be free now. I am counting on you to take care of Feiyun Garden."
Hearing this, Mother Chen looked up at her in surprise, not understanding what the second young lady meant for a moment.
"Feiyun Garden only has two maids, Qiaoyun and Xichun, and now we are in need of a housekeeper. Mother sent you here to help me."
Mother Chen suddenly felt that she couldn't understand the Second Young Lady in front of her. Didn't she dislike her? How could she...
Seeing that Mother Chen didn't move, Xu Wanyan asked doubtfully, "Could it be that Mother Chen doesn't want to?"
"No, no, no, I am willing. I am willing. I thank the Second Miss for the promotion."
She couldn't understand or guess what the second young lady was thinking, so she just went along with it.
Xu Wanyan stood up, walked over to Mother Chen, and helped her up. "From now on, you will be a member of our Feiyun Garden. Don't be so reserved."
"Yes, Second Miss."
Looking at Mother Chen who was now extremely respectful, Qiao Yun and Xichun couldn't help but sigh that the Second Young Miss was still quite capable.
"Miss, I have registered all the things that the master sent."
Xu Wanyan nodded and said, "Let Mother Chen take a look."
When Mother Chen took the list from Qiao Yun and took a closer look, she was shocked. How could the master be so nice to the second young lady?
She looked at the three-page booklet and felt very heavy-hearted. It seemed that things were going to change in the Grand Tutor's Mansion.
"Mother Chen, these have all been put into the warehouse. I wonder if you remember anything about the things on top?"
Mother Chen slowly raised her head and looked at Xu Wanyan who was drinking tea. She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.
"Mother Chen, these... you should have seen them before, right?"
After a long moment, Mother Chen nodded and said, "Second Miss, these are the dowry of the late Madam."
Qiao Yun and Xichun were stunned and immediately understood what Xu Wanyan had done.
Xu Wanyan's nose felt sore. Even though she had guessed it a long time ago, she still couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.
After a long while, she finally spoke: "Does Mother Chen know anything else?"
Mother Chen shook her head and said, "Second Miss, I know that the late Madam left behind quite a bit of dowry, but I've only seen a portion of it. Some of it is in this booklet."
Xu Wanyan nodded. It was normal that Zhao Yaru valued Mother Gu the most and Mother Chen was not so clear about it.
Just these things are probably enough to make Zhao Yaru angry for a long time.
"Xichun, accompany Mother Chen to familiarize herself with the internal affairs of Feiyun Garden."
"yes."
"Second Miss, I will go down first."
Xu Wanyan nodded and watched them leave.
Only when the two disappeared did Qiao Yun happily say, "Miss, I didn't expect that Mother Chen is so obedient now."
"She was resentful towards Zhao Yaru. She felt that Zhao Yaru didn't trust her and abandoned her, and she became a dispensable person."
"Isn't that the truth? Madam really doesn't trust her anymore. Madam Gu has never visited her even after coming here several times."
Xu Wanyan nodded, "After all, Zhao Yaru has a lot of useful people around her, so she feels that Mother Chen is dispensable."
Qiao Yun thought about it for a while and felt that it made sense.
"Miss, the master is treating you well now. Your good days are coming."
Xu Wanyan didn't show it on her face, but she was very contemptuous in her heart. Xu Maocai did this just to gain benefits from her.
It's too late now to show the deep love between father and daughter.
Xu Wanyan shook her head, unwilling to think about these things anymore. If she could get her mother's dowry back through this, it would not be a loss.
She stood up, walked to the desk, picked up a piece of paper, and whispered, "Take this prescription with you and find the owner of Huichuntang and have him take a look."
The owner of Huichuntang had dealings with Prince Chen's Mansion. In her previous life, she had met him several times when she was in Prince Chen's Mansion. He was an upright person with excellent character.
"Miss, are you ill? How come I don't know where you are feeling unwell?"
Looking at Qiao Yun's panic, Xu Wanyan shook her head and said, "No."
Qiao Yun breathed a sigh of relief. "Miss, do you know the owner of Huichuntang?"
Xu Wanyan shook her head. She didn’t recognize him in this life.
"Go ahead. Huichuntang has a good reputation in the capital. Let him see it."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
"Remember, don't let anyone see it except the shopkeeper."
"I don't need to do that. I go there secretly and come back secretly."
"good."
She felt much more at ease knowing Qiao Yun was doing things.
Although Xu Wanqing was under house arrest, she was freer. The servants in the mansion were transferred to Mingzhu Garden, and the gatekeepers relaxed their duties, giving Qiao Yun the opportunity to go out.

Qiao Yun walked all the way to Huichun Hall. Looking at the unremarkable entrance, she couldn't help but sigh, "Young lady, you really know how to find a place. It's really not easy to be discovered here."
"Girl, how can I help you?"
As soon as Qiao Yun entered the door, a man who looked like an apprentice walked over.
It was the first time that Qiao Yun heard such a comfortable question, and she smiled and said, "I'm here to see the shopkeeper."
"Okay, girl, wait."
After saying that, the apprentice walked into the inner room, and an old man soon came out.
Seeing that the old man had white hair but a rosy complexion, Qiao Yun suddenly believed what the young lady said.
"Shopkeeper, I have a prescription here. I'd like to ask the old gentleman to help me take a look at it."
After saying that, he presented the prescription with both hands.
Shopkeeper Tong took a look at the little girl in front of him. Judging from her dress, she should be a maid from a wealthy family. If she asked him to look at the prescription, he might be involved in some dirty business.
He instinctively felt some repulsion in his heart. If he hadn't been nosy back then, Huichuntang wouldn't have been stuck in this small alley.
"My dear lady, I am only responsible for treating the disease. As for the prescription... please ask whoever can prescribe it!"
After saying that, he returned the unopened prescription to Qiao Yun.
"Hey, this..."
This was something Qiao Yun had not expected, and she was stunned for a moment.
"Miss, please go back. The shopkeeper is very busy."
How could Qiao Yun be willing to go back? This was something the young lady had asked her to do, and she had to do it.
"Shopkeeper, please help me take a look. An elder in my family has been taking medicine for years, but his condition hasn't improved. My father wants to know the prescription..."
"Find someone else. I can't do anything."
"Shopkeeper, please help me, it will repay my filial piety."
As she spoke, Qiao Yun wiped away her tears, feeling very sad.
Seeing this, the apprentice became a little anxious, thinking that the girl must have encountered some difficulties.
"You...are not doing this for the master?"
Qiao Yun was a little panicked, afraid that her identity would be recognized.
"No, not really. Just family."
"Bring it here."
Shopkeeper Tong glanced at Qiao Yun and found that she indeed lacked the domineering attitude of a maid from a wealthy family.
"Thank you, thank you, shopkeeper."
Qiao Yun burst into laughter.
