Isn't there a poem that goes "We are of the same roots, why are we so anxious to hurt each other?" Seriously speaking, compared to Miss Ten, they just rolled from the ground to the bamboo mat - one strip higher. That's why Miss Eleven tolerated Miss Ten so much. Who knew that Amber was the troublemaker, disturbing everyone's peace.

Bin Ju went to Eleventh Lady with resentment, and happened to see Amber talking to Eleventh Lady about making clothes: "...I'll help you and Fifth Lady first, and Tenth Lady hasn't started yet. I just don't know if Twelfth Lady will follow you to make clothes, or follow Tenth Lady to make clothes?"

Shiyi Niang's eyes were bright and she just smiled. Bin Ju's face turned pale, and the good impression she had for Amber at the banquet in the warm room that night immediately disappeared.

Dongqing saw that something was not right, so he asked Binju to do something for him: "I want to help the young lady divide the thread and make purses. You go to Madam Xu's place. The young lady is busy embroidering the screen overnight, and she needs a lot of silver frost charcoal. Ask her to pull some more for us."

Bin Ju had no choice but to nod and go.

Eleventh Lady picked up the needle and thread, indicating that she was going to start embroidering.

Amber pretended not to see it, picked up the tongs and pulled the charcoal out of the brazier, and said with a smile: "I also heard that the tenth lady has been copying Buddhist scriptures for the first wife these days. She said that she wanted to finish it before the New Year so that the first wife can take it to Ci'an Temple on the ninth day of the lunar month, the birthday of Guanyin Bodhisattva, to offer to Guanyin Bodhisattva!"

Eleventh Lady was slightly startled when she heard this: "Then what about the eldest aunt..."

"I heard from Sister Shanhu that it was because the eldest aunt asked Miss Ten to copy Buddhist scriptures that Miss Ten remembered that the eldest wife was also a Buddhist." Amber smiled, "Miss Ten also said that when she was young, the eldest wife doted on her and she didn't know it. Now that she has grown up and studied with the teacher, she knows how good the eldest wife is. After hearing this, the eldest wife said, 'People learn to be good from books.' Now Miss Ten also knows what is good and what is bad!"

Eleventh Lady's eyes flashed with surprise: "She said this in front of the first wife?"

Amber added two pieces of charcoal to the brazier and said with a smile, "Of course I said this in front of the first wife. At that time, Sister Coral was serving beside us!"

Unexpectedly, Shi Niang actually began to bow her head to flatter the first wife. However, is it too late to cram at the last minute?

Eleventh Lady was thinking, and Amber said, "Speaking of which, the Madam's place has been really lively these days. Fifth Miss has been with the Madam from morning till night, and Tenth Miss has been going to join in the fun from time to time. Even Twelfth Miss has been visiting more often than usual. After visiting her elder sisters in the morning and evening, she often chats with the two sisters, making the Madam laugh so hard that she can't stop."

Eleventh Lady was stunned, then smiled bitterly.

It's still a delicious bun...

Amber carefully observed Eleventh Lady's expression, but she kept talking: "It's getting late, I'll go see if Qiuju's meal has been brought back. The young lady has worked so hard, she must get something delicious. I'll go to Liu's sister-in-law's place in the afternoon to see when they will make the clothes for the tenth young lady... so we can be prepared!"

Eleventh Lady laughed: "Yes, we should be prepared."

Amber's eyes lit up when she heard this, as bright as the stars in the summer night: "Miss, I will go and prepare it!"

Eleventh Lady nodded.

Amber walked out lightly, and Zhu Xiang came.

She knelt down and said, "Miss, Fifth Aunt is here!"

Eleventh Lady was very surprised.

Thinking back to the beginning, not long after she woke up, she was suddenly awakened by a burst of crying one night. When she opened her eyes, she saw a stunning woman in a long white dress sitting in front of her bed, wiping her tears. She was stunned at the time. She thought she had encountered something incredible again and was too scared to move. After hearing the conversation between Dong Qing and her, she realized that the woman was actually her biological mother, Lu.

Seeing that she only dared to express her concern for her daughter secretly, Eleventh Lady immediately felt pity for this poor woman.

Later, she saw Fifth Aunt cut her gold jewelry into small pieces and gave them to Dongqing, asking Dongqing to buy her precious medicinal materials such as ginseng and bird's nest to nourish her body. She was even more moved.

Therefore, after she understood her situation and the character of the First Wife, she kept a certain distance from the Fifth Aunt.

She didn't want to anger the first wife and implicate this weak and floating woman. As for the Fifth Aunt, since she felt the estrangement of the Eleventh Lady from her, although she looked gloomy, she still cooperated with her decision without complaint - she would never visit the Eleventh Lady unless there was something important.

She came here, so there must be something going on?

"Please ask Auntie to come in!" Although Eleventh Lady was very anxious, she did not show it on her face and instructed Zhu Xiang with a smile.

Zhu Xiang hurriedly invited the fifth aunt in.

Dong Qing came forward to greet her. She nodded absentmindedly and asked Shiyi Niang, "How long will it take you to finish embroidering this screen?"

Seeing her worried look, Eleventh Lady was startled and asked, "Aunt, what kind of embroidery do you want me to help you with?"

"No, no!" Wu Niang denied it quickly, and then looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Eleventh Lady winked at Dong Qing.

Dong Qing smiled and led Zhu Xiang back out: "I'll go make a cup of tea for Auntie."

The Fifth Aunt nodded randomly, and when she saw the two people retreat, she said before the Eleventh Lady could speak, "You are just too honest, and you always suffer losses."

Eleventh Lady was a little confused after listening to this.

"You spend every day embroidering this screen at home, while the Fifth Miss and the Tenth Miss are staying with the First Mistress... You should be more careful!"

When it comes to intelligence, I'm afraid there are few in this mansion who are more dull than the Fifth Aunt!

Eleventh Lady couldn't help laughing.

Unexpectedly, even the usually indifferent Fifth Aunt knew that Fifth Aunt and Tenth Aunt were very popular with the First Madam during this period, and she became anxious for herself...

Fifth Aunt looked at her and smiled, then scolded her, "Don't always ignore my words. I'm doing this for your own good." As she spoke, her eyes turned red, "To be honest, it's all my fault. You're such a smart person, but you happened to be in my belly..."

This is not something you can choose!

Eleventh Lady quickly took out her handkerchief to wipe Fifth Aunt's tears, and comforted her: "Look at what Aunt said. If I hadn't been in your belly, I wouldn't have had such a good life today. Don't cry. I know what you said. After all, embroidering the screen is also a way of showing filial piety. The eldest wife is an understanding person, and she will definitely understand my painstaking efforts."

After hearing this, Fifth Auntie felt much better. She said, "That's right. The First Madam's mind is as clear as a mirror. She knows clearly what is good and what is bad, what is wrong and what is right."

The biological mother always spoke highly of the stepmother, and Shiyi Niang had long been accustomed to it. She comforted the fifth aunt a few more words and drank the hot tea on the holly. The fifth aunt felt much better and stood up to say goodbye.

Eleventh Lady personally escorted Fifth Aunt out of Lujun Tower. When she looked up, she saw Binju and Qiuju standing in an octagonal pavilion with twelve steps outside the Lujun Tower, talking about something - Qiuju's expression was a little disdainful, while Binju's expression was very serious.

Didn't Amber say she was going to urge Qiuju to bring food? Why was Qiuju talking to Binju here?

She couldn't help but look up at the sky.

Large dark clouds floated in the sky like broken cotton, making the light somewhat dim and it was impossible to tell what time it was!

The two of them also saw Eleventh Lady and came over to pay their respects to Fifth Lady.

The Fifth Aunt chatted with the two for a few words and then went back with the help of the little maid. Qiu Ju also left Bin Ju: "I'll go get the lunch box!"

Bin Ju winked at Shiyi Niang and said to Qiu Ju: "Go quickly!"

Qiuju went away immediately, and Binju helped Shiyi Niang to go to Lujun Tower.

"Didn't Amber tell Qiuju to fetch the food?"

"I have given you the order." Binju said, "but we just chatted for a while when we met."

After hearing her frank answer, Eleventh Lady could not help but nod slightly.

Binju is cheerful, considerate, generous and upright. The longer you spend with her, the more you like her.

"Miss, I have something to tell you."

Her eyes sparkled with joy, which delighted Eleventh Lady. She couldn't help but whisper, "Is it Auntie..."

Binju nodded.

The two of them left the Lujun Tower again and stood in the pavilion where Binju and Qiuju had just talked - the view here was wide, and anyone coming could be seen at a glance, and no eavesdropping was allowed.

"Qiu Ju went back and asked her mother." Bin Ju said seriously, "Her mother said that the eldest aunt was a family child, but her parents died early, and she lived with an uncle. Later, the uncle married the aunt and couldn't tolerate her, so she tried every means to enter the mansion as a servant. Because she was beautiful and gentle, the deceased old lady put her in the eldest master's room. Everyone in the family liked her very much. The second aunt fled to us when the flood happened that year. She sold herself as a slave and entered the mansion. She first swept the floor in the outer courtyard, and somehow she hooked up with the nephew of the former chief steward Niu Anli, who worked in the accounting office. With the help of the chief steward Niu, she was transferred from the outer courtyard to the inner courtyard's flower room, where she was responsible for the flowers in the greenhouse. A few days later, she took the opportunity to send flowers to the old lady and won her favor, so she was transferred to the eldest master's room. The two stayed in the eldest master's room for five or six years, from the third-class maid to the first-class maid. After the eldest lady came into the house, she took the initiative to take the two into her room. "

Niu Anli was Xu Xiaoquan's predecessor. After Xu Xiaoquan became the general manager, he asked to be released from his official position and moved his family to Yangzhou. However, although Niu Anli had been away from the Luo family for more than ten years, the women and servants of the Luo family occasionally mentioned him in a friendly tone. It can be seen that he has a good relationship with the people in the Luo family.

Eleventh Lady frowned slightly as she listened.

It seems that the eldest aunt is a bit honest, and the second aunt is a bit scheming. No matter which one it is, there is no shortage of such people in the Luo Mansion.

It's quite normal!

"Miss, there is one more thing!" Binju lowered her voice, "Qiuju said that her mother was very contemptuous when she talked about the second aunt."

Eleventh Lady was perked up after hearing this: "Do you know why you despise me?"

"They say that the Second Aunt is a vixen who killed the nephew of Chief Steward Niu!"

Shiyi Niang looked at Binju in surprise.

"The nephew of Chief Steward Niu had been waiting for the Second Aunt to be released, but in the end, the Second Aunt was taken in by the First Master. In a rage, the nephew of Chief Steward Niu jumped into the well! Qiu Ju's mother also said that Chief Steward Niu's departure was also related to this incident!"
