After the initial joy passed, Qiao Lianfang, who was about to write a letter, sat at the desk with a look of doubt and didn't put pen to paper for a long time.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Xiu Li was very confused, "Do you doubt what Aunt Qin said?"

Qiao Lianfang shook her head: "She didn't lie. I also heard something about what happened back then. The Taoist priest Changchun became more famous because of this. Many people believed him. However, if we want to ask Taoist priest Changchun to come forward, I'm afraid my uncle's mother will have to come forward herself..."

But whether Mrs. Qiao is willing to stand up for them is still a big question!

Xiu Yuan understood what Qiao Lianfang meant. She hesitated and said, "You gave her so many gifts last time... This matter concerns your life and property. Madam can't just ignore it, right?"

Qiao Lianfang was not so sure.

She smiled bitterly: "I hope so!"

The low laughter of Mother Tian and Mother Wan could be heard outside.

After hearing this, Xiu Li immediately closed the lattice door of the inner room vigilantly.

Mothers Tian and Wan couldn't help but smile at each other.

At this time, Amber was quietly leading her maid out of Eleventh Lady's inner room.

Eleventh Lady smiled at Bin Ju, who looked a little haggard, and said softly, "Why don't you stay a few more days?"

Bin Ju shook her head: "I have completed the task you assigned to me. I am not at ease living there. It is better for me to come back."

"That's fine." Eleventh Lady smiled, "I'm really not used to you not being around."

After hearing this, Bin Ju seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong?" Eleventh Lady asked with a smile, "Is there anything we can't talk about?"

Looking at Shiyi Niang, whose smile was as gentle as before, Bin Ju was a little confused.

She felt that the girl who needed her protection had grown up without her noticing. She no longer needed her protection. Not only that, she seemed to have become a burden to her... She thought about it over and over again when she was in Goldfish Lane. If she was as smart as Amber, she might have guessed what Mother Tao was up to when she came in, and she would have stopped Dong Qing in the house, or she would not have been used as a gun to confront Shiyi Niang, and the situation might have been different.

Binju regretted it so much that she didn't sleep for several days.

She was in a hurry to come back, which was also related to this...

But when Binju thought of his decision, he felt tears in his eyes.

"Madam, please find me someone else!" Her vision suddenly became blurry. "I heard about Aunt Qiao as soon as I came back. Everyone says that Yanrong is the second Amber, smart and capable, and has a plan for doing things..." When she said this, her face was already wet, and she lowered her head quickly: "If I go out, there will be a vacancy for the first-class maid..."

Ever since Dongqing's accident, Binju no longer had that bright smile on her face, and she became a little timid.

Eleventh Lady was secretly worried about this change, but she couldn't find a chance to have a good talk with her.

After hearing what she said, Shiyi Niang took the opportunity to slap the table with her palm, pretending to be furious: "What nonsense are you talking about? Is this what you said?"

Bin Ju's heart sank when he heard this.

"Madam, I am speaking from the heart!" She burst into tears, "I can't bear to leave you. But I also know that I can't help you in any way now..."

When Eleventh Lady heard this, she showed some disappointment: "Binju, I didn't expect that I was such a person in your heart!"

Binju was stunned and looked at her with tears on her face.

"I am now the wife of the Marquis of Yongping. As long as I want, let alone find a few smart maids like Yanrong to serve me in the mansion, even if I am not satisfied with one, it is not impossible to send General Manager Bai to Guangdong in the south and Gansu in the west to find a few satisfactory maids for me all over the Great Zhou." Eleventh Lady's voice sank, "But when I was just the Eleventh Lady of the Luo family, when I was sick and couldn't move, I still remember that it was you who kept me alive with a mouthful of porridge and a spoonful of water..." As she spoke, some old memories of the past came to her mind, and her eyes were filled with tears, "If you leave too, will you leave me here alone?"

"Madam!" Bin Ju fell on Shiyi Niang's knees and started crying. All the sadness, sorrow and worry she had felt in the past few days fell with her tears. "I was talking nonsense... It's all my fault. I will stay with you. Wherever you are, I will be there..."

Shiyi Niang also started crying and sobbed while holding Bin Ju's hand: "Then you can't say such things anymore..."

"Yeah!" Binju nodded continuously.

Xu Lingyi came back and saw Amber and the others standing under the eaves. He asked curiously, "What happened?"

"Madam and Sister Binju are talking in the room." Amber stepped forward and bowed, "I'll go and tell you right away!"

"No need." Xu Lingyi thought for a moment and said, "I'll come back later!" He turned and went to the study in the front yard.

Amber heard Eleventh Lady calling her.

She hurried into the inner room.

I saw that both of their eyes and noses were red.

"Go get us some water to wash our faces." Eleventh Lady wiped her face with a handkerchief. "The Marquis should be back soon!"

"The Marquis just left. He heard that you were talking to Sister Binju, so he avoided you." After Amber said this, she told the maid to fetch water.

Bin Ju jumped up anxiously: "What should I do? I'll go and apologize to the Marquis!"

"He avoided me on purpose." Shiyi Niang said naturally, "There's no need to reject his kindness."

Bin Ju thought about it, and although she felt that what Shiyi Niang said made sense, she still felt a little uneasy. Fortunately, the maid came in with water to help them wash their faces and hands, so she couldn't say these words for a while.

Everyone sat down again and the maid served tea. Shiyi Niang looked at Binju, whose face was smiling again, and her heart moved. She sent away the servants and left Binju alone to talk.

"You said, let me match you with someone else..." She looked at Bin Ju with a smile.

Bin Ju's face flushed: "I was confused at that time..."

"No, no, no." Eleventh Lady smiled and said, "Have you met Wan Daxian? What do you think of him?"

Bin Ju's face turned red enough to look like blood dripping out: "When have I ever met Wan Daxian? Madam, it's very strange to ask this!" But she also regained some of her cheerfulness.

Eleventh Lady said: "The Wan family asked me to find another wife for Wan Daxian..."

"Oh!" Binju stood up and left. "Why are you telling me this, Madam?"

Shiyi Niang hurriedly pulled her aside and said sternly, "Binju, what I said is true. I watched Wan Daxian again and again..."

Bin Ju lowered her head and interrupted Shiyi Niang: "It's enough for me to follow Madam..." Her voice became so soft as a mosquito that it gradually became inaudible.

* * * * * *

Wan Yizong was stunned at first when he heard the news, but then he smiled happily: "Madam has been very kind to our family - I didn't expect that this time she would point to her maid to show us off."

Wan Yi Zong's family was also very satisfied: "Dong Qing is so beautiful, I was nervous at the time."

The two of them discussed plastering the house and hiring a cook.

Wan Daxian, who was standing by, tiptoed out of the house.

Wan Erxian saw it, rolled his eyes, and quietly followed him out.

Wan Daxian took off the Lu silk cotton jacket he wore when he was working in Xu's house and placed it on the stone mill nearby. He then put on a single layer of clothes and chopped firewood.

"Brother!" Wan Erxian piled the firewood that Wan Daxian had chopped aside, "You are still thinking about Miss Dongqing..."

Wan Daxian paused for a moment, and said nothing, but he chopped the wood a little more vigorously.

Wan Erxian sighed in his heart as he watched, "Mother is right, Miss Dongqing is so beautiful. The Marquis is a serious person, but I can't guarantee that others will be the same as him... There is a saying that goes, 'It is not a blessing to be too big.' Maybe this is your blessing!"

Wan Daxian glared at his brother and said, "What do you mean by 'I am not blessed because I am too big'? It's 'I am not blessed because I am too big'. If you can't speak, don't speak nonsense. Others won't think you are dumb."

Although his tone was bad, his brother finally spoke, and Wan Erxian breathed a sigh of relief - he had been silent ever since Wan Daxian knew that Dong Qing had a serious illness and wanted to cancel the engagement.

"Yes, yes, yes." Wan Erxian pretended to be envious, "After my elder brother went to work for the Xu family, his knowledge has improved compared to before."

Looking at his younger brother who was making him happy, Wan Daxian raised his head and took a long breath.

"Your brother is not stupid. He knows some things!" He patted his brother's shoulder, "I will do my best. I won't let Bin... Binju..." He was still a little uncomfortable when he mentioned the strange name, "I won't let Miss Binju suffer with me."

Wan Erxian just felt that his brother's tone when he said this was a little strange.

But when he saw that his brother had signs of recovery, he immediately put all that behind him, smiled and put his arm around his brother's shoulders: "Brother, you can't forget about your brothers just because you get married. There's still me. When you become successful, you have to help me along. At the very least, wait until my sister-in-law gets married, and ask her to talk to the Madam and arrange a marriage for me as well."

"Go to hell!" Wan Daxian hit Wan Erxian lightly.

The two brothers couldn't help but smile at each other.

* * * * * *

Wan Yizong made great efforts to find a new marriage for his son. Not only did he invite Liu Yuanrui's family to speak in favor, he also specially asked Manager Bai to go to Xu Lingyi to help sound out the situation.

Xu Lingyi smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Wan Yizong is also a smart man." He then asked Shiyi Niang, "Who will marry him?"

"Bin Ju!" Eleventh Lady was picking out jewelry to add to her jewelry box.

Wei Zi from the old lady's side came over and said, "Madam, the old lady heard that Bin Ju had found someone, so she asked me to bring him over to her to see."

Eleventh Lady was stunned.

The Madam never interfered with the affairs of the daughter-in-law's room. Even when the Fifth Master took in a concubine, she didn't call anyone to check, let alone the maidservants and servants around the daughter-in-law.

This is a rare honor!

She hurriedly asked the maid to call Bin Ju over, whispered a few instructions to her, and then let her follow Wei Zi to the lady's place.

After about an incense stick of time, Binju came back.

Her face flushed: "Madam Tai gave me a pair of gold bracelets and forty taels of silver as money for the box."

Eleventh Lady was happy for her.

Amber hurried in and whispered, "Madam, Aunt Qiao asked a servant from the outer courtyard to deliver a letter?" Then she took out the letter from her bosom.

Eleventh Lady didn't even glance at it: "You should personally deliver this letter to Aunt Qiao in front of the two mothers. Then hand the boy over to Chief Steward Bai for disposal."

Amber responded and left.

A few days later, news spread that Aunt Qiao was ill.
