"Just look at those people just now and you'll know that Ah Man must have someone in charge who won't let them make trouble. Just go to sleep peacefully."
Isn't it? This mansion has a lot of rules. The maids are like the masters. I'm afraid Yunniang has brought all the rules of the Taifu Mansion here. How could the maid in charge allow them to act recklessly?
Thinking of this, Jian Ning felt relieved and fell into a deep sleep in a short while. When she woke up, it was already noon. She had originally planned to sleep in for a few hours at someone else's house, but she overslept.
She was about to call Ding Youtian to get up, but when she turned around, she found that there was no one beside her. He had gotten up long ago. She quickly dressed and got out of bed. As soon as her feet touched the ground, a maid came out and asked, "Madam, are you up?"
Jian Ning responded, and soon a little maid brought water for washing.
As a person who traveled from the modern era, Jane Ning was really not used to being served like this. She had undergone fully closed military training and management, and suddenly even the water for washing her face had to be brought to her. She really couldn't feel at ease.
"Just leave it here. You won't have to fetch water in the future. I can do these things myself. I won't make it difficult for you. I'll tell your uncle myself."
"Yes." The little maid responded, but did not move.
Jian Ning saw that she looked to be no more than ten years old. In modern times, she would still be in elementary school at this age. As long as she didn't have terrible parents like herself, she would still be a spoiled girl in front of her parents at this age.
"You are afraid that the mother will scold you if you go out yesterday, right?" she asked with a smile.
The little maid shook her head. Perhaps seeing Jian Ning's kind smile, she grew a little bolder and a smile appeared on her face. She said softly, "We are not under the jurisdiction of Liu Madam. She is the housekeeper in the concubine's room. Because my wife and her family are guests that the master and the young lady value, the concubine sent her here yesterday."
Oh, it turned out to be the housekeeper in Yunniang's room. Jian Ning was not interested in the affairs of this mansion and did not ask her anything else.
After washing up, the little maid immediately took the basin away, as if she was afraid that if she was slow, Jane Ning would rush to pour it out herself, and the old woman who was in charge of them would see it and scold her.
In fact, Jane Ning would not do that before telling Huo Jincheng. Mother Liu made it very clear yesterday that she did not want to be beaten or fined because of her tiredness.
She walked to the dressing table and had just sat down when two older maids came in through the curtains. Seeing her reaching for the wooden comb, they hurried forward. One of them took the comb from her hand and said crisply, "Madam, please let us come. Madam has ordered us to serve you well. If we neglect you and she blames us later, we will not be able to bear the consequences."
Jian Ning stood up, looked at the two of them and said, "I've never been used to having my hair combed by others since I was a child. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone unless you tell them. Just stay in this room and wait for me to finish combing my hair before you can leave."
Seeing that her tone left no room for maneuver, the two maids looked at each other and stopped talking. They stood quietly by with their hands hanging down, staring at their shoes and not looking at her. This made Jane Ning feel a little more at ease.
It looked like Huo Jincheng couldn't stay there any longer, Jian Ning thought silently as she combed her hair. She would wait for Ding Youtian to arrive and discuss with him whether to move to an inn or rent a house temporarily. Before coming, she had thought Huo Jincheng and Ah Man didn't live in the Taifu residence, and that their home was similar to Mei Niang's, so a few more servants wouldn't be a problem. She had never imagined it would be so strict and regimented.
This time Jian Ning went to the capital with Ding Youtian. One reason was to protect him, as she was worried that King Yong would order his gang of gangsters to cause trouble for him. The other reason was that the matter with the surname Geng had been hanging in the air without any result. Before, Huo Jincheng ordered Yuechan to wait and see, but she never saw the man described by Ma Fuquan. She would not be at peace until the truth of this matter was revealed, and she was afraid that it would explode at any time.
Since they sent assassins to the door several times, they must have confirmed that the original Xiu Gu was Duan Xinning. Jian Ning really couldn't understand what happened to the original person before she was seven years old that made someone want to kill her and Dabao?
Even if she traveled through time and space and took over her original body's life, even if the Prince of Pingnan recognized her, what would it matter? As a married daughter, could she inherit any property from the palace?
At most, it can be used to supplement the dowry. Huo Jincheng, a first-class guard, is so extravagant and has a lot of servants at home. The Palace of the Prince of Pingnan should not care about that little bit of dowry, right?
Jane Ning couldn't figure it out. She was completely baffled! What she didn't understand even more was why he wanted to kill her, but why did he keep targeting Dabao?
Therefore, this matter must be thoroughly investigated. If it really doesn't work, she thought of simply asking the two concubines of Prince Pingnan's Mansion to come out. Although Duan Xinning didn't see any problems with the two concubines in her memory, how could a child of a few years old understand the complexity of human nature?
Because apart from the two concubines, she couldn't think of anyone else who would want to harm Duan Xinning!
It would be bad enough if he harmed Duan Xinning, but he also wanted to harm Dabao. This was something she could not tolerate. Since she had taken over Duan Xinning's body, she had the obligation to find out who wanted to harm her and her son.
Rather than passively taking the beating and waiting for the other party to send killers to her again, it is better to take the initiative. She was thinking about this while combing her hair, and there was a "ding" sound in her mind, and Ma Fuquan sent a message.
[Have you arrived in the capital? Have you reached Huo Jincheng yet?]
[We arrived at night and entered the city at midnight.]
[That's good. I have something to tell you. A courier just delivered a letter from Zhuling County. I'm wondering if you would like me to open it for you. It's because they have something urgent to tell you and you might be delayed.]
