"Master, what should we do now?"
"We have to find the person before Zhang Ling. Also, any actions of the eunuch must be reported to me immediately." Fu Xiuqi's eyes were sinister.
After Duan Yu left, Gu Yufei rested in the room.
No matter how slow Chunhua was, she could sense that Gu Yufei was a little unhappy. Thinking that the young lady liked to eat red bean paste, she went to the kitchen to make it herself.
"Have you heard? Master Fu is coming back." The servant in the kitchen whispered while working.
Chunhua quickly stopped and eavesdropped in the corner.
They had only met Mr. Fu once, at the young lady's wedding ceremony, and had not seen him in the mansion since then.
"With Master Fu back this time, there will definitely be something exciting to watch in the mansion. I wonder if he brought Madam Liu back with him as well."
"If we bring Madam Liu back, Madam Fu will be so angry that she will jump up and down."
That's what they were talking about. Mrs. Liu? She and the young lady had never heard of it.
Chunhua wanted to continue listening when the door creaked open.
"Who are you?" The kitchen servant was relieved when he saw Chunhua was a maid. He knew that if he talked about his master privately in the mansion, he would be punished with a caning.
"I'm Chunhua, the young lady's maid. The lady said she wanted to eat red bean paste." At the critical moment, Chunhua couldn't think of any excuse to use, so she had to tell the truth.
"Since we are all here to work, just forget what you heard just now. The kitchen has made barbecued pork buns today. Come, have a few before you leave." The kitchen boy looked very young, with a smile on his face.
"You're welcome. I want to make red bean paste for my wife. Can I use the stove inside?"
"No, no, our chef used to work in the old Prince's Mansion. The food he cooks is first-class." The servant whispered.
"Oh, don't mention those bad things. It turns out that the monthly salary in the Prince's Mansion was twice what it is now." The chef sighed.
"Hehehe." Chunhua laughed dryly. She didn't know how to respond. She just wanted to make the red bean paste and leave.
Seeing Chunhua's unfamiliar face and harmless appearance, the chef spoke without hesitation: "Madam, you should eat more fish maw and other foods now, which will be beneficial to the child's growth. If you give birth to a big fat child, your position in the mansion will be secure in the future."
"Shh!" another chef said, and he signaled to the fat chef with his eyes to stop talking nonsense.
Everyone who had been in the mansion for a long time knew that Madam Liu was driven out of the mansion because she gave birth to a daughter. In the end, Master Fu married a new wife.
"What are you afraid of..." The fat chef was a little unhappy. The Fu family only gave him such a small monthly salary, and he had long wanted to find an excuse to leave.
"Stop talking, I still want to work hard." said another chef.
Chunhua didn't want to listen any further, so she made an excuse and left.
If she stayed here and other people heard her and thought she was involved, the young lady would be implicated.

Zhang Mansion
"Sir, two gatekeepers ran away from Widow Village." Little Li Zi reported to Zhang Ling as soon as he got the news.
"Run away? How did he run away? When did it happen? Why are you reporting it to me now?"
"I deserve to die!" Little Leo knelt down quickly.
The Widow Village was the largest intelligence network set up by the East Factory. They were trained by Zhang Ling and used specifically to seduce officials and to be sent to their side as pawns to obtain intelligence.
"You bastard! Find the person back now!" Zhang Ling was furious.
