Chapter 8 Serving Tea to Lin Zhixue
"My Lord, she needs to kneel down to serve me tea."
"Lin...Zhi...Xue...don't go too far!!!"
"Huh? Why is the Marquis so angry? Did I say something wrong?" Lin Zhixue asked innocently, completely ignoring Jiang Nanfeng's face that had turned the color of pig liver with anger.
Jiang Nanyuan covered her mouth and smiled behind Lin Zhixue. This mother was not bad and she liked her very much.
"As a princess, she's showing respect by serving you tea. You're going too far!!!"
Lin Zhixue glanced at her, took the tea from her hand and took a sip, "Alright, then I'll reluctantly drink a sip. I've already had the tea, Yuan'er, let's go and rest."
"Okay, mother."
Jiang Nanyuan responded and left with Lin Zhixue.
Seeing that they didn't cause any more trouble, Jiang Nanfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief and continued with the wedding ceremony.
Lin Zhixue was so familiar with everything in this mansion that even without a servant to lead the way, she could find the Luohuayuan courtyard where she used to live.
As the two of them reached the gate of the courtyard, before they could enter, two servants blocked their way and said, "Who are you? This is our lady's bridal chamber. Leave immediately."
Jiang Nanyuan laughed secretly in her heart. After hearing Mrs. Liu say that there was a Madam Liu and now there was a new Madam, she must have been furious.
"Madam? Which madam in the mansion?" Jiang Nanyuan said playfully.
"Of course it's the wife the Marquis just married." The servant answered without thinking, but he felt something was wrong as soon as he said it.
No, who are they? They are so poorly dressed and still wandering around the mansion. Could they be relatives of the maids or the housekeepers?
No, we can't let them walk around here. If the Madam or the Marquis see them and fail to keep a close eye on them, they will be beaten.
"Haha, it seems you don't recognize my mother. Move aside. My mother is the lady of the mansion. If you dare to stop me again, I don't mind breaking your hands."
When the servant heard Jiang Nanyuan's warning again, he was not afraid at all. Instead, he burst into laughter, clutching his stomach. "Hahaha, what nonsense are you talking about? Are you guys suffering from some kind of hysteria? You're actually imagining that you're our Marquis' wife?"
Go away, don't make trouble here, or I'll have you arrested and beaten with a stick."
"Mom, leave this idiot alone, let's go in."
Jiang Nanyuan gave the servant a speechless look, then pulled Lin Zhixue around the servant and went into the house.
"Hey hey hey, you guys..."
"What's going on? What's all the noise?"
Just as the servant was about to step forward to stop her, he heard a woman's voice behind him. Turning his head, the servant immediately called out respectfully, "Madam Liu... Oh, no, Aunt Liu, why are you here?"
Liu Shuang was the first concubine to follow the Marquis in the mansion. She had two sons and one daughter. The status of several concubines in the mansion was not as high as that of Concubine Liu. The other concubines only gave birth to daughters, but Concubine Liu gave birth to two sons. Because they loved the Marquis and the old lady, she was also very much loved by the Marquis and the old lady in the mansion.
Before the new lady came into the family, the servants in the mansion all called her "Madam".
But now that a new wife has come, she can only be called concubine.
When Liu Shuang heard the lady, her face was full of pride, but when she heard the servant change his words, her face instantly became much gloomier.
However, even if she was angry, it was useless. The situation was already set in stone and she could not change it. Her status in the Marquis' Mansion remained. From now on, the Marquis' Mansion would only have one legitimate son, her son, and he was no longer fertile.
From now on, everything in this mansion will fall into the hands of her son, and now all the household expenses are in her hands.
Thinking of this, her mood improved a little.
She had just seen them leave, so she followed them. Her eyes fell on Lin Zhixue and Jiang Nanyuan as they were about to enter the yard. She smiled awkwardly, "Haha, sister, why didn't you tell me you were coming back in advance? That way I could have sent someone to pick you up."
"That's not necessary. If I asked you to pick me up, I might have died on the way. I heard that you are in charge of the Marquis' Mansion now. That's perfect. Please arrange for a few maids to come over so I can wash up. Also, please vacate Jianjia Courtyard for my Yuan'er to live in.
Oh, and bring Nanny Zhou, Dongxia, Baizhi, and Xiaohong to me."
Nanny Zhou was her wet nurse, and the other three were maids who used to serve her personally.
When I left, these maids did not follow me. I don’t know how they are doing these years.
After hearing Lin Zhixue's words, Liu Shuang was almost scared to death, but she quickly calmed down and smiled awkwardly, "Haha, sister, you just came back, I'll go and make arrangements for you right away."
After Liu Shuang finished speaking, she left with her maid without waiting for Lin Zhixue to reply.
She had to go find the old lady first, and she didn't know if the old lady knew about this.
The servant who had just arrived to stop them watched all this with a look of surprise. Just now, Aunt Liu actually called the woman in front of her "sister"?
She was actually the wife of the Marquis? Wasn't the previous wife already dead? Why was she here again?
Thinking of what he had just done, his face turned pale with fear and his legs were trembling.
"Okay, you can leave now." Lin Zhixue didn't make things difficult for him and walked straight in with Jiang Nanyuan.
Red lanterns were hung in the yard and red double happiness patterns were pasted on the windows. When you walk into the house, you will see a red wedding quilt on the bed and some food and wedding wine on the table.
Everything is so familiar yet strange.
She had arranged it like this when she got married before.
When Lin Zhixue saw this, her eyes felt sore and uncomfortable.
"Someone, take all these out."
She didn't feel sad for long, and she didn't come back this time to be sad.
The maids outside looked at each other, not knowing whether to follow Lin Zhixue's order or not.
The servant who had been guarding outside did not leave. When he heard Lin Zhixue's words, he immediately winked at the maids in the yard and said, "The Madam has spoken. Go and do it quickly."
"Yes." Several maids outside answered in unison and immediately went to remove everything in the yard.
Inside the house, Lin Zhixue pulled Jiang Nanyuan down on a chair and said, "Yuan'er, I'm so worried. I made such a big fuss today, but why is there no movement at your grandparents' house? Could something have happened?"
