"Sister Pearl, you are so capable. You arranged such a big thing in a very orderly manner."
Yu Mei looked at Pearl with admiration and sincere praise, wanting to establish a relationship with her.
Pearls are very useful.
"What's wrong with that! We servants do whatever our masters tell us to do. You see, I used to serve Lady Gu wholeheartedly every single day. When Lady Gu passed away, I wanted to kill myself and follow her, but I was worried that the young master would be left without anyone to take care of him. Now that Lady Gu has come again, the young master doesn't need me, so she assigned me to Lady Qiao's side. I've been doing my best to serve Lady Qiao and Lord Wu, always making sure they are happy, without complaining about the hardship."
Should we prioritize Madam Gu? Or should we consider Madam Gu later?
Yu Mei's face showed a surprised expression.
Qiao Jingjing was also surprised.
It was just getting dark.
Yu Mei and Zhen Zhu sat at the door, waiting for Sun Ce to come and celebrate his wedding night with Qiao Jing Jing.
Qiao Jingjing had been arranged on the bright red bed according to the rules, and was waiting shyly.
My heart was already pounding with anticipation.
One prioritizes Madam Gu, the other prioritizes Madam Gu.
Suddenly, a corner of this deep, seemingly endless courtyard was revealed.
"What Lady Gu! Sister Pearl, are you saying this Lady Gu is the later one, and that the previous Lady Gu of Marquis Wu is dead?"
"Look at you! What are you so surprised about!"
Pearl sat there, looking at her newly painted nails with rouge.
"As the saying goes, if the King of Hell wants someone to die, who can keep them from dying? Madam Gu was a good person. Everyone said she was gentle and kind, and treated the servants well. She was deeply trusted by the Grand Madam, but her life was short."
Qiao Jingjing just sat there listening to the story that Pearl deliberately played out.
She started getting ready in the afternoon.
It was this long wait and the gossip that dispelled Qiao Jingjing's nervousness in front of Sun Ce.
The mansion was indeed much as she had imagined.
Sun Ce looked incredibly successful!
He has made many enemies outside over the years, and he doesn't know who it is that has sneaked into this inner courtyard to cause trouble.
"Hehe! You two girls are still waiting here?"
Where is my sister-in-law?
"Let me tell you, when I came, I went to check ahead and saw that my elder brother and the generals were discussing matters. It probably won't be anytime soon."
Sun Shangxiang skipped in a few steps.
He walked past Yu Mei and Zhen Zhu, went straight to the bedside, and plopped down next to Qiao Jingjing.
That mischievous, doll-like appearance contrasted sharply with Qiao Jingjing's formal demeanor at that moment.
"Sister-in-law, are you just going to sit here and wait? Aren't you bored?"
Not boring.
I just heard a chilling story, told in a very rushed manner.
