"Yes, she just went home, and I asked her to take the box of cakes back with her. I don't know how happy she was, so that my nephews could also try something new. Speaking of which, I have to thank you, my sister-in-law. Such good cakes must have been expensive, but you gave them to me just like that." Liu smiled when she talked about her nephew from her natal family. She was much happier than when she talked about Han Baofu from her second son's family. It can be seen that she has a good relationship with her natal family, otherwise Liu would not have let her eldest sister-in-law from her natal family take the box of cakes away.

"It's just a box of pastries, not worth much. As long as your sister-in-law likes it." Speaking of pastries, Su Wenyue would rather eat the ones she made herself. However, it was inconvenient to make anything now that the Han family had not split up. That's why she bought a few boxes in the county town. The taste was really just average.

Su Wenyue's past life skills were such that she could only enjoy the cakes made by herself or by Zhiweizhai, the largest cake shop in Chang'an City. In fact, most of the really good cake chefs were in those mansions. Su Wenyue was just a concubine at that time, and she rarely had the opportunity to visit other mansions, let alone those real mansions. They all looked down on a concubine like her. If she brought her to the mansion, it would be disrespectful to the host.

However, in order to please her, that person, knowing that she liked this, would sometimes bring back some cakes. After she tasted and studied them, she was able to make most of them, and sometimes the taste was even better. That person ate happily, and she sometimes wondered if that person brought back the cakes just to satisfy his own appetite.

It didn't matter what the reason was. In her previous life, she learned so many things and devoted herself to pleasing that man. In addition to surviving better, it was also a way to dispel the loneliness in the mansion. It could even be said to be a form of entertainment. Otherwise, she was afraid that she would go crazy because of regret and loneliness.

"Fourth daughter-in-law, fourth daughter-in-law, what are you thinking about? You are so absorbed in it." Liu said for a long time before she realized that Su Wenyue was distracted.

"Oh, nothing, I just thought of something. Is there something you want to talk to me about, sister-in-law?" Su Wenyue was a little annoyed to see that Liu never got to the point and kept flattering her. It would be better to be straightforward and let Liu finish her story as soon as possible so that she could concentrate on embroidering. Besides, she was in a low mood at the moment and was not in the mood to listen to Liu's nagging.

"Well, well, fourth sister-in-law, I do have something I would like to ask you for help with, but I don't know how to start the conversation." When Liu heard Su Wenyue say this, a rare look of embarrassment appeared on her face, but her eldest sister-in-law had asked her for help again and again, and she really couldn't refuse.

"We are sisters-in-law, there is nothing that cannot be said. Sister-in-law, just speak frankly. I will try my best to help if I can, and I hope you can understand if I can't help." Su Wenyue saw that Liu looked embarrassed and was not sure what the matter was, so she said it in advance.

"It's like this. My eldest sister-in-law has a niece. I've seen that girl. She's pretty and good-looking. Although she's not as eloquent as my eldest sister-in-law, she's an honest and hardworking child. She's very efficient at work. It's a pity that she has a cruel stepmother who beats and scolds her. My eldest sister-in-law's eldest brother is often working outside and can't always take care of her. When my eldest sister-in-law found her, the child was beaten all over.

I feel pity for her every time I hear her. That child is not even as old as our eldest daughter. If she continues like this, she will be beaten to death by her cruel stepmother. You may also know the situation of my maternal family. They are not well off and cannot help even if they want to. My maternal sister-in-law is also at her wits’ end, so she came to me for help.”

Liu was not such a kind person. Firstly, it was her sister-in-law from her natal family who came to her for help, and also, when she thought of her own child, her heart softened and she felt a little more pity for the child.

"So what does sister-in-law mean?" Su Wenyue asked calmly. Although she felt a little pity for the poor child, she did not show her emotion.

In her previous life, she abandoned her husband and son. She didn't know how her sensible and obedient son lived later. She remembered that Han Yu remarried. A rich lady from a prominent family would not treat the son of her husband's ex-wife well. A legitimate eldest son who could inherit the family property, if he was cruel, would find ways to eliminate him and clear obstacles for his son. The more Su Wenyue thought about it, the more distressed she felt.

Liu said this to arouse Su Wenyue's sympathy and to help the child. Seeing that Su Wenyue's expression was still as indifferent as before and she showed no intention of sympathizing with the child, she felt a little disappointed, but since she had already spoken, she had no choice but to continue talking.

"Fourth sister-in-law, I know this may be difficult for you, but I really have no other choice. My eldest sister-in-law from my mother's family has come to my house more than once. Can you help me ask if your mother's family still needs servants? That girl is very efficient at work. Although she is young, she does all the farm work at home, such as cooking, feeding pigs, and chopping wood. She can do everything! But the girl is young after all, and the Su family may not think highly of her. My eldest sister-in-law from my mother's family said that she doesn't ask for much wages from the Su family, as long as she can give the girl a full meal."

Liu was afraid that Su Wenyue would not agree, so she spoke anxiously and spoke well of the girl over and over again, and there was some sincerity in her words.

Su Wenyue thought it was a very simple matter when she heard it. The Su family had so many servants and they didn't care about the extra salary. But she couldn't agree to it casually and let Liu think it was easy, otherwise she would come to her for everything in the future. Moreover, this girl was from Liu's eldest sister-in-law's family, so things would be complicated when it involved relatives. If not handled properly, it would cause resentment among relatives.

Although Su Wenyue and Liu are getting along well at the moment, no one can predict what will happen in the future. Besides, Liu is not a person of good character. She is greedy for small gains and profits. If Li comes to her for help, she will agree directly. It is also okay to keep her in her own farm. It is always unreliable to keep people from Liu's side, and there are some things Su Wenyue does not want people from Liu's side to know, so she has to be more cautious. It is not okay to keep her in her own farm, but it is okay to put her in a less important place in the Su family to do odd jobs.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I didn't say I don't agree. It's just that hiring a servant is easy, but it's not that easy. You have to ask everything clearly. It's not enough to just work quickly. The most basic thing is that the character must be good and they can't betray their master! Although the Su family has some family property, they are very cautious about hiring servants, especially the last time. Sister-in-law, do you remember the girl from my uncle's family? She was kicked out because she betrayed her master."
