Nanfeng became very useful in a short period of time. Perhaps because of the relationship they had in their previous life, Li Yuxin trusted Nanfeng very much.
Lushui was also young, with an ordinary appearance and a little chubby, but he worked very efficiently. When he heard Liu Mama say that he could serve Li Yuxin in the future, he happily spun around.
Li Yuxin was busy taking care of business matters, even busier than before. Three days later, Li Yuxin was listening to Liu Gui's report on the store when Liu's mother came in to announce that the third girl had arrived.
Li Yuxin asked Liu Gui to continue until he finished what he was saying. Then she said, "Mother Liu, ask Sister Piao to wait in the side room."
After Mother Liu left, Li Yuxin discussed the matters of the shop with Liu Gui. Almost an hour later, Liu Gui left with Li Yuxin's instructions.
Li Yuxin took the honey water brought by Lvshui and drank it slowly. After finishing the honey water, she walked to the side room.
"Greetings, mother." Sheng Piao, whose real name is Sheng Molan, bowed respectfully to Li Yuxin.
Li Yuxin took her seat and waved for her to sit down. Sheng Molan followed suit and said, "Mother, this is the headband I embroidered. Please take a look."
Seeing Li Yuxin nod, Lushui stepped forward to take the headband and presented it to Li Yuxin. Li Yuxin looked at the embroidery on the headband. The stitches were dense and the colors were well matched, indicating that the embroidery was quite good.
Li Yuxin smiled slightly: "Sister Piao, you are good at making red needlework, but you are still young and can't do these kinds of work at night."
Sheng Molan quickly said, "Thank you for your concern, mother. It's my duty as a daughter to honor my mother. As for your father, I'd like to make a pair of shoes for him if I could find your shoe size."
Li Yuxin kept smiling, nodded and said nothing more.
Sheng Molan looked at Li Yuxin's expression and said with a smile, "Mother, do you agree with what your daughter said a few days ago?"
Li Yuxin waved her hand to let everyone go, looked at Sheng Molan and said: "Sister Piao, whether it's the past or a good dream, you are the second daughter of the Sheng family's eldest wife."
Sheng Molan clenched her hands and said in a trembling voice, "Mother, what if father knew?"
Li Yuxin recalled the last time she went to Qingshan Temple to burn incense. She knelt before the Buddha, thinking of Hong'er, who was still alive, and vowed to help others if she could. But now Sheng Molan's aggressive pressure made her put aside her thoughts. It was not her turn to be kind to others. Maybe they would have their own opportunities.
Li Yuxin came back to her senses and said, "Sister Piao, if you insist on looking for your father, then go find him. Don't come to the main courtyard again."
When Sheng Molan heard what Li Yuxin said, her face turned pale. She knelt down tremblingly and said, "My daughter is wrong. Please punish me, mother."
Li Yuxin shook her head: "I originally wanted to find a palace maid to raise you, but now it seems that you don't need my concern." "You can leave now."
Sheng Molan bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes showing a look of shock. She looked at Li Yuxin's calm face and knew that she had done something wrong again. But she couldn't give up. She could coax her father in her previous life, and she could do it in this life too.
Li Yuxin watched Sheng Molan leave, feeling a little hesitant. Should she keep her and become a nuisance? In the end, she decided to ignore her for now, and only take action if she posed a threat to her.
Li Yuxin told Nanfeng that in the future, when the second young lady came to the main courtyard, there was no need to inform her and she could leave directly.
Over dinner with her three children, Li Yuxin looked at the well-behaved Hong'er and decided she needed to learn about the dangers of the world. A woman would eventually marry into another family, and even her own family was subject to occasional schemes, let alone her in-laws, who were strangers to her. Then she glanced at Yun'er, her cheeks stuffed with meat, and decided to let her play for two more years.
As the time for the Autumn Examination got closer, Li Yuxin became more and more nervous. It was not because she was worried that Sheng Wei would fail the examination, but because there would be a turmoil in the palace shortly after the examination.
