Chapter 26: The Marquis said: I am still okay!
Yun Qiao was originally very moved and serious, but when she heard Xiao Tao's words, she immediately became happy.
"Of course I love you, your girl."
"Go, go, go. I'm starving. I served the Marquis but didn't even give him any food. I won't come next time..."
After Yun Qiao left, Chen Jingyan also lost his sleepiness. Last night was the first time he touched a woman. He only remembered that he was like a hungry wolf, tasting the marrow and wanting more.
Things were not going well at the beginning.
Listen to her words of contempt for him in her heart.
[Is this the end? There's no such thing as the legendary ecstasy...]
I felt sorry for her because it was her first time and didn't want to make things difficult for her, but I heard what she said.
Chen Jingyan said, I'm okay.
Turn over and continue working.

Yun Qiao returned to Xiaoxiang Garden in the dark and drank three large glasses of water before lying down. She had cleaned her body and felt refreshed. Xiao Tao brought some cakes and dried fruits left in the room and ate a few bites. She felt more energetic.
"Miss, it's time for breakfast. I'll go serve breakfast first. You can take a nap."
Yun Qiao really had no strength left and just wanted to sleep.
He responded to Xiaotao's words perfunctorily and then closed his eyes.
Xiao Tao went out and went straight to the kitchen, where she happened to bump into Meixiang, the maid from Zhang Yuqing's room.
"Xiao Tao, why did you go to get breakfast so early today?"
Meixiang took a quick step and walked up to Xiaotao.
Xiao Tao said innocently, "My girl is hungry."
What I mean is, I get food whenever my daughter is hungry. Is that weird?
Meixiang smiled awkwardly and came closer. "I heard that the Marquis came to Xiaoxiang Garden last night?"
Xiaotao continued walking forward without saying a word.
Meixiang watched from behind and couldn't ask any questions. She stamped her feet in anger and went into the kitchen to serve breakfast.
Yun Qiao prefers meat. She loves meat and will feel weak without it. In order to wait for the steamed pork with rice flour in the morning, Xiao Tao waited a little longer. Apart from her own daughter, she was close to the people in the kitchen.
"Mother Wang, let me help you choose this vegetable..."
"Mother Li, leave the floor here. I'll help you sweep it later."
"Mother Sun, give me the trash and I'll take it out for you..."
Everyone in the kitchen likes Xiaotao very much, mostly because they like her honesty and diligence.
I also give Yunqiao more food.
Look at Xiaotao busying around in the big kitchen trying to please people, Meixiang is walking out with the food.
But the food he brought was small, while Xiaotao's food box was filled with a bowl of steamed pork with rice flour.
"Mother Wang, aren't the portions of this dish the same?"
"Give me whatever you are given. If you don't want to eat, you can cook for yourself." Mother Wang said coldly as she looked at me.
Meixiang didn't dare to offend the people in the kitchen, so she took the food box and left.
Xiaotao finished the work at hand, swept the floor, took the garbage outside and dumped it in a big bucket. When she came back, she saw that her lunch box was full, and there were even crab roe buns.
These crab roe buns are for the old lady and the first wife of the Marquis' Mansion.
It would never be the turn of the concubines in the backyard.
"Mom Wang, what is this..." Xiaotao asked in confusion.
She would naturally ask more questions when the kitchen gave her good food, so that she wouldn't take it away without asking clearly, and then her master would have nothing to eat, and the responsibility would fall on her as a servant.
Her daughter also said that you should never do anything without asking.
Mother Wang changed her cold expression and looked at Xiaotao with a smile.
"These are crab roe buns. The Marquis just sent a message asking for some snacks for Miss Qiao. I happened to have three extra crab roe buns, so I'll give them to Miss Qiao."
"Xiao Tao, this mushroom and meat bun is for you. You always help me with things when I come here, and I appreciate it."
Xiao Tao smiled, picked up the lunch box, said thank you to Mother Wang, and went straight back to Xiaoxiang Garden.
Yun Qiao was called out.
"Miss, please have breakfast before going to bed. We have some crab roe buns and meat porridge. Mother Wang gave us a lot, which is enough for you."
Yun Qiao stood up and stretched her waist.
“There are crab roe buns?”
Xiao Tao said honestly, "Mother Wang said that the Marquis sent someone to the kitchen to tell them to give you food."
Yun Qiao paused as she was about to pick up the bun to eat.
So, this is the crab roe bun that I exchanged my body for.
Then she has to eat.
There were three crab roe buns, she ate two and gave one to Xiaotao.
I have to say that the crab roe buns in the Marquis' Mansion taste really good. The mother Wang that Xiaotao mentioned is in charge of the noodles in the big kitchen, and the noodles she makes are also very delicious.
The crab roe buns are filled with crab roe, which tastes fragrant but not greasy. Paired with meat porridge and light pickles, Yunqiao is very satisfied with the meal.
Xiaotao was also satisfied.
After cleaning the house, the girl's clothes needed to be washed, the shoes needed to be brushed, the floor needed to be mopped, and the yard outside needed to be swept. After finishing everything, if she still had time, she would go to the big kitchen to help, and occasionally get some fruits, cakes, etc.
Yun Qiao slept for the whole morning. She was sitting on the couch, embroidering with a handkerchief when she heard footsteps outside the door.
"I was thinking about Sister Qiao sleeping, and this time she was embroidering..."
"Sister Zhang saw this and asked even though she knew the answer."
Xiaotao had already told Zhang Yuqing about Meixiang's encounter with her early in the morning, and that Zhang Yuqing was staring at her.
The question she asked just now was obviously not an ordinary question...
Zhang Yuqing's face froze, "Sister Qiao is really sharp-tongued."
"Sister Zhang is no less impressive."
"I wonder what brings Sister Zhang here right now?" Yun Qiao asked, glancing at Fang Jia. "Sister Fang Jia, is there something wrong with me that makes you look at me like that?"
Fang Jia was also a straightforward person, so she walked straight up to Yun Qiao.
"I heard that the Marquis came to your place last night?"
"Are you unhappy because of this?" Yun Qiao looked at Zhang Yuqing and Fang Jia and said calmly, "I don't need to explain my life story to you all. Do you think I have the ability to refuse the Marquis?"
"I fell into the water during my first period and caught a cold. I've seen many doctors, but they all said I'd never be able to have children. I was just hurt by the Marquis a few times, but am I a threat to you?"
Speaking of this, Yun Qiao's eyes became terribly indifferent.
Fang Jia looked at her and felt uncomfortable. She hurried forward and said, "Sister Qiao, that's not what I meant. I've never been jealous of you because of this. I'm sorry, I was angry with you just now."
Fang Jia said this and turned to look at Zhang Yuqing.
"If you hear this news in the future, don't look for me."
"You and I are both the Marquis's concubines. With our status, what is there to fight about? If you like the Marquis and want to accept his favor, you can find a way to do it yourself, but don't drag me in."
Yun Qiao also echoed, "Don't treat me as an imaginary rival. I never competed with Sister Zhang for the Marquis's favor."
