Mu Chenshuang stood still, her eyes narrowed as she watched the direction the man had left in.
For a moment, she was unsure whether she should believe him, but regardless of whether it was him or not, the man who got her pregnant must have a complicated background.
Finding this person will probably not be easy.
But since he has sent people to keep a close watch on her and protect her safety, it is not a bad thing for her.
The only option now is to find another opportunity to investigate further.
The next day.
Linglong prepared breakfast and pregnancy-preserving medicine early in the morning.
“Miss, I have prepared the herbs in the correct order and quantity as you instructed. They are simmered over a low flame, so there are no problems.”
Linglong said confidently.
yesterday.
Mu Chenshuang taught Linglong how to allocate herbs for decoction and the decoction time. Linglong had a talent for medicine and learned very quickly.
"Dispose of the dregs of the medicine as I instructed, and make sure no one notices," Mu Chenshuang instructed.
She taught Linglong the method, but it would be difficult for an experienced doctor with decades of experience to see the secret.
Given her current predicament, taking the medicine would be a bit of a hassle in order to avoid being discovered.
Linglong replied, "I understand, Miss, please rest assured!"
Mu Chenshuang hummed in agreement.
"Why don't you sit down and eat with us?"
Upon hearing this, Linglong trembled in fright, "How could this servant eat with you, Miss?"
Mu Chenshuang pulled her to sit down and comforted her, "We're sisters, don't take it to heart. It's just the two of us in private, so there's no need for you to act like a servant in front of me."
A moment.
A warm feeling welled up in Linglong's heart.
"But this servant..."
Linglong couldn't correct her for a moment. After all, her mistress was always her mistress, so she quickly stopped talking, not knowing what to say.
Mu Chenshuang could see her difficulty, "Correct it slowly, eat first."
It will indeed take time to change this deeply ingrained sense of hierarchy.
After breakfast.
Granny Zhang arrived at Tingxue Courtyard with several maids, who were carrying some things in their hands.
This old nanny, Zhang, was Lu Wei's confidante. When she saw Mu Chenshuang, she bowed arrogantly and said, "Miss, this is a maid that I carefully selected for you. She is very efficient."
Mu Chenshuang took a sip of hot water from her teacup and said calmly, "Just let them work in the outer courtyard."
The maids working in the outer courtyard were mostly low-ranking servants from the household, and their monthly stipends were very small.
These words were spoken.
The four maids' expressions immediately changed.
Zhang Mama suddenly chuckled, "Miss, you must be joking. These are maids who have served Madam for many years. Madam reluctantly sent these maids so that they could take good care of you."
"Madam doesn't hold it against you for embarrassing her in public yesterday. She's repeatedly instructed us to take good care of you, to make meticulous arrangements, and not to be careless in the slightest. She's even sent you tonics and imperial spices, which she herself wouldn't use. Miss, please don't be ungrateful for her kindness."
Granny Zhang looked at her with disdain, as if she were talking to a heartless person.
Mu Chenshuang slightly raised her eyes, staring coldly at Zhang Mama. Her eyes, though clear and bright with black and white, were so cold that no one dared to look directly at her.
That one glance sent a shiver down Zhang Mama's spine.
“Since Aunt Lu cares so much about me, how can I let her give me up? It hurts me to see her like this. So, Zhang Mama, you can take them back to serve Madam. As for the people who will serve me, I will arrange it myself. Aunt Lu, don’t worry about it.”
Although Mu Chenshuang was smiling, the curve of her lips was sarcastic, but her eyes were cold and devoid of any warmth.
When Zhang Mama came to her senses, she realized that if she didn't make proper arrangements for these four maids, how could she explain it to the madam?
Judging from this, Mu Chenshuang, who used to be so stubborn and only knew how to use force, has indeed become more shrewd.
Zhang Mama immediately smiled and said, "Miss, as you know, Madam has always doted on you. Look, as soon as you came back, you could stay wherever you wanted without Madam saying a word. As long as things are settled here, Madam will be at ease. If you care about Madam, why not put her at ease?"
The old fox really knows how to pick up on her words.
Mu Chenshuang said coldly, "With Linglong taking care of me, I feel very at ease."
Zhang Mama's face darkened, and she continued, "Wouldn't that make Madam think that you have some dissatisfaction with her, that you have let her down, and that it would hurt her feelings?"
Granny Zhang was determined to place these four maids in Mu Chenshuang's inner courtyard, so that she could know her whereabouts at any time.
"Granny Zhang!"
Mu Chenshuang's voice suddenly turned cold, her beautiful eyes devoid of warmth as she stared at Zhang Mama, "Things shouldn't be said more than three times. I don't want to say it a third time!"
A moment.
The surrounding air pressure dropped suddenly, making one feel a tightness in their chest.
"Either stay in the outer courtyard, or get out!"
