Chapter 39

Boring, it was really boring!

Ye Qingge leaned on the table and knocked on it from time to time.

He suddenly understood why men in ancient times were so willing to visit brothels, while women liked to fight in palaces and houses.

Since he could not spend his vigorous energy, he had to find something else to do.

For example, men went to wash their hair and massage their feet, or women provoked their mothers and suppressed their mistresses.

If she really wanted to get up, the past few days didn’t seem that boring.

Seven days ago, Ye Qingyue brought her maids and old maids to seek revenge for Madam Bai.

Originally, she was looking forward to the other party creating some interesting tricks, but she did not expect her to be the sacred and untouchable character of the proud little princess.

She had only joked with her a little, but she couldn’t take it anymore.

As if she had been greatly offended, she waved his sleeve and said that she wanted to go and seek justice from his grandmother.

However, just as she stepped out of the door, she suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage. She fell and her head bled.

After she left, she helped her analyze the reason. There was a high chance that the undulations in front of her had withstood gravity that she shouldn’t have withstood at her age, causing her entire body to lose its balance.

She had rewritten her big-breasted and brainless judgment into a big-breasted and brain-damaged one.

…

Five days ago, her grandmother had called her over again and asked her in detail what the old man who sold the Luban Codex looked like. Did she remember his features? Did she remember his name?

Grandmother almost fainted again after she vividly acted out how she knew nothing and shook her head repeatedly.

In the end, when he left the house, Qi repeatedly reminded her not to go to her grandmother’s courtyard to pay her respects if there was nothing else…

This was blatant disdain, but she endured it.

Oh, right, it wasn’t that she deliberately didn’t say anything about the three-way crossbow. It was just that Grandmother didn’t ask.

…

Four days ago, Gui Hua took the initiative to talk to her and ask about her relationship with Captain Li of General Zhanbei Estate. Did he really acknowledge her as his goddaughter?

Ye Qingge told Gui Hua that it was true, but she clearly didn’t believe him.

As for why her adoptive father had taken her in as his goddaughter, she felt that her answer was more pertinent.

Naturally, it was because she had both morals and intelligence. One look and he could tell that she was a promising talent that could be of great use in the army. Therefore, her foster father had a discerning eye.

Gui Hua expressed her doubts again. Alright, since she didn’t believe the truth, she would tell another story.

Hence, she could only make up one story. He said that Captain Li Da had actually admired his mother, Madam Bai, for a long time, but it was inconvenient to express it because of his status.

He could only use this method and make Madam Bai angry to attract her attention.

When Gui Hua heard this, she actually had an expression of understanding. She immediately stood up and excused herself. She said that her stomach hurt and went to relieve herself.

Seeing that she was very happy to chat with her, she rewarded her with a jade hairpin. She was extremely happy.

I was happy to see her happy. I hoped that one day in the future, she would still be so happy.

Tan Chun said that Gui Hua went straight to Madam Bai’s courtyard after leaving her house. Didn’t she say that she was going to relieve herself? Did she actually treat the matriarch’s courtyard as a toilet?

What would Madam Bai think when she found out?

…..

Three days ago, the Left Influential Courtier sent an invitation to her to attend the Flower Appreciation Feast. Ye Suyun and Ye Qingyue were also invited.

As for the sisters, Ye Jinling and Ye Yinling, who was also born by concubines, they did not receive an invitation. This was very interesting.

Of course, the Left Influential Courtier manor had to find sisters of the same level to hold a party. Only then would they will be respected.

For someone like the original host who was born out of a concubine and divorced, it would only lower her status.

Moreover, in the original owner’s memory, she did not have any interactions with the daughter of the Left Influential Courtier, which made her even more suspicious.

However, even if she was suspicious, she still had to go.

After all, Grandmother had sent someone to deliver a few new clothes and a set of clothes. This meant that she had to go to the banquet beautifully.

Speaking of which, Madam Bai was currently in seclusion to reflect on her mistakes. Naturally, they could not go to the flower appreciation banquet now. She must be very unhappy, right?

If she was unhappy, she was happy.

…

Yesterday, Master Jia sent someone to deliver the title deed and a letter. The letter said that the farmland had been bought and the tenants of the Zhou Mansion had also been sent to the farmstead.

Moreover, due to the large-scale use of crossbows and three-way crossbows, the Northern Mang army directly hung up a long-term waiver.

They even sent envoys to seek peace. If everything went well, General Jia, her foster father, Li Da, and the others would return to the capital to be rewarded.

This was good news.

It was better to have a big tree to lean against. The better the tree looked, the colder she would be.

Eh? The colder it was, the more it sounded like a bad omen.

…

“Miss, are you really not going to take a look? Which clothes are you going to wear?”

The little girl Tan Chun was holding a few sets of clothes in her hands and was very troubled.

The young lady was going to attend the flower appreciation banquet in the Left Influential Courtier’s residence, but the matter of choosing clothes was handed to her. She really could not make up her mind about such a big matter.

“Little Tan Chun, if you want to become my maid, you have to have the ability to convince others. Otherwise, even if you rely on your qualifications to come up, you will still be inferior to others in the end.”

Ye Qingge lazily leaned against the table, her big black and white eyes looking innocent.

However, the words she said were not as innocent and flawless as she looked.

Tan Chun glanced at Ye Qingge and closed his eyes. After thinking for a while, she opened his eyes and resolutely chose a set of aqua-blue clothes for Ye Qingge.

Ye Qingge nodded, a hint of admiration flashing across her bright eyes.

After choosing her clothes, Tan Chun picked out a jade hairpin for Ye Qingge.

“Tell me, why did you choose this dress?”

Ye Qingge had a curious look on her face, but she was actually testing him.

“Miss, Tan Chun feels that the color of this dress suits Miss’s temperament more, and this hairpin is also very beautiful.”

Tan Chun lowered her head and said carefully, but it was obvious that she was not telling the truth.

“Tan Chun, I want to hear the truth. The people around me have to be smart and resourceful, but they also have to be loyal. The first rule is, to be honest with me.”

Ye Qingge looked at Tan Chun, her bright eyes filled with intelligence, and her brows were filled with heroic spirit.

Tan Chun was stunned when she heard this. She didn’t expect Young Miss to say this. However, after thinking for a while, she finally made up her mind and said, “These few colors of Young Miss’s clothes are actually suitable for Young Miss, especially these pink and yellow clothes, which are more suitable for Young Miss. However, Young Miss’s current identity… After all, she’s no longer a young girl from a noble house, so this blue is more suitable.”

After Tan Chun finished speaking, Ye Qingge didn’t show any displeasure on her face, so she continued, “As for this hairpin, although it’s not complicated or exquisite enough, and the quality isn’t expensive enough, its shape is elegant and unique.”

After Tan Chun finished speaking, he stood quietly at the side. After a long while, Ye Qingge smiled and applauded, “Well said.”

“Tan Chun, there’s a saying that one’s heart has an exquisite aperture. I think you’re not inferior to me. I know that your words today are from the bottom of your heart and for my own good. I thank you here. The path I want to walk in the future is not in this back residenceF but in this world. If you’re willing to follow me, I won’t blame you if you’re unwilling. However, there’s only one thing. Loyalty can’t be abolished. I want you to be loyal to me.”

After Ye Qingge finished speaking, she looked at Tanchun. At this moment, Ye Qingge’s image in Tan Chun’s heart had undergone a tremendous change.

She even felt that such a Sixth Miss was comparable to the Eldest Miss in terms of bearing. She even had a faint aura of suppressing the Eldest Miss.

However, in the next moment, Ye Qingge said, “Tan Chun, I’m hungry. I want to eat meat buns.”

“…Didn’t you just finish eating?”

“Hungry again.”

Tan Chun felt that what she had just thought was probably an illusion.
