"Miss, you're back. Are you tired? Go back to your room and rest." The hot water has already been prepared in the house. We can use it when we go back. " The wet nurse greeted him warmly with a smile.

Xu Mingwei nodded to her, thanking her for the hard work. As a junior, she naturally did not need Lady Ji herself to welcome her. Sending the most capable woman by her side to receive her was already considered proper etiquette, but she had lost some of her kinship.

Along the way, and the others were escorted by the girls all the way back to moon-nesting. Wan Rong and the others all welcomed her happily, taking her change of clothes, fetching water and pinching her handkerchief. Without needing Xu Mingwei's instructions, they had already done all the work methodically, to the point where Jade Peaches was beginning to feel uneasy. However, when she returned to the Xu family, Wan Rong and the others would be done with all the work. Even if she had the heart to do it, she would not be able to do it.

The girls in the courtyard were secretly happy when they saw Peaches being humiliated. Only Wan Rong did not make a sound. She looked at Peaches who was carrying a broom outside and sighed helplessly.

After serving them for more than two years, the girl still didn't believe them.

Before Wan Rong could answer, she laughed and said, "Miss, don't be surprised, it's raining today, and it's so dark that it's like it's night. The sun is still early, and Miss has only slept for less than an hour."

Only then did Xu Mingwei relax and ask Wan Rong, "Does Eldest Wife have a letter to send home?"

This time, it was Wan Yi who interrupted her and replied, "The second wife just sent the letter away, there shouldn't be a reply so soon."

Xu Mingwei was amused by them, and scolded hypocritically: "I asked Wan Rong, how come everyone in my room became Wan Rong?"

Wan Ting pouted unhappily, "It's better to be Big Sister Wan Rong, so that Miss doesn't find this servant annoying, and doesn't have to bring even one into the palace."

Seeing Xu Mingwei's expression darken, Wan Rou immediately pulled on Wan Ting's sleeves.

Wan Ting still had something to say, but when she saw the cold look in Xu Mingwei's eyes, she didn't dare say it anymore.

"You're too ambitious, and I can't control you?" Xu Mingwei laughed coldly, and said, "I am not satisfied with what I have done in the moon-nesting, I do not like the look of my master, so go ahead, how can I allow you two to go anywhere?"

Wan Ting's face turned white from what she said, she bit her lips in dissatisfaction, "Miss, you really have no reason to do this, when we left, you didn't bring any peaches with you, you've been in the palace for the past few days, and your sisters have already been reciting to you, now that they're back they only have a few words to say, they're all annoyed because of us servants …"

Wan Yi anxiously pulled her sleeves. Wan Rong looked at Wan Ting, then looked at Xu Mingwei, and suddenly kneeled on the ground.

"Young lady, please don't be angry, Wan Ting is young and inexperienced, I hope that young lady will not lower herself to the same level as her."

Seeing that, Wan Yi also kneeled down and begged for forgiveness.

Xu Mingwei looked at Wan Ting who was still angrily standing there, and coldly laughed: "All of you, stand up. You all are thinking this way for her, yet she doesn't appreciate it."

Wan Yi used all her might to pull on Wan Ting's sleeves, but Wan Ting did not know what kind of demon she had been possessed by, and completely ignored him, standing there stubbornly.

Xu Mingwei ignored her, and let Wan Rong help him change her clothes and put on her shoes. She also asked Wan Yi to get a hot handkerchief, and didn't look at Wan Ting from left to right.

The other three people were unable to do anything, they could only listen to Xu Mingwei's orders and do their own work, which only served to make it more unnecessary for Wan Ting in this room.

Wan Ting felt that she had missed her duty. The more Xu Mingwei ignored her, the more she felt guilty, wanting to take over Wan Rong's job. With just a glance, Xu Mingwei looked at them, and they did not dare make any suggestions. Even idiots could see that the seven girls who was usually the most talkative was definitely going to use Wan Ting today, no one would dare to go against her at this critical juncture, if they were to obstruct their master, wouldn't that be courting death?!

After being ignored for a long time, Wan Ting finally could not hold back and knelt down, crying as she pleaded, "Miss is a mass of people, I do not know how respectful I am. I hope that Miss can consider the past and forgive me this time, and not chase me out."

Seeing that she was finally willing to give in, Xu Mingwei and the others, who had already achieved their goal of intimidating Wan Rong, Xu Mingwei was also too lazy to pursue the matter, so he coldly said, "If you know you're wrong, then get up, it's only this one time, there's no next time. There was no need to talk about past friendships. Emotions were all lies. It was common for people to take the master's side for a few taels of silver. "You and I, master and servant, took the Xu family's monthly money and did our duty. I will not ask for anything more, and even if I asked, it might not necessarily be so."

Wan Ting's face was red and white from her harsh words, and it was indeed because of seven girls's good temper that her courage was gradually being raised. If five girls was her master, how would she dare act so recklessly?

Wan Rong and the rest stood at the side, silent, as they understood what Xu Mingwei had just said to them.

"Get up, don't kneel. After doing what you should do, there will be a place in this courtyard for you." If we do not have the ability to do so, the moon-nesting will not keep idle people, and leave while carrying all the bags, so as not to say anything, our faces will turn ugly. " After Xu Mingwei finished dressing herself, she took the bowl of water from Wan Rong and rinsed her mouth, then said to Wan Ting.

Wan Ting had only knelt for less than half a moment, but she had almost failed to stand up. It was only with Wan Yi coming forward to support him that she barely managed to stand up.

Xu Mingwei walked outside, the few girls wanted to follow him, but she waved her hand and said, "With the peaches following us, it will be fine, just do whatever you need to do in the courtyard. As for the things that you have not done yet, do them quickly, until tomorrow night when the exams are over, it will be too late."

The four of them did not dare to persuade her again. They nodded and followed her out with their eyes.

When Xu Mingwei's figure was completely out of sight, Wan Yi patted her chest and said loudly, "Aiyo, my mother, I was so angry when I woke up today, it almost scared my soul out of my body."

Wan Rou pushed Wan Ting and said, "You too, have eaten the wrong medicine, what kind of identity does she have, and what kind of identity do we have, to even have a go at her?! Are you crazy? You can't even pull it back! "

Wan Ting said bitterly, "I was just complaining for the sake of my sisters, didn't you all complain about being heartless previously? Why don't you guys talk about it in front of your girls today?"

Wan Rou was angered, "Little ungrateful bastard, who was the one that pleaded on your behalf just now? It's one thing for us to gossip about it, but who would actually say in front of their master that they thought it was a long time before they hanged themselves. "

Wan Rong was impatient to hear their bickering, and said, "Alright, alright, let's calm down a little, are you afraid that the girl will not be angry enough, and come back to beat you up again? He would do whatever he had just done, and that would be the end of the matter. No one should bring it up again. The lady usually treats us amiably is polite, really take this courtesy as a blessing, some good days in the future! In any case, since there is such a thing as Wan Ting, no one can help him, it is all self-inflicted. "

Seeing that Wan Rong was enraged, everyone did not dare argue anymore, and dispersed to do their own work.

Xu Mingwei went to the Outer Academy and found the Jade Peach that was being carried away by his wife. She didn't look at her and only told her to follow him, scaring her to the point that her face turned white. Ever since Xu Mingwei brought the peach into the palace, no one carried all the work in the courtyard, as it all fell back onto the wife's body. Just as she was cursing and swearing, Peaches was pulled back again. The old woman thought that she had lost her power and didn't wait for Peaches to catch her breath before she sent her to work everywhere. She never thought that Xu Mingwei would actually find people to search for him in the courtyard. That wench was not afraid, she continuously looked at Bi Tao fawningly, hoping that she would not tell Xu Mingwei about him.

No matter how strong Peaches was, she would be tired after working for two hours. Now that he was rescued by Xu Mingwei, he was extremely happy, so he threw the broom towards Xu Mingwei.

"Miss, you're looking for me?" For a moment, Peaches was so happy that she forgot to call herself a servant.

"Mm, follow me to the flower garden for a walk." Wan Ting and the others had waited on them in the room for two or three years already. Although Xu Mingwei's words were firm and decisive, she was still reminiscing about her old friendship.

"Alright!" "Yes," Peaches answered brightly, her face full of pure excitement.
