Zhong Miao Yi didn't know what was going on with her, but she was stopped by some mysterious person.
"Ah Jiu."
Ah Jiu was stunned for a moment. Seeing Zhong Miao Yi looking at her, he still suspected that he heard wrongly. "Is the Madam calling me?"
"Yes, come over." The Zhong Miao Yi nodded and waved at her.
Ah Jiu placed the things in his hands on the table and quickly walked to the front of Zhong Miao Yi.
Come to think of it, other than Zhong Miao Yi asking her a few things during the burning of charcoal that day, these few days, Ah Jiu only had to report and pay respects to this kind of normal thing.
Although Su Zeyi had asked her to attend to him, she didn't seem to regard himself as a servant of the Zhong Miao Yi at all. He still did what he should do, and didn't say anything more, nor did he do anything unnecessary.
The bell had been gone for some time, and the Zhong Miao Yi's emotions had gradually settled down. Thinking about it, her enmity and rejection of the Ah Jiu was completely unreasonable.
The departure of the bell had nothing to do with her. She didn't have the right to choose who she served and who she didn't serve.
"What did you do before?" Zhong Miao Yi asked softly as he saw her standing with her head lowered.
Ah Jiu replied honestly, "In reply to Madam, I was doing some chores before, so I am stronger than them."
If not for Su Zeyi saying that Ah Jiu had learned some martial arts from Ban Qiu, she would not have been able to tell at all.
The Zhong Miao Yi nodded, then gestured for her to sit down: "Su Zeyi has asked you to serve me closely, what do you think?"
Ah Jiu sat very calmly. When Zhong Miao Yi asked her this question, she raised her head all of a sudden: "If madam doesn't like it, you can also not be close to her. Just follow her from afar."
Zhong Miao Yi was stunned. She had thought that Ah Jiu would follow her orders, at least not because she wanted to be the first one to choose.
"Su Zeyi did not ask you to follow him from far away." The Zhong Miao Yi smiled and said with some difficulty.
"Since the Ah Jiu has been given to Madam, it is natural that Madam should be the focus of attention." Ah Jiu's eyes were always filled with a calm calmness.
Zhong Miao Yi choked, her heart actually trembling a little.
Maybe she couldn't get another personal servant, but just as Ah Jiu said, following from far away wasn't a good idea either.
"Where's Su Zeyi?" Zhong Miao Yi blinked her eyes and avoided Ah Jiu's gaze.
Ah Jiu stood up, took a glance at the door, and said leisurely: "I'm far away from Lord Zhou. If Madam wants to look for Master, this servant will look for you."
"No need." Zhong Miao Yi waved her hand. She did not want to get involved in the matter between Su Zeyi and Zhou Ji.
These two people clearly weren't that kind of a life-and-death fight. Although Su Zeyi always had an extremely bad attitude towards Zhou Ji, but it didn't seem like there was anything Su Zeyi could do to him.
It was a little like a sulking child. While hiding and saying that he wouldn't care about him anymore, he also couldn't really push him away.
Su Zeyi had always been such an awkward person, his little face seemed to be more important than his life.
Ban Qiu said that it had been snowing for the past two days and was extremely cold. She sat by the window in the house and said that this window was old and had some cracks in it. The cold wind blew in a little, allowing the Zhong Miao Yi to understand what Ban Qiu meant by it.
Just as he was thinking, he saw Su Zeyi come in. He walked to the charcoal brazier and stood there for a long time, until all the cold air on his body disappeared. Only then did he approach Zhong Miao Yi's side.
"Where's Zhou Ji?" He, the Zhong Miao Yi, was a little strange. Logically speaking, if Zhou Ji's personality were to become entangled, it would not be so easy for him to get rid of him.
Su Zeyi could not take it anymore and frowned, "It's only been a short two days, God knows what he's trying to do, it's so annoying. When will he be able to repair that crappy mansion? I really want to kick him out quickly! "
The Zhong Miao Yi looked at Su Zeyi quietly, waiting for him to calm down before speaking: "Did you know that you changed a little after Zhou Ji came over?"
Sure enough, Su Zeyi was startled, and fell silent.
He knew this himself, but he still insisted, "I'm getting more agitated now!"
After he finished speaking, he did not want to continue this topic, but looked towards the Zhong Miao Yi: "I will personally go over to Yun Mengqi and tell her that you are peacefully learning about stewards, and it doesn't matter whether you can learn or not, as long as others know that the person who holds the power is you, I have already settled everything, you don't have to be too worried."
Su Zeyi knew that Yun Mengqi would not let this go easily, in the end, he still had to discuss this matter with Yun Mengqi.
Originally, he thought that Zhong Miao Yi would not say anything, but he did not expect Zhong Miao Yi to pull him back: "No, I'll settle this myself."
If Su Zeyi were to speak of it, Yun Mengqi would only feel even more unconvinced and hate her even more.
She was going to face it personally this time. She wasn't going to run away from anything.
The Zhong Miao Yi was serious, and it took a lot of effort to hold Su Zeyi's hand. Su Zeyi looked at her, and from the bottom of his heart, he didn't want the two of them to clash. At least, he didn't want Yun Mengqi to have much of a chance to contact the Zhong Miao Yi before the birth of the child.
But since the Zhong Miao Yi had already opened his mouth, he couldn't refute her words. Even so, it was just a matter between a woman, so there was no need for him to get involved.
In the next three days, Zhong Miao Yi waited for news from the palace. She was not anxious, she was afraid that Yun Mengqi had already gone crazy.
It had been three days. Zhong Miao Yi put down the embroidered handkerchief in her hand.
Yun Mengqi's hope had been shattered by a stone. She probably still did not understand the Emperor's true meaning, after all. Her Majesty had never failed.
The Ah Jiu said that Yun Mengqi went to look at the door again.
The Zhong Miao Yi told her not to worry too much about it, and told the people around her to do their own things well, and not to speak carelessly about it, so as to not provoke any trouble, and to be reprimanded by Yun Mengqi and treated as a target to vent. There was no need at all.
As expected, Yun Mengqi did not see it coming. When Ah Jiu came in again, she said that Yun Mengqi had already gone back home. She looked slightly out of sorts.
Zhong Miao Yi softly replied. His heart was not filled with the exhilarating feeling she had been expecting, rather, it was very calm.
She could already see her own stomach bulging slightly. She could feel a life being nurtured within her, and she had no choice but to fight for power. Even if it wasn't for herself, it was for the child in her womb.
Zhong Miao Yi was constantly reminded of the years when she had just married and how Xiao Yao had always protected her with all her might. Even if she could not protect her, her feelings were peerless.
