Returning to Ye's Mansion, Ye Yuning bid farewell to the old lady and returned to his own courtyard.

After eating dinner, Ye Yuning was extremely tired, so she ordered the servants to boil some hot water and prepare to take a bath. Inside the barrel, Ye Yuning leaned on her arm, her eyes half closed, as though she was asleep.

Bai Lan picked up a few bathbeans and rubbed them together before she started to rub them carefully in his hair. Ye Yuning's skin was white, but his hair was long and black, which took a lot of time to wash.

With her long hair flowing behind her head and a towel wrapped around her body, Ye Yuning laid on the bench lazily and let a few servants dry her hair.

The small stove was burning with charcoal. It was not burning hot at all. Bai Yi sprinkled a small piece of sesame seed cake into her mouth before lifting a strand of hair to smoke.

"At last, Miss can sleep." Bai Yi straightened her body, and just as he was speaking, she saw Bai Lan raise a finger at her, "Shh! Miss has already fallen asleep. "

Bai Yi looked and, sure enough, Ye Yuning was half lying on the chair, her eyes shut tight. She was breathing heavily, and her face had a faint blush. What should she do? Will you catch cold here? How about we wake up the young miss? " Bai Yi asked with a frown.

Bai Lan shook her head: "Young miss must be exhausted. I don't want to wake her up, I'll go get a bed and cover young miss up." Finished speaking, she got up and walked towards the inner room. After a while, she came out with a blue embroidered treasure quilt.

Seeing that Ye Yuning was sleeping soundly, the two of them heaved a sigh of relief and extinguished the candles, leaving the candles on the table.

"You will be on duty tonight, so I'll go to sleep first." Bai Yi yawned and walked out.

Bai Lan nodded and rested outside.

Ye Yuning treated the few servants very well. Normally, the night duty was to let them rest outside for the night.

Bai Lan turned a few times on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep no matter what. She was a second class servant, with a monthly allowance of one silver tael. This could be considered good treatment in the other residences, but in Ye's Mansion, this was only so-so.

Fei Qing and Fei Xiu were first-rate maidservants, but every month, they were worth two taels of silver!

This silver was not from the Residence of Yun, but from the Cloud Prefecture's Lee family. Strictly speaking, they were not Ye's Mansion's maidservants. There were actually two other first-rate maidservants by Ye Yuning's side. It was just that the old mistress did not bring it up, and neither did the First Wife.

And now that Fei Qing was injured and could not be served, the young miss had vacated her seat as a servant, which was why Bai Lan had been so attentive to her these days.

The next day, when Ye Yuning woke up, she realized that she was not sleeping on the bed and was startled. With a soft sound, Bai Lan walked in with the bronze bowl in her hands.

"Miss, you're awake? "You can wash up now."

Ye Yuning raised her eyebrows, "Where's Fei Xiu?"

"Miss, did you forget? Yesterday, you said that Fei Xiu was too tired, so you gave her a day's leave to rest. " Bai Lan smiled beautifully.

Ye Yuning thought about it, and since it was true, she nodded, "Alright! "Go get your clothes, I'll wash them and put them on."

Bai Lan bowed and agreed, then quickly entered the room.

Ye Yuning used the soap to wash her hands, and after carefully washing her face, she dipped a willow branch in salt and brushed her teeth, allowing Bai Lan to rinse her mouth.

"Miss, what do you think about this outfit today?"

Ye Yuning turned his head, only to see a green chrysanthemum tattoo shirt on the table, an indigo water immortal dress, and a slight nod of his head, "You don't have to go out today, just this set!"

Bai Lan was ecstatic, she immediately brought his clothes to help Ye Yuning put it on.

Before long, Ye Yuning walked out of the inner room. Bai Yi had already brought breakfast, two bowls of porridge, four dishes, a cage of Crystal Bag, and a plate of Flowercake.

"Miss, the salty porridge is shrimp and peas, while the sweet one is lily and coconut porridge. Which one do you want?" Bai Yi grinned as she came over to ask.

Ye Yuning pointed to the small bowl in the pink and white pottery: "Eat this sweet!"

Bai Yi immediately brought over the bowl of lily cones porridge.

Whilst stirring the white and smooth sweet porridge, Ye Yuning ate slowly. The two maids were especially diligent today, Ye Yuning naturally knew the reason.

However, the doctor also said that Fei Qing's injuries would take at least two or three months to heal. During this period of time, just Fei Xiu alone was not enough.

Although Fei Xiu had already sent a letter to the Li Family, it would take at least ten days for the Li Family to send someone over. In addition, the new maidservants had to have a period of adaptation before they could serve them well.

Ye Yuning noticed that Bai Lan was looking at him vigilantly. After finishing his breakfast, Bai Yi quickly carried it down and did not say much.

Ye Yuning stretched her back and decided to walk around the courtyard to get some food. Walking out of the room, Ye Yuning found that a few servants were sweeping the room, Ye Yuning had no choice but to sit in the corridor.

"The two of you, go to the flower room and bring two pots of chrysanthemums. After a few days, it will be mid-autumn. When the flowers bloom, Miss will be happy to see them." At this time, a clear voice sounded.

Ye Yuning looked up to see Xiang Er ordering two servants to carry the flower pots. Xiang Er gave her rewards for the previous incident but he did not promote her. She was still a third-rate servant. It was just that from the looks of her, she was more imposing than Bai Lan and the others.

"What orders do you have, Miss?" Xiang Er stepped forward, bowed, and asked.

Seeing Xiang Er being so obedient, Ye Yuning could not help but cover her mouth and laugh: What position are you in now?

"Reporting to Miss, Sister Fei Qing has asked me to take care of the cleanliness of the courtyard, and sometimes she will also let me run errands." Xiang Er answered simply, without showing any displeasure on his face.

Ye Yuning was secretly surprised, last time the little girl was obviously greedy, why did she change now? Cleaning the yard could be said to be the most tiring of tasks. There were two apricot trees in the yard, and they were often covered with leaves. But, seeing that Xiang Er was the type to order others around, she did not do anything.

"When Fei Qing told you to do this, were you willing?" Ye Yuning asked.

Xiang Er laughed: What's there to be unhappy about, I am a third tier servant girl, what I am doing is crude work like this! If Miss ever were to promote me to a servant, then I naturally wouldn't need to be so tired. "

Ye Yuning could not help but laugh: "Alright then, I will mention you as a level two, in the future, you will be in charge of my courtyard's plants."

Xiang Er was overjoyed upon hearing this, and knelt down, "Thank you, Miss!"

"Fei Qing is now living alone, you should go and accompany her! If she has any inconvenience, help her take care of it. " Ye Yuning instructed again.

How could Xiang Er be unhappy? She quickly nodded her head and ran back to her room. Ye Yuning saw her walk out quickly with a bag in her arms, and entered the room Fei Qing was currently living in, her face full of smiles.

"This girl is full of ideas, although she is a bit greedy, she can still be used." Let her try it out on second class first. If she does well, I can bring it up again in the future. " Ye Yuning thought.
