"Aunty, I understand your good intentions. I will live up to your expectations of me. " Liu Yunfei was extremely sincere and respectful when she said these words, but the stifling feeling in her bones had never dissipated.
Who is it? These conversations were not to be overheard by anyone. This was the place where Bai Ye often stayed, so naturally, his heart was with Bai Ye. If their words were to reach White Night's ears, it was likely that it would already be prepared. How could it be possible to obtain more of these plans? It would definitely be over.
Liu Yunfei opened the door and looked around; however, there was no one outside.
"There's no one outside." Liu Yunfei went back to the bedside and shook her head.
"No one can make such a sound." Qin Pei kept feeling uneasy in her heart, but she had no way of going out to look for her herself. She could only put this matter aside and pay attention to it in the future.
"Forget it, the servants at home shouldn't be so talkative. Bai Ye's most loyal dog leg isn't here. We're just being a bit careful when we do things, so there shouldn't be any problems."
She already had a rough idea of whether or not there was anyone outside, and if so, who. There weren't many people in the house now. Other than Bai Ye, there were only Dr. Chen and a few hygiene workers who knew the truth. As for those who were in charge of taking care of her, there were only Zhang Ma.
Zhang Ma was someone she had bribed before, how could she tell this to Bai Ye? Moreover, she had always been someone who talked too much. She probably wouldn't say anything to Bai Ye that she shouldn't have. Cen Pei felt very reassured. She didn't think too much about it.
But just because she was relieved did not mean that Liu Yunfei was relieved as well. Liu Yi Fei was not at ease no matter how hard she tried. She just wanted to get this out and cut off her tongue in case the news got out.
But the problem was, she hadn't even seen a shadow of him, so finding someone was easier said than done.
Therefore, with such unease, Liu Yunfei pondered whether or not she should change her plans.
Just as Liu Yunfei and Cen Pei was about to continue their conversation after closing the door, the Zhang Ma who was hiding in an empty room on the second floor started to sweat profusely, as if he was fleeing for his life out of fear.
She knew that she definitely could not allow herself to be discovered by others. What she had heard just now should be absolutely confidential news. If Madam and Miss Liu found out that she had heard the conversation, who knew what method she would use to keep it a secret.
It wasn't impossible for her to just leave, she definitely couldn't. She still had a disappointing son and a baby grandson. If she left, what would happen to her family's financial resources?
Zhang Ma was holding a white porcelain bowl in her arms, inside it was half a bowl full of light porridge. Originally, she was only here to deliver porridge to the Madam. She didn't expect to hear things that she shouldn't have heard. Originally, she hadn't expected to know this much. She only wanted to see when the person inside would finish speaking so she could send the congee in. Unexpectedly, she was shocked by their conversation.
To think that the Madam was pretending to be sick …
Her sect was still planning these things behind her young master's back …
No matter what the frightened Zhang Ma heard, he could only swallow it down and digest it himself. He carefully returned to the kitchen and changed the white porcelain bowl into a wooden bowl. He then scooped another bowl of porridge and after a long while, he carried it up to the second floor.
"Dong, dong, dong ~ ~ ~"
When Zhang Ma knocked on the door again, Liu Yunfei had already gone downstairs. Only Qin Pei was left in the room, and she said in a weak voice: "Come in."
When Zhang Ma entered, her hands were still trembling. This point was precisely what Qin Pei, who was lying on the bed, was looking at. She narrowed her eyes slightly, paying attention to her every move.
She was holding a high quality wooden bowl, and the sound it made was clearly the sound of white porcelain colliding. But this point, did not prevent Qin Pei from determining the truth. She had already determined that the one who was outside the door was the Zhang Ma.
"Madam, please be careful." Although Zhang Ma already knew that Qin Pei was pretending to be serious, she did not expose her on the surface. She was still feeding the spoon to her as she had been doing for a while.
Seeing her trembling hands, Qin Pei looked at her with a deeper meaning, "Zhang Ma … What was going on? You have been in the Bai Family for so many years, so you should know what to do and what not to say.
Her voice was soft, but Zhang Ma could hear what she said clearly, and understood the meaning behind her words. She could not say what she should not say. She was indirectly warning her.
He warned her that what she had just heard was not something she should have said. With this, she understood that Qin Pei had already guessed that it was her.
Since Qin Pei did not say anything, and knew that he was giving her a chance, she pretended not to care about it, "Madam is right, I understand these principles."
"I have always been at ease with the work of the Zhang Ma." She nodded slightly at her, and although she still had a sickly look on her face, she was no longer as weak as she had been on a white night.
After a short conversation, the Zhang Ma trembled in fear, not knowing how to react. Finally, she had passed through her ordeal. She suddenly felt some regret that she had appeared too promptly and heard their conversation. She didn't even give up and even stood outside the door for a while longer.
Returning to the kitchen and placing the high quality wooden bowl on the marble stove, Zhang Ma's mind started to wander.
She could not tell White Night that she had already received quite a bit of benefits from the Madam before. Furthermore, from the moment she entered the Bai Clan, she had gone to the Madam to take care of her and to work for her. The Zhang Ma did not know what to do either. There were too many things in her mind right now, and she was already trembling with fear.
The last time Miss Liu said she would personally send porridge to Young Master Bai Ye, when she came to the villa to clean it the next morning, she discovered something white on the stove. The broken bottom of the bowl didn't have any uniform white granules mixed in.
The Zhang Ma was worried that the Miss Liu had done something bad to the Young Master, so she picked up those things and wrapped them up before finding a time to leave her room to bring them out to the pharmacy to check on the medicine. When the other party told her that it was a medicine, Zhang Ma's face was filled with disbelief.
Although the young master did not like the Miss Liu, but because the Liu Family and the Bai's disease were going to get married, the Madam treated the Miss Liu like her own daughter. I didn't expect her to do such a ridiculous thing. But from their conversation just now, Zhang Ma guessed that they had probably discussed similar things before.
Then the medicine Miss Liu gave the young master last time might have something to do with the young mistress as well.
But these were all his own guesses, of course Zhang Ma wouldn't dare to say it out loud, and she couldn't say it out loud either.
However, hiding it from Bai Ye, Zhang Ma felt her heart becoming even more anxious. Bai Ye was also very considerate to her, she couldn't let Bai Ye fall into her trap just like this …
