"Shen Hong, why are you here?" The moment Shen Hong stepped into the kitchen, the manager of the kitchen walked over and blocked her way.
When she was red-eyed in front of the Third Concubine back then, every time he saw her, this manager would smile so much that he would flatter her. But what about now?
However, no matter how angry she was, she wasn't stupid enough to reveal her emotions.
"What is it? "Master is just angry at me, so he doesn't pay much attention to me these days. But in the end, I'm still the big girl in front of Master. Why is it that Mother Li, I can't even enter the kitchen anymore?"
Seeing Shen Hong like that, Li Ma became hesitant, Shen Hong's words were reasonable, she did not dare try to stop him anymore, and could only allow him to enter.
Actually, in these few days, every single one of them only received orders from the higher ups to rise up, but when Shen Hong was favored by the Third Concubine, their viciousness was deeply engraved in their hearts.
When Li Ma was scared stiff by her, Shen Hong smiled, and walked towards the kitchen with big steps.
"I came here today to help cook a pot of soup for our Third Madam. Do you usually cook this soup for her?"
Hearing Shen Hong's words, the other girls all shook their heads, seeing them like this, Shen Hong did not ask anymore questions, and called another girl to help.
"You should also know Third Madam's taste."
As Shen Hong spoke, sshe casually plucked a few ingredients and sprinkled the medicinal powder between her fingernails into the seasoning. Then, taking advantage of when no one was looking, he pretended to walk towards the water jar at the side unintentionally and sprinkled all the remaining medicinal powder in the small porcelain bottle in her hand.
Only then did he walk out with satisfaction.
After Shen Hong left, the little girl who was called gave a blank look to Mother Li, "Mother Li …"
Seeing her like this, Mother Li waved her hand, "Alright, let's do as she says."
After walking out, Shen Hong looked back, and the corner of her mouth revealed a terrifying smile. Although she did not know what the medicinal powder was used for, as long as it could make Third Concubine uncomfortable, she would be very happy.
She asked herself in her heart, when she was serving beside Third Concubine, she had never done anything that she felt guilty of. Now that she was being treated like this, how could she be willing?
The Tang Third Concubine that she sent over drank it, but she did not feel the slightest discomfort. Shen Hong could not help but suspect that the young miss was testing out her sincerity, and was panicking all day.
"Eldest Miss, the old master sent someone back to tell you that he will be back tomorrow."
When Shi Anran was flipping through the account books, Uncle Yang came over. Hearing these words, Shi Anran's heart became a little complicated, but her expression did not show it at all as she nodded with a smile, "Mn, got it, Lian Xing, send Uncle Yang out, and make some preparations for tomorrow from the manor."
Receiving Shi Anran's orders, Lian Xing turned around and led Uncle Yang out.
When she walked to the door, Lian Xing stuffed a black bag into Uncle Yang's hands, and said with a smile, "Our young miss has been worrying about the old master day and night, and has looked much more haggard than before. I'm afraid that even the old master cannot fully prepare for his return."
After hearing Lian Xing's words, she knew what to do. Laughing, she nodded her head, "Since that's the case, then let Eldest Miss rest well, in case Master comes back tomorrow to worry about Eldest Miss."
After saying that, Uncle Yang walked towards the front yard. Lian Xing had also been at the door watching Uncle Yang's figure completely disappear into the distance, only then did he turn around to walk back, but unexpectedly, the moment he turned around, he discovered that there was actually another person standing behind her. Lian Xing was also shocked, and kept patting her chest with her hands, angrily rolling her eyes at Wang Yuan.
"You scared me to death! Why don't you move a little!"
Hearing Lian Xing's complaints, Wang Yuan did not speak either. Only when Lian Xing turned around and headed towards his room, did Wang Yuan stop her.
"Is Eldest Miss not feeling well these two days?"
Hearing Wang Yuan's nonsense, Lian Xing was a little confused. It took him a while to react, he had said what she had said to Uncle Yang just now.
He was even eavesdropping!
Lian Xing was so angry that she had her hands on her waist like a teapot, "To think that I thought you were a gentleman, but I never thought that you were actually a petty person who liked to eavesdrop on other people's conversation!"
Wang Yuan also did not say anything, nor did he refute him, and just quietly allowed Lian Xing to bang his head on his head without stop.
Only when Lian Xing had scolded enough and was gasping for breath, did Wang Yuan open his mouth once again, "Is the young miss sick?"
Hearing Wang Yuan's adamant words, Lian Xing helplessly rolled his eyes, and sighed, "I say, why are you so stubborn? Miss is in good health, what are you doing cursing Miss? "
Seeing her like this, Wang Yuan finally understood the main problem, "Miss is fine."
Thinking to this point, he did not say anything more. He turned around and jumped onto the roof, then hid himself.
After returning to Shi Anran's room, Lian Xing's expression was still a little unhappy. Shi Anran knew her character, so he did not force her.
Sure enough, not long later, Liu Yue couldn't help but move to Lian Xing's side and ask in a small voice.
"Lian Xing, what's wrong with you? Who made you angry? "
After hearing what Liu Yue had said, Lian Xing finally found the person she was talking to and told them everything she knew.
Shi Anran was sitting not far from the two of them, so she more or less understood what was going on.
However, when he recalled that it was because of her in his previous life that Wang Yuan died such a wronged death, he frowned, what does Wang Yuan mean by this?
It wasn't that she was sentimental too much, but she was well aware of Wang Yuan's habits. When he agreed to his father's words and came to the Agarwood Courtyard, she already felt that something wasn't right.
If he continued to stay by her father's side, after a few years, he would be able to get a position of an official. However, if he followed her, he would get nothing.
Ye Zichen shook his head, then tried hard to get rid of the bad feelings in his head.
Lian Xing and Liu Yue, who was standing behind her and talking softly, thought that Shi Anran had a headache again and hurriedly walked forward to support her.
"Miss, you should go to the bed to rest first."
Shi Anran turned her head suspiciously, just in time to see Liu Yue nod in agreement with a face full of worry.
He couldn't help but smile, "I'm fine, why should I lie on the bed?"
"Miss, don't hold back if you have a headache. Or else, this servant will go out and find a doctor to take a look for you."
After saying that, Liu Yue was about to walk out. Shi Anran was truly helpless now, she called out to her coldly, "No need, I was just thinking about something just now. You, why can't you be more steady?"
Hearing Shi Anran's words, Liu Yue felt wronged, "Aren't I also worried about young miss's health?"
Looking at her wronged expression, Shi Anran shook her head. This girl, she was really … Unable to bear her sadness, she could only comfort Liu Yue with a few words.
Hearing Shi Anran's words, Liu Yue intentionally used a handkerchief to wipe her eyes, and laughed: "Young miss, this is the first time you are coaxing a servant like this."
After saying that, she proudly raised her chin, looking very much like a mouse that had just finished stealing food.
