On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Axiang wishes you all a dragon-horse spirit and family happiness!

Asking for red envelopes, asking for recommendations, asking for favorites, I will decisively ask for them in the New Year! \(^o^)~

===================

She called Ruiniang in and told her about the matter. Ruiniang was also a little undecided and asked guessingly: "Auntie, is it true that Housekeeper Yu doesn't know about your affairs?"

Pei Xiner shook her head and said: "It's unlikely. It's too simple to know. Almost everyone in the general's mansion knows that he sent someone back to get the monthly report this time. Even if he didn't deliberately ask people to inquire, he wouldn't know anything about it.

I can't receive any news. What I'm worried about now is, what is his attitude? If Feng bribed him to do harm to us, we must find a perfect way to escape. His ambiguous behavior is very suspicious. We

We must find out what his purpose is."

Ruiniang nodded and said: "That's what my aunt said. Then let me leave this matter to the younger one. The younger one went to Butler Yu to try to trick me and see if I can get anything out of it."

Pei Xiner nodded, and Ruiniang walked out.

According to the rules, men are not allowed to enter the backyard, but women are not necessarily prohibited from going out. Especially when a woman like Ruiniang is married and has given birth to a child, and is a first-class and capable subordinate of the master, there is no such thing as

To be polite, he walked out of the backyard while talking and found Yu Gangze.

Yu Gang was checking the account books. When he saw her coming, he immediately guessed her purpose, but he didn't tell her. He just welcomed her in with a smile and asked: "Zhaogui family, why are you here? Is that right?

What orders does Aunt Pei have? Sit down quickly."

Ruiniang sat down, looked at him and said with a smile: "You don't have to be too polite, housekeeper. In fact, there is nothing special about my visit today. I just heard that there is no one for us in this month's monthly schedule, so Aunt Pei asked me to

Let’s see what’s going on.”

Yu Gang pretended to be surprised and asked, "Are you worrying too much, Aunt Pei? Didn't the monthly records of Aunt Pei and you guys be sent to the house? It's normal for me not to have any."

His expression was very sincere, and if someone who didn't know it looked at it, it would be easy to think that he was telling the truth.

Ruiniang was not fooled, and said with a smile: "That's right. After all, my aunt is still a member of the house. After all, she is still the general's concubine. After all, she is also one of the masters of the house. The monthly schedule should not be short for us. But since we

Here, the monthly chart should be sent here, why would it be sent to the government? Housekeeper, did the person who went to pick up the monthly chart neglect to bring it back? "

Yu Gang shook his head and said: "From the Zhaogui family, what you said is a bit unacceptable. The people I sent out are naturally the most trustworthy and will never do such a thing! This time it is true

It's because the government didn't send it, and that's absolutely true. As you know, I'm just a servant on the fringe of the general's residence. Although I have the title of housekeeper, my real status is not as good as that of the master's housekeeper.

When it comes to my masters' affairs, I can only do my best and do my best, and I will never delay my aunt's affairs!"

Ruiniang's heart moved, she looked at him and said with a smile: "Butler Yu is very loyal and knows the rules well. If my aunt knows about it, she will definitely be happy, and maybe she won't be able to escape any rewards in the future."

Yu Gang then said with a smile: "Thank you for your praise! My aunt is the master of the house. Even if I have ten courages, I don't dare to be disrespectful to her! As for what will happen in the future, who can say for sure? If so.

A reward is certainly good, but even if there is no reward, am I going to be disrespectful to my aunt? If I dare to do such a treasonous thing, the general will not let me go easily."

When Ruiniang heard this, she already understood what he meant, so she stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, now that the matter has been clarified, I will go back first. Butler Yu will be busy."

Yu Gang didn't hold back, and personally sent her to the door of the study. After watching her disappear, he breathed a sigh of relief and went back to sit behind the desk. Thinking of the conversation just now, he couldn't help but laugh.

, I am very satisfied with my performance.

Ruiniang returned to the courtyard and told Pei Xin'er exactly what she had said to Yu Gangze, and then said: "Auntie, it seems that Housekeeper Yu has indeed known about our affairs, but for the time being he has not

He means to offend us. He might just keep pretending to be confused and turn a blind eye to us."

Pei Xiner nodded and said: "At present, it seems that Feng has not bribed him yet. But we can't take it lightly. After all, Feng can give him many things that I can't give him. People die for money, birds die for food, and no one can

I don’t know what will happen in the future.”

Ruiniang thought about it for a while and then said: "Auntie, what do you think his last sentence meant? He specifically mentioned the general. Is it the general's side..."

Pei Xin'er's heart moved, and she had indeed had this idea before. But when she thought of Zhao Yutsang's various behaviors in the seven years since they got married, she had some doubts about her understanding of his character.

She pursed her lips slightly and said calmly: "Now that we are out, we still have to rely more on ourselves for everything. We cannot rely on help from others. Only if we are prepared ourselves can we be prepared."

Ruiniang looked at her and opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak. In the end, she could only sigh silently and said nothing more.

Juan'er listened confused and couldn't help but interjected and asked: "Auntie, Ruiniang, what are you talking about? What do those words mean? What is Butler Yu's plan?"

Pei Xiner and others burst out laughing, looked at her, and said with a smile: "You are still young, it is not a good thing to know too much about this. Just let Ying'er explain it to you again later."

"

Ying'er hurriedly smiled and said: "Auntie, please stop teasing me! What you said to Ruiniang was confused even by me. How can I explain it to others?"

Juaner looked at them, pouted, and said dissatisfiedly: "I am already fifteen years old, but you still treat me like a child!"

Pei Xiner and others couldn't help but become more and more amused. The master and servants were fighting and making trouble, and the matter was revealed.

In the days that followed, Yu Gangze's attitude towards them was indeed not much different from the past, but after careful consideration, there was still a slight difference. Pei Xiner and others could feel that he gradually kept away from her and others, although they were respectful

His expression has not diminished, but he is no longer as groveling and fawning as before.

This is a normal reaction! She felt relieved.
