Gu Qingling couldn't sleep, and Mrs. Yao San couldn't sleep either after she returned to the house. She got angry with a group of servants for a while before letting them go.
Then he wrote an angry letter to Mr. Yao, telling Mr. Yao that Dong Ling might be the "insider" arranged by the old lady.
It takes at least more than a month to get from Jinling to the place where Mr. Yao Sanye takes office.
Therefore, by the time Master Yao Sanye received the letter, the eldest maid Dong Ling had already taken up residence in the courtyard of the old lady Gu Qingling, and had assigned a maid to serve her, so she could raise the baby with peace of mind.
When Sanye Yao arrived here, he felt that the maid he had brought out before could not be brought out to see people, so he hired a local girl from a good family to be his "aunt".
Shi Wan had been studying with her father since she was a child. She was literate and proficient in writing, and she was also very smart. When she came to compete with Mr. Yao, she outshone the other maids around him and became his favorite.
No, while reading the letter, Shi Wan was also waiting beside Yao Sanye, and even peeked at Yao Sanye's letter openly.
When she saw the letter from the mistress of the house saying "congratulations" to Master Yao San for becoming a father again, she was stunned for a moment, and then she felt happy: "Master, this is a good thing! You are now a father again, now it's better,
In addition to the mistress, you are going to have a child again..."
Of course, she was not really happy about the fact that Mr. Yao was going to be a "father", but the meaning revealed in the mistress's letter was that the mistress allowed her aunt to be pregnant.
This is a good thing for Shi Wan. As long as the mistress is willing to let go, she will be eligible to become pregnant. When the time comes...
"Hahahaha..." Mr. Yao also smiled, "It's indeed a good thing. I didn't expect Dong Ling to be pregnant. Dong Ling was originally a maid serving your mistress. She was pretty and pretty.
It's most gentle and petty, and it was your mistress who asked for it, so I accepted it."
"When I heard this introduction, it was like a living sister appeared in front of me. I yearned for her and wished I could make friends with her now. To win my favor, this sister must have something special about her.
From now on, I will learn from my sister how to serve you."
Mr. Yao was very happy to be coaxed by her like this. He nodded her nose and said, "You are also very good."
Then he continued to look down and saw that Mrs. Yao San suspected that Dong Ling was the old lady's "eyeliner".
Shi Wan felt a thump in her heart, feeling annoyed that she had opened her mouth too early.
How could an aunt of hers get involved in this kind of thing between the mistress and the old lady?
Mr. Yao frowned.
Shi Wan's heart was pounding, and she was about to think of a remedy when she heard Mr. Yao say: "Wanwan, you are smart, tell me, what should I do if Dong Ling is the old lady's spy?
"
"This... I am an aunt, how could I know? This matter... has to be decided by you."
"If I ask you to tell me, just tell me, why are you being such a girl?" Yao Sanye said, "I just think you are smart, come from a scholarly family, and are not pedantic, so I accepted you. If you can't even do this
If you can't help me with even a small matter, how can I leave matters here to you in the future?"
Shi Wan really wanted to use the power of the mistress of the house to show off her prestige here and use Yao Sanye's influence to build her own connections under the pretense that the mistress of the house was away.
When she returns to Jinling, she may not be able to compete with the real wife, but here, who dares not to recognize her, Shi Wan?
If Mr. Yao stayed here for a long time and was re-elected two or three times, that would be eight or nine years, and the children under her knees would also be older. Even if he returned to Jinling and met his real wife, she would still be able to compete.
Obviously, Shi Wan's ambitions are extremely high, otherwise, she would not leave the wife of the family unruly and insist on being the wife of a man.
"Master~" Shi Wan coquettishly said, "Why do you get so angry even as you talk? I don't dare to say it. Isn't it because I'm afraid that if I say something wrong, I will ruin my important matter..."
"Just say what you say, am I still such an unreasonable person? Besides, it's me who makes the decision, not you."
"My master said so, then I feel relieved..." Seeing that the rain has turned to sunshine, Shi Wan also showed a smile on his face, and expressed his thoughts with a smile, "If you want to follow me, if winter
Sister Ling is really the old lady’s spy, so it’s not necessarily a bad thing.”
"Oh? What do you say?"
"Master, think about it, you are a concubine. The old lady has spent so much effort to support you to become an official. If she didn't send one or two eyeliners to keep an eye on you, would she be able to rest assured? If the old lady is willing to take a broader view
The line is by your side, which means that the old lady values you. What we are afraid of is not that the old lady has spies, but that the old lady does not value you... Valuing you means that you will have many opportunities in the future. If you do not value you,
..." Shi Wan said, "Even if I don't say anything, I will understand, right?"
Mr. Yao thought thoughtfully: "Well, what you said makes sense."
Mr. Yao didn't know whether the old lady Shi Wan thought highly of him, but Mr. Yao still knew that Mrs. Yao made Gu Qingling angry and held him back three times.
It was also because of this that he wanted to "support" a reliable "housekeeper" so that he would not have to worry about a fire in the backyard when he was busy outside.
Yao Sanye motioned to Shi Wan to continue.
Shi Wan continued: "This is just one of the reasons. The second is that with the informant by your side, the old lady can rest assured. Anyway, I have no bad intentions, and there is nothing that I can't let the old lady see, so I'll give it to you generously."
The old lady has taken a good look at it. Maybe after seeing the old lady, she will feel more at ease with me. If something good happens, she will also think about me. In front of the old lady, I will definitely not be able to compare with the old lady’s own son, but
If I behave well and reassure the old lady, will the old lady not consider me? I also said before that you are here today because of the old lady's care."
Another thing is that Mrs. Yao San herself said that Dong Ling was the old lady's "eye liner". No one knows whether it is true or not.
But Shi Wan didn't say this.
Although she is on Mr. Yao's side now, she doesn't want to be the villain until there is a real conflict between Mr. Yao and Mrs. Yao.
It would be bad if she didn't take it seriously and ended up opening old accounts and putting it on her head.
Poor Mrs. Yao San, after the letter was sent, not only did she not get the support of Mr. Yao San, but she became one of Shi Wan's tools for ascending to power.
What she didn't know even more was that from the moment she decided not to follow Mr. Yao when he took office, she and Mr. Yao were destined to go further and further apart.
She thought that she would be able to secure her position as Mrs. Yao San after having a son, but she never thought...
Before his son grew up, the real master of Sanfang was Master Yao.
Of course, all this is a story later.
The reality is that as soon as Mrs. Yao San wrote the letter, someone stabbed Gu Qingling in the back and let her know that Mrs. Yao San was talking "bad things" about her.
Gu Qingling was really speechless.
Although the maid of the Dong generation did come out of the lower house, but Dong Ling stayed with Mrs. Yao San for so long that Mrs. Yao San couldn't tell the difference between friend and foe. Isn't this a bit useless?
The fact is that Dong Ling is really not Gu Qingling's person.
The maid arranged by Gu Qingling was so discreet that only a few people knew about it, but few people could tell.
She didn't want to do anything by arranging this maid, she just wanted to find out the movements of the third room and prevent the third room from holding her back.
If Sanfang had the ability to fly, she wouldn't mind helping him, but if it was the latter, she would "fold" Sanfang's wings in advance.
