Since the Chu Mansion restored its status as an imperial merchant, it has recruited back its servants who had been dismissed.
Seeing Chu Jiaoli, everyone couldn't help but cover their mouths and whisper.
"The third lady is back."
"You look so nice in your clothes. Are you really a servant..."
"How can the maid next to His Royal Highness be compared to us? She has already flown to the branches and become a phoenix!"
Chu Jiaoli glanced at the people who were talking, and said to the housekeeper behind her: "Is it time for the Chu Mansion to change a group of servants? They are all good at eating and lazy, but they are still the same as before, with no rules and regulations.
"
Hearing this, the old butler immediately said with a smile: "It's the old slave who has failed to discipline me well. Third Miss, please forgive me." He immediately frowned and glared at the group of servants and said, "Are you blind? When you see Third Miss, why are you still here?
No courtesy!"
The servant immediately lowered his head to Chu Jiaoli and saluted: "Third Miss."
Chu Jiaoli narrowed her peach blossom eyes slightly, she had never received such courtesy since the Yang family entered the mansion.
It was just because the carriage she was riding in was engraved with the logo of the Prince's Palace.
She gently raised the corners of her lips and walked towards the hall.
Before she even stepped through the door, the old housekeeper rushed in front of her and said to Chu Jingmao inside: "Master! The third lady is back!"
"Li'er is back! It's so rare!" Chu Jingmao immediately put down the tea cup in his hand and stood up to greet him with a smile.
With a "pop" sound, a tea cup in the room fell to the ground.
Chu Jingmao looked back, frowned and said, "Ping'er, why are you so careless? Your third sister is back, why don't you come and greet her soon?"
When Chu Jiaoping saw a light blue figure at the door, her face suddenly turned pale.
Since her last attempt to murder Chu Jiaoli failed, she heard about the tragic death of Concubine Ling, the mastermind in the palace. Until now, there has been no movement in the Chu Mansion. She thinks about it day by day and is afraid every night!
If Chu Jiaoli knew that it was the sister who had bullied her all year round who was behind her plot, and relying on the huge strength behind her, wouldn't she be cut to pieces?!
She swallowed nervously and stood up shakily.
Chu Jiaoli showed a smile that didn't reach her eyes at Chu Jingmao, and said, "Dad, I have taken some time out these days to come here to see you." She glanced at Chu Jiaoping, who was trembling, and said with a smile, "Two
How is sister doing lately? Li'er has a lot to say to her second sister."
Chu Jiaoping swallowed her saliva, forced a smile, and said: "It's pretty good."
Chu Jingmao smiled and said: "In that case, you guys go down and have a good chat." After saying that, he turned around and whispered seriously in Chu Jiaoping's ear, "Ping'er, Li'er is different from the past now. Since she has ignored her past grudges,
, you should stop being angry with her and get along well with her, it’s best to get some benefits, got it?”
She didn't tell anyone about that matter, and even Chu Jingmao didn't know about it at the moment.
She pursed her lips and whispered: "I know..."
A quarter of an hour later.
Chu Jiaoping's boudoir was eerily quiet.
Chu Jiaoping's eyes were a little dodgey and she never dared to look at her.
Chu Jiaoli raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "What's wrong with the second sister? Are you feeling unwell? Her face seems a little ugly."
Chu Jiaoping shook her head and said with a smile: "What does the third sister want to talk to me about?"
Chu Jiaoli raised the corners of her lips slightly and said: "Li'er knows that my sister loves lotus dew tea the most. The rose garden in the Prince's Mansion has been in bloom recently, so I picked some rose dew to make tea. When I first smelled it, Li'er felt...
I tasted it once because of the novelty, and the taste was really pleasant. I thought my sister must have never drank it before, so I asked Your Highness to get some and bring it to my sister to taste." She tilted her head slightly and said to Feng'er behind her: "Feng'er,
Go make tea quickly."
After hearing this, Feng'er responded and walked to the tea room.
Chu Jiaoping said with a smile: "The third sister is really thoughtful. In the past, the second sister was ignorant and did a lot of things that hurt her. Now that I think about it, I feel really ashamed."
Chu Jiaoli raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "What did the second sister say? These things have already passed, haven't they?"
Chu Jiaoping had a smile on her face, but she already had a chill down her spine, and some beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. She reached under the table and pulled the sleeve of the maid behind her, wanting to take her out to find Mrs. Yang.
The maid Yu'er quickly understood and was about to take a step to the side, but Chu Jiaoli stared at her and said: "Yu'er, you have worked hard to take care of your second sister for many years. I heard that Concubine Ling often rewarded her subordinates to drink with her.
Tea, just in time, I also brought some extra rose water, so you can drink tea with us."
Yu'er bowed to Chu Jiaoli, lowered her head, and frowned anxiously: "Third Miss, the time has come. Madam has asked the slave to go out and do some errands. If you don't go, Madam should be blamed."
Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli chuckled lightly and said, "It doesn't matter, I won't miss it for a while. I'll go talk to Madam later."
"But..." Yu'er wanted to say something more, but as soon as she raised her eyes, she saw Chu Jiaoli's oppressive eyes, so she could only respond in a low voice, "Yes, I obey my order."
Chu Jiaoping bit her lip tightly, her expression gradually becoming anxious.
After thinking quickly for a while, she stood up and said, "By the way, third sister, I recently went to Linglong Pavilion to pick out some beautiful hairpins. I'll go to the back room and show them to you."
As soon as she finished speaking, she walked around Chu Jiaoli towards the dressing table. Her fingertips ran along the cakes on the table and knocked them on Chu Jiaoli's body.
She pretended to be surprised and opened her eyes wide, frowning and said: "I'm so sorry, Third Sister! I really didn't mean it!"
There was a hint of a successful smile in her eyes, she frowned and said to Yu'er: "Yu'er, take the third lady to the back room to take care of her clothes!"
"Yes." Yu'er nodded and said to Chu Jiaoli, "Miss Third, please come with me."
Chu Jiaoli frowned slightly, glanced at the tea room, nodded, and then followed Yu'er into the back room.
Chu Jiaoping swallowed her saliva and quickly walked to the tea room. When she saw the scene in front of her, her pupils shrank in an instant.
Feng'er had his back to her, taking out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve, opening it, and poured the pills into a teacup.
She glanced over and saw a figure beside her. She was frightened and turned around. When she saw Chu Jiaoping with wide eyes, her legs felt weak.
What a coincidence that she saw him!
Chu Jiaoping hurriedly took out a large ingot of silver from her arms, walked quickly to her, put it in her hand, and whispered: "I can give you more money, you come to Chu Mansion, I can stay
You're better! Please don't hurt me!"
Feng'er felt the heavy silver ingot in her hand and couldn't help but swallow her saliva. She still couldn't hide the panic in her heart and didn't speak for a long time.
Seeing this, Chu Jiaoping immediately took out another ingot of silver from her arms and said: "As long as you help me, I will give you whatever you want!"
Hearing this, Feng'er's heart skipped a beat and she gritted her teeth in agreement.
She already hated Chu Jiaoli to the core, and this was a great opportunity. If she was poisoned to death, she would never have to take orders from her again!
