"Because Hongmei is the eldest lady's girl, she must be loyal to the eldest lady. The third lady is just a little concubine. Even the master and the old lady don't care about her life. She still wants to go against the eldest lady. She can give Hongmei
What's the matter with Mei? Hongmei just wants to rely on the eldest lady." Hongmei spoke of Su Yueming with a hateful look in her eyes.
After hearing her answer, the eldest lady seemed very satisfied and said, "Don't worry, I won't treat you badly. You are about to leave the house, and I will give you an extra sum of money. Come here and do as I say.
If you want to do it, go back to Su Yueming, pretend that you listened to her, and then..."
Hongmei came closer, and the eldest lady said something in her ear. Hongmei covered her mouth with her hand, with a look of horror on her face, and whispered, "Madam..."
"What, is there a problem?" The eldest lady's eyes darkened and she asked coldly.
"No, no, no, no problem, I know what to do." Hongmei said with a low eyebrow.
"Take this, remember to take it once a day, and let her take it on time." Qin's mother walked up to Hongmei, handed a packet of medicinal powder into Hongmei's hand, squeezed her hand, and ordered. She closed it again.
With her gaze, the eldest lady snatched the hairpin that Hongmei was holding in her hand, stuffed it into her sleeve, and returned to the eldest lady's side as if nothing had happened.
"..." Hongmei dared not speak out in anger, so she had no choice but to take the powder and leave silently.

The old lady suddenly announced that she was going to stay at Jing'an Temple for a few days. Su Ying, Jiang and Liu would accompany her as usual, while the eldest lady stayed in the mansion to take charge of the affairs.
The eldest lady Su Baixi, the second lady Su Qingmo, the third lady Su Yueming and the sixth lady Su Yurong accompanied them.
With two days left, the slaves began to prepare for worshiping Buddha.
The Su family is a large family, and they donate a lot of money to the temple every year. The old lady's name is ranked first in the Merit Society, and every year in the warm season, the old lady will take the female relatives in the house to stay in the temple for a while.
Time, study Buddhism carefully, and the temple will make full preparations in advance to welcome the arrival of Mrs. Su’s family.
Only this time, she advanced the time by two months.
Su Buqing spent three days every month in the eldest lady's Qifu Garden.
The eldest lady was wearing white soft silk, with the bun on the back of her head moved away, and black silk covering her back. She was holding a bowl of ginseng soup in her hand, walked up to Su Buqing, who was reading a book in front of the case, and said softly, "Master
, I cooked this with my own hands, you can try it."
"Yes." Su Buqing never raised his head, only responded lightly, the light shone on his cold cheeks, the eldest lady looked at it, sighed softly, put down the ginseng soup, and prepared to go to bed to rest.
"Madam, is there something on your mind?" Su Buqing heard her sigh, put down the book in his hand, and asked.
"Master, I think of Third Auntie." The eldest lady said with a trace of pity in her eyes, "After all, she has been staying in Jing'an Temple to meditate and repent for thirteen years. In the past two days, I heard that my mother and the others were going to worship Buddha.
Then I thought of her."
The look in Su Buqing's eyes was very cold and she said, "It's okay for you to not want to be a bitch like this."
The eldest lady's eyes moved slightly, but she still had a sad look on her face, "But now Yue Ming has returned to the house, but the third aunt is still outside. I'm just afraid of attracting criticism, which will be detrimental to you, master."
After hearing this, Su Buqing frowned slightly and said, "What Madam said makes some sense."
