This return to the Capital City, besides bringing back Cui Hu, also brought back a ng Lang.
Cui Hu was assigned to the courtyard next to Chen Long.
But ng Lang could only squeeze in with Yu Zichuan.
Especially after learning that Yu Li also had his own little courtyard at the Governor Mansion, he felt unbalanced.
He hugged his bundle and went to Steward Cen: "I am the young madam’s brother in your household."
Steward Cen said, "I know, you look quite alike."
ng Lang said, "Then shouldn’t you treat better? For example, give a larger courtyard to live in?"
Steward Cen looked him up and down, and replied indifferently, "In the Governor Mansion, status is given by the young madam."
ng Lang asked, "What do you an by that? She doesn’t let you give a courtyard?"
Steward Cen replied casually, "The young madam doesn’t have the ti to look after you. You see... you don’t appear to be favored."
ng Lang was dumbfounded: "Are you people in the Capital City really that snobbish?"
Steward Cen unapologetically: "Yes."
Without even considering what he’s up to.
As the chief steward under the Great Traitor’s command, he was a master of currying favor with the powerful, oppressing the weak, and snobbery!
ng Qianqian, Tan’er, Ban Xia, Qing Shuang, and Treasure Piggy returned to the main courtyard.
Nanny Wan was listlessly sweeping the courtyard.
Nanny Hu sat at the entrance of the kitchen, helping Lady Du pick green beans.
Nanny Hu sniffed the air: "Seems like sothing’s burning in the pot."
Lady Du sighed: "Let it burn, no one eats it anyway. It’s been months, our courtyard is so quiet even the birds won’t co. When the Grand Commander and young madam left, I thought to myself, with less work and about the sa pay, won’t it be more leisurely and pleasant? But now, I’m bored to death!"
Nanny Hu also sighed heavily: "Who isn’t?"
Back at the Lu Family, every day there was a longing for laziness.
Now that there’s truly no work to be done, it feels uncomfortable.
Nanny Wan hung her head dispiritedly: "It’s not that there’s no work, it’s that the soul is gone."
When the young madam was around, the courtyard was so lively.
"They’ve been gone for so long, who knows what’s happened, when on earth are they coming back."
In the room, Nanny Li, who was keeping the accounts, heard their long sighs, and how could she not miss the young lady?
This ti, the young lady had been away longer than the ti she went to the border.
Though she had taken Tan’er and also brought along Ban Xia.
But she, in her heart, couldn’t let go.
"Li——Nanny——"
"Wan——Nanny——"
"Hu——Nanny——"
"Du——Lady——"
"Uh——I——am——back——"
Tan’er’s crisp and loud voice, like a crack of thunder, burst above everyone’s heads.
The account book in Nanny Li’s hand fell.
The green beans in front of Nanny Hu and Lady Du spilled over.
Nanny Wan threw the broom, rushing towards the courtyard gate like a gust of wind with great power.
Never in this life had she been so mighty!
"Tan’er!"
She pushed open the courtyard gate, "Eh? Where is she?"
Tan’er, pressed into the wall, said lifelessly: "Since when does this door open outward?"
Nanny Wan trembled with panic, scratching her head quickly: "Oh dear, it opens inside, I got so excited, I forgot!"
Oh no, she broke a door, she’ll have to pay!
"Such great strength..."
Tan’er slid down from the wall, burying her head in the dirt.
"Tan’er, Tan’er!"
Nanny Wan quickly pushed the door back, circled to the wall, crouched down and nervously asked, "Are you... are you alright? Did you get hurt? Do you need..."
"No need."
Tan’er lifted her head abruptly, stood up expressionlessly, and dusted off the dirt on her clothes.
Nanny Wan hesitantly asked: "Really no problem?"
Tan’er said confidently: "What’s the problem for ? Just a bump, no big deal!"
Nanny Wan let out a long sigh of relief, then began to scrutinize Tan’er.
You don’t know until you look, and a look gave quite a fright.
Tan’er put her hands on her hips: "What now?"
Nanny Wan asked incredulously: "How co you’re tanned darker than a pot bottom?"
"Hmph!"
Tan’er rolled her eyes skyward.
"Where’s Tan’er?"
Lady Du, pulling Nanny Hu, rushed out the door, walking right past Tan’er who blended in with the night without noticing her.
Taner’s already dark face grew blacker: "I’m here..."
From a distance, Ban Xia saw this scene and couldn’t stop laughing.
As she got closer, she said to Tan’er: "I warned you not to ride horses all the ti, but you wouldn’t listen."
Tan’er declared: "I just want to ride!"
The people saw ng Qianqian and excitedly went up to greet her: "Young Madam!"
Originally, they called her Miss, but under Liu Qingyun’s financial persuasion, the title gradually changed, which was very lacking in backbone.
ng Qianqian didn’t mind.
A title, after all, still referred to her.
Besides, Young Madam sounded nice.
Treasure Piggy fell asleep in the carriage, leaning on Qing Shuang’s arms, didn’t even wake up when pinched by Nanny Wan and others.
They entered the courtyard.
Nanny Wan and Nanny Hu took over the bundles from Ban Xia and Qing Shuang.
Only then did Lady Du rember whatever was burning in her pot, and she rushed to the kitchen.
Nanny Li walked down the stairs, but because she was so excited, she almost missed a step.
Tan’er flashed over and supported her: "Be careful, Nanny Li!"
Nanny Li nodded with tears in her eyes, her gaze swept over ng Qianqian and Treasure Piggy, finally landing on ng Qianqian’s slightly sweaty face.
ng Qianqian softly said: "Nanny, I’m back."
Nanny Li wiped her tears: "It’s good to be back... it’s good to be back... hurry into the house..."
Tan’er drooped her head: "So hungry."
Lady Du was flying about in the kitchen: "It’s being cooked!"
Tan’er’s eyes lit up: "I want braised pork!"
"Where is the young master?"
Nanny Li asked.
ng Qianqian replied: "Went to the Princess Mansion to pick up great-grandmother."
Originally, she was going to go too, but Lu Yuan didn’t let her, sent her ho, and then rushed to the Wanping Princess Mansion.
Ban Xia teased: "Nanny misses the young master a lot, huh."
It’s fortunate they were apart for a while, otherwise, Nanny Li wouldn’t have spared Ban Xia with any scolding.
Once inside, Nanny Li ca over and embraced the little fellow who was sleeping soundly.
"Grown quite a bit."
She said lovingly.
", ?"
Tan’er squeezed her little head in front of Nanny Li.
Nanny Li, being a very stern person, was also amused by Tan’er: "You’ve grown taller, and darker, from now on don’t always run outside."
Such a lovely little girl, what has the sun done to her?
Tan’er pouted: "I want to run, the main door can’t stop ."
"Then we’ll watch you."
Ban Xia said.
Tan’er put her hands on her hips: "How are you gonna watch ?"
Ban Xia said: "Let Qing Shuang watch you!"
"Qing Shuang can’t watch !"
"There’s also Yu Zichuan!"
"He can’t watch either!"
The two started quarreling noisily again.
The once forlorn courtyard suddenly ca back to life.
Nanny Li, holding the little fellow in her arms, listened to the bickering of Ban Xia and Tan’er, and looked at ng Qianqian sitting safely in front of her.
An unexpected sense of completeness washed over her.
She sighed with emotion: "As a servant, I’ve seen everything I longed to see in my life, and I have no other desires."
ng Qianqian smiled in silence, simply pulled her hand over, and softly placed it on her own belly.
Nanny Li was completely stunned.
