She wanted to return to her small room to stay, but the Old Master wouldn’t allow it, saying that his health wasn’t good and he couldn’t go back.
"This... still, go and call for the Old Master, he hasn’t eaten breakfast yet, always drinking only harms the body!"
Aunt Lai behaved as though she was very virtuous, but after the drugging incident, who would think her kind?
The little maids didn’t dare to approach Aunt Lai, nor did they dare to eat anything she had touched.
Aunt Lai saw the little maid obediently go to do as told, then she heard the knocking sound from the small room next door, "bang bang bang," followed by the Old Master’s angry voice:
"Get lost, all this noise is disturbing my sleep, get out! Get out!"
Aunt Lai... why was the Old Master’s temper getting worse and worse?
The wet nurse in the small room, as well as little Ye Daidi, kept quiet, not daring to make any loud noises.
The little maid ran back scared, bowed her head timidly to Aunt Lai, and said, "Aunt Lai, the Old Master is angered, he won’t open the door!"
"Useless thing, I understand." Aunt Lai could only decide to discuss it with the Old Master when he woke up and was ready to eat.
There was so noise over here, Mrs. Li was busy with the account books and she wasn’t the sort to idle away her ti dealing with such trifles.
Mrs. Lai, after several days of recovery, could not rember the events of the past few days, but as her health improved, she started to recall so things.
She couldn’t rember other things, but she rembered Aunt Lai who had tried to steal her husband and brought her misfortune very clearly.
Seeing the little maid coming from that direction, she beckoned her over; the maids took turns caring for the two patients.
"Madam, would you like so water? Or are you hungry?"
Mrs Lai shook her head, "What did Aunt Lai ask you to go wake the Old Master for just now?"
The little maid shook her head, "I don’t know."
Mrs. Lai’s eyes shifted, "What did the child’s two uncles co for?"
"I don’t know, they just talked for a bit and then left!"
The little maid spoke blankly, thinking to herself how everyone ca to her for news, and even if she knew, she wouldn’t dare to say!
"Whenever I ask you sothing, you always say you don’t know, so what exactly did they talk about?"
Mrs. Lai, since falling ill, had beco a bit more restrained in temper, fearing that she might just pass away in a fit of anger and unintentionally give that demon the advantage.
"Madam, I really didn’t know what they talked about when I was working!" insisted the little maid, certain that no one but her master and mistress had ever treated her well here.
The rest of the employers treated their staff with nothing but scolding or disdain.
"Go away, it’s so annoying, you don’t know anything!" Mrs. Lai’s spirit lacked its forr vigor, and after speaking just a few words, she couldn’t bear it anymore.
Mrs. Li suddenly rembered, as they were preparing to travel to Capital City, they couldn’t dress so shabbily; they had to buy better clothes to et the in-laws.
Thinking that it was about that hour, she decided to go to the county tomorrow to prepare, as it was too late to have special clothes made and they would have to buy ready-made ones.
At lunchti, Mrs. Li told the family that they would go to the county together the next day to buy ready-made clothes.
Hongji agreed with a nod, seeing his children’s excitent; busy with the factory, he also needed to find ti to accompany them.
Hongji’s father showed no reaction to their interaction, focused only on his al and his drink.
Mrs. Lai still couldn’t join them for als here; her sick body couldn’t take the sa food as her family.
Aunt Lai had just seen the Old Master enter and called him a few tis without getting a response, which left her angrily chopping her foot.
In the living room, aside from the Old Master who was oblivious to the outside world as he drank, they continued to eat and chat.
"Father, Mother, I want to go too!" Ye Wenjie, too, was a child eager to go out and see new things.
It wasn’t just to see new things, but to enjoy eats and gas outside as well.
Hongji didn’t reject his youngest son, as this ti the whole family was going to Capital City, and naturally they would take the young boy with them.
They couldn’t leave the young son at ho alone – who knew what could happen with the people here?
In the evening, Ye Shiqi got on the horse carriage and went for a round in the three estates, and it seed as though she was just playing, no one objecting to her riding in the carriage.
She had already secretly inford her two uncles that the goods had been placed correctly.
Ever since Ye Shiqi decided to go to Capital City the previous night, she believed that they shouldn’t rely solely on rice cultivation and should grow so wheat in the space.
So, entering the estate, she also conveniently took so wheat seeds from the grain storage, and nobody knew she took anything into the space.
Ye Shiqi found that she could now take things into the space from as far as two hundred ters and up to five hundred ters away at will.
She had also inford the two uncles that she would casually take so grain from the estate’s grain storage, and the cart convoy that her uncles helped assemble was just a smokescreen.
After his niece left, Li Zhijun entered the storage with confusion and found the big jars inside brimming with water.
?? His niece hadn’t entered the storage at all! How did she do it?
