The Master and Servant's Nightly Conversation

  The Mid-Autumn dinner party went smoothly after a small disturbance at the beginning.

  Qing Luan returned to her own courtyard, and the one leading Xiao Ya Tou at the gate was unexpectedly Gu Yu, she didn't expect her to come out of her room, it's unknown whether she had enough or had another purpose.

  "The girl is back." Gu Yu smiled and walked forward to greet her, completely ignoring the previous laziness.

  Qing Luan didn't say anything either, she had to wait for the other party to make a move, so that she could see through their tricks and reveal the truth at the same time.

  "Miss, honey water." Gu Yu had learned his lesson and knew that at today's family banquet, even Qing Luan couldn't avoid drinking a few cups of honey wine, so he had someone prepare honey water early on.

  The warm taste was extremely comfortable when it entered the abdomen. Qing Luan slightly narrowed her eyes, and only then did she give Yu Yu a smile of approval.

  Valley rain was pleased with herself. After all, over the years, the girl had always liked her more than Xia Zhi. She didn't believe that Xia Zhi, a blockhead, could be better than her.

  Valley rain is waiting here, and Xia Zhi will naturally not come forward to rob her, but instead went into the inner house to make a bed for Qing Luan.

  After washing up, Qing Luan got into bed. Xia Zhi only spread out her own bedding on the bed board then, and it was usually the place for keeping watch at night. However, because of what had happened before, Qing Luan often had nightmares, so Xia Zhi was afraid that she would sleep to death outside. For this entire month, whenever it was her turn to keep watch, she always slept on the bed board.

  Qing Luan saw it in her eyes, a flash of emotion crossed her mind, this little girl wholeheartedly thought for her, and because of this she should trust others once again.

  "Are you going to sleep, miss?"

  "Leave a lamp on, you lie down too, let's have a chat."

  "Yes." Qing Luan responded with a single word and left behind a bedside lamp.

  "Summer solstice, if I'm not mistaken, you should be a born child, are there any other people in your family?" There were really too few people around her who could be used. Her previous self had never doubted it before, but only now did she realize that after Li took over the household, the old people in the Weiyuan Marquis's residence had been replaced without her knowledge, and she didn't even know where those people had been transferred to. In short, she was too muddled-headed, and this situation needed to be changed somehow.

  "I have an older brother who is now working in a stable, and both Father and Mother are at our rural villa."

  "How old is your brother this year?"

  "I'm eighteen now."

  The master and servant were chatting away in a somewhat disconnected manner.

  "It's summer solstice, I don't know your brother, there is something here that needs to be done, but the people I can trust are really too few, so I don't know if your brother will do it successfully."

  "I don't know what you want to do, Miss, and I can't make promises on my brother's behalf, but I can guarantee that whatever you instruct, my brother will definitely try his best to accomplish."

  "Alright." With these words from Xia Zhi, a smile gradually appeared in Qing Luan's eyes. "Tomorrow, you will take out 50 taels of silver from my private storage and give it to your brother, then..."

  The night had gradually deepened, and the gentle conversation continued.

  On the other hand, Wei Yanhuai and Li returned to Xuanweidang. Because they were scolded by Wei Yanyi at the beginning of the dinner, Li's Mid-Autumn Festival dinner can be said to have eaten a bellyful of anger. As soon as they returned to their room, they fell on their face.

  Wei's mother saw this and quickly let those little maids retreat.

  "Madam, sir, have some tea first." Wei's nanny personally handed the teacups to the two of them, and then retreated following Wei Yanhua's gaze.
