The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 835 The Housekeeper's Daughter Watching the Young Master's Love (Ancient Times) 6

When Arya came in, there was still red liquid on the ground. Although it had been almost washed away by water, a faint smell of blood could still be smelled.

The air was filled with a suffocating smell, making people feel uneasy and fearful.

"Sister Qiujing!" Erya called out cautiously, but received no response.

She looked around, trying to find Sister Qiu Jing.

At this time, the servants were busy cleaning the blood stains on the ground, with a hint of fear and uneasiness on their faces.

A maid who was slightly older than Erya came over. She looked very tired.

"Erya, go back to your room quickly. The young lady has gone to the lady's yard. She won't be back tonight. Just take care of yourself." The maid said softly, with a bitter tone in her voice.

"What about this snack?" Arya asked worriedly, "I just brought it from the big kitchen. It's still warm!"

She raised the snack in her hand, her eyes full of anticipation.

The maidservant had missed her meal time because she had just watched the execution, and her stomach was growling with hunger.

Under normal circumstances, she might have taken these snacks for granted, but at this moment, she thought of Nanny Yu's miserable condition and her heart was filled with fear.

"Put this snack in the young lady's room. If she doesn't want to eat it, find a way to get rid of it." The maid ordered.

Her name was Xia Cao. She was the oldest and most experienced maid in the yard, but she was only a second-class maid.

It was because Xia Cao was bought in relatively late, and when she entered the yard, the positions of the two senior maids had already been taken by Qiu Jing and Er Ya.

Nanny Yu had intended to let Xia Cao replace Erya from the beginning, so she was reluctant to change Erya's name.

Xia Cao could also sense some of the meaning behind this, so since she entered the courtyard, she had given two-thirds of her monthly salary to "present" Nanny Yu.

Therefore, although she was a second-class maid, her words were still quite influential in this courtyard.

This unknowingly whetted Yu Ma's appetite, and she refused to do anything for Xia Cao.

Now that the matter has come to light, Xia Cao's investment of more than half a year has been wasted, so she feels very bitter.

Xia Cao looked at Erya, feeling an unspeakable emotion in her heart.

Although Erya Sheng could not be blamed for this matter, it was because the other party occupied the position of the head maid and blocked her way.

But nothing she said now was important, because now that this matter with Nanny Yu had happened, it was now a question whether she could continue to stay with the young lady.

Compared to the young lady's courtyard, where everyone spent the night in anxiety, Su Xiangran's family was having a good time.

Because today she has successfully learned a dish taught by her mother Li Niang.

In order to "show off" her skills, Su Xiangran specially "volunteered" to make a steamed fish for her brother who rarely came home.

"It's really good!" Su Cheng ate the fish made by his sister, "Xiao Ran is really amazing."

Su Cheng was appreciated by the master of the Su family, so he did not dare to slack off in his studies and basically seldom went home during the thirty-day holidays every month.

However, even though he didn't come back very often, he still cared about his sister. Every time he came back, he would use the money he earned from copying books to bring some snacks for Su Xiangran.

Over the years, although this era is a bit harsh on girls, Su Xiangran's family has been very kind to her.

Her brother Su Cheng taught her how to read, her mother Li Niang taught her how to cook, and her father Su Wang would buy her some little gadgets from time to time.

Without mentioning anything else, on Su Xiangran's tenth birthday, Su Wang even did a favor and made her a pair of beautiful tassel hairpins, specially for her to comb her hair into double buns.

Although the material is not gold, but silver, the small tassel pendant is jade. Although the material is not the best, the craftsmanship is good.

Having said that, although Su Xiangran is young, the two masters in the mansion, Mr. Su and Madam Su, also like her very much.

Because of this, they deliberately did not take her indenture.

"The maid of Housekeeper Su looks very lucky. There is no need to restrict her with this document." Madam Su looked at Su Xiangran who was in Li Niang's arms just now and said, "What a lovely girl. I wonder if I am lucky enough to have a daughter!"

Less than three months after she said this, Mrs. Su was diagnosed with pregnancy. Later, she gave birth to a lovely daughter as she wished, so she still had a good impression of Su Xiangran.

I always feel that if I am close to her, my dreams will come true.

The reason why Mr. Su likes her is even more direct, because he thinks this little girl brings fortune.

The first time was when he met Su Wang and Su Xiangran buying candied haws during their day off. After the master and servant exchanged a few words, he picked up a purse on the way back home.

Later, something even more exaggerated happened. When he met Su Wang with his child again, he bought an antique.

From then on, Mr. Su believed that Su Xiangran brought good luck to him.

The couple originally planned to buy the person and keep him by their side, but later they gave up the idea after listening to the words of the monk in the temple outside the city.

That's why Mrs. Su said, "There's no need to restrain her with that document."
