Chapter 203 Kindness
Bai Sui'an thought that such people either grew up in the villa and received unified training, or had stayed here for several years and were familiar with the environment.
"All seven of you?"
Ah Qing nodded.
All seven of them were like this.
This preparation was too hasty...
Counting the days, it doesn't seem to be too rushed.
It should have been prepared when she asked Ye Lingche to have someone deliver the medicine to the palace.
Bai Sui'an didn't know whether to say that Ye Zihu had foresight or that he was cunning.
"Who brought you here? Did they just tell you to come and help me?"
Ah Qing said, "Madam asked us to come here. She said the Second Young Lady has no servants around her, so we will follow you from now on."
And in the future?
Younger children always like to talk more. After chatting for a while and seeing that Bai Sui'an had a good temper, Ah Qing said a few more words on his own:
"It was the eldest lady who always helped my family, so my mother was able to raise me safely. My father had many enemies when he was alive, and after he passed away, many enemies came to seek revenge. To protect my mother, I have practiced martial arts since I can remember. The eldest lady said that I am much more talented than her, and maybe I can deal with all the enemies by myself!"
A smile naturally appeared on her face when she talked about Xu Jiarui, and it seemed that she had many good memories of her before.
"Go out first, I want to sleep." Bai Sui'an asked him to leave.
Ah Qing nodded, and before leaving, she reminded him, "Miss, remember to drink your tea while it's hot. The other sisters and I will take turns guarding outside, so you can rest assured and have a good rest."
After the people left, Bai Sui'an opened the lid of the teapot and the tea smelled delicious.
It was still warm. Bai Sui'an drank a cup. It had a light taste and a little sweetness, just ordinary flower tea.
Strangely enough, after listening to Ah Qing's words, Bai Sui'an inexplicably thought of a loving mother packing bags for her daughter who had been away from home for a long time while drinking the tea.
In fact, this tea was specially prepared because he was afraid that his daughter would miss home.
"Why are you so sentimental?" Bai Sui'an muttered.
She had been busy traveling for the past few days and was so exhausted that she had no time to think about home. Now it was her turn to miss home.
I don’t know whether Ye Lingche and the others have set out on the journey back to the imperial city. The people left behind by Ye Zihu should be able to protect them.
They could eat and drink in their own courtyard. Su Xia asked Bai Sui'an to find the servants if he had any problems, and also asked Bai Sui'an not to look for them too much.
The banquet is tomorrow, and Su Xia asked someone to send Bai Sui'an a new dress. It is an elegant light blue color, and both the fabric and workmanship are top-notch.
Bai Sui'an tried it on and found it surprisingly fit her perfectly. She didn't know how Su Xia knew her size.
The dress was carefully designed, with many hidden layers reserved in advance for Bai Sui'an to hide weapons.
The bottom of the box containing clothes was very high. Bai Suian tapped the bottom of the box with his knuckles and judged from the sound that there was another layer inside.
Bai Sui'an was the only one in the room. She conjured up a small knife and lifted up the bottom of the box.
I realized that Su Xia had already sent all the weapons over, all of which were small and sharp.
It fits perfectly in the dark layer of the dress.
There was even a packet of medicine with a note next to it - "Mix the powder with water and apply it to the blade of a knife. A scratch can be fatal."
This is everything ready.
Bai Sui'an accepted everything, but she had space and was used to traveling light, so the dark layer on her dress was of no use.
But we can follow suit and let the seven girls sew a temporary layer on the clothes they will wear tomorrow.
Instead of reaching for a weapon in a hurry when something happens, it is better to use a weapon close to you.
As a result, among the seven girls, only Ah Cheng knew some needlework.
The eight heads in the yard gathered in a circle, staring at Ah Cheng as he clumsily grasped the needle and sewed the cloth of similar colors together. However, the crooked lines were too conspicuous to be hidden at all.
Ah Zi scratched her ear, glanced at Bai Sui'an, and then whispered, "Isn't this too conspicuous? Outsiders can see at a glance that there is a pocket inside."
Ah Cheng had no other options: "I've only patched holes in clothes before, and I don't know how to embroider."
Bai Sui'an herself didn't know how to embroider, so she had no choice but to take the seven girls with her to find servants in the villa who knew how to embroider for help.
She was leading the way, with seven girls following behind her in a row. After only one day together, they started chattering.
The eldest one is only two years older than Bai Sui'an. She said that she wanted to set a good example, but when the younger sisters around her started to make trouble, she couldn't help but join in the fun.
Bai Sui'an suddenly felt that she had become a higher generation and the grandmother of the seven gourd brothers.
They asked a sweeping aunt to help embroider the clothes. The seven girls knew that Bai Sui'an didn't like to chat with them too much, so they gathered together and chatted by themselves.
Bai Sui'an sat with her aunt and watched her embroider.
Everything that happens in the villa is passed on by word of mouth, and the speed of transmission is extremely fast, so the old people working in the villa have already heard some things about Bai Sui'an.
"Second Miss, you just happened to marry your uncle's younger brother. You were already close to our family, and now you are even closer." The aunt had a kind face, and like the other servants in the mansion, she was quite satisfied with Bai Sui'an.
"Yeah." Bai Sui'an responded lightly, pretending to be leisurely looking at the surrounding mountains and rivers.
The aunt did not blame Bai Sui'an for being cold. She continued, "Second Miss, you have done a favor to our family. Everyone here is eager to treat you well. I hope you will not be scared."
Bai Sui'an followed up her question and asked, "I have no contact with the villa, so how can I be indebted to you?"
"Many years ago, the young lady and her husband came back to visit their family. Something happened on the way. The husband risked his life to let the young lady escape with the young master. However, there were still many assassins on the road who wanted to kill the young lady and her husband."
As his aunt told the story, Bai Sui'an also understood some of the things that happened before.
It turned out that it was Xu Hongxiu who suggested that Ye Lingche hide his identity and live outside with his three children, and by the way, find the whereabouts of Ye Lingchi.
Xu Jiarui, on the other hand, created the illusion of being murdered, claiming that her three children were lost and that she was pretending to be sick in the villa. However, there was no news from the outside world about Ye Lingche and the children, and Ye Lingchi's life or death was unknown.
In less than a year, Xu Jiarui's mental state began to deteriorate. The eldest lady who usually cared for her servants became crazy and everyone was worried about Xu Jiarui.
Until the news came from Qianheng Kingdom that Ye Lingchi had been rescued.
Xu Jiarui was not so dazed.
"The young lady is so grateful to you now that she knows you've taken good care of the young masters and saved her son-in-law. In order to be reunited soon, the young lady has been obediently following the doctor's advice and taking good care of herself. The doctor had previously said that the young lady wouldn't last a few months. Thanks to you, the second young lady, the young lady can continue to live!"
Bai Sui'an lowered his eyes and looked at his toes, unable to describe the feeling.
She had met Xu Jiarui on the day of her wedding. She seemed cheerful and happy. She never expected that she had almost died not long ago.
"I just did what I wanted to do, it just happened."
Bai Sui'an acted indifferent, but when the aunt beside her turned her head, she happened to see the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
I understood what Bai Sui'an's personality was like.
She also curled her lips and smiled, saying that the job at Mingyue Villa was easy. The masters in the family all had different tempers, but they all had good hearts. If she worked for a few more years, she could even retire in this villa.
