"Mrs. Lao Jing is worried about her pregnancy. My Yao'er has hired a new female teacher to teach arithmetic these days, but we really can't spare any time."

"I have long heard that Miss Qi is a good manager of the housekeeper. Today, with my wife's personal testimony, I know that what she said is true."

Mrs. Zhao sighed as she spoke, seeming to be very sorry.

"Speaking of which, my brother Yu saved Miss Qi before. It's just a pity that when Miss Qi came last time, Brother Yu wasn't here. Today, Brother Yu will come soon, but she didn't come again. It’s another miss.”

She seemed to really feel that it was a pity, but Mrs. Qi felt that she had been slapped in the face by Zhao again.

Why did Qi Lingyao and her come to Jing Mansion last time? Wasn't it just for Jing Yu? Now it's better to make a wedding dress for someone else.

Mrs. Qi straightened her face and snorted coldly, "Mrs. Jing, my Yao'er is just sincerely grateful for Mr. Xiao Jing's help. The gift was delivered last time, and the matter is settled. Is there anything that is a pity or a pity? Can you Don’t talk nonsense.”

As she spoke, she pointed at Qi Lingying again, "Fortunately, my sixth wife is generous, otherwise, your words would have made her worry too much."

The two of them fought like black-eyed chickens, but in the end all the damage fell on Qi Lingying.

Qianxue felt like her breathing was about to stop. These official ladies all spoke with a hidden edge. Who knew what words they said were inappropriate and offended someone.

She raised her head cautiously and glanced in Qi Lingying's direction.

Qi Lingying had an upright posture and a gentle and polite smile. She even nodded from time to time in response to the words of everyone on the court. She seemed not to be affected by the words of the first two ladies at all.

Qianxue couldn't help but think about it again in her mind. The young master asked her to go on his behalf yesterday. Did he also want her to protect Miss Qi Liu?

However, Qianxue felt that the young master should understand that she had always been a stupid person, and if she really wanted to get involved, she might even be a disservice to Miss Qi Liu.

Qianxue couldn't help but twist her handkerchief with her fingers and fell into her own thoughts.

The topic in this room suddenly turned from Qi Liu to himself for some reason.

"Speaking of which, I forgot to introduce this girl Qianxue to Mrs. Qi and Miss Six."

As soon as Qianxue heard her name being called, she sat upright with excitement and glanced at Zhao timidly.

Zhao's eyes were filled with the pleasure of watching a play, and her tone was a bit gloating.

"This girl used to serve me. However, things are different now. She is now liked by my brother Yu. He takes her with him wherever he goes. He feels so distressed that his eyes are full of pain."

Mrs. Zhao smiled and glanced at Mrs. Qi and Qi Lingying.

Mrs. Qi's expression was indifferent and she didn't seem to care about this matter.

Qi Lingying looked at Qian Xue first, and then raised her head to glance at Zhao. She smiled lightly and nodded to Zhao.

Zhao didn't understand for a moment. Is this sixth girl thanking herself?

Qianxue didn't know the undercurrent surging over there, she just felt that she was very panicked now, but in just one sentence, Zhao pulled her into the center of the topic and put her on the fire.

Her mind is blank now and she doesn't know what she wants back.

She stumbled and said, "It's because the young master is kind-hearted, and this slave girl..."

Before she finished speaking, she heard an "Oops" sound, followed by Mrs. Qi's scolding: "Why can't you even hold a cup of tea!"

Then Qi Lingying and Qing Lingling's voice rang out: "Mom, calm down, Lingying is useless." Seeing Madam Qi's furious look, Mrs. Zhao felt a rare kindness.

"The water is a bit scalding. I wonder if Miss Six is ​​scalded? Even if she's not, it's not good to wear wet clothes in such a cold weather."

While Zhao was comforting Qi Lingying, she looked at Qianxue's location intentionally or unintentionally.

Qi Lingying stood up and saluted Mrs. Zhao, "Thank you madam for your concern. Can you allow me to change my clothes?"

Mrs. Zhao glanced at Mrs. Qi, who had an unhappy expression, with some pride, and said with a hint of pride in her tone, "Of course."

After she agreed, she did not arrange for Qi Lingying to go to the yards of other girls in the house to find suitable clothes. Instead, the old god was watching all this, and her attitude of looking down on Qi Lingying was clear.

Qi Lingying did not lose her composure because of this humiliation. Instead, she lowered her head obediently and said softly: "It's my junior's fault. I can't trouble my wife."

She looked at Qian Xue with a natural expression and a slight smile on her lips, "Miss Qian is similar in stature to this junior, so I can borrow one from her room."

Mrs. Zhao leaned back in her chair contentedly. This Qi Liu seemed to be a well-informed person.

A concubine of the Qi family who was not taken seriously would be tied to the scourge Jing Yu in the future.

So, in the eyes of her, the mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion, her status is not much different from that of a child born in a family like Qianxue.

If Qi Lingying wanted to take the opportunity to sneak into her daughter's room in an attempt to get close to her future sister-in-law, she wouldn't mind tearing off Mrs. Qi's face and stepping on her as well.

Zhao's voice softened a little, "Since Miss Six has her own idea, I agree."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Qian Xue, "It's a good time to serve Miss Qi Liu."

Qianxue couldn't help but tremble. Although Zhao's words were brief, they still felt oppressive to her.

"Miss Qi Liu, please come with me."

Qianxue hurriedly took a few steps forward to guide Qi Lingying. After they walked out of Zhao's courtyard, Qi Lingying whispered a few words to Sizhu.

Sizhu left quickly, leaving only Qian Xue and Qi Lingying walking towards Jing Yu's yard one after the other.

Qianxue didn't know what to say, so she just kept her head buried and hurried on, thinking about what kind of clothes she could give Qi Lingying later so as not to insult Qi Lingying's status as an official lady.

Qi Lingying suddenly called her out: "Miss Qian, I'm really sorry about what happened to Qi's house a few days ago."

Qianxue didn't realize what Qi Lingying was saying for a moment, but she still stopped and looked back at her out of courtesy.

Qi Lingying smiled and walked a few steps quickly to Qian Xue's side, "I think Mr. Jing should have analyzed the situation inside Qi Mansion with you. The girl has power behind her, and I was just taking advantage of it to protect myself that day, and no harm was done. I hope the girl doesn’t misunderstand what she means.”

Qi Lingying said that she also blessed Qianxue, which frightened Qianxue. How could a master salute a slave?

She replied in a panic: "The sixth lady and the young master have their own plans. I just obey the master's orders and don't dare to say any words of resentment."

Qi Lingying stood face to face with her, and then held her hands.

There was clearly a beauty with a cold temperament in front of her, but her instinct was screaming to escape crazily. It was the fear of a weak herbivore facing a predator.

Qian Xue tightened her body and wanted to take back her hands, but was intimidated by Qi Lingying's momentum and did not dare to move.
