Zhao could still put on a show in front of other people, but she didn't like Qian Xue at all, so she didn't even have the intention of pretending for a while and directly stated her thoughts.

"If I hadn't seen you serving me before, I wouldn't be willing to give you advice. Even if Brother Yu gives you a status when the daughter of the Qi family comes in, it won't be too high. Of course it's hard for Miss Qi to deal with you now, but , what happens after entering the house? It is unrealistic to rely on husbands to protect you for the rest of your life."

Qianxue now completely understood what Zhao meant.

She felt that Jing Yu was unreliable and asked her to quickly find another supporter before she was abandoned.

Qianxue looked up at Mrs. Zhao and saw that her eyebrows were full of pride, and the look she was looking at was full of arrogance and charity.

It seems that Zhao's so-called new backer is Zhao herself.

Qianxue pinched the handkerchief in her hand, tightening it and loosening it. Her mood was very complicated, but she was not in a hurry to agree.

Zhao, who has a higher eye than anyone else, is willing to demean himself to win her over. It seems that Jing Yu may be promoted to an important position this time.

Qianxue no longer looked at Zhao, lowered her head and carefully considered what she knew about the entire Jing Mansion.

The Jing family has been clean for generations, but because of Mr. Jing’s misdeeds, the entire Jing family fell silent for a period of time. Later, with the support of the original wife’s natal family, Jing Xiang joined the team in advance, and then he became famous again, and gradually became an official. Worship the prime minister.

The young masters in the house have very different careers.

The third young master, Jing Ke, is a free-spirited man. At a young age, he has been addicted to wallowing in makeup and powder. He has no thoughts on fame and fame. In the future, he will probably rely on the shadow of the Prime Minister's mansion to become a dandy waiting to die.

The second young master, Jing Xuan, followed Jing Xiang and followed the path of civil servants. He was chosen as a flower hunter at a young age. Under Jing Xiang's blessing, his journey was smooth. However, with the rise of Jing Yu in recent years, his career has gradually deteriorated. Became invisible.

The eldest young master Jing Yu, unlike the two brothers, did not rely on the power of the prime minister at all. Instead, he defected to the military camp alone. With his hard work with real swords and guns, he won the appreciation of the fourth prince who was also depressed at the time.

After that, he worked step by step and fought his way back to the imperial capital step by step with a strength that could not be ignored. Not to mention the second young master, he now had the intention of intimidating the scene.

Qianxue took stock of the situation and looked up at Mrs. Zhao again. She raised a decent smile and said softly: "I am no more than a mere servant. To be appreciated by the eldest young master has already exhausted all my blessings. I can't help it." Don’t you dare ask for anything else.”

Her words were very tactful, but how could an official wife like Zhao not understand the underlying meaning?

Isn't it because Qian Xue doesn't want to find a supporter anymore? Even if Jing Yu abandons her in the future, she will have no regrets.

On the one hand, Qianxue is expressing her position, but on the other hand, she is actually a bit unrealistic.

If she angered Mr. Zhao because of her lack of appreciation, it would not be a bad thing to just kick her out of the house now.

Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but frown when she heard Qian Xue's words. Seeing this, Aunt Zhao quickly stepped forward and began to chatter.

"Qianxue, your identity is different now. You can no longer look at the current situation with your previous thoughts."

Aunt Zhao smiled and stepped forward to pat Qian Xue on the shoulder, "When you go to higher places, don't be too stubborn. Madam only gave you a heads up because of the dedication you have given me over the years. Others But you can’t get it even if you ask for it.”

Qianxue did not respond, but continued to listen silently with her head lowered.

Everyone in Zhao's courtyard knows that Qianxue is a dull gourd. Usually when she doesn't speak, she is mostly dissatisfied, but she does get things done.

However, this matter is not a trivial matter now, and Ms. Zhao naturally wants a positive answer. Aunt Zhao thought for a while and then spoke again, "Qianxue, you are favored now, but your appearance and youth are fleeting. How many years can you rely on these to keep the young master? When the young master fully understands the feeling, There are so many places for him to have fun outside, how can he still remember who you are?"

As Aunt Zhao spoke, her eyes lightly glanced at Nong Qin and Zhishu.

"When it comes to going back to the house, with Madam's support, it is naturally a hundred times easier than others. If you know the truth, Madam will be willing to consider it for you, but if you don't, Madam will not only have your choice."

Qianxue followed Aunt Zhao's gaze and glanced at Nongqin and Zhishu. They were all a little panicked when they looked at Aunt Zhao. However, when they saw Qianxue's current attire, they couldn't help but reveal a trace of it in their eyes. yearn for.

After more than ten years of companionship, how could she not understand what Nongqin and Zhishu were yearning for?

In the eyes of all the maids in the Jing Mansion, she is probably living a fairy life now.

Dressed in good materials and fashionable jewelry, she enjoys exclusive pampering in the clean backyard of the eldest young master's courtyard, and everyone in the house sees it, with the eldest young master's unabashed protection.

There are quite a few couples with Jing Ke, but who can match Qian Xue’s style?

Only Qianxue herself understands the pain, others will not understand at all, they can only see the glamor on the surface.

Qianxue pursed her lips and pretended not to understand what Aunt Zhao and Mrs. Zhao were implying.

"My slave, thank you madam and grandma for your guidance. I will serve the young master more carefully in the future."

This was considered a statement of her stance. Anyway, she was hanging on Jing Yu's tree, so it would be useless for anyone else to say anything.

Zhao was so angry that her breathing became heavier, but because Jing Yu was in power now, he couldn't do anything to Qian Xue, so he could only glance at Aunt Zhao and ask her to get her away quickly.

After Qianxue was kicked out of the courtyard, Mrs. Zhao slammed the table and cursed angrily: "You ungrateful maid!"

Qianxue breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out her clothes that were wrinkled by Nanny Zhao, and walked towards Jing Yu's courtyard.

She relaxed and naturally walked not too fast. When she was halfway there, she heard someone calling her name.

She turned around and saw Nongqin running over panting.

Qianxue stood there puzzled, while Nongqin stepped on an ice skate because she was running too fast and almost slipped. Fortunately, Qianxue reacted quickly and was able to catch her.

"What's the matter?" Qianxue looked at Nongqin, her eyes full of confusion.

Her relationship with Nong Qin was very normal in Zhao's courtyard. Except for necessary handovers of work, they were basically just acquaintances.

Therefore, she really couldn't figure out why Nongqin came to look for her?

Nongqin took a moment to catch her breath and then looked at Qianxue with a smile, "Axue, I have something to tell you."

Qianxue was not used to being called Nongqin. They had never been so close.

However, Qianxue still tried to keep her voice gentle, "You and I are not outsiders, but it doesn't hurt to talk."

Nongqin looked around at the situation, then pulled Qianxue to a corner and whispered: "My wife came to you specifically today because the master and the wife had a quarrel yesterday. The master complained that the wife has not handled the relationship with the eldest young master well in these years. This makes the eldest young master disagree with Jingfu."
