I'm already a concubine, who wants to fight with you?

Chapter 67 Asking for help
Miao also had something to ask Xie Fei, so she said, "My maid seemed to see that bitch Li Die'er walking outside yesterday, and she seemed to be getting better. Did you order someone to treat her?"

Xie Fei said: "Mrs. Li is the master's concubine after all. She is about to rot in bed. Since I am the head of the family, I naturally cannot bear to see her die in vain, so as to avoid the master blaming me in the future."

Miao was furious and couldn't help but said angrily, "She's dead, so what? How can she return to serve the master after killing my son?!"

Xie Fei soothed her, "Sister Miao, you don't have to be angry. I asked the master, and he said that we should let Li Die'er go back to your room to serve you."

After a pause, she hinted, "Now that Li Die'er has returned to your place, she is still your servant. You can use her however you want. Once the door is closed, can outsiders still say anything?"

When Miao heard this, her eyes rolled and she sneered.

Xie Fei clapped his hands again, and Li Die'er limped in with a cup of tea.

Li Die'er used to be a lovely girl, but now there is a whipping scar on her face and her leg is broken by a beating.

They walked in a different way, one tall and one short, which made several people in the hall laugh.

Seeing this, Miao's unhappiness dissipated a lot, but her eyes were still cold. When she looked at Li Die'er, it seemed as if she wanted to cut her into pieces.

Li Die'er arrived in the hall and kowtowed to Xie Fei first, then moved to Miao's side and bowed deeply.

"My dear, I am back to serve you."

In front of everyone, Miao didn't use any force. She just stared at the trembling former maid and said with a fake smile, "How dare I let you serve me? You are my master's concubine. If I order you around, wouldn't that be a slap in my master's face?"

Li Die'er was shaking so hard that her shoulders hunched up. She stammered, "Slave, I dare not. I am your servant and will always be. In this life, no no, in the next life, and in the next life after that, I will serve you!"

Miao stepped on her head and crushed her a few times maliciously to vent her hatred.

Xie Fei saw it but didn't stop him and continued drinking tea.

Li Die'er returned to Miao's room, and the servants said that Li Die'er was finished this time.

In Qiong Yu Garden, Xiao Shirong also heard the sound of the wind, but didn't care much.

Her long, beautiful nails gently teased the parrot in the cage. Xiao Shirong said coldly, "That little concubine is also a selfish person. She knows it's not worth it to offend the favored Miao family for a lowly maid."

Mother Tang said servilely, "She has neither the favor of her master nor your noble status. She can barely save herself, so how can she care about others?"

Xiao Shirong asked again, "Does the master still favor Wu?"

"Not entirely. Miao's health has improved now and she is already serving the master." Mother Tang found out that Pei Yuan's favorites are these two.

Xiao Shirong knew Pei Yuan very well. She looked at the parrot and said casually, "It won't be long."

That person is fickle and no matter who he favors, it will never last more than half a year.

Neither the Wu family nor the Miao family can cause any trouble.

After a few days, Fu Yu finally came over from the farm and served Xie Fei in the evening.

"You have been staying in this house for more than a month, why won't the Pei family let you go?" Fu Yu made the bed and turned around to see some fresh fruits on the cabinet with a light fragrance.

Xie Fei said: "It should be soon. The lady hasn't shown up for a long time, so people outside are bound to speculate."

Besides, the end of the year is approaching, and many occasions still require Xiao Shirong, the legal wife, to attend.

So this time, I'm afraid it will be the old lady who gives in first.

Xie Fei felt more and more that Xiao Shirong was also a tough nut to crack. She was indeed a girl from an aristocratic family with a lot of confidence. It was a pity to pair her with Pei Yuan.

She asked Fu Yu again, "How is Madam Shui? How is the baby?" Fu Yu said, "Don't worry, I came here after Madam Shui finished her confinement. As for her baby, he had a little jaundice in the first few days, but after my treatment, he has returned to normal now."

The family is now more grateful to Xie Fei and his companions, and they say they will serve Xie Fei like slaves in the future.

Xie Fei sighed, "They are so happy, but I am so annoyed here."

Being a housekeeper is not an easy job in itself, let alone she is just a concubine. She has to bear three huge burdens on her head while doing things right under their noses.

Before the old lady strips her of her housekeeper power, she has to take care of Lidie'er's affairs.

Fu Yu stuffed the extra pillows on the bed into the closet, and then saw an extremely exquisite box inside. She opened it and took a look.

"My goodness, girl, have you been a thief?"

The box contained not only dozens of taels of silver, but also many exquisite and luxurious objects, jewelry, ornaments, incense boxes, round fans, etc.

Fu Yu immediately suspected that Xie Fei had inherited Yuan San's true teachings and had gone to rob a tomb at night.

Xie Fei said: "I am the head of the family after all. Even if it's only for one or two months, I have to make some money, right?"

First, change your monthly allowance of three taels to twenty taels, and change Fu Yu's one tael to five taels, so that you can get one more month.

As for the other items, they were given to them by Mrs. Zheng before. They were so exquisite that Xie Fei couldn't bear to discard them, so he kept them for himself first.

Fu Yu also smiled from ear to ear, and came out holding the box. Together with Xie Fei, they touched, wiped and looked at it. He was so happy that he seemed to be out of his body.

In the morning, Xie Fei used the excuse of feeling unwell to ask Fu Yu to keep those intelligence agency elites out of the yard so that they would not disturb her deep sleep.

It was not until the sun reached the porch that she got up with full energy.

Life is so easy that I can sleep for so long without being blamed by the old lady and the eldest lady.

Because Yuanlu went out early to do some work, Fu Yu helped Xie Fei wash up.

"Miao Xiaoniang and Wu Xiaoniang are here. They said they want to ask you something." Fu Yu took out a plain silver hairpin, and after testing it in the mirror, she thought it looked low-key and pretty, so she put it on Xie Fei.

Last night, she listened to Xie Fei's general account of what happened in the mansion, and understood most of it.

Xie Fei put on a pair of inconspicuous blue-gilt silver earrings and shook her head, leaving a shadow behind the earrings.

"How long have they been waiting?"

"Soon, about the time it takes to burn an incense stick."

Xie Fei got up, had breakfast first, and then went to meet the two men.

In fact, Wu Shanyue and Miao had never gotten along well, but now that she was favored, not only did they not hate each other to the core, but they became closer instead.

After sitting down, Xie Fei smiled and said, "The two sisters have changed their personalities. Are you here together today?"

Miao was simple-minded and said directly: "Now that Wu Xiaoniang and I are the only ones favored, we must join hands to avoid others getting jealous and framing us."

Xie Fei laughed sullenly and said, "Yes, we have to take care of each other, otherwise we will be alone and weak and it will be difficult to defend ourselves."

She glanced over casually again and saw Li Die'er standing behind Miao holding a cup of hot tea, her hands scalded blood red.

Wu Shanyue said: "Sister Xie, Sister Miao and I have something to ask you."
