I am a leisurely rich woman in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 12: Trusting someone else

Seeing Yu Lu looking absent-minded all day long, Yue Shu had no choice but to do the old lady's embroidery work for her.

We can't just let the old lady's immortal robe be put aside just because she doesn't do it. If she is blamed then, she will inevitably be held jointly responsible.

However, Yue Shu also made an agreement with Yu Lu that from now on, she would be responsible for making the old lady's fairy robe and outer garment, and Yu Lu would only need to take care of the third prince's royal robe.

But Yue Shu was still too young, and she knew that she could not handle such a large workload, so she put her extra income job aside for the time being. After all, the old lady’s important work could not be neglected.

On this day, Yue Shu had just finished embroidering the outer garment of her immortal robe and presented it to the front. The old lady looked at the exquisite immortal robe and the spiritual embroidery without asking anything. With a look of satisfaction on her face, she took several senior palace maids in her room and went to the Yuhua Immortal Sect to visit the eldest senior sister, Lian Yun, in a grand manner.

This time, it was the old lady who went in person to propose to Senior Sister Lianyun, as a senior elder to present the betrothal gift to the Third Prince.

Because both families were very satisfied with this marriage, it developed very quickly.

However, the palace maids who went with them were all high-ranking palace maids of the first and second classes, so it was naturally impossible for a third-class palace maid like Yue Shu to go with them.

She just watched the lively scene for a while, stretched her tired body, and then quietly went into the inner room to work.

Because the old lady went out to visit guests, she took many palace maids with her. Naturally, there was no one to look after her. Yue Shu felt extremely comfortable.

At this time, she saw Congshuang walking in with a gloomy look on his face. It looked like something big was going to happen. Yue Shu quickly stood up and looked at Congshuang who had been staring at Yu Lu since he came in.

At this time, Yu Lu also realized that Cong Shuang was here to call for punishment.

Looking at Congshuang's grim expression, she knew in her heart that something bad was going to happen.

"Yueyue, get out." Congshuang ordered without any room for argument.

Although she was speaking to Yue Shu, her eyes were always fixed on Yu Lu.

Yue Shu pretended to be a quail and walked out quickly.

At this time, Xue Chi grabbed her and said angrily: "In this room, you don't know who is the maid and who is the master. You've learned a good lesson!"

She looked at Yue Shu with a worried look on her face and said, "It's okay. This has nothing to do with you. You don't have to worry about it."

She comforted Yue Shu and pulled her to the table, then stuffed the fairy cakes into Yue Shu's hands.
"You should eat something too. When the old lady comes back, she will definitely make some other spiritual food and snacks."

Although these were snacks for the old lady, she didn't care much about them and couldn't eat much.

The spiritual food offered every day is usually given to the palace maids, which can be regarded as an invisible benefit for the palace maids in the old lady's palace.

Yue Shu nodded, and without any pretense, she took the Xianlu Ejiao Cake and started to eat it.

This Xianlu donkey-hide gelatin cake was not at all sweet and tasted refreshing. At this moment, Yue Shu felt a warm current flowing through her abdomen.

The chasm between them had gradually been loosened by her practice in the past few days, just like a drop of water can tap an ant hole. She realized that she was about to advance to the foundation-building stage.

It was really easy to get. Yue Shu quickly brought a cup of Yuehua Lingcha to Xue Chi. Xue Chi also said with a smile: "I knew you were sensible."

Xue Chi took a sip and said angrily, "Long Shan was ridden by a dragon! She really thinks she is the master."

Yue Shu also knew that she was dissatisfied with Yu Lu's absent-mindedness in doing things today.

"Now I am fully content to throw myself on the Third Prince and embroider his wedding dress, but I hope that later I will end up watching him marry someone else!"

The snow dragon's voice became louder at this time, and it should be able to be heard clearly in the inner room.

Not long after, soft crying sounds were heard from the room.

Yue Shu hurriedly advised, "Sister, please don't say it." "Will she know what's going on if you don't say it?"

"If the Third Prince had deep feelings for her, why didn't he ask the old lady for permission to give her away? Instead, she plunged into the quagmire herself, and no one else knew about it!"

"Besides, how can I, with my status, possibly snatch the favor that the Third Prince has bestowed on the Immortal Sect's Senior Sister?"

Although the eldest sister of the Immortal Sect was born with a fairy-like appearance, she was not inferior even when compared with the Third Prince.

But the people in the Crystal Palace have always been arrogant and think that their third prince is superior.

Listening to Sister Xue Chi's words, Yue Shu also understood that this straightforward sister was actually giving Yu Lu advice and caring about her.

"The old lady treats us so well. When we get married, she will give us spirit stones as dowry to save face. Even if we encounter difficulties in the future, she will not ignore us."

"Why did you have to be a slave since you were young? When you get married, you have to sacrifice your whole life for it? Do you despise living a free life in the future?"

Xue Chi thought of something and said even louder, "Why bother keeping another one hanging!"

Yue Shu didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, but she knew she was not angry with her so she didn't want to care about it.

Seeing Xue Chi looking at her with a puzzled look after she took two pieces of spiritual food pastries from the table, she just blushed and ran out the door.

At this time, Yue Shu saw Tinghe watering the spiritual flowers outside and called her.

Hearing He Zheng's listless look and seeing Yue Shu holding something delicious in her hand, she quickly put down the spirit pot and ran over.

Ting He stood at the door, not daring to take a step forward. She happily took the pastries from Yue Shu and started eating them blissfully.

Seeing the two young palace maids being so intimate, Xue Chi sighed secretly, stood up, took the cakes from the plate, and said:
"There's more. Eat slowly and don't choke. Oh, it looks like you two have a very good relationship."

"Yes, sister. Yueyue and I are as close as sisters." Tinghe said while eating.

Xue Chi smiled, but his eyes were fixed on Yu Lu's house. He didn't say anything, but couldn't help but whispered, "Don't forget the kindness you showed me today."

Having said that, she left with a bad look on her face.

Ting He saw that something was not right and asked Yue Shu quietly, "What happened to Sister? Didn't you make her unhappy?"

Yue Shu naturally wouldn't tell Ting He about these dirty things, she just told Ting He to eat his snacks in peace, "No, you don't have to worry."

Ting He nodded but didn't say anything.

The two sisters were eating happily when Congshuang came out from the inner room.

She didn't bother to care about those face-saving projects, so she called Yue Shu in front of Yu Lu and asked, "Did Yu Lu do all the old lady's work for you?"

Yue Shu just looked at Yu Lu, as if she was not sure what to say. She looked at Yu Lu and said softly, "It's okay, just tell me the truth." Yue Shu then spoke.

"I wanted you to help Yu Lu because I was worried that you might not be energetic enough and might make mistakes."

"If this is the situation, then you should continue to do this job in the future."

"Don't worry, our old lady is not a dragon ancestor who often changes her fairy robes. You just need to be careful."

Seeing Yu Lu heaving a sigh of relief, Cong Shuang continued, "From now on, your share will be based on that of a second-class maid. However, there is currently no vacancy for a second-class maid, so Yu Lu will fill the difference herself."
