The system asked me to chase his wife

Xiang Xiu'an was not expecting her to ask this question. After being briefly confused, he still perfunctorily said, "Very good."

Xia Mang nodded to show that he understood, and then said nothing more.

After not hearing the familiar ding-dong sound for a long time, Xia Mang couldn't help but knock on the system.

'Tsk! Where's my reward?'

System: '!!! Is that what you asked?'

Xia Mang: "What else? Didn't I say that I'm doing well recently?"

The system was silent for a while, and in that brief silence even Xia Mang could sense that there was something hesitant to speak.

After waiting for a few more seconds, the system compromised.

'Ding, mission completed, your points have been credited to your account, please check!'

Xia Mang happily flipped to the points page, and was shocked when he saw 50 points had been credited.

She spent 60 points to complete this crappy task, but in the end she didn't earn any points and even owed 10 points!
Second Austrian!

Xia Mang stood up suddenly, which scared Xiang Xiu'an who was squatting on the side. He looked up at Xia Mang.

As a result, Xia Mang felt dizzy because he got up too quickly. He was about to fall, but fortunately Xiang Xiu'an reached out and helped him up.

"Be careful!"

Xiang Xiu'an had just accepted Xia Mang's snacks, so he naturally showed some concern for her.

At this time, the door of the main house was lifted, and Ji Tong escorted Qiao Yuandong out, talking and laughing. Xiang Xiu'an heard the noise and rushed to the door.

"Sister-in-law!"

Qiao Yuandong couldn't help but smile when he saw Xiang Xiu'an coming out of the side room: "When did you come? Have you had your meal yet?"

Xiang Xiu'an, who had just finished a plate of snacks, nodded randomly.

He looked at Qiao Yuandong timidly, and when he saw that her face had a calm expression and no idea on her mind, he became even more uneasy.

"Sister-in-law, has she met grandmother?" Xiang Xiu'an had a lot of words in his mind that he had to think about over and over again before he could finally utter this sentence.

Qiao Yuandong nodded and said yes, and Xiang Xiu'an hesitated, not knowing how to start.

He didn't want to ask Qiao Yuandong to go back to the Qiao family, but after lowering his head and looking at his toes for a long time, he didn't say a word.

Qiao Yuandong noticed his abnormality and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

Xiang Xiu'an raised his eyes and glanced at Qiao Yuandong quickly, and said after a while: "Today, the teacher praised my good writing."

Qiao Yuandong was stunned for a moment before he smiled and said, "That's a good thing. Our An Ge will definitely have a great future!"

Looking at Xiang Xiu'an's expression of seeking praise, Qiao Yuandong couldn't help but feel complicated.

Xiang Xiu'an is fifteen years old after the new year. He hasn't been so childish for a long time since his mother passed away.

Xiang Xiu'an felt a little happier after receiving the praise from Qiao Yuandong. He looked at Qiao Yuandong again, but he didn't have the courage to ask his sister-in-law directly.

"I'm going to see my grandmother."

It’s the same to ask grandmother. If sister-in-law really plans to return to the Qiao family, and if he acts coquettishly to grandmother, can grandmother decide to keep sister-in-law?
With this idea in mind, Xiang Xiu'an said goodbye to Qiao Yuandong and walked into the lady's room.

Qiao Yuandong looked at his shy brother-in-law and guessed about 70% of his purpose.

If the child knew that she would stay in her husband's family, she would be so happy. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile.

After Xia Mang saw the young master off, he was about to leave the room when he saw Qiao Yuandong smiling at him at the door.

Since Xia Mang entered the Duke's Mansion, he has met this lady quite a few times.

She always had a cold look on her face, but today it was rare to see her smile.

The midday sun in early summer is very dazzling, illuminating everywhere.

Qiao Yuandong stood under the eaves. The white silk on her collar shone like jade in the sunlight, which made her face look even prettier. When she smiled, it was as if ice and snow had just melted.

Xia Mang was stunned for a moment.

She had thought that such a lady who had been widowed early would be a cold-hearted person, but now it seemed that she was just a child.

Qiao Yuandong saw Xia Mang in a blink of an eye. Seeing that she was also in the room that Xiang Xiu'an had just come out of, he couldn't help but stop smiling.

Seeing that Qiao Yuandong was staring at her without missing a thing, Xia Mang had no choice but to move over and bow to her.

Qiao Yuandong stopped smiling and put on a calm and dignified expression again. Her voice was cold and self-controlled.

"Let me ask you, when did the prince arrive?"

Xia Mang answered honestly that she and she arrived at the same time, and Qiao Yuandong frowned.

She looked at Xia Mang and asked again, "Have you been staying in that room with him all this time?"

Xia Mang didn't understand the wit behind Qiao Yuandong's words, and said frankly: "I brought a plate of snacks to the prince, and then I talked to him."

She remembered that Xiang Xiu'an had lied about having lunch, but she didn't reveal Xiang Xiu'an's true colors.

"I thought you were an honest girl, but I never thought..."

Qiao Yuandong breathed a sigh of relief and didn't say anything unpleasant after all. He just said, "You are just a servant girl. It's not your turn to serve the master."

Xia Mang pondered Qiao Yuandong's words for a moment, knowing that she might have displeased this lady, and quickly said, "Thank you for your reminder, Madam. I'll remember it."

Qiao Yuandong sighed and turned away. Rongzhu, who was following Qiao Yuandong, glanced at Xia Mang with a hint of contempt in her eyes. She had served the Madam the longest and knew best what the Madam was thinking.

After the lady's questions just now, she understood what it meant.

Now that the prince is getting older, the masters in the mansion are also interested in finding a wife for him, so the lady has been going out more frequently recently.

It was because the masters revealed such intentions that some of the restless maids under them began to have ideas, and most of them were lowly maids who wanted to be the masters.

Now that the prince hasn't even talked about marriage, how can he have a concubine first?

For this reason, the Madam Dowager and the Madam dismissed several maids in the Crown Prince's room, and now the Crown Prince is always accompanied by servants whenever he goes out.

And this new little girl actually dared to get close to the young master. She really doesn't know her place!
Leaving the main courtyard and turning the corner door, Rong Zhu whispered to Qiao Yuandong, "Madam, Mang Xia looks about the same age as the Second Master. Maybe she has that idea in mind."

Qiao Yuandong kept walking, looking straight ahead.

"Ang'er goes to pay respects to the Madam every day. That girl is no longer suitable to serve in the Madam's courtyard. Go and tell Madam Wang that my courtyard is short of people. I think Mangxia is smart, so I want her to work in my courtyard."

Mother Wang is the capable housekeeper beside the lady-in-waiting. Ever since Qiao Yuandong took over the household, Mother Wang has been assigned to her for orders.

Rongzhu knew what to say after receiving the order, so he nodded and agreed.

Xia Mang didn't know that her immediate boss had changed because of the incident just now. She was arguing with the system at this time.

"I spent 60 points to complete the task, and you only rewarded me with 50 points. Don't I still owe you money?"

'The host's expenses during the operation are personal wishes and have nothing to do with the system.'

"No, we should at least make it even! You are cheating me!"

'There is no such article in the System Law, so the host's request is rejected.'

"Okay, okay, that's what you said, I'm done with this, let's just break up, just kill me!"

'The host has not violated the regulations, and the system does not have the corresponding authority, so it is rejected! '

'.'

Xia Mang, who always considered herself to be eloquent, had no better way to deal with the stubborn system. She could only sit in the room with her arms folded and sulk.

When Man'er came in, she saw Xia Mang's cheeks puffed up. She couldn't help but ask quietly, "Did you quarrel with Dui'er again?"

Xia Mang said with a frown, "When have you ever seen me quarrel with her like this?"

She wasn't bragging, she had never suffered any loss from her mouth in her life!

Man'er touched his nose and couldn't help laughing. Then he remembered something important and said hurriedly, "The Madam wants you to come over."

The boss called him, so Xia Mang didn't want to delay and stood up and followed Man'er to the main house.

Man'er followed her to the door of the main house but did not go in. Xia Mang went in by herself.

This was the first time she entered the lady's room since she entered the mansion.

After the door stop was opened, a large screen frame stood in front of him. Before he could take a closer look at the detailed painting of Xia Mang on it, Lian Bi pulled it away.

Walking around the screen and passing through the entrance hall into the inner room, I saw the lady leaning peacefully on the couch.

Xia Mang bowed to the lady according to the training process she remembered, and the lady gently asked her to stand up and talk.

"Your name is Mangxia. You have been in the mansion for two months, right?"

Xia Mang nodded obediently, and the lady smiled and said, "I remember the exercise you did that day, which was said to strengthen your body?"

Xia Mang naturally knew what the lady was talking about.

But she didn't dare to give it a name that didn't fit the times, such as radio gymnastics. She just said, "I don't know what it's called, but I know it's good for the body."

The lady didn't want to ask more questions, she just nodded and said, "You can teach these girls to me once, so I can practice with you. I have been feeling sore in my waist and legs lately, and the doctors told me to walk more. I thought that doing your exercises should help."

Xia Mang consciously understood what her leader meant, and immediately patted her chest and assured: "Don't worry, Madam, this gymnastics is very simple, I can teach the sisters now."

The lady smiled and waved her hand: "There is no rush. Go see the lady first, and then settle the matter here."

Xia Mang looked up in confusion, and Ji Tong, who was beside the old lady, smiled and said to her, "The lady saw that you are smart, and she happened to be short of people in her courtyard, so she asked the old lady to take you."

Xia Mang nodded suddenly, it was all right.

The lady couldn't help but admonish her: "Since the lady likes you, you should serve her well and don't be sneaky or cunning."

Xia Mang agreed to all of them, and the lady turned to ask Ji Tong: "Since they are short of people, should we send one more person over? Only one person is not auspicious."

Ji Tong then counted on his fingers which maids in the main courtyard were suitable for the job.

When the lady got married, the lady-in-waiting transferred one of the first-class maids, Yunxiu, and several second-class maids.

Now the Madam specifically requested Mangxia, who was just a maid who did menial work. If she added another person, it would definitely be difficult to add a maid of the first or second rank.

We must find a smart and useful maid among the servants.

Ji Tong thought about all the names. She glanced at Xia Mang, made a choice in her mind, and said, "There is also Man'er who is not bad. How about sending him to Madam together with Mang Xia?"

The lady was very satisfied with Ji Tong's arrangement and waved her hand to settle the matter.

Because Xia Mang was requested by the lady herself, the lady-in-waiting looked up to her and raised her monthly salary to the second grade. She was allowed to serve in the lady's room and received a monthly salary of one hundred yuan.

Xia Mang was promoted and given a raise two months after joining the palace. He considered himself a winner in the ancient workplace.
