Chapter 6 Living in the West Courtyard
The carriage has already stopped at the gate of Andinghou. Qiuyue opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage to look around, but no one came out to greet the young lady. She felt a little disappointed. When did her young lady become so unpopular? If it wasn't for Madam Died of illness suddenly, Miss may still be the apple of the eye in the family.

When Qiuyue was thinking wildly, the curtain of the car opened and Li Ruoxian poked her head out. The first thing she saw was the shining gold plaque on the door of Andinghou Mansion.

"Miss, this servant will help you down." Qiuyue stretched out her hand to support Li Ruoxian, and only let her go after she stood firmly on the ground.

"Go in." Li Ruoxian walked towards the gate.

At this time, a beautiful young woman and a servant girl came out, Liuju, the concubine of Ding'an Hou Xinna, and her personal maid, and then Nanny Gui came out with the help of the new wife of Dinghou's mansion, Li Qiumei.

"Miss." Liu Ju and her maid gave blessings first, only Li Qiumei put on a high-level posture like a grandmother who is in charge of the Hou family, and said softly, "Xianxian, I haven't seen you for a long time, she looks more and more beautiful."

"Miss, you're back." Nanny Gui watched Li Xianxian grow up, and felt even more cordial when she saw Li Ruoxian who hadn't seen her for three years.

"Nurse Gui, how is everything at home?" Li Ruoxian ignored Li Qiumei's existence and greeted the old lady in the house.

Naturally, Li Qiumei knew that she was not liked by Li Ruoxian, but she still pretended to be a loving mother and went to Li Ruoxian's side to ask for warmth, "Xianxian has worked hard all the way, I have prepared a yard for you, you can go and see if it suits you, what is missing?" Just tell me anything."

Li Ruoxian avoided Li Qiumei's touch calmly, smiled and said two words, "I'm sorry for your troubles, concubine."

"The young master is not here today, the master is going to court, and the two young ladies have gone to Yang's mansion to enjoy the flowers." Li Qiumei naturally withdrew her hand and began to explain why there were no such people in the family.

Li Ruoxian nodded, "Nurse Gui, where did Zhixuan go?" Li Xianxian still cared more about his younger brother who was a compatriot.

"Back to Eldest Miss, Second Young Master has gone to Hangzhou to attend a gathering of poetry friends, and I think he should be back in two days." Nanny Gui explained respectfully.

Li Ruoxian nodded, "Take me to my yard." She didn't want to stay at the gate either, so she walked in as she spoke.

There were already two clever maids leading the way. Nanny Gui wanted to go up and say a few words to Li Ruoxian, but was stopped by Li Qiumei. She could only bow her head and pray for Li Ruoxian silently in her heart.

This morning, Nanny Gui intended to go to Li Zhiyang to complain, but was stopped by Li Qiumei, who ordered a bunch of irrelevant work, and Li Zhiyang also went to court after the work was done. She had no chance to tell Li Zhiyang about Li Ruoxian.

This is a courtyard with four entrances. The two gardenia trees in the gate are in full bloom, exuding an elegant fragrance, and the breeze blows the petals and falls to the ground.

There are blooming rose flowers all around the courtyard, and the flowers are competing for beauty. The weather is sunny and the sun hits the petals, exuding vitality.

Bypassing the winding path and the lotus pond, you will arrive at the west courtyard in front of you. The name of the west courtyard is very unique "Yiheju".

The maid only sent Li Ruoxian to the door, but she didn't dare to move forward. Li Ruoxian's eyes naturally fell on this subtle movement, and a sneer appeared in her heart, thinking how could Li Qiumei be so kind, and how could she be so kind? There is a courtyard for her to live alone, I am afraid there must be articles in it.

Qiuyue didn't know why, so she stepped forward and opened the door. The beautiful scenery inside made her want to scream, "Miss, this yard is so beautiful."

Li Ruoxian's gaze still fell on the little maid who led the way, and she said coldly, "What's your name?"

The little servant girl was taken aback for a moment, she didn't expect that the eldest lady would talk to her first, she just bowed her head, "Slave servant Xiaoya."

"There's something in the west courtyard, so...you don't dare to go in?" Li Ruoxian raised her eyebrows. If she guessed right, there must be something wrong with the west courtyard.

The little maid buried her head lower, as if she was afraid that others would discover her mood.

Li Ruoxian's voice became even colder, "Xiaoya, if you don't tell me, don't I know? I like you as a maid, why don't you just stay and serve me in the west courtyard?"

The little girl's legs went limp and she knelt down on the ground, "Miss, this servant is served by Mrs. Hou Ye. Miss, please don't embarrass me as a maid. The west courtyard is very beautiful. This house is just a little unlucky, really. Nothing else."
