Yi Xin as a concubine

"Come here and greet the Madam and the Young Master."

Chu Xingchen still had to give Xiang Qing some face, although he didn't know why Xiang Qing had been gloomy and looked dissatisfied since yesterday.

"I have seen the young master, madam, and the young master."

Chu Xingchen looked at Xiang Qing's indifferent look, so he raised his hand and asked them to stand up, then added: "Just call me Second Master from now on."

"Yes, Second Master." The five people responded obediently again.

When Xiang Qing heard this name, she looked at Chu Xingchen in disbelief, "Achen, what do you mean?"

Chu Xingchen didn't even look at her, and continued to point at the old woman and said, "This is my wet nurse, you can just call her Mother Niu. Mother is not in good health, so don't disturb her rest."

"Yes." The five people answered in unison again.

"Okay, let's all sit down."

Chu Xingchen saw that Xin Baoer's hands had turned pale as she supported Zhao Xian, and remembered that she had hardly had any rest last night. He looked at the stool and gave instructions.

The five of them sat down obediently as instructed, waiting for the next lecture from their masters.

"Zhao Xian, Wei Yu, Xin Baoer, Xu Yingxue, Zheng Youlan."

"You may not know much about the situation here because you are here. I am not a noble son or a rich man. On the contrary, I am the grandson of the emperor of the previous dynasty imprisoned by the current emperor. So when you come here, you may not have the luxurious clothes and delicious food you imagine. You may even starve and freeze. So if you want to leave, I will find a way to send you away after the storm has passed. But before that, you better behave yourself. Otherwise, no one will care if a few people die in this deserted house."

The five people had different expressions when they heard this. Xu Yingxue, who was wearing a green dress, turned pale instantly. She was as depressed as she was in the morning. Zheng Youlan, who was wearing a white dress, was very calm, but her clenched fists revealed her unwillingness.

Wei Yu had a blank expression on his face, and acted as if he was in a cool and aloof manner, saying, "Whoever you are has nothing to do with me." Zhao Xian was even more outrageous, and looked as if he was eager to hear gossip. Xin Baoer wanted to cover her eyes and pretend that she didn't know that idiot for even a minute.

As for Xin Baoer herself, oh, Xin Baoer had no idea. But she was more certain that the man in front of her was the one the woman said would save her, and she wondered if she should find a chance to thank him.

Chu Xingchen took in the expressions of the girls and continued expressionlessly, "There are still a few girls who need treatment. You can stay like this for the time being. When those girls are better, we will adjust your accommodation. In addition, there are more people now, and Granny Wang may be too busy to handle it. If you have nothing to do, go over and help."

"Yes." This time the five people's answers were obviously much lower, mainly because two people who were eager to perform suddenly became silent.

Chu Xingchen didn’t care whether they agreed or not. After he finished speaking, he impatiently served the guests tea and sent them away.

The five people stood up, bowed and left.

"Hey, um, Xin... Eighth Miss, go out and look for Wangchuan. He wants to see you for something."

Xin Baoer was stunned for a moment, then replied respectfully: "Yes, Second Master."

After the five people left, Chu Xingchen regained his usual gentle demeanor, carefully helped Mother Niu up, and slowly walked out of the house. Before leaving, he glanced at Xiang Qing, who had a dazed expression.

He whispered, "Come to my study later. I have something to tell you."

Then, regardless of whether she heard or not, he helped the old woman away.

Almost at the moment when the two figures disappeared, Xiang Qing started to cry. A beautiful woman shedding tears is naturally lovable, but the person who loved her is no longer there.

"Mom, why are you crying? Xiaobao is very good, please don't cry." The soft and sweet voice of the baby made people feel warm in their hearts. Xiang Qing cried even harder when she saw her son's sensible and caring appearance.

Bijun sighed, walked in, handed the handkerchief in her hand to Madam to wipe her tears, and then pulled Xiaobao out of Madam's arms, coaxing her in a low voice: "Xiaobao, be good, go out and play by yourself, okay? I will take care of Madam."

Xiaobao nodded sensibly and walked away, looking back every few steps.

"Madam, why are you doing this? Even if they look alike, they are not the same after all~."

Although Bijun didn't want so many strangers to suddenly appear in the yard, it was simply because the young master had suffered too much persecution since he was born. God knew how difficult it was for the child to survive, and she was really scared.

There used to be several servants in the yard, and everyone had their own duties. As the head maid, she lived like an ordinary lady and did not have to do any heavy work.

But since the young master was born, it seemed as if everyone had changed. Poisoning, drowning, suffocation, if there hadn't been someone watching secretly, the young master would have died countless times.

After the servants were dealt with one by one, although the work became more, her life became more stable. She was quite satisfied with her current life.

But as life got better, the lady's temper became more and more difficult to understand. Often, the things she did were incomprehensible even to her, the maid who had grown up with her.

Bijun was thinking wildly and trying to persuade Xiang Qing earnestly, but Xiang Qing remained silent, as if she wanted to cry out all her grievances.

"I'm not willing to accept this. I just can't accept this. I'm a young lady from a family of scholars, and my life has been ruined like this. Now they want to take away even my last bit of hope. Why do they treat me so harshly? Why?"

Xiang Qing seemed to be possessed by a demon. He grabbed Bijun's shoulders and shook her vigorously, muttering "Why, why?"

"My lady, please speak a little more quietly. How can you say such nonsense?" Bijun was frightened and kept looking outside the door, fearing that someone would come and hear her lady's nonsense.

But Bijun was completely overthinking it, as no one had time to listen to them talking at the moment.

The five girls returned to the big bunk bed. Xu Yingxue and Zheng Youlan were completely depressed. Xin Baoer told Wei Yu and Zhao Xian to take good care of their injuries and went to look for Wang Chuan next door.

When she arrived, Wangchuan was already extremely anxious. When he saw her, he acted as if he had seen a savior.

"Eighth Miss, you are here. They all have fever. What should we do? The master asked me to look after them. I am a man, how can I serve patients, let alone treat them? I am a guard, not a doctor. I don't know what the master is thinking."

"Guard Wangchuan, you have a bright future. Do you want to talk about it in front of your master?" Xin Baoer walked over and touched the foreheads of several girls one by one while jokingly. She thought this little guard was silly and quite funny.

"uh-huh!"

"Master~" Wangchuan's body became stiff.

"Well, I'm not a doctor either, so I can't treat illnesses." Xin Baoer was also a little embarrassed, secretly cursing herself for being rude. If she wanted to tease the guards, she could just tease the guards, but why drag the master into it?

"Your two friends also had a fever last night."

Xin Baoer understood, what it meant was that you should treat these people in the same way you cured your friend.

"That medicine is out of use. Otherwise, you can go to my house to get it. I have an old doctor at home. The pills he makes are very effective."

Xin Baoer's words were somewhat tentative. If they really went to take her, it would mean that they knew her background very well, and even had some connection with the Xin family. That would explain why they would save her.

There is another meaning, that is, if the two families are in contact, then she can go home to visit, because she really misses home.

Chu Xingchen looked at her with a smile, as if he had seen through her little thoughts long ago, and a smile slowly blossomed on his gentle face.

"It's not impossible, but once my people go there, the Xin family will be investigated~"

"Stop, I'll think of a way, I'll think of a way." Xin Baoer quickly replied with a fake smile.

Suddenly I felt that the man in front of me was really wearing a fake skin. He was not as gentle as jade, but just a squid with a belly full of ink.

Do you really think she is stupid? With their ability to fly high up, it would only take a few minutes for them to get to the Xin family. What a big wolf.

"Don't be so sad. If you can save them, you will be their savior. Since you can be an assassin, you should have some skills. This is a free favor. Are you sure you don't want it?"

Wangchuan looked at his master in astonishment. Is he possessed by Young Master Yifan?

"I want it, I want it, I'll get ready now, get ready, hehe!"

Xin Baoer missed the time when she was timid. At that time, everyone knew she was useless and no one would expect her to accomplish anything.

I kind of regret that I rashly agreed to save these people on impulse last night. I really dug a hole for myself.
