I was a housekeeper in ancient times

Song Zan thought she was stupid. She gave up the great splendor of the Bo Mansion and was willing to stay in this market! How foolish! "You are here, don't you have any plans? You, don't you have any plans for our future?"

Her eyes lit up and she looked at Song Zan in disbelief, "Our future?"

"Well, you... I have already decided on you, Qiushi. I wanted to ask my wife to marry you, but you..."

"But what about me? You can ask the lady to marry me. We are master and servant. She will agree and maybe even release me from slavery."

Song Zan's eyes showed disgust. He didn't care about slavery or not. He only cared whether Qiu Shi could bring him benefits. If Qiu Shi was just a useless maid, how could she help him? It would only bring shame to him!

He said, "You don't understand. My neighbors, relatives and friends all know that I like the maidservant next to the mistress of the Bo Mansion. How can I tell them if you are like this?"

Qiu Shi said, "There's nothing wrong with saying this."

"How would you know what people outside are saying about me, Qiushi? Can't you ask the Madam for mercy? After all, you have been with her for so many years. The Madam is kind and easy to talk to. Maybe she will relent and let you go."

"It's no use. I begged."

Seeing him like this, constantly asking her to go back, Qiushi would be lying if she didn't say she was disappointed. If he really cared, he would definitely come to help her if he saw her down and out. It would just depend on whether he would come back in the future.

She led the chess brother, "No more talking, I'm in a hurry to go back, you can come back another day."

Song Zan, who had nothing to show for it, was very upset. He had spent so much effort on Qiu Shi, hoping to use her to get close to the Bo's Mansion, but he never expected that he would be kicked out of the Bo's Mansion at the last minute.

He was filled with hatred and anger. He originally did not believe this matter, but seeing Qiu Shi like this, she could not even go back to the Bo Mansion, and it did not seem like it was fake, which made him feel very embarrassed.

In the double courtyard.

Imperial Physician Kou was very busy and could not come to the Earl's House often, so he asked Kou Wulang and his sister to do it for him.

Yu Muliu was already able to sit on the bed and talk. During these days of injury, he had become much paler, looked sickly, and had lost a lot of weight.

Since Kou Wulang wanted to treat Yu Muliu, he didn't bother with the formalities and stayed in the room with them.

Yu Muyan knew that Kou Wulang's medical skills were the best inherited from Doctor Kou, so she said, "Take a good look at Liu Jie'er. She has no appetite and refuses to take medicine."

Kou Wulang took the patient's pulse in a very proper manner and said he could prescribe a few more medicines.

This frightened Yu Muliu so much that she quickly said, "No, no, I just need to eat well, no need to prescribe me any more medicine."

Several people were amused by her, and Kou Wulang said, "There are appetite-stimulating medicines that are not bitter."

Yu Muyan asked the children to stay and talk, and asked Kou Wulang and his sister to stay for dinner. With Yu Muliu's injury, without the Kou family, Yu Muliu would be in great danger.

The days of recuperation were extremely boring. Yu Muliu lay in bed every day, feeling very bored. Finally, when the brother and sister came, they kept talking.

Kou Wulang didn't talk much, he just listened and occasionally interrupted.

Three people of similar age always have endless things to talk about at this moment.

By dinner time, no one knew what special day it was, but Yu Muyan rarely asked the kitchen to cook more delicious dishes.

When the food was served, Lin Weiqiao's eyes lit up. There was fresh fish soup, crispy tendons in fermented rice, chicken in black bean sauce, roast goose, ginseng and old hen soup, basil shrimp, mixed lotus root slices, etc.

She hadn't even finished dinner yet, but she was eagerly waiting for Yu Muyan to leave a few dishes if she couldn't finish them. She would be satisfied if she could leave some. These dishes were greasy and not suitable for children, as they were difficult to digest, so they would definitely be given to her.

She just has this confidence.

Unexpectedly, Yu Muyan dismissed everyone and left her alone, saying, "Mom, sit down and eat."

She thought that she hadn't done anything great, so why was Yu Muyan suddenly so polite to her?

Yu Muyan treated her well on weekdays, but no matter how good she was, there was still a sense of distance, and there was also a distinction between master and servant. When Yu Muyan was eating, she could only stand and serve him, so there was no reason for her to sit and eat with him.

"Madam, if you have something to say, just say it directly. There is no need to be so polite."

"Mom, sit down."

Yu Muyan directly pulled her to sit down, and personally picked up half a bowl of food for her, "Mom is tired all day and hungry, eat quickly."

She felt uneasy. What was wrong with Yu Muyan?

With the food first, she really wanted to analyze Yu Muyan's unreasonable behavior, but she forgot about it while eating.

Yu Muyan also ate, but she seemed to be worried and had no appetite.

After eating, Yu Muyan said, "Mom, you said that Sister Liu saw a person who looked like her husband in Cimu Temple that day. I asked Sister Liu and it was true. Mom, do you think this was a coincidence or..."

She was stunned, thinking that it was because of this matter. Could it be that Yu Muyan had begun to doubt whether Lu Yuxuan was really dead? She asked back, "What do you think, Madam?"

"I, I don't know. If he is still alive, why doesn't he come to me and..."

"Madam, you can't figure this out?"

"Ah."

"Madam was once the lord's bedmate. I want to know, does Madam really understand the lord?"

This question stumped Yu Muyan, who didn't know how to answer. She had been married to Lu Yuxuan for several years, and they had a pair of children. They only had one concubine, Aunt Lian, who could be ignored.

To outsiders, they are a loving couple, and even she thinks so.

But if she asked herself honestly, she seemed to have never entered Lu Yuxuan's heart, and she didn't know what Lu Yuxuan was thinking. Whenever she faced her, their eyes met, Lu Yuxuan always dodged.

She was an introverted and reserved person, but in front of Lu Yuxuan, she became talkative and cheerful, often trying to make Lu Yuxuan happy. The more she did this, the more she could see Lu Yuxuan's forced smile.

She couldn't understand why this happened. She had clearly put her sincere heart in front of Lu Yuxuan, but Lu Yuxuan still turned a blind eye to it.

"Madam, if you remain silent, that means you don't understand." Lin Weiqiao said.

"I don't know either." Yu Muyan said ambiguously.

"Madam, you can't figure it out. If the master is still alive, why doesn't he come back? Then let me ask you, if you suddenly disappear for a long time, where would you go when you come back?"

"Of course I'm going home."

"This sentence also applies to Uncle. Uncle didn't come back. Maybe he went back to another home?"

"Another home?"

Yu Muyan was confused and looked at Lin Weiqiao in confusion. Lin Weiqiao felt that the time was right and said, "In fact, I have met people who look very similar to Uncle several times outside. Their voices and bodies are exactly the same."

Yu Muyan asked excitedly: "Really, where have you seen it?"

"If you want to meet Madam, I can take you there. But there is a woman always by his side, and they are inseparable."

"what?"
