I was a housekeeper in ancient times

Zhu'er and her daughter kept putting food into her bowl, filling it up.

After getting used to eating meals cooked in a big kitchen, it is still very delicious to have home-cooked meals occasionally.

But she felt a little unworthy of it, as she felt that she had not been very good to Zhu'er. She just transferred Zhu'er to her side so that she could run errands and do things for her.

He would occasionally share some food with Zhu'er, or give her some unused clothes or other things, but other than that, there was nothing else.

To be honest, she treated Xiaohan better. After all, Xiaohan was the first person she met after she came here, and she trusted him more.

However, in the eyes of Zhu'er and her father, it was as if she had saved Zhu'er's life.

"Mom, you eat." Zhu'er said warmly, looking very excited.

"Hey, you don't have to pick it up for me, you guys can eat it too, I can't eat it all by myself."

"Mom, please don't be polite to us. Just treat this place as your own home. To be honest, when I saw you for the first time, I felt very close to you, just like my own mother."

"is it?"

She knew that Zhu'er was a sweet talker, and besides, Zhu'er was about the same age as Huan Jie'er, so there was nothing wrong with saying that, so she just ate by herself.

However, Zhu'er's father looked quite unnatural when he heard this. He coughed a few times and buried his head in eating, glancing at Lin Weiqiao from time to time.

After everyone left, Zhu'er cleaned up the dishes. Zhu'er's father sat at the door tinkering with fertilizer. Suddenly he sighed, "It's been a long time since our family has been so lively. It's still too quiet with only the two of us at home."

Zhu Er said, "I'll ask Mother Lin to come more often in the future."

"Hey, it's your blessing that others can help you. Don't bother them too much."

"How could that be? Mother Lin treats me very well, even better than she treats her own daughter. Her daughter is the same. How could she not cherish such a good mother? How great it would be if Mother Lin was my mother."

This is Zhu'er's truest thought. As they are both family-born girls and of the same age, Huan Jie'er can easily enter the Fourth Miss's courtyard to serve and be the head maid.

In terms of looks and abilities, how could she not be better than Huan Jie'er? But she lost because she didn't have a good background and a good mother.

If Mother Lin was her biological mother, why did she have to suffer so much for nothing and live like an inferior?

What made her most indignant was that even with such a mother, Huan Jie'er did not know how to cherish her. This was something she could never hope for.

Her father sighed and said, "Alas, it's your fate."

She took the bowl and chopsticks to the stove, scooped water, and said angrily: "Who said that? I don't believe that my life will be miserable and lowly. I will climb up step by step, and I will eventually climb up. I will not be an inferior person for my whole life."

"I'm not trying to discourage you. I'm just a gardener and can't help you much. How can you climb up the ladder as a little girl?"

"As the old saying goes, God will not let down those who work hard. If I set my mind to it, I can accomplish anything. When the time is right, I will recognize Mother Lin as my godmother and be more filial to her than Sister Huan. There will always be more opportunities around her."

Lin Weiqiao didn't really think too much when she returned, and she didn't expect that she would become a tool for others to climb up. But in her opinion, it didn't matter.

When people interact with each other, most of the time they just get what they need. She can ask for it from others, and others can ask for it from her. As long as it is reasonable, there is nothing wrong with it.

However, interactions between adults are indeed complicated, so she sometimes prefers to deal with children, who are straightforward, say what they think, and have an open mind without having to worry about anything.

And having children can add a lot of liveliness.

She asked someone to set up a small bed in the room, and Hong Luo slept on it.

"Mom, I heard from the second room today that it was Madam who wanted to harm Aunt Lian and the baby in her belly."

"This is really new. I know that the bad guys complain first."

She knew that the wife of the Marquis of Suining had gone to confront the second house today. As she expected, Hua Jie'er did not admit that she pushed Wan Jie'er, but said that it was Wan Jie'er who pushed her.

The wife of Marquis Suining asked Huajie'er and Wanjie'er to confront each other in front of everyone.

After being framed by Hua Jie'er, Wan Jie'er burst into tears on the spot, "Why would I push Aunt Lian? Aunt Lian has a younger brother in her belly, and I can't even wait to love her, so why would I harm her? But you, Hua Jie'er, you definitely don't want this younger brother to come out!"

Hua Jie'er's face flushed red, "You're talking nonsense! I said no, that's it!"

Ding helped Hua Jie'er, implying that Wan Jie'er must have been instructed by someone to push Aunt Lian away.

Yu Muyan was not stupid enough to refute when being splashed with dirty water, and said calmly: "Then Hua Jieer pushed Wan Jieer and caused Aunt Lian to fall into the water. I think someone also instructed her. Besides, Aunt Lian also said that she believed Wan Jieer was not that kind of person. Another thing is that Aunt Lian said that Hua Jieer asked her to go downstairs."

No one dared to admit to this crime, especially in front of the wife of Marquis Suining.

Seeing that both sides insisted on their own opinions and neither admitted anything, the wife of Marquis Suining could not make up her mind for a moment. However, she also wanted to use this opportunity to establish her authority, so she punished both girls.

Wan Jie'er escaped because she was still ill, but Hua Jie'er was punished and confined to the ancestral hall.

Hong Luo said, "We all think that the second girl did it, but she refuses to admit it and keeps accusing the third girl. If this stalemate continues, when will it end?"

Lin Weiqiao rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Well, I will find a way to make her admit it."

No matter what, Hua Jie'er is still a child after all. Children are naturally afraid of things.

Because of Wan Jie'er's fall into the water, not only was she frightened, but she was also wrongly accused by Hua Jie'er. She fell ill and stayed ill for a long time. She often had nightmares at night and was always frightened awake. Even drinking tranquilizing soup did not help.

Yu Muyan held and coaxed him all night long, and suffered along with him.

Nanny He, who was recovering from an illness, came to visit Yu Muyan. Seeing Wan Jie'er like this, she said, "The third young lady is young and has not experienced anything. Although there are fish in the pond and it is clean, the water is flowing. Who knows if there is anything unclean in the water? In my opinion, the third young lady must have encountered something unclean and is in a nightmare."

Yu Muyan asked: "Mammy, what should we do?"

"Madam, I know you don't believe in ghosts and gods, but there are some things you have to believe in. I know someone who knows a little bit about these things..."

"This……"

Yu Muyan was undecided and looked at Lin Weiqiao.

Lin Weiqiao didn't really understand these things, after all, sometimes it really couldn't be explained by common sense. But she was afraid of meeting a liar and harming Wan Jie'er. If she didn't invite him, Wan Jie'er would suffer again.

Madam He saw their hesitation and said, "I'll ask someone. Logically, most children will encounter such a situation, and they have experience. It would be helpful to get a prescription."

Yu Muliu was also worried about Wan Jie'er's condition and said, "Second sister's family is always in trouble. Why don't I go to the temple and pray for Second sister, and also ask for a peace amulet for Wan Jie'er and Aunt Lian."
