Rebirth is not a dream.

Everyone in the yard was present. Su Yue looked around and said, "Please introduce yourselves and tell us what jobs you hold. Let's start with the person on the left in the first row."

"Go get a chair and put it in the corridor." Su Yue ordered. Nanny Tao ordered someone to bring an exquisite chair. After putting it in the corridor, Su Yue sat leisurely in the corridor.

Su Yue turned to Taozi and said, "Let's get started. Record everyone and make a detailed file."

Taozi nodded slightly to show that she understood, then took out her pen, ink, paper and inkstone to prepare to take notes.

In fact, there are not many people in Yunxiao Courtyard. In addition to the four personal maids who serve Su Yue closely, there are six maids in the outer courtyard. Two of the second-class maids are named Qiuye and Qiushuang. They are smart and eloquent; there are also two third-class maids, Qiuchan and Qiuwen. Although they are of lower status, they are also hardworking and kind. In addition, there are two rough maids in charge of miscellaneous chores in the courtyard. One is Fu Sao, who is honest and loyal; the other is Xiang Sao, who is neat and capable.

Of course, we can't forget the four maids who take care of Qin Yi's daily life - Mudan, Muqing, Muxiang and Mulan. These four girls are not only beautiful, but also thoughtful. Finally, there are four servants who serve Qin Yi, they are Qiusheng, Qiusong, Jiangyuan and Chuanbai. These young waiters each have their own duties and jointly maintain the daily operation of Yunxiao Courtyard.

These people were quite obedient, and there were no difficult characters. The people who took care of Su Yue in the backyard were basically recruited from outside, with relatively simple backgrounds, so there would not be any complicated situations.

The composition of the people around Qin Yi is slightly different. Among them, Jiang Yuan and Chuan Bai are not present today. These two have always been close to Qin Yi and can be said to be his personal followers. Qiu Sheng and Qiu Song are servants in the family and have served Qin Yi's family since childhood. Mu Xiang is also a child of the family, and Mu Lan is assigned by the old lady to take care of Qin Yi's daily life. As for Mu Dan and Mu Qing, they are the same as Jiang Yuan and Chuan Bai. They have been following Qin Yi since childhood and have a close relationship with each other.

After Su Yue had a general understanding of the people around her, she had a rough idea in her mind and recorded all the information in detail. Then, she glanced at everyone and said, "Okay, everyone go back first. Each person can receive two taels of silver as a reward for your cooperation with me today. Remember, I will only keep those who are loyal to me. If anyone dares to have other intentions, don't blame me for being ruthless and ungrateful!"

After saying that, Su Yue turned around and walked straight into the room. She knew that it would take time to make this group of people sincerely convinced and completely obey her command, but she was not in a hurry because she had enough patience and wisdom to deal with it all.

Then, Su Yue sat at the table and fell into deep thought, and began to seriously think about how to deal with the future life in the mansion. After all, the mansion is not like other places, and the relationships inside are complicated. If you are not careful, you may cause countless troubles or even dangers... And Su Yue herself is also confused and has no idea what the secret hidden in little Su Yue is. What's more, it is a secret that Su Yue came from a thousand years later. In addition, there are only a few people in this world that Su Yue can trust. It's not that Su Yue is not confident in herself, but after experiencing too many things, it makes it difficult for her to have too much expectation and confidence in human nature.

When she returned to the mansion on the first day, nothing unusual happened. But unexpectedly, a lot of problems occurred the next day. In the early morning, Ding Xiang went to the kitchen to get breakfast and encountered all kinds of difficulties. Not only that, the food she brought back was very bland and tasteless, and had no nutrition at all. After Ding Xiang arranged the breakfast, she complained angrily: "That abominable old woman Wang in the kitchen is really too much! She even used the excuse that the mansion was busy attending a poetry meeting and was short of staff, and asked you to be more tolerant. Look at these foods, they are even worse than the vegetarian meals we had in Baiyun Temple!"

Su Yue felt extremely helpless. This excuse was simply unacceptable! This poetry meeting was clearly held in the Guangning County Princess's Mansion. What does it have to do with the Marquis' Mansion? These people were too lazy to even think of an excuse! Su Yue stared at the breakfast in front of her, secretly wondering how much she should eat to be considered appropriate.

She knew very well that if she didn't find a way to completely solve the problem, she would be troubled by these trivial matters every day. If things continued like this, it might not just be the servants deliberately making things difficult for her. There might even be rumors that were unfavorable to her, saying that she was not sensible enough. Therefore, she had to come up with a permanent solution to the current situation. She really needed to think about it...

After breakfast, Aunt Cheng and Concubine Zhang came to pay their respects. Today was neither the first nor the fifteenth day of the lunar month, so Su Yue did not need to go to Zhichun Courtyard to pay her respects. She was feeling bored, and the two girls from Qin Yi's backyard came over, so she just let them come in and spend time with her.

Cheng Yingzhi and Zhang Xiaohua entered the house together and bowed. Su Yue asked them to sit down and said, "During the time I was away from home, are you all well?"

"Thanks to my sister, everything is fine." Aunt Cheng replied, and Zhang Xiaohua echoed her.

Su Yue looked at the nurse beside Zhang Xiaohua holding the little girl and said, "How old is this little girl? The last time I saw her, she was only a few days old. Hurry and bring her over to me for a look."

The nurse glanced at Zhang Xiaohua, and seeing her gesture, she carried the little girl to Su Yue. Su Yue took the child naturally. The nurse was a little surprised that Su Yue would hold the child.

Zhang Xiaohua watched Su Yue hold the baby and said, "The little girl is almost a hundred days old."

Su Yue: "Oh, how many days are left?" Zhang Xiaohua: "The ninth day is the hundredth day."

Su Yue: "There are only a few days left, what arrangements have been made in the mansion?"

Zhang Xiaohua: “Not really.”

Su Yue: "I see. Then let's have a banquet at Yunxiao Courtyard on the ninth day of the lunar month to celebrate. Does the little girl have a name yet?"

Zhang Xiaohua lowered her head and said softly, "Not yet."

Su Yue looked at the little girl in her arms. She was white and plump, and looked very much like Qin Yi. She was really lovable. She looked up at Zhang Xiaohua and said, "The Third Young Master didn't give her a name?"

Zhang Xiaohua: "The Third Young Master has never seen the Young Miss."

Su Yue thought, this is really an irresponsible scumbag father. Even if the child was plotted, the child is innocent. Really, Su Yue looked at Zhang Xiaohua with a lonely face and said, "Is that so? Then let's give her a nickname first. When she meets her grandparents, let them give her a resounding maiden name. This little girl is as pink and delicate as peach blossoms, 'the peach blossoms are young and beautiful, and the flowers are bright and beautiful'. Our little girl will be called Yaoyao, okay, Yaoyao?"

Taozi whispered behind Su Yue: “Fortunately it’s not Taohua, Taozi.”

Su Yue looked back at Taozi: "What's wrong?"

Taozi: "Miss, this name sounds nice." Su Yue looked at Taozi suspiciously, thinking that this was not what she muttered just now. Su Yue didn't take it seriously and continued to tease the little girl in her arms.

The little girl looked at Su Yue and grinned and giggled. Su Yue looked at the little girl and said, "It seems that our little girl likes the name Yaoyao very much." Zhang Xiaohua stood up and saluted to Su Yue: "Thank you, Third Young Madam, for the name." Su Yue looked at Zhang Xiaohua and shook her head helplessly. Why did the ancient people always saluted to express gratitude? It's just a name, and a nickname at that. Is it necessary to be like this? Su Yue raised her hand and said, "Okay, stop saluting. Isn't this child also my daughter?" Zhang Xiaohua replied, "Yes, Yaoyao is the daughter of Third Young Madam." Su Yue didn't mean to take the child away. She looked at Aunt Cheng and said, "Why didn't Aunt Cheng bring the young master here? Let me, his stepmother, get close to him."

Cheng Yingzhi said with some disdain: "Fubao got up late, the wet nurse is taking care of him, there is no need for Third Young Madam to worry about it."

Su Yue sneered, "I was just asking casually, why is Aunt Cheng so nervous? Besides, as the legitimate mother, it is my duty to care about the illegitimate son."

Aunt Cheng's face changed slightly, and she lowered her head and smiled apologetically, "It's my fault that I'm narrow-minded, please don't blame me, Third Young Madam."

Su Yue knew clearly that Aunt Cheng was afraid that she would harm the child. However, she had never thought of making things difficult for the illegitimate child. She just wanted to take this opportunity to warn Aunt Cheng and let her know her identity.

"Okay, if you have nothing else to do, go back first." Su Yue ordered them to leave. Su Yue handed Yaoyao to the nurse and asked Taozi to send them out.

Xiao Yaoyao looked unhappy and about to cry when she saw Su Yue sending her to the nurse's arms. Su Yue looked at Xiao Yaoyao and said, "This little girl likes me quite a lot." Su Yue turned to Zhang Xiaohua and said, "In the future, bring Yaoyao here to play when you have nothing to do. Let's do this for today. I'll have someone clean up a children's room so that our little Yaoyao will have a place to play. You guys go back first."

Zhang Xiaohua and Aunt Cheng bowed and left.

Cheng Yingzhi and Zhang Xiaohua walked through the corridor. Aunt Cheng looked at Zhang Xiaohua and said, "You are really good at flattering people. Be careful that others don't snatch your child away. Humph." After that, Cheng Yingzhi left first.

Zhang Xiaohua felt complicated. She knew that her daughter would have a better future if she grew up with her stepmother, but she was reluctant to separate her flesh and blood.
