The ladies sitting in the pavilion were all startled, wondering where this maid who didn't know the rules came from. But by the time they realized what was happening, the maid had already started turning the pages.

"Little Orange!" Mother Wang on the side screamed in fright.

This... is really too unruly!

Xiaojuzi, who was reading a book, raised her hand and signaled Wang Ma not to speak. She just looked at the book very attentively.

The eldest young lady was also startled, but she did not stop Xiaojuzi. Instead, she looked at Xiaojuzi carefully.

At this moment, Xiaojuzi was reading the book very quickly, and the more she read, the more excited she became, and she was even a little shaky...

She began to breathe heavily, with an expression of disbelief in her eyes.

When she saw the last part, although she tried hard to control herself, tears already welled up in her eyes.

She didn't finish reading, and slowly put the book down...

Then, his tearful eyes looked straight ahead, and he stood there motionless, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Xiaojuzi?" Seeing Xiaojuzi's look of despair, the young lady called out softly.

Xiaojuzi didn't say anything, but just turned around to look at the young lady, lowered his head as a greeting, and then turned around and walked out.

The ladies in the pavilion looked at all this in surprise, and Mother Wang was also very panicked.

What should I do about this...

The eldest young lady watched Xiaojuzi walk away, turned around and motioned for Wang Mama to follow her out to take a look, then turned back to everyone and smiled and said, "To be honest, this book comes from a big family, but unfortunately the family has fallen on hard times. Alas... they are all pitiful people."

"oh!……"

The ladies nodded in unison as if they understood.

What does this mean? Can someone explain it to me?

The maids and servants around didn't understand, but it seemed that their masters understood.

As long as they understand.

The eldest young lady also smiled and nodded... That's good, no need to explain, it would be bad if explained. The more obscure and difficult to talk about the matters in the inner courtyard families are, the easier it is to settle. She is very familiar with such matters.

"Why don't we go take a look at the peach blossoms over there? They are blooming so beautifully this year..."

The ladies quickly forgot about the unpleasantness that had just occurred and were led by the eldest young lady to the peach orchard over there.

At this time, Qin Qiong was walking in the yard like a wandering soul. She could no longer stop crying. Her heart ached as if it was being boiled in oil, and there was only one voice in her head.

"She's dead, the little Loli is dead, and she committed suicide... She actually committed suicide!"

What kind of harm would that open-minded little thing have to suffer to commit suicide!

She has a family background, a brother, merits, everything. How could she commit suicide? !

She married into the royal family, who dared to give her face? Who dared to disrespect her and humiliate her? Who dared? !

She actually chose to commit suicide? !

That bastard said he would treat her well! Why? Why did he let her feel that only suicide could bring her relief!

What's the matter with that Gu Er?

This guy actually died for little Luosu, why?

But…originally he was going to marry the little thing.

If, if he really married the little Loli, wouldn't this have happened?

If I hadn't been so nosy and chosen this path for the little thing to enter the palace, then the little thing wouldn't have committed suicide!

How old was she when she died?

Twenty? The life that had just begun, the blooming life, was over?

Oh my God! She was so young, she hadn't lived a good life yet, how could she die!

She doesn't have a child yet? Oh my god! How old is the little thing?

Why is this happening? Why!

Was it because of me? Was it because of Qin Qiong's intervention?

It must be. The little girl was originally supposed to marry that Gu Er. If it weren’t for me, perhaps what happened later wouldn’t have happened.

Yes, it must be!

It must be, so it’s me, it’s her…

Qin Qiong stumbled and knelt down. She did not stand up again. She just knelt there, gritting her teeth and pressing down on a flower tree in front of her. She pressed it tightly.

She just knelt there.

I don’t know how long it was, but suddenly, Qin Qiong felt a small hand on her head. She looked up and saw it was the young master.

"Sister, don't cry..." the child's soft voice sounded.

She raised her head and saw the young master's pure eyes looking at her with some confusion.

These eyes look so much like a little girl's.

"Woo..." Qin Qiong couldn't hold it in any longer. She burst into tears.

"Sister, don't cry. What's wrong with you?" Xiaojuzi was a little scared by Xuan'er. He said hastily, "Is it that the small tree fell? It doesn't matter. We can just stand it up again tomorrow."

Xiaojuzi slowly raised his head. "...What did you say?"

The next day, Xiaojuzi fell ill.

The eldest young lady didn't say anything. She called a doctor for her and asked Mother Wang to take good care of her.

Mother Wang was very puzzled. How could this little girl be so appreciated by the eldest young lady? Apart from other things, what she did in the pavilion that day was too outrageous! If it were any other servant, she would have been kicked out of the mansion long ago.

"Madam, you can't let Xiaojuzi continue to be so unruly. How are you going to manage the servants in the yard in the future? If everyone follows suit, what will we do?"

"Will not"

"Young Mistress..."

"Mother Wang, you are an old lady who came with me as a dowry. I will not hide it from you. This little orange is not an ordinary person."

"how?"

"Heh... Do you still remember what the young master liked to play the most?"

"Hmm? ...Nothing, just playing around."

"He likes to grab dirt, throw stones, and once pushed someone, remember?"

"Well, little kid, it's always like this."

"But what is he playing now?"

"Now that you mention it, I remember that the young master paints, writes, and wants to learn sword dancing. Oh, right, at the Madam's birthday banquet that day, the young master recited all the names of the hundred families in public and said something..."

"The wild geese take my sorrow away, and the mountain brings me the beautiful moon."

"Yes, yes, that's great. Madam and Master are very happy to hear that."

"Of course, this shows that Xuan'er is talented. Aren't the master and his wife hoping that the eldest wife can produce a top scholar?"

"Yes, yes, but what does this have to do with Little Orange?"

"Didn't you notice that Xuan'er's changes all started after Xiaojuzi came?"

"Really? It seems so."

"Of course, I've already noticed that this little girl is not ordinary. I don't think she comes from a farmer's family. Her manners and knowledge, haha... She just followed the Seventh Young Master to the school and listened to what was said in the corner of the window, and she understood everything? How is that possible?"

"So, what do you mean?"

"This is because someone has taught her well for a long time, so she has such a foundation."

"So that's how it is. Then when this child comes..."

"I think her family may have met with misfortune and she was sold away, but she just doesn't want to talk about it."

"That's right... this girl looks unusual. It seems like she knows everything."

"It's not like, it's that she understands everything. Let me tell you, when Xuan'er first followed her, he couldn't even speak a complete sentence, but she actually taught him to recite poems in rhyme, and..." The eldest young lady narrowed her eyes.

"She always pointed to the scenery and recited the painting. She let Xuan'er look at the scenery and say a word, and then she would say a line of poetry. Xuan'er followed and learned. I listened secretly several times... That's how it was. She made Xuan'er remember a lot of words, so there were the Hundred Family Surnames and the line 'The geese lead my sorrow away'."
