It's good to exchange marriages. My sister eats coarse food while I wear gold and silver.

Mu Qing stared at Chen Xiang and saw that she was in love and didn't seem to be lying, so he continued to ask: "So he is still in Yuan Mansion now?"

Chen Xiang shook her head: "Ever since I followed the young lady to the Wanning Marquis's Mansion, he has no intention of staying in the Yuan Mansion, so I gave him all the money I had saved and asked him to go home and do some small business. When I reach the age to leave the mansion, I will be his wife."

"You are still at least ten years away from leaving the house. By then you will be almost thirty. Will he wait for you? Besides, you are a dowry maid. Yuan Buwei will definitely not let you leave the house."

"When I was a maidservant, the young lady promised me that as long as I stayed for five years, she would let me leave the house. I am sixteen this year, and even if another five years pass, I will not be considered old and ugly." After Chenxiang finished speaking, he looked at the comb in Mu Qing's hand and said, "Deputy General Mu, can you return the comb to me now?"

Mu Qing thought for a moment and stuffed the comb into his waist. "I'll keep the comb for you for now. Also, I want you to tell me everything Yuan Buwei does. Otherwise, I'll reveal everything you just said."

Chen Xiang's face suddenly lost all color: "Deputy General Mu, how could you treat this servant?"

"You are so young and you don't learn your lesson. You followed those seductive women and secretly got engaged to someone. If you were in the Mu Mansion, you would have been drowned long ago. And you are still bargaining in front of me!"

Chen Xiang wanted to argue: "But..."

"You can't be so unbridled in front of me."

Chenxiang's body trembled for a moment, and finally he could only slowly lower his head and shed tears silently.

"What are you standing there for? You haven't even finished making my bed."

"Yes, I will spread the bed now. I will spread the bed now."

Chen Xiang bit her lower lip, and after she had laid out the bedding neatly, she turned around and timidly looked at Mu Qing who had been supervising her: "The bed, the bed is made, Deputy General Mu, do you want to check it?"

Mu Qing took a look at the bed and had to say that as a maid, Chenxiang was very skillful.

No wonder she was chosen by Yuan Buwei to be a dowry maid.

It would be nice if she was my girl.

Mu Qing felt a little jealous of Yuan Buwei: "Go down."

"Yes."

"By the way." Mu Qing called out to Chen Xiang who was walking to the door, "From now on, bring me three meals a day."

Chenxiang nodded: "I understand."

After saying that, she ran out quickly.

Mu Qing thought she was afraid, but she didn't know that Chenxiang was just afraid of being a little slower, and she couldn't help but scold him.

Return to the house where she and Yunling lived.

She walked in, grabbed the teapot on the table, and drank it all in one gulp.

"boom."

She put the teapot heavily on the table, startling Yun Ling in the inner room: "What's wrong? Why are you so irritable?"

"Yun Ling, I really want to curse, you know? Mu Qing is a complete bully. I followed the method provided by the young lady and deliberately let her see my wooden comb. In the end, she not only took the bait, but also threatened me."

"Is this true?" Yun Ling's eyes widened. "What did she threaten you with?"

"Not only does she want me to report the young lady's every move to her, she also makes me feel like she's treating me like her own maid and ordering me around. Didn't you say that she didn't get any benefit from the young lady, so she comes to me to seek some sense of existence, thinking that by ordering me around, she's ordering the young lady around. How can she be so disgusting?" Chen Xiang was so angry that she slammed her fist on the table. "But to be honest, your wooden comb is pretty good. When she picks it up to look at it, I'm worried that she'll notice it."

"I picked the comb and carved the words myself. When she finds out the truth, do you think she will think we are..."

Chen Xiang got goose bumps because of Yun Ling's words: "Don't talk nonsense, are you willing to give up your brother Xingzhou? But if she goes to look for my imaginary boyfriend one day, where can I find one?"

"Don't worry about that. Medicine King Valley has many disciples who are gaining experience outside. I have already contacted one of them. He will help out in the medicine shop opened by the Second Young Master in the future. I have already written it down in the letter. I will find a chance for you two to meet."

"Okay, what's his name?"

"Yang Can."

"Okay." Chen Xiang silently memorized the name. "By the way, let's not always go in and out together in the future, so as not to let Mu Qing think there is a conflict between us."

"She is such a twisted person. She obviously cares most about her status and position, but she always says that she only wants to lead troops to fight and defend her country." Yun Ling shook her head and hooked Chen Xiang's shoulders. "Poor little Chen Xiang, she is going to suffer."

"Actually, I'm quite excited, especially when I'm acting with Mu Qing, I always feel very excited." Chen Xiang chuckled, "Besides, I have the young lady and you as my backers, so what do I have to be afraid of?"

"Ambitious."

Yun Ling gave her a thumbs up and said, "Let's go to the kitchen. A batch of fresh mutton has arrived in the kitchen tonight."

"I haven't tried mutton yet."

"Then go quickly and ask the young lady to save a leg of lamb for us."

Dinner.

After eating and drinking his fill, Chenxiang rinsed his mouth several times with well water to make sure there was no taste of meat in his mouth before he carried dinner to Mu Qing's room.

She was the only one in the room, Yayue was nowhere to be seen.

"Why is it so late?" Mu Qing was getting hungry from waiting.

"The kitchen is a bit busy today, so I'm going to help." Chen Xiang put the food on the table. "Today we have mutton soup, which is very nourishing. Deputy General Mu, please drink more."

Mu Qing used a spoon to stir the mutton soup, which was full of mutton offal, with very little meat: "This bowl, can also be considered mutton soup?"

"These are all orders from the young lady. It is impossible for this servant to eat the meat in the middle of the meal."

"Yuan Buwei is too stingy. She's just giving this kind of food to a beggar?" Mu Qing threw the spoon away and said, "I won't eat it anymore."

"The Wanning Marquis' Mansion has always been like this, and they are quite frugal with food." Chenxiang really wanted to pick up the mutton soup and pour it on Mu Qing's face. Why pretend? It was good enough to have something to eat.

"A bowl of mutton soup, two plates of vegetarian dishes, and two steamed buns?" Mu Qing snorted and laughed, "Don't you know I'm a military commander? I can eat at least two kilograms of meat in one meal, but now it's just this little, it's just enough to fill my teeth. Besides, it was the young marquis who asked me to take care of him. If I can't eat, how can I have the energy to take care of him?"

"Then, slave, go to the kitchen and see if there is anything to eat."

"I have to keep watch for the young marquis today. There is still half an hour left. You'd better hurry up. If you let me starve..." Mu Qing picked up the wooden comb and waved it.

Chenxiang immediately responded as if she was facing a formidable enemy: "I will go now."

When I arrived at the kitchen, Yuan Buwei had not left yet.

Hearing Chenxiang's complaints, he patted her head with a bit of heartache: "I really didn't expect that she would vent all her resentment towards me on you."

"Madam, I don't feel offended, but I just don't believe her appetite is really that big."
