Wei Xiuqing went out and walked along the corridor to the small restaurant next to it. This was her restaurant alone, and a regular servant would bring her meals every day.

The entire courtyard adopts a Chinese and Western construction style. The walls are carved with iron window grilles and the exterior walls are bright yellow. From the inside, you can see that these walls are built with red bricks. The overall look is grand and magnificent.

At the entrance of each courtyard there is an iron house number plate with the name of the courtyard written on it.

Wei Shicheng, his wife, concubines, and legitimate children all lived in the main building of the villa in front, which had a total of four floors.

Because there were enough rooms there, several children born to Wei Shicheng's concubines also lived there.

Their unfavored children lived in the courtyards at the back, and the size and luxury of each child's courtyard were different.

For a concubine's son, the courtyard would be slightly larger than that of a concubine's daughter, and more appropriately luxurious, with pavilions and towers inside.

Her small courtyard consists of three main rooms and two back rooms.

There are three main rooms, one is her bedroom, one is a dining room and a reception area, and the other is her study.

The yard is not big, only about the size of one-third of the land.

The back room is where Xiao Cui lives because she is relatively favored among the concubines' children.

Therefore, there is a fixed maid to take care of her, but other young ladies do not have this treatment.

However, each of the illegitimate sons and young masters had an attendant.

When Wei Xiuqing walked into the restaurant, she saw two dishes on the table, half a bowl of rice and a bowl of soup.

There was only about two taels of rice at most, and a steamed yellow croaker, stir-fried chicken greens and West Lake beef soup were all served in a very delicate six-inch bowl.

Judging from Wei Xiuqing's visual observation, he was only able to eat until he was about 60% full!

Xiao Cui was now standing respectfully against the wall, waiting for her to eat. After she finished eating, she would clean up the mess.

Overall, the original owner had little freedom.

However, life is well taken care of.

She can be said to be living the life of a rich young lady with everything provided for her.

Those unfavored concubines not only had to go to the big kitchen to serve their meals, but also had to send their dishes back there after eating. They also lived with several people and had no independent courtyards at all.

As for the sanitation in their yard, there are regular servants who clean it every day, but only once in the morning. If it gets dirty again, they have to clean it up themselves.

If you are too lazy to tidy up, you will have to wait until the maid comes to tidy up the next day.

From this point of view, her life is still pretty good for the time being.

Someone cleans the house and washes clothes every day. She doesn't even have to take care of her underwear herself, as Xiao Cui will do it for her. Someone also brings her meals.

This is the taste...

Well, I tried it and it’s not bad!

It seems that this wealthy family is living a pretty good life, and it would be acceptable if it could continue like this.

that is,,,,,,

Oh! I can’t think about it!

Wei Xiuqing was thinking about something while eating. She didn't eat fast. It took her half an hour to finish such a small amount of food.

However, the original owner had always adopted the habit of chewing slowly and eating small meals frequently, so she did not reveal any flaws.

"Xiao Cui, is the eldest lady at home?" After dinner, Wei Xiuqing asked Xiao Cui for news.

"I heard from Xiaofen that the eldest lady went out. I don't know if she has returned yet. I didn't go to the front yard." Xiao Cui answered in a low voice while cleaning up the tableware left by Wei Xiuqing.

She was assigned to the second young lady by the lady last year. Xiaofen is the personal maid serving the eldest young lady and has a good relationship with her.

Although the second young lady is more favored, she is definitely not comparable to the eldest young lady.

Usually, the eldest daughter goes out whenever she wants, eats whatever she wants, and wears whatever she wants.

But the second young lady cannot be like this. She has to ask the lady for permission before going out, she has no right to choose what to eat, and she has no say in what to wear.

It's just that, because she is good-looking, she has to go out and meet people often.

Therefore, the eldest lady would regularly send her clothes for each season, and some inconspicuous but valuable jewelry to match her clothes. Don't even think about anything else, it's useless.

"I understand. Thank you, Xiao Cui!" Wei Xiuqing imitated the original owner, smiled virtuously and nodded to Xiao Cui to express her gratitude.

Of course, the original owner would never express gratitude before, and her expression would not be as kind as it is now. She often had a blank expression and seemed superior.

So, even though Xiao Cui has been serving her for almost two years, the relationship between the two has always been very cold, with very little interaction.

"No, you're welcome, miss! This is what Xiao Cui should do." Xiao Cui was a little flattered and waved her hands repeatedly to indicate that there was no need to thank her. Her little face was flushed and looked a little cute.

It's also because the original owner didn't know how to behave. People like Xiao Cui are usually family-born children. Their parents and brothers and sisters all work for the Wei family. Their intelligence network is very well-informed.

"Xiao Cui, when you're free, can you help me go to the front and find out if there's anything new happening? You can use this to buy a hair ornament." Wei Xiuqing approached Xiao Cui, stuffed 20,000 yuan into her hand, held down her hand that wanted to refuse, looked at her firmly, hoping that she could do him a favor.

The 20,000 yuan she gave to Xiao Cui was really not a lot, because now it costs 3,000 yuan to buy a bowl of white noodles outside, and 500 yuan to take a ferry across the river.

So, the 20,000 yuan she gave to Xiao Cui was really not very generous.

But what could he do? The original owner was already poor. Apart from the basic monthly allowance of 100,000 yuan from his family, he had no other extra income, and his daily life was very tight.

"I, I may not be able to find out." Xiao Cui's voice trembled a little.

The lady today was so strange. Not only did she speak to me in a soft voice, she also asked me to go to the front to inquire for information.

Did something happen between her and the eldest lady?

In the morning, the eldest lady came here to see the young lady in person. At that time, the two of them got along very well!

Of course, that was when she was in the young lady's room. Later, she was sent out by the young lady, and even Xiaofen, the young lady's personal maid, was sent out with her.

So, what exactly happened between them?

Xiao Cui actually didn't want to get involved in the dispute between the two young ladies. Hadn't things been going well in the past? Why did it change now?

Her mother has been serving in the lady's room all the time, so she would definitely not betray the lady.

so,,,,,,

She felt a burning sensation holding the money in her hand.

"Don't worry, I just want to know how mother feels. I want to go out for a walk this afternoon and buy some gadgets that I like." Wei Xiuqing had an idea in mind when she saw her look, and sighed secretly in her heart.
