The day her husband welcomed the time-traveling girl into the house, she woke up

About half a quarter of an hour later, Lanruo came out of the bamboo garden.

There was no Aunt Gui or Qinghong Cuiwei following behind him.

As they peeked through the courtyard gate, Lan Ruo looked back and forth at them meaningfully and said, "Ning Shizi's wife is quite ill. She barely has the strength to speak to this old servant. She will not be able to see you today."

Li Shen frowned tightly.

After Xiaoshu pushed Yuer into the water, the secret guards in the palace heard the noise and came to rescue them immediately. Then the palace servants quickly gave them medicine to dispel the cold!

In addition, Xiaoshu has rarely been sick since she was a child and has a very good health. Even if she caught a cold after falling into the water, it is impossible for her to be too seriously ill!

She's obviously just faking illness!

Aunt Lanruo is really something, she actually followed Xiaoshu to make trouble!

Xiaoshu was spoiled like this!

However, no matter how unhappy or dissatisfied he was, he didn't dare to say it directly to Aunt Lanruo. He just frowned and looked at Li Yan.

Lan Ruo followed his gaze to Li Yan. Seeing that Li Yan had no intention of asking about their sister's specific condition, she shook her head slowly in disappointment and speechlessness, then said, "You two, please follow me."

The unquestionable tone in her voice was too obvious, and Li Yan and Li Shen did not dare to refuse.

After leaving the Dingbei Marquis Mansion, as soon as Lan Ruo's carriage left the Dingbei Marquis Mansion, Li Shen gritted his teeth and said, "Just in case, we have to arrange some maids who know martial arts to be with Yu'er!"

Li Yan glanced at him and slowly nodded in agreement.

It's good that there are more people around Yu'er and Xiaoshu. At least it's less likely that Xiaoshu will push Yu'er into the water after a disagreement.

Who would have thought that after he nodded, Li Shen was stunned for a moment and then said, "Yu'er is kind-hearted, simple-minded, and popular. Apart from Xiaoshu who is always jealous of her and Ning Jin and often targets her and makes things difficult for her, no one else would want to harm her. That's why we arranged for her to have a maid who knows martial arts to protect her from Xiaoshu. What if Xiaoshu quarrels with us again because of this..."

"Hasn't she been making enough noise since Yu'er came to the capital?"

"That's true! Then I'll go back and talk to Ning Jin about this. If they have a suitable candidate in the Dingbei Marquis Mansion, there's no need for us to send anyone here!"

"Ah."

Li Yan nodded, but did not go back with them. Instead, he waited outside.

For some reason, as he followed Aunt Lan Ruo and her group out, he became more and more concerned about Ning Jin's words.

Even though he was sure that Xiaoshu didn't want to see them today and was just being sullen...

Moments later, Li Shen quickly ran out of the Dingbei Marquis's mansion. "Ning Jin said that after hearing that the Queen had sent a maid to Xiaoshu, he also wanted to arrange for a few skilled maids to accompany Yu'er. He didn't expect that we had the same idea. He told us not to worry, he would make all the arrangements."

"Then let's go and come back tomorrow."

"When we come to visit Yu'er tomorrow, what should we bring her?"

"Just watch and prepare."

Li Yan was a little uneasy and didn't want to say more.

Including today, every time the two of them visited Xie Yu, he was the one who prepared the things, so Li Shen looked at him in confusion when he heard that.

But Li Shen didn't ask any more questions. He just thought that he was angry with Li Shu, and went back home thinking about it by himself.

Over in the Bamboo Garden, after Aunt Lanruo and her group left, Nanny Gui first led the eight maids who had just been left in the courtyard by Aunt Lanruo to put down their bags in the rooms arranged for them, and then took them to familiarize themselves with various places in the Bamboo Garden.

When she led the eight maids into Li Shu's room, Li Shu found an excuse to send Qinghong Cuiwei and others away.

Then Lin Yuan appeared like a ghost, knelt before Li Shu's bed, and said, "Miss, there are actually twenty-four of them in total. Sanniang named them after the twenty-four solar terms. Since you only need seven or eight, I have selected the eight most skilled ones from among the twenty-four."

"Well, thank you for your hard work. Please stand up. You don't have to kneel down every time you see me from now on."

"Yes."

Lin Yuan stood up in response, then stood aside and glanced at the eight people.

The eight people knelt down in unison and introduced their names one by one.

"The servant Jingzhe,

Your servant Guyu,

The servant Lixia,

Slave Bai Lu,

Slave Hanlu,

On the Autumnal Equinox,

Slave Frost,

My servant Xiaoxue,

Hello, Miss!"

Almost as soon as they finished speaking, Lin Yuan said, "If you don't like their names, you can change them to yours."

Li Shu's eyes swept over the faces of the eight people one by one, memorizing them firmly before shaking her head and saying, "Their names are very good, there's no need to change them."

After a pause, Li Shu looked at the eight people one by one and said, "Although you are not the people given to me by the Queen, in the eyes of outsiders, you are undoubtedly the people given to me by the Queen. So from now on, as long as you are right, you don't need to be polite to anyone, especially those who want to force their way into my Bamboo Garden, or those who are not close to me but want to get close to me."

"Yes!"

The eight people responded in unison. Li Shu then said to Aunt Gui, "Take them there and settle them down. Let them get acquainted with everyone."

"Yes."

Nanny Gui responded and took the eight people out.

Then Lin Yuan called out "Miss" and handed a list to Li Shu.

As Li Shu took it, Lin Yuan said, "These are the people that the son-in-law asked about the night before yesterday."

Li Shu was a little surprised.

It was found out so quickly!

It seems that the connections of Peacock Terrace should not be underestimated!

After all, it was a banquet held in the Qi Fei Palace, which had been very popular in the past two years. The ladies who attended the banquet were all very prominent. Even if Ning Jin wanted to question the people who witnessed her and Xie Yu falling into the water, he would have to do so in private. He couldn't let too many people know...

Thinking of this, Li Shu frowned slightly.

wrong!

Considering how much the Emperor has valued Concubine Qi in the past two years, if the Emperor and Concubine Qi had not given their permission, even Ning Jin would not have been able to find out overnight who witnessed her and Xie Yu falling into the water, and then summon them one by one to question them face to face!

But the Emperor still treats her as his own daughter, and Concubine Qi also gets along very well with her. If they had helped Ning Jin, those who witnessed her and Xie Yu falling into the water would definitely not dare to speak nonsense and slander her!

In addition...

She has always been kind to others and has almost never had any grudges with anyone. So ever since she believed that the dream was her future, she has been wondering why those who witnessed her and Xie Yu falling into the water all claimed that she was the one who pushed Xie Yu into the water!

Given the situation at that time, anyone who was not blind could see that it was Xie Yu who slipped. She subconsciously reached out to grab Xie Yu, but was dragged into the water by Xie Yu!

Then, the names on the list further deepened the wrinkles between her brows.
