"Bring her up here!" Da Hu's eyes stared straight at Feng Yu Heng. It was as though he was looking at a product. His eyes flashed with a malicious light.
At this time, Feng Yu Heng had already returned to her weak, pitiful, and timid appearance. In the bearded man's eyes, she was just a young girl. Although she looked delicate and clever, she couldn't escape her fate.
Following the bearded man's shout, someone immediately brought an old woman upstairs. That old woman stood beside the bearded man and glanced at Feng Yu Heng. Then she bowed to the bearded man and asked, "Is that the young lady?"
The bearded man glanced at the shopkeeper beside him. The shopkeeper quickly said, "That's right. That room belongs to the Lu Family. When Lord Lu left, he said that we should keep a close eye on this young lady and not let her take a single step out of the room."
The bearded man nodded, "En, that's it." After saying this, he raised his chin at the old woman, "Go. There's only one night left. You have to train her well."
"Rest assured, General." The old woman smiled with confidence. She was clearly familiar with this kind of thing.
She walked step by step towards Feng Yu Heng. No one knew what was going on. Just as they were looking over in confusion, they heard the bearded man suddenly shout, "Quickly, prepare your birthday gifts. This general will start receiving them now!"
On the other side, the people helplessly handed over their birthday gifts one by one. Cries rose one after another. On the other side, Feng Yu Heng looked at the old woman walking towards her. She sneered in her heart, but her face showed fear. She also began to retreat step by step.
The old woman entered the room and closed the door. She smiled, revealing a mouthful of big yellow teeth. She said to Feng Yu Heng with full energy, "Don't be afraid. This old woman is only here to teach you the rules. After tonight, if you can obtain Lord Duanmu's favor, this old woman will have to kowtow and call you master when I see you again."
Feng Yu Heng narrowed her eyes. She had guessed correctly. For the sake of her future, the Lu couple wanted to send her to the Commander's Manor. Very good. For her, this was really an effortless task.
That night, Feng Yu Heng did not sleep at all. The granny was quite spirited, as she spoke for the entire night. It was nothing more than how a woman should take care of a man. However, who was Feng Yu Heng? She was a shrewd person who had lived two lives. It was too easy for her to get some information out of this silly woman.
She told the biddy, "Mother-in-law, since Master and Madam have given me to the Great Commander, then I will accept my fate. Thanks to Mother-in-law's auspicious words, I might be favored in the future. That would be Qianxi's good fortune. Qianxi will listen to mother-in-law and learn well. If she is successful in the future, she will not forget mother-in-law's kindness today. "
Seeing that Lin Mengya was so sensible, the old woman beamed with joy. However, she thought disdainfully in her heart, "You want to have a bright future? Do you want to be favored? Dream on! The Great Commander's interest in any woman will only last for two or three months. After a while, there will be new people. There are 12 concubines in the Great Commander's Manor. Including you, you are the 13th; however, you do not know that there are no fewer than 100 maidservants in the Great Commander's Manor.
Although Feng Yu Heng could not guess what exactly this granny was thinking, she was able to figure it out pretty well. But she was not afraid. The two had their own duties. If she wanted to know, she would naturally ask herself, "Mother-in-law, Qianxi wants to ask about what the Great Commander likes and dislikes so that she can take good care of him. This will also prevent her from accidentally breaking any taboos."
The old maid felt that this sort of thing was natural, thus she really did talk about Duan Mu An Guo's likes and dislikes. Aside from what Duan Mu An Guo liked to eat and what tea he liked to drink, Feng Yu Heng also asked about some other things, "The Great Commander has been going to Qian Zhou frequently over the past few months. The weather in Qian Zhou is much colder than in the North. The Great Commander's twelfth madam is more sensible. She knows how to make a type of warm tea. Every time the Great Commander goes out or returns home, she will make some warm tea and bring it over. Because of this, she has received quite a bit of favor. That's why, Qianxi, if you want to capture a man's heart, you need to take note of what he needs the most. "
Feng Yu Heng bowed and sincerely said: "Thank you, mother-in-law, for your teachings; however, I wonder, aside from warm tea, what else does the Great Commander need?"
"That's …" The old maid thought for a bit then waved her hand, saying: "Forget it, there's no harm in telling you. Either way, you will need to know after entering the manor. In our Great Commander's Manor, aside from the 12 concubines, there is also the Great Madam. Although she is not the Great Commander's first wife, she is still the official second wife that entered the manor a few decades ago. She is also an imperial daughter of Qian Zhou. Her status is quite noble. But she is now old. In addition to this, she does not leave the manor for many years. When she closes the door, she spends her days complaining. This caused her to look even older than the Great Commander. Now, this Great Madam is wholeheartedly focused on Buddhism. She spends her days in the temple and does not ask about the Great Commander's matters. But even if she does not ask, the Great Commander cannot neglect her. He still needs to take good care of her. After all, she has the status of being from Qian Zhou. The Great Madams in the manor have been instructed by the Great Commander many times to go to the Great Madam to show their filial piety when they have nothing to do, but the Great Madams in the manor are all very proud. How could they be willing to take care of someone else. Qianxi girl, if you can take good care of the Great Madam after entering the manor, your position in the Great Commander's Manor will be different from others. Right now, the Great Commander is seeking refuge in Qian Zhou. If you can help the Great Madam in the manor gain some face, that would be a great merit. "
Feng Yu Heng's eyes lit up, and she quickly bowed to the granny with a look of joy: "Granny, don't worry. Qianxi has remembered. After entering the manor, I will definitely take good care of Great Commander and the Great Madam. When Qianxi has established herself in the manor, granny, you will be Qianxi's benefactor."
"Girl, you really have a sweet mouth." The granny covered her mouth and laughed, repeatedly praising her.
Feng Yu Heng also said: "Being Great Commander's concubine, no matter what is said, is better than being someone else's maidservant. From this day forward, Qianxi will wholeheartedly take good care of Great Commander and the Great Madam. It's just that there is a matter … that I hope granny can agree to."
"Oh?" The granny revealed a cautious expression, "Tell me what it is."
Feng Yu Heng quickly said: "Granny, don't be nervous. It's not anything big. It's just that I was thinking that since I will be getting married, I should kowtow to the Great Madam. I just wanted to see my Great Madam one more time before leaving."
The granny clearly let out a sigh of relief, saying with a smile: "I thought it was something big. This is human nature. It should be done. It should be done. Don't worry. The Lu family's Great Madam and Great Madam will return here tomorrow morning. There will be a sedan from the Great Madam's Manor coming to pick you up. They will also personally send you into the sedan and follow you into the Great Madam's Manor. "
Feng Yu Heng smiled and nodded, "That's good. As a servant, I should finish what I started."
The granny spoke for a long time until the sky began to light up. Only then did she yawn and say to Feng Yu Heng: "Alright, you should also go rest. Get some rest so that you won't look bad when you enter the manor."
Feng Yu Heng smiled bitterly to herself. The sky was about to light up. How much longer could she rest? Raising her head once more, she saw the granny walk into the inner room on her own. She then sat down on the bed that the Lu family's husband and wife were sleeping on. She then kicked off her shoes and socks. Without even washing up, she lay down and fell asleep.
Feng Yu Heng could not understand. How exactly did this sort of granny manage to get into the Great Madam's Manor? Did Duan Mu An Guo not feel disgusted using this sort of person?
She left the room with a belly full of questions. Closing the door, she lay down in the outer room and closed her eyes for a while.
But she only closed her eyes for a while. Not even two hours later, there was a knock on the door.
Feng Yu Heng helplessly got up. The granny in the inner room was snoring too loudly. She did not hear any movement from the outside at all. She opened the door and saw the Lu family's husband and wife walk in with tired expressions. Magistrate Lu saw Feng Yu Heng and looked her up and down for a while. He then furrowed his brow and said: "Why are you so tired? Look at the dark circles under your eyes. How are you going to go out like this? "
Before Feng Yu Heng could speak, the granny in the inner room began snoring once more. Madam Lu was given a fright and immediately shouted: "Who is it? Who is inside? "
Magistrate Lu's face was also filled with anger because today was the birthday banquet. For the sake of expressing goodwill to the Duan Mu family, and for the sake of expressing his closeness to the Duan Mu family, he had specially stayed in the Great Madam's Manor to help out. He had spent the entire night and wanted to come back to rest; however, who knew that someone would actually sleep in their room and bed. How could this be tolerated?
The anger in his heart immediately surged. Taking a large step forward, he raised his foot and kicked open the door separating the inner and outer rooms with a "bang." This kick was filled with confidence. After all, his relationship with the Duan Mu family was now one step closer. No one in this inn could compare to his status.
Magistrate Lu's kick did not wake the granny up. This person's sleeping posture was extremely bad. Not only was the blanket kicked to the ground, the collar of her clothes was pulled open, revealing most of her shoulders. Her pants were rolled up to her knees. A pair of feet covered in soot was unconsciously rubbing against the mattress. Saliva was dripping from the corner of her mouth, wetting most of the pillow.
Madam Lu almost vomited. Magistrate Lu was scared silly. He directly sat on the bed and said: "This, who is this person? Where did this wild granny come from? "
This shout was very loud and startled the sleeping person. The granny rubbed her eyes and unhappily sat up. She looked at the people in the room in a daze and asked Feng Yu Heng in confusion: "Who are they?"
Feng Yu Heng quickly replied: "Replying to popo, it's my master and madam."
Madam Lu also asked Feng Yu Heng: "Who is this disgusting person?"
Feng Yu Heng had an anxious expression. She waved her hand and said: "Madam, you can't say it like that. This is the popo of the Leader's Palace. She came on the orders of the leader to teach Qianxi the rules."
Once these words were said, the Lu Shi couple immediately realized that they had said the wrong thing. Magistrate Lu was so anxious that his face turned red. It was madam Lu who reacted quickly. With an "aiyo" sound, she threw herself in front of the granny. Her face was full of smiles as she loudly said: "This really is a case of the flood rushing against the dragon king's temple. One family doesn't recognize one family. Duan Mu daren is my great uncle. Speaking of which, we are truly one family. "
The granny gave a grunt. She had heard madam Lu's words. She said she was disgusting? Heng, no wonder she could send her own maidservant to the Leader's Palace. As expected, she was a person who saw the wind and steered the helm.
"Forget it." The granny waved her hand, "Since you came back, help this girl tidy up. In a while, the sedan will come to pick her up."
"Yes. Popo, don't worry. I promise I will tidy it up beautifully and send it to great uncle. "She specifically emphasized great uncle to show off her status.
The granny stood up and tidied her clothes. She put on her shoes and socks and rolled her eyes at the Lu couple. She then walked out of the room and called the waiter to prepare food for her.
Madam Lu looked at Feng Yu Heng and said with a fake smile: "You don't need to thank me too much. After all, you followed me and I have to find a good path for you. Come, I'll help you change into the clothes sent by the Duan Mu family. In a while, you will enter the sedan beautifully. "
Magistrate Lu saw that she wanted to change her clothes and took the initiative to leave. He also went downstairs to eat breakfast. Feng Yu Heng obediently let madam Lu help her change her clothes. After everything was taken care of, she suddenly grabbed madam Lu's wrist and said: "Madam, Qianxi is very nervous. You must stay by Qianxi's side!"
