After knowing that Nie Lve had given all the indentures to Jiujiu, all of them were as obedient as little lambs.
Jiujiu walked around the courtyard, and each of the servants was more obedient than the other.
Jiujiu felt bored and turned to sit down in the pavilion.
Jiujiu sent Lianxin to get the snacks, while Jiujiu stayed at the same spot and stared at the koi fish in the pond.
Although the Duke Mansion was not as good as before, it still had hundreds of years of history. The koi fish in the pond were worth a few hundred taels each.
Inside the courtyard, there were clusters of flowers, all of which were of rare and precious varieties. The flowers were so beautiful that they were hard to find even with a thousand taels of gold.
However, although they were beautiful, they were too artificial and lost the original beauty of the plants.
Moreover, thinking of the mess in the Duke Mansion, Jiujiu did not have the mood to appreciate the beautiful things. She only thought about the snacks that Lianxin went to get.
Jiujiu waited for 15 minutes, but the snacks were not there. Instead, Lianxin, who was crying with a palm print on her face.
"Where are the snacks?"
Lianxin knelt on the ground with red eyes and said in a choked voice, "Master, the snacks are gone."
"How could it be gone?" She ordered the chef to make the snacks after breakfast.
"Madam, when I went to get them, I met Qing Liu, who was serving First Madam. Qing Liu said that First Madam had no appetite today and wanted to eat something sour to stimulate her appetite. First Madam would definitely like the sour date cake that you ordered, so she wanted to take it away."
Lianxin covered her face and said in a hoarse voice, "If First Madam wants to eat it, she can ask the chef to make it. Madam, you ordered the kitchen to make the sour date cake, so I naturally did not want to let her take it.
But Qing Liu asked someone to pull me away and even slapped me. She snatched the sour date cake away and said … "
"What did she say?"
"She said that Madam, you have a lowly life in your life. Now that you have married the Second Master, you really think of yourself as a master when others call you Madam."
After Lianxin finished speaking, she looked at Jiujiu carefully and asked, "Madam, are you angry?"
Jiujiu was silent for a moment, then her lips curled into a smile. "She's right. I'm indeed destined to die."
If Ninth Lady Xiao didn't dote on her father, wasn't it obvious that she was mourning?
However, was this the reason why Qing Liu snatched her sour date cake?
No matter what, she was still the mistress of the Duke Zhen Manor. A mere servant dared to speak to her mistress in such a manner. There must be someone backing her up.
Jiujiu stood up and stretched. "Speaking of which, it's been two days since I got married, but I haven't seen my sister-in-law yet. It's time to get to know each other."
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she walked towards the courtyard of Duchess Zhenguo.
Lian Xin quickly followed.
When Jiujiu arrived, Nie Ce's wife, Lin Wanxin, was eating the sour date cake. Qing Liu stood at the side, fanning herself while vividly describing what had happened in the kitchen. Lin Wanxin covered her mouth and laughed. "You're so eloquent."
Qing Liu obediently said, "It's because Madam taught me well."
"Sigh ~" Lin Wanxin sighed hypocritically. "This brother-in-law of mine was obedient when he was young, but the older he grew, the more unreasonable he became. He still hasn't said anything even though he's already 20 years old. If I hadn't acted first and reported later to him, I'm afraid he would have been a bachelor for the rest of his life."
"Madam, you have a Buddha's heart. However, in my opinion, Madam Xiao doesn't know what's good for her." Qing Liu spat. "She doesn't think about her own status. It's her ancestors' blessing to be able to marry the Second Master. Madam, you just want to eat a plate of sour date cake, but her servant dares to refuse. She really hasn't seen the world. She can't even bear to eat a plate of sour date cake."
"Her parents don't love her. It's normal that she hasn't eaten good food." Lin Wanxin frowned. "She can't even bear to eat a plate of sour date cake. Her eyelids are really too shallow. However, the Second Master is just like that. They can be considered to be well-matched."
"The Second Master is stubborn. Madam, you're doing this for his own good." After Qing Liu finished speaking, she imitated Lin Wanxin and sighed. "Madam, you're doing this for the Second Master's good. If he continues like before, I'm afraid he won't be able to find a wife when he's old."
"That's true ~" Lin Wanxin sighed. "I hope the Second Master can understand my painstaking efforts. Now that he has a wife, he won't continue to be as absurd as before."
Qing Liu continued, "But looking at the Second Madam's appearance, she isn't even willing to give up a plate of sour date cake. I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint Madam."
Lianxin didn't expect to hear such wonderful words as soon as she came over with Jiujiu. She was so scared that her legs trembled.
Jiujiu stood outside and listened to Lin Wanxin and Qing Liu speak in unison about her and Nie Lve. She was almost amused.
It was obvious that Lin Wanxin was annoyed with Nie Lve, her brother-in-law. She wanted to drive him out, but she was afraid that she would have a bad reputation. So, she wanted to separate after Nie Lve got married.
However, she didn't want Nie Lve to have a good life. So, she found Xiao Jiuniang, who wasn't raised well by her parents.
Everyone could tell what Lin Wanxin was thinking, but when it came out of Lin Wanxin's mouth, she was like a good sister-in-law who could only be found in heaven and not on earth.
Tsk …
Was this person a plastic bag in her previous life? She was so good at pretending.
Jiujiu glanced at Lianxin, who was trembling with fear. She pushed open the door and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, is this sour date cake delicious?"
Lin Wanxin's expression was a little uncomfortable. She was caught talking behind someone's back.
However, she thought that Xiao Jiuniang was just a girl that her parents didn't love. She forced herself to be calm. "So it's Nie Lve's wife. You're here."
Jiujiu found a place to sit down. "If I didn't come, I wouldn't know that sister-in-law thinks of me and my husband like this."
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she looked at the plate of sour date cake in front of Lin Wanxin and glanced sideways at Lianxin.
Lianxin quickly picked up the plate as if she had been electrocuted and placed it in front of Jiujiu.
As a result, Lin Wanxin's outstretched hand appeared incomparably awkward.
Jiujiu pinched a piece of sour date cake and said with a smile, "I heard from Lianxin that sister-in-law doesn't have a good appetite today. Is that right?"
When Qing Liu had snatched the jujube cake, she had used this excuse. Lin Wan Xin couldn't say no, so she nodded. "The weather is getting hot too quickly. It's as if there's a stone stuck in my chest."
"I see."
Jiujiu nodded. "Although I'm not a doctor, I know that if your chest is stuffy and you have a bad appetite, you might be pregnant."
Jiujiu paused and looked at the sour date cake in front of her. She smiled gently. "Don't people say that sour boys and spicy girls? Sister-in-law, you might be pregnant with a boy. "
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she looked sideways at Lianxin. "Hurry up and get a doctor. If you delay the baby in sister-in-law's stomach, I'll chop your head off."
Before Lin Wanxin could stop her, Lian Xin had already slipped away.
Looking at Lianxin's back, Lin Wanxin gritted her teeth.
