"Your name is Xiaotao, right?" Aunt Mo looked at the dark skin in front of her with gentle eyes. The girl who came to deliver food gently reached out and grabbed the other person.

After waiting for many days, she finally found an opportunity today, sent everyone away, and had the opportunity to talk to the little maid in front of her.

"I'm called Xiaotao." Xiaotao looked at the pair of delicate hands pressed on his wrist, and then looked at his hands that were usually rough because of work, and felt secretly envious.

Aunt Mo touched Xiaotao's palm with thin calluses pity, and put a box of hand protective cream on her table in her hand, and said in a gentle voice: "You look very similar to my deceased sister. When I see you, I feel like I see her. If you hold this hand protective cream, apply it sooner or later, so that your hands can be smooth and moist."

When Xiaotao suddenly received such a good thing, she felt a little uneasy. She shrank her hand suddenly, but Aunt Mo closed her hand: "Girls should cherish themselves and dress up beautifully so that they can find a good family in the future."

After all, I couldn't resist my desire for hand cream in my heart. Aunt Meng's words also touched her a lot. She silently put away the hand cream, and then asked in a low voice: "Auntie, do you need my help?"

How could Xiaotao, who could work in the deep courtyard, not be able to see that Aunt Mo was interested in trying to win over her? Otherwise, she would have to do something. Although knowing that being close to this Aunt would be offended by someone, it would be impossible to buy this hand cream even if you have money. I heard that it was rewarded by the palace. If Aunt Mo had a box, it must be given by the Duke of the State. Unless the emperor rewarded such things, only the Empress in the Palace could use them.

Even the maid who burns fire still has the fantasy of being an empress.

Aunt Mo was very happy that Xiaotao knew the general idea. Although this box of hand cream was a little expensive, it would be worth it if it could be exchanged for someone who did it for her.

She came from the north and only served one mother on the way. After entering the Duke's Mansion, the mother was transferred by Liu. Now all around her were people sent by Liu to monitor her, so she could only start from the people outside the yard.

It doesn’t matter if you burn the fire girl. You can go in and out with freedom, just help her pass the message from outside.

"I have a mother who comes from the north. She has never seen her again since she entered the Duke's Mansion. The lady doesn't allow me to leave the yard. I can't see her even if I want to see her. I heard that she is also working in the Duke's Mansion, so I want you to bring me something for her." Aunt Mo said tears and said that it was so touching. Xiao Tao immediately agreed when she heard that it was such a simple thing: "Don't worry, aunt, Xiao Tao will definitely help you with this small thing."

"That's great!" Aunt Mo quickly wiped away her tears, packed a small package from her own softness, put it in the food box, and placed it solemnly in her hand: "Then I'll trouble you."

Xiaotao watched her flipping things with her own eyes, and she packed up some sachets and handkerchiefs, which were not very expensive items, and she felt a little disappointed.

If the gift was silver, maybe I could still get a little bit.

In case others came back and found out that Aunt Mo had sipped a few bites of the dishes, she asked Xiao Tao to quickly pack the plate and leave.

"Auntie Mo, since you have eaten, I will go down first." Except for the last layer of the package, Xiao Tao folded the plates on it and left respectfully. The maid who walked in found nothing and let her leave the yard.

The first time I did this kind of thing, the little girl was covered in sweat in her palm. After leaving the yard, she felt relieved. However, before he could completely relax, the wet nurse beside her lady came towards her. The wet nurse came over and looked at her with a squint: "Xiao Tao, right? Madam is looking for you, come with me."

Xiao Tao was stunned. She had just left the yard. Could it be that the wife had discovered something, right?

He followed the wet nurse tremblingly, holding the food box in her hand as if submitting a hot potato. When passing by the fish pond, he wanted to throw it into the water.

"Tell me, what did that fox charming man ask you to do?" Liu asked in a hurry while sitting on the chair.

"Auntie, aunt, she..."

"Open the food box and take a look." Impatient Xiao Tao's stuttering, and ordered a simple and rough search: "Let's see if there is anything she shouldn't get."

Xiaotao was so anxious that she was about to cry.

The food box was opened and the package was quickly found. After searching, the box of hand protection cream also came to Liu's hands.

"She is willing to take out the hand protective ointment for the Western Regions to give it to others. Unfortunately, this kind of thing is not something you, a little maid, can use." Liu said slowly.

Xiaotao knelt on the ground and shook like a sieve, and kept begging for mercy: "I will never dare again, please let me go!"

"Drag her down for me and hit twenty boards!" Liu threw the handguard to the ground with a sharp voice.

"Madam! Madam, please spare me!" Xiaotao screamed in horror, kneeling forward and trying to hug Liu's thighs.

20 big boards are enough to take away half of her life. Xiaotao regrets death now, so she shouldn't accept things with greed for cheapness.

"Madam, hurry up." Mother Feng walked in and stopped the wet nurse from catching people, and then said a few words in Liu's ear.

"Okay." Liu frowned and agreed unwillingly.

Mother Feng immediately took away all the people and the stolen goods.

"Is that all?" Xiao Xiaozai carefully looked at the sachets and handkerchiefs and found nothing strange. Perhaps it was the first time that an outsider brought something, and Aunt Mo just tried it, but she didn't rule out that there was a secret code inside that only they knew. Xiao Xiao threw it into the brazier.

"Let her go."

Xiaotao feels very relieved.

"Remember, if Aunt Mo asks, you say you have sent the things and hand them over to her." Xiao Xiao took out a letter that imitated the handwriting of the mother and handed it over, which was filled with words like "You are doing well, don't worry about your aunt, how is your aunt's life?" and put the handguard cream in her hand: "You can also take this. If Aunt Mo gives you anything in the future, just keep it."

Xiao Tao came out of Xiao Xiao, took the handguard cream he had received, and had the illusion that he had not woken up from a nightmare.

Whether it is Liu or Xiao Xiao, they act in a very secretive manner. Only the people on both sides know that there may be the secret guard of the Duke, but Xiao Xiao is confident that the cheap son will not tell others about this.

Since what Xiao Xiao said to him last time, he decided to keep a low profile. He took a leave of absence in the court in the name of filial piety to his old mother, and then closed the door and restrained his subordinates. The Duke's mansion became much quieter, and it was no longer the grand occasion of the crowded city in the past few days.
