After Twelve finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the room.

Pei Xiyan pursed her lips and fell into silence. He couldn't figure out the relationship between Xu Cheng and Old Lady Qi. It would be absolutely impossible to say that these two people knew each other before or what happened.

So why did Old Mrs. Qi help Xu Cheng?

Pei Xiyan said in a deep voice, "So continue to report if there is any situation."

Eleven nodded, "Yes."

...

Governor's Office.

Ruyi lives in her house.

Xiao Cui knelt carefully on the ground and pinched her legs for her master. It was neither light nor heavy, but Aunt Mu liked the force.

"Have you said something from the governor?"

"Never."

A sense of indescribable irritation suddenly surged in Mu Ruyan's chest. The less she was, the more she felt more panicked. She would rather supervise the army to punish her a few words than nothing makes people feel uneasy.

"Okay!" She was a little impatient in her voice.

Xiao Cui immediately took her hand away with fear, "Master, why don't I go outside to explore the wind?"

She felt a little guilty, and even regretted that she shouldn't have said those words impulsively. She was so mean to her master, but she had implicated her master and was scolded, which was a typical good intention to do bad things.

Mu Ruyan noticed her caution and blew the slightly hot tea lazily, "You have followed me for many years, and I naturally understand your temperament, but I remember that there are some things that cannot be said just by saying, so you must distinguish the occasion! This time I will only fine you a month's salary. Next time, don't blame me for not being missed with old love."

The last sentence, full of threats.

Xiao Cui bought it from human traffickers after she came to the Governor's Mansion. She was smart and loyal. She was her most capable maid. She also had her father and mother and a few younger brothers and sisters in the family who needed her support, so the salary penalty was the most harsh punishment for her.

Mu Ruyan also thought about letting her kneel down. The punishment that may make people remember is often the most ruthless punishment. It will only make her commit it again next time without pain.

Xiao Cui immediately knelt down and repented with heartache: "Thank you, my master! Xiao Cui must remember! Never talk nonsense again!"

Mu Ruyan put down the teacup and said, "Get up! Go to the kitchen to make some soup..."

Before she finished speaking, she heard a noise outside, "Auntie Xiang, you can't go in! Our aunt is resting."

Shen Xiangdi ignored the maid Xiao Jin who stopped her and broke into the boudoir inside.

A hint of disgust slipped through Mu Ruyan's eyes, and his confidant Xiao Cui quickly asked in a low voice: "Master, why don't I go and help you stop Aunt Xiang?"

Mu Ruyan's voice was faint, "No need."

She knew very well that Shen Xiangdi came to her to find out about Xu Cheng's situation in the hospital and her relationship with the governor. Before Xu Cheng came, she was the most favored concubine in front of the governor, and she would bring her with her any dinner.

Now that her status is threatened, how can she not be nervous?

Especially the one who threatens her status is Xu Cheng, who she previously regarded as a "friend", how ironic it is!

She can use her!

"Sister Mu!"

Shen Xiangdi rushed in with a loud voice, "I heard you went to the hospital to visit Xu Cheng in the afternoon? Have you found out clearly? Will the supervisor come to the mansion and become the seventh concubine when she is injured?"

Mu Ruyan sat up with Xiao Cui's support and sighed slightly, "Xu Cheng is much more scheming than you and I imagined. How can I find out what she thinks? I want to talk to her about others who don't like me..."

Chen Xiangdi opened her eyes wide in disbelief, "No! Sister Mu, you are the gentlest and most considerate good sister! Is Xu Cheng so ungrateful?"

Xiao Cui said with a grudge: "You don't know that Aunt Xiang, Miss Xu is patient! Even an old lady in the hospital helped her to criticize our master, and insisted on treating our kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs. Our master was so angry that his heart attacked!"

Chen Xiangdi was stunned. Thinking that Xu Cheng had just entered the mansion and had coaxed her to protect her everywhere, her face gradually showed contempt, "She has always been scheming, and I think the governor was also confused by her. I heard that the governor stayed in Xu Cheng's ward the night before yesterday, and they..."

Aunt Mu tightened his fingers while holding the veil, and deliberately said with a slow and steady attitude: "Sister Xiang, the governor's love for beauty is well known to all the three provinces of Nanzhou. It is not something we should worry about who he wants to bring into the mansion. Instead of worrying about these, it is better to think more about how to keep the governor's heart. This is the most important thing."

She said "sister" at once, deliberately brought the relationship between the two closer, treated herself as a person who had experienced it, and advised her with great thought.

Chen Xiangdi's anger was immediately aroused by her words, "It's okay for the governor to take anyone into the mansion, but he can't be the scheming bitch Xu Cheng! He once said to me that he didn't like the governor, but he left a deep impression on the governor in front of the governor and even made a bitter plan... No! I must go to the governor to expose her vicious thoughts!"

The more she spoke, the more angry she became, and she wanted to cut Xu Cheng into pieces.

What Aunt Mu wants is this effect. She sneered in her heart, but she advised softly: "Sister, don't think so! Don't be impulsive! The Governor is now... just happy with her. If you run to the Governor to reveal that she will only make the Governor hate you, it's not worth it."

Her words were completely from the heart.

If someone else had listened to the advice, but Chen Xiangdi was not the kind of person who could listen to the advice. She was only 19 years old this year and was loved by the governor. The old sisters and bosses of Paramount all flattered her, which greatly satisfied her vanity.

Even those people in her hometown knew that she was a concubine in the Governor's Mansion, wearing gold and silver every day, living a life of a superior person, which made others envious!

I have enjoyed the best life and everyone’s envy and flattery, so I naturally want to firmly grasp this glory and wealth.

The most important point is that except for Aunt Mu and her in the mansion, the other concubines were all women given to the governor under interest. I still remember that she had just entered the mansion for a month. Aunt Mu held her hand and said enviously: "The governor treats you so well! You must be a unique existence in his heart."

Since then, this sentence has been engraved in her heart, making her elated and making her proud...

Chen Xiangdi snorted disdainfully, "It's not worth talking about me! I must not let the governor be fascinated by a woman like Xu Cheng!"

Mu Ruyan covered her mouth and coughed twice, and a glimmer of success flashed in her drooping black eyes.

Xiao Cui quickly leaned over to help her carry her back, "Master, you are not well yet! I went to the hospital today and blew a cool breeze. You must have a good rest. I'll go see if the medicine is ready."

Aunt Mu lay down with her hand, and still breathed faintly, she advised Chen Xiangdi, "Sister, don't do stupid things, it's not worth it."

Seeing that her face was pale, Chen Xiangdi stopped staying, "Sister Mu, please have a good rest! I won't let you get angry today!"

After saying that, she turned around and left.

After she walked away, Mu Ruyan's lips curled up with a sarcasm, "Silly."
