The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space

Chapter 1742: Chapter 1742: Success Depends on Effort (2)

It’s quite normal for Virtuous Concubine Xiao Jin to keep an eye on Gu Qingheng. After all, she is the mother of Prince Yun. Since we’ve sided with the Crown Prince, we’re naturally at odds with Prince Yun.

But what’s the situation with Concubine Cui Meng? She doesn’t have any children. Actually, it’s not that she never had children; she did have a son once. However, back then, she was merely a consort and not particularly favored. Later, her son died young, which aroused a bit of pity from the Emperor, and she was promoted to concubine.

For many years, Concubine Cui Meng has been quietly devoted, eating vegetarian meals and praying. It’s unexpected that even she has sent people to spy on Gu Qingheng now, which is rather perplexing.

Perhaps she should consider developing some informants in the palace over time. Although this idea seems a bit far-fetched, efforts can achieve anything. Anyway, she’s not in a rush and can wait for the right opportunity.

”I understand.” Gu Di smiled. Sister Ruxin is truly formidable; only with such a mistress can the General focus on his work without distractions.

Initially, both he and Shadow One had some concerns. After all, no matter how capable Sister Ruxin is, she is still a village girl. Her vision and scope can’t compare to the mistress of an Aristocratic Family. What would happen when they enter Beijing? Now it seems their worries were unfounded. Sister Ruxin has effective means to deal with the most difficult women and handles both covert and overt schemes with ease.

”Also, the one named Arong was sent by Gu Sheng. You must give him a chance to contact your General.” Yang Ruxin stopped Gu Di, who was about to leave, ”Otherwise, you would be letting Gu Sheng’s goodwill go to waste.”

”I understand.” Gu Di said with a smile as he went out.

Soon, Nanny Lou led a few people to Hengxin Pavilion and offered their respects to Yang Ruxin.

”It will be tough on everyone from now on.” Yang Ruxin instructed Du Juan to reward each person with a purse. ”There aren’t many rules here, just do your part well. Of course, when there are outsiders, we must uphold the dignity of the General Residence, as it’s everyone’s dignity, too...”

Everyone respectfully agreed.

”Nanny Lou, Hengxin Pavilion will be in your care from now on.” Yang Ruxin personally helped Lou Family up.

Nanny Lou hastily expressed gratitude and loyalty, ”Madam, don’t worry. This old servant will definitely do her work well.”

Du Juan went over to support Lun Yi and Hong Yi, ”Sister Hong Yi, Sister Lun Yi, I’ve been offensive before. From now on, we’re like one family... I come from the village and know nothing about Beijing, so our madam will need much advice from both sisters.”

Lun Yi was trained by Concubine Cui Meng, and her nature naturally followed Cui Meng’s, being discreet and steady. Previously, she knew she had spoiled her mistress’s affairs due to distraction, but unexpectedly, today she was promoted to serve closely at Yang Ruxin’s side as a big maid. She didn’t think it was good fortune; instead, she inexplicably felt she couldn’t quite understand this village girl, so she became even more cautious. Seeing Du Juan lowering herself like this, she hurriedly responded with sincerity and fear, ”Sister Du Juan, you’re too courteous. The madam is gracious not to despise the servants for being dull. It’s truly the fortune of the servants. We will certainly fulfill our duties well in the future.”

Hong Yi is one of Virtuous Concubine Xiao Jin’s people, so naturally, her disposition leans towards her mistress. Because Xiao Jin oversees the harem, she holds a sense of superiority in front of other servants. At this moment, it’s no exception. Although she appeared respectful and obedient, her heart was filled with dissatisfaction, and this discontent showed through her expressions and gaze.
