Chunge was still sitting in the room flipping through the account books. When she saw Li Jian'an walking in with a sullen face, she looked at Lian Zhi who was following him.

Lian Zhi, who always smiled in the past, lowered his head as if to avoid it.

Li Jianan sat on the cushion with green peonies and flowers, took a sip from the tea cup, looked at Chun Ge and said, "Why is it cold?"

Amber hurriedly came up and brought tea to change.

Chun Ge smiled and said: "What's wrong with you? I'm not a tea drinker. You sent someone back at noon today and said that Aunt An was having dinner in her room. The tea was cold, so naturally you didn't ask anyone to change it.

.”

Li Jian'an felt upset when he heard the words "Aunt An". Thinking of a room full of people, he couldn't say it directly.

Just as Amber came up with tea, Li Jianan took it and held it in a hurry, and his fingers accidentally brushed the back of Amber's hand.

A wisp of red clouds flew up on Amber's face, and he secretly looked at Li Jian'an, but only saw Li Jian'an's frowning expression.

Chun Ge accidentally caught a glimpse of Amber's eyes from the side, and her heart skipped a beat.

Li Jian'an had already drank tea, and his mood had calmed down a little. He said to Hu Hu, "Everyone, please go down."

Amber didn't react for a long time, still standing there blankly.

Feicui, who was next to him, looked anxious. He and Hongyu came up one by one and stood next to Amber, "Yes, the Duke of the country."

Almost half-hugging and half-forced, Amber was brought down.

As soon as she went out, Hongyu saw the cold-faced child mother outside, so she pulled Luyu and said she wanted to see if the work in the sewing room was done.

The little maids also hurriedly dispersed.

Jade subconsciously stood in front of Amber. Mother Tong stared at Amber for a long time and said bitterly: "Come with me!"

Amber felt something was wrong, so she followed Mother Tong to a deserted place at the corner of the corridor.

Jade followed up.

After standing still, the child's mother asked mercilessly: "What happened in the house just now!"

Amber trembled, lowered her head and said, "Mother, I just lost my mind." Her voice was like a gnat, and she looked very guilty.

Mother Tong snorted, not believing it at all.

She has lived in our family for so many years. If she can't even see the maid's thoughts, her life will be in vain!

I have been looking at this girl for several days. Ever since I came here with my wife, my eyes have been rolling around on the Duke.

The color is indeed good. Originally, if the wife was in a difficult situation at home, was being ostracized, and needed a helper, she should indeed choose a good one from among the dowry maids.

But the Madam is now on good terms with the Duke. The Duke has not been to rest in other people's houses for such a long time, and the Madam didn't say anything else. Why would she choose someone to trouble the Madam?

No matter how honest you are, after living a good life, you will still have other thoughts.

What's more, Amber has been restless for so long.

Mother Tong thought that Amber had been following Chun Ge for so long, so she decided to give it another try. Dui smiled and said: "You have been following Madam for so long, and you still don't know how to handle things. You can also be distracted in front of the Duke of Guo.

time."

Hearing that Tong's mother's tone had softened, Hu Hu said hastily: "I know I was wrong, and I will never dare to do it again."

Mother Tong hummed and said as if unintentionally: "Speaking of which, you are not young anymore. Are you thinking about your future plans? Please tell me, Madam, you have been taking care of me for so many years. How can you still do it?"

Can I make good arrangements for you?"

When Amber heard this, he looked up hesitantly at the child's mother and saw that her face was full of smiles, her head lowered, and her face was so red it could have been rouge.

"Just follow the lady's orders."

Mother Tong sneered in her heart and said even more warmly: "How can you just obey the madam's orders for such a big matter?"

Although Jade usually talks a lot, she was extra smart today. She had already noticed that something was wrong with Mother Tong's face. Although she was smiling, there was something sharp in her eyes. She wanted to pull Amber to stop talking, but then she saw

The child's mother looked at her with a warning look, and she immediately lowered her head and said nothing.

Amber hesitated for a long time, unable to make up her mind, but thinking about the things she had planned when she was at home, and what she had seen in the Chen family over the years. Then she thought of Chunge's kindness to the maids around her, she hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "

I want to serve you by your side all the time."

In the past, my wife was kind-hearted and did not put on airs. She always liked those close to her to speak directly and never asked anyone to use slaves.

This slave is what I called myself when I was a maid and concubine.

Now that I have said this, I have clearly made up my mind!

Mother Tong sneered again, took a deep look at Hu Hu, and said lightly: "Don't worry, I will always make you happy."

Amber was immediately overjoyed and almost knelt down and kowtowed to the child's mother.

But the child's mother smiled lightly and asked her to go to the small kitchen to make some snacks.

"Master Guo has come so early. I don't know if Aunt An has eaten yet. You should hurry up and make some fresh snacks and make a pot of strong tea."

When he heard that it was for Li Jianan to eat and asked to cook it by himself, Hu Hua smiled brightly, as if he understood something, and hurried to Mei Xiangyuan's small kitchen.

Jade looked at Amber's appearance, feeling anxious and afraid to speak. She wanted to follow her to the kitchen and take the opportunity to say a few words, but Mother Tong grabbed her.

"What are you going to do?"

Jade whispered: "I'm going to help Amber."

The corners of Tong's mother's lips raised, she looked at Jade with bright eyes, and said leisurely: "Are you going to help her make snacks, or do you want to help her serve the lady!"

Serving a lady doesn't mean serving her like a maid!

Jade understands very well.

"Mother Tong, I just want to stay by Madam's side and serve me. Madam will make the decision for me in the future. I don't dare to have other thoughts."

This jade!

Although he talks a little too much and is usually a little stupid, he sees these things much more clearly than Amber, who thinks he is smart.

Mother Tong glanced at Jade with admiration and said calmly: "Since you said so, then just keep an eye on Amber for me for a while. If there is anything wrong with her, tell me quickly."

Jade nodded in agreement, then struggled to look up at the child's mother, "Then Madam..."

Mother Tong smiled and said, "Don't worry, after all, you are the maid who has been with you for so many years. Madam will make good arrangements for you." Then she looked towards the kitchen and said coldly: "It's a pity that others may not accept Madam's favor.

.”

Jade couldn't help but shudder when she heard it.

However, Tong's mother walked straight to the small kitchen. When she arrived at the door, she saw Amber busy making noodles and boiling water alone, even refusing to let others help with firewood, and her eyes became colder and colder.

After watching for a long time, seeing the smile on Amber's face, Tong's mother had no thoughts anymore, rolled up her sleeves and walked back, but she had already made up her mind.

This time, I must not let Madam be so soft-hearted. If she continues to indulge, the maid she brought made a joke before others came to cause trouble. If she loses face, she will not be able to manage the house in the future!
