Chapter 13: The Affair Exposed (Part 2)

Affair Exposed (Part 2)

"Second Miss, you're back." As soon as she entered the courtyard, she happened to run into Yin Yan, who was returning with dinner in two food boxes—a small one belonging to Yi'er, and a larger one for her and Granny Yin.

"It's just in time for dinner. Where would the Second Miss like to have it?"

Yi'er scanned the courtyard. It was massive; she couldn't occupy much of it alone with only two servants, but since Madam Rou had said this courtyard was given to her, then the main house of this courtyard belonged to her.

It was just that the main courtyard was too large, having only opened up the front courtyard so far.

"Set it in the hall."

"Yes." Yin Yan carried the food boxes inside, and after a short while, she came back out with the larger food containers and went back in again with a basin of water... quite a flurry of activity...

Yi'er had not experienced such treatment since arriving in this world. In her past life, everything had been self-sufficient, so she found herself somewhat unaccustomed to it for a moment. Fortunately, everyone knew that this young lady's temperament was not lively—she was even somewhat eccentric. Regardless of the master-servant dynamic, since it was their first time meeting, Yin Yan was not overly enthusiastic or fawning... she was simply calm and composed, which made it easier for Yi'er to accept.

Speaking of which, "a person leads the kind of troops they are," and the people personally trained by Madam Rou were indeed not bad at all.

Within a few words, Yin Yan had already found the way to interact with her mistress: do not be too intimate, just fulfill one's duties!! She also understood just how cold and aloof this Second Miss was!!

However, the Second Miss's coldness was not something that had happened overnight. Having a biological mother like that, it was no wonder the Second Miss was so aloof...

…………

Yi'er was very satisfied with the Golden Bamboo Courtyard. The place was large enough, there were few people, and most importantly, there was the wonderful thing called Golden Bamboo.

And without Madam Wu, she was even more free. Madam Rou was actually quite a tolerant concubine; she treated Zhu Tingxu's concubine-born daughter quite well. Although there was indeed a difference compared to a biological child, she at least strove for fairness. Basically, whatever her two biological children had, the two daughters had as well. Perhaps it was because Madam Wu's incident had been discovered that she was even more tolerant toward Yi'er!! Because of this, Yi'er also felt more at ease!!

The free Yi'er continued to practice her skills every day. Not only did she practice the techniques taught by her master in her past life, but she also worked even harder to train this body!!

As the daughter of Zhu Tingxu, she naturally learned the "martial arts" of this world, but she was only at the first stage, so what she could learn were only the most basic things... training strength, speed, physical coordination, and so on. There were also forms, but they were extremely simple...
