Madam Jiang glanced at the crying mother and daughter, thinking of what the young woman had said, and waved her hand at them, saying: "You can go down now." Yuxiu looked at Madam Jiangs expression, reached out and pulled Fang Zhengjia and Jiyi out. She pulled them to the courtyard and said to them: "Quickly wipe away your tears, on this good day of the New Year, if people see you crying as you leave the masters house, wouldnt that be a bad omen?"

  Fang Zhengs family hastily wiped away her tears with her sleeve, lifted her face to look at Yu Xiu, proving that she was obedient. Ji Yan followed suit, wiping away the tears on her small face with her sleeve, and similarly looked up at Yu Xiu. Yu Xiu shook her head and said: "Fang Zhengs family, you should also teach Ji Yan well. I see that there are handkerchiefs in your sleeves, why do you mother and daughter use your sleeves to wipe away tears? Fang Zhengs family, we spent a lot of effort teaching her well, but now shes been with you for just a short while and has become unrefined, like a wild girl."

  Fang Zhengjias heart felt a bit relieved as she took on the responsibility of teaching Yu Xiu. She carefully asked, "Sister Yu Xiu, will Madam still scold us?" Yu Xiu glared at her and glanced at the little maids waiting in the courtyard, signaling them to follow her out. Outside the courtyard, Yu Xiu scolded Fang Zhengjia, "Fang Zhengjia, now that Jiyu has come to work here, what kind of people will she meet? Why didnt you remind her properly behind her back? Now that things have already happened, youre coming here in a flurry?"

  Miss Yu Xiu, I was thinking that shes still young and might not remember even if I remind her. Who knew shed turn out to be so good? Besides, no matter what, the people around my aunts arent someone I dare to gossip about behind their backs. Fortunately, that little maid didnt dare speak nonsense in front of the master, or else Ji Yan would have been affected by her today. Thank you, Miss Yu Xiu, for taking care of Ji Yan today." Ji Yans mother said, and then bowed to Yu Xiu.

  Yu Xiu listened to Fang Zhengs family talking about this and that, looking at the gratitude on her face. Yu Xiu said softly: "Let Jiyuan stay in the courtyard for a few days, dont go out of the third misss yard." After finishing speaking, Yu Xiu quickly turned back into the courtyard. Jiyuans mother pulled her daughter Jiyuan to hurry up and leave, walking halfway, Jiyuans mother saw her own man standing on the side of the road, looking anxiously in this direction. Seeing them, she quickly scanned them with her eyes. She shook her head at the man with a smile, watching him walk away relieved.

  When Ji Yans mother and Ji Yan approached Jiang Wanrus house, there was no one else around. Ji Yans mother slowed down her pace and asked her daughter: "Those words you said today, were they your own thoughts or did someone teach you to say that?" Ji Yan looked up at her mother, then lowered her head and said: "I just thought so and spoke out." Ji Yans small hands rubbed her clothes vigorously.

  "Look at me and tell the truth," said Mrs. Ji, staring at her daughters small hand. After a while, Jiyu looked up at her mother and said, "It was Miss who taught me." Glancing at her mothers expression, she added, "Mother, Miss doesnt like it when I mention her outside. Im afraid in my heart, so I couldnt come find you, I could only go talk to Miss. Miss came to my room and taught me that when facing Master, I should speak from my own heart, not randomly mentioning others wrongs."

  Ji Yans footsteps paused for a moment, then continued forward. She thought of the wooden little face and her own daughters words just now, which were obviously very pleasing. Amidst her panic, she also saw the smile in Madames eyes. She lowered her head to glance at her daughters gaze fixed on her, nodded and said: "In the future, whatever your young mistress says to you, dont spread it outside."

  Also, about the matter of your familys young lady in the courtyard room, you should pretend not to have seen it and know nothing. In the future, when encountering things, still listen more to her words and dont act on your own accord." Ji Yans mother thought that this little woman had never entered the clan school nor been taught by anyone, yet she was so clever and able to protect herself and those around her.

  Ji Yan nodded after listening, and whispered: "Mother, I think the young lady is not stupid at all. She just doesnt like to talk or smile. She understands in her heart that I am hers." Ji Yans mother heard her daughter say this, looked at her with a glance, and said: "You should keep this in mind, dont mention it to anyone in the future. If you do, not only will it harm Miss, but Madame will also not let our family off." Ji Yan immediately nodded understandingly, whispering: "Mother, Ill remember."

  Madam Ji looked at Jiyuan, thinking of the invisible Third Miss. At first, when she was going to send Jiyuan to Third Misss side, she couldnt sleep for many nights. But her husband had insight and said reasonable words: "Madam Fangzheng, Jiyuan is like me, straightforward and wont flatter people. Shes young and will be fine with Third Miss. Ill keep an eye on the Mu Gen family and Mu Gen, and secretly visit her from time to time. I think Third Miss has a good temperament and can tolerate our familys Jiyuan being unreasonable."

  Jiyuans mother did not send Jiyuan into the courtyard, but stood outside and said to her: "In these days, I will come to deliver food for you. You stay in your room and do needlework properly. Dont think about running out to play, your father and brother will find a way to come and see you." Jiyuan nodded at this, and then asked fearfully: "Mother, will the mistress forgive me?" Jiyuans mother heard these words and looked at her saying: "The mistress let us leave first, she knows that you only told the truth, she didnt blame you."

  "Mother didnt tell you clearly before, but now shes telling you once and for all, so remember it in your heart. In the future, when you see the people around your aunts, take a glance and then keep a distance, dont be polite and rush to greet them. If you really cant avoid them, just smile and bow to show respect. As for the young masters and misses attendants, if you run into them, still listen to Sister Yuxius words and learn to respect them. They are not people you should deliberately try to avoid."

  She was young, her mother said a long string of words, relying on her half-understanding ability, at most she could only nod and say: "Mother, I dont quite understand. But I will listen to Mothers words, from now on I wont go out to greet people, these days I have been listening to Yuxiu sisters words, I wont leave the courtyard gate." Jiyan looked at her daughters delicate little face, that face still had uncleaned tear stains, and listened to her obedient answer, with tears in her eyes nodded and said: "Mother will tell you slowly later. You go inside now."

  Ji Yan entered the courtyard and went to Jiang Wans room, telling her everything that had happened. After listening, Jiang Wan nodded calmly and said, "Go back and wash your face with warm water." Before leaving, Ji Yan asked somewhat disbelievingly, "Miss, is this matter really over?" Jiang Wan knew it was over for Ji Yan, but perhaps not for Gui Yu and the new servant girl. Seeing a smile appear on Ji Yans small face after nodding at her, she thought to herself that being young was good, as one could smile again immediately when they knew everything was alright.
