Chapter 2427: Chapter 2427: What Bad Luck!
“Heh.”
An Jiuyue let out a cold laugh.
Her skin is delicate?
These past few years, she has been running around the mountains every day, and still has more delicate skin than this maid who keeps clamoring to take care of the two little masters inside the house?
If she and Lan’er were to go outside together right now, people would probably think Lan’er is the young mistress, right?
If it weren’t for her being far away in An Clan Village and unwilling to just switch to an unfamiliar maid, she really wouldn’t want this maid to stay by her side.
However, she will be returning to the capital soon. Once she’s in the capital, she’ll immediately replace this maid who can’t endure half the hardships she can. Keeping her around is practically useless.
“You have time to chat idly with me, but you might as well hurry and wash the mushrooms and get them out to dry.”
“Yes, miss… I’ll go right away.”
Lan’er felt a bit reluctant inside, but still followed orders and went to wash the mushrooms.
Just wait. When they return to the capital, whoever wants to follow the young mistress can, but she won’t come back again.
In these years, she has suffered enough. She must enjoy a few years of comfort in the capital. Even if she remains a maid, it matters where she is a maid.
If she’s at the prince’s mansion, she, as a first-class maid, wouldn’t find it hard, right?
…
The first stop for Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue, with the little baby, was the little treehouse in An Clan Village.
Ever since hearing that his mother used to live in a tree, the little baby had been clamoring to come see it and also wanted to stay in the treehouse. He had almost forgotten his wish to return to Huayan Peak for the purpose of bringing his family’s ‘Fairy’ to kill demonic beasts.
As soon as they reached the village, before they had a chance to go up the mountain, they saw two aunties coming down with bamboo baskets on their backs, filled with lots of mushrooms.
“Whose daughter is this, bringing her husband back to visit her family? Why do they look unfamiliar?”
One of the aunties glanced at An Jiuyue and the two others, murmuring to her companion beside her. These two people were dressed lavishly, clearly not from their village.
But no daughters from their village had married so well, had they?
There were two families whose daughters were sold off as concubines to wealthy households, but they recognized them, and they didn’t look like these folks.
“I haven’t seen them before either.”
The other auntie also took a careful look at An Jiuyue and her group.
“Sister Mei, look at the little one, so adorable, like the lucky doll in New Year posters, all rosy and tender, tsk tsk.”
Seeing Little Nuonuo in Qian Jiyun’s arms, both of their eyes were filled with envy. In the village, who didn’t have kids rolling around in the dirt? Besides, none of them were that delicate-looking.
It was obvious at a glance that this was a child who was well-fed and cared for.
“Who says otherwise? But which family does this couple belong to? Why are they heading up the mountain when visiting the daughter-in-law’s family?” Auntie Mei’s eyes kept focusing on the little baby.
If only he were her child, that would be wonderful. Alas, her daughter-in-law was like a hen that wouldn’t lay eggs. After giving birth to a daughter, her belly never showed any signs of activity again.
Thinking about it was indeed frustrating!
“Let’s not talk about them. Sister Mei, didn’t you mention last time that you wanted to match your nephew with Miss Yiyun from the mountain? Any result yet?” the other auntie asked.
“Ah, don’t even mention it.”
Auntie Mei shook her head. Thinking about it made her feel dejected.
“My nephew has taken a liking to Miss Yiyun, but the girl isn’t interested at all. She turned me down outright. I really don’t get it. What exactly is a young girl’s high standards for? My nephew is a scholar, more than good enough for her.”
