Yu Linglong looked at the two maids helplessly . In just a few days, even Xuan Cao and Ling’er had such a good impression of Xiao Ying, but it seemed that she was still a bitte to start .
It seemed that even Xuan Cao and Ling’er felt chilled by the time she had made an example of her .
Yu Linglong beckoned for the two maids toe over . Xuan Cao and Ling’er put down their work and stood beside Yu Linglong obediently .
“You two are not young anymore . How do you look at things only on the surface? Is it possible that you thought she was a good person because she was diligent and gave you a few candies?”
Both Xuan Cao and Ling’er were startled, and their confused eyes stared at Yu Linglong nkly .
“You two heard it just now . This Xiao Ying won the little maids over after entering the yard and taking the initiative to sweep the yard . You don’t want to think about why? Do you really think she is just a kind-hearted person?”
Ling’er reacted first: “Miss, what do you mean, does she have another n?”
Xuan Cao also hesitated and said, “At first, I felt she was a little strange . The job of sweeping the yard is tiring and unpleasant . Why did Xiao Ying take this job as soon as she came? Later, I saw that she worked hard and had a good rtionship with others . Well, I didn’t take it seriously . ”
Yu Linglong sneered and said, “She worked hard? This girl is really kind!”
Was it possible that this maid who came from Mu Shi’s yard, but fell into the hands of an unfavorable concubine to do rough work, had no idea?
She dragged her fingers across the clear-textured rosewood tabletop, but her faint voice was cold: “Think about why everyone else is doing needlework in the room, or helping in the kitchen, but Xiaoying is willing to suffer from the wind and sun in the yard? She wooed the little maid to inquire about the news because the little maid in our yard was bought from outside . Without so much scheming and caution, and just a few pieces of candy, she can find out a lot of news . ”
These few words made Ling’er’s face flush, and she lowered her head and whispered: “I’ve been careless . ”
Yu Linglong continued: “While cleaning the yard, she can justifiably see who ising and going, and she can even see the every move of Lord Xu . Why should I keep such a person? So she can report back to the olddy?”
Xuan Cao was shocked, and she also looked ashamed: “It’s my fault, I didn’t expect thisyer . ”
Yu Linglong gently shook her head: “I don’t me you . One of you is young and the other has not experienced the pickles of these big houses . You considered her a good person only from looking at her sweet words and hard work, and I can’t me you . But since we live here, we should pay more attention to everything . Don’t be sold and help people count their money!”
Xuan Cao and Ling’er lowered their heads convincingly: “We will remember . ”
Yu Linglong thought for a while and then said, “The remaining three will probably be honest after today’s affairs, but don’t neglect them . Look at them more closely . Take that Tong Hua out of the kitchen . You two will handle everything I eat . ”
Xuan Cao and Ling’er responded in unison: “Yes . ”
...
The weather was getting hotter day by day, and there was nothing happeningtely . Yu Linglong was toozy to go out . Although this ancient house was a bit narrow and short, it had a great advantage: it was warm in the winter and cool in the summer . Now, it was hot as fire outside, but the room was very shady . The one or two hours afternoon was still a bit difficult, so Yu Linglong chose to take a nap at this time .
She was asleep this afternoon, and she could not hear the sound of someone walking outside and the low voice of a maidservant . She was speaking very fast, and it seemed that something major had happened .

Yu Linglong was always alert, but her voice was very low, so she did not wake up .
When she opened her eyes, there was still a scorching sun outside the edge of the window . It seemed that she hadn’t slept for long . This was the hottest time of the day .
She frowned slightly, got up, and walked out . She said as she walked: “Who’s outside?”
Xuan Cao came in: “Has the youngdy woken up? It was a maid who was running errands from the second door . She said that someone brought you a gift . ”
Yu Linglong couldn’t help feeling angry . In ancient times, she had no rtives and no friends . Who would give her, the daughter of amoner, a gift? She knew in her soul, it must be that cockroach who she couldn’t kill .
“No! Where did they bring it from? Take it back!”
The expression on Xuan Cao’s face was very strange: “Miss, you should go check it out . If you let them bring it back...I’m afraid it will be gone . ”
“If it’s gone, then it’s gone . I don’t want it!” Her ck onyx eyes swept towards Xuan Cao, looking impatient .
When did Xuan Cao start disobeying orders?
Xuan Cao sighed: “It doesn’t matter if it’s gone, but if someone thinks that thedy has epted it, what would you do?”
Yu Linglong frowned with anger . If the gift-giving guy stood in front of her at this moment, she would definitely blow off his head .
“Then bring it in quickly!”
Xuan Cao looked dumbfounded: “Miss, you’d better go out and see . The thing is left at the gate and they can’t pull it in . ”
Yu Linglong suppressed the anger in her heart, put on an outer shirt, and strode out .
She wanted to see what else this guy was going to do!
Xuan Cao quickly grabbed a parasol and chased her out: “Miss, slow down! The sun is very strong outside!”
...
Looking at the thing at the gate, and then at the pointing people on the street, Yu Linglong finally understood why Xuan Cao was betweenughter and tears .
An ice sculpture nearly two meters high was ced in front of the gate of the Yu mansion . Although he had deliberately picked a shady ce, it had already begun to melt . Arge puddle of water had umted on the ground, and more ice water was slowly flowing down from the ice sculpture .
The ice sculpture was shaped like a tall woman in a long skirt . It was a pity that it melted too fast, and the facial features were already blurred, looking very strange .
The people on the street obviously had never seen such a thing, and they were all looking at it with interest, and a few of their words floated to Yu Linglong’s ears .
“Such a big piece of ice, it’s really rare!”
“It’s such arge scale, I don’t know how much money it cost!”
“What do you know, it’s so hot now, there is nowhere to buy it even if you have money!”
Only then did Yu Linglong remember one thing: ancient ice seemed to be very valuable?
At this time, there were no refrigerators or freezers . If you wanted to make ice, you had to build your own ice cer . You could pour the ice cubes in the winter and use them in the summer . Usually, they were crushed for icy fruit or sour plum soup . It was too extravagant to be able to take out such arge piece for the purpose of sculpting a statue, it was really too extravagant .
ncing aside to see the lively Yu house gatekeepers, Yu Linglong said angrily: “Why haven’t you carried this away!”
The gatekeepers didn’t expect that they would get pulled into this and were shocked: “In response to the Fourth Lady, I...I can’t move it!”
Yu Linglong said angrily: “Then break it with a hammer and move it piece by piece!”
The people who were nearby heard this and came forward to join in the fun: “Miss, if you break such a big piece of ice, it would be too violent, right?”
With a sweep of her beautiful eyes, Yu Linglong said coldly: “Then I’ll give it to you! Let it disappear from here!”
The person smiled and said: “This youngdy is too high to look at me, how can I have such a great ability?”
But these words reminded Yu Linglong of something . She raised her eyes to look at the onlookers and immediately had an idea .
