”I feel so bad. What's the use of us two girls thinking too much?” Lin Zisang shook his head as he lay back.

Ling'er immediately moved closer to her head, muttering, ”That's not certain.”

Even if he wasn't sure, he didn't say anything wrong. Lin Zisang snickered in his heart and closed his eyes. She also felt that the general was extremely good, so good that it made one feel hot just thinking about him. However, in terms of her current status, any thought that went deeper was laughable.

Now that the Yunshan Courtyard had a proper master, their days could no longer go on like before. Although Si Xin Hong did not have much orders, Yunshan Courtyard was still a big courtyard.

Lin Zisang wiped all the tables and chairs in main house with a wet cloth. When he went out to pour some water, he found that Ah Ling was still holding onto a broom, standing in the courtyard as she had stood in front of the door. The small pile of dust and broken leaves on the stone platform were blown away by the wind.

She frowned, walked to the side of the wall and poured out the water in her hands, then turned to look at Ah Ling, ”Ah Ling, if you don't finish sweeping the place, you won't have time to do other work.”

Ah Ling came back to his senses and smiled apologetically. Then, he tilted his head and took a step back, lowering his head to look at the ground, ”I'm not too clear about how to sweep …”

Lin Zisang first looked at her in surprise, and when he realized that Ah Ling was not joking, he patiently pointed to the ground, ”From north to south, from west to east, according to your preferences, sweep everything into a pile, and then put it in a basket at the side and take out the courtyard. Someone will come to take it.”

Ah Ling looked at the ground, sighed, and began to move slowly yet unwillingly.

Lin Zisang then turned his head and brought the bowl back to the kitchen.

Sun mama did not take away the box of fat ointment that he used to use in the Spring Orchid Garden, so she brought it out himself. Now, after all the work had been done, he would soak himself in hot water and then coat himself with it.

In the kitchen, she boiled water and soaked her hands. Just as she was about to take out the fat paste from her bosom and apply it, she heard voices coming from the courtyard.

It was Si Xinhong.

This morning, he was called over by someone from the Old Ancestor's courtyard. He did not come back for a whole afternoon, so he did not know if he had left any for lunch.

There were very few people in the Yunshan Courtyard, and there was not a single person suitable for him to bring over. Si Xinhong said that it would be fine, and only brought Zao Mu there.

Lin Zisang thought about every master she had ever seen in this residence, which one of them wasn't a group of servants that followed his from behind. Now that Si Xinhong had passed away, he should at least get one or two fresh girls to serve him, right?

As she was thinking, she walked out of the kitchen. She saw Zao Mu and Si Xin Hong standing side by side, talking to Ah Ling.

”Earlier, when I left, I said that the ground in this courtyard was unavoidably a little dirty. Why didn't you wait for me to come back?” Si Xin Hong's expression was still considered gentle, but he was looking at Ah Ling with strict eyes. When he saw Lin Zisang coming out from the kitchen, he shifted his gaze and looked at her closely. It was obvious that he treated her as one of his own.

He didn't know what division of labor he had with Ah Ling, so it was natural for him to think this way. Lin Zisang was not angry, but she was not prepared to take responsibility for Ah Ling either.
