Children of Loulan

Chapter 111 A new look

In desperation, he had to suppress the anger in his heart and accept the cruel reality before him. He sighed deeply and said:

"Since you insist on changing it, then we will go back and arrange for someone to replace all the doors, windows, tables and chairs here. Please wait here for a while."

As soon as he finished speaking, the deputy general manager turned around and left without looking back, as if he didn't want to stay any longer. At the same time, Dale also breathed a sigh of relief. Since they stepped out of the Yunhe Hall today, they have encountered two deliberate embarrassments, but fortunately, the deputy general manager gave in in the end.

Dar was secretly happy but also afraid, but she remained calm and bowed down: "Thank you, Deputy Manager. Take care!"

After the deputy chief steward left, Dar turned to the other maids and eunuchs and said, "Okay, continue dismantling!"

After saying this, she became even more frightened, and her original intention to go to the small kitchen to check disappeared instantly. So, she turned around without hesitation and walked straight into the young lady's inner room with staggering steps.

At this moment, she seemed to have lost control of her body, and every step she took was extremely difficult. Perhaps it was because she had just acted too arrogantly, or perhaps it was because she was too nervous, she felt as if her feet were stepping on cotton, with no sense of solidity. She even didn't hear the unanimous "Yes!" from the crowd behind her.

It was not until she stepped into the inner room and saw Bayer that she suddenly felt dizzy, her legs went weak, and she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Bayer was paying full attention to everything happening outside the house and had been waiting at the door of the inner room for her return. Therefore, when he noticed that she was unstable, Bayer quickly reached out to support her and asked with concern: "Sister, are you okay?"

As she supported Dale, she suddenly noticed that her sister's palms were full of sweat. So she hurriedly helped her sister sit down. They had just moved to this place and couldn't even find a cup of hot water. She wanted to go to the kitchenette, but she was really worried about leaving her sister here alone, so she could only hold her hand tightly and wait for her emotions to stabilize a little before asking again: "Sister, how are you?"

Dahl shook his head gently, then cast his gaze on the man still unconscious on the bed, his eyes full of pity. After a moment, she closed her eyes again, sighed deeply and said, "It's nothing!"

After making sure that his sister was fine, Bayer anxiously asked, "Sister, are the things you and the eunuch just said true? Will someone else really stand up to seek justice for the young lady? Or did you lie to him?"

Dar stared at his sister who was full of expectation, with a bitter smile on his face, and replied: "Silly sister, we have only been in the palace for a few days. How can you have a friend who can share life and death with you? We live together every day, don't you know? I just said that to make a bet with him."

Bayer asked in confusion: "Bet? What?"

Seeing his sister's puzzled face, Dar sighed and said, "The bet is about who is more willing to risk his life. We are just humble maids with nothing but our lives left, so I dare to bet. But he doesn't dare. He is now the deputy steward, and he will surely take over the position of steward in a few years! His future is bright, how could he be willing to give up the wealth and better future in front of him! Because of this, even if he guessed that I might be lying to him, he didn't dare to bet. What if it's true?"

Bayer nodded thoughtfully. She looked at Dahl and said, "Sister, you stay here to look after the young lady! I'll go to the kitchen to clean up and boil some water!"

Dahl responded, "Well, go ahead!"

After watching her sister leave, Dar walked to the bedside and gently held Hanguli's hand. Her voice was as gentle as the wind, "Miss, did you hear me? Without you, we slaves would have a hard time surviving in this palace. Just think of it as our sake, be strong, and wake up, okay?"

Originally, Dahl thought that even if she succeeded in threatening the deputy chief steward, it would take at least two or three years to replace all the furniture, doors and windows in Yuexiju. However, unexpectedly, not long after the deputy chief steward left, someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs delivered the goods to the door. These people didn't even bother to check the quantity, and just delivered the things carelessly, and then started to install the doors and windows without saying a word.

It would have taken several days to clean up the courtyard, but now, thanks to the concerted efforts of the people sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Madam Zhao, it was completed in just half a day! Bayer was dumbfounded by what was happening. She stared blankly at the newly renovated courtyard and asked in confusion, "Sister, when did they check the quantity of the goods? Why didn't I see anything?"

Dahl smiled slightly and replied softly, "I think they probably checked the relevant numbers before to deal with the people who moved here."

Bayer nodded in agreement, and then seemed to suddenly remember something, and continued: "The people sent by Madam Zhao to assist us and the people sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs today have already left. Not only that, Madam Zhao just sent someone to deliver some food, saying that this is the monthly supply that my dear husband deserves, and also told us to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to collect our monthly allowance in the future!"

Dar stared at her and asked, "In addition to these foods, did Madam Zhao give us silver?"

Bayer shook his head, a trace of confusion appeared on his face, and asked puzzledly: "Why would she give us money for no reason? Sister, what are you thinking about?"

Dar rolled his eyes helplessly and responded unhappily, "In the palace, every master has a fixed monthly allowance. In the past, since we have always lived in Yunhe Palace, Madam Zhao was the head lady, so it was understandable that she accepted the money. But now that we have moved out of Yunhe Palace, how can she not return the money to us?"

Baier said indifferently, "If you don't want to give it, then don't give it. Anyway, you can go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs every month to get the monthly payment, and you have food and drink. It doesn't matter. What's more, you don't need money here in the palace. Oh, sister, I saw that the door of the small kitchen in the backyard was full of broken wooden strips of doors and windows, and weeds hanging out to dry. They all said that you ordered it. Sister, why did you keep those things?"

Dahl felt helpless in front of this innocent and simple-minded sister. Her face was calm and she said calmly, "You don't understand. Although life seems good now, what will happen in the future? In this palace, people always flatter the powerful and bully the weak. Our young lady is not favored and lives in such an ominous place. It may not be a problem to make a living in the short term, but in the long run, we must rely on ourselves."
