18 Reward By Name

It had to be said that Hai Xing was short-sighted. If her sister was a good one, she could climb up with her own ability in the future. Not only would no one say anything, but they would also think that she was capable.

Now that she had offended the head maidservant, even if her younger sister became a second-rank maid, would she have a good life in the future?

Yue Yuan looked at Hai Xing with eyes full of sarcasm.

She had chosen to speak at this time because she had calculated that the old lady would not reject her wishes on account of the happy occasion.

That's right, the old lady was kind and naturally would not refute.

But just looking at the future, how long would her sister be able to stay in this position?

Hai Xing couldn't see the contempt in Yue Yuan's eyes, or maybe she didn't care. She just thought that as long as the old lady agreed, everything would be fine. As for what would happen in the future, her brain probably couldn't think so far.

She only knew that as long as her younger sister was in the residence, even if she married out, she could use her younger sister to build a relationship with the Pei Residence. In the future, it would also be convenient for her to do anything.

When the old lady heard this, she muttered to herself. She still remembered that she had said that she would make Hai Tang a second-rank servant girl.

Although she was not as noble as the emperor, she had no reason to go back on her words.

It was just that at this critical moment, such a request was made in the face of a happy event, and she could not refuse it. Thinking about it, she was afraid that she had to first wrong Hai Tang and find an opportunity to make it up to her in the future.

The smile on the old lady's face faded a little as she said, "If that's the case..."

"Old lady! Reporting to old lady, the Prince has asked someone to send something back!"

A voice came from outside the door.

The house immediately exploded. At this moment, everyone's attention was attracted by the two words 'Prince.'

The old lady held onto her walking stick and stood up excitedly. "Quickly, invite the messenger in!"

The curtain opened and an old woman came in. "Reporting to the old lady, the messenger said that the Prince had won a war outside the Great Wall and had obtained many good things. He had all of them sent home to show respect to the old lady. The Prince has done everything well. Besides the old lady, he has also taken care of the second and third branches."

The old lady was grinning from ear to ear. "This child has always been thorough in his work. Let me take a look at the letter first."

When had Prince Pei not brought home a letter? He would definitely make the old lady laugh in the letter.

Halfway through her disbelieving speech, the old lady could not help but burst out laughing. "He said that he had beaten his enemy into a pulp and even treated him as his son. That person is one round older than him. Hahaha, how shameless."

"The Prince is just trying to bring down the enemy's prestige," Yue Yuan laughed as well.

"He's only rude to his enemies, but he knows his limits to his own people." The old lady smiled and nodded.

With that, the old lady continued to read the letter. She read it word by word slowly, afraid that she would miss a word.

During this period, everyone held their breath and waited quietly. No one dared to disturb the old lady.

Even Hai Xing, who was anxious, didn't dare to disturb the old lady.

No matter how insensible a person was, at this time, they should also know which was more important between their own matters and the Prince's matters.

When the old lady finished reading the letter, she might be in a good mood and even give her a reward. Thinking of this, Hai Xing felt lucky.

After reading the letter, the old lady's mood was extremely good.

Only then did the old woman hand over the list of gifts. Every time, it was like this. The old lady would look through the gifts first before distributing them.

At the end of the list of gifts, the names of Hua Hao and Yue Yuan were on it. The old lady did not say anything.

This grandson of hers was just like that. He was also attentive to the maidservants who could take care of her, and they would not miss out on the gifts that were sent back.

This grace was also a kind of expectation for the other servants. As long as they served the old lady well, they would be rewarded in the future.

"You two also received gifts..." The old lady smiled.

Hua Hao and Yue Yuan followed suit and bowed to express their thanks.

The old lady also smiled and was about to put down the list, but she realized that there was still a name at the end.

"Hai Tang?" she asked.

These words shocked everyone.

Everyone looked at the old lady and then at Hai Tang, their eyes full of disbelief.

Especially Hai Xing and Hai Chun, who looked at Hai Tang as if they could eat her.

How could the Yong Master mention such a lowly servant girl? There must be a mistake, or it was someone else with the same name. It couldn't be Hai Tang.

Qu Fulan also thought the same. She had only been in the Pei Residence for a short time. How could Prince Pei know of her existence?

Prince Pei was the nemesis of the male protagonist in the book. He was Nan Shiqing and Bei Chengan. He was the only person in the book who could be on par with Xiao Shiqing.

In the book, it was written that he was an elegant young master with a gentle smile on his face, who looked easy to talk to, but in fact, he could take a person's life with a smile.

Prince Pei was unfathomable, and few people could guess what he was thinking. However, he was a person who clearly distinguished between kindness and grudges. He admired talents, and at the same time, he did not like others to play tricks in front of him.

The old woman explained, "The person who delivered the letter said that the Prince knew that the old lady was suffering from insomnia. Even the doctors in the capital could not cure her. The Prince was worried about the old lady's health and searched everywhere for good medicine. However, good medicine is difficult to find. Until now, there are still a few medicines that he could not find. Unexpectedly, he heard that the old lady's insomnia was cured by a servant girl called Hai Tang, so he expressed his gratitude."

The old lady was at home and there were too many people who cared for her. Today, relatives came, and tomorrow, relatives came. The daughter-in-law in the family woke up every morning and was very filial. She would not deliberately compare who was more filial.

Now that her grandson had pointed it out, she realized that Hai Tang had contributed the most to her insomnia. Even as a maidservant, she should be rewarded so that she would not be treated unfairly.

The old lady thought it through and nodded. "He's so thoughtful and clear about rewards and punishments. Since that's the case, we'll follow the arrangements."

In an instant, Qu Fulan became the object of everyone's envy. Everyone cast envious looks at her. As for whether they were jealous or not, she was not in the mood to distinguish.

Hua Hao and Yue Yuan were servant girls with a pattern. They would not be unhappy because Hai Tang had received this honor like them. Instead, they felt that it should be like this.

"Good sister, your good fortune is here. Hurry up and thank the old lady," Yue Yuan said to Hai Tang.

Qu Fulan quickly thanked the old lady.

"When the Prince returns, you can thank him. I won't accept this favor," the old lady said with a smile.

The crowd laughed again.

Now, Hai Tang's name could be considered to have made a name for herself in the Pei Residence.

Hai Chun and Hai Xing were both anxious. Hai Chun was still thinking about being promoted to a second-rank servant girl and kept pulling on her sister's clothes.

How could Hai Xing not be anxious?

She found an opportunity to bring up the matter just now to the old lady.

"After hearing the good news, the children have come to congratulate the old lady."

Second Madam and Third Madam came in from the door, followed by the young ladies of the residence.

In an instant, the old lady's Fushou Hall became lively again.

The maidservants were busy serving tea and pouring water. Hai Xing and Hai Chun were pushed to the side, and the situation suddenly became awkward.

She knew that irrelevant people would be asked to leave, so she gritted her teeth and knelt down in front of the old lady again.

"Old lady..."
