Master Bao, who was used to being domineering in the Anxi Marquis' Mansion and even in the whole Tianshui, was very unhappy. That little girl was actually more awesome than him. She walked past him with her head held high without even glancing at him. Why was she so awesome
When the little girl passed by him, Master Bao could still see the beautiful blush on her delicate and fair face, her watery eyes like black pearls, and when the corners of her clothes swayed, there seemed to be a faint fragrance coming from her.
"Tell me, how could she be like this?" Master Bao was unhappy after being ignored, and angrily pulled Baihao to seek justice.
Baihao narrowed his eyes and looked at his useless master. He felt pain in his back teeth. He nodded and agreed, "Second Master is right. Second Madam is going too far!"
As Mingyu and Lixiang walked out of the gate of Furong Garden, they ran into Nanny Tan who came to look for her. It was not because Nanny Tan was loyal to her master and worried that something might have happened to Mingyu after not returning to Yiqing Courtyard for so long, but because Nanny Tan was afraid that she might have lost the "important information".
Seeing Nanny Tan, Mingyu's expression remained unchanged. She nodded to Nanny Tan and continued walking forward without saying a word. In Furong Garden, Master Bao had a sullen face and was staring at the little girl's back stealthily. After his eyes met with Nanny Tan in the air, he quickly turned his head away as if nothing had happened.
Nanny Tan looked at Mingyu blankly, then at Master Bao who was pretending to appreciate the lotus. Oh my God, what happened here that she didn't know about? Nanny Tan only hated her old arms and legs. She didn't run fast enough just now and missed the important content. However, this did not affect Nanny Tan, who took gossip as her duty, and she made up countless reasons for this scene.
No matter what, the result made Nanny Tan excited. She finally had some useful information to report to the Madam. The Second Master and the Second Mistress were not getting along. This was huge news, enough to put Old Wei above them!
Mingyu walked forward a few steps, then stopped and smiled, "I forgot that the eldest lady is going to Furong Garden to look for me. Lixiang, go and tell the eldest lady that I was not feeling well and could not accompany her to paint lotus flowers. I will play with her another day."
Li Xiang nodded and turned to walk towards Aunt Yu's courtyard. Only Nanny Tan was left to accompany Mingyu. Mingyu smiled at Nanny Tan, who was full of thoughts, revealing a row of white and neat teeth. "Thank you, Nanny, to accompany me back to Yiqing Courtyard."
Nanny Tan came back to her senses from the great discovery she had just made. She looked at Mingyu with a much friendlier look and nodded hurriedly, saying with a smile, "Second Madam, you are too polite. I am really sorry for this old servant."
However, what surprised Nanny Tan was that after she had observed for a long time, Mingyu was in a normal state without any abnormal reaction. As usual, she practiced calligraphy for a while and then sat in front of the window reading and drinking tea. If Nanny Tan had not seen Mingyu, she would have thought that the room was quiet and no one was there. Mingyu, this master, was so easy to serve that it was outrageous. Nanny Tan's heart was also beating, and she was a little uncertain about the facts she had imagined.
Mingyu stared at the book without reading a single word. If Nanny Tan was a careful observer, she would have noticed that after a long time, the book in front of Second Madam was still the same page and her gaze was still fixed on that spot.
Mingyu's anger that had gradually subsided due to Sima Hong's ridiculous and childish behavior today surged up again. Ah, bah, bah, what right did that young dog have to act arrogantly in front of her? A naive and soft-hearted boy who thought he was romantic and unrestrained, and helped others count the money after being sold! She was unlucky for eight lifetimes to have met a guy like Bao Erye. He wasted air when he was alive and wasted cemetery space when he died. If Sima Chang said his surname, he would be ashamed and unable to rest in peace in his grave.
Not long after, Lixiang came back with a string of copper coins tied with a red string, about twenty in total. She nervously handed it to Mingyu's desk and said, "Second Madam, I told the eldest lady that you were not feeling well. Before leaving, Aunt Yu insisted that I accept the money."
Mingyu smiled and nodded, saying, "Since it's for you, you should take it." Mingyu was not liked by the mistress, so naturally no one tried to curry favor with Lixiang. It was also the first time that Lixiang received so much reward money from her mistress, and she was very nervous. This Yu concubine was generous. She had been with the Marquis for so many years, and she probably saved a lot of money. She probably didn't care about such a small amount of money. Mingyu remembered the red coral hairpin that Yu concubine wore on her head when she entered the house. With just one hairpin, she looked down on Miao's full head of pearls and jade. She must have been very dissatisfied with the mistress.
At night, Nanny Tan had not yet decided whether to report to the mistress. She stood in the room, distracted. Mingyu was very considerate and said with a smile: "Mammy, are you feeling unwell? Go back and rest for a while and come back tomorrow." Is there such a good master as her? She even gave the traitor time to report.
Suddenly, Nanny Tan felt like she was caught, and she perked up immediately, waving her hands and saying, "No, no, I'm just old and sleepy." Having said that, Nanny Tan still took the opportunity to bring Mingyu dinner and went out for a walk.
After Mingyu finished her meal, Nanny Tan said mysteriously, "Second Madam, I just heard a piece of news. Madam has arranged to marry Miss Yingrong, who served Second Master, to the son of the village manager. Someone was sent to bring Miss Yingrong over this morning, and they got married at noon."
When she said this, Nanny Tan carefully observed Mingyu's expression. The little girl just curled her lips, the smile did not reach her eyes, and her tone was nonchalant, "Is that so? She is old enough, and it's time to let her go."
Nanny Tan smiled and said, "It's not uncommon for a maidservant to marry a servant when she reaches a certain age, but Miss Yingrong's case is a bit unusual. I heard that when Yingrong was getting married, she was limp and fell on the matchmaker. It looked like she had eaten something..."
"She must be so happy that she can't even stand." Mingyu said, covering her mouth with her hands and yawning, "Getting married is always a happy thing."
Madam Cuihua had chosen a good marriage for Yingrong. Although the son of the village head was not as good as the son of the Marquis, anyone could be the daughter-in-law of the village head. The village head managed the households, which was also the manager of a branch company. As a daughter-in-law, Yingrong only needed to serve her husband and parents-in-law. The Marquis's head office had to pay Yingrong, and she didn't have to serve the master. The emperor was far away, what a good life!
Moreover, there were many shady things in the harvest that the manor gave to the government every year. They deducted money from the lower level and concealed it from the upper level. In order to get a good piece of land, didn't the farmers in the manor do their best to give benefits to the head of the manor? Which head of the manor was not rich? The wife really took care of Mr. Bao's face when she treated Yingrong.
Mingyu thought about it and suddenly laughed, shaking her head and said, "Oh, Miss Yingrong has served the Second Master for so many years, and now she is getting married, and I haven't prepared a dowry for her, not even a dowry item, it's really inappropriate."
Nanny Tan opened her mouth to say, "It's not too late to send it now!" Then she heard Mingyu say happily, "She's already married, so it's too late to send it now. Forget it, my heart has been conveyed, so let's just leave it at that."
Are you kidding? Even if her silver is thrown into the water, it can still make a sound. Give it to Yingrong? It's not like she has too much money to spend. Is she so kind? I just don't know what Master Bao will feel when he sees his beloved maid being drugged and taken away. I guess he will be heartbroken for a long time. Mingyu thought of a line of lyrics with some bad intentions. When I finally knew the truth, I shed tears... Well, it can aptly describe Master Bao's mood.
Nanny Tan choked back the words that were about to come out of her mouth. Looking at the quiet little girl, Nanny Tan concluded that this Second Madam Bao was different from the generous and open-minded Second Master Bao, and was a very stingy person.
After finally waiting for Mingyu to fall asleep, Nanny Tan immediately slipped away to the Madam's courtyard. However, as soon as she entered the courtyard, she was stopped by Nanny Wei who was guarding the door. Nanny Tan was very unhappy, "What are you doing? I tell you, I have something important to report to the Madam. Can you afford to delay me?"
Nanny Wei covered Nanny Tan's mouth, glared at her, and pointed in the direction of the house. The maids serving in the Madam's room were not in the yard. Nanny Tan also felt something was wrong. At this moment, a sound of porcelain breaking came from the room, which sounded like a teacup being thrown heavily to the ground.
Miao's suppressed and angry voice rang out, "What do you mean? The Marquis's Mansion has lost so much face, and this matter is over?"
The autumn wind outside blew through the window lattice, and the reflections of the tree branches outside the window swayed. Under the light of the candlelight, the two figures confronting each other in the room did not move, and there was silence inside and outside the room.
After a long while, Sima Qing's voice was heard, and he said lightly: "I have already said that this matter ends here. If you can find out anything, you can of course continue to investigate. In the final analysis, it is because you are not good at managing the family..." Sima Qing knew what kind of person his wife was. She was under the banner of gaining face for the Marquis' Mansion, but it was obvious that she wanted to take a bite out of Aunt Yu.
As soon as these words came out, the figure who was originally sitting on the chair immediately stood up angrily, "I am not good at managing the family? Don't put the blame on me, it's obviously you who deliberately protected that little whore!"
Sima Qing's voice was full of helplessness. "Don't be unreasonable. You said that Aunt Yu did it, so you have to show evidence!"
With a bang, another sound of a teacup dying.
Miao gnashed her teeth in hatred. She hated that she had not been able to catch any evidence against Aunt Yu, and she also hated Sima Qing for being so heartless and ungrateful that he had to protect that little whore.
Sima Qing was so worried that his head was as big as a bucket. He had to appease both sides and persuade them kindly: "Okay, okay, the troublemakers have been punished. Some have been imprisoned, some have been exiled. No one will dare to cause trouble in the Marquis' Mansion in the future."
Nanny Tan looked at Nanny Wei with lingering fear. Fortunately, she didn't rush in. The mistress was angry and worried about not having a punching bag. It was no joke when she had a tantrum.
