Chapter 370 Winning without Fighting

The voice was shrill and one could tell it was that of a young eunuch.

Lu Qiniang felt that the voice was strangely familiar, and then looked up.

Wow, it turns out to be an acquaintance!

Isn’t this Teng Wenfu’s godson Xiao Puzi?

It was he who sent back Wang Yun, whom Xiao Yan couldn't let go of.

"How can it be such a coincidence?" Lu Qiniang asked hurriedly.

Xiao Puzi had recognized Lu Qiniang a long time ago, and only spoke up when he saw that she was about to suffer a loss.

"Sister," he said with a smile, "I'm on duty today. This isn't the palace releasing someone, I'm responsible for getting them out."

"You said I was so blind that I didn't even see you."

Seeing that she could talk to the eunuch in the palace, the two women dared not say a word.

Little Puzi glanced at the two men and said coldly, "How dare you tug and fight at the palace gate? Where is the emperor's majesty? If you dare to make trouble again, I will have you all arrested."

Lu Qiniang quickly said, "That's right. Isn't this bullying? Okay, girl, stop crying. If you really have nowhere to go, come back with me first. I'll let you stay for a few days and find a job to support yourself. If you really can't find one, then work for me."

Xiao Puzi smiled and said, "Sister is still as chivalrous and kind-hearted as ever."

"Oh, it's not easy for anyone. You said you've been in the palace for so many years, who wouldn't be confused when you suddenly come out?" Lu Qiniang said to the woman again, "By the way, my name is Lu Qiniang. I have two shops at home and have hired many female workers. Don't worry, young lady, I'm not a bad person. You came out of the palace because you were selected by the palace, and I also believe that you are not a bad person. Hurry and wipe your tears."

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, a woman next to her came over, bowed to her and said, "Madam, I have no family to pick me up and nowhere to go. Could you please take me in temporarily?"

"And me."

"Me too."

Lu Qin's mother was dumbfounded.

There were actually six women who wanted to follow her home.

this……

This is not easy to refuse.

Who would be willing to follow a stranger if they really had nowhere to go?

I think they saw that I knew Xiao Puzi, so they thought he was more trustworthy than a stranger outside, so they all wanted to follow me.

"That's fine." Lu Qiniang gritted her teeth. "My house is big, so you can stay here for now. If you can contact your family later, please contact them. If you can't, we'll deal with it later. Sanya, take them to our carriage first."

San Ya nodded, still remembering her mother's words, and kept her mouth tightly shut.

She is a good child.

Lu Qiniang didn't forget the reason for her visit today. She whispered to Xiao Puzi, "Who is Aunt Sang from Concubine Shu's palace?"

"Aunt Sang?" Xiao Puzi looked around and pointed at the woman in a green dress standing next to the carriage not far away. "Over there."

Lu Qiniang followed Xiao Puzi's instructions and saw a woman standing quietly beside the carriage. It was Aunt Sang.

She was about twenty-five years old, wearing a starched and ironed blue fine cloth jacket and skirt. The collar and cuffs of the jacket were meticulously done, without even a single unnecessary wrinkle, revealing the rigor of the palace.

Her black hair was combed into a smooth and tight bun at the back of her head, fixed with only a plain silver hairpin. Her temples were so smooth without a single strand of hair, which made her face look even more clean and pretty.

Aunt Sang has an upright posture. Although she is just standing there quietly, she has a calm and reserved demeanor.

Lu Qiniang couldn't describe it, but the only word in her mind was "good".

It’s just that Aunt Sang is talking to someone.

Unfortunately, Lu Qiniang knew that person. He was Shuyu, the lackey beside Princess Zhaoyang.

Judging from their appearance, the two of them seemed to be having a pleasant conversation.

Enemies often meet on a narrow road.

It's bad enough that she's competing with her for men, but now she's even competing with her for the aunts in the palace?

Forget it, I'll just bear with it.

Lu Qiniang really didn't want to have anything to do with that family anymore.

It looks like we'll return empty-handed today.

Oh no, I brought six back.

I have a bit of a headache.

Meanwhile, Aunt Sang said calmly, "Thank you for your kindness, Princess, but I've already promised someone else."

"I wonder which company my aunt agreed to? The princess really likes my aunt. She said she would increase the price of whatever others offered."

Obviously, Song Mingzhen is determined to win.

She is now troubled by her rebellious daughter and wants to find someone to teach Song Chenghuan the rules, regardless of the cost.

"It has nothing to do with money. I have already promised someone else and I cannot go back on my word." After saying that, Aunt Sang nodded and walked towards Lu Qiniang.

While Lu Qiniang was stunned, Aunt Sang bowed and said, "Madam, Miss Jiang has sent someone to bring me a letter, and I accepted it. But I have to go home to visit my parents first, and I will come back in a few days."

"Oh, okay, okay."

The pie that suddenly fell from the sky almost knocked Lu Qin's mother unconscious.

She hasn't tried hard yet!

Is it really a good day?

Lu Qin's mother was confused until she got home.

The carriage stopped in front of the shop, and Daya was already waiting there.

"Mom, is Aunt Sang here?"

"She didn't come. But she promised. She said she would come in two days." Lu Qiniang said with a guilty conscience, "Well, Daya, I brought a few people back."

She was embarrassed to say it, but San Ya had already excitedly told her about the meritorious service she had performed today with the help of Tietou.

Lu Qiniang: I feel so embarrassed.

"Since you're here, please ask them to get out of the car first." Daya smiled gently and personally took the people to the backyard of the shop to settle them down.

Erya curled her lips at this and said to Lu Qiniang, "I should have followed you earlier. You always come home to pick up people."

"It's so pitiful." Lu Qiniang said, "If I have somewhere to go, who can follow me back?"

"That's true. Mother, the family should be looking for a few servants. If they are suitable, please keep a few of them."

"Why would we need servants in our house? Besides, they serve the emperor, and I don't have the nerve to do that."

Erya scoffed, "The palace is so big, it's hard to say whether they've even met the emperor! Do you think the palace doesn't need cleaning? There are more people doing the hard labor."

Lu Qiniang thought about it and it seemed to make sense.

"I'll discuss it with your father and your eldest sister later. We also need to see what they think, right?"

"Well, let's discuss it slowly later." Erya said, "I think it's a good idea."

When my father returns to his post, what will these people be able to do?

We will definitely have to hire more servants, and they will be able to help set the rules, which would be great.

"You think too much."

"That's right. My brother-in-law is coming. Do you have to say after dinner, 'Jiang Xuan, you guys wash the dishes in the main room today?' Is that reasonable?"

"Can I wash it?"

"That's even more outrageous. We have such a big business now, we should have hired someone long ago. Don't do everything yourself."

"Don't people have to work to survive?"

Lu Qiniang talked to Erya for a few words, and couldn't help but proudly talk about Aunt Sang.

"Jiang Yi is so proud! I originally thought that Aunt Sang was going to be snatched away by the princess again!"

Unexpectedly, Nanny Sang was still willing to follow her.

Lu Qiniang felt a sense of pride in a useless way.

"Maybe my father asked someone to arrange it." Erya said.

"Your father? That's impossible. How can he take care of the affairs in the palace?" Lu Qiniang waved her hand.
