"If you want someone to serve you, give it to her!" Song ordered Mother Wang.

"Pick out some of the best ones and go to Liu's room to serve them!"

Having served for many years, Mother Wang naturally understood her master's intention, nodded and quickly left.

——

Maybe it was because of the incident caused by Litchi that day, the allowance for the side room was increased a lot, and Shen Qingqiu's request for a small kitchen was also agreed. It was being built these days, and it would be ready for use in two or three days.

Mother Chen's injuries had almost healed by now, so she was watching from behind to prevent her from falling off the swing.

"Mother Chen~" She was sewing the soles of shoes when she heard a voice coming from the front. She quickly put down the shoes in her hand and walked towards the door. Then she saw the maid in charge of the housemaids bringing more than a dozen maids and servants dressed as menial servants, "These are the new servants for your courtyard--". Then she said, "Mother Chen, please decide how to arrange these servants. There is only one left, who is the personal maid that the lady has given to the young lady."

Soon, a maid in a light pink dress came over. She looked much fairer than the rough servant in front. Although her dress was beautiful, it was not luxurious. When she walked, her lotus steps moved lightly, and occasionally there was a golden light floating under her feet. Mother Chen lowered her head to look, and found that the maid was wearing a pair of gold-embroidered shoes! She seemed to have noticed Mother Chen's gaze, and she gently lifted her skirt, "Mom, are you looking at these shoes?"

Without waiting for Madam Chen to nod, she raised her chin and said, "This is a gift from the Madam. My mother is the eldest young master's wet nurse."

Mother Chen immediately understood that this was not a servant but a Buddha statue that the eldest lady had placed in their room!

——

It was pretty much what Mother Chen thought. Jin Cai hadn't done much work since she came into the house. And she was the eldest wife's person. But after two or three days, everyone in the courtyard started to follow her lead.

Normally, even if Mama Chen asked the servant to chop some firewood, he would always refuse. Now it was worse than having no servant at all.

Mother Chen looked at her daughter hesitantly several times, wanting her to show her power and teach these ignorant servants a lesson. However, Shen Qingqiu seemed to have returned to the behavior of a seven-year-old child, eating and sleeping every day, and not caring about the maids and servants fooling around with her.

Especially on this day, Jin Cai came in and said, "Give me all the account books in your room. I will take care of them for you in the future."

Shen Qingqiu didn't look at her, and let her mother measure her feet. Liu was going to buy her a new pair of small shoes. Meanwhile, Mother Chen was getting the account book for Jin Cai.

After Jin Cai took it, she asked, "Where are the girl's gold and silver jewelry?"

Mother Chen said, "It's with my aunt. She used to take care of it."

Jin Cai said, "Then please ask Auntie to give me the monthly allowance of the young lady and all the gold and silver jewelry. It is unreasonable for a young lady from a wealthy family to have Auntie in charge of her affairs. If it gets out, people will laugh at her. After all, Auntie is not a proper master." After saying that, she adjusted the hairpin and said, "Young lady, if Auntie has nothing else to say, I will leave. The master sent some new fabrics today."

As soon as Jin Cai left, Mother Chen couldn't stay any longer.

"Girl, Jin Cai is clearly looking for trouble!" Mother Chen couldn't help it. "She even took away the shopping work in our yard. Her mother is a big fat bug who has already embezzled a lot of money. She is treating our concubine's room as her own private treasury!"

Shen Qingqiu said: "Mom wants me to hit someone?"

Mother Chen looked at her, "What else can we do?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"I have always been a reasonable person." Shen Qingqiu said, "Whether at home or out, I must convince others with reason."
