A few days ago, she was still happy about earning two taels of silver from each banquet, but now she began to feel that the money was less and the work was more.
Sister-in-law Ye said, "Sister-in-law, isn't it useless for you to ask me about this? What ideas can I come up with for you?
"In my opinion, since Madam Qin asked Mr. Jiang to help you, why don't you ask him? After all, Yumei and Yueying were both hired by him."
"Yeah, look at my brain. I should have asked Mr. Jiang just now." Mrs. Ye looked at the sky outside and said angrily, "It's too late today. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
Mrs. Ye talked to Mrs. Ye San for a while before returning to her room.
Unexpectedly, before she could go to Mr. Jiang for help, Lin Yumei came to her first.
Lin Yumei knocked on the door and asked, "Has Madam You rested?"
"No, is there something wrong?" Mrs. Ye came over to open the door.
But because Boss Ye was in the room, it was not convenient to let her in.
Fortunately, Lin Yumei had already thought about it. She smiled and said, "Thanks to Madam You's support this time, Yueying and I have prepared a few side dishes and a jar of fruit wine. We would like to invite Madam You to come over for a drink."
"Okay, I'll be there right away." Mrs. Ye thought that although she had not yet gone to Mr. Jiang for advice, Lin Yumei was a person with a relatively active mind.
Since the two of them took the initiative to invite me over, they must have some ideas in mind. I might as well listen to what they mean first.
The return was the same as the departure. Mr. Jiang had his own car, Mr. Ye and his family of three had their own car, and Mrs. Ye, Lin Yumei, Feng Yueying, and Wu Ying had their own car, so they couldn't talk in private in the car.
After returning to the Jiang family, Lin Yumei couldn't help but pull Feng Yueying aside to discuss things as soon as she entered the house.
After the two people reached a consensus, the next step was to have a frank talk with Mrs. Ye.
Lin Yumei was impatient and couldn't even wait until the next day. She went out to buy some side dishes and a jar of fruit wine, and when she came back she invited Mrs. Ye over.
The three of them closed the door and started chatting.
After returning to the Qin Mansion, Nanny Jiang, who had just been sent back by Madam Qin to rest, was invited to Qin Hexuan's room by Lan Shuang, the maid in Qin Hexuan's room, as soon as she left Madam Qin's courtyard.
"Madam, please sit down." Qin Hexuan naturally did not dare to neglect the old woman next to Madam Qin.
"I dare not. I wonder what the young master wants me to do."
Nanny Jiang has been the most trusted person around Madam Qin for so many years, so she naturally knows everything clearly.
Qin Hexuan's politeness is due to his upbringing. He respects Madam Jiang not for herself but for Madam Qin's sake.
No matter how respected a servant is, she is still a servant after all, so she has always been humble in front of Qin Hexuan.
"Madam, you don't have to be polite. Please sit down and talk." Seeing this, Qin Hexuan sat down first.
Only then did Madam Jiang lean sideways and sit down on the edge of the embroidered cushion.
"Where are Yang Xing and Wang Dafeng working now?" Qin Hexuan asked.
Nanny Jiang didn't expect Qin Hexuan to ask this. She was stunned for a moment before asking, "Why did you think of asking about them, young master?"
"Can't I ask?" Qin Hexuan raised his eyelids slightly and looked at Nanny Jiang.
Nanny Jiang has been working in the mansion for so many years, and has even been to the palace with Madam Qin, but today she felt a chill down her spine when she was stared at by a child who was less than ten years old.
"That's not what I meant," Madam Jiang said, bowing. "Yang Xing and his family were using the Qin Mansion's name to flaunt their wealth and tarnish our reputation, so Madam sent them to farm in the south a long time ago."
Qin Hexuan had thought before that Madam Qin would definitely punish Yang Xing and his wife after knowing their behavior, but he didn't expect that she would just send them to work on the farm?
"Mother is too lenient!" Qin Hexuan frowned and said, "Such a vicious slave should be beaten and then sold off."
Seeing that he was dissatisfied with this treatment, Nanny Jiang hurriedly explained, "Young Master, you don't know that our Qin Mansion has always been lenient towards our servants. We have never had a precedent of beating, killing, and selling slaves.
"Furthermore, if such a vicious slave were released, he would surely be filled with resentment.
“They don’t dare to cause trouble for our family, but they might seek revenge on the Ye family.
"As the saying goes, it's easy to get along with a gentleman, but hard to guard against a villain. This is exactly the truth."
What Nanny Jiang didn't say was that the farm in the south where Madam Qin sent the two of them was not a nice place like the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, but a remote and desolate place. It was hot and humid all year round, full of miasma, snakes, insects, rats and ants.
Going there to open up wasteland is much more difficult than kicking people out of the house.
Qin Hexuan's anger subsided a little after hearing this.
"My mother must have considered everything carefully before doing this. I was the one who was overthinking it."
Nanny Jiang didn't dare to say anything wrong about Qin Hexuan, so she quickly said, "It's normal for the young master to hate evil and not tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes.
"Madam, as the head of the household, you have to consider many aspects."
"I understand. Thank you for troubling Madam Jiang today."
After Qin Hexuan finished speaking, Song Tao hurriedly presented the reward silver that had been prepared long ago.
Nanny Jiang declined for a moment before accepting it and said, "If the young master has no other instructions, I will take my leave."
"Go ahead. It's almost the end of the year, and Mother is overwhelmed with things. She needs Matron to share her worries."
Nanny Jiang understood and said, "I am old and can't help much. I just hope I won't cause any more trouble for Madam."
"Madam has been with mother for many years, so she is the most reliable person." Qin Hexuan then smiled faintly and stood up to see the guest off.
After coming out of Qin Hexuan's room, Nanny Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, only then realizing that she was covered in cold sweat.
Nanny Jiang made up her mind not to tell Madam Qin about this.
