I thought these words would make Hui's mother blush.
Ke Hui's mother just stood there, her waist suddenly straightened up, and said,
"Okay, today Aunt Yan didn't choose me, but it doesn't mean I don't want to serve her. If the old lady asks about it someday, Aunt Yan will explain it clearly!"
Lai Mama said, "Just say it! It's not your turn as a servant to teach your aunt how to do things!"
"Right? Aunt Yan?"
Mother Lai looked at Lin Yan'er with a smile.
Lin Yan'er also glanced at Hui's mother with a smug look on her face, and there was no doubt in her eyes that she was unwilling to choose her!
Otherwise, how could he directly refute what Hui's mother said?
Cai Chan was very worried. She saw that all the other old maids had left, and only Hui Mama was left slowly walking out of Yanling Garden.
"Aunt! Why don't you let Mother Hui stay as well? It will be easier to explain to the old lady! Judging from what Mother Hui said, it's obvious that the old lady wants to force it on us..."
Before Cai Chan could finish her words, Lin Yan'er gave her a cold look.
"You are the only one who is nosy! Who is the master here?" Lin Yan'er said dissatisfiedly, looking at Qingliu who was hanging his head beside her.
Lin Yan'er said, "Take Mother Lai to familiarize herself with Yanling Garden and get started as soon as possible!"
Qingliu had no choice but to nod, "Yes, Madam Lai, please follow me."
“…”
Mother Hui, who had left Yanling Garden, was somewhat familiar with this place, but the inner courtyard and inner house were never allowed to be entered at will.
She had not worked here for more than a year and could not move around freely.
Mother Hui had no choice but to follow the other old maids and leave. When she saw the entrance to the Pear Garden in the distance, her eyes were full of longing!
I wonder how the general's wife is doing now...
Manager Li in the front yard saw four old maids and sent them out of the house in accordance with the principle of being a servant. But when he looked closely, he found a familiar person!
"Mother Hui?" Manager Li wiped his old eyes, thinking he had seen it wrong.
"Brother Li, it's me." Hui's mother smiled, and some wrinkles appeared on her face.
"You came too, why didn't you stay?"
Manager Li was puzzled. He knew that the mistress was not at home these days, so the only place to expand the servants was the concubine's courtyard.
Logically, Ju Niu'er wouldn't be so ignorant. After seeing Hui Mama's list, she would know how important Hui Mama is.
Then only Lin Yan'er is left.
Manager Li immediately understood the reason. Mother Hui smiled and said, "It's okay. Aunt Yan doesn't tolerate me. I'm just unlucky. Big Brother Li, I'm leaving."
Manager Li said helplessly, "Okay, take care."
Just after sending away a few old maids, Manager Li welcomed Guo Liangxian back home.
He was surprised and said, "General, you're back so early? Isn't Zhuangzi busy?"
Guo Liangxian was stunned. Knowing that Manager Li had a close relationship with his mother, he didn't think much about it and said naturally,
"Yes, I won't be busy for now. I have to wait until my mother goes to invite Xueyue back tomorrow. Sigh..."
Guo Liangxian sighed, put his hands behind his back and went back to Yaoyu Pavilion.
Manager Li was left confused.
Why is the house in such a mess now that Madam is not here?
Manager Li clapped his hands, suddenly realizing what was going on, and quietly went to the backyard to take a peek.
Rong Mama was directing the maids around her to do something. When she saw Steward Li, she asked in confusion, "Steward Li, what's going on?"
Steward Li said, "Please inform me that I have something to say to the old lady."
"Okay, wait a moment."
In Zhongsi Hall, Nian just woke up from a nap and frowned when she saw Manager Li appear!
"Is there anything I can do for you, Manager Li?" Nian half-closed her eyes, looking sleepy.
Steward Li knelt on the ground and said, "Madam, the servants in the mansion have almost been expanded. I have just sent the extra maids out of the mansion. However, there is a question."
Nian said, "What's your question? You're an old servant in the mansion. Stop hesitating and beating around the bush. Just speak frankly."
Nian's tone became a little impatient.
Manager Li said, "It's like this. Today, the two concubines' courtyards are selecting suitable maids. It's Concubine Yan from Yanlingyuan..."
"It's not Hui Mama who was chosen."
Nian was slightly startled and narrowed her eyes and asked, "Isn't Mother Hui in Yanling Garden?"
While speaking, she turned her head to look at Mother Cui next to her and questioned the two of them in succession.
Mother Cui knelt down to explain,
"I don't know. Today, I've handed it over to them personally according to your instructions. If there's anything wrong, I'll go check it out now."
Nian thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, let's wait until Xueyue comes back."
While waiting for the lady to come back, Nian began to regret having a conflict with Yuan Xueyue. How could that child's temper be even more stubborn than her own son?
Why was I punished to go to the ancestral hall just for a disagreement?
Nian shook her head helplessly.
"Aren't you leaving yet?" Nian saw Manager Li still kneeling there.
Manager Li kowtowed and said,
"Yes, I will take my leave."
Nian said to Mother Cui, "Send Liangxian over."
Little did they know that Guo Liangxian was in Yaoyu Pavilion, enjoying a romantic affair with Ju Niuer.
Mother Cui went to two or three places before she learned from the servants that Guo Liangxian was in Yaoyu Pavilion. She was immediately surprised!
She was so anxious that she stomped her feet back and forth outside Yaoyu Pavilion!
The maid didn't dare to rush in and interrupt because her ears were already red!
The ambiguous voice lingered out. Mother Cui knew to wait outside, but the maid Bilan could not do that.
After a moment, the noise inside died down, and Bilan hesitated and said,
"Auntie, General, Mrs. Cui from Zhongsitang is here to see you..."
When Guo Liangxian heard Mother Cui, he suddenly became excited!
"knew."
After a while, Guo Liangxian came out with his clothes still in disarray. How could such a thing happen in broad daylight!
Mother Cui sighed and shook her head, then led him to Zhongsi Hall.
As soon as she entered the door, Nian smelled something wrong!
As her own son had been raised by her since childhood, Nian saw through what Guo Liangxian had just done at a glance.
"Having more offspring is important, but you have to know when to choose and your status! Can't Xueyue come back today?" asked Nian.
Guo Liangxian said, "No, mother, please don't ask. Go there yourself tomorrow. I've done my best."
After saying this, Guo Liangxian didn't want to face Nian's questioning look.
He didn't want to go into detail about the disrespectful things he said in the ancestral hall.
“Really…!”
Nian shook her head repeatedly, it seemed that this was the only way.
The mother and son talked for a while, and then there was a noise outside the door!
"General~General!"
Who else but Lin Yan'er would be shouting openly outside Zhongsi Hall?
But this was the first time this happened, and the indifference in Nian's eyes was clearly revealed!
"How can this be! Liangxian, can you please keep a closer eye on it? I'm so annoyed!" Nian said, pressing her forehead.
This sound disturbed his mother. Guo Liangxian ran out in dissatisfaction. Seeing that it was Lin Yan'er, he said coldly,
"What are you doing here? This is Zhongsi Hall!"
Where the old lady lived, how could she be allowed to shout like that?
