Wang saw that County Magistrate Yang had something on his mind, and he was trying to hide it and was unwilling to mention it.
At first, she wondered if it was the wet nurse sent by the old lady of the Yang family who was causing trouble in secret, but she quickly dismissed the idea.
Wang had long understood County Magistrate Yang's character and personality thoroughly.
If it was something like this that happened in the inner chamber, even if County Magistrate Yang was tricked by someone else, he would never hide it from her.
It was not long after Wang married County Magistrate Yang.
At that time, they were newlyweds, deeply in love and sweet as honey. They had no children and lived in their own world every day. It was so comfortable.
As the two were enjoying themselves, someone started to take advantage of the newlyweds. It was none other than the old lady from the Yang family.
The old lady liked beautiful maids, and when she chose them, she chose some from among her own daughters and some from outside.
Temperament and character are not what she values most.
What matters most to her is appearance.
Must be extremely beautiful.
She said, "When I get old, I like these little girls who are like flower buds. Seeing them gathered around me in a cluster of flowers makes my meals taste especially delicious."
As the wife of the previous patriarch of the Yang family and the mother of the current patriarch, it doesn’t matter if the old lady likes some pretty maids?
With such a small request, naturally no one would disobey her.
But in addition to liking beautiful maids, the old lady also liked to give people to her children and grandchildren. The ones she gave out were these beautiful maids who had served her for several years.
Seeing that County Magistrate Yang and the young couple Wang were as happy as honey but still couldn't conceive, the old lady of the Yang family started to make trouble.
She assigned the most beautiful maidservant around her, named Zhenzhu, to County Magistrate Yang.
It specifically indicates that she is a personal maid for County Magistrate Yang, and means "being considerate and sensible, and serving him personally."
County Magistrate Yang had no such intention, and he didn't take it seriously after getting the maid.
But this maid, with the instruction of the old lady of the Yang family, broke into her master's inner room in the middle of the night, saying that she wanted to bring sweet soup to County Magistrate Yang.
Not to mention how indecently she was dressed, the fact that she dismissed the maid on night watch and barged into the inner room on her own broke the rules of the Yang family.
What's more, she also happened to see the intimate interaction between County Magistrate Yang and Wang.
That time, Wang made the Yang family see what it meant to be a lion roaring like a lion.
Of course, Wang always acted like a lady from a noble family.
You can see textbook-like examples of adjectives like well-educated, gentle and charming, and graceful and elegant in Wang.
Therefore, when she suddenly took off the elegant mask of a noble lady and lost her temper on the spot without hesitation, the scene was particularly shocking.
It makes people unforgettable for a long time.
After Wang's outburst, County Magistrate Yang felt both distressed and frightened. He tried to comfort Wang for a long time and called the steward on the spot. He beat the maid named Zhenzhu with twenty boards and then sold her off immediately.
You know, the Yang family hasn't sold anyone for decades.
The Yang family only buys people to stay at home and never sells them to outsiders.
If they really disliked the servants, they would find fault with them, beat them to death, or simply take away their jobs and send them back home to be eaten by them. This was also a common tactic.
This time, County Magistrate Yang made an exception for the maid named Zhenzhu for Wang's sake.
Not only was Pearl beautiful and gentle, she was also the granddaughter of a trusted maidservant of the Yang family's old lady when she was young. When she heard that she was going to be sold, the old lady immediately became anxious.
The nanny who served the old lady of the Yang family came in person to plead for mercy. County Magistrate Yang only took a look at Wang's face and saw that she seemed to be still angry, so he spoke to the visitor in a harsh tone and retorted.
From then on, County Magistrate Yang and Mrs. Wang lived in peace for twelve years.
Not long after Wang had lost her temper, County Magistrate Yang took her with him to take up a post in the local area.
Although I had no family connections, every place I went to for official selection had its own difficulties.
But over the years, County Magistrate Yang and Mrs. Wang have supported each other and are living a happier life than when they were still in the Yang family.
Over the years, no matter where she went, Wang always observed the most proper etiquette.
County Magistrate Yang handed all these matters over to Wang. He knew very well that his wife was smart and capable and would never make any mistakes in such matters and give others a chance to talk about her.
As it turned out, Wang never missed even one time.
At the local level, it is inevitable that some local officials and wealthy businessmen have the habit of giving beautiful maids to others.
In other respects, County Magistrate Yang followed the local customs, but he never gave in on this one matter.
So, at this moment, seeing that County Magistrate Yang seemed to be worried, Wang did not expose him.
If that wet nurse has truly forgotten her former glory and dares to cause trouble, I wouldn't mind the trouble and would be more than happy to awaken her memory!
However, if it is not about these matters in the harem, it is most likely related to government affairs.
Yang Lang must have gotten some inside information to be so worried...
Wang calmly changed the topic to a lighter one, diverting County Magistrate Yang's attention. As expected, County Magistrate Yang's furrowed brows relaxed a lot.
While Wang and County Magistrate Yang were having a great time, County Magistrate Yang's wet nurse and his old friend's granddaughter were having a headache.
It’s been quite a while since I came to Jixiang County. How come, apart from the quick meeting that day, I haven’t seen him since then?
The division of labor in Yang's house is clear, and everyone has their own responsibilities. Every door and every room has a dedicated person in charge.
It was almost an impossible task to get from the back room where they lived, through layers of checkpoints, to the main room where County Magistrate Yang and Wang lived, and have an "accidental encounter" with County Magistrate Yang.
As for those who serve fragrance, bring soup and food, spread paper and grind ink, and serve tea and water, there is naturally no chance of that happening.
They couldn't even enter the big kitchen where the servants ate, let alone the small kitchen that cooked for County Magistrate Yang and Wang?
What's more, we have to send this entrance thing to County Magistrate Yang?
The two of them have been frowning for quite some time.
They were trapped in the back room and were not allowed to do anything, but they were also not allowed to walk around in Yang's house.
The two had nothing to do. At first they were happy to be idle, but later they could only sleep day and night. They couldn't even sleep, but they still couldn't go anywhere.
Even to get information, the nanny had to spend a lot of money to get a few words occasionally, and what she got was not useful information.
It would be something like "The master went to the south of the city for inspection", or "The master went to the west of the city for inspection", and sometimes they would say "The master and his wife went to visit the Murong family"...
As time went by, the silver that the wet nurse brought was almost used up, but she still had not found a chance to bring her old friend's granddaughter to show herself before County Magistrate Yang.
