Chapter 985 The Initiative is Back
See? We've regained the initiative.
Upon hearing that the matter had been reported to the authorities, Madam Mei's expression changed, and she was speechless for a moment.
Yu was about to speak when Shu Yu said, "Mrs. Fan wants to discipline her daughter-in-law and deal with the servants, but can't you wait until I've finished asking your questions before you deal with it behind closed doors? I'm the victim here now, shouldn't you let me get to the bottom of things first?"
Madam Yu was so angry she almost fainted. This was her Fan family home, and she was supposed to handle things behind closed doors. This woman barged in on her own! And now she's blaming her for delaying her business?
Shu Yu didn't care if she was about to burst into flames; she walked straight up to Xiao Yun.
Seeing the two rough old women still holding her tightly, Shu Yu frowned. "Let go, let go. How can I question you like this?"
The two old women looked at each other, then couldn't help but look at Madam Yu.
Madam Yu sneered, "What if Xiaoyun, this maid, makes a mistake and runs away after we let go?"
"With so many people in this courtyard, you're afraid a little maid will escape? That's incredibly useless. Does your Fan family not even feed them properly?"
"you……"
Shu Yu squinted at the two old women, "Aren't you going to let go?!"
Ding Yuehua immediately gave a wink to the people around her, signaling them to go up and help.
Before they could even step forward, Shu Yu had already reached out her hand.
She grabbed one of the old women's wrists with one hand, and the old woman immediately cried out in pain and quickly let go. Seeing this, the other old woman could only take a small step back.
Xiaoyun, covered in sweat, tumbled off the bench and let out a long sigh of relief.
Shu Yu then asked her, "What exactly happened? Didn't you go to the Ding family? How did you get into a conflict with the eldest young mistress, and how were the blueprints destroyed?"
Xiaoyun glanced at Madam Mei, who curled her lips in a mocking smile, seemingly unconcerned.
So what if she destroyed the blueprints? What can they do to her?
Xiaoyun was furious, and then she began to tell what had happened after she left the house.
She was originally following her mistress's instructions to return to the Ding residence as soon as she stepped out the door, but as soon as she did, she saw a familiar-looking person pleading with the gatekeeper to help him see the Third Young Master and Third Young Mistress.
The gatekeeper refused to let him in, citing that the third young master was not there and the third young mistress was entertaining guests.
Despite the man saying he had something very important to say, he couldn't bring himself to enter the Fan family's residence.
Xiaoyun took a few steps closer and realized that this was the foreman of the brickyard.
She quickly stepped forward. The foreman looked delighted to see her, but the gatekeeper's eyes darted around, clearly showing he was somewhat guilty.
Xiaoyun didn't have time to think too much. The foreman seemed to be in a hurry, so something might have happened.
The foreman immediately pulled Xiaoyun aside and his first words were about the two blueprints that the third young master had sent a couple of days ago. One had been burned and the other had fallen into the water and was now unusable.
Xiaoyun was shocked. As Ding Yuehua's personal maid, she knew all too well about this matter.
Two days ago, Mr. Lu's father, Second Master Lu, wanted to find someone to make porcelain, and the drawings even included the shapes of the porcelain pieces to be made.
Master Lu initially didn't intend to approach the Fan family, since the amount he needed to handle wasn't large. It was Ding Yuehua who overheard the conversation by chance and immediately took on the task.
After receiving the blueprints, Ding Yuehua handed them over to the third young master of the Fan family.
The third young master personally took the blueprints to the kiln and had people make the blanks according to the blueprints.
