Chapter 230
Knowing that she had concerns, Madam Zheng continued, "You don't need to worry too much, just do your best."
Now, Yunwan could no longer refuse: "Since my mother-in-law is willing to entrust this matter to her daughter-in-law, then I will do my best."
Zheng nodded in satisfaction.
After leaving Rongxi Hall, Yun Wan's expression relaxed considerably.
Pearl sighed, "Young Madam, what should we do?"
“My mother-in-law is also in the Marquis’s residence. Instead of receiving them herself, she dumped them on me. Isn’t that a clear sign that she doesn’t respect those two?” Yun Wan said. “Besides, didn’t my mother-in-law say that we should just do our best? So we don’t need to put in any effort. We can just do our job properly.”
Hearing Yunwan say this, Pearl was relieved: "Then this servant will go and give the order to clean the courtyard."
Yun Wan lowered her brows slightly: "...The courtyard naturally needs to be cleaned, but the Marquis's mansion is so big, arranging for them to stay is also a problem."
Pearl was slightly taken aback.
So many empty courtyards in the Marquis's mansion, how is that a problem?
"The guests are relatives from Madam's side, cousins, but judging from Madam's nonchalant attitude, they're probably distant cousins..." Yun Wan murmured. "Anyway, we already have a concubine in this courtyard, so one more won't hurt, will it?"
Pearl's eyes lit up: "Young mistress is so clever!"
"Then this servant will make the arrangements immediately. Since we want to use them, why not arrange for them to be placed near Liuyun Garden?"
“No way,” Yun Wan frowned. “My mother-in-law doesn’t like them, so why are we arranging for them to live near our courtyard? Isn’t that just asking for trouble?”
"Then..." Pearl was at a loss for what to do.
“Arranging him next to Jibai Residence would be ideal,” Yun Wan said with a smirk. “Leaving aside the wealth of the Marquis’s mansion, the young master’s appearance and character are both top-notch. How could he not catch the eye of that mother and daughter from a small place?”
"Let's do her a favor and let her take advantage of her proximity!"
In this way, she can achieve her goal without getting herself into trouble, which is a win-win situation.
Pearl's eyes lit up: "Yes, this servant will arrange it right away!"
——
Ji Baiju.
Yunxi endured the soreness in her body and got up. She called out to Jixiang a few times but no one came in, so she had no choice but to put on her clothes and go out herself.
Just then, we saw Jixiang and Le'an returning from outside.
Seeing Yunxi get up, Jixiang quickly ran a few steps to greet her: "Auntie, a lot of people went to the courtyard next door!"
"What happened?"
Le'an stepped forward and said, "The lady's relatives from her maternal side have arrived, and she asked the young mistress to receive them. I don't know what the young mistress was thinking, but she actually arranged for them to stay here."
It's fine if they don't want to stay in other houses, but there are so many empty houses in the backyard, why do they have to live next to them?
As they spoke, the master and servants returned to the warm pavilion together.
Sitting down at the dressing table, Yunxi couldn't help but ask curiously, "Who are the relatives on Madam's side of the family?"
“She’s the wife of the nephew of the eldest cousin of the madam’s uncle, so she’s practically the madam’s sister-in-law,” Le’an knew perfectly well. “She’s a troublesome woman. I heard that the madam was bullied by her a lot before she got married.”
Le'an was by Shen Rang's side and was also close to the servants on Zheng's side, often overhearing their conversations.
Speaking of the past, Yunxi asked curiously, "How could Madam have been bullied?"
"You don't know this, but our lady has had a hard life. Although she was born into a noble family, her father was mediocre and not valued at home. Her mother died in childbirth after giving birth to her, so her life was not easy from a young age."
"If that's the case, then how was the lady able to marry into the Marquis's household?"
