Chapter 22 Cover Up
"Big Boss's wife, what do you think about this matter?"
The elder lady twisted her Buddhist beads and looked at Liu who was standing beside her!
Liu's face was filled with a hint of anger. "Mother, it's not that I'm cruel. I just think it's best to get rid of such a shrewd servant as soon as possible! How old is You'er? You're trying to ruin her reputation. If this gets out, how will others view You'er?"
Liu was furious. It had only been a few days since she returned to Beijing, and already so many things had happened!
Her precious daughter, whom she held in her hands and doted on with all her heart, had suffered a series of unexpected disasters. First, she fell into the water and had a high fever and fell into a coma. As soon as she recovered from the illness, her reputation was tarnished by those mean slaves. Thinking about it, Liu felt as if there was a fire burning in her heart!
Madam Yuan Lao sighed, feeling somewhat regretful for her negligence over the years. She had not expected that her eldest son and his family had not been in the capital for all these years, causing some people in the mansion to forget who the real master of the general's mansion was. They even dared to gossip about the master so blatantly!
"I've sent someone to call Zhao Chun's wife. When the second girl arrives, we'll first clarify the matter. As for those wives and servants outside, you can deal with them!" The elder lady twisted her Buddhist beads and said slowly, "Now, you are in charge of the household expenses in the mansion. If those servants are useless, you can make the decision yourself. If you are dissatisfied, just come and tell me!"
Nanny Nan married Zhao Chun, the manager of the outer courtyard, and the older people called her Zhao Chun's wife.
"Yes, mother!" After hearing what the elder lady said, Liu's depression dissipated a little.
"Madam, the second young lady and Nanny are here!" The little girl came in and bowed.
"Come in!" The elder lady nodded.
Yuan Ziyu walked in with Qingying and Qingzhi. Nanny followed behind with her head slightly lowered. As soon as she came in, she didn't say a word and knelt on the ground with a "thump"!
At this time, Nanny Nan was very nervous. She didn't expect that what happened the day before would be brought out like this.
Now the old lady came to her to ask about what happened that day, but she still hadn't figured out how to reply to the old lady.
If she told the truth, not to mention whether the old lady would believe it, even if the purse was returned, she would have no evidence to prove what she said. In the end, she would still be charged with inciting and coercing her master. How could that be a good outcome?
But if those rumors were to be spread... Nanny Nan shuddered in her heart. The Second Young Lady was definitely not someone to be trifled with. If she offended the Second Young Lady, she would suffer the same consequences!
Nanny Nan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. A layer of cold sweat broke out on her forehead and her face turned pale.
"Grandma! Mother!" Yuan Ziyu bowed to Madam Yuan and Liu with a smile!
Seeing that Yuan Ziyu looked normal and hadn't behaved in the slightest, Madam Yuan felt a surge of joy in her heart. "Second girl, you know everything now, don't worry. Grandmother and your mother will take care of this matter for you!"
Liu also stepped forward and caressed Yuan Ziyu's hair lovingly: "You'er, what do you want to do with that naughty slave? Just tell me."
Yuan Ziyu bowed again and said, "Grandma, Mother, I know everything. It's just gossip, not true. I don't care. As for those gossipers, I'll deal with them accordingly!"
Madam Yuan nodded in satisfaction, looked at Liu and said, "Second girl is very generous, you taught her well!"
Liu smiled and said, "Mother, you are too kind!"
The elder lady turned to look at Nanny, who was kneeling on the ground, with a stern expression on her face. "Mrs. Zhao Chun, what exactly happened that day? What did you do to cause the second girl to bear such a bad reputation? If you don't explain yourself today, I will not forgive you!"
As she spoke, she slammed her hand on the table beside her. The crisp sound made Nanny Bai so distressed that she quickly picked up the Elder Madam's hand and rubbed it. It also made Nanny Nan's heart beat wildly!
Her face was pale, and her lips trembled slightly: "Old... Old lady, I... I thought... that day..."
Nanny Nan was so frightened that she couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time and she wished she could faint on the spot!
Madam Yuan was about to get angry when she saw this, but Yuan Ziyu smiled and said, "Grandmother, that day Nanny came to my courtyard to tell me what you said. Coincidentally, Qingying and Qingzhi were helping me choose clothes for the next day's greetings, and Nanny Nan joined in the discussion. Who knew she accidentally tripped over a stool and got a red mark on her face? We didn't think anything of it, but it ended up spreading such rumors."
The elder lady laughed when she heard this and said, "I was wondering what was going on, but it turned out to be like this!"
As she spoke, the elder lady looked at Nan Ma: "Zhao Chun's wife, what is it that is so difficult for you to talk about such a thing? You are actually so nervous!"
Nan Ma didn't know why Yuan Ziyu was trying to cover up for her, but she wouldn't miss this opportunity, so she quickly said with a smile, "Old lady, this is truly too embarrassing. You think I'm such a grown-up, and I just fell down on flat ground? It would be a joke if I told anyone about it!"
The elder lady pointed at Nanny Zhinan and said, "What a joke! You can't even stand on flat ground!"
Nan Ma smiled and said, "Yes, from now on, I will stand firm and not let others laugh at me!"
"Yes!" The elder lady nodded. "That's right! Get up now!"
Nanny Nan thanked her quickly, then stood up and stepped aside.
The elder lady then said to Liu, "Now that everything is clear, you can handle the situation with those naughty servants outside. I suspect it was probably this Zhao Chun family member who came out of the second girl's yard and someone saw the red marks on his face, and then spread the word, leading to this lawsuit!"
After hearing this, Liu lowered her eyes and said, "Yes, mother, do you have anything else to tell me?"
The elder lady thought for a moment and said, "That's it. Just take care of those wives and mothers-in-law!"
"Yes, mother!" Liu replied!
Yuan Ziyou lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then said, "Mother, can you let your daughter handle these people?"
Liu was worried that Yuan Ziyou might be soft-hearted, so she said, "That's fine, but You'er, you can't be soft-hearted. Those servants are so mean, you never know what they might do in the future!"
"It's my daughter's fault!" Yuan Ziyu hugged Liu's arm affectionately: "Mother, just don't worry!"
The elder lady laughed and said, "Second girl, you want to deal with these people yourself? I'll watch over you!"
After saying that, he turned to Liu and said, "My eldest daughter-in-law, please keep an eye on her and give her some pointers. It's time for the second girl to start learning some housekeeping skills!"
"Yes, mother, I've got it in mind!" Liu replied with a smile!
"Okay, call those wives and mothers-in-law in, and let's see how the second girl is going to deal with those servants!" The elder lady said with a smile!
