The two maids came directly to Madam Xiao's yard after leaving the main courtyard. They waited at the door for a long time before the old lady let them in.
Old Madam Xiao was a little angry. The two of them had been gone for a long time. Every time she was summoned for questioning, she was told that the teaching had not started yet. She had already found good people again, and she could ask them to go back today.
"What's going on between you two?"
The two of them looked at each other, neither daring to speak first. It was only after Mother Li next to them suggested it that they took over.
"Is there any movement from the Madam's side?"
One of the maids stepped forward and replied, "Reporting to the old lady, when the two of us went to see her today, she initially disagreed."
After hearing this, Madam Xiao's face became even darker. She was just a scholar's daughter, and she didn't even consider her own status.
When the nanny saw that the old lady looked unhappy, she quickly continued.
"At first, we thought Madam was unwilling, but then Madam told us, she said..."
"What did you say? Why are you hesitating?"
A nanny nearby saw the nanny next to her seeming to want to say something but hesitated, and was afraid that the old lady would be angry, so she quickly continued to answer.
"Replying to the old lady, the lady said that after the old lady said that day, she tried it on the Marquis that night, but the Marquis didn't react at all."
Old Madam Xiao's hand holding the teacup just stopped in mid-air, motionless, and she asked again in a trembling voice, as if she hadn't heard clearly.
"Say what you said again."
"This servant said that Madam has already tried it on the Marquis, but the Marquis...didn't react."
The porcelain shattered to the ground, and the tea splashed everywhere, wetting half of the tassel cushion next to it. The tea dripped from the tassels, which seemed extremely abrupt in the extremely quiet room at that moment.
Old Madam Xiao always felt that although her grandson had become a living dead, the doctor said that except for not being able to wake up, he was fine in other aspects.
The reason he married this woman was to hope that she could leave some bloodline for the Marquis' Mansion.
But now, this marquisate is likely to be destroyed by this lineage.
"Old lady..."
Mother Li wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know how to start.
"Get out."
"yes."
The two maids went out, and only Old Madam Xiao and Mother Li were there. Old Madam Xiao couldn't help but lie on Mother Li and cry loudly.
"You can tell me what a miserable life this child has. At such a young age, his grandfather took him to the battlefield. He finally made it to the position of general, but this happened. His good marriage was ruined, and he couldn't even have a child. This child has a miserable life."
Mother Li was also in tears. She had watched Xiao Qingze grow up and thought he had a bright future, but something like this happened to him.
"Old lady, just cry. It will be better if you cry."
The two of them made quite a noise, and the maids and servants outside also heard it, so the news naturally reached Jiang Rongxi.
Chunlan lowered her head and talked about what happened at Old Madam Xiao's place, her eyes were red.
Jiang Rongxi, on the other hand, did not feel any guilt at all.
Because she felt that if she had not come, they would have ended up like that, or even worse.
.
The three days passed quickly, and Tang Wan rushed over early in the morning. She felt that even if Jiang Rongxi married Marquis Wu Ding, she would still be her cousin, and she would be half the master of this mansion.
So she came to see the housekeeper early in the morning and told him about her relationship with Jiang Rongxi.
I thought the housekeeper would take her in respectfully.
In the end, he still acted so high and mighty, which made her feel unhappy. She made a note that when she became the master of the Marquis's Mansion, she would definitely sell out this housekeeper.
She followed the housekeeper through many twists and turns into the backyard, and then was led inside by a maid.
Tang Wan kept looking around. She had never seen such a big and nice house in her life. The thought of living here forever made her more and more excited.
But she kept walking in, further and further away, and the person leading her changed several times. She couldn't help but ask, "Sister, where are we going? Why haven't we arrived yet?"
This little maidservant was quite pretty. Before the Marquis fell ill, the servants in the Marquis's mansion all thought that she would become his concubine. Relying on her good looks, she always looked down upon others.
The little maid saw that she was obviously older than herself, yet she still called her sister, so she said angrily, "Of course she went to the lower room. This mansion is big, so the way to the lower room is naturally far."
After the little maid finished speaking, she rolled her eyes at Tang Wan, thinking that she looked like she had never seen the world.
Tang Wan was anxious. Why would she go to the servants' room? Even if there were no servants in her family, she naturally knew that the servants' room was where the servants lived. How could she live there? She was the cousin of the lady of the marquis's mansion.
According to her idea, she should live in the same courtyard with Jiang Rongxi, even if her place is worse than Jiang Rongxi's, but how can she live in the lower room?
At this moment, she was no longer paying attention to the scenery of the Marquis' Mansion.
She said to the little maidservant in a slightly anxious voice, "Sister, are you mistaken? I'm not here to be a servant. My cousin is the wife of your Marquis' Mansion. She just married in not long ago."
She wondered if Jiang Rongxi had forgotten about this.
"I know. Madam has informed the housekeeper that her cousin is coming over. We are taking you in now."
"Yes, but shouldn't I have come here to see Rong Xi first?"
The little maid suddenly stopped, and Tang Wan thought that she was going to be taken away, so she felt a little relieved.
But when she thought she was about to change direction, she heard the maid sigh impatiently.
"Since you're new here, I have to remind you a few things. Now that you've entered the Marquis's mansion as a maid, you can no longer call her Madam by her maiden name. Instead, you must call her Madam like everyone else."
Then he paused and continued, "Besides, you can't just see the Madam whenever you want."
She also wanted to see the lady and serve her.
Tang Wan wanted to say something, but the little maid shut her up with a look.
She didn't expect things to be like this after coming here. It seems she can only find another chance to talk to Rong Xi about it.
She was taken to the lower room, where the maid took her directly to the end of a large bunk bed. "This is your position. Someone will come to take you there and tell you what you will do every day."
The little maidservant left after she finished speaking, not giving Tang Wan any chance to speak.
Now that there was no one in the room, she could only put down her luggage first. When she pulled back the quilt, a very foul smell of feet rushed into her nose, almost making her vomit out the pancakes she had just eaten in the morning.
