Ren Yaoqi raised his head and glanced at Qingmei calmly: "Go do what you need to do."
"Sister, I'm just here to serve tea..." Qingmei heard the displeasure in Ren Yaoqi's tone, bit her lip and defended herself, but when she looked up and met Ren Yaoqi's eyes, she was so scared that she immediately lowered her head again, not daring to say anything.
Nanny Xu was also startled by the sharp light that flashed in Ren Yaoqi's eyes just now. She lowered her head and stood solemnly with her hands hanging down.
Last time in the main room, Ren Yaoqi switched her and Grandma Gao with a joke. She thought Ren Yaoqi was a spoiled and somewhat willful child.
But after serving Ren Yaoqi for a day, she found that this fifth sister did not have the slightest bit of arrogant and unruly habits. She was very gentle and polite in her dealings with others. Among the maids, except Qingmei, the maid sent by the concubine, all the others knew that Ren Yaoqi was a good master with a good temper and was easy to serve.
But the look in Ren Yaoqi's eyes just now... although it wasn't vicious, and didn't even reveal too much emotion, it still made her, an adult woman who had experienced a lot, feel a little scared.
Nanny Xu couldn't help but secretly remind herself that she must be more cautious and rigorous in her actions in the future.
Pingguo and Qingmei both left, and Aunt Xu poured a cup of tea for Ren Yaoqi and placed it on the table in front of Ren Yaoqi.
"Madam, do you have something to say?" Ren Yaoqi turned a page of the book without looking up and said casually.
Aunt Xu thought for a moment and said, "Sister, is this childhood sweetheart no longer suitable for you?"
Ren Yaoqi paused when she heard this, raised her eyebrows and glanced at Aunt Xu with a gentle smile in her eyes: "What do you mean, Aunt Xu?"
Madam Xu didn't know why she felt a little awkward. She gathered herself before saying, "Although I've only been at Ziwei Courtyard for a day, I shouldn't be doing this. However, since I'm your housekeeper, it's my job to discipline the maids around you. It seems to me that Qingmei's heart isn't in Ziwei Courtyard anymore. If I keep her any longer, I'm afraid something might happen one day."
She has already figured out all the maids' details after just one day... This Aunt Xu is indeed not an ordinary person. Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but smile inwardly.
"Then what do you think, Madam?" Ren Yaoqi asked with a smile. "Qingmei and Xueli were both given to me by my aunt when she took over Ziwei Court. Besides them, there are several other maids and servants. However, I wasn't satisfied with them, so I had Madam Zhou send them away. But sending them all away would be a bit unkind, so I kept two. Xueli is steady and responsible, and Qingmei is a bit frivolous, but she hasn't made any major mistakes."
Madam Xu thought for a moment and said, "Snow Pear seems good to me. It would be nice if my sister wanted to keep it. But I'm afraid this Green Plum is not suitable."
Ren Yaoqi nodded: "Since the affairs of this room have been handed over to you, then you can do whatever you want, just don't make things awkward."
"Yes, I understand." Nanny Xu replied in a low voice.
Ren Yaoqi lowered his head and read again.
Aunt Xu quietly retreated.
As soon as Aunt Xu left, Ren Yaoqi put down the book in his hand, his eyes full of contemplation.
