Nanny Zhu smiled reservedly and sent Nanny Liu out.
After the others left, she took out the silver she had just obtained and looked at it carefully. The smile on the corner of her mouth was a bit disdainful and a bit satisfied: "You still want to play that trick on me, huh——"
Over there, Ren Yaoqi was sitting in the west side room of the main house, leisurely drinking tea. When she saw Nanny Zhou come in, she looked up at her and asked, "What's going on?"
Nanny Zhou stepped forward and bowed her head, saying, "I've already arranged everything according to your instructions." She looked at Ren Yaoqi hesitantly and said, "Sister, will this really work?"
Ren Yaoqi smiled at Madam Zhou and winked mischievously, "Madam, we'll see."
"But Aunt Fang stuffed in quite a few people..."
"There are advantages to having more people." After Ren Yaoqi finished speaking, she picked up the teacup and drank tea. Although Nanny Zhou still had some doubts in her heart, she did not ask any more questions.
In the afternoon, somehow, the news that Madam Liu had secretly bribed Madam Zhu and the two of them had used some unknown means to conspire to squeeze Madam Wei out spread like wildfire.
Although she didn't know whether the news was true or not, Wei Ma was furious. That night, while the masters were all at Ronghua Courtyard saying goodnight, she stood in the backyard with her hands on her hips and started cursing.
After all, Nanny Liu still felt a little guilty. Although she was angry after being scolded, she did not dare to go out to defend herself and just stayed indoors.
Perhaps Nanny Zhu was thick-skinned, or perhaps she understood that this matter was actually her master's intention, and she was just making a fortune, so she didn't take it too seriously. Anyway, if there was an investigation, it wouldn't be her fault.
Fortunately, Nanny Wei also knew her own limitations. When she heard that the masters had returned to the courtyard, she shut up, spat on Nanny Liu's door, and left.
But at night, someone who was worried about causing trouble secretly told Madam Liu about the person who leaked the news.
It turned out that it was her mortal enemy, Nanny Guan, who had heard about this matter from somewhere and then exaggerated it and told it to the old women in the backyard.
Upon hearing this, Madam Liu became even more furious with Madam Guan. The next morning, seeing Madam Guan's gloating smile, Madam Liu gritted her teeth, picked up the boiling water from the stove, and poured it on Madam Guan.
Nanny Guan jumped away, howling like a slaughtered pig. Fortunately, she was out of breath, and Nanny Liu didn't splash the water accurately, only splashing some on Nanny Guan's boots.
When Nanny Guan realized what was happening, she flew into a rage and screamed as she lunged at him. The two started fighting in the kitchen where the water was being boiled. The noise was so loud that it alerted Madam Li, who sent Nanny Zhu to see what was going on.
Nanny Zhu scolded Nanny Liu and Nanny Guan with a cold face, then scolded Nanny Liu alone for a long time, and then fined them both half a month's monthly salary.
The feud between Nanny Guan and Nanny Liu became even bigger.
As the twelfth lunar month approached, every household became increasingly busy. The various branches of the Ren family also began to busy themselves with replacing the furnishings in their courtyards and inner rooms. For example, the vases and ornaments in the inner rooms, which the masters had grown tired of over the year, were stored in the storeroom, where they would find new and fresh ones to display. The pomegranate bonsai in the Ziwei Courtyard was also replaced by Clivia and daffodils, as ordered by the Third Master.
