"Madam Xu?" Ren Yaoqi smiled slightly and called softly.
Only then did Aunt Xu lower her head and step forward, silently placing the tea tray in her hand on Kang's table, then she knelt down in front of Ren Yaoqi and said with her head down: "This servant deserves to die."
"Damn it?" Ren Yaoqi looked at the person kneeling respectfully before her. There was a hint of teasing in her smile: "Our Ren family isn't such an unreasonable family, is it? We can just let people die so easily? Are you trying to scare me, Madam Xu?"
Nanny Xu was surprised that Ren Yaoqi, who was always gentle and kind, would suddenly seize on such a common remark of hers. She was slightly stunned. "This servant deserves death" is actually a phrase used by servants to beg for mercy from their masters when they have done something wrong. No one really wants to die. Otherwise, they should say "Master, spare my life."
Although Madam Xu felt a little uneasy, she quickly calmed down: "I came here to deliver almond milk. I didn't mean to..."
Ren Yaoqi looked at her and listened to her explanation patiently, but she didn't let her get up. Aunt Xu seemed to feel that she was just making excuses, so she sighed in frustration and said, "I made a mistake, please punish me, sister."
Ren Yaoqi's eyes were always on Aunt Xu. After hearing what she said, she didn't answer immediately, as if she was really thinking about how to punish her.
However, Madam Zhou looked at Ren Yaoqi and then at Madam Xu, and couldn't help but say, "Sister, when I came in, I asked Madam Xu to bring the almond milk that Madam prepared for you. This is also my negligence."
These days, Nanny Zhou has also been secretly observing Nanny Xu. After all, it was she who stepped up to assign Nanny Xu and Nanny Gao to the sisters Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua. She thought that if they were not good, she would replace them early.
However, after observing them for a while, Madam Zhou was very satisfied with both Madam Xu and Madam Gao. Madam Gao's warmth and generosity perfectly complemented Ren Yaohua's stern and arrogant nature, and the relationship between master and servant was surprisingly harmonious. Madam Xu, Ren Yaoqi's housekeeper, was calm and rigorous, with a balanced demeanor and the ability to handle important matters.
Li and Madam Zhou originally wanted to select right-hand men and helpers for the two sisters, but Madam Zhou felt that Ren Yaoqi's attitude towards Madam Xu was a little confusing. Although she had handed over all the affairs in her room to Madam Xu, and Madam Xu had completed them well, Madam Zhou still felt that Ren Yaoqi did not trust Madam Xu and even had some rejection of her.
Madam Zhou had always wanted to ask Ren Yaoqi what he was thinking, but she had never found the opportunity to ask. In her opinion, Madam Xu was a rare right-hand man. If Ren Yaoqi could accept her, she would definitely be of great help in the future. She felt that Madam Xu was trustworthy.
Ren Yaoqi had also been paying attention to Aunt Xu quietly for a while. It had to be said that Aunt Xu was indeed a capable person. If it weren't for Ren Yaoqi's experience in her previous life, she would have definitely found ways to win over such a talent as Aunt Xu and use her for her own benefit.
Ren Yaoqi had never noticed anything amiss with Aunt Xu. She had secretly asked Yuan Dayong to investigate her, and she knew she truly had only one son, whose background was completely unremarkable. It was as if the daughter who had inexplicably appeared in her previous life had never existed.
