Chapter 266 Trivia
Feng Yan has always been a thoughtful person.
The chosen villa was not far from the Fan family's house, and its location was excellent. It was convenient for Chu Ci and his wife to check on the progress of the Fan family's house at any time, but they were not too close to be disturbed by the noise.
During this period, Feng Yan's housekeeper acted very efficiently. Not only did he arrange all matters in an orderly manner, he also sent people to safely pick up Taoist Yunshang, Qianxue, and Qianyan who were already in the inn.
Chu Ci couldn't help but sigh: "As expected of a housekeeper trained by the head of the family, he is thorough and considerate in everything he does."
Thinking of this, Chu Ci couldn't help but recall that before the Fan family faced the misfortune of having their property confiscated and exiled, they let many people go in order to leave a way for their servants to survive.
He had a plan in mind, but Chu Ci knew very little about the Fan family, so he didn't propose it rashly.
But what they didn’t expect was that the next day, Chu Ci and his party opened the door of the Fan family not long after.
Many servants who had been released from the Fan family and stayed in the capital were actually brought back.
An old maid in the lead, holding the hand of a young servant beside her, said with tears in her eyes and a trembling voice: "Sir, it's really you."
"I long for the Fan family's return day and night. These days, I pray every day that the Fan family can see the light of day again. I dream of returning to serve the Fan family again!"
"Xiao Wu, come quickly and meet the Master!"
Although her words were sincere, there was only Fan Jingrui in her eyes, as if she, Qianxue and Qianyan were transparent and she completely ignored them.
Chu Ci then quietly turned his head to look at Qianxue, lowering his voice and asking, "Which room's maid is this from? Why is she so clueless? She has absolutely no regard for the others present."
Qianxue and Qianyan's expressions were not very good at this time.
Qianxue frowned and said angrily, "She's from Grandma's family, and she's the most patriarchal. She usually tries to please the young masters in the mansion, fawning over them, but treats us young ladies differently, speaking coldly and making things difficult for us."
Chu Ci was filled with surprise and couldn't help but blurt out: "Grandma? Wasn't she the one who always paid the most attention to rules? How could she allow the maids in the courtyard to act like this?"
When Qianxue heard Chu Ci ask this, she felt as if she had returned to the days when she was being manipulated by Wang Pozi. Her face was filled with resentment. "But Wang Pozi didn't break the rules of the Fan family! On the surface, she can't find any fault with her, but in private, she does all kinds of disgusting things."
Even Qian Yan couldn't help but say, "Back then, the Fourth Madam was able to avoid being exposed thanks to the help of Mrs. Wang, who said a lot of good things to Grandma."
…
At this point, Chu Ci had a clear idea in his mind. Someone like Wang Pozi, with ill intentions and a fawning attitude, must not be allowed to stay.
Just as Chu Ci had made up his mind, on the other side, Wang Po couldn't wait to kneel down with her grandson.
"Please take us in, young master. I will do my best to repay your kindness. Even if I have to work like a slave, I will have no complaints."
Seeing Wang Po's actions, the others followed suit and knelt down, saying in unison, "Master, Miss. We can return and continue to serve the Fan family! We hope that Master and Miss will show mercy."
They all had earnest looks on their faces and eyes full of expectation, hoping to get a response.
"Sister-in-law--" Qianxue and Qianyan became anxious upon seeing this.
They grabbed Chu Ci's sleeves tightly and said anxiously, "It doesn't matter to the others, but we really don't want Wang Po to come back. She disgusted us a lot when she was in the mansion. If she comes back, who knows how much trouble she will cause."
Upon hearing this, Chu Ci quickly patted their hands and soothed them, "Don't worry, don't worry. I will definitely talk to your eldest brother and make a decision for you."
But before Chu Ci could speak, Fan Jingrui did not directly agree to Wang Po's request. Instead, he asked with a serious expression, "Are you the only ones left after we released it?"
"If not, go and inform one or two others."
"Then I will combine your respective strengths and arrange new tasks for you."
"As long as you work sincerely for the Fan family, the Fan family will not treat you unfairly."
"But if you have ill intentions and try to sneak into the Fan family for personal gain, the Fan family will never let you off easily!"
When Fan Jingrui said this, everyone present was shocked and their hearts tightened.
But there were also some people who were quick-witted. As soon as Fan Jingrui finished speaking, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Sir, I, the Sixth Servant, know where Uncle Wen and Madam Meng are. I will go and inform them right away and ensure that they are brought to you as soon as possible. I will not delay your arrangements."
Fan Jingrui nodded, and soon Liuzi hurried away at a trot.
None of those who could get the news and rush here in such a short time were simple people.
Soon, except for Mrs. Wang and her grandson Xiaowu, all the other people who came over left and went to busy themselves with notifying other people.
Only Mrs. Wang and her grandson Xiaowu were left, and both of them were filled with anxiety.
If Nanny Meng came, the ugly things she had done before would no longer be able to cover up.
At the critical moment, his new brain still worked well. Although he was extremely scared, Xiao Wu still trembled and pulled Wang Pozi's sleeve, saying in a trembling voice: "Grandma, let's go and call for help? Otherwise, there will be no chance."
After hearing what her grandson said, Mrs. Wang also reacted. "Okay, okay."
She nodded repeatedly, looking flustered.
Unfortunately, they were just about to leave.
After learning from Chu Ci what Wang Po had done, Fan Jingrui called them over and said, "Madam Wang, if I remember correctly, you are from Grandma's courtyard, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang froze, her body tensed instantly, and even beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. However, she did not dare to be negligent in the slightest, and quickly turned around and responded with her head down.
People with hidden motives are prone to feeling guilty about everything. Wang Po's voice trembled, but she forced herself to remain calm and asked, "What are your instructions, sir?"
However, Fan Jingrui did not question it. Instead, he said in a gentle tone, "Grandma won't be coming to the capital in the short term. If Nanny Wang is willing, you can wait at the manor that the emperor has just granted you, and help find out what's going on there."
"When Grandma returns to the capital, it won't be too late for you to come back and serve her. The farm is peaceful and tranquil, and the produce is quite abundant. You can rest well there this time."
"I wonder if Nanny Wang is willing?"
This is simply a piece of cake!
If Wang Po was still a little afraid at first, then after being bombarded with Fan Jingrui's sugar-coated bullets, she was completely bewildered: "Yes, this old slave is willing."
Fan Jingrui's smile didn't reach his eyes; his deep pupils held an elusive light. "Well, when the broker comes over and signs the indenture, I'll take you two over."
