Based on He Jiuniang's many years of experience, she could tell at a glance that something was wrong, and immediately said, "If you have something to say, then say it."
For the sake of the little one, she could be more patient.
"Could you please sell me two more sets of skincare products, Madam?"
The maid looked very embarrassed and spoke with a guilty conscience, not daring to look He Jiu Niang in the eye.
"Why? Why does your grandmother use it so quickly?"
He Jiuniang asked this question on purpose, staring intently at the maid's face, not missing any changes in her emotions.
Actually, if her mother liked the set and wanted to buy another one for her old friend, she could understand, and would even be willing to sell her another set. But the maid's reaction was clearly wrong, and there must be something fishy going on. She wasn't going to be a victim of such a misunderstanding.
"No, no..."
The maid's eyes were red, and she didn't know how to start speaking for a moment.
They witnessed firsthand how their young mistress managed to buy these skincare products. It was only because Dr. He felt a connection with their young mistress that he only charged her a small amount as a token of appreciation. Otherwise, how could their young mistress afford such high-end products with her meager allowance?
But just because they knew doesn't mean their family knew. As soon as they saw her take the item home, they all started having ulterior motives, wanting to take advantage of the young lady's relationship.
"Speak quickly, I have other things to do!"
Seeing her hesitant manner, He Jiuniang immediately became unwilling. She could be extra patient because of the little one, but that didn't mean she could be without limits.
The maid was startled and hurriedly said, "Yes, I will tell you right away."
She glanced at the young lady who was still happily playing with the dog not far away and said, "After I went back, I ran into my two young mistresses. They knew that the young lady had bought skincare products from the madam and wanted to buy some too, so they sent me to ask..."
"It's that simple?"
He Jiuniang didn't believe it.
"yes……"
The maid felt even more guilty, wishing she could bury her head in the ground.
"If you're not going to tell the truth, don't waste my time."
He Jiuniang turned and walked away, not wanting to pay any attention to her.
The maidservant hurriedly stepped in front of her, kneeling down and saying, "I'll talk, I'll talk! It's because the two young mistresses heard that my young lady could buy such good things at a low price, so they also wanted to buy them from the madam at the same price..."
This time, He Jiuniang understood that the other party was trying to take advantage of her.
These days, no one dares to take advantage of her so blatantly.
Do you think it's possible?
He Jiuniang raised an eyebrow, her eyes full of amusement. She had just thought that the atmosphere at Xiao Naituan's home must be very good, otherwise how could the little guy be so sensible and cute? But now it seems that's not entirely true.
There are always a few bad apples trying to spoil the whole bunch.
The maid lowered her head guiltily. She also felt that the two young mistresses' demands were a bit excessive, but she was just a maid and could only do what her mistress told her to do. Moreover, this also involved the young lady's future life.
"Please, Madam, help me! My young lady has always lived with you and Master. Although you and Master love her dearly, the young masters and mistresses in the household don't like her and often find opportunities to bully her. If I don't handle this matter properly, they... they will definitely..."
She couldn't continue speaking. Every family has its own troubles. After what happened to her young lady, it's already a miracle that the young lady has grown up without her parents' care. They have always been responsible for taking care of the young lady, feeling sorry for her experiences and past, and they don't want the young lady's life to be too difficult.
He Jiuniang raised an eyebrow. Was there some juicy gossip going on?
Although it's not good to pry into other people's private affairs, this involves her interests, so she has no choice but to find out.
"Come in with me."
He Jiuniang randomly entered an empty private room; it was better to talk about these things in private.
The maid hesitated for a moment but followed her inside. She felt that this was an opportunity, and that her family's life might be much better in the future.
"Speak. I'm not someone you can easily manipulate. If you need my help, you'll have to tell me the truth."
He Jiuniang sat down, poured herself a glass of juice, and prepared a small plate of melon seeds, which are a must-have for those who enjoy eating melons.
The maid knew it was inappropriate to reveal her family's affairs, but thinking of the young mistress's life over the past few years, she gritted her teeth and spoke directly.
"The young lady is my young lady's daughter. Not long after she was born, her former husband divorced her on the pretext that he disliked that she was a girl, and quickly married another woman. My young lady had no choice but to take the young lady back to her parents' home. After a year at home, the young master and his wife became dissatisfied and forced the master and mistress to remarry her. However, her husband's family did not allow her to bring the young lady with her when she married, so the young lady has been raised by the master and mistress ever since."
The master and mistress doted on their young mistress, showering her with love and care from a young age, personally guiding and teaching her. With them around, the young mistress was able to live a good life.
However, the master and mistress often went out to play, and the young lady was not in good health and could not travel far, so she could only stay at home. The young master and his wives would take advantage of those times to bully the young lady.
Last year, my young lady was abducted. It was the two young mistresses who deliberately took her out, making her a target for human traffickers, which led to her experience... If it weren't for someone rescuing her, I don't know if my young lady would have survived...
"Madam, you are my young lady's benefactor. I dare to ask, please help her!"
As she spoke, the maid's voice trembled with tears, but she managed to hold them back by trying her best, which showed that her feelings for the little baby were genuine.
After listening for a while, He Jiuniang finally understood and asked, "You want me to sell two sets to your two young mistresses at a low price, so that they will treat your young lady well in the future out of consideration for this favor?"
To be honest, He Jiu Niang never expected that Xiao Nai Tuan's background was so tragic. Her biological father favored boys over girls and disliked her. He even used this as an excuse to divorce her mother. Her mother remarried, and she became a pitiful little girl without parents.
It's truly remarkable that I've survived so many trials and tribulations since childhood, yet I've still managed to grow into the person I am today.
The maid nodded. That was exactly what she thought. She only hoped that the young lady could spend her childhood peacefully, and when she grew up a bit, she could be betrothed to someone when she came of age, so that she wouldn't have to live under the thumb of the two young mistresses.
He Jiuniang said, "To be able to lay a hand on such a young child, your two young mistresses are quite amusing. Do you really think I'm easy to bully?"
With that thought, she decided to meet those two young mistresses.
