Lin Shu who was seated at the side could not help but sigh. It was unknown when her mother's temperament would change, when her mother had given them feedback during Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion competition, the people around her were usually more respectful and more afraid, but now that Auntie Zhong had received feedback from them, everyone was more respectful and respectful to her.
Although the matter was not big, it was not small either. According to the rules, she would have to deduct three months' worth of silver from that woman.
Originally, the wife's face was filled with indignation, but in the end, the Auntie Zhong laughed and took out his money to give her a month's worth of silver. Furthermore, if the wife were unable to continue on, she would just come looking for her.
Even when she was under the command of the Princess Changze, she didn't seem to have suffered any losses. In fact, ever since Lin Lian had gone to the Duke Chengan Palace, she had been a little afraid of the Auntie Zhong. Every time Auntie Zhong went to the Duke Chengan Palace, Shao Shengping would always treat her badly.
Now it would seem that he wasn't wronged.
The lady was originally made of water, and many times she would clash head on, and would never gain any benefits, following her mother's previous actions, she would definitely suppress the wife to the point where she would not even dare to speak behind her back, but Auntie Zhong's actions, she was afraid that the wife would secretly praise Auntie Zhong again.
Seeing that Peony was about to leave, Lin Shu finally said softly, "Sister Peony, please wait."
The peony stopped in its tracks.
Even the Madam Lian could not help but ask, "Sister Shu, what is going on?"
I know you cannot allow Auntie Zhong to ride on your back and act arrogantly. After all, you did not put her in your eyes at all in the beginning, so no matter how much she jumps, it would not affect you. As long as you pinch her, Grandmother would turn a blind eye. But it's different now, since Auntie Zhong has taken over the role of host, I believe Grandmother and the others will definitely give Auntie Zhong some face. " Lin Shu caressed the tea Gu with her white and tender fingers, and said slowly: "Three years isn't a long time, and isn't a short time either."
"Originally, I thought that even Lin Lian would lose her favour in front of Grandmother due to her relationship with Auntie Zhong, but I never thought that she would still be living well in Green Pine Academy. She even asked Nanny Chen to cook a meal just now, and her demeanor was similar to that of a young lady from Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion."
"And the Auntie Zhong, this isn't simple either. Although there aren't many aunties in the palace, at least First Uncle and second uncle still have a few aunties by their side. Even if their Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion really falls to that of an aunt's butler, according to their seniority, it would still be her turn? However, not only was she able to persuade Grandmother to give her the authority to host the competition, she was also able to raise Grandmother's opinion of her by a few points. Second Aunt even spoke a few words with her just now. "
In fact, she could faintly guess what Grand Madam was thinking. Because of the matter regarding Princess Changze, the mother, daughter, and the Grand Madam had a falling out. Grand Madam did not care about it on the surface, but how could he not care about it in his heart? He must have deliberately flattered the Auntie Zhong to trample on the mother and daughter pair.
However, just now, when she was at the Green Pine Academy, she saw Grand Madam's side. Cui Li, Mu Lan, and the other maids were extremely respectful to the Auntie Zhong.
The Madam Lian was very simple to begin with. After staying in the villa to recuperate for three years, she did not have the slightest shrewdness, "Then according to what you said, should we continue to tolerate this for now? I do not care about the monthly allowance, but rather, I am living. Can it be that Peony and the others have served me for more than ten years, and now that they have returned, they have become second class maids in Fanghua Garden?
As she said that, she became even angrier: "Actually, the reason why I agreed to return to the capital this time round is because of what you said, and also because of Peony and the others. Now that they aren't young anymore, and have grown up with me, and know how to read and write, I can't bear for them to casually match up with a farmer. Now that they have come back, they actually want to find a good marriage for them. But now that they don't even have any face, how can they talk about a good marriage? "
As the head maid of the master's side, even if it was a good marriage, she was only the son of the head steward. As the head maid of the master's side, even if it was a good marriage, she was only the son of the steward.
The reason why he married his master's serving maid was to rely on his master's authority. If he married her in front of his master, would he marry her and use her as a decoration?
Lin Shu said: "I know what you are thinking, don't worry, but this matter does not mean that we can ignore it. It is just that it is not too late to first probe how deep the water is in the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, I have already sent Yun Dou out to inquire, I am afraid there will be news about it soon."
By the evening, Cloudbean had already heard all the news. "..." You should know that the Nanny Wei is a person that had been planted by the Grand Madam. The other big servant girl in the Linglong Pavilion is actually the cousin of the mother beside her, and there are also a few second class maids that are related to the servants around the masters of the He’s Mansion. "
"As for the Madam, she's even more amazing. The Steward Nanny in the Fanghua Garden is now Nanny Chen's younger cousin, and one of the big servant girls is even a big sister by the side of Duke Master's servants …"
Lin Shu's head spun very quickly, and she said unhurriedly: "Auntie Zhong sure knows how to do favors!"
Although the servant girls were servants, they were extremely useful at critical moments. All of them were talking about the Auntie Zhong in front of their masters, it seemed that Auntie Zhong was truly a good person.
"Then, then what should we do now? Could it be that we will allow the Auntie Zhong to act like a good person? " Actinin Qin was extremely anxious, if Madam knew about this, she would be extremely angry. Madam normally does not think much of these underhanded methods, but all of these underhanded methods are extremely useful.
Lin Shu did not even put this insignificant Auntie Zhong in his eyes, "Let's just let her play around for a few more days, I want to see how she can continue to be arrogant for a few more days."
Auntie Zhong was her master in this life. She didn't know how many times Auntie Zhong had tricked her, but it was about time for her to return the favor.
After a few days, Lin Shu said that she wanted to buy flowers and trees with her Fanghua Garden.
Sending help to buy more oily water at the side of Fifth Madam added at least another 50% to it. Who didn't know that Fifth Madam of Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion were rich and imposing, and would choose the best regardless of what they did.
The Fifth Madam did not like the flowers and flowers that were usually provided by the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, and it would be best if he could go to the imperial merchant to purchase them. As long as the Fifth Madam and the others were happy, the silver would only be a small matter.
It had to be known that the Nanny Wei was actually a very rich person, relying on her own mother who was by her side, every time Actinin Qin greeted her, she would always want to go up to the sky and only say "En" through her nose.
How many times had Yun Dou told Lin Shu in private, she just couldn't wait for the Nanny Wei to stumble over him again, and she would clap and cheer for him at the side.
But in the past few days, his attitude towards Lin Shu had been extremely friendly. Not only did he try to act good in front of Lin Shu, he even acted like he was close to Actinin Qin and Yun Dou.
Lin Shu pretended to not understand, but Nanny Wei was unavoidably a little anxious, and she even secretly stuffed a gold-plated silver bracelet to Actinin Qin.
Actinin Qin naturally would not accept her. She did not want to have anything to do with the Nanny Wei.
Lin Shu then ordered Yun Dou to accept the bracelet. When she accepted the bracelet, she even said that she would need to discuss this with the Fifth Madam and herself.
As for the Fanghua Garden, even more people started to get close to the peony and hibiscus.
Lin Shu counted a few times, and there were at least ten women who wanted to take on this large sum of fat. She then passed down the order for each of them to agree to the other one's demands.
When the day of selection arrived, Lin Shu woke up early in the morning to see Nanny Wei looking like it was New Year. She had changed into a new set of clothes, and even applied Snowflower Ointment, making him look much more energetic.
She could not help but laugh and ask, "Is mother happy about something today? Early in the morning, looking at the joyous expression on her mother's face, it seems like she hasn't stopped! "
Yo, you're still playing dumb with an old woman like her!
However, Nanny Wei thought about it and bought it, it was indeed a fat purchase, who knows how many people were staring at it, then she held back her laughter: "Isn't it because I saw that the miss has returned, and the weather was good, I took out the new clothes I wasn't willing to wear previously, and tidied myself up, doesn't the miss feel happy looking at this?"
After saying that, she continued, "Miss is going to the Fanghua Garden, do you want this servant to accompany you there?" She thought that if she could show her face in front of the Madam Lian, she might have more good jobs like this in the future.
Lin Shu did not stop her and laughed: "Mom is already wearing new clothes, so Mom should follow me out to show off."
These words were taunting in the eyes of the Nanny Wei, it was a joke between him and the Fourth Miss, but it couldn't be that the Fourth Miss considered him as one of her own?
Waiting for the master and servants to go to Fanghua Garden, Madam Lian was already waiting there. The one who stood in the lead was the woman who answered to Madam Lian earlier, she was surnamed Tong, now her face was full of happiness. On the other hand, the few women beside her didn't look too good.
Lin Shu walked forward and said with a smile: "Why are you sitting at side chamber when you're perfectly fine? "But what's the matter?"
When Madam Lian saw his daughter, she couldn't hide her smile, "It's just a small matter. Didn't you say that you wanted to plant some vines in the yard and wait for the summer to come so you could lie down on the bamboo chair and eat grapes? Although these vines are very common, they are definitely good. I'm currently picking someone to buy them for you! "
Nanny Wei who was standing behind Lin Shu couldn't help but straighten her back, instantly stroking her glossy hair.
But at the next moment, Madam Lian smiled and said: "We have already set Mother Tong. Mother Tong is an old man that follows by my side after all, so this kind of small matter will not be difficult for her."
