Chapter 642: The Bullied Piao Yunyuan
Once again, I stepped into Duke Xingguo's Mansion. The door of the mansion was wide open. I saw Shao Wanru's carriage approaching. A group of people hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Their respect was even more respectful than at Princess Ruian's Mansion.
It makes people feel that everyone is fawning over Miss Shao Wu in front of them.
After being welcomed in, he first went to see the Madam. This time, the Madam finally saw her without feeling ill. Although her expression was a little lukewarm, she was able to squeeze out some of what can be called a trace of anger on her face. With a kind expression, he asked about some things in Huaguang Temple.
The most important thing is to ask about Chu Liuchen's assassination. Now there is a crazy rumor outside that Shao Wanru saved Chu Liuchen's life.
Although Chu Liuchen's life has always been precarious, his life has always been extremely precious. Shao Wanru saved her life, which was equivalent to losing face in front of the Queen Mother. Even though Mrs. Xingguo was secretly angry, there was nothing she could do. .
She could not give face to Shao Wanru, but she had to give face to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother had just sent rewards and praised Shao Wanru repeatedly. She also sent someone to tell Mrs. Xingguo that she would have to observe filial piety for three years. , I will be in the house for the next period of time, there is not much time left.
Although it is said that keeping mourning in Huaguang Temple is more filial, most people will keep it at home. Shao Wanru has done a good job. He has been keeping the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha for so long, even in the capital. The first one!
Since the Queen Mother has spoken like this, how dare the Queen Mother disobey her? Fortunately, the yard was prepared before and was managed by Shao Wanru's own housekeeper, so there is no problem in moving in now!
"Grandma, I don't know much about His Highness King Chen. I happened to meet him at that time, so I stopped him without thinking too much. Fortunately, His Highness is fine!" Shao Wanru said honestly.
"Can you tell who it is?" Mrs. Xingguo said softly, with obvious concern.
"I didn't see it. It was very chaotic at the time, and it happened suddenly. I accidentally bumped into it..." Shao Wanru shook his head and frowned slightly.
"Nothing can be found at all. Can't you find it?" Mrs. Xingguo asked again.
Shao Wanru shook his head.
"Go down and have a good rest first. You don't have to go to Huaguang Temple next. If something happened with King Chen, Huaguang Temple will have to investigate again. You won't be quiet if you stay there. Just stay at home to observe mourning." !" Seeing that she couldn't figure out what was going on, the madam's expression became cold.
"Yes!" Shao Wanru had already expected such a result. He stood up and bowed respectfully, turned to leave, but paused when he reached the door. There were some gifts on the table by the window. , there are some satins with beautiful textures and some other gorgeous embroidery patterns on the brocade boxes.
At first glance, he knew it was not an ordinary thing. He narrowed his water eyes slightly and walked out of the door with a calm look as if he didn't see the pile of gifts.
Those are rewards from the palace!
Yu Jie came up to her outside the door with an angry look on her face. Fortunately, she could still hold it in. When she saw Shao Wanru's calm face, she took a deep breath and suppressed the anger she just felt. This young lady can do it. If he could bear it, what could a maid of his own not bear? He glared hatefully at the proud maid next to him and followed behind Shao Wanru.
The master and the servant left the madam's yard one after another and returned to their own yard. At the gate of the yard, Aunt Yu was already waiting there early. When she saw Shao Wanru coming, she immediately greeted her and came to greet her.
"Is everything arranged?" Shao Wanru asked as he walked inside.
"Everything has been arranged. The eldest princess brought a few people over to help with the packing. After the eldest princess's people returned, Mrs. Xingguo sent some people over, and the servants picked some second-class and third-class people. Waiting for you, maid and mother-in-law." Aunt Yu said as she went in to greet Shao Wanru.
The eldest princess of Ruian was Shao Wanru's grandmother. She could not have full power to intervene in the affairs of the Xingguo Palace. She only asked people to help Aunt Yu clean up the yard, and then went back. The Xingguo Palace sent many people over, and Aunt Yu chose Those that look good are placed in the yard.
As for the share of the eldest maid, Shao Wanru already has Yujie, Qule, and Yi Qingyue, so there are three. Although the eldest lady of aristocratic families often has four maids, there are usually only two or three. , and the quota will not be filled until it is time to get married.
Shao Wanru now has three, which is quite a lot. Even Shao Yanru, the eldest lady of Xingguo Duke's mansion, doesn't seem to be qualified enough.
The nun in charge is Aunt Yu. Aunt Zheng also went to Piaoyun Courtyard where Shao Wanshi lives now as the upbringing nun. When Aunt Zheng came, she came with the people of the eldest princess Ruian, because They were from Princess Ruian, and they also said they would leave after helping. The Xingguo Palace did not embarrass them and allowed them to enter the Xingguo Palace.
After that, the people from Ruian Grand Duke's Mansion left, leaving Grandma Zheng alone and no one noticed.
Aunt Zheng, who stayed in Piaoyun Courtyard, was temporarily acting as Aunt Yu's deputy, helping Aunt Yu handle affairs. Although Aunt Yu was loyal, she must have failed to do a lot of things due to problems with her vision. Zheng Grandma gave her a helping hand, which allowed her to better arrange the entire yard.
Fortunately, Aunt Zheng made the whole yard much more organized, and it was possible to live in it after Shao Wanru returned home early.
However, some places are still very unsatisfactory. The head of Duke Xingguo's mansion must be Mrs. Xingguo. It is very inconvenient for Aunt Yu, a foreign servant, to beg for things from the powerful Mrs. Xingguo!
Qingyue also came here with Aunt Zheng. When she heard that Shao Wanru was back, a group of confidants met Shao Wanru in the house and talked about what happened at the Xingguo Duke's Mansion during this time.
The first is Aunt Jade.
"Miss, when I first came here, although this courtyard could accommodate people and the things were complete, many things were not very good. Not to mention the things in the eldest princess's house, they were worse than what the young lady had in the Qin house before. On the surface, It looks very glamorous, but in fact it’s nothing, it just looks good!”
Aunt Yu said angrily that when she came to Xingguo Duke's Mansion, she asked for nothing, but no one refused her outright. Even when she wanted something, one person would push that one, and that one would push another one. She would often be busy all day long. , and can't find anyone who can make the decision.
"Miss, the same is true for the slaves. Whenever our Piaoyun Courtyard needs something, they all shirk it, as if no one wants to get involved with our Piaoyun Courtyard. They can always argue over every little thing. Nothing could be done, and it was our Piaoyun Academy that made the mistake in the end!"
Qingyue, who has always had a good temper, also said angrily.
Fortunately, the young lady has not lived in the Xingguo Duke's Mansion in the past three years, or just because of these things, the young lady would have been rubbed to death. Moreover, the young lady was still young at the time, and even if she had something to say, it would be inconvenient to say it, in the entire Xingguo Duke's Mansion. Here, the lady has nothing to rely on.
"Miss, when I was standing outside the door just now, the maid next to the wife was talking to the slave as if she was giving alms to the slave, and was instructing the slave to take this and that. The slave thought that the young lady would be the one in the house. Put up with it!" Yu Jie thought of what happened just now and said angrily.
I just arrived at Duke Xingguo's mansion today. Even if there is something wrong with Yu Jie, I can only endure it, otherwise, how will others see my young lady!
"Yes, the slave came back first. He asked the women and maids he met on the road how they came to Piaoyun Courtyard. They all seemed to have poison in their bodies. Some even answered the slave, "Some are... They hurriedly avoided it, and some even spat at the slaves!"
Qu Le also said angrily, she had just come back with Qing'er after entering the door, and she was very angry after walking all the way here.
Shao Wanru smiled slightly, and there was a trace of darkness in his water eyes. The entire Xingguo Duke's palace didn't want to see her. This was what she thought, but she was no longer the same person three years ago. Although she was fourteen years old, She had no right to speak, but no one could dismiss what she said as the words of a child.
There are a lot of girls who are thirteen or fourteen years old who are discussing marriage, but they are not considered children!
With the buffer of nearly three years, it is not that easy for the Xingguo government to control itself. Moreover, some patterns have also changed a lot in the past three years.
Duke Xingguo's Mansion did not dare to go too far. This time, he returned with Chu Liuchen's life-saving grace!
"Don't worry, Aunt Yu, please let the people in our yard come over and meet me on the porch first!" Shao Wanru said after pondering for a moment.
"Yes, I will send someone over immediately!" Aunt Yu nodded. Shao Wanru entered the Piaoyun Courtyard as he originally thought. It was necessary to establish his authority. The person sent over by Mrs. Xingguo just looked good. The specific details, whether he was loyal or who he belonged to, Aunt Jade could not find out for the time being.
After Aunt Yu called everyone over and organized them, Shao Wanru walked out with Qu Le, Yu Jie and Qing Yue and stood in the corridor.
Aunt Zheng didn't come out, Shao Wanru had other plans!
There were more than a dozen second- and third-class maids and wives standing in the yard. They all looked at the young lady standing in the corridor in amazement, the fifth young lady who was the most unpopular in the Xingguo Palace! Didn't expect it to be so outstanding?
The servants of Duke Xingguo's Mansion have always been the most proud of their eldest lady. There is no one in the capital who can compare with the eldest lady in both talent and beauty. But what's going on with this one now? Didn't you say that the fifth young lady is the worst? She was also the least liked by Mrs. Tai and his wife, but no one expected that the fifth young lady was so beautiful.
Even though she was standing in the corridor with a straight face, she was still stunningly beautiful, but she was just a little more sinister than the young lady who was always smiling and dignified! One look and you can tell it’s not someone to be trifled with!
Doesn’t it mean that without the love of the dowager and the madam, there is no confidence? Why is this Miss Shao Wu so confident? It seems that she wants to clean up her servants fiercely?
Without the support of the Madam and Madam, why should she!
The maids and mothers-in-law were whispering to each other in twos and threes. They were so surprised that they couldn't help but start talking in low voices on the spot.
Of course, there is a certain degree to this discussion. Anyway, the fifth lady hasn't said anything yet, so it doesn't matter if they just talk in a low voice...
