Chapter 90 Urgently Hiring Someone
Her face was full of excitement and excitement.
She said to Du Jingyi.
"Madam, they are fighting, they are fighting!"
Both Du Jingyi and Yingtao were confused by what she said, so Yingtao spoke up.
"Didn't I ask you to go to Yunjin Courtyard to deliver something? Why did they fight?"
Lizhu came forward and said without even bothering to salute.
"The third and fifth rooms are fighting in Yunjin Courtyard. I... I just arrived at the door and heard the noise inside. The maids and old women surrounded them in a circle, and no one dared to step forward to stop them."
"What are they fighting about? Could it be that the third and fifth rooms know each other's dirty thoughts?"
Yingtao then asked another question.
"I don't know. As soon as I heard the news, I rushed back to tell Madam. I guess they are still fighting now."
Hearing this, Du Jingyi smiled slightly and said to Yingtao.
"Go get some food and fill your stomach first. There might be a tough battle later."
When the two maids heard this, their eyes were full of excitement.
After waiting for so long, they finally got a handle to deal with these people.
So they don't have to be "held hostage" by them every day, and really think they are a dish.
So, Yingtao hurried to the small kitchen to get some ready-made food, and the master and servants filled their stomachs first.
When Madam Jiao, as her name suggests, rushed to the East Garden with a hurried face.
Du Jingyi and others were already full and ready to go to the "battlefield".
Outside the East Garden, Madam Jiao brought a lot of people. I don't know if they are going to cause trouble for the East Garden.
This time, it alarmed many people.
Butler He was not there, and Madam Dou was also out, so naturally it was Madam Cai who showed up.
When she faced Madam Jiao, she used to be a little afraid.
But she has learned a lot from Madam Dou these days, and gradually developed some of the cultivation of a servant of aristocratic families.
Therefore, when Madam Jiao spoke harshly, she was calm.
"What a joke? I have something important to see the young lady. Who dare you to block my way?"
"When Madam Dou is not here, the East Garden is under my control. Although I am not as powerful as Madam Jiao, I will follow the general out of the mansion in the future. If Madam Jiao is not afraid of offending the general and the young lady, then go ahead!"
"You!"
Madam Jiao had dealt with Madam Cai before.
Naturally, she knew her ability.
What happened today? She has been so powerful after not seeing her for a few days, and she has taken control of Madam Jiao.
She is naturally not afraid of dealing with Madam Cai, but if she wants to offend the general and the young lady behind her, she is not so brave.
So, she can only suppress her anxiety and speak to Madam Cai in a good tone.
"Then please tell Madam Cai that I have something important to ask the young lady, and ask her to go to Yunjin Courtyard. Madam Wei has something to ask."
"Well, I'll go in and tell her."
After saying that, he asked several servants to block the door, like a stone sculpture, blocking Madam Jiao's view inside.
She was angry and dissatisfied, thinking that she would get back at her if she had the chance, and avenge today's shame.
Such a big commotion could reach the ears of Du Jingyi in Xitang Courtyard, and naturally it could also reach the ears of Liu, the eldest sister-in-law in Fuqiu Courtyard.
She was originally chatting with her eighth sister Xue Niang, and suddenly saw Madam Ou beside her walking in with a bad look on her face. Her face, which was originally smiling, became gloomy.
"What's wrong? Something happened?"
"Replying to the eldest young lady, Madam Jiao asked someone to invite the sixth young lady to Yunjin Courtyard, but I saw that there were so many people coming, I'm afraid they didn't have good intentions."
Ever since the last time that the eldest sister-in-law Liu and Shang Ji had a quarrel, she had never cared about the affairs of the East Courtyard.
She was focused on her son's studies in Fuqiu Courtyard.
She only called the eighth sister Xue Niang to come and see the progress of her needlework from time to time, but she never even left the courtyard once.
Now that someone came, the idea of protecting her children was immediately aroused.
Just as she was about to get up, she felt Shang Ji's words that day lingering in her ears.
"Does everyone have to rely on the eldest sister-in-law to protect them behind them?"
Yes, she has been protecting the East Courtyard all these years, but at most she can protect these family properties.
What happened to the children one by one?
Thinking of this, she relaxed her breath.
He said weakly to Mother Ou.
"Take some people to watch in the dark. If the young lady goes with them, don't worry about it. If the young lady doesn't go, and Madam Jiao wants to force her way in, then go and stop them. The face of Dongyuan cannot allow them to be so presumptuous."
"Yes."
After Mother Ou left, Shang Zhiping was a little hesitant to speak.
He had personally experienced the quarrel between his mother and Uncle Six, so he could better understand his mother's behavior at the moment.
For him, he couldn't accept Uncle Six, who had just returned, blaming his mother.
He was useless, that was his own problem, and he couldn't blame his mother.
But if he really had to tell Uncle Six about this, he didn't dare.
Therefore, his heart was even more conflicted.
Sister-in-law Liu understood what her son was thinking, so she gave him a reassuring look and continued to talk to Sister Shang Ba.
"Today, there are many things to do, so you stay in Fuqiu Courtyard."
"Sister-in-law, don't you want to go and see?"
Xue Niang was a little confused, and she felt very strange looking at Sister-in-law's calm face.
In the past, the eldest sister-in-law would always rush to the front in such matters, but why did she change her temper today?
It's a pity that the eldest sister-in-law is the most tight-lipped.
If she doesn't want to say something, even if she is beaten with swords and spears, she may not tell the truth.
The eldest sister-in-law was silent, and Xue Niang and Shang Zhiping followed suit.
Xitang Courtyard was lively at the moment.
After Cai Mama came to report what Jiao Mama said, Du Jingyi asked her to find more than ten strong and sturdy maids, and then took Yingtao and Lizhu and left the door of Xitang Courtyard.
Standing at the door, Jiao Mama waited for a long time but no one came out, and she was anxious.
Just when she was thinking about whether to lead people to rush in, she saw Du Jingyi coming out.
When he saw her, he naturally saw the people following her.
After a little surprise, he said in an anxious tone.
"Young Madam, please go to Yunjin Courtyard with me, something big has happened."
"Oh? Isn't the biggest thing in the mansion now the birthday of my father-in-law? Madam Wei has taken good care of the rest, isn't Madam Jiao exaggerating?"
This sentence blocked Madam Jiao's two mouths.
Admitting that something else happened means that Madam Wei is incompetent and can't manage the family well.
Not admitting that something else happened means that she is spreading rumors.
Really not easy to mess with.
So he could only suppress the arrogance in his heart and said to Du Jingyi.
