Chapter 1178: Ins and Outs 1
The butler nodded, with a worried expression on his face. The butler has been in the Chu Mansion for decades. He is a child of the family, and his parents are servants of the Chu Manor. He was also the head of the Chu Manor since he was a child. The big one, even though he is just a housekeeper, he still regards the Chu Mansion as his home after all.
The Chu Mansion is considered an aristocratic family in the capital, and there have never been any major incidents in these years.
What happened to the second lady today was really the first time in decades. Let alone Chu Xiang, even he, a housekeeper, had mixed feelings in his heart.
It can be imagined that such a fair and strict person as Chu Xiang, the daughter of the mansion could do such a thing. Even before the Gu family came, no one in the Gu manor knew that this happened.
The housekeeper sighed, and stepped up a few steps to inform the eldest lady.
The eldest lady is looking at the account book in her yard at the moment. It is May day, and the weather will gradually heat up in June. From the masters to the servants of the Chu family, it is enough There are hundreds of people, and they are almost about to start changing their summer clothes. The things that should be delivered in each courtyard, and the things that the servants should receive, all need to be arranged by the eldest lady.
Therefore, the eldest lady has been very busy these two days, and she is completely unaware of what happened in the front yard at the moment.
When the housekeeper came to her yard, the eldest lady was slightly surprised, wondering what the housekeeper was doing here.
Holding a pen in his hand, he continued to write, and asked kindly, "Sanbo, what are you doing here?"
The housekeeper’s surname is Yu, but because the housekeeper’s family are all descendants of Chu’s family, the housekeeper’s generation has three children, and the housekeeper is the third. When he was young in Chu’s house, he was always called the third child. . When it came to the generation of Chu Xiang and Mrs. Chu, the housekeepers and their generation directly called Sanbo for convenience and respect.
When the butler heard Mrs. Chu calling him that, he felt that many things were the same as his family members.
So the housekeeper is completely worried about the Chu family and the eldest lady right now.
The housekeeper saluted first.
Then he said with a worried face: "Ma'am, it's the Second Miss's business, Master Xiang asked you to go there."
The eldest lady was still writing, but when she heard that it was about the second young lady, she stopped immediately, and the ink on the brush dropped a drop onto the white rice paper, but at this moment the eldest lady couldn't care less That's it, put the brush aside, and then take a serious look at the housekeeper: "What happened to Miss Second?"
Although it is not clear what happened at this moment, the eldest lady can judge that it is probably not a good thing just by looking at the housekeeper's expression and tone of voice, not to mention that the prime minister who has never disturbed her without major events also let her go .
The eldest lady could still sit there, so she got up straight away, gave a few instructions to the maid beside her, and then hurried to the front yard.
The butler followed.
Take advantage of this time.
The butler told her the general situation: "Ma'am, it's about the Second Miss. The Gu family came to the Chu Mansion today to propose a marriage, saying that the Second Miss already has a child of the Gu family's young master, and asked the Prime Minister to marry the Second Miss to him. Just now, Xiangye has already declined. Let the old slave come to you now."
