Chapter 261 - The Maid Seemingly from a Good Family (1/2)

The old maid’s words seemed to make sense. Qin Wanru couldn’t interfere in the affairs in Madam Di’s yard. Nevertheless, since she knew about it, she could send someone to Shui Ruolan’s yard with them and tell Shui Ruolan about it. Since she had looked over the maids, Shui Ruolan could simply record it without much trouble.

Qin Wanru could even directly instruct the supervisor of the inner court to handle this matter, and then told Shui Ruolan about it. In this way, it could be considered handled by Shui Ruolan.

The Qin’s Mansion and Duke Yong’s Mansion were close to each other and doubly related by the marriage between Qin Yuru and Di Yan. It was reasonable for Qin Wanru to do that.

“Go there on your own. You should know about the route to my mother’s yard.” Qin Wanru did not answer the old maid and said after thinking for a while.

Before the masters of the Qin’s Mansion moved here, the servants of Duke Yong’s Mansion came here to help from time to time. So they were familiar with some important courtyards. Seeing this old maid come here with no one leading the way, Qin Wanru knew she knew about the route.

“Will we cause much trouble for Madam Shui?” Refused by Qin Wanru, the old maid became uneasy with fewer smiles on her face.

“My mother is in charge of this. It doesn’t matter.” Qin Wanru blinked and said leisurely.

“This… is about Madam Di… I’m afraid Madam Shui has a grudge against her!” The old maid looked at Qin Wanru and said.

She certainly hoped Qin Wanru could take this matter over and send someone to take them to Shui Ruolan’s yard where she could simply report it to Shui Ruolan without staying there for a long time.

Both Madam Di and Shui Ruolan were Qin Huaiyong’s wives, and they didn’t get along well with each other. As the servants of Duke Yong’s Mansion, it was reasonable for them to be afraid of being baffled by Shui Ruolan.

It seemed reasonable.

Qin Wanru suddenly showed a smile and looked towards the old maid below with a faint smile, “Where are the two maids? Bring them in and let me have a look!”

She neither said she wouldn’t take it over nor said she would. On hearing her words, the old maid was dumbfounded, but she nodded immediately and said, “Okay, I’ll immediately ask them in. I didn’t do that, because they have no manners and I am afraid they will startle you.”

Duke Yong’s Mansion was an aristocratic family. The old maid said the maids from Duke Yong’s Mansion had no manners in front of outsiders, so she didn’t bring them in to meet Qin Wanru. It was a farfetched reason indeed.

Although the old maid still looked unperturbed and turned around to ask them in without hesitation, she didn’t sound as reasonable as before.

Yujie stepped forward with the intention of following the old maid out to have a look, but stopped instantly at the sight that Qin Wanru shook her head silently.

Qingyue, who was standing at the door, didn’t care about it. She lifted the curtain and looked out.

The old maid said something to the two maids with their heads down. The two maids nodded and then walked over behind her. After entering the room, they respectfully bowed to Qin Wanru and then stood aside orderly, seemingly with nothing else in their mind.

Their etiquette and manners were quite good!

Their etiquette and manners were far beyond those of general maids. The old maid considered they had no manners. In this case, Duke Yong’s Mansion was quite strict with manners!

“Look up!” With a trace of sarcasm in her eyes, Qin Wanru looked towards the two maids who acted orderly, and said lightly.

“Raise your heads to show your faces to Second Miss. From now on Second Miss is your master!” the old maid said to the two maids with a smile.

The two maids answered and looked up together.

Seeing the face of one of the two maids, Qin Wanru smiled deeply with the coldness gradually flowing out of her eyes.

It turned out to be her! No wonder Duke Yong’s Mansion intended to send her here and make Qin Wanru take over this matter!

Duke Yong’s Mansion must think they could shift all the blame onto Qin Wanru.

The two maids were sixteen or seventeen years old. They looked very beautiful but not frivolous, even seemingly coming from a good family. Although they were looking up, they were well-behaved without looking around. The light green coats of Duke Yong’s Mansion made their skin look snowy and bright.

“They are the two maids given to Madam Di by Duke Yong’s Mansion. What can they do?” After looking them up and down, Qin Wanru said with a slight smile.

“Yes, they are given to Madam Di by our mansion. They are good at massage. Madam Di is sick and can’t move a lot. They can relax her muscles by massaging them so that Madam Di can get better. Our Old Madam specially found them and taught them some etiquette.”

The old maid introduced with a smile.

She obviously mentioned the Old Madam of Duke Yong’s Mansion with the intention of overwhelming Qin Wanru with the Old Madam’s senior status. Compared with Qin Wanru, the Old Madam was a real elder, so Qin Wanru certainly couldn’t reject the maids given by her.

“Good at massage? Can they give me a massage? I have a strong headache recently. I’m wondering if it was caused by the unaccustomed climate in the capital!” Qin Wanru reached out to rub her head and closed her eyes slightly.

“Okay, okay, I’ll ask one of them to serve you first!” The old maid promised and nodded to a maid, seemingly not baffled by Qin Wanru’s sudden request.
