C56 Kowtow (2/2)

Old Lady Wang came in and said with a forced smile, ”Miss, that Cai Yi is Second Miss' little girl after all, don't you …” ”It's fine if you give her a little punishment, but after so long, the second lady's face won't look good …”

Gu Jinzhu's expression didn't change as she raised her brows slightly, ”She has offended her superiors, and her words have offended them. I was just punishing her on behalf of my second sister. She won't blame me.”

”Ugh …” ”Yes.” Lady Wang didn't dare to say anymore and withdrew herself.

While carefully cutting her hair, Yun Xiang said with some worry, ”Miss, since you've punished Caiyi today, Second Miss will definitely bear a grudge. How about we let her go back now, so that there won't be any more problems in the future?”

Gu Jinzhu said indifferently, ”Do you think she won't bear a grudge if you ask her to go back now? Since he had already offended the other party, he might as well go all the way through! If we don't beat down the arrogance of these unruly slaves, they will think that we are being casually bullied! ”

”Today, it's all thanks to Yang Liu. She's usually depressed and eats a lot. I didn't expect her to be so useful at such a critical time.”

Gu Jinzhu also nodded with a smile. The people assigned to her courtyard were either arranged by the Yao family or were unfavoured in the Gu household. This Yang Liu had a pure mind and was a good person.

She remembered the green figure who had quietly handed the mat to her and asked, ”What about Xiao Cui? What do you think? ”

Yun Xiang also laughed. ”I was just about to tell Miss about this. This servant sees that she's a rare, meticulous, and dependable person. She's usually quiet and does things meticulously, and she's much better than that magpie and Qiqiao.”

From the start, she had never intended to put it to good use. However, this Xiao Cui had an ordinary appearance, and normally did not speak a word, but it was hard to tell what kind of character she had.

She pondered for a moment, then asked, ”Have you found out where she came from?”

”According to what the old woman guarding the door said, Xiao Cui was not the son of a family, she was bought from outside. She first served in my wife's room, but my wife felt that she was not good-looking, so she reduced her to a third-class girl and sent her directly to the kitchen.”

Gu Jinzhu nodded. If she bought it from outside the clan, she could relax a little. Without the complicated background inside the clan, she would have no scruples when using it.

Now that he thought about it, it didn't seem like there was anything wrong with it. The most important thing was still this girl's character. If she really was a good person, she might as well use it to promote her.

”Just watch for a while longer. If she really needs it, bring her up here.”

Yun Xiang nodded, then said, ”That's right, young lady. Xiao Cui works efficiently in the kitchen and doesn't have many people to talk to. If she isn't Madam's person, then we can let her take care of the stove. She's much better than that old missus Wang.”

Gu Jinzhu remembered what had happened with the firewood and said indifferently, ”I'll leave it to you.”
