C162 (1/2)

Ye Jinsu smiled. The attitude others had towards her was either to lower her head and not say anything, or to be filled with fear and trepidation. Everyone knew that only a few newbies here were innocent. In the past, when Ye Jinsu had fallen, who hadn't added insult to injury?

Because of how quickly they had exchanged words all those years ago, these people were now panicking. Even some of the newbies couldn't help but feel a little afraid of Ye Jinsu when they saw this battle.

Only Ontario was neither humble nor haughty, as if she had never heard of Ye Jinsu's style.

However, she didn't need to be afraid of anything. In Ye Jinsu's memories, there was basically no one like this. She was probably the quiet type. When some servants acted arrogantly, Ontario's mothers didn't go overboard.

Ye Jinxiu understood her slightly. That was before she was promoted to be a steward, but now that she had been promoted to one, she knew that things weren't as simple as they seemed.

Ye Jinsu smiled faintly and said, ”Father thought that he would tire his eyes from settling the bill in the next few days, so he came over to tell you guys to stew some medlar soup for clear liver and clear sight.”

His reason was serious and quite filial. The mother of Ontario nodded, looked back at the ingredients, and said: ”Now the stew will be delivered to Master at night, and this servant will tell the people to cook it.”

After saying that, the Ontario mother stood up and called for a little girl in red beside her. She was steaming the food for the old lady, unable to separate her hands. The little girl dressed in red looked about the same size as Su Ming and had a mischievous look on her face as she hopped over to work.

The Ontario lady obviously liked the little girl better. She had a smile on her face as she told her to be careful and not mess up the stew.

The age of the nutmeg branch, even if there were two small spots on its face, it could not hide the fact. Many of the men looked at her.

Xiao Hong followed Ye Jinsu's line of sight and explained, ”That little girl seems to be the daughter of an Ontario mother, but she doesn't have a husband. She said she's dead. But everyone said that Ontario was not married at all, and that this daughter was unmarried and pregnant. ”

Ye Jinsu raised her eyes in surprise.

The Ontario mother looked very young and didn't expect to have a daughter this old. She estimated that she would be born in her mid-fifties. Although she was about to get married, she would give birth to a child if she was just 15-16 years old. After all, the girl was too young and the child she gave birth to was weak.

As for whether it was her husband's death or her pregnancy, she had no idea.

However, she noticed something else. It was the butler who came over to retrieve the items. He was staring at the little girl with naked eyes. The moment that little girl An saw the housekeeper, it was as if she had seen a god of pests. Her eyes reddened from fright, and her trembling hands dropped her saber as she ran outside.

Ontario also immediately stood up, with a tense and serious expression on her face as she stared at the butler, unable to take her eyes off him.

Ye Jinsu narrowed her eyes and calmly turned around to leave, ”The butler stayed in the mansion for more than ten years, is he already in his forties?”

Xiao Hong nodded. He was still unmarried even at such an age. Everyone felt that he was going to end up lonely. However, he seemed to have taken a fancy to Ontario's daughter recently. Xiao Hong pouted and said, ”A toad really wants to eat swan meat.”

Not only that, but he had openly asked Ontario to marry him and had ended up being chased away. It was said that that was the first time Ontario had gotten so angry.

After that, the butler didn't mention it again, but it was obvious that his heart was still with little girl An. Every time he took the opportunity to come to the kitchen, he would either lecherously stare at little girl An or take advantage of her.

”I heard that he even had the intention of letting the lord matchmaking for her.” Little Red said disdainfully. This little girl An was quite pitiful. Being looked up to by such an old man meant that she had lost all of her good years.

However, he had only heard of it before, he didn't know if it was true or false.
