Chen Rou Qiu was surprised for a moment and looked at the obviously unhappy Old Furen on the high seat before reluctantly saying, "Even so, Little Five falling into the pond is really too careless. How do the few maids around take care of others? Eldest Brother and Eldest Sao are not around, so the servants bully the Master? From ZhengSheng's point of view, it is better to change these few maids. "
Ren Wan Yun laughed out loud. Chen Rou Qiu looked at her with some anger and Ren Wan Yun's lips hung a trace of a sneer.
This DiMei of hers looked like she was educated and reasonable but her heart was very shrewd. Most likely she wanted to change the people around Shen Miao. Now Shen Yue had reached the age where she should pay attention to others. In the capital, no matter how far Shen Miao's stupid and cowardly reputation was, in terms of status, Shen Yue was not as good as Shen Miao. After all, Shen Xin still held the military power in his hands.
The Third household was finally ready to make a move.
Shen Miao lowered her head, "Why does Third Shen want to change Gu Yu and the rest? They are the people that Father and Mother left for Fifth Lady. Now there are many changes in the Western courtyard and Fifth Lady does not know any of the second ranked maids. If Gu Yu and the rest are changed, Fifth Lady would not know who to talk to in the Western courtyard."
Ren Wan Yun's smile stopped abruptly.
In the Western courtyard, Shen Xin and wife were not in the capital all year round and the maids and manservants in the courtyard were almost all changed. There were Old Furen's people, Second household's people and Third household's people. But because it was the Second household that managed the household, naturally there were more people in the Second household. It was alright if these words were not said but if it were to be passed to the ears of outsiders, that the daughter of the First household did not know a single servant in her own courtyard, what kind of good intentions would the Second and Third household have? There was no reason for a Sister-in-law to intervene in the Eldest Brother's courtyard.
Her mind turned very quickly and she smiled as she stared at Chen Rou Qiu and said to Shen Miao, "Your Third Shen is joking with you. Gu Yu and the rest of the maids are just careless. Our Shen family is benevolent and would not do such inhumane things. Little Five need not be anxious."
At the end, her words still choked Chen Rou Qiu.
Shen Yuan Bo looked at his mother and then at Chen Rou Qiu before yawning. Old Shen Furen was somewhat impatient with the battle of words between her Second and Third Daughter-in-law and seeing this scene, she said, "Done, it is just some trivial matters. Number Two's family, bring Seventh Son over and disperse. There are so many people, it's making me dizzy. "
Ren Wan Yun quickly carried Shen Yuan Bo to Old Shen Furen's couch and said, "Mother, then this daughter-in-law will leave first. Seventh Brother, be obedient when you play with Old Madame. "
Chen Rou Qiu glanced at Shen Yuan Bo before placing her hands on her lower abdomen and slowly walked out of Rong Jing Tang. The Second household had a son and was highly regarded by Old Shen Furen. No matter how capable she was … Shen Yue was after all a daughter. It would be good if there was a son. In the Shen residence, sooner or later the things of the First household would have to be fought over. If there was a son, at least they would be able to share equally, unlike now where the Second household had benefited for no reason. Moreover … The First household still had a Di son. Even though he was at the border with Shen Xin, who knew if he would come back to take a share of the loot.
Thinking about it, Chen Rou Qiu raised her head and her gaze landed on the few people who were heading towards the Western courtyard.
The young female was wearing a crimson embroidered long robe. She had always loved to wear bright colours and in addition to not having parents by her side, she did not know how to dress up and would always reveal a rustic feeling.
But now, the crimson colour made her complexion look even fairer. It was still the same appearance but it seemed to be more solemn. Even somewhat … Dignified?
Gu Yu softly said, "Young Lady's body is not well, why the rush to Guang Wen Guan? Since the illness has been explained, there is no need to rush to Guang Wen Guan. Or … "
"No." Shen Miao interrupted her words, "Prepare the carriage immediately."
It was obvious that there were no harsh words, but one did not know why Gu Yu shuddered and did not dare to ask anymore.
