Old Mrs. Kang immediately suppressed her anger and kept telling herself in her heart that she must not get angry anymore. Now the only person around her was Nanny Xu, and she had to use her.

But she really couldn't stand the smell of urine on her body.

"Alright! Get up quickly, you've been wronged."

Old Kang said lightly.

Nanny Xu quickly stood up and wiped away her tears of grievance, but she still felt uncomfortable in her heart.

The old lady didn't even let those people do the rough work, which shows that she knew she couldn't control them anymore.

"Go wash up and ask them to bring another portion of food over."

Old Kang only felt the smell of urine around her, which made her extremely uncomfortable, so she couldn't let Xu Ma stay and had to let her go. But when she saw Xu Ma walking out, she hurriedly said.

"Oh, by the way, go see the old marquis and tell him that I'm not used to living in Rong'an Hall and want to move to the main courtyard."

"Yes! But madam, I'm afraid those people outside will stop me." Nanny Xu had been stopped once, so she was naturally a little afraid.

"What are you afraid of? The old marquis only punished me with house arrest, not you. If they stop you, just rush out and ask the old marquis to come and deal with them all."

Old Kang said coldly.

She had followed the old marquis for half her life and knew his character best. He would not really ignore her, so she could go to him without any worries.

Aunt Xu could only agree. After leaving the small Buddhist hall, she told Auntie Kang about her request for another meal. However, Auntie Rong ignored her and went to the small Buddhist hall by herself. She said coldly to Auntie Kang:

"Madam, our family is having a hard time making a living right now. You can't waste food every time you go out. Besides, food is rationed. If you waste this meal, you can wait until the next one."

Old Mrs. Kang was so angry that she fell back, but her stomach was growling with hunger and she had no energy to argue with Aunt Rong.

It took several days to copy the scripture. To old Kang, this was tantamount to torture. Finally, that vicious woman Aunt Rong found her conscience and decided to let him out of the small Buddhist temple.

She went to find Aunt Xu as soon as possible. At that time, Aunt Xu was washing clothes with a large basin of ice-cold water.

Suddenly he realized that Old Kang was coming to see him, and he was so excited that tears streamed down his face.

Could it be that the old lady had gained freedom and came to save her? But her dream was soon shattered because Old Kang asked:

"Madam Xu, didn't I ask you to go find the old marquis? Why haven't you gone yet?"

Nanny Xu’s excited expression came to an abrupt end!

She was doing the rough work of washing clothes, and her hands were red and swollen from the cold. When the old lady saw the second half of the sentence, she didn't ask about it, but instead asked about the task she had assigned.

Doesn't she know how to think about herself? So many days have passed, and the old marquis hasn't sent anyone to inform her to move to the main courtyard. Does he just want to ignore her?

"Madam, I went to the main courtyard to find the old marquis. I not only told him that you wanted to live in the main courtyard, but also told him about the servants in our courtyard who bullied the master. However, the old marquis just said that he knew about it and sent me back."

"Later, I went there twice, but I couldn't see the old marquis."

When Aunt Xu thought about it, she felt extremely aggrieved. Why did no one believe her even though she told the truth?

The old marquis simply didn't believe that there were any unruly servants bullying their masters in Rong'an Hall, so it was useless for him to say anything.

"That's impossible! You must have not explained it clearly. I want to meet the old marquis in person."

After Old Mrs. Kang finished speaking, she turned around and walked outside, but was stopped by Aunt Rong.

Aunt Rong raised her eyes and said loudly with a smile:

"I never thought that the old lady would be interested in such rough work as washing clothes. But you are old, so you should move more, otherwise you will be ruined by sitting and copying scriptures all the time."

"In that case, the old lady should learn more here! Aunt Xu, please ask the old lady to sit down, and you will teach her how to wash."

After Aunt Rong finished speaking, both the master and servant of the old Kang family were obviously stunned.

What do you mean?

The old lady wants to learn how to wash clothes?

How can this be?

After being stunned, Old Kang's face turned ugly and she pointed at Aunt Rong and angrily scolded, "What nonsense! I am the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion, why do I need to learn such lowly things."

"Okay, okay, the old lady said she can't wait any longer. Please help her sit down first."

Aunt Rong automatically interpreted the meaning of old Kang's words, which made old Kang jump up and down, and Aunt Xu was even more stunned.

Isn't this person lying with his eyes open?

She did this, wasn't she afraid that Old Kang would cause trouble for her later? After all, Old Kang was the Marquis's wife, and she had given birth to two sons for the Marquis's mansion...

But when she thought of this, Aunt Xu's expression suddenly changed strangely.

Judging from the old marquis's behavior, he obviously doesn't care about the old lady anymore. He obviously thinks that the old lady is causing trouble, and the two sons born to the old lady are basically useless.

The eldest master was singled out by the emperor as someone he disliked, so he lost his official position and is now addicted to women. The second master is now insane and no one knows when he will recover.

As for the grandchildren, both of them are dead. Su Yunrou is going to be the concubine of King Rui. Su Lihan has a facial injury and I don’t know how she is recovering now. As for Su Wen… Haha! With the situation she had a few days ago, it is impossible for her to take care of the old lady.

As for the old lady's two daughters-in-law, Liu no longer has the support of the Earl's Mansion, and Xiaokang is even more of a waste. Ever since the old prince came, she has been hanging around the third house to get benefits.

Therefore, Old Kang no longer has any support in the Marquis' Mansion. It is possible that this group of mean servants bullied Old Kang with the old Marquis' tacit approval.

In that case, why should I live a hard life with old Mrs. Kang? If I join Aunt Rong, maybe my life will be much better in the future.

Thinking of this, Aunt Xu had undergone a great change. She immediately made way and said with some approval, "Sister Rong is right. The old lady wants to learn some rough work, and we, as servants, cannot stop her. So, old lady, please come over here and sit down. I will teach you how to wash clothes."

Old Kang looked at Aunt Xu in shock, and all she could think about was: Aunt Xu, is she crazy? Does she know what she is talking about?

"Madame Xu, are you crazy? How dare you listen to their nonsense? Believe it or not, I will have someone smash your mouth to pieces right now!"

"Madam, I am not crazy. You just said that. You are the master. We servants cannot stop you from doing anything you want. So please come and sit down."

Nanny Xu said decisively.
