The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

It was clear from Mother Jin's tone that she was here to cause trouble today, and she did not leave any face or courtesy to the people in Linhu Courtyard.

Xinyun's temper was relatively irritable among the crowd. Hearing Mother Jin talking like this, she couldn't help but say, "Mother Jin, the young lady is not in good health. Even the old lady should be more considerate and take care of her on weekdays."

During the half year that the young lady had been at the manor, Mrs. An and Mother Jin had been making trouble behind her back. Not only had they withheld the regular pay of everyone in Linhu Courtyard, they had also reduced most of their subsidies and items.

I guess all this money and subsidies eventually went into the pocket of her, the mistress of the house.

Previously, Xinyun really couldn't imagine that with the conditions and family background of Lady An, the mistress of the Duke of Song's Mansion, the most important thing she had was money.

Why would such a rich man deduct these small amounts of money from his servants? This amount of silver was just the price of a cup of tea for An, not even one-tenth of the price of a bracelet, but for these servants, it was their retirement money.

Previously, when the Second Madam was the housekeeper, the maids and servants had never deducted the monthly salary. In fact, during festivals, or when the Duke's Mansion's business was doing well, the maids and servants in the mansion would receive some extra money and gifts.

Now, Madam, the housekeeper, except for the upper house, the main house and the Qinfang Courtyard, the rest of the courtyards in the mansion have been deducted a lot more or less, especially Aunt Yin's courtyard.

Fortunately, Yang Qi's outside businesses can make money, and the expenses and operation of Linhu Courtyard can be supported by Yang Qi alone, even without the subsidy from the Duke's Mansion.

During this period, Yang Qi will make up for any part of An's deduction.

Yang Qi knew that when she was not at home, these maids and old women would be looked down upon and would have a hard time.

If we can't even guarantee their daily income, how can we comfort these people?

Hearing Xinyun's words, Mother Jin's face turned cold: "The people in Linhu Courtyard are really strict about rules. How dare you, a maid, talk to me like this?"

Following Aunt Zhu's instructions, Mother He was busy in the kitchen, but her attention never left the yard, and her hands moved more and more vigorously.

Nanny Zhu looked at Jin Mama with a changed look in her eyes: "The country has its own laws, and the family has its own rules. The mansion does have a rule that when maids and servants see their masters, they must bow and greet them, and they are not allowed to interrupt their masters at will.

I don't know which rule requires maids and servants to bow and greet your mother Jin when they see her."

If it was simply that An invited the young lady to go to the main house, why would Mother Jin bring so many maids and old women along?

These people are even willing to rob people.

Today, the lady specially sent someone to Linhu Courtyard to invite someone. I guess she was preparing a "Hongmen Banquet" and was planning to hold the young lady accountable.

But the young lady is not at home now, and she must not be discovered by Mrs. An that she secretly left the house.

Otherwise, I'm afraid the An family will make a big fuss about this and take the opportunity to punish severely.

Mother Jin must not be allowed into the yard. As for offending Mother Jin, just offend her.

Such a person is just a pawn, relying on An's influence to bully others.

Nanny Zhu usually keeps a low profile, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she immediately interrupted Mother Jin and set a trap for her.

It was obvious that Madam Jin was just relying on her position as the matron in charge of the upper room to scold Xinyun, but Madam Zhu insisted on changing the subject and exaggerating the matter.

This move really stumped Mother Jin.

For a moment, Mother Jin really didn't know how to respond to this matter.

Inside and outside the courtyard, both groups of An and Yang Qi fell into silence at the same time, but the air was filled with tension.

At this moment, the sound of a door opening broke the silence in the yard.

"Mother Jin, you showed off your power in Linhu Courtyard early in the morning. You are really amazing." After opening the door, Yang Qi put on a cloak, his face was pale, his eyes were dark, and he walked in front of Mother Jin.

Could it be that the third young lady was really unwell? She looked very healthy on the day she returned home.

"Miss Third's words are too much for me. I am only following Madam's orders and came to Linhu Courtyard to ask Miss Third to go to the upper room."

"Since mother has spoken, as a daughter I must go.

But, Mother Jin, are you feeling unwell? The main house is not close to the lakeside courtyard, but it is not necessary to make such a tiring journey.

Mother Jin, you are so old, yet you still need so many maids and old women to support you.

This scene is probably even bigger than my grandmother's."

Yang Qi heard some of the conversation between Madam Zhu and Madam Jin in the courtyard.

Since Nanny Zhu had already used the trick of breaking the rules to deal with Mother Jin, Yang Qi didn't mind and continued to attack her.

When Yang Qi said this, Mother Jin quickly bowed and explained, "Miss San is joking, you can't say this nonsense.

These maids and servants were specially ordered by the Madam to be brought with me, so that if the young lady encounters any emergency on the road, they can react in time and serve her. "

With the young lady's support, Xinyun felt more confident at the moment: "Are you guys cursing the young lady? What do you mean by a sudden situation?"

Nanny Zhu also nodded and said, "Yes, how come there are so many emergencies in the broad daylight in the mansion?"

Yang Qi glanced at Xin Yun with some annoyance, and said to Mother Jin, "Mother Jin, I have spoiled the maids and servants in my courtyard, and they speak a little bluntly.

Later, I will punish them severely and make sure they remember the lesson today.

As for taking precautions, my mother is so thoughtful that she even noticed these little things.

But, Mother Jin, this good habit cannot be enjoyed by only me.

Mother Jin, you have to suggest to mother that each courtyard should be handled in this way. I will also report this matter to grandmother and the second lady later.

You don't have to be polite. This is what I should do as the daughter of the Duke's Mansion. Being able to share my mother's worries is also what Xiaoqi wants. "

Yang Qi said this long string of words, blocking all the possible rhetoric that Jin's mother had prepared in her mind.

Hearing what the Third Miss said, Mother Jin's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

These people in Linhu Courtyard are too difficult to deal with. Nanny Zhu's words are watertight, and every word cannot leave any handle for others, but also leaves a trap for others; Xinyun seems to be outspoken, but in fact, she points out what is in her heart; as for the third lady, it is better not to say anything, she is a complete little fox.

Now, Mother Jin really didn't know what to say, for fear that if she said something wrong, she would be blamed and gossiped about.

Did I not check the almanac before going out today? Why is it that everyone is having trouble talking?
