Aunt Qiao from the kitchen came to Lu Yundi to complain again. She was holding a plain handkerchief in her hand, her eyes were slightly red, and she seemed like she was about to cry at any time.
Seeing Madam Qiao like this, Lu Yundi couldn't help but feel a little sympathy in her heart. She gently patted Madam Qiao's hand and said in a gentle voice: "Madam, what's wrong with you? What happened in the kitchen?"
Aunt Qiao sniffed and said with a hint of tears in her voice, "Madam, you don't know that the work in the kitchen is getting heavier and heavier, but I am old and can't handle it anymore. Besides, those new maids don't know the rules and are always clumsy when doing things."
Lu Yundi frowned slightly. She knew that Madam Qiao was a conscientious person. She had been working in the kitchen for many years and it was indeed hard work. She sighed and said, "Madam, please sit down first. We will talk slowly."
Madam Qiao sat down as she was told. Lu Yundi personally poured her a cup of tea and handed it to her, saying softly, "Madam, tell me what difficulties you are facing in the kitchen. I will help you think of a solution."
Madam Qiao looked at Lu Yundi gratefully and said slowly, "Madam, since the master got married, the expenses of the mansion have increased a lot. The purchase of ingredients and the preparation of meals in the kitchen all need to be carefully prepared. But now there is a shortage of manpower, and the new maids are not skilled enough, resulting in more and more work in the kitchen."
Lu Yundi was silent for a moment after hearing this. She knew that this problem was not solved overnight. If she wanted to solve it, she had to start from the root. She looked at Madam Qiao and said, "Madam, how do you think we should solve this problem?"
Madam Qiao thought for a moment and said, "Madam, I think we can start from two aspects. First, we should increase the number of staff and strengthen the training. Although the new maids are not skilled enough, as long as we teach them carefully, I believe they will be able to get started soon."
Lu Yundi nodded in agreement: "Mammy is right, we will start to solve it immediately. I will ask the servants to recruit some skilled cooks outside the mansion, and at the same time strengthen the training of new maids. Mammy, what do you think?"
A glimmer of joy flashed across Aunt Qiao's eyes, and she quickly said, "Madam, you are so thoughtful. With your support, I believe the work in the kitchen will be able to proceed smoothly."
The two discussed some more details, and Nanny Qiao's mood obviously improved.
Lu Yundi looked worried, "Madam Qiao, do I need to tell you about this?"
Lu Yundi's face became more and more serious. She stared at Aunt Qiao coldly, with unquestionable majesty in her eyes. Aunt Qiao was startled and quickly lowered her head, her lips trembling slightly.
"Madam, I understand." Nanny Qiao's voice trembled slightly.
Lu Yundi snorted coldly, turned and walked to the window, looking at the lush garden outside the window, but her heart was surging. She turned around and looked at Aunt Qiao with complicated eyes, and her tone gradually softened.
"Madam Qiao, do you know why I entrusted this matter to you?"
Aunt Qiao raised her head cautiously, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, but she still answered respectfully: "Madam, it's because I am reliable and capable."
"Well, you are capable, I know that." Lu Yundi nodded gently, with a hint of admiration in her eyes, "But this matter concerns the reputation of this government. If you can't handle it well, I will never let you off easily."
Aunt Qiao's heart tightened, and she knelt down quickly, saying in a trembling voice: "Madam, I will do my best and will never let you down."
Lu Yundi looked at Aunt Qiao, her eyes gradually softened, and she said slowly: "Get up, this lady believes you."
Nanny Qiao looked at Lu Yundi gratefully and stood up carefully.
"Madam, how should this matter be handled?" asked Madam Qiao.
Lu Yundi pondered for a moment, and said with a firm look in her eyes: "This matter needs to be considered carefully, and we can't act hastily. You should first investigate the truth of the matter to see if there is any hidden truth. If someone deliberately instigates discord, I will make her pay the price."
Nanny Qiao nodded and had an idea in mind.
Aunt Qiao ran around and secretly gathered information. She found that this matter was not as simple as it seemed. It turned out that all this was done by a maid under the eldest lady. She deliberately spread rumors in the mansion in an attempt to sow discord between the lady and Aunt Qiao.
After learning the truth, Aunt Qiao immediately came back to report to Lu Yundi. After hearing this, Lu Yundi's eyes were as cold as ice. She said coldly: "This woman dared to touch the ground above my head. Who does she think she is?"
Aunt Qiao said cautiously, "Madam, what should we do with her now?"
Lu Yundi pondered for a moment, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes: "This matter, I will handle it personally. You go and prepare first, I will let her know the consequences of provoking the Zhenxing Marquis Mansion."
Nanny Qiao took the order and went to prepare immediately.
Lu Yundi held a banquet in her mansion and invited the eldest lady, other ladies and maids. At the banquet, she suddenly proposed to punish the woman who had caused discord.
Everyone was shocked, and the eldest lady looked unhappy, but she knew that she was indeed in the wrong this time and could not refute it.
Lu Yundi looked at the old woman coldly and said firmly, "You dare to sow discord in the Zhenxing Marquis's mansion. You are guilty of a crime that cannot be forgiven. This lady will teach you a lesson today and let you know what reverence means."
After saying this, she ordered the old woman to be beaten to death as a warning to others.
Everyone in the mansion was horrified, but they also understood that the dignity of the Zhenxing Marquis's Mansion could not be violated.
……
Lu Yundi hurried into the Yihong Pavilion, only to see the vermilion door slightly opened, and was greeted by a strong scent of flowers. She raised her head slightly and saw the madam Dou Ruhua standing at the door. She was wearing a gorgeous red robe, and the smile on her face was polite and cautious.
When Dou Ruhua saw Lu Yundi, she immediately put on a smile, walked forward and said, "Oh, ma'am, you're here. I've been waiting for you here for a long time." As she spoke, she gently brushed the dust off Lu Yundi's clothes, her eyes revealing concern.
Lu Yundi smiled slightly and said, "Mother Dou, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I came here in a hurry today and I have something to discuss with you."
Hearing this, Dou Ruhua immediately stopped smiling and became serious. She led Lu Yundi through the front hall and came to an elegant wing room, where the host and guest sat down. Dou Ruhua personally poured a cup of tea for Lu Yundi and placed it respectfully in front of her.
"Madam, please tell me, is there anything I can help you with?" Dou Ruhua asked softly, her eyes full of anticipation.
Lu Yundi brushed her sleeves gently, looked at Dou Ruhua, and said slowly: "Mother Dou, you also know that the affairs of Zhenxing Marquis's mansion have been very busy recently, and I am unable to handle them. I would like to ask you to select a few outstanding women from Yihong Pavilion and send them to the mansion to prepare for the banquet in the mansion."
