Seeing that the two were indifferent, Lin Yushu frowned and her aura suddenly became fierce.

"Oh? You can't do that? Did grandma want you to be my master?!"

"The slaves dare not!"

The two said in unison.

The housekeeper, Mrs. Zhou, smiled and straightened her back. "Young lady, you may not know that all the courtyards in this mansion must be taken care of by the housekeeper. I was specially sent by the old lady to help you manage the courtyard."

The second-class maid Fuling followed up with a haughty look and said, "I am a second-class maid sent by the old lady to serve the young lady personally."

Lin Yushu seemed puzzled. "Isn't it the job of the housekeeper to take care of the maids and servants and clean up the courtyard?"

Mrs. Zhou was slightly stunned, "This... is true..."

"Isn't it the job of a second-class maid to take care of the maids?"

Fuling's expression was like, "Is it..."

Lin Yushu smiled with relief, "Since it's correct, you can go to work."

After saying that, regardless of the colorful expressions on the two people's faces, he turned and went into the house.

The furnishings in the main hall, the dormitory and the side room at the back are simple, but not shabby, and are much better than the courtyard that has been eroded by wind and rain.

Chuntao, together with Shilan and Cuizhu, started to clean up quickly. They were used to doing these chores, and in a short while, the house was clean and tidy.

After tidying up the house, Chuntao turned around and went out, wanting to ask the maid to boil some water for tea. However, as soon as she stepped out of the door, she was startled back by the scene in the yard.

"Miss, look, Fuling and Mrs. Zhou are still eating melon seeds in the corridor, while the others are so clumsy that they can't even sweep the snow clean. The yard is even messier than before!"

Lin Yushu understood that the old lady sent this group of people just to torture her.

In her previous life, when she entered the mansion, Chuntao was the only one by her side, and the servants sent by the old lady were incredibly stupid.

Lin Yushu was both angry and helpless, which made Fuling and Mrs. Zhou seem smart and thoughtful, so Lin Yushu had no choice but to rely on them.

The two of them quickly gained Lin Yushu's trust and slowly became half-masters in Bixiao Courtyard. Even Chuntao couldn't do anything to them.

Lin Yushu was exhausted just by the affairs in her own courtyard, leaving her with no energy to take care of other things, such as going out to make friends with other young ladies and gentlemen from aristocratic families.

This played into the hands of the old lady and the second lady.

Thinking back to her past life, whenever there was a banquet held by the wives and daughters of officials, there would inevitably be trouble in her Bixiao Courtyard. Fuling and Mrs. Zhou would pester her to make decisions, leaving her no time to spare.

Outside, the Second Madam and Lin Qingrou pretended to accidentally reveal to others that Lin Yushu had lived far away in a separate courtyard for many years, was unskilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and had no idea of ​​etiquette and rules, so she dared not appear in public.

This is how she got the reputation of a fool beauty in her previous life.

Haha, this action is just because he is afraid of Lin Yushu's peerless beauty. In order to prevent her from showing up in the capital, stealing Lin Qingrou's limelight, he can also control her marriage.

In this life, no one can interfere with her yard and her marriage!

Lin Yushu asked Cuizhu to call Nanny Zhou into the room for questioning. Nanny Zhou lowered her head and looked respectful, but she could not hide the contempt in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

Lin Yushu walked up to her and waved her handkerchief gently, and a faint scent of magnolia came.

"Madame Zhou, you have worked hard. Please take a seat."

Nanny Zhou was unsure of Lin Yushu's temper, so she sat down obediently. After that, no one spoke in the room.

Under Lin Yushu's long silent scrutiny, Zhou Mama's forehead was covered with sweat. She had heard that this young lady was not good at etiquette, poetry, and literature, and her personality was even more dull and wooden, but when she saw her today, she found that Lin Yushu was sometimes gentle and sometimes majestic, which was quite confusing.

While she was thinking, Nanny Zhou felt a little dizzy and her vision was blurry. She shook her head in a daze, and then she heard a very pleasant voice coming from her ears, like the sound of nature, which made her unable to help but obey.

"I think Madam Zhou is an elder in the mansion. What kind of work do her family members do in the mansion?"

"My husband is repairing the house in the mansion, my son is driving the carriage for the second young master, and my daughter-in-law is serving in the old lady's small kitchen."

"Repair the house? Can we ask the maid to come to our Bixiao Courtyard to clean it up?"

"Of course, I will ask him to bring some people here."

"The renovation of the courtyard will be entirely handed over to Madam Zhou. I hope you will do your best."

After saying this, Nanny Zhou bowed and walked out, looking a little dazed.

Lin Yushu picked up the tea brewed by Shi Lan, and a bitter smell of stale tea hit her face. Lin Yushu didn't care and drank it slowly.

In just two hours, Bixiao Courtyard was cleaned up neatly.

During this time, Lin Yushu invited Nanny Zhou into the room several times so that she could smell the fragrance of the soul-capturing powder carefully.

Chuntao was muttering happily while choosing clothes for the family dinner in the evening.

"That Madam Zhou has been bewitched by the young lady and won't listen to anyone. She has finally cleaned up our yard. I think Fuling is about to quarrel with her."

Lin Yushu smiled knowingly. With such an action, she was afraid that the old lady's trust in Nanny Zhou would drop sharply. If she wanted to pass on the news to Ci'an Temple again, no one would completely believe her.

-

In Ci'an Hospital.

"What? She has already cleaned up the yard? Didn't she say she should take at least a month to clean up? What's going on?"

Nanny Li stared at Nanny Zhou and Fuling who were kneeling on the ground and shouted sternly.

"It was all done by Madam Zhou. I wonder if she has gone insane to have her husband come to clean up the yard for the young lady..."

Fuling complained nonstop while Nanny Zhou knelt beside her without saying a word, but she couldn't stop sweating. She still didn't know why she did that.

Maybe, I really am going crazy...

"enough!"

The old lady's gentle words made the two people kneeling on the ground tremble in their hearts.

"You guys go back to Bixiao Court and serve first. If you make any mistakes again..."

"I will never make mistakes again!"

The two men walked out of the Ci'an Hospital trembling as if they had been pardoned.

"What do you think about this?"

Hearing the old lady's question, Nanny Li thought of her own uncontrollable behavior that time and spoke carefully.

"Madam, during the time I have been in contact with the young lady, she has been as dull and stupid as I have reported to you. She is very easy to fool, but occasionally she will do something unexpected that is hard to understand and quite weird..."

The old lady didn't take it seriously. "Humph, weird? It's just that the servants were careless and were deceived by her. Although she has been in the countryside for six years, her character is hard to change. Her mother Ye is very smart. Lin Yushu just inherited a little bit of her mother's cleverness."

A bunch of lazy and cunning slaves, most likely accepted benefits from that little bitch, and then dared to praise her to fool her, really thinking she was old and confused!

These words made Li Ma sweat profusely. She wanted to persuade her again, but she didn't dare to speak again.

"Have you dealt with Mrs. Wang's family?"

Nanny Li came back to her senses with a start, "Madam, we have dealt with them all, leaving no one alive."

Nanny Li thought to herself that Wang Po's family had not only messed up Li Erma's business, but also dared to confiscate Lin Yushu's things. If Lin Yushu exposed this in front of outsiders, this family would have no way out.

What an idiot! He deserves death for letting the General's Mansion lose face just for a few pieces of money!
