Chapter 132 Maid
Chapter 132 Maid
Second Miss, this is Nanrong Mansion, not our Shen family. How can you barge in like this?
Xiangyun was so anxious that she was about to cry. She knew that her second young lady was always bold and daring and would dare to do anything, but the inner house of Nanrong Mansion was so deep that it was unfathomable and there was no end in sight. If she took the wrong path, she would not be able to get out.
They would be in trouble if they were mistaken for thieves.
Alas, she knew that her second young lady had suddenly changed her mind and came to Nanrong's house with the eldest young lady. She must have had bad intentions. If there was no benefit at all, with her second young lady's character of not wanting to suffer any loss, she would not come even if the sky fell.
"You two, stop!" Suddenly, a steward from Nanrong Mansion stopped Shen Qingyu and his servant.
Xiangyun lowered her head and huddled her whole body behind Shen Qingyu.
Shen Qingyu smiled helplessly, pulled Xiangyun and slowly turned around. Just as he was about to prepare some words, he didn't expect that the manager would scold him without even asking any questions.
"All the servants in the mansion have been transferred over to help out from the Madam's place. We are shorthanded now, and you two still dare to make trouble here. This is simply outrageous!"
Xiangyun was stunned for a moment, confused, "We are..."
"Shut up, newcomer. Why are you so unruly? What kind of family do you think Nanrong Mansion is?"
The middle-aged manager, who was about thirty or forty years old, was fat and had a round face. When he scolded the two of them, the few whiskers on his chin twitched.
He even didn't allow them to explain. Shen Qingyu wanted to laugh when she saw this. It seemed that this steward thought she and Xiangyun were new maids in Nanrong Mansion.
Second Miss, how can you still be in the mood to laugh? The dress made of fine Yanshu brocade that you had prepared was changed into this plain outfit. Now, the dignified Second Miss of the Shen family has been mistaken for a new maid from Nanrong Mansion.
Xiangyun had a sad face and looked at Shen Qingyu with resentment.
Shen Qingyu also took a look at the clothes she was wearing today. Although they were a bit plain, they were made of precious brocade and had embroidery on the lapels. They were made by a famous artist and ordinary people could not afford them at all.
Is it because my face is too ordinary?
Shen Qingyu gave Xiangyun a look, signaling her not to say anything. Then she pulled up her clothes to cover the embroidery on them. At first glance, she looked just like a maid in Nanrong Mansion.
The Nanrong Mansion was wealthy, and the top maids in the mansion wore silk and satin. Perhaps the steward thought that Shen Qingyu and his servant were sent in by some old man from the mansion, so he did not suspect anything.
"What are you still standing there for? Come with me!"
The steward urged, but thought in his heart, these girls rely on the fact that their parents were maids who served the old master or the great-old lady in the mansion, and they are all spoiled, just like the young ladies in the mansion. Humph, no matter how well they are dressed, they are just servants, how can they fly away?
"Yes." Shen Qingyu responded respectfully, pulling Xiangyun, who was frowning, and quickly followed the steward.
Because the two people followed the steward, Shen Qingyu and his servant left Madam Nan Rong's courtyard, so no one would doubt Shen Qingyu's identity.
After all, not many people have seen the famous second lady of the Shen family. Shen Ruyan is probably still waiting for Xiao Jinyue and Shen Xitong, and has not come yet, so no one can recognize Shen Qingyu.
Walking through the inner residence of Nanrong Mansion, Shen Qingyu originally wanted to sneak away with Xiangyun, but the steward was watching them very closely and had to look back every two steps, making it impossible for them to leave even if they wanted to.
Xiangyun was on edge, following her second young lady very nervously. She was so scared that she even walked unsteadily. This was the Nanrong Mansion. What if she was discovered? Even if the second young lady was the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, what if the Nanrong family did not give face to the Shen family? This was the Nanrong Mansion, a well-known place in Jinling Prefecture, which was not comparable to the Xiao family at all.
Shen Qingyu was easy-going and would talk to the steward from time to time. Her flattery made the steward very satisfied with her. He even said that if he had the chance in the future, he would definitely say a few good words about her in front of the old master.
"Manager Xu, where is this?"
Compared with Madam Nan Rong's rich and luxurious courtyard, the place where Manager Xu brought Shen Qingyu seemed much more quiet and peaceful. There were no servants, maids, or even a bird.
"Don't talk," Manager Xu glared at them and whispered, "The Third Young Master hates these things the most."
In the entire mansion, the third young master is the most difficult to serve. The maids around him have to be replaced every few days. The shortest one is driven out as soon as it is sent there.
The young master was annoyed, but the old man loved his grandson dearly and said that the third young master must have someone to serve him. As a result, he was in the most difficult situation because he could not offend either side, but he had to offend both sides.
"You two, when you go in later, you are not allowed to look up, let alone look at the Third Young Master. Do you understand?"
Manager Xu gave detailed instructions, and then saw a servant coming over, so he said, "Mingliu, these two are new. As you know, the Madam is holding a banquet today, and most of the people in the mansion have been transferred there. If I hadn't said it was the old master's intention, I'm afraid we wouldn't even be able to find these two."
Shen Qingyu laughed when she heard this. It turned out that Manager Xu was so confused. Without even asking them, he identified them at a glance as the maids that Madam Nanrong was going to send to the room of the third son of Nanrong.
It's really fun.
"newcomer?"
The servant named Ming Liu frowned. The maid who was sent here yesterday was already the best trained in the mansion, but when she saw the young master, she lost her manners and forgot her duty.
"Mingliu, please help Brother Xu this time. Yesterday, the old master found out that there was no one to serve the young master, and he almost had me beaten to death with sticks." Manager Xu pleaded.
Ming Liu looked at Manager Xu with sympathy. Although the maids in the mansion were all looking forward to serving in the young master's courtyard, the young master had a cold temperament and hated having people around him the most. Every time the old master sent a maid over, the young master would ask her to drive the person out directly and did not give the old master any face at all. Not to mention the old master, even the master and his wife would be extremely careful when seeing the young master and would not dare to anger him, for fear that once the young master left the mansion and they would not see him for ten days or half a month, the old master would take it out on them.
"Mingliu, I'll leave this man to you. The old man is still waiting for my reply, so I'll leave first."
Manager Xu didn't even wait for Ming Liu's consent, and immediately turned around and fled from the courtyard of the third young master of Nanrong.
