I was a housekeeper in ancient times

Chapter 161 Looking at each other

The people below were the best at observing people's words and expressions. Even though Yu Muyan didn't show much, they knew she was afraid.

Sister Cuihong knew that Nanny He had gone too far, and she quickly tried to make amends for her, "Madam, you know that my mother is a worrier."

As the daughter-in-law of Nanny He, Sister Cuihong was caught in the middle and was in a dilemma. She had long been aware of Lin Weiqiao's status in the eldest house, but Nanny He was still living in the past and thought she could compete with Lin Weiqiao. Little did she know that Lin Weiqiao was already a top-notch figure among the concubines and was highly valued by Yu Muyan.

As for Nanny He, she is old, confused and forgetful, nosy and gossipy. She wants to get involved in everything and easily offends people.

Although Lin Weiqiao didn't say anything about the birthday party last time and didn't pursue it later, she saw that Nanny He looked guilty and guessed that it was Nanny He who was behind it.

They are all from the first wife, there is no need to make things so unbearable.

Nanny He is eager to promote herself, but she also has to consider reality.

Lin Weiqiao said: "Madam, Madam He also meant well but did bad things, she didn't have any bad intentions."

Yu Muyan was already worried about Yu Muliu's affairs, and now this matter has happened, she is even more upset. "She is old and in poor health, so let her be less in charge in the future."

"Madam, since Nanny He is in the mansion, how can she not take care of things?"

"Then let her go home and recuperate. It's not good for her to worry about her health all the time in the mansion, and I don't want to tire her out any more."

The news soon reached Nanny He. After hearing the news, Nanny He still didn't believe it. She thought that Lin Weiqiao deliberately said bad things about her in front of Yu Muyan, and she wanted to go to Yu Muyan to seek justice.

Sister Cuihong and Manager He tried to stop and persuade her. Sister Cuihong said anxiously, "Mother! This is really what Madam meant. I was just listening. It has nothing to do with Mother Lin!"

Nanny He said firmly: "Impossible! I am an old man in front of the Madam after all, how could the Madam let me go home!"

"Madam, this is also for your mother's sake. Can't we just go home and enjoy our old age?"

"Why do you need to raise me? I came back because of you two good-for-nothings! We are of the same status, why should you listen to Mother Lin's orders? You are spineless."

No one could persuade Nanny He, so she went to Shuangxiyuan to make a scene.

At this time, Lin Weiqiao had just finished serving Yu Muyan dinner and had not yet left the house when she ran into Nanny He, who pointed at her and scolded her: "It must be you, the chatterbox, who slandered me in front of the lady! You promoted Madam Huang, so you are not a decent person! I am doing this for the good of the kitchen!"

Lin Weiqiao pretended to be wronged and said, "Yes, Madam, you are right. I let Huang Niangzi manage the kitchen out of selfish motives. I am not as selfless as you, Madam. I let my daughter-in-law go to the kitchen for the good of the Bofu."

At this time, Yu Muyan came out of the main room and said coldly, "Madam, why don't you calm down? How long are you going to make trouble? There is no peace and quiet."

Madam He quickly explained: "Madam, please listen to me, I am really doing this for the good of the kitchen. Madam Huang is not doing her job with care..."

"Well, does Nanny Yi mean that Aunt Wu, who used to be in charge of the kitchen, is the one who is attentive?"

"no……"

"Mrs. Huang, please tell me more about it."

"Uh……"

Madam He actually listed a series of problems that were not considered problems. None of them could be considered as problems. After all, Madam Huang was in charge of the entire kitchen, not that the kitchen belonged to Madam Huang alone.

If these small things are not done well, it can only be blamed on the people working in the big kitchen for not being careful enough.

Yu Muyan didn't have the patience to listen any more, and finally said: "Mammy, you are old and it is not suitable for you to stay in the mansion anymore. I can't bear to see you work so hard, so you should go home and enjoy your old age."

After saying this, she went back to her room, leaving no room for Nanny He to redeem herself.

At this point, Nanny He had done her best to save her face. She muttered, "I, I did something wrong to make Madam dislike me like this."

Then he changed the subject and pointed at Lin Weiqiao, saying viciously: "It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, how could my wife have separated from me..."

Lin Weiqiao was too lazy to pay attention to him, rolled her eyes, and turned back.

Now I feel relieved. Without the annoying Nanny He, I can save myself a lot of trouble.

The Zheng family is good at choosing the right time, and they chose this critical moment.

Old Mrs. Yu could also change her expression. She was still worried about Yu Muliu's condition. When she saw someone from the Zheng family coming, she immediately greeted them with a smile. You couldn't tell that there was something wrong at home.

Fortunately, Old Lady Yu was there, otherwise Yu Muyan would not have the energy to deal with it, and she also had no experience. How could a younger sister propose marriage to her older sister?

I have three sisters, and now there is also a brother named Qi. I don’t have the spare time to deal with these trivial matters.

The one who came from the Zheng family was Zheng Erlang’s eldest sister-in-law, Ouyang.

Ouyang was in her early thirties, with a plump figure, a clever mouth, and was particularly good at talking. As soon as she arrived, she started chatting and laughing with Old Madam Yu.

Ouyang said, "I'm so sorry. The weather has been getting cold recently and my mother-in-law caught a cold. She didn't come because she was afraid that she would pass it on to everyone else. So she asked a junior like me to come. I hope your family will forgive me."

Old Madam Yu waved her hands repeatedly, "No way, is your mother-in-law's health okay? People like us who are old need to take good care of ourselves."

The two sides exchanged greetings, and the scene was quite harmonious.

The matchmaker was in charge of the show, "I knew it, your two families are destined to be together, you talked so harmoniously the first time you met."

Yu Muyan held Yue Jie'er and listened on the side, acting as a mascot. Although she couldn't say much, she had to be present.

Ouyang first spoke to Yu Muyan, "I have long heard that the wife of Marquis Pingrong is outstanding in appearance. Seeing her today, it is indeed as her reputation says. I am happy just looking at her."

Yu Muyan said: "Sister, that's not the case. I think you are very blessed. Your face is rosy and radiant. You look like the Bodhisattva in the painting. I envy you so much."

Ouyang was very pleased and chatted for a while longer before finally turning her attention to Yu Mubao who was standing next to Old Madam Yu.

Yu Mubao attached great importance to this wedding appointment. Her clothes and jewelry were all newly made and bought, and even her makeup was done by a makeup artist from outside.

This time she behaved like a complete lady. She didn't interrupt, just smiled and nodded occasionally. She sat quietly and upright, looking like a lady from a noble family. It was hard to imagine that she was once a shrew who made a mess of her husband's family.

Ouyang said: "This must be your eldest daughter, right? She looks so lucky, more fortunate than me."

Yu Mubao smiled shyly, "You're welcome."

Old Madam Yu began to brag about herself, "My daughter is the eldest in the family. She is the most sensible and considerate to her parents. She came to the uncle's mansion because she saw that her younger sister was having a hard time, so she wanted to help out."
