I was a housekeeper in ancient times

There was no reason for Yu Muyan to refuse, so she asked Lin Weiqiao to accompany her and said, "Mom, please watch out for Liu Jie'er. It's not like home outside, so you have to be careful and don't offend anyone."

Yu Muliu said angrily: "I'm not a child, I'm very sensible, right, mom?"

Lin Weiqiao agreed that there are many people who are truly ignorant.

Because the weather is bad today, it's gloomy and looks like it's going to rain at any time, so I'll wait until the weather is better before going out.

After leaving Shuangxiyuan, there were several maids waiting to give Lin Weiqiao something to do.

Lin Weiqiao knew without even listening that eight out of ten of these things were about Yu Mubao. It was simply saying that Yu Mubao had too high demands, bossed his subordinates around, didn't take everyone else seriously, was very overbearing, and tortured people.

She thought that ever since Yu Mubao came, she had been in trouble all the time and had no peace at all.

Calculating the time, it's almost time to take action.

She ordered Aunt Xue, "Go find some maids and old women who are mean and gossipy."

Aunt Xue asked in confusion: "What is mom going to do?"

"Of course it is very useful."

“Where is it going to be used?”

She smiled mysteriously and kept the question in suspense.

So on a sultry afternoon, Yu Mubao relaxed in the garden, followed by two maids holding small fans with embroidered butterfly patterns, fanning her.

But in this weather, fans alone are not enough to keep you cool. Yu Mubao is impatient. Seeing the two maids fanning themselves weakly, he snatched the fan and scolded them, "I'm short of food for you. You don't even have any strength in your hands. What's the use of you! This damn weather is so hot and dry, and there's no cool time! Can't you ask your wife to give me some basins of ice?"

Madam Li, who was serving, said in embarrassment, "That doesn't make sense. The house is not as good as before. Even in the Madam's courtyard, ice cubes are not used."

"That's because your wife's courtyard is cool, not like the shabby courtyard I live in... Oh, go get your wife some Yunxiang silk and Guangqing silk. I want to make some close-fitting clothes. What I'm wearing isn't breathable enough."

"I'll go to the Madam's Courtyard and ask."

As they were talking, the discussion of the two maids in front caught Yu Mubao's attention. She was drinking tea and listening to the gossip in the mansion.

She knew that Aunt Lian and Wan Jie'er fell into the water, and she also heard that Yu Muyan was almost wrongly accused. However, she did not sympathize with her sister, but instead felt a little gloating.

They were born from the same mother, so why could Yu Muyan become a countess? Even if she became a widow, she could still live a rich life, respected and praised by everyone.

Looking at herself again, she couldn't help but laugh a few times.

Finally, the two old women suddenly changed the subject and started talking about her.

"Tsk, that Miss Bao is really shameless. It's ok for her to eat and drink for free at her sister's house, but she even robbed her niece's yard. She is really shameless. She wants to get married with her condition? Who is so blind as to dare to marry such a living ancestor?"

"That's right. She's putting on airs even in the Earl's house. It's only because Madam is good-tempered that she tolerates her. If it were someone else, they would have kicked her out long ago!"

"If you ask me, I am just thick-skinned. I didn't listen to the gossips going around the house and outside the house. I didn't think much of it and enjoyed myself peacefully."

"Oh, I really don't know how the Yu family raised such a god. He is so naughty and doesn't even use his brain to think. He really treats the Bo Mansion as his own home!"

Hearing these words, Yu Mubao was stunned at first, and was a little bit unconvinced that they were talking about him. After he came to his senses, he was ashamed and angry, and immediately rushed up to hit them, scaring the two old women so much that they ran away.

Fortunately, Li Niang and her friends stopped her and advised her not to get angry, saying, "It's just some gossip, why should you get angry, Miss Bao? I'll give them a good lesson later."

Yu Mubao was so angry that his teeth itched. "Go and find them for me now, or I will pull out their tongues!"

"That person looks like someone from the second house. We can't move."

"The people from the second house can't be touched? Your wife is so cowardly that she doesn't even dare to touch the maids from the second house?"

In fact, Madam Li just didn't want to make a fuss and wanted to just get away with it. After all, there were quite a few discussions like this, not only the two old women were talking about it, but other people were also discussing it in private.

The people below all had a lot of complaints about Yu Mubao, but Yu Mubao didn't think there was anything wrong with himself.

Seeing them standing there in a daze, Yu Mubao stamped his feet in frustration and shouted, "Why don't you go now? Do you want me to do it myself?"

Madam Li winked at a maid and coaxed her, "Don't be anxious, Miss Bao. It's not worth getting yourself upset. It's hot outside, so go inside."

After returning to the yard and waiting for Yu Mubao to rest, Madam Li and the others left.

Yu Mubao, lying on the bed, was still furious. Thinking of what the two old women said, she was so angry that her teeth were itching. She wanted to tear the two people's mouths apart. Who was she? How could these lowly people make up stories about her?

She took a deep breath, closed her eyes and thought, thinking that when she found these two women, she would torture them severely to vent her hatred!

I had finally calmed down a little when I heard two girls whispering by the window, as if they were mocking someone.

"Do you think you'll be alright if you catch those two women? There are so many people in the mansion, she can stop one, but can she stop two or three? It's really ridiculous, she's old, but she's still so naive and ridiculous, isn't she afraid that people will laugh at her if it gets out?"

"That's right. If she can shut up the people in the mansion, she can shut up the people outside the palace too. She doesn't know her own reputation, but she is still so reckless. Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder she can't get married. If she is like this, even the Queen's sister will have a hard time getting married. If you ask me, in a few years, even if the third lady gets married, she may not be able to get married."

The two of them were laughing as they spoke, full of sarcasm.

The words of the two old women were enough to make Yu Mubao uncomfortable, and this conversation hit her sore spot.

She was completely defeated, and rushed to the window like a madman, picked up a white porcelain vase with peony flowers, and smashed it out of the window. Not satisfied with smashing one, she smashed several bottles and jars in the room, and then cursed: "Which gossipy woman dares to insult me ​​behind my back!"

There was no one by the window, and even the yard was empty.

She suddenly realized that she was being played as a monkey. She wanted to ask Yu Muyan for an explanation, but then she thought that these maids and old women dared to talk about her like that, which must be Yu Muyan's tacit approval.

She said viciously: "How dare you, Yu Muyan, treat me like this, even though I thought you were a sister from the same family!"

From childhood to adulthood, she had never suffered such injustice. It was inevitable that she couldn't bear so much malice at once and shed tears!

She was about to go home to complain to Old Mrs. Yu, but on her way out she ran into Mrs. Wu who was passing by.
