Just because she looks weak doesn't mean she's easy to bully.
Chapter 13 Preparing to Return to Shen Mansion (2)
She walked out of the house and was about to take Yunzhi to meet the people from the front hall. Before she reached the gate of the courtyard, she saw an old woman rushing into the courtyard.
Oh, isn’t that the old woman sweeping the floor that she saw when she first arrived?
The old woman had a face full of wrinkles, but when she saw Cheng Jinchu, she smiled like a chrysanthemum.
"Oh, my lady, you are finally back. Someone is coming over there today and is drinking tea in the front hall! Miss, please follow me, the old woman."
Cheng Jinchu smiled gently at the old woman. Yunzhi had never seen this old woman before. If she knew that this old woman had ignored her master before, she would definitely kick her out.
"Follow behind!"
The old servant smiled awkwardly, bent his body, and walked to the side and behind Cheng Jinchu and stood.
"What's the matter with that person?"
Cheng Jinchu was a little nonchalant. To be honest, if she didn't need to go into the Shen Mansion with those people, she would have been able to drive them out.
"To answer the young lady, I heard that it was someone sent by the Madam to take the young lady back to her house."
Cheng Jinchu walked in front, supported by Yunzhi, and the old servant followed behind, keeping a distance of more than one step.
"My daughter had just turned one month old when that man sent his own daughter to this farm. If you don't know, you might think that this is something only a stepmother would do. Maybe stepmothers are not that cruel!"
Yunzhi sneered and continued.
"Speaking of which, this manor belonged to my girl's grandmother before. After she passed away, the manor was left to my girl. But somehow, it suddenly became the property of the Shen family. The funniest thing is, a person from the imperial capital Cangzhou City, who is just a servant, is worthy of your respectful reception in the main hall?"
Yunzhi is one year younger than Cheng Jinchu's sister, and she knows about her affairs. As for her sister, Yunzhi thinks she is too soft-hearted and easy to bully, and she is always angry at her for not fighting back. Now, when she hears that the people from the Shen residence are so arrogant when they come to pick someone up, she becomes even angrier, and her voice becomes extremely cold. The old servant behind her quickly kneels down.
“Miss, then, then, we, we, that person is dressed very luxuriously, and looks very powerful, and is particularly fierce to us, we are also…”
Cheng Jinchu naturally knew that this group of people had been bullied for a long time, and their knees became weak when they met someone who seemed powerful.
"Get up and continue telling me who these people are. How many of them are here?"
Cheng Jinchu glanced at the old servant, gathered his cloak, and continued walking forward.
When the old servant heard what the young lady said, he quickly stood up and trotted after her.
"I went to the front and saw two people. One of them looked very respectable. I guess she was the head maid of the Madam. There was also a little girl. The fabric of her clothes was also very good. She looked like the young lady..."
The old woman originally wanted to say that the material was better than what the young lady was wearing, but she swallowed the rest of her words halfway through. Seeing that the young lady and the maid beside her did not start to scold her, she continued.
"That little girl, I think she should be about the same age as Miss Yun."
"Any more?"
Yunzhi walked in front and asked loudly.
"Oh, my lady, when those two came, they bossed us servants around, serving tea and water, and ordering snacks. When Xiaohua served tea, she was kicked, saying that she was so bold to serve them such cheap tea."
The old servant wanted to say that it was the best tea on the farm, but after looking at the two people in front of her, she didn't dare to say more, for fear of saying something wrong. She had been working in such a remote farm for many years and had never seen the world.
"Go on, what else did they do?"
"They have been here for a long time. They came in the morning. Manager Cheng happened to be out with his men. How could we dare to say anything? They even had a meal at the farm. Even the cook was taken away and taught a lesson. They said that the food the cook cooked was so unpalatable that even dogs wouldn't eat it..."
The old woman's voice became smaller and smaller. She lowered her head and looked at Cheng Jinchu nervously.
Cheng Jinchu saw that the main hall was in front of her. She glanced at the old servant who was following her with his body hunched.
"You go down! I roughly know what's going on."
The old servant bowed to Cheng Jinchu and left. Yunzhi helped Cheng Jinchu into the house.
When Cheng Jinchu and the others entered, they saw a maid sitting there, drinking tea leisurely. There was a little girl standing next to her. When she saw Cheng Jinchu coming in, the maid had no intention of standing up. She just raised her eyelids and glanced at the door.
"Fifth Miss is finally back. She doesn't look like a young lady at all these days. She has no manners at all!"
Cheng Jinchu's sister is the fifth child in the family and is a legitimate daughter. She has an older sister who is the fourth child.
The father of Cheng Jinchu's sister is the third child in the family. He is Master Shen San. He had no concubines at the beginning, but that did not prevent him from having many concubines. The first three, one son and two daughters, were all born to concubines. Moreover, they were not born to the same concubine. The three children were directly registered under the name of his wife, so outsiders thought that all five were born to his wife.
However, the son was in poor health and died at the age of five. After Master Shen San lost his son, he took his most beautiful and caring wife as a concubine. The concubine gave birth to three daughters for Master Shen. However, the concubine was unlucky. When she was pregnant again, she had a heavy hemorrhage and died with the child. It is said that the child was born with bruises all over his body, and it was a boy.
Currently, Mr. Shen San has seven daughters and no sons.
Cheng Jinchu was speechless. This was... a gathering of all seven fairies?
Seeing that Cheng Jinchu didn't say anything, the old woman sighed softly, picked up the teacup, blew on it, took a sip of tea, lowered her eyes, and didn't even look at Cheng Jinchu.
"When I arrived here, I heard that the fifth girl ran out early in the morning. I was really shocked. What kind of lady from a noble family would run out of the house every day? It's not proper."
Cheng Jinchu walked over and sat down, glancing at the old woman.
Yunzhi, who was standing next to Cheng Jinchu, was not happy. Don't underestimate her. Although she looked very delicate and cute, she was easy to bully at first glance. People who were familiar with her knew that it was best not to offend Miss Yun, especially not to say bad things about Cheng Jinchu in front of her. She was the one who protected Cheng Jinchu the most.
If Cheng Jinchu hadn't held her back, she would have stepped forward and beaten that old woman immediately. No one had ever dared to treat her like this before her master. She was really brave.
"My daughter is the master no matter what. You keep talking about rules, calling her a lady from a noble family, and calling her well-educated. But the rules say that you must not be polite when meeting a young lady."
Yunzhi put her hands on her waist and glared at the old woman. The old woman pointed at Yunzhi with her hands trembling slightly. She was so angry that she couldn't speak. What a courage! She was just a maid...
Half a day later, the old woman finally recovered. The most important thing for her now was to bring the person back. She forced a smile and spoke every word with gritted teeth.
"Girls, don't be too sharp-tongued. You might end up being unpopular."
Even as the old lady said this, she still stood up. The little girl beside her quickly stood up and supported her. Outsiders thought she was the wife of some wealthy family.
