Just because she looks weak doesn't mean she's easy to bully.

The Duke's wife's house was bustling all day long. After dinner, Ning Jiaoer and Cheng Jinchu went back.

Just like when she came, Ning Jiaoer first sent Cheng Jinchu back to the Shen Mansion before leaving.

When Cheng Jinchu and Yunzhi returned to their yard, Mo Ling was not there.

In the past, according to Cheng Jinchu's requirements, all the servants in her yard had to report to Yunzhi before leaving after completing a day's work.

Just like punching in and out at get off work, all the servants in Cheng Jinchu's yard need to punch in to Yunzhi one by one to report their work.

In fact, this requirement is mainly for Mo Ling. Of course, it is also convenient for management. When the subordinates need to ask for leave sometimes, they can find Yunzhi after finishing their work and explain the situation.

When Cheng Jinchu returned to the yard, only the two maids and two old women she had found before were there. They moved stools and sat at the door of the house. When they saw Cheng Jinchu coming back, they quickly stood up and saluted.

Cheng Jinchu waved his hand to signal them to get up.

"Xiaoxiang, Xiaohua, go get the charcoal basin and come into the house together!"

Xiaoxiang and Xiaohua are the names of the two maids. They are a pair of sisters. Xiaoxiang is seventeen years old, and Xiaohua and Dahua are two years old.

After they arrived, Yunzhi went to inquire about them and found out that one of them was a maid who cooked in the kitchen, and the other washed clothes in the backyard. After the sisters' parents died, they were sold by their uncle and aunt, and then bought into the Shen Mansion to work. They have been staying in the Shen Mansion for more than half a year now.

After Cheng Jinchu entered the room and sat down, a maid came forward.

"Fifth Miss, can I take a day off tomorrow? My daughter-in-law has given birth and is not feeling well. I want to go back and see her."

The old woman looked very anxious.

"Okay, since Xiaoling is still here to help, it shouldn't affect you. When you leave tomorrow, go to the kitchen and get an old hen. Your daughter-in-law has just given birth, so she needs to replenish her body. You all know that I just came back and don't have much money. I'll tell mother when the time comes, so just go to the kitchen and get it."

"Hey~"

The old woman was very touched. They all knew that the fifth young lady was pitiful and had encountered so many problems just after returning home.

The old woman asked for leave and stood aside, while another old woman stepped forward a few steps.

"Miss, there isn't much work to do in your yard, and you don't need Xiaoling's..."

As the old woman spoke, she looked up at Cheng Jinchu to see if there was anything wrong with her expression, and then decided whether to continue.

"what happened?"

Cheng Jinchu asked gently.

"that is…"

When the old woman said this, Xiaoxiang and Xiaohua came in carrying a burning charcoal brazier.

They carefully put the charcoal brazier away. Xiaohua just heard the old woman's hesitation to speak.

Xiaohua is a straightforward person. She thinks that Cheng Jinchu is the master and the master should know everything and should not hide anything, so she walked straight forward and Xiaoxiang beside her did not hold her back.

"Miss, Xiaoling is really not suitable for work. She always messes up every time she does something. We have already done it, but when she messes it up, not only can we not finish the work ourselves, but we also have to do what she did again."

Xiaohua said this without any scruples. After all, she was not like an old woman who had lived for so many years. Even if she was a little bit mean, she would still consider other things.

For example, although Xiaoling was a fake, she had lived here as a lady before. Moreover, even if they knew she was a fake, the master and his men did not do anything to her.

Furthermore, she also thought about the young lady's attitude towards Xiaoling, so even though she felt uncomfortable, she was still hesitant.

"Well... you all know that Xiaoling is another Miss Shen that Manager Mo trained with the idea of ​​using her to impersonate me.

Alas... She is not like me. She has suffered before and can work. She has never done housework. Even she said that she was not aware of it and it was her grandfather's idea. She still felt bad about it, so she served me.

I am actually annoyed too. What on earth should I ask her to do? Oh, where is Xiaoling?"

After hearing Cheng Jinchu's question, several people looked at each other, lowered their heads and stopped talking.

Yunzhi was a little angry and she stood there with her hands on her hips.

"Speak up! Don't tell me you don't know that the young lady has a good temper, but I am not. I will never let my young lady suffer any grievances and let you all think that the master is easy to fool."

Several people lowered their heads even more. After a few seconds of silence, Xiaohua came forward.

"Miss, we, we really don't know, Xiaoling hardly talks to us, sometimes we feel she is annoying, it's because she makes us do more things, so sometimes when she is not here, we feel very relaxed, and the work can be done smoothly. She always comes back before Miss, and it doesn't affect anything."

Of course Cheng Jinchu knew where Xiaoling was. She just smiled and spoke to everyone.

"Okay, I know about Xiaoling's situation. You all go and have a rest first."

The four people standing below bowed and left. Cheng Jinchu looked at Yunzhi and smiled slightly.

"Little girl, come with me to Aunt Mo's place!"

As he said that, Cheng Jinchu was about to go to Aunt Mo's place. However, before he walked out of the courtyard gate, he ran into Aunt Mo who came angrily. She was still holding Xiaoling's ear in her hand. As soon as she saw Cheng Jinchu, she threw Mo Ling to the ground.

"The girl in your yard has no manners at all. She was feeding a wild cat by the garden. I was just passing by and the beast suddenly appeared and scared me..."

Aunt Mo looked very angry, and that was right, but it always felt like her anger was just superficial. Her acting skills were not good, Cheng Jinchu commented in his heart.

"Of course, I've never been a person who cares about things. I was just unlucky to be frightened. But this wild girl actually rushed out to chase a wild cat and almost knocked me into the water."

After hearing what Aunt Mo said, Cheng Jinchu showed a very surprised expression. At the same time, she moved closer to Yunzhi and whispered.

"Do you think this story is well written?"

Yunzhi's eyes were full of disgust and she shook her head.

Cheng Jinchu shrugged and said that she didn't believe it anyway.

Seeing that Cheng Jinchu still had the leisure to whisper something to Yunzhi, Aunt Mo's rage suddenly rose to her head.

"Why, Miss Fifth, do you think I deserve to be bumped into by your maid?"

Cheng Jinchu shook his head and pretended to be innocent.

"How could that be, Auntie? You really wronged me. I... As soon as I saw you, you pulled me aside and talked to me a lot. I didn't even react, and you said that I was gloating over other people's misfortunes. I was wronged.

It's just that Xiaoling has always been sensible and reasonable, and Auntie also knows that she was specially trained by Manager Mo to be a young lady. How could she be so rude and do such a thing? I was just curious about this for a moment, so I didn't say anything right away."

Aunt Mo felt that she and Shen Jinyi were simply incompatible. Why was it that every time Shen Jinyi acted respectful to her elders, but in fact, every word he said was contrary to her, leaving her unable to say anything to refute her for a while, so she had to put on the airs of an elder.

"Ahem... Never mind. I know you're a good kid, but you grew up outside these years. This girl is your maid. I've asked her before. These things were all her grandfather's idea. She was willing to stay with you. So, I'll take her back and teach her. I'll give her to you after she's done."

Hearing Aunt Mo's words, Cheng Jinchu looked delighted and quickly responded.

"Thank you, Auntie, you are so kind!"

Aunt Mo snorted and left with Mo Ling. Cheng Jinchu stood at the gate and watched them leave.

"She obviously wants to take Mo Ling over, but she's still doing all this. If I didn't also want to give Mo Ling to her, I wouldn't be so stupid to cooperate with her if I couldn't find a reason right away. Really."

Yunzhi looked at the direction the two men left and snorted.

"Let's go, little girl, we have things to do in the middle of the night!"

Cheng Jinchu had turned around and returned to the yard. Yunzhi looked into the distance again, then hurried into the yard and locked the gate.
