After she said that, she glanced at Yang Momo.

Yang Momo understood and immediately handed the purse that she had prepared long ago to Madam Qian.

Aunt Qian stood up and pretended to decline, "It is a blessing for me to be valued by the Second Madam. I can't..."

"You will have to work harder in the future, Madam Qian. We don't have much money, so our Second Madam will treat you to a little wine."

"Haha, then I would like to thank the Second Madam for the reward."

Nanny Qian took the purse with a smile, pinched it with her sturdy fingers, and found that it was filled with silver ingots. She narrowed her eyes and smiled.

She had a round face and thick earlobes on both sides, and this smile made her look even kinder.

Bai Youyou knew that this man's secretive methods were extremely powerful.

Mrs. Lu has been feeling very proud these days. She told Cuizhu, "Go and bring Miss Wu here. Tell Aunt Qiao that Miss Wu will learn the rules from me in the future. She can go back when she has learned them well."

Cuizhu took the order and went to Weiruixuan.

Bai Yaoyao was lying on the bed with a pale face at this moment.

After three nights of fright, she was like a frightened bird. Even though she returned to her own yard last night, she did not dare to sleep peacefully.

Aunt Qiao held the handkerchief tightly and said with a stern face, "The Fifth Miss is not feeling well now. You go back and report to the Madam. After two days, when the Fifth Miss is well again, she will go to her to learn the rules."

"Madam Qiao, I am following orders and I dare not make any mistakes."

Cuizhu was neither humble nor arrogant. She gave a look to the two old women behind her, and the two old women immediately stepped forward.

"presumptuous!"

Aunt Qiao stood in front of the couch and shouted angrily, "The Fifth Miss is a precious girl. If you dare to touch her, I will tell the master and have him sell you all out!"

"The Fifth Miss's learning of etiquette was ordered by the old lady, and Madam is also following the old lady's orders. If Auntie is dissatisfied, she can go and ask the old lady for instructions."

Cuizhu waved her hand, and two maids came forward. The maids and servants around Aunt Qiao immediately stepped forward to stop them.

For a moment, Wei Rui Xuan was filled with deafening noise.

Cuizhu and the two old women, with their messy hair and clothes, deliberately walked through the crowded road.

The maids, old women and servants who saw the situation stopped what they were doing and looked at them in surprise.

"Isn't that Cuizhu from the Second Madam's room? Why is she in such a mess?"

"Yes, Cuizhu is the head maid in the Second Madam's courtyard. Who dares to bully her?"

"You are blind. Didn't you see that there were two maids following her? One is from the courtyard of the fourth young lady of the second house, and the other is from the second lady."

"Yes, it seems to have come from Aunt Qiao's place."

"Don't you know? The old lady asked the second lady to send someone to teach the fifth lady the rules. I'm afraid that Aunt Qiao will take advantage of Qiao and will not take the second lady seriously."

"Tsk tsk tsk, if that's the case, the Second House will have something interesting to watch."

Everyone gathered together, discussing the matter one by one, and in just a moment, the news reached the ears of several other masters in the Marquis' Mansion.

The old lady folded the peach wood Buddhist beads in her hands, with her eyes downcast and the corners of her mouth drooping.

Zhang Momo, who was beside her, was using a pair of fire tongs to pick up the charcoal in the stove. She knew that she was angry and asked cautiously, "Madam, do you want to send someone to give Aunt Qiao a beating?"

She had been serving the old lady since she was seven years old. After entering the Marquis's Mansion, she married a steward of the Marquis's Mansion. He had been by her side all these years, and she understood the old lady's thoughts best.

In the past, he protected Aunt Qiao only because she was his niece, and since the Second Master liked her, he allowed her to be arrogant.

Over the years, the second master's career has not been smooth, and he is not as good as the third master, who has already been promoted to the fourth-rank prefect.

He is now exiled to Qingzhou. I heard that he has achieved good results during his tenure and it is very likely that he will be transferred back to the capital in the near future.

The Marquis' Mansion must not have any scandals that would affect its reputation, otherwise it would affect the Third Master's career, which would be a loss.

The old lady paused while turning her Buddhist beads and raised her drooping eyelids. "Go in person and take the fifth young lady to Lu's courtyard. Also, punish Aunt Qiao by confining her to her house for a month."

"I heard that early in the morning, the Second Madam sent her maid to borrow money from the First Madam."

The old lady snorted and laughed, "Lu is stupid, this trick was probably thought up by the old lady Yang beside her."

The Qiao family was arrogant. If Yang Momo hadn't protected the Lu family from all those schemes over the years, she would have fallen into the trap of that little witch long ago.

In this backyard, taking someone's life is easy and difficult at the same time.

"The boss has never stopped taking his medicine, right?"

"That person said that the Marquis ordered him to go to Jishitang to buy things every month, and he never stopped."

"You go do your work first."

The old lady leaned on the couch, waved at her, and closed her eyes.

"Mother, please help your daughter-in-law! This concubine is going to make a scene!"

Zhang Momo had just walked out of the door when Lu came running over unexpectedly, howling at such a loud voice that could be heard three miles away.

The corners of her mouth twitched. She never expected that she would end up like this.

She hurriedly went up to him and whispered, "Second Madam, the old lady has just gone to bed, please speak softly."

"Zhang Momo, I didn't mean to disturb my mother's peace. It was that bitch Qiao who didn't take me, her mistress, seriously at all."

Lu howled loudly, and no tears came out even after blinking hard, so she simply gave up.

She howled loudly, "I was only asking the Fifth Miss to come to my courtyard to learn the rules in the name of my mother, but that Qiao not only disobeyed my order, but also beat my maids and servants, and threatened to find my husband and sell all my people out."

"This is not a concubine or a servant, this is the Bodhisattva enshrined on the lotus throne! Which concubine dares to be so arrogant? I can't live like this anymore!"

Looking at Lu who was howling miserably without a tear in her eyes, Zhang Momo tried hard to keep a straight face and not let herself break down.

"Second Madam, the old lady already knows about this matter, and she was very angry just now."

She took Lu's hand and advised, "You go back first. I will go to Wei Rui Xuan to convey the old lady's words."

"In that case, I won't disturb my mother's peace. I will go back now."

The goal had been achieved, and Lu walked away with her head held high and swaggering, like a female general who had won a battle.

Zhang Momo smiled and shook her head, then turned around and went back to report the matter to the old lady.

"If the second brother comes over in the next few days, tell him that I have a headache and I won't see anyone."

"Yes."

Zhang Momo took the order and went to Weiruixuan with four strong maids.

Mrs. Lu returned to Fangfei Garden and drank the warm tea that her daughter had prepared long ago.

"Oh, I've been howling all the way, but my voice has become hoarse."

Bai Youyou looked at her dry eyes and knew that she was just talking nonsense and not shedding a single tear.
