"This concubine is too ostentatious. Although there are old rules in the mansion that must be followed, every month everyone exceeds the limit a little. The master didn't say anything, but now she wants to make a rule and make those who spend more than the limit pay!"

Jianqiu said with some disgust.

Life is already hard, and even the masters have to save money, let alone the servants.

Yixiu raised an eyebrow, "I know this will be unfair to you, go back and get some money from my private vault to supplement our courtyard!"

Jianqiu hurriedly bowed to express her gratitude.

Gan was of Han descent, and the old rules in this prefecture were originally established at the beginning of the country.

At that time, Emperor Taizu had many children and it was the early days of the founding of the country, so naturally, everything had to be frugal. If this quota were used today, it would definitely not be enough.

Everyone naturally understands this truth, but they just don’t dare to change it because of the rules passed down by their ancestors!

But in private, is there any family that really follows the rules of their ancestors and lives their lives strictly according to the rules?

"Forget it, she can do whatever she wants, we can just watch the show!"

Yixiu chuckled. She didn't need to do it herself anyway. After all, Gan Ziyun had offended too many people with this move.

…………

Gan Chaiyun acted quickly and immediately sent a nanny to Qingzhuju.

That nanny was Gan Ziyun's dowry nanny, and she was usually quite respectable, so she was a little arrogant.

"This old servant is from the Concubine's courtyard. Today I'm here on her behalf to visit Princess Rouze!"

Nanny Sun looked at Cui'an with a forced smile and said.

Although Cui'an was somewhat dissatisfied with Nanny Sun's attitude, she was, after all, a concubine, while her master was a princess.

She was too embarrassed to show any displeasure, so she smiled and replied, "Thank you for your kindness, Concubine! But my princess is still ill and can't see anyone. Please go back!"

Nanny Sun pulled a box out of her bosom and handed it to Cui'an, saying, "This is a gift from Concubine Fujin's family. It's not worth much, but I gave one to each of the princesses in the mansion. This one is for Princess Rouze!"

Cui'an's face suddenly fell. The concubine was just a Han woman, but the princesses were from the Ulanara family. They had seen all kinds of good things. Was she deliberately coming here to cause trouble?

But there was nothing wrong with what she said, so Cui'an reluctantly accepted the box and said, "This servant would like to thank Concubine Concubine for the reward on behalf of Princess Gege!"

Cui'an had just taken the box and was about to leave when Nanny Sun grabbed her and said, "What are the rules in this courtyard? I haven't even finished my words yet, why are you running away?"

Cui'an was, after all, Rouze's maid, and was usually quite respectable. Seeing that an old maid dared to pull her around, she couldn't help but get annoyed.

"Madam, you are so arrogant! Not only the concubine, but even the people around the concubine wouldn't dare to talk to me like that! Although my princess's status is not high now, she is from the Ulanara family after all, and she is the niece of the Consort De. If you want to show off, you'd better go somewhere else!"

Having said that, Cui'an glared at Nanny Sun fiercely and turned away.

Nanny Sun came today just to give Rouze a warning. When she saw Cui'an dared to speak to her in such a disrespectful manner, she angrily slapped her in the face.

"You little bitch! I'm also the concubine's nanny after all. Now that the concubine is in charge of the entire mansion, how can I even ask you? I advise you not to bring up the Virtuous Consort to scare people. Aren't you afraid of being embarrassed! If the Virtuous Consort was really proud of your master, she wouldn't let her be a princess!"

Nanny Sun grabbed Cui'an by the collar and scolded her fiercely, "Today I'm just teaching you a lesson. I'm here to inform you that your courtyard's expenses exceeded last month's budget. All the ladies in the mansion have their share, and yours is way too expensive. One person spends as much as three! Our Fourth Master is so honest and upright out there, and you've ruined his reputation!"

After saying that, Nanny Sun pushed Cui'an away and left.

But now, Cui'an has been insulted, how can we let her go like this?

She immediately grabbed Madam Sun and yelled into the room, "Madam Sun, you can't leave! Let's talk things over! What do you mean, 'Your Majesty's reputation has been ruined by us?'"

After hearing Cui'an's cry, a nanny and a maid came out of the room.

Nanny Qian was Rouze's wet nurse, and the other maid happened to be her daughter, Xing'er.

Nowadays, there is a shortage of people in Rouze's yard.

Jueluo arranged for both mother and daughter to stay with Rouze.

Nanny Qian is Rouze's wet nurse. She is always treated with respect and admiration when she goes out. But now that she has come to the palace, she is still a little arrogant.

"Where did this filthy old woman come from? Cui'an, you are a servant of the princess, why are you getting involved with such a thing? Xing'er, go to the outer courtyard and find two young eunuchs to take this filthy old woman away for me, so as not to dirty the master's ears!"

Nanny Sun couldn't stand hearing this at all. She was a little irritable and immediately started fighting with Nanny Qian.

"What nonsense are you talking about, you old thing? I'm the concubine's sidekick. If you dare to say that to me, you're slapping her in the face. You even dare to ask someone to take me away. Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you be the master of this mansion?"

The two of them immediately started to pull each other. Cui'an and Xing'er were both on Rouze's side, so naturally they also helped Nanny Qian.

Nanny Sun was at a disadvantage for a moment, her clothes were torn into a mess, her hair was torn loose, and there were bloody marks on her face from someone's scratches.

Nanny Sun glared at the three of them angrily, then pointed at them and cursed, "Well, you unruly people, you actually dared to hit me? Wait until I tell the concubine!"

Aunt Qian sneered and spat, "Bah! Go ahead and sue me if you have the guts!"

What was a concubine? Even the legitimate wives in the mansion were their princesses' concubines. She wanted to see what a concubine of Han origin could do!

Nanny Sun was angry and annoyed, and limped back to Gan Ziyun's yard.

After returning to the courtyard, she not only recounted what had just happened, but also fanned the flames, saying, "Concubine, this Rouze Princess is too lawless! I have never seen such a bastard before. If you don't discipline her, she will definitely rebel in the future!"

Since Gan Ziyun sent Nanny Sun out, she knew that she was a hot-tempered person who spoke harshly and wanted to embarrass Rouze. However, she didn't expect that Rouze didn't care about Bai Ji's status as a concubine at all and actually beat Nanny Sun back.

"Okay, I'll give her some face and send someone to talk things over. She actually dared to beat my people back. Is she planning a rebellion?"

Tao Ye still had some sense. She pulled Gan Ziyun's sleeve and advised, "Girl Rouze is of a special status after all. She's not an ordinary concubine. Why don't you go back to your wife and discuss this matter first?"
