Mrs. Shen calmed down for a while and then asked: "If I remember correctly, when your wife was still in your hometown, you should not have been with her, right?"
"Yes, the old lady remembers it correctly. This slave only came to serve in the lady's room three years ago."
"So, who else in your wife's room has followed you since your hometown until now?"
"As for the old lady, there are no more now." Hanqiao said, "When Madam followed the master to Yongzhou Mansion, there were only two nuns around, the slave girl and Aunt Guo. The slave girl is old and not in good health. In the third year after arriving in Yongzhou Mansion, she left due to illness. Aunt Guo was kicked out of the mansion by her master because she committed a crime.
"The eldest maid has two sisters, Fang Liu and Fang Gui. Now they have been released to get married, and they have gone to the village with their husband's family to work as steward wives.
"The little maids are slaves, He, and Chunlan. They all learned the rules after coming to Yongzhou Mansion, and were gradually promoted to the Madam's room."
"Then where is Aunt Guo now after she was kicked out?" Old Mrs. Shen had an impression of the two nannies and two maids around Xu. After all, they had contact with each other in her hometown back then.
"Mama Guo is going home to take care of her grandson now. Occasionally, Madam will ask her to do some things that are inconvenient for others to do."
…
Half an hour later, Hanqiao stood in the alley near Grandma Guo's house, recalling the first task that Mrs. Shen gave her - to lure Grandma Guo out, but not to let Mrs. Xu get the news.
Hanqiao stood in the alley for a long time, and finally an unkempt little beggar passed by.
She hurriedly held back her disgust and called the person to a halt, saying, "Child, go to the house with the black door and help me call the old lady out. The money will be yours."
For the little beggar, this was a good opportunity to make easy money, so he quickly ran to Grandma Guo’s house and knocked on the door.
It was Grandma Guo who answered the door. After hearing what the little beggar said, she raised her head suspiciously and looked towards the alley.
Hanqiao showed his face appropriately, and then ducked into the alley.
The little beggar jumped over and took away the copper plate. Grandma Guo closed the courtyard door and walked over quickly.
"What kind of wind is this? It's blowing you here, Miss Hanqiao. Why don't you go into the house?"
Hanqiao deliberately looked around, and when she saw no one around, she said softly: "Madam has an important errand to run for grandma, but it's not convenient to announce it, so she asked me to come quietly to find grandma."
"Mommy, please go home and explain to me quickly, and then just follow me." Hanqiao said and then warned, "Mommy has been with my wife for many years, so she has a sense of propriety. But after all, it's been some time since I've been home. It’s better to tell me in vain, what should be said and what shouldn’t be said, Mammy must be measured."
When Hanqiao said this, Grandma Guo felt a lot of grief in her heart, but she couldn't show it on her face.
After all, Hanqiao is now by Mrs. Xu's side. If she stirs up trouble, she doesn't have to make Mrs. Xu dislike and alienate her. She just needs to quietly make Mrs. Xu forget about using her. She will really have no way to turn to her in the future. .
So even though Hanqiao said this rudely, Aunt Guo didn't dare to get angry, and even said with a compensatory smile: "Don't worry, Miss Hanqiao, I've got it! I'll go home and explain, and I'll be back soon, sure." Don’t delay Madam’s business.”
"This matter will take some time. Remember to bring two changes of clothes." Hanqiao said to her again.
"Okay, okay!" Grandma Guo went home happily.
Now she can finally see that as long as she is still useful to Madam, she will live a comfortable life at home.
Recently, her daughter-in-law has started to be a little bit irritable. Grandma Guo originally thought that she would just tolerate it and get over it, but unexpectedly she started to get even worse.
Thinking about these things, Grandma Guo happily packed up two pieces of clothes, walked out of the house and said to her daughter-in-law: "Madam, please ask me to do something. If you are going to be away for a few days, you can take more care of the family affairs." Bar!"
Xu's daughter-in-law had benefited from the previous employment of people for work. At this time, she was naturally supportive and said: "Mom, don't worry, I will take good care of the children at home. You just have to concentrate on doing the things my wife has given me." , you don’t have to worry about anything at home.”
"Oh, by the way, don't talk about this outside, or you may make Madam angry."
After saying that, Grandma Guo walked out carrying the small bundle, smiled at Hanqiao and said, "Okay, I've explained everything."
"Okay, let's get in the car." Hanqiao also smiled at her and followed her into the carriage.
The carriage drove for a while and stopped at the entrance of a private house.
After getting out of the car, Grandma Guo looked at the unfamiliar streets and alleys around her: "Is this Madam's new yard? It looks a little unfamiliar, and I have no impression of it!"
"Of course it's new. Mom, hurry up!" After tricking people into it, Han Qiao's job was completed.
As for what Nanny Guo would encounter inside, she didn't want to think too much about it.
As soon as Aunt Guo entered the house, the door slammed shut behind her.
She was startled, looked up and looked around, and saw a nanny who looked familiar, but couldn't recognize her for a moment.
Aunt Guo secretly thought to herself, could it be that Mrs. Xu has someone else around her? But where did this person get promoted?
She said hello first: "Hello, I wonder what my lady's orders are this time?"
The nun in the room sneered and said, "I don't have any orders from the madam here, only the old lady's orders."
Grandma Guo finally remembered why she felt that this person looked familiar. She was not the same Grandma Huang she had met beside Mrs. Shen back then.
Hanqiao clearly said that the lady was looking for her to do something, but why did she turn into an old lady again after entering the house?
Aunt Guo knew that she had been deceived, and an ominous premonition arose in her heart. She subconsciously grabbed the baggage in her hand nervously and held it in front of her, as if this could help her resist.
"Let's get started!" I heard Nanny Huang say from above.
While Grandma Guo was still thinking about what to start, several people suddenly rushed up, snatched away the bundle in her hand, pushed her down on the bench, and started playing the game without saying a word.
"Ah - Ouch - ah -"
As the wet nurse and dowry mother of the Xu family, Nanny Guo was kicked out of the Shen Mansion by Shen Zhonglei even if she made a big mistake. She had never experienced this before, and she was so painful that she cried like a ghost.
Unfortunately, they didn't even ask, so she didn't know what to explain even if she wanted to.
The board continued to fall. Seeing that it was useless to beg for mercy, Grandma Guo quickly changed the direction and promised desperately: "Don't fight, please, don't fight!"
"I'll tell you whatever you want to know, I'll tell you everything!"
The board suddenly stopped, and Grandma Guo fell down from the bench helplessly.
Through the tears in her eyes, she saw Aunt Huang's face approaching her, her mouth opening and closing, and she said something that made her wish she had died immediately.
"Then let's talk about the second lady and Zhao Haijun!"
