Chapter 62: You send people, I send two people.
Chapter 62
Later, due to various coincidences, she kidnapped Ye Zhuohua, who had just entered the Censorate when he was young and impetuous, forcing him to become her bandit husband.
After going through many setbacks, the two finally got together and married, so she followed him and married into the Censorate, becoming the overbearing wife with the final say in Bianjing City.
She never cared about any of the madams in the capital, only the peerless beauties Madam Ye and Mrs. Lin from Bianjing City were considered her best friends. As for others, they were just worthless dogs in her eyes.
She had a straightforward and tough personality. Whoever dared to confront her, she could argue back on the spot.
Only for the daughter left by Madam Ye, because she felt too heartbroken and ashamed, she didn\'t dare to overstep that line to take care of her.
Today when she was late getting back and told her that Gu Ying was finally willing to get close to the Ye family, she was so happy that she almost went crazy.
What else was she waiting for?
She thought about it and immediately tidied herself up and headed straight for the Gu\'s tent.
Mrs. Liu\'s body shook and she forced out a laugh, "Qin is joking..."
"I\'m not joking!" Qin said with a false smile, "Come on, bring in the things I prepared for Gu Ying!"
Several maidservants filed in carrying nice wooden boxes.
The maids trained by the Censorate all had straight backs and smiles on their faces, making Mrs. Liu and her daughter\'s faces even darker.
Gu Ying looked at them doubtfully, "Auntie, what is this?"
Qin glared fiercely at Mrs. Liu, then turned her head and smiled at Gu Ying, "These are the new clothes that auntie prepared for you long ago, but never had a chance to send them to you. Look at you, your clothes are so dirty and torn by the branches. You must have been freezing at the bottom of the cliff last night alone, poor child. Don\'t be afraid, from now on auntie will take good care of you."
Her words were heartbreaking. Gu Ying also felt upset, after all it was her who had listened to Gu Jia\'s slander, which led to her estrangement from the Ye family. Now she sincerely regretted it...
"Auntie..."
Qin patted the back of her hand and said again, "There are also two sets of clothes for your fourth sister, just a little gift from auntie. I hope the fourth young lady will appreciate it."
Gu Shuang was pleasantly surprised, "Shuang thanks Madam Qin..."
"What\'s there to thank? Last night you didn\'t care for your own life for my Gu Ying. I\'m sending you just two dresses which is too simple. I\'ll select some good paintings later to send to you."
"Oh, this..."
The paintings and calligraphy from the Ye family were naturally all from famous masters!
Gu Shuang didn\'t expect Qin to be so generous. The things from the Censorate were naturally extremely good.
"As long as you treat Gu Ying well, our Ye family will never let her down."
When Qin spoke, her words flowed smoothly without interruption, not giving Mrs. Liu and her daughter a chance to interrupt at all. In the end, she simply treated this place as her own home, and solemnly ordered, "Where are the servants of the Gu family? The young ladies are so dirty, and still no one goes to boil hot water for the two young ladies to bathe? With such poor judgement, how can they serve as maids in a prominent family? Madam Liu, I don\'t mean to criticize you, but as the lady of the house, the people you have trained are so unreliable. Why don\'t I send a couple of maids to help you manage things? What do you think?"
As she spoke, she didn\'t wait for Mrs. Liu to refuse, but directly called out the two maids in green brocade, "Yin Lan, Yin Zhu, come over and pay your respects to the second young lady."
After Yin Lan and Yin Zhu met Gu Ying, Gu Ying smiled helplessly and asked them to rise, "Auntie is too polite."
Qin gently stroked her messy hair, "This is nothing. Auntie has sent Yin Lan and Yin Zhu to serve you. From now on, they are yours, life and death, if they dare to betray you, I will be the first one not to spare them."
Gu Ying only had Rouge temporarily and no one else to use, so Qin\'s maids happened to fill her vacancy.
She smiled and accepted.
But Mrs. Liu did not agree, "Madam Qin, you don\'t have to worry about the second young lady\'s daily life. I have arranged maids to serve her early on. After all, you are from the Ye family. It wouldn\'t look good if others know you interfere in the affairs of my Gu family like this?"
"Your clumsy servants can\'t compare to my people," Qin made no secret of her disgust for Mrs. Liu, "Don\'t be angry. The two maids I sent don\'t need payment from the Gu family. They will each get 5 taels of silver a month from my Ye family."
When Qin said this, the maids in the Gu\'s tent looked at each other in disbelief.
5 taels of silver?
The monthly pay of a side daughter of the Gu family\'s main room was only 2-3 taels of silver.
The first class maids of the Ye family actually had more money than the young ladies, enjoying more dignity and status!
Mrs. Liu\'s face turned red. She was petty all along, so naturally the Ye family was much more generous than her when running the household. Now in front of the maids, she suddenly couldn\'t hold her head high and it was awkward for her to refuse the matter.
Gu Jia and Gu Wan gritted their teeth in jealousy, wishing they had been born in a better womb and gained such a generous aunt\'s family!
Qin was too lazy to linger with such an indecent woman like Mrs. Liu. "Gu Ying, let\'s go to your tent. Auntie has something personal to tell you."
Gu Ying nodded and signaled Gu Shuang to go with her.
Qin didn\'t say anything. Although there was no such dirty infighting in her household, she still knew a thing or two about the nasty affairs in the inner courtyard.
Back in her own tent, someone had prepared hot water.
When Qingfeng and Ming Yue saw a large group of people coming in a hustle and bustle, they were shocked with eyes wide open. Hearing that Qin had sent Yin Zhu and Yin Lan to serve the second young lady, Qingfeng felt threatened.
"Ming Yue, those two maids were sent by the Ye family?"
"Yes..." Ming Yue looked at the demeanor and outfit of those maids, worlds apart from herself, and was a little jealous, "I don\'t know what the Madam from the Ye family means by sending more people to the Twilight Snow Studio when the second young lady already has enough. Isn\'t this obviously trying to slap our madam\'s face and compete with us sisters for work? If they gain the second young lady\'s favor, will there still be a place for us in Twilight Snow Studio?"
Qingfeng frowned, "We can\'t let those two stay."
A shrewd look flashed in Ming Yue\'s eyes, "Sister Qingfeng, do you have any good ideas?"
"Let\'s wait and see."
She didn\'t have a way for now, but Yin Lan and Yin Zhu would live together from now on since they were sent here. Qingfeng was always calm and slowly had an idea.
