The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 534: Hate
Chapter 534 Hate
Fortunately, Bai Qingyan was settled in a courtyard by Old Lady Dong, so Chuntao didn’t have to walk many steps.
Chuntao looked down on Qiuhuan from the bottom of her heart, and she couldn’t help feeling lucky… Fortunately, she came to Dengzhou with the eldest girl, otherwise what kind of monster would be serving the eldest girl?
“Princess!” Qiuhuan saw Chuntao leave and kowtowed to Bai Qingyan, “It’s really not your fault! I just want to serve you well and have no other thoughts. Sister Chuntao is afraid that Qiuhuan will take away your favor, so she is trying to trip me up. I… I…”
Qiu Huan looked at Bai Qingyan’s cold and indifferent eyes, and her voice became lower and lower, until in the end she could not even lift her head up, and she knelt there shivering without saying a word.
When Nanny Wang heard Bai Qingyan calling her and saw that Chuntao didn’t look very happy, her heart skipped a beat and she wondered if her niece had gotten into some trouble.
She put down the work in her hands and hurried towards Bai Qingyan’s room. As soon as she opened the curtain and entered the room, she saw Qiu Huan kneeling on the ground through the still swaying pearl curtain and the magpie nanmu screen.
Nanny Wang was immediately nervous and quickly lifted the pearl curtain and went in around the screen.
Hearing the sound of the curtain, Qiuhuan trembled, and seeing that it was Nanny Wang who came, she looked at Nanny Wang for help.
Nanny Wang glared at Qiu Huan and bowed to Bai Qingyan, “Cousin!”
“Madame Wang, please take this maid back with you!” Bai Qingyan did not give any reason and her expression was very indifferent.
“Yes!” Nanny Wang did not dare to ask more questions, and only said, “Tomorrow morning, I will bring a few smart and clever people to help my cousin choose.”
“Smartness is secondary. I like people who are honest and kind-hearted, and who won’t gossip and stir up trouble!” Bai Qingyan picked up the ancient book in her hand and continued to flip through it. “This time, for Madam’s sake, I will spare this maid. Madam, please don’t let this maid serve in front of Grandmother in the future. Grandmother is too old to bear this kind of trouble.”
Nanny Wang immediately understood that Bai Qingyan already knew about Qiu Huan’s relationship with her, and she kowtowed and saluted: “Thank you, cousin. Don’t worry, I will never let this girl serve in front of the old lady. This time it was my fault that this girl took advantage of the opportunity to come to my side. My cousin was kind enough to avoid her, but I will not avoid her! I apologize to you!”
“Madame, please stand up quickly!” Bai Qingyan reached out her hand to support Madame Wang. “Madame has served my grandmother for so many years. She is half my elder. There is absolutely no reason for Madame to perform such a great ceremony with me! Don’t I know what kind of person Madame is? I don’t mean to blame Madame… Madame should take her back and teach her well. After all, she is a child born at home, not like those bought from outside. If she gets into trouble… others will blame Madame!”
Bai Qingyan said this for Nanny Wang. How could Nanny Wang not know the reason after staying in the rear palace for so many years? This time, the little girl Qiuhuan came to the cousin under her banner.
Nanny Wang took Qiuhuan away without mercy, and had her whipped a few times and sent her back to reflect on her actions.
Qiuhuan was now extremely angry with Chuntao. She guessed that Chuntao must have said something bad about her in front of Princess Zhenguo when she was not paying attention, otherwise how could Princess Zhenguo drive her away.
Qiuhuan didn’t know that what she did outside Dong Qingyue’s study today… Chuntao didn’t tell Bai Qingyan at all. She didn’t think these things were shameful. Chuntao even felt that it made Bai Qingyan unhappy.
Before dawn the next day, Nanny Wang indeed brought a quiet and honest man to serve Bai Qingyan.
That little girl was a little too honest. She followed Chuntao with fear and trepidation. She did whatever Chuntao asked her to do and did it very well. It was obvious that Nanny Wang knew how to pick people.
After paying her respects to Old Lady Dong, Cui came back and finished her breakfast. She rinsed her mouth with rose water, then covered her lips with a handkerchief to spit out the water. Then she heard her personal nanny say in a low voice… Last night, Bai Qingyan was replaced by Nanny Wang’s niece, and Nanny Wang personally selected a maid and sent her to Bai Qingyan.
Cui wiped her lips with a handkerchief: “Changed?”
“I heard that Qiu Huan was whipped a few times.”
Cui was even more surprised: “But Qiu Huan didn’t serve well?”
Since the person was arranged by Cui, she naturally has more concerns.
“I’m not sure. Chuntao, who is beside Princess Zhenguo, is very tight-lipped. Especially since she is in the old lady’s courtyard, it’s hard to find out! But she is Nanny Wang’s niece, so if something really goes wrong, it can’t be blamed on the madam.” said the nanny who served Cui personally.
“Madam, what are you talking about?” Cui handed the handkerchief to the maid in dissatisfaction and stood up. “I know what kind of personality my cousin has. How can you blame me? I should go and ask… If Qiu Huan didn’t serve me properly, it can serve as a warning to everyone in the mansion. Don’t make the same mistake again and let my cousin live more comfortably. I heard from the master yesterday that my cousin might not stay for a few days and will leave.”
When the maid heard Cui’s words, she smiled so much that wrinkles appeared on her face. She hurriedly helped Cui out and said, “Madam, you are really broad-minded. I can’t compare to you!”
Bai Qingyan had breakfast with Old Madam Dong, and heard Old Madam Dong express to her that she was unwilling to go to Shuoyang with her.
Old Lady Dong picked up a piece of red date, kidney bean and yam cake and placed it on the white jade plate in front of Bai Qingyan. She waved her hand holding the chopsticks and smiled, “Grandma is old and can’t do it anymore! She has to stay in Dengzhou and take good care of herself… When my little Abao gets married, grandma will try her best and go to see our Abao get married in person!”
After saying that, Old Lady Dong also picked up the chopsticks and took a small bite of the red date, kidney bean and yam cake. This was made by Nanny Wang herself. Nanny Wang made it once when Bai Qingyan was a child. Bai Qingyan enjoyed the delicious taste of the cake, so Nanny Wang remembered it and got up early today to put this dessert on the table before breakfast.
Seeing that her grandmother’s eyes were warm, Bai Qingyan had still made up her mind. She nodded and lowered her head to eat the yam cake.
Seeing that Bai Qingyan had used a lot today, Old Lady Dong was also happy. After rinsing her mouth with the perfume, Old Lady Dong wiped her hands with a wet towel and said with a smile: “You are the same as your mother. You both like to eat these light-tasting things! You can eat the same thing as me!”
In the eyes of Old Lady Dong, Bai Qingyan is still a child…but this child has to shoulder heavy burdens after his grandfather and father passed away. How can she not feel distressed?
Old Lady Dong looked at Bai Qingyan, whose words and actions were elegant and dignified, and her eyes could not help but become red again. She quickly turned her head away and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
