EBE Chapter 627 Rumors
Chapter 627 Rumors
Now the relationship between the General's Mansion and the Prime Minister's family was completely known to everyone in the capital.
Shen Chulan, Ye Wan, and Yaoyao, who were outside shopping for maids, naturally heard the people's discussion.
Everyone was staring at their discussion, and it was difficult to pretend not to hear.
As soon as he bought a maid from a human trafficker, the servant was chased and questioned by the common people.
"Madam, I heard that you are related to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and are cousins. Is this true or false?"
"Are the Prime Minister and your family really cousins? Your family's ancestral tombs are truly auspicious! A first-rank civil official and a first-rank military officer emerged from the same clan. It must be that the tombs of your ancestors were buried in a place of excellent feng shui."
Shen Chulan: Bullshit, I have the life I have now because I stole the fate of their entire family.
"Yes, if that's true, why don't you go to the Prime Minister's house to visit and build a good relationship? They are the Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister's daughter is the Princess Anguo of Anping State. If I had such a relative, I would visit them immediately."
The person who said this had a tone of envy and regret in his voice.
Ye Wan: Do you want the person who stole your fate to give it to you?
Yaoyao looked at them and knew that this was spread by the Prime Minister's Mansion again.
Shen Chulan, Ye Wan and the others ignored the voices around them and got into the carriage with their maids and servants behind them under the gazes of many common people.
The maids and servants followed the carriage back to the General's Mansion.
When they got home, they ran into Yuan Laoer, Yuan Laosi, Ling'er, and Ye's wife. Seeing the ugly expressions of Yuan Laoer and Yuan Laosi, they knew that they had experienced the same thing as they had just experienced.
Guoan was so angry that he wanted to go to the Prime Minister's residence to poison the place, but fortunately Yuan Laoer stopped him.
Before he even stepped over the threshold, he could faintly hear the voice of Old Lady Liu cursing.
"What the hell? You're so used to being a thief that you've forgotten this was stolen! Relatives? Bullshit relatives! We don't have relatives like that who would eat people's lives!"
"It's obvious that this rumor was spread by the Prime Minister's Mansion. I knew they would be keeping a close eye on our every move since we entered the capital, but I didn't expect them to come up with something so disgusting."
Old Mrs. Shen and Old Mrs. Ye sat on the chairs, looking at each other and listening to Old Mrs. Liu scolding.
Old man Yuan was drinking tea on the side, and he looked not to be in a good mood.
They really couldn't understand why Old Lady Liu was so angry about the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Isn’t it a good thing to have relatives in the Prime Minister’s Mansion in the capital?
Why does Old Lady Liu want to kill the other person with a knife?
They don't understand and they are very confused.
When Old Lady Liu saw them, she told them that the Prime Minister's family was very bad. They had bullied their family when they were in the countryside. They had taken the clothes from her old man more than 20 years ago and had never returned them.
The middle sentence was made up by Old Lady Liu, but the first and second sentences are both true.
"More than 20 years ago, after I took my old man's clothes and went to take the imperial examination, our family has been in great trouble! Nothing has gone well for us. We've fallen down while walking on the road, and got hit on the head by a clay pot while sitting under the empty sky. All the money I had saved up with great difficulty has been gone! My old man has been injured and failed every time he took the exam!"
Old Mrs. Liu got angry when she talked about this, and the more she talked, the angrier she became and the louder her voice became.
Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Ye blinked their eyes after hearing this. Is it really that weird?
Isn't it just borrowing a piece of clothing?
Is it possible to borrow luck?
At this time, Shen Chulan came in holding Yaoyao, and Ye Wan came in with the maids and servants.
"Grandma, Grandma, Grandma Ye, Yaoyao is back." As soon as Yaoyao came in, she called out in a sweet and sweet voice. Her two little cheeks were rosy, and the four old people felt soft in their hearts when they saw her.
As soon as she saw Yaoyao, Old Lady Liu put away the anger on her face and took Yaoyao away with a smile.
"Yaoyao, do you miss grandma?"
"Yes. I miss Grandpa, Grandma, and Grandma Ye."
Yaoyao counted them one by one on her fingers.
"Wow! Yaoyao is so great. She is still thinking about grandma even when she is outside!" Old Mrs. Shen came over and kissed Yaoyao.
Old Lady Ye pinched Yaoyao's chubby little hands and said, "Look at these little hands, they are so warm. This child is strong, but her body is still hot even though it is so cold outside."
"This child has been strong since he was young and has never given me any worries." When Old Lady Liu heard their words, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.
His voice was full of boasting.
The old men played with Yaoyao for a while before looking up at the twenty or so maids and servants standing in the hall.
"Mom, these are the maids and servants selected by Yaoyao." Ye Wan said.
Old Lady Liu nodded and looked at the maids and servants specially selected by Yaoyao. At first glance, these maids and servants seemed to be honest and smart.
In the middle of winter, I was wearing a thin cotton-padded jacket, and some parts of the jacket looked bulging, as if it was stuffed with reed flowers.
They also stuffed cotton in the winter when they didn't have enough, knowing that reed flowers are not cold-resistant at all.
The hands that were exposed to the outside got frostbite and the face was dry and cracked.
The shoes on his feet were cloth shoes, and it went without saying that his heels were cracked and bleeding.
"Ye Wan, take these maids and servants downstairs to give them a hot bath, and take them to their accommodation.
Chu Lan, take Ling Er and Lao Si out to buy some thick cotton clothes and frostbite cream.
After Old Lady Liu finished instructing her two daughters-in-law, she cast her eyes on the maids and servants and said, "Since we bought you from the human traffickers, we won't treat you unfairly. As long as you work hard and don't betray your master, you can eat well, sleep well, and get your wages."
"When you have saved enough money to redeem yourselves, we will set you free."
When the maids and servants heard that Old Lady Liu was going to buy them cotton-padded clothes, they all had happy expressions on their faces. When they heard the following words, they couldn't help but think about how she would redeem herself in the future.
Standing in the hall they felt warm and not cold at all.
This winter, I felt warm for the first time.
"Thank you, old lady." The maids and servants knelt down and kowtowed to express their gratitude.
Old Lady Liu looked at them and said, "All of you, stand up. There is no rule of kneeling at every turn in the General's Mansion."
The maids and servants hurriedly stood up when they heard what Old Lady Liu said, "Yes, Madam."
"Okay, follow Madam downstairs to boil some hot water and wash yourself clean. Have a good rest today and get up to work tomorrow." said Old Lady Liu.
Ye Wan took them downstairs, and Shen Chulan and the others left the house again. This time they all wore curtain hats to cover their faces.
After watching them all leave, Old Lady Liu finally remembered the matter of the invitations and visiting cards, and she couldn't make up her mind.
She would definitely not go to the Prime Minister's Mansion. If she went there, the other party would definitely embarrass them.
Thinking of this, Old Lady Liu took the invitations and visiting cards, held Yaoyao in her arms, and went out through the back door with Old Lady Shen and Old Lady Ye to Duke Lu's Mansion.
