Upon seeing Wan Qiu, Lady An stood up with a smile and bowed to her. She called her Eldest Miss in a very respectful manner. She was wearing a pink silk jacket with a jade hairpin on her temples, looking both exquisite and gorgeous.
Wanqiu nodded slightly.”Earlier, An Wan 'er had called her Qiu' er, but now, she respectfully called her Eldest Miss. It was clear that she understood her current status. This was for the best. If a concubine who had just entered the family wanted to gain a foothold, the best way was to get strong external help…
"I'm indebted to the old lady for thinking highly of me and leaving the family affairs to me for the time being. However, I've just entered the house, so how can I go past Madam to do things? Fortunately, the old lady said that she would invite the young miss to manage it together. This way, I can be much more at ease. If there is anything inappropriate, please, young miss…"
Cho smiled." You're too polite, Aunt An. Since Grandmother has entrusted you with the family affairs, you can do whatever you want."”
" Yes, all the stewards and mothers are waiting in the main hall to listen to Eldest Miss's instructions. You see…" Aunt An's smile was very friendly and sincere.
She was only a concubine and had just entered the family. She had only been given the opportunity to be a director for half a month because the old lady valued her, and there was also Concubine Ke watching from the side.
Grandmother Qi wanted to take back some of her power through this matter, but more importantly, she wanted to show Miss Chen that no one could live the same life in the Lu Residence. If An Wan 'er did not manage it well and caused trouble, Grandmother Qi would be slapping herself. In the future, it would not be easy for her to interfere in the matters of Miss Chen. Therefore, Wanqiu nodded and did not refuse."Since that's the case, please lead the way.”
Wan Qiu walked past the dark red velvet carpet on the ground without looking sideways. She walked straight to the mahogany high-back chair in the north direction and sat down. There were already maids waiting at the side with tea trays. They quickly served tea and greeted Wan Qiu. Wan Qiu nodded slightly and looked up. She saw that the hall was densely packed with people standing below the stairs...
Everyone was stunned when they saw that Wanqiu was here. The manager Qin Zhu was a perceptive person. He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed."Greetings to Young Miss." Seeing him do this, the others also bowed down."Young Miss An."
Wan Qiu watched as these servants followed Qin Zhu into the reception hall. After tidying up their clothes, they bowed to her. "There's no need to be so polite," she said softly. Aunt An wants to see you today. I'm just here to accompany her. You don't have to pay attention to me. Just talk to her.”
At this moment, Concubine Ke also bowed to Wan Qiu. This Concubine Ke always had a dignified and steady appearance. It was really hard to tell that she was actually a servant girl. No wonder Lu Wanjing and Lu Mingqi were taught so well.
Wanqiu returned the bow to Concubine Ke. She glanced at Qin Zhu and said slowly,""Do you all know the old lady's instructions?”
Qin Zhu bowed down.”
"That's good." Wan Qiu nodded. Concubine An has just arrived at our residence, so there are many things that she doesn't know. I think with you guys around, she shouldn't have any difficulties in taking care of the affairs in the residence. Isn't that right, General Manager Qin?"
Qin Zhu and the stewards bowed and saluted.""Don't worry, Eldest Miss. We'll do our best.”
After Wan Qiu finished speaking, she didn't say anything else. She just took the tea that the servant girl served and gently sipped the tea foam.
Everyone looked at the Eldest Miss of the Lu Residence sitting at the head of the table. She spoke slowly and gently. She looked elegant and indescribable. She was gentle and amiable, but no one dared to underestimate her bearing.
Aunt An stood in the hall and smiled at everyone.""I have nothing much to do today. I just came to meet everyone and get to know each other. In the future, I will have to trouble you in many ways.”
Hearing Aunt An's words, the servants all relaxed." A new official who takes office with three fires, isn't it still those tricks? This concubine was only so weak…No one would really take it to heart.
A servant girl at the side brought a chair for Aunt An, but she automatically sat down below Wan Qiu and continued to ask,""Which one of you want to tell me what you're in charge of?”
A short, round-faced middle-aged woman in the crowd had her expression changed a few times. She stepped forward and said loudly,"YiNiang is too inconsiderate. How can you explain it in such a short time? Moreover, if it was someone from the outside who came in, they would naturally have to be questioned clearly. However, the person standing here was an old man of the Lu Residence for decades. Why did they have to do this? If there was anything that Concubine An did not understand, she could ask the old lady.”
An Wan 'er was stunned. She thought that with Wanqiu here, these people would at least be able to get by on the surface. Who knew that they would not even take the Eldest Miss of the Lu Residence seriously? She wanted to say something, but she couldn't name her mother.
" Mrs. Cai." Wan Qiu's teacup lid made a crisp sound when it touched the cup. She stopped smiling and looked at the woman who had spoken just now. Her eyes were cold and clear, and there was a faint chill in them. Mrs. Cai's forehead slowly began to sweat. She really didn't understand how a ten-year-old aunt could look so intimidating!
The hall was silent as everyone waited to see.
"According to Cai Mama, what should Aunt An do?”Wan Qiu said softly. Her tone did not seem to be angry.
Cai Mama heaved a sigh of relief and raised her head."So it turns out that Furen's housekeeper has never been so troublesome. We just have to act according to the original rules. It was originally the rules set by Madam. How could there be any mistakes? Aunt An is a new official, but there's no need to go through so much trouble. Everyone has something on their hands, so there's no need to do anything unnecessary…"
Wan Qiu glanced at Cai Mama, knowing that she was a member of the Chen family. She knew that no ordinary servant would dare to speak at this time, and even say such words that were obviously offensive and contradicting her.
Mrs. Cai was stunned when she saw Wanqiu's smile, but her heart did not calm down. Instead, she felt a little uneasy. What was Young Miss laughing about? At this moment, even if she was shrewd and didn't show her anger, she shouldn't laugh. However, she just wanted to anger Wan Qiu. It would be best if she directly dragged her out and gave her a beating. That way, she could insist that she was beaten by the Eldest Miss because she wanted to protect the Madam's rules. No matter what Wan Qiu did to her, her reputation would not be good if word got out.
