The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 55: Spring grooming

Fortunately, we haven't gotten engaged yet and there is still room to turn around.

Manager Ye entered the inner courtyard today and went to the Changchun Courtyard to ask to see the old lady. If she guessed correctly, she must have come to discuss with the old lady the date of engagement between her and her eldest son, as well as the subsequent marriage arrangements.

If she didn't kneel down and tell the old lady about the filthiness, it would be too late.

Guanshi Ye waited in the yard for a while, only to wait until the little maid came back and said that the old lady hadn't seen him and told him to come back another day.

He thought and thought, feeling strange.

The old lady really doesn't want to see him, he can't enter this inner house, not to mention that Shangchun is negotiating marriage with his eldest son, the old lady and Shangchun both nodded, and he has already stated that he wants Shangchun to marry into his Ye family as soon as possible , the old lady agreed a few days ago, why don't you want to see him now?

He is also a foreign steward who has been running the outer courtyard for half his life. Whether it is experience in work or worldliness, Steward Ye is a good player. He immediately took out a few pieces of silver and quietly handed it to the little maid.

The little maid didn't know why, so she looked up at him.

He asked in a low voice: "I wonder why the old lady doesn't see me?"

The little maid didn't know what was going on in Old Madam Meng's mind, she was just a third-class maid who just passed on the news, but seeing the silver in her hand, she told what she saw when she went to pass it on: " Sister Shangchun is kneeling in front of the old lady."

One sentence, just one sentence, Guanshi Ye didn't ask any more questions, and quickly left the Changchun Courtyard.

In the upper room, after listening to Shangchun's report, Mrs. Meng murmured, "Is it all true?"

"My servant dare not lie to the old lady." Shang Chun knelt straight, "Before this, my servant has verified it quietly."

She also thought that maybe Guanshi Ye's eldest son was really a good man. If he was really a good man, it wouldn't be surprising that other maids would be happy with him. Knowing that she and he were getting engaged, it wouldn't be surprising to resort to tricks to rob her. Impossible, so she didn't act recklessly after learning about it. Instead, she asked Shangqiu, who often went to the outer courtyard, to help, and conducted a secret investigation, and then she learned his true face.

And he was able to hide it so thoroughly, and he was able to hide it from the old lady, and let the old lady order someone to check his character first, and he came to the conclusion that his character is good and can be entrusted to him for life. a good father.

Guanshi Ye has been working in the outer courtyard for more than ten years, and his roots are deep. After learning that the old lady is going to choose a husband for her, and his son is also among the candidates, he started to operate, using bribes, threats, and threats. On the other hand, he arbitrarily covered up the eldest son's true corrupt virtues.

If Shangqiu hadn't been the person in front of the old lady like her, the servants in the outer courtyard would not have dared to say a word if asked by Shangqiu.

With the half clue revealed quietly, Shangqiu went back to the backyard to talk to her, and she was sure that the affair was indeed true.

Afterwards, she went to the outer courtyard to inquire secretly. Fortunately, her popularity was not bad, and she had the support of an old lady, so she was able to see the ugliness that was covered up through the wall built by Guanshi Ye.

"Since that's the case, what are your plans?" The confidant maid who is by her side, the old lady Meng, is very sure of Shangchun's ability, and even more sure of Shangchun's character. .

Before that, she thought that Shangchun is the first of the four rewards, and she must marry well, otherwise there will be three rewards below, and when they are about to get married, if Shangchun does not marry well, it will be a waste of their loyal service to her.

So it is very troublesome.

Unexpectedly, Shangchun's marriage was also not going well, and among the few people she was looking at, Shangchun couldn't match her. The only eldest son of Ye Guanshi who made Shangchun nod, did such shameless things again.

Before Shangchun met Ye Guanshi's eldest son, he already had his own ideas. After seeing him and confirming that Ye Guanshi's eldest son is not a good man, his previous ideas became stronger.

But when she was really asked by Mrs. Meng, she hesitated again: "Old lady..."

"Let's talk about it, it's your own lifelong event, how you live it is up to you." What Mrs. Meng said was not an excuse, but she sincerely wanted Shangchun to decide for herself.

"After all these twists and turns, I want to..." Shangchun didn't want to miss this opportunity. She thought about it again and again, and felt that no matter whether she could get her wish, she had to give it a try, so she mustered up the courage to say, "I want to groom myself, but I don't want to get married. .”

Old Mrs. Meng didn't expect that Shangchun would have such thoughts: "You...are you serious?"

Shangchun kowtowed three times in a row: "The servant is telling the truth, please let the old lady do it! The servant is willing to serve the old lady for the rest of his life, please let the servant stay!"

"You have really made up your mind, and I will naturally fulfill you." The old lady Meng turned around and said, "But you can't stay in the Changchun Courtyard forever. I am old, and after I go, how will you deal with yourself? Even if there are other arrangements, I'm afraid it's far worse than it is now."

"Old lady?" Shangchun looked at Old Madam Meng in astonishment. She didn't understand. The old lady had promised her, but she didn't want to keep her in Changchun Courtyard?

"Although you are young, your ability is not bad, and your courage and insight are not inferior to ordinary noble girls. It is not an exaggeration to say that you are the vice-missary of the Changchun Courtyard with Shangxia, Autumn, and Winter." Suddenly she heard the wish of Shangchun to comb herself, and in an instant she thought of a solution, which could not only fulfill the wish of Shangchun, but also solve the urgent need of a mother in charge of Taichenyuan, "So, after you comb yourself , I will go to Taichen Courtyard to be a housekeeper, I think you are qualified for the job, and Yaoyao is familiar with you, so I won’t disagree."

Shangchun had this idea a long time ago, but because of his young age and lack of qualifications, he didn't dare to say it even if he wanted to be a steward of Taichen Academy.

This arrangement was exactly what she wanted, and she thanked her in surprise: "My servant, thank the old lady for her success! This servant will definitely not let the old lady down, and I will definitely work hard in front of the eldest lady!"

"Yes." Old Mrs. Meng certainly had her own selfish reasons for making this arrangement, but there is no need to say too much right now, and we will talk about it after Shang Chun arrives at Taichen Courtyard.

In less than a day, the news that Meng Shisan had moved back to Taichen Courtyard spread throughout the Meng Mansion.

On the next day, the news spread to every corner of the Meng family that she was combing herself in the spring, never getting married, and no longer waiting in front of the old lady. Instead, she was transferred to the Taichen Courtyard as a housekeeper.

When Manager Ye heard this, he was not surprised. He had expected it since Mrs. Meng didn't see him that day. However, the eldest son, Fan Lun, was very angry and said that it was all the fault of the maid from the outer courtyard who deliberately aborted the baby.

Seeing that the eldest son wanted to beat and scold the servant girl in the outer courtyard, he pulled the eldest son back, and raised his hand to slap him.

"Father?" Impeller was confused by Manager Ye.

"Where will Shangchun work in the future?" Ye Guanshi asked bitterly.

Ye Lun covered his cheeks and replied blankly: "Taichenyuan."

"In front of whom?"

"In front of the eldest lady."
