Carrying a Lucky Charm, I Thrive with My Husband on the Road to Exile Chapter 214: Practice
"Let the two girls call Young Madam," Liu Yun said, not wanting to send two elders to An Tong’s side. "Indeed, An Tong needs soone to serve her too. If you take good care of them, we certainly won’t treat you unfairly in the future."
Xu Shuanghong panicked. If arrangents were really made like this, then she...
Forcing a smile, she said to Gu Baijiang with grievance, "It seems our mother and daughter have brought you a lot of trouble. The two girls are immature, maybe I should keep them by my side and teach them more."
Gu Baijiang replied, "Speaking of upbringing, my daughter-in-law cos from the Marquis Mansion of Zhenyuan, and her manners are extrely good.
My granddaughter, since she was a child, has helped manage internal affairs and is quite famous in Shangjing. If the two girls can stay by her side, they’re fortunate and might learn sothing."
Even though Xu Shuanghong was dissatisfied, she couldn’t say much at the mont, so she could only express gratitude and said, "It’s just us three who have never seen the world, not understanding young madam’s good intentions. You two girls, quickly thank Uncle Gu."
"Thank you, Uncle Gu," the sisters stood up simultaneously, curtseying as they spoke in unison.
Gu Baijiang looked at the pair of sisters, finding them a bit dazzling, licked his lips, and then said, "We’re all family, no need for such formalities."
Thus, it was decided that Gu Antong would get the two girls as she wished.
However, her face was full of displeasure, "Mother, even if I need maids, it shouldn’t be them."
Looking so alluring, having them by my side would only be annoying, wouldn’t it?
"Silly girl, I had no choice in this matter.
These three have no room to turn back, better to suppress them than have them act superior in front of us.
Luckily, your grandfather isn’t confused and knows your importance to our family. By having this girl follow you, if she can be well-trained, she might even stay by your side in the future.
If they’re not sensible, find a reason to deal with them then.
You’ve been busy and tired these days; with soone to lend a hand, it will be easier with heavy work."
Gu Antong, "...but I still feel uncomfortable."
In the mansion before, the girls around her were carefully grood by her mother, ant to help maintain favor in the future. Those girls were trained for years and wouldn’t betray ; what a pity.
But these two new and sweet girls might have hidden motives or be planted by others, which is too risky.
"My daughter," Liu Yun lovingly caressed her face, "certain things you should start adapting to now. Compared to these two, the Third Prince’s backcourt is your true rival.
I have them stay by your side so that you can first practice by observing their little tricks and figuring out how to deal with them."
At this ti, Liu Yun realized that there was still a significant gap in her previous education for her daughter, which the two little girls just happened to fill.
Given the current status of the Gu family, even if the Third Prince gives high favor, it won’t be too elevated. An Tong would need to fight for it herself.
Coming from a large family, she knows that the difficulty of the Third Prince’s backcourt must be greater than the Marquis Mansion.
Gu Antong knew her mother wouldn’t harm her, so she held back the discomfort and nodded in agreent.
"You don’t have to fear them either. Although there’s no master-servant title, in reality, that’s what it is. Just instruct them as you did the other girls.
They rely on our family to survive; as long as you’re not too excessive, even if there are objections, they have to endure it.
Don’t be afraid of offending your grandfather; even if Mrs. Xu had an old relationship with him, how does that compare to the wealth and power he desires?"
Liu Yun didn’t understand why her father-in-law invited this trouble, but with her experience in the Gu family over the years, this matter couldn’t be simple.
Gu Antong, skilled in training others, suddenly felt confident and said, "Mother, rest assured, even if I can’t train them well, I will instill fear in them."
Mother was right, with just two girls, there was no need to treat them as great enemies.
These two girls are suitable for practice, making her survival in the Prince’s Mansion’s backcourt more poised in the future.
Understanding this, she beckoned over i Lin’s sisters, "Since you’re to learn from , let’s start with small tasks.
You probably can’t handle heavy work, so start by washing these dirty clothes.
Do you see those people over there? Those won are all washing clothes."
i Lin looked at the pile of clothes picked out, realizing they were all won’s, and couldn’t find any excuse.
i Bao, eyes twinkling, pointed at another pile of n’s clothes, "Since we’re washing, how about we wash these too?"
Gu Antong looked at her with a half-smile, "i Bao, I don’t know how your family taught you about rules before. Let explain to you about these outside n..."
Xu Shuanghong had been paying attention and saw Gu Antong reprimanding her daughter. She wanted to speak several tis but held back.
Gu Baijiang smiled and said, "I told you, staying by my granddaughter’s side, they’ll surely learn a lot.
As the children grow, they should be taught, don’t worry, my granddaughter is very asured and won’t make things difficult for them."
"I’m just worried that the two girls don’t understand the rules and would trouble Miss Gu."
"It’s nothing. I’ll check back with An Tong and tell her not to hold back and to teach them.
Even if they can’t be as outstanding as An Tong, there can be a significant improvent."
Unsure if Gu Baijiang was truly unaware or pretending, Xu Shuanghong could only force a smile and said, "That would trouble An Tong. If my two girls are unruly, I apologize in advance."
"It’s not a big deal; settle in here with us, and after the children spend ti together, they’ll get along. We might later find the adults being a nuisance."
Gu Baijiang’s words didn’t comfort Xu Shuanghong, who could only delve into conversing with him further.
Seeing her daughter temporarily control the two girls, Liu Yun imdiately picked up her husband’s and son’s clothes and smiled at i Lin’s sisters, "You’re really thoughtful, wanting to help with work upon arriving.
Co, I need to wash clothes for my husband anyway. I’ll take you with ."
Of course, it was impossible to pile all tasks on the two girls from the beginning.
i Lin and her sister could only obediently comply, carrying the clothes and preparing to leave when Xu Yulan also put down her work at hand and followed with her clothes.
"Sister-in-law, since it’s still early, let’s wash all the clothes first, then co back to cook later."
