Madam Qin called another little maid over to take Wen Muyan down to change clothes, and Wen Muyan followed the maid away. Princess Baolu quickly followed after them.
Shen Rang looked at the unusually behaving maid.
He looked sowhat confusedly at Madam Qin, "Little sister, how co I’ve never seen this maid before? And why is she so clumsy? Are both good and bad servants indiscriminately hired at your and your husband’s residence nowadays?" The big households in town hired servants after a strict screening process. If they weren’t diligent or were slow-witted, they definitely wouldn’t be selected. The Qin Residence was one of the top households in the town, so the servants in their residence were chosen with care.
Typically, it wasn’t easy for anyone to be selected to serve in their residence.
Never before had such a clumsy maid appeared in his little sister’s residence, and this was the first ti. Before Madam Qin could speak, Shen Rang added, "Little sister, that maid just now seed too clumsy to . You and your husband might as well give her so Silver and send her away early to prevent her from causing trouble later."
Shen Rang was kindly thinking on behalf of his little sister and her husband.
Madam Qin laughed.
"Third brother, don’t worry! That maid just now will leave on her own today without dismissing her." How could Princess Baolu co to the Qin Residence to work as a maid?
Madam Qin had only reluctantly agreed to let Princess Baolu act as a maid for a day at her request. The Commandery Princess’s focus was entirely on that painter Wen. Once the painter finished the portrait today, the Commandery Princess would certainly slip away. Shen Rang was unaware that the little maid just now was actually Princess Baolu, the cousin of Prince Ning. When Madam Qin spoke like that, Shen Rang thought his little sister ant to dismiss the clumsy girl as he had suggested.
Since she was rely a maid, and since his little sister agreed to dismiss her, Shen Rang had nothing more to say. At the dining table, everyone ate their als in peace. The food at Madam Qin’s place was delicious, and Su Yunjin found it particularly tasty.
Wen the painter seed to be taking a long ti to change clothes.
Quite a while had passed, yet the painter had not reappeared. Madam Qin’s third brother set down his chopsticks, having eaten his fill. The brothers from Madam Qin’s maternal family, each a shopkeeper by trade, were all in business. Shen Rang had been quite busy with business matters at hand today, but Madam Qin had personally sent soone to request his presence.
That was why Shen Rang ca to the Qin Residence. Now that he had eaten his fill, Madam Qin’s brothers had to rush off to attend to their business affairs, so they left in a hurry. Once Madam Qin’s brothers left, she casually turned to her and asked, "Mrs. Gu, it seems like you know Princess Baolu as well?" Madam Qin looked at Su Yunjin, speaking with a tone full of certainty. Ever since Princess Baolu had appeared earlier, Su Yunjin’s gaze hadn’t left her.
It was evident that Su Yunjin knew the Commandery Princess.
Su Yunjin was montarily surprised, not expecting that Madam Qin also knew Princess Baolu. Despite her surprise, after thinking it over, Su Yunjin did not conceal anything further.
"Madam Qin, to be honest with you, I do indeed know the Commandery Princess." Previously, Su Yunjin had concealed the fact that Princess Baolu liked Wen Muyan, thinking Madam Qin did not know Princess Baolu, and feeling uncomfortable sharing Princess Baolu’s personal matters with her. But now, it seed Madam Qin was acquainted with Princess Baolu as well, and Princess Baolu had even mingled with Madam Qin to beco a servant. In this light, it appeared likely Madam Qin also knew about Princess Baolu’s feelings for Wen Muyan.
