After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

Chapter 22: Bullying the superiors and concealing the truth from the inferiors

"Manager Wang?"

Madam Deng heard the voice sound familiar, so she lifted the curtain and looked outside. It was indeed the steward Wang from the outer courtyard who had the final say.

Suddenly, she was puzzled. How come so many things happened in the mansion just when she went out to deliver a invitation?

She and Steward Wang were of the same rank, one in charge of the outer courtyard and the other in charge of the inner courtyard, with clear distinctions. In the eyes of Madam Deng, Steward Wang was a very arrogant person, and he was neither humble nor arrogant when he saw her.

In the ten years since His Highness established his mansion, she had never seen Steward Wang in such a state of distress.

Qin Yaoguang touched Lao Wu's head, put him down from his knees, and said, "Your second brother is waiting for you outside, go back."

"Is the second brother back?"

The fifth brother raised his head in surprise, looked up at Qin Yaoguang and asked, "Mother, I didn't even hear my second brother's voice, how did you know?"

Qin Yaoguang smiled and thought: I don't know what Lao Er is thinking about her after this trip, so he will not come in if he can. But he must be worried about Xiao Wu, so he must be waiting outside.

"My guess."

She pretended to be profound, bent down and looked into Lao Wu's eyes and said, "How about I make a bet with you? See if your second brother is outside."

The fifth child blinked his eyes, and suddenly shook his head like a rattle, and said crisply: "Fourth sister said that those who gamble are bad people, I believe mother!"

As he said this, he took two steps back and kowtowed on the ground: "Mother, my son is back."

The little child kowtowed so skillfully that Qin Yaoguang didn't have time to stop him.

Forget it, take your time.

Qin Yaoguang told himself again: There's no rush.

"On Bailu and Guyu, send Xiaowu back." she ordered.

Bai Lu agreed and packed the bottle of rose water that Lao Wu had drunk, his favorite Poria cocos cake, and some miscellaneous food into a food box. Gu Yu called two little maids, took the ready-made clothes she had prepared for the other three children in Zhu Feng Courtyard, and went out together.

Soon, the fifth brother's cheering voice came from outside the door: "Second brother, you are really waiting for me outside! Mother didn't lie."

The child's voice gradually faded away, and Qin Yaoguang suppressed her smile and sat back on the couch, as if there was no such person as Manager Wang outside.

When Nanny Deng saw this, she knew that Steward Wang must have violated his master's taboo.

Qin Yaoguang raised her eyelids and said calmly, "Go, call Zhou Qinghe over."

She wanted to see whether Zhou Qinghe's aura as the protagonist could still play a role when encountering such a thing.

"Your Highness, please take a rest first."

Although Nanny Deng didn't know what had happened exactly, seeing Qin Yaoguang like this, she was worried that she was upset. She brought a pillow for her to lean on and a silk quilt to cover her knees.

Qin Yaoguang held her hand and said weakly, "Madam, you don't know that Zhou Qinghe is so young and has so many thoughts. She even hooked up with Steward Wang and secretly took out the things from Chuntang Garden to sell."

"Fortunately, Lao Er's heart is with me. He just told me that he saw Da Zhu take the Jade Cup from Chun Tang Garden with his own eyes." She paused, "This is known, but who knows how many more there are who don't know?"

"How dare they!" Madam Deng was furious when she heard this. "Under the master's nose, how dare they deceive their superiors and collude with each other? If it weren't for your care, Your Highness, how could the mother and daughter be where they are today? Your kindness to them is in vain."

When Qin Yaoguang heard Nanny Deng feeling angry for her, she knew that her goal had been achieved. She covered her mouth with her hand and pretended to yawn, but in fact she was hiding a smile on her lips.

"Mammy, I'm tired. I need to take a nap."

"Your Highness, just take a rest. With this old servant here, no one dares to disturb you."

As Madam Deng spoke, she took out a stick of incense to calm the spirit and lit it. She then motioned Chunfen to stand guard outside the room and instructed, "Whoever comes, just tell them that His Highness is resting and ask them to wait."

She knew that Xiao's mother and daughter would be here soon, but she still gave such an order. She was actually speaking up for her master.

After saying this, seeing that Qin Yaoguang was still resting with her eyes closed, he knew that she had tacitly agreed, and then he nodded to Chunfen.

Chunfen tiptoed out and stood guard at the porch.

Among Qin Yaoguang's four personal maids, Shuangjiang spends more time in the accounting office than with her, Bailu and Guyu serve her on a daily basis, and when they are not around, Chunfen will come forward to wait for errands.

Manager Wang was kneeling under the porch, and Chunfen didn't dare to look at him for long.

With her status, although she was not afraid of Steward Wang, she did not want to offend such a person for no reason. Even if he was punished, he had been running the Princess's Mansion for many years after all.

Chunfen didn't want to cause trouble for himself, and was thinking about Bailu and Guyu who were ordered to go to Zhufeng Courtyard.

Today, both of them received rewards from their master. Wouldn't that make her jealous?

The two people whom she envied were now following the second and fifth brothers, leading several servants holding food boxes and clothes, towards Zhufeng Courtyard.

The second child led the fifth child and walked very fast, almost running.

The two followed closely for a while, and saw them turn a corner and take a shortcut. Bai Lu whispered to Gu Yu, "The Second Young Master doesn't want us to follow him, so why don't we walk slowly? At least we just need to deliver the things."

Guyu said "hmm", and seeing that the servants following behind were also some distance away, he couldn't help but ask quietly: "Bai Lu, is our master serious this time?"

She didn't dare to criticize her master and asked very obscurely.

Guyu asked this because Qin Yaoguang's behavior was too abnormal. Not only was he kind and generous to them, but he also took Lao Wu to Huamu Hall for a bath and gave him many gifts.

In the past, the original owner sometimes had good moods, but he would return to his old ways after a while and treat his subordinates even more harshly.

Bai Lu was startled, and looked around cautiously before she spoke in a soft and urgent voice: "Why are you saying this? Is it our place to discuss what the master is thinking? Whatever ideas you have, just keep them to yourself!"

"Isn't it good to live a good life? Think about the reward you just received! We only need to obey His Highness' orders. Any more thoughts would be an act of usurpation."

Among the four personal maids, Bai Lu was the leader because she was calm and steady and a little older. She admonished them, "If you have other thoughts that you shouldn't have and get into trouble in the future, don't say I didn't save you."

Guyu was startled and responded immediately. She touched the red agate bracelet in her arms and said, "I understand, thank you for your teaching."

Seeing that she had figured it out, Bai Lu smiled, pulled up her sleeves slightly, revealing the Liuyun Baifu gold bracelet on half of her wrist, and said with relief: "With this, my mother doesn't have to do laundry for others this winter."

Guyu knew her family situation and sighed secretly. Just as he was about to say something, he arrived at the gate of Zhufeng Courtyard.

Inside, there was a lot of noise.

“Stop! I told you to stop, didn’t you hear me?!” The boss was so angry that his eyes turned red as he protected a wet servant.

A fat man who looked like a manager said sarcastically, "Master, do you really think that we call you Master and that you think you are a big shot? We are just teaching a servant a lesson. Be careful that we don't slip and hurt you by accident."
