Chapter 40: Evil Servant Treats Evil Servant

Grandma Gao was packing her things when she heard a knock on the door.

"Is Madam Gao here? I am here to bring you something on Madam's orders."

When Grandma Gao went to open the door, she saw Linlang standing there.

She was very surprised: "Miss Linlang? Please come in."

Linlang clapped her hands, and the servants behind her filed in, holding valuable ornaments.

Grandma Gao was flattered: "Miss Linlang, are these all given to me by the Madam?"

Linlang laughed: "Aunt Gao, Madam has said it so many times, you are now the master's concubine, you can no longer call yourself a servant, you are the master."

master...

Grandma Gao pondered for a moment, then came to her senses: "Thank you, Madam, but these are too valuable. I, I can't accept them."

"How could that be? You are the biological mother of Young Master Rong'er, and you have contributed greatly to the expansion of the Hu family. Who dares to say that you cannot accept it? Our Madam said that she must give you half of what the old lady has in her room."

After Linlang finished speaking, she motioned for the servants to leave first, and she took out a chess manual from her sleeve and handed it over.

"Madam Gao, this is something our mistress specifically asked me to give you. The old master likes to play chess, but there are not many people in the mansion who are proficient in chess. If you don't know how to get along with the old master, why not take a look at this book?"

Grandma Gao was shocked and refused twice before accepting it.

Linlang's smile deepened, and she lowered her voice and reminded him.

"But Aunt Gao, I heard that the old lady arranged for Nanny An to serve you. Nanny An doesn't seem to be easy to get along with. The lady said that if you encounter difficulties, go to her and she will definitely not sit idly by."

Grandma Gao's eyes shone: "I understand. Thank you, Miss Linlang. Please also tell my wife a good message for me."

Linlang nodded and turned to leave.

After a while, two more maids came, saying that they were transferred from the mansion to serve Grandma Gao in accordance with the aunt's rules.

One of the two maids was responsible for massaging the shoulders, while the other was responsible for massaging the legs.

Grandma Gao no longer has to do things she used to do herself. She only needs to speak and someone will naturally do her bidding.

She began to feel that being a master was more comfortable than being a servant!

Grandma Gao took out the chess book and opened it to take a look.

She was illiterate, but she didn't expect that the book Chen Qingyin gave her was so amazing.

There is not a single word in the whole book, but every page uses pictures to explain how to play chess.

When Grandma Gao saw it, she was fascinated.

Linlang returned to Chen Qingyin and told her truthfully about Grandma Gao's reaction.

At this time, it was already noon and Hu Mianmian was sleeping soundly in the inner room.

Chen Qingyin leaned on the beauty couch, her slightly drooped eyebrows were breathtakingly beautiful, but concealed a frosty coldness.

Linlang: "Granny Gao didn't realize that we sent Nanny An. In fact, the two maids who went later were arranged by the old lady. But Nanny Gao will definitely suspect that it was the old lady's idea to send Nanny An there."

Chen Qingyin sneered: "Did you give her the chess manual I asked you to give her?"

"She gave it to me, but Grandma Gao didn't show any particular joy. Madam, do you think she would really argue with the old lady? After all, the old man... is half buried in the ground!"

It's so old, even if I gave it to Linlang, she wouldn't want it.

Chen Qingyin's black hair was like clouds, falling around her slender white neck, making her look particularly peaceful and beautiful.

She said calmly, "She will fight for it. Once someone who has always been at the bottom of society has tasted the sweetness of power, she will never give up again."

Chen Qingyin asked again: "By the way, I asked you to find out about the young master of the Minister of Revenue. Have you found out?"

Linlang nodded: "I heard that the young master has a habit of going to Jingxin Temple every ten days to burn incense and worship Buddha, and stay there for half a day."

Chen Qingyin was puzzled: "Jingxin Temple? That's a temple, what is he doing there?"

Linlang lowered her voice, fearing that Hu Mianmian who was sleeping inside would hear it.

"Of course he did that. I heard that he kept a concubine in the nunnery. Because he was a bastard, he didn't dare to bring her back, so he used the nunnery to hide his tracks."

Chen Qingyin seemed to be thinking about something. After a moment's silence, he said, "I'll take Hu Lan for a walk when I get a chance."

Linlang understood what she meant and nodded: "I will arrange it."

There were intertwined shadows in the room. Chen Qingyin's beautiful face was as gentle and graceful as a Bodhisattva, but her heart of thunder had just awakened.

She not only wants to deal with Old Madam Hu, her target is the entire Hu family.

Just wait and see how this family teamed up to bully her!

*

Since moving to his new home, Hu Yunshen has made many connections in the court.

I go out for social events every day, and it feels like I'm living a life of drunkenness and dreams.

As a result, Old Madam Hu also gained more friends. Those old ladies from prominent families often invited her to play mahjong.

The entire Hu family seemed to be proud. Old Madam Hu usually walked with her head held high.

That day, Mr. Hu entered his study.

But he saw a "maid" wearing pink clothes and with neatly combed hair, cleaning the bookshelf behind his back.

Mr. Hu was stunned: "Who are you?"

The person turned around and it turned out to be Grandma Gao who had dressed up.

Mr. Hu was shocked. This Madam Gao was in her forties and usually wore dark-colored robes, but she still had a charming appearance.

Grandma Gao had a thin frame and dressed up specially, with a light amount of rouge on her face. With a little make-up, she looked much better than Madam Hu.

Mr. Hu asked, "Mrs. Gao...Mrs. Gao, why are you here?"

Grandma Gao was a little embarrassed: "I just coaxed Master Ronger to sleep, and I have nothing to do for a while. The old lady went out to play cards again, so I wanted to clean the study, but I didn't expect the master to come back. I'm leaving now."

But Mr. Hu stopped her and said, "Since you are here, just help me pour tea and serve me."

"Yes." Grandma Gao was secretly delighted.

As expected, Mr. Hu took out the chessboard and was planning to play chess with himself to relieve his boredom.

But after looking at it for a while, Grandma Gao suddenly pointed at one of the spots and said, "If this black piece landed in the same spot just now, we would have won."

Mr. Hu was surprised: "You can play chess?"

Grandma Gao lowered her head shyly: "I know a little, but I am not as good as you, so I dare not show off my skills in front of you."

Mr. Hu quickly grabbed her hand and said, "Come on, come on, sit across from me, and let's play a few games."

Grandma Gao stayed there for the entire afternoon before returning to her room.

Nanny An was sitting at the door eating melon seeds when she saw Nanny Gao come back with a blushing face and a string of sandalwood beads in her hand.

She recognized it immediately.

This is the string of beads in Mr. Hu's hand that brings peace and longevity!

Looking at the amorous look on Gao Ma's face, she must have just come out of Master Hu's room!

An Ma was jealous and crazy. They were both maids, so why was Gao Ma so lucky to be the master?

"Oh! Aunt Gao, you are so arrogant now that you even dare to take the old master's things?" An Ma said sarcastically.

She is Liang Yunyan's person and now works under the old lady, so she is not afraid of offending Grandma Gao at all.

Grandma Gao's face changed and she hid the beads behind her.

"Madame An, just take care of your own business and don't worry about me."

Unexpectedly, Nanny An spat out the melon seed shells and stopped her directly.

"How can I not care? I heard that the Madam has been very nice to you recently. I'm telling you, if you don't give me this bead, I will report your affairs to the Madam!"

Grandma Gao was instantly frightened.

She didn't have the courage to argue with the old lady.

"Here you go, here you go!" Mammy Gao hastily stuffed the beads into Mammy An's hand, stamping her feet and saying, "I'm really scared of you!"

As she said this, she entered the house and slammed the door.

Nanny An held up the beads, looked at them in the sunlight, and smiled triumphantly.

"Can it be sold for a lot of silver?"
