The moon falling to the ground

Chapter 141 The Lowest Servant

Yan Xinning probably left in a hurry, and didn't take away any valuable ornaments in the house. Apart from other things, there were seven or eight jade flower pots and fish tanks. It must be said that Yan Xiuyuan really loved her.

I just don’t know how much of this love still remains after he finds out she is a fake daughter.

Jian Yue asked Fuyun and Muxiang to register all the valuable things in the house.

After a while, a group of people rushed into Xuexiangyuan.

Madam Liang introduced Jian Yue: "Madam Wu teaches Miss etiquette and rules. Madam Xia is the manager of Miss's courtyard. Miss is equipped with four big maids: Xiaoqing, Xiaoyun, Xiaoyue, and Xiaohe. In addition, there are two maids Xiaohua and Xiaoye who clean the house."

Ha! Listen to this name, there is another person with the same name as her. If it wasn't intentional, she would have twisted her head off and used it as a stool.

Jian Yue looked at the maids and servants. Their skin was dark and rough, and their knuckles were thick. It was obvious that they had been doing rough work for many years. Moreover, some of them were not well behaved and looked around.

Jane Yue smiled.

It's really hard for Nanny Liang to find such a group of people.

She held out her hand: "Indenture."

"Ah?" Nanny Liang thought she would find fault and was already thinking of excuses in her mind, but she didn't expect her to accept it so easily.

"If you don't give me the indentures of these people, none of them will be able to enter the yard."

Madam Liang smiled kindly: "The eldest lady is the master of this courtyard. If anyone doesn't serve well, the lady doesn't need to do anything, the lady will handle it herself."

Jian Yue sneered: "Madam Liang, you think I'm from the countryside and I don't know anything, right?" Her face darkened, "If you don't want to sell your body, stop talking nonsense here, get out!"

Nanny Liang looked ugly, as if she had been slapped in the face.

She was the most popular nanny in front of Xie Chujiao. Even when Yan Xinning was around, she was always polite to her. She didn't expect that this cheap girl with a smell of mud on her body would dare to insult her in public.

Wait! You will be in trouble!

Numerous thoughts of punishing Jian Yue flashed through Liang Ma's mind, but her face looked aggrieved. She sighed in embarrassment: "Since the young lady is so stubborn, I will go and ask Madam for instructions!"

"Oh! Who is Madam Liang talking to? No wonder the people below don't know the rules. It turns out that even Madam Liang can't tell the difference between superiors and inferiors."

Nanny Liang's face turned as red as liver. She glared at Jian Yue viciously, then turned and left.

Jian Yue asked Mu Xiang to bring a chair for her to sit down. She looked at the eight people who were anxious and pointed at the maid in the front: "Madame Wu, right? Let's start with you. Tell me what you used to do."

When Mrs. Wu was called, she straightened her chest, raised her chin, and tried to make herself look more imposing: "I... this old servant used to teach etiquette to the young ladies at the old house."

Jian Yue looked at her nails and said calmly: "Tell the truth."

Mrs. Wu felt uneasy, sweat broke out on her forehead, and her eyes flickered: "This old slave is really in the old house..."

"Tell the truth!" Jian Yue glared at Mrs. Wu. "Do all the nannies in wealthy families wear linen clothes? You have thick knuckles, wrinkled clothes, and grass scraps on them. You just came out of the kitchen, right? Can you teach others etiquette? Have you learned your own etiquette well?"

Mrs. Wu blushed and shrank her neck, not daring to speak any more.

Jian Yue's face was as cold as frost, and she said coldly: "To be honest, I don't blame you. After all, you were also forced. But if you enter my courtyard and still want to deceive, don't blame me for being cruel. Whoever dares to go against me will end up like Rong Mama."

thump!

Old Wife Wu was so frightened that her legs went limp and she knelt down, her voice trembling: "Forgive me, young lady. I am a kitchen maid. Yes, it was Madam Liang who asked me to come here to be your nanny. But, but I don't know how to do anything! I don't want to be a nanny, but Madam Liang said she would beat me to death if I didn't cooperate. Woo woo..."

Mrs. Wu burst into tears.

Who wouldn't be scared when seeing Rong Mama like that? A very wealthy person turned into a bone-dead old lady, which is really creepy.

Jian Yue glanced at Mrs. Xia.

Mrs. Xia knelt down and said, "Miss, I am a maid in the laundry room. I can't read and I have never been a manager."

When the other maids saw that the two maids had explained, they all knelt down to explain. They were either sweeping the outer courtyard, washing vegetables in the kitchen, or cleaning the toilet. In short, they were all the lowest-ranking maids.

Jian Yue laughed angrily.

You want to humiliate her in this way. Is she the kind of person who won't say anything when she suffers a loss?

About half an hour later, Madam Liang came with a few pieces of paper: "Miss, I have brought their indentures."

Seeing Jian Yue nod, Muxiang took it and handed it to Jian Yue.

Jian Yue looked at the indentures one by one. There was nothing wrong with them. She put them in her backpack and began to instruct the new servants: "Clean up the yard. Madam Liang, if the items on the list are not delivered within one stick of incense, I will ask my father for them. If anyone dares to deduct money from me in terms of food, clothing and daily expenses in the future, I will go to the gate and make a fuss."

Madam Liang was like an swollen toad, biting her back teeth and saying, "Look at what the young lady said. You are the daughter of the mansion master, and you are of noble status. Who dares to wrong you? I will go and urge them now."

Nanny Liang left angrily.

Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Xia, along with six maids, quickly packed up the things that Jian Yue had left in the yard.

Not long after we finished cleaning up here, Butler Yan came with people to deliver some things.

Things like the bedding and boxes on the bed, the low couch, and the tea sets on the table were all arranged personally by Fuyun and Muxiang.

Butler Yan said to Jian Yue, "The master has already told me in advance that if the young lady needs anything, just tell me."

Jian Yue nodded: "I will definitely trouble Uncle Yan in the future. Thank you in advance." After that, she asked Muxiang to give ten taels of silver to Butler Yan.

Butler Yan declined at first, but finally accepted it.

Jian Yue asked: "Mr. Yan, how much is my monthly allowance?"

Housekeeper Yan: "The young lady's monthly allowance is twenty taels of silver."

"How long has Yan Xinning been in the mansion?"

Butler Yan was a little embarrassed: "Yes, it's thirty taels."

Jian Yue raised her eyebrows: "It seems that I, the real daughter, am not as important as the fake daughter."

Butler Yan's face felt hot.

This was decided by the mistress of the house, and there was nothing he could do. Originally, I thought Jian Yue came from the countryside and would not think about this problem, but I didn't expect that this matter would be brought up as soon as she entered the mansion.

"I have another question. I have been away from home for fourteen years. Should I be given the monthly allowance owed to me for these years?"

"This..." Can it be done this way?

Butler Yan frowned and said, "Miss, I can't make the decision on this matter. I have to ask Madam for permission."

Jian Yue smiled and looked at Butler Yan: "Why don't you ask father for permission? The mistress of the house won't give it to me. After all, she doesn't like me."

In this case, Butler Yan...
