The Fourth Lady novel Chapter 35

After granny Ruo left Ning Siyao's yard, she directly headed towards the direction of Yingshuang yard. Along the way, she kept looking at the bag of gold in her hand.

This news was very quickly passed on to Qingyan.

Granny Ruo, since you want to be loyal to the second house this much, then what's the harm in granting your wish. Besides, everyone has plenty of time.

When granny Ruo entered Yingshuang yard, she saw that no one welcomed her. Putting on airs, she berated them, "A bunch of useless slaves, don't you know that you should come greet me when you see me?"

However, the servant girls all pretended to not hear her voice and continued to mind their own business with their work in hand. Unable to continue watching, granny Ruo grabbed a broom and charged out, "Did you not hear me?"

"My, I was just wondering who it was. Isn't this the long time no seen granny Ruo? What's wrong, did you finally think of the young miss now?" When Lue walked out and saw granny Ruo, she spoke out in a sarcastic tone.

Granny Ruo glanced at Lue and reached out to slap her. But just when she was about to lift her hand, she was struck. She then heard another voice chime in, "Lue, who is this old hag? Why have I never seen her before?"

Granny Ruo looked towards Qingdai in discontent, "Where did you come from, how dare you hit me, do you know who I am?"

Qingdai clearly didn't care. Holding her wrist, she looked to granny Ruo and spoke in a cold tone, "I don't care who you are, I only listen to the young miss."

Lue looked to Qingdai and recalled Qingyan's orders from earlier. She whispered in a small voice, "Qingdai, she's the miss's wet nurse granny, if the young miss finds out, she might get mad at you."

Qingdai smirked and raised her eyebrows, "Oh, I see, so it's miss's wet nurse granny. Then it really is my fault." As she said this, she picked a small rock from the ground and flicked it towards granny Ruo. "I'm just punishing a pathetic servant. She should really look at who raised her to be so pathetic like this. To go as far as to calling everyone useless slaves. The miss has always treated us servants so well."

At the same time, Su Qingyan was sitting in her room leisurely drinking her tea. The four girls at her side had their mouthes covered, holding in their laughter. Seeing them like that, Su Qingyan also laughed with them.

No matter how much granny Ruo called out from outside, she was indifferent.

Deciding that she's seen enough, she pretended to call out in discontent, "Qingdai, go see that the pig outside is slaughtered, to dare disturb my afternoon nap. I can't sleep like this."

Hearing that word, Qingdai forcefully held back her laughter. She replied in a clear voice, "Miss, it's your wet nurse granny that just returned. Just now it was this pig that was screaming out."

When Baizhi helped Qingyan open the door, she saw granny Ruo with a pigheaded expression. Seeing her like that, Qingyan had to force back her laughter. As soon as granny Ruo saw Qingyan, she immediately knelt down. She looked to Qingyan with her swelling face in discontent, "Miss, this pathetic slave is bullying me."

Qingyan glanced to Qingdai and smiled. She walked up next to Qingdai and held up her hands, "Look at these poor hands. Huangcen, quickly go fetch my jiyu ointment." She then added as she spoke to the air, "If something like this were to happen again, just let Fengqing take care of it."

Huangcen very quickly brought out the jiyu ointment. Baizhi even stood to the side with a bowl of water. Qingyan picked up the towel and lightly wiped Qingdai's hands.

Qingyan clearly knew in her heart that Qingdai's callus filled hands was the result of her many years of practice with the sword. When she confirmed that she'd cleaned the hands, Qingyan picked up the ointment and applied it evenly bit by bit on her hands. Lastly, she patted Qingdai's hands, "A girl should cherish her hands."
