Chapter 34 Rumors

Lampey walked over, and the little maids were so scared that they were about to part.

"Stop." Lampelli shouted.

She is the second-class maid next to the second lady. Who is not afraid of her?

In Yongning Hou Mansion, the young ladies and young men are the highest-ranking maids, and only the ladies are qualified to use first-class maids.

"What are you chewing?" Lampey asked coldly, "Let me explain clearly what anyone said and what he said. Otherwise, all four of you will be beaten thirty boards and sell them to the brothel."

The little maids were so scared that they all knelt down for Lampe.

They began to pick themselves, betray their companions, and told Lampe what they said.

After hearing this, Lampe looked particularly ugly.

"...It was what the servants at the corner gate said, it was not our messenger." The little maid cried, "Everyone is saying that it's not just us. Sister, please spare your life."

My sister is not available to take their lives, so I am afraid that my sister will be unable to protect herself.

I went back to the second lady. In a rage, I still couldn't give her a few words?

Lampey hurriedly left.

When Xue Yutan arrived at Yutangyuan today, he found that the maids had a strange attitude.

It seemed that everyone was holding back something and didn't dare to tell her, and secretly sympathized with her.

Xue Yutan remembered the little maids gathered together and muttered, and felt even more puzzled. She felt a little annoyed.

He lifted the curtain and entered the old lady's bedroom. The old lady had just gotten up and the maid combed her hair.

Xue Yutan walked over and took the comb from the maid's hand: "Grandma, I'll comb your hair."

She has a pair of skilled hands and combs her hair even better than a maid.

Xue Yutan also got several secret recipes for maintaining his hair and used it for the old lady. At this age, the old lady's hair is still very thick and not much white.

The old lady is 64 years old this year. At her age, many people have turned white, but she is still a little black in hair, which makes her feel very proud.

When combing his hair, the maid outside had already prepared food.

After combing it, the old lady looked at it and was very satisfied: "Your hands are so clever."

"It is a granddaughter's honor to be able to serve my grandmother." Xue Yutan said, and then acted coquettishly with the old lady, "Grandmother, do you have chicken porridge in the morning? My granddaughter craved this."

The old lady was very happy and thought her granddaughter was sensible and cute.

"Yes, I'll have someone to support you." The old lady smiled.

Their grandparents and grandchildren talked and laughed, and went to the side for breakfast.

The old lady has four first-class maids around her, with noble status, and Xue Yutan also wants to call them "sister".

Now, there are two people muttering, carrying the old lady on their backs.

Xue Yutan remembered the little maids he had met before.

"Is something wrong in the mansion?" Xue Yutan thought.

She didn't ask, "The old lady didn't like girls, she had to be steady and ask after she went back."

After their grandparents and grandchildren finished their breakfast, several ladies and daughters came over to sit, except for the eldest lady and the eldest lady.

The eldest lady wanted to worship Buddha, but the old lady spared her customary rituals; the eldest lady was the old lady who refused to let her come.

Several people openly whispered to each other.

Xue Yutan's brow frowned and he was a little irritated. What's going on with you today?

If they have something fresh and interesting, they can't wait to tell their grandmother that they don't hide it and discuss it privately like they are now.

Unless, they were talking about the second lady Xue Yutan, for fear of making the old lady and the second lady unhappy.

Xue Yutan remembered the four little maids again.

"Sister Four, what are you talking about?" Xue Yutan saw that the third sister and the fourth sister were still talking in a low voice, and couldn't help but interrupt them and shouted.

The fourth lady was stunned.

The fourth lady is named Xue Qin, who is thirteen years old this year and is the daughter of the third wife, Fahrenheit.

Because the Xue family was the head of the third wife, the children born by the third wife were second only to the second lady in the mansion. After all, the second lady has two backers, Marquis and Old Lady, and they cannot compare to them.

The fourth lady Xue Qin is a little weird. She is not very close to the second lady and is unwilling to come to her grandmother.

When Xue Qin heard her question, she immediately asked for an answer.

The third lady coughed heavily.

The old lady heard it and was confused, so she said: "What, what can't be said?"

Because the third wife was born in a business, she always seemed to be shorter in front of the old lady and was very respectful to her mother-in-law: "Mother, it's Qin'er and Xier who plan to raise a dog..."

The third lady Xue Xi is also a child of the third bedroom. She is fifteen years old and is the concubine of the third bedroom.

However, the aunt who gave birth to her died very early. She has been growing up in front of the third lady and has a good relationship with the fourth lady. The third lady likes her very much and educates her to be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is not inferior to the legitimate lady.

Xue Xi was relatively steady and knew what her mother meant. She answered first: "Yes, grandmother, my fourth sister and I plan to raise a dog to play with. We are trying to raise something."

"No!" The fourth lady Xue Qin poked her mother and third sister into the water with one stroke, and said loudly, "We heard some gossip."

"What gossip?"

"Everyone is saying that our second sister is a widow at home." said the fourth lady.

The old lady was stunned.

Xue Yutan's heart also jumped suddenly.

However, she soon discovered something was wrong, because everyone in the room, except for her grandmother, did not show any surprise.

In other words, they all heard about it.

"Where did this kind of gossip come from?" The old lady was a little unhappy and didn't take it much to heart.

Doesn’t anyone know whether the second lady of the Xue family got married?

"Who knows, it was reported from outside anyway. The outsider said that the old lady of the Wen family celebrated her birthday and invited the female relatives of the Yongning Marquis' Mansion, as long as the unmarried girls, did not have a separate invitation and were taken by the elders.

However, our second sister has one. The second sister has been married and is a widow, which is different from us. Otherwise, the second sister has not been engaged even when she was eighteen years old." said the fourth lady.

The fourth lady doesn’t like her second sister very much. Maybe it’s because her second sister is too popular at home and is still a illegitimate child. The fourth lady can’t stand her.

She gloated and shook the second lady's gossip.

The second lady changed her face in anger.

The old lady didn't take it seriously, but the second lady knew that the matter was serious.

People's words are terrifying. Who knows whether these gossips will bring her any harm in the future?

"Who told me?" The second lady was stern, and her demeanor was full of majesty at this moment.

The fourth lady was still a little afraid of her and shrank her shoulders: "How can I know? Mother..."

Now I know I call you mother!

The third lady was about to be angry to death by her daughter.

He insisted on provoking Xue Yutan, but he was not able to take it against her.

"Yutan, don't be angry, it's just a few gossips outside." said the third lady.

Xue Yutan had a blue face: "How can the girl's family in the Hou Mansion be slandered like this? Grandmother, I have to report to the official and ask the official to check who was throwing dirty water on the Hou Mansion behind her back."

Seeing that she was annoyed, the old lady was cautious and nodded: "Come here, go and report to Jingzhao Mansion. How can we allow this kind of humiliation from our dignified Marquis' Mansion?"

The maid left.

The fourth lady was very dissatisfied and wanted to say: "Others are throwing dirty water on her, not on the Marquis' Mansion. Why is her face just because of her face?

What is she?"

However, the second lady is the daughter of the Marquis. Even if she is a concubine's daughter, the fourth lady dare not provoke her.
