Chapter 266 Trivia
Feng Yan has always been a considerate person.
The selected courtyard was not far from the Fan family, and the location was excellent. It was convenient for Chu Ci and his wife to check the cleaning status of the Fan family's house at any time, but they would not be too close to be affected by the noise.
During this period, Feng Yan's housekeeper acted very efficiently. Not only did he arrange all matters in an orderly manner, he also sent people to safely pick up Taoist Yunshang, Qianxue, and Qianyan who were already in the inn.
Chu Ci couldn't help but sigh: "As expected of a housekeeper trained by the head of the family, he is very thoughtful and considerate in everything he does."
Thinking of this, Chu Ci couldn't help but recall that before the Fan family faced the misfortune of having their property confiscated and exiled, they released a lot of people in order to leave a way for their servants to survive.
He had a plan in mind, but Chu Ci knew very little about the Fan family, so he didn't propose it rashly.
But what they didn’t expect was that the next day, Chu Ci and his party opened the door of the Fan family not long after.
Many servants who had been released from the Fan family and left behind in the capital were actually found back.
An old maid in the lead held the hand of a young servant beside her, her eyes tearing up and her voice trembling as she said, "Sir, it's really you."
"I am looking forward to the return of the Fan family day and night. These days, I pray every day that the Fan family can see the light of day again. I dream of returning to serve the Fan family again!"
"Xiao Wu, come quickly and meet the Master!"
Although her words were sincere, there was only Fan Jingrui in her eyes, as if she, Qianxue and Qianyan were transparent and she completely ignored them.
So Chu Ci quietly turned his head to look at Qianxue, lowered his voice and asked, "Which room is this maid from? Why is she so ignorant? She doesn't care about the other people present at all."
Qianxue and Qianyan's faces didn't look very good at this time either.
Qianxue frowned and said angrily, "She is from grandma's courtyard, and she favors boys over girls the most. She usually tries to please the young masters in the mansion, but she treats us young ladies differently, speaking coldly and making things difficult for us."
Chu Ci was filled with surprise and couldn't help but blurt out: "Grandma? Wasn't she the one who paid the most attention to rules before? How could she allow the maids in the courtyard to act like this?"
When Qianxue heard Chu Ci's question, she seemed to be back to the days when she was manipulated by Wang Pozi. Her face was full of resentment: "But Wang Pozi didn't break the rules of the Fan family! On the surface, there is nothing wrong with her, but in private, she does all kinds of disgusting things."
Even Qian Yan couldn't help but say, "Back then, the Fourth Madam was able to avoid being exposed thanks to the help of Mrs. Wang, who said a lot of good things to Grandma."
……
At this point, Chu Ci had a clear idea in his mind. A person like Wang Po who had evil intentions and was a flatterer must not be kept.
Just as Chu Ci made up his mind, on the other side, Wang Po had already impatiently knelt down with her grandson.
"Please take us in, young master. I will do my best to repay your kindness. Even if I have to work like a slave, I will have no complaints."
Seeing what Wang Po did, the others followed suit and knelt down one after another, saying in unison: "Master, Miss. We can come back and continue to serve the Fan family! We hope that Master and Miss will show mercy."
Each of them had an earnest look on their face and their eyes were full of expectation, hoping to be answered.
"Sister-in-law——" Qianxue and Qianyan became anxious upon seeing this.
They held onto Chu Ci's sleeves tightly and said anxiously, "It doesn't matter to the others, but we really don't want Mrs. Wang to come back. She disgusted us a lot when she was in the mansion. If she comes back, who knows how many troubles will arise."
Upon hearing this, Chu Ci patted their hands and comforted them, "Don't worry, I will definitely talk to your eldest brother and make the decision for you."
But before Chu Ci could speak, Fan Jingrui did not agree to Wang Po's request directly. Instead, he asked with a serious look, "Are you the only ones left after being released?"
"If not, go and inform one or two."
"Then I will combine your respective strengths and re-arrange your tasks."
"As long as you work sincerely for the Fan family, the Fan family will not treat you unfairly."
"But if you have bad intentions and try to sneak into the Fan family for personal gain, the Fan family will never let you off easily!"
When Fan Jingrui said this, everyone present couldn't help but shudder, and their hearts tightened.
But there were also some people who were quick-witted. As soon as Fan Jingrui finished speaking, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Sir, I, the Sixth Servant, know where Wen Bo and Nanny Meng are. I will go and inform them right away. I promise to bring them back as soon as possible and will not delay your arrangements."
Fan Jingrui nodded, and soon Liuzi hurried away at a trot.
None of those who could get the news and rush here in such a short time are simple people.
Soon, except for Mrs. Wang and her grandson Xiaowu, all the other people who had rushed over left and went about notifying others.
Only Mrs. Wang and her grandson Xiaowu were left, and both were filled with anxiety.
If Nanny Meng came, the ugly things she had done before would no longer be able to cover up.
At the critical moment, the new brain still worked well. Although he was extremely scared, Xiao Wu still trembled and pulled Wang Po's sleeve, saying in a trembling voice: "Grandma, let's go and call for help too? Otherwise, there will be no chance."
After hearing what her grandson said, Mrs. Wang also reacted. "Okay, okay."
She nodded repeatedly, looking flustered.
Unfortunately, they were just about to leave.
After learning from Chu Ci what Wang Po had done, Fan Jingrui called them over and said, "Madam Wang, if I remember correctly, you are from Grandma's courtyard, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang froze, her body tensed instantly, and even beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. However, she did not dare to be negligent in the slightest, and quickly turned around and lowered her head to respond.
People with a guilty conscience are prone to feel guilty about everything. Mrs. Wang's voice was trembling, but she tried to be calm and asked, "What do you want, sir?"
However, Fan Jingrui did not ask any questions. Instead, he said in a gentle manner, "Grandma will not be coming to Beijing in the short term. If Nanny Wang is willing, you can wait in the manor newly granted by the emperor and help find out the situation in the manor."
"When grandma returns to the capital, it won't be too late for you to come back and serve her. The farm is quiet and peaceful, and the products are quite abundant. You can have a good rest there this time."
"I wonder if Nanny Wang is willing?"
This is simply a piece of cake falling from the sky!
If Wang Po was still a little afraid at the beginning, then after being bombarded with Fan Jingrui's sugar-coated bullets, she was completely bewildered: "Yes, I am willing."
Fan Jingrui's smile did not reach his eyes, and his deep eyes revealed an elusive light. "Well, when the broker comes over and signs the indenture, I will send you two over."
