Shao Wanru stared at the group of servants in front of her with deep eyes.

Nanny Yu had actually made a good choice if their attitudes were ignored. They looked sincere and seemed to be capable. She just wondered how they behaved because they might not subject to Nanny Yu in discipline for the time being.

Before they walked out, Nanny Zheng had told Shao Wanru that although Nanny Yu had warned these old maids and maids a few times after they entered the Piaoyun Courtyard, Nanny Yu hadn’t been hard on them. After all, Shao Wanru was not in the mansion. Nanny Yu couldn’t deal with them as the supervisor.

At the same time, Nanny Zheng had also told Shao Wanru the news she got. Most of the maids and old maids assigned to the Piaoyun Courtyard this time had been servants in Duke Xing’s Mansion since they were born and their families had been servants in Duke Xing’s Mansion for generations. Besides, they had complicated connections with the servants in other courtyards.

Shao Wanru couldn’t dismiss them even if she wanted to, because a slight move in one part might affect the situation as a whole!

Because Shao Wanru remained silent, the maids and old maids, who had been on guard at the beginning, started to discuss loudly and wildly in the courtyard. They thought that the Fifth Miss seemed to be tough, but was a wax spear which looked like made of silver and threatening but was actually timid.

“Pull the old maid out!” After staring at them coldly for a long time, Shao Wanru suddenly pointed at the most vigorous old maid in the discussion, who was standing in the middle and said.

This was the supervisor old maid mentioned by Nanny Zheng just now! She was sent by Madam of Duke Xing to manage the servants who had just come to the Piaoyun Courtyard. Strictly speaking, she was sent by Old Madam of Duke Xing and could be considered respected in front of Old Madam of Duke Xing. When Shao Wanru walked out, the old maid looked at her scornfully.

Yujie went over and pulled out the old maid engaged in the discussion. She tried so hard that the old maid staggered out of the crowd and fell down in front of Shao Wanru only after taking a few steps.

The old maid cried out in pain and wanted to swear. However, seeing Shao Wanru’s cold eyes, she couldn’t help shivering.

The old maid realized what was going on and intended to get up with her hands on the ground. However, Yujie stepped on the hem of her clothes, making her unable to get up!

It became quiet immediately in the courtyard!

Although some old maids and maids here had their own backing, none of their backings could compare with that of the old maid, who was not a first-class supervisor in Old Madam’s courtyard but was respected and had a voice in front of Old Madam.

A maid, who was leaning against the door of the courtyard, took a quick glance at Shao Wanru, and then lowered her head, shrank her shoulders, and cautiously slid to the door of the courtyard. After getting out of the courtyard, she turned around and ran out to report the news!

In the corridor, Shao Wanru sneered. As she expected, the maid in her courtyard actually worked for someone else!

“What do you mean by doing that, Fifth Miss?” Pressed by Yujie with the hem of her clothes under Yujie’s feet, the old maid could not get up, looked at Shao Wanru in front of her in a shameful rage, and said.

Shao Wanru looked at her calmly with her eyes which were so deep as if they each contained a severely cold spring. She was still dressed in the black clothes she wore in the nunnery. However, the plain black clothes made her look severe and cold. With no expression on her delicate face, she looked down at the old maid coldly.

Her threatening gaze made the old maid secretly swallow a mouthful of saliva. Wasn’t the Fifth Miss a fragile lady? Shouldn’t she go to complain after being upset by their unkindness? However, the complaint was useless, because no master in the mansion took her seriously!

“Are you a second-class old maid assigned to this yard?” Shao Wanru asked coldly with an icy face.

“I’m sent by Old Madam and was a second-class old maid in Old Madam’s courtyard. When Madam sent me here, she promised me that I would be a first-class old maid here!” The old maid said with dissatisfaction.

Madam of Duke Xing did promise her that before she came here. Since she had worked in Old Madam’s courtyard before, it was reasonable for her to be a first-class supervisor nanny after she was assigned to another courtyard. This was usually how the second-class old maids in Old Madam’s courtyard got promoted to the first-class old maids!

However, when she came here, she found that there was already a supervisor nanny in the yard, and the supervisor nanny was sent by Rui’an Great Elder Princess. Moreover, Rui’an Great Elder Princess said that the supervisor nanny had been Shao Wanru’s supervisor nanny and wet nurse before. With her identity and Great Elder Princess’s order, the supervisor nanny’s position was determined.

Besides, Duke Xing’s Mansion was in the wrong at that time, so they couldn’t argue for an old maid.

Therefore, the second-class old maid, who had intended to be the supervisor nanny, was assigned to the Piaoyun Courtyard in the same position without getting a promotion. Speaking of this, the old maid was full of resentments.

“How can I trouble an old maid working for Old Madam? I have a lot of servants here. Send her back to Old Madam’s courtyard!” Shao Wanru said coldly.

“Yes, Miss!” Before the old maid reacted, Yujie said, lifted her feet on the hem of the old maid’s clothes, pulled her up, and dragged her out.

“Fifth Miss, I’m sent by Old Madam to serve you. I didn’t do anything wrong and didn’t offend you. Why do you deal with me indiscriminately as soon as you come here? Is it because I’m sent by Old Madam?” The old maid, who realized the situation, struggled to loosen Yujie’s grip of her collar while shouting with a red face.

If she was dragged out by Yujie in front of so many people, she would be too ashamed to continue staying in Duke Xing’s Mansion.

Perhaps rage stimulated her strength. She was even on par with Yujie, and neither of them could break the balance at the moment.

By saying that, she indicated that since she had worked for Old Madam, Shao Wanru couldn’t do anything to her even if Shao Wanru was dissatisfied with her!

“Slap her!” Shao Wanru said coldly.

Yujie grasped the old maid’s hands with both hands. Qu Le went over and slapped the old maid hard. The old maid was stunned, even forgot to struggle, and looked at Shao Wanru in front of her in disbelief.

She had indicated that she was sent by Old Madam. How dared Shao Wanru hurt her!

The two hard slaps scared everyone in the yard. They had never met Shao Wanru, but had imagined what kind of person the Fifth Miss Shao was. They all thought that the Fifth Miss Shao was just a fragile lady even with the support of Rui’an Great Elder Princess.

After all, as her maternal grandma, Rui’an Great Elder Princess couldn’t have a louder voice than her paternal grandma, Old Madam of Duke Xing’s Mansion!

She could rely on her maternal grandmother’s power when she was not in Duke Xing’s Mansion. However, now she had moved to Duke Xing’s Mansion where everything was under the control of Old Madam and Madam of Duke Xing. Although these servants were assigned to the Piaoyun Courtyard, few of them took Shao Wanru seriously. Moreover, Shao Wanru came from a small place, so they just considered her a timid Miss who had seen nothing of life.

She probably wouldn’t even dare to rebuke the servants because of the complicated connections among them!

However, they didn’t expect that the Fifth Miss in front of them would change their thoughts dramatically.

The ravishing Fifth Miss in front acted so simply and rudely without any tactic, but it achieved her desired result directly. Looking at the red and swollen cheeks of the old maid, the rest of the maids and old maids felt like they could feel the same pain and did not dare to say a word.

They were just waiting for the development of the situation!

The maids and old maids were wondering whether it would end up in a storm or nothing definite, but no one would be stupid enough to stand out and just wait and see how Shao Wanru would deal with this old maid.

“Fifth Miss, I’m sent by Old Madam. Even if I did something wrong, you can’t punish me at will!” The old maid said. She, who was stunned by the slaps and held down heavily by Yujie, trembled in rage. She was respected even in front of Old Madam and had never been humiliated in this way. She had intended to endure it, but now she couldn’t bear it anymore and shouted with a furious and ferocious look.

Although the old maid was held down firmly by Yujie, she kept struggling desperately so that she flushed in a rage with an obvious reluctance to give in.

“You are sent by Old Madam?” Shao Wanru said coldly and raised her eyebrows. Despite her slight expression, the old maid considered it scornful.

“Fifth Miss, do you look down on me or Old Madam?” The old maid, who was furious at the moment, shouted.

“Are you sure that you are sent by Old Madam?” Shao Wanru asked.

“Of course, I am sent by Old Madam to serve you, but not to be humiliated by you. A humiliation to me is equivalent to humiliation to Old Madam!” The old maid said, getting increasingly furious because of the pain in her hands held by Yujie. If it weren’t for Yujie’s great strength, she definitely would have knocked down Yujie and slapped her violently in front of Shao Wanru!

Now she got the opportunity. Sensing that Yujie loosened her grip, the old maid immediately pounced on Yujie and intended to slap her hard. Yujie, who was caught off guard by her sudden counterattack, took two steps back and bumped into the two people behind her. Because she tilted her body, the old maid slapped another old maid behind Yujie.

Getting a sudden slap, the old maid standing behind Yujie shouted and jumped up in pain!

The old maid, who suddenly jumped up, bumped into several maids and old maids around her and made them fall and bump into others. The rest of them stepped back respectively, turning the place into a mess.

“What’s going on here?” A displeased voice suddenly came from the door of the courtyard. Everyone looked back and saw Madam of Duke Xing standing at the door with a large group of maids and old maids. Although she looked calm, there was some displeasure in her eyes. There was another lady beside her, but Shao Wanru had never seen her before.

Despite her young age, the lady standing beside Madam of Duke Xing was not overwhelmed by Madam of Duke Xing who was stately!

In the corridor, Shao Wanru lifted the corners of her tender lips and thought that Madam of Duke Xing probably brought the lady to suppress her…
