Chapter 394 Granny Jin Gets a Frustration!
Granny Yu glanced at Granny Jin, slightly displeased, but she couldn't say anything because of the other woman's status. After all, she was a person of official rank.
Seeing that both Miss and Granny Yu had been wronged, Rongyue boldly said, "Granny Jin, although it's the rule, Miss only drank a sip of tea. What's the big deal? Could a sip of tea really ruin Miss's makeup? Besides, there are no outsiders in this room, are there?"
"Rules are rules, and they can never be changed arbitrarily." Granny Jin straightened her back, slightly raised her chin, and said with a hint of arrogance.
Rongyue was furious and was about to step forward to argue with her, but was pulled back by Granny Yu, who shook her head at her. The two had no choice but to step aside.
Mu Xin Nuan heard clearly and knew that this Granny Jin was indeed a difficult person to deal with. She secretly thought of a way to deal with such a powerful servant. She could not afford to deal with such a servant and would send her back sooner or later.
The originally festive atmosphere in the room now felt somewhat awkward and stiff.
Granny Liu glanced at both sides, lowered her head, and remained silent.
Mu Xin Nuan was looking down, lost in thought, when she heard a creak and the door opened.
"Oh, ladies and maids, you've worked hard. This is a reward from the Prince."
"Who are you?" Granny Yu looked the other person up and down, somewhat suspiciously.
"This must be Granny Yu, right? I've heard my lord say that the Princess Consort has an extremely capable nanny who protects her like the apple of her eye!"
The woman's voice wasn't loud, and judging from the tone, she was probably only around thirty years old.
Granny Yu was momentarily flattered and smiled, "That's me, but may I ask how you are addressed?"
“I used to be the steward of the back courtyard of this mansion. My surname is Fang. I am honored by the Prince’s kindness and he calls me Aunt Fang. Although there have never been many people in the back courtyard, we still have to keep things in order. Now that the mansion has a proper mistress, we servants don’t have to work so hard.”
"So it's Aunt Fang! I've long heard that there's a very capable Aunt Fang in the Chang Le Prince's Mansion. So it's you!" Granny Yu quickly flattered her.
Mu Xin Nuan smiled, since she was wearing a red veil and no one could see anything.
"Since it's a gift from the Prince, then we'll accept it." Granny Yu glanced at the people around her, reached out and took the red envelopes, and Mu Qing and the others naturally accepted them as well.
The door opened again, and Chunyu came in.
She glanced at Aunt Fang and quickly went to greet her, "Aunt Fang is here."
"Yes, it's a gift from the Prince. Take it quickly, it's for good luck." Aunt Fang glanced at Granny Jin and Granny Liu, not letting them know that they were already familiar with each other.
"This must be Rongyue, right?" Aunt Fang took Rongyue's hand again and praised, "Everyone says that the young ladies of the Mu family are elegant and beautiful, and are the most beautiful women in the world. Today, I only looked at the maids beside the princess and they were already so pleasing to the eye. The princess's true appearance must be even more beautiful than the rumors say."
"Aunt Fang, you flatter me. However, my young lady is indeed exceptionally elegant."
Hearing the little girl praising her master so unceremoniously, Aunt Fang couldn't help but chuckle.
"Alright, from now on we'll all be working in the same household, so the only masters are naturally the Prince and Princess. There's no need to be so polite anymore." Aunt Fang said, taking two steps forward and curtsying to Mu Xin Nuan. "Reporting to the Princess, the Prince has already given instructions, saying that he was worried you might be hungry and uncomfortable, so he sent me over to serve you a small cup of bird's nest."
The others didn't react much, but Granny Jin, who was standing to the side, was quite displeased when she heard this. "Aunt Fang, the rules of this wedding cannot be broken, otherwise it will be unlucky."
Aunt Fang was taken aback, then turned to look at her. Seeing her somewhat arrogant expression, she didn't say anything, but instead looked at Granny Liu beside her.
Aunt Fang's voice suddenly turned cold, "What? You say the same thing?"
Granny Jin was taken aback, her face showing anger. She was about to retort when she realized that when Aunt Fang said this, she was looking at Granny Liu who was standing to the side. So she wasn't asking her.
Everyone was stunned, not understanding how Aunt Fang, who had been so easy to talk to just moments before, could suddenly become so cold.
However, seeing that it was aimed at those two, they were naturally happy to watch the show and would not speak up for them.
Unexpectedly, Granny Liu curtsied to Aunt Fang, saying, "This servant wouldn't dare. Aunt Fang is an old servant of the Prince. As you just said, this is the Prince's will, so this servant naturally wouldn't dare to disobey."
"Well, that's good. At least there's someone sensible at least." As Aunt Fang said this, she glanced at Granny Jin, intentionally or unintentionally, which infuriated her!
So she's implying that I'm an immature person? I'm so old, when have I ever suffered such injustice?
However, Granny Jin was not stupid. Firstly, today was the day of Prince Chang Le's wedding, so she naturally wouldn't want to bring bad luck upon herself at this critical juncture. Secondly, judging from Granny Liu's respectful attitude towards her just now, she had to be careful and knew that Granny Liu was not someone to be trifled with.
"Your Highness, please rest assured, it's still early. It will probably be another hour before the Prince returns. The Emperor and Empress have not yet returned to the palace. We will serve you a bowl of bird's nest soup first, and then you can redo your makeup."
Aunt Fang lowered her voice again, "This is the main courtyard of the Prince's mansion. Apart from the Prince's confidants, no one else can enter. Even the Crown Princess cannot enter without the Prince's permission. So, Princess, please relax and don't be so reserved. Just say the word if you want to do something."
This was said in a veiled way, meaning that no one could see what he was doing here, thus effectively eliminating the two old women, Jin and Liu!
In addition, it also implied that she was allowed to go to the clean room. Thinking about it this way, Mu Xin Nuan felt much more at ease, so she nodded to indicate that she understood.
Aunt Fang smiled and beckoned, and a maid brought in bird's nest. Rong Yue took it, wanting to feed her mistress, but Mu Xin Nuan refused and took the small bowl herself, eating slowly.
For a moment, the room was quiet. Mu Xin Nuan ate a small bowl of bird's nest without making a sound of chewing or the spoon hitting the bowl. This showed her strict manners and etiquette, which made Aunt Fang nod frequently and look at this mistress with more joy.
Aunt Fang's expression naturally did not escape the notice of Granny Yu.
Seeing that Aunt Fang was satisfied, Granny Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was also glad that her young lady had been well-mannered since childhood; otherwise, she might have displeased Aunt Fang today.
