Chapter 186 Yixiu. 26
Huichun was touched by what the little girl said and she was determined to help her vent her anger, so when she arrived at the place where the palace maids lived, she acted like a servant from Qingyin Pavilion, even more dignified than when she was in Qingyin Pavilion.
After they entered, a dirty handkerchief was thrown in front of them. Huichun looked at the dirty thing at her feet and heard an arrogant voice from inside: "Why are you back so early today? Just wash the handkerchief for me first."
Xiaoyue carefully looked at Huichun's face, and she didn't dare to speak. She could only say carefully: "Aunt Huichun..."
Huichun sneered, "Oh, I've been serving the concubine for so many years and I've never been so arrogant!"
When Yu Fang heard that she didn't move, she walked out angrily and wanted to teach her a lesson. Unexpectedly, she saw Huichun standing there. She was wearing the clothes of a first-class palace maid, which made her hesitate for a moment and then she saluted immediately.
"Greetings to my aunt." Yu Fang looked at her tremblingly. Huichun stood looking at her, not knowing what to say now. She just looked at Xiaoyue with a pair of unyielding eyes.
Unfortunately, Huichun saw it. She couldn't even behave properly in front of her. It was disrespectful to her!
"Xiaoyue has always been bullied by you, is this true?"
Seeing Huichun's stern face, Yu Fang quickly knelt down and said to her: "This servant... This servant is innocent! Xiaoyue... Xiaoyue has always been unruly. This servant was just teaching her a lesson."
Huichun rolled her eyes where they couldn't see. She didn't want to bother with these little minions, so she said to her, "Where are you in charge?"
"Inside..."
The one in charge of her is a nanny, who had worked for a long time in the mansion and finally reached the position of a nanny, and then finally became the head, but now she is shaking.
Huichun rushed in, and Xiaoyue followed her with her head buried.
These little servants sometimes can't see them, but Huichun often goes out, so the masters all remember her face. Besides, they are now under the control of Yixiu, so they have to be careful of the people in Qingyin Pavilion.
Therefore, as soon as she saw Huichun coming, the housekeeper ran forward and said, "Aunt Huichun is here, but does Fujin have any important instructions? I am listening."
Huichun looked at her, wondering why there was such a person.
A nanny like this probably doesn't even have the qualifications to meet her, yet she dares to bully the servants like this?
"Mammy is so majestic!"
Huichun looked at her and almost wanted to have her thrown out! How could such a servant be working in the palace!
Some of the servants in the palace were purchased, and some were indeed provided by the palace. Even if this maid had to be dealt with, she had to be returned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Huichun looked at her and snorted coldly, "Mammy, you know how to do things. You don't listen to a word of what the concubine tells you!"
The nanny knelt down in fear and trepidation, "Aunt, why do you say that? I have always been diligent and conscientious, and have never been negligent. Although I am in charge of the maids who sweep the floor, I have never neglected my duties!"
Huichun looked at her and said, "Could it be that what I saw just now was all blind? Don't lie. Xiaoyue went out to work in such a cold winter wearing so few clothes. Are you trying to force her to death?"
"Don't take my life for granted. Lady Yi can't stand people like this! Everyone is doing things with their heads on the line, but you are so arrogant and allow the palace maids to bully others!"
The nanny didn't care at all. All the palace maids below had been oppressed like this. Those who did this were the lowest-ranking palace maids. She was able to get to the position of head because of her background.
You are not treating these people as human beings.
Just looking at Huichun's livid face, the nanny didn't dare to say anything.
Although Huichun was angry, she also knew that she had to ask someone to investigate first, so she called out all the palace maids and eunuchs who were sweeping the floor.
But at first glance, I didn't expect that these palace maids and eunuchs, except for a few, were wearing very little and were very thin, which showed that they were bullied all the time.
Huichun patiently asked them one by one, and then called the steward of the backyard to detain the person in charge first, and then make a decision after she reported to the wife.
Huichun looked at these skinny servants, comforted them one by one, and then gave the stove to Xiaoyue, "I'm going to go back and report to Lady Yi. I have all the evidence, and Lady Yi will not let you suffer any injustice for nothing."
Huichun looked at her, and then thought of her sister who had passed away young, and her heart softened a little, "You go back first."
Why didn’t I realize just now that this little girl’s eyes were so innocent and cute?
After Huichun returned, she told Jianqiu about the matter first. Jianqiu nodded and said, "It just so happens that Fu Jin is reading a book right now. You can go in and tell Fu Jin in person."
"Hey!"
Huichun walked in with a smile, and Jianqiu followed and stood beside Yixiu.
"Madam, the matter has been investigated. The person in charge is greedy for money. As long as someone bribes her, he will assign her easy work. Those who don't have money can only do the heavy work."
"Xiaoyue's family background is not good to begin with, and she has just entered the mansion, so she has no savings. If she had a stronger personality, it wouldn't be a big deal, but she has a soft personality, so she will be bullied."
Yi Xiu smiled and looked at her, his eyes full of understanding, "Why, are you feeling sorry for her? You quite like this little girl."
Huichun blushed and stammered for a long time before saying, "I had a younger sister who passed away when she was five years old. Her eyes are very similar to my sister's, so I took extra care of her."
Yixiu nodded, holding the book unchanged, and said softly: "Since she likes it, ask her to come to Qingyin Pavilion to serve. You have always liked to take care of flowers and plants, so she can follow you."
Huichun's eyes lit up. She thought she could get some reward from the lady-in-waiting to support her, but she didn't expect to have such luck.
Huichun smiled and knelt down to express her gratitude: "Thank you, Madam. Thank you, Madam."
"Well, you'll have your own followers in the future, so be more cautious."
"As for the nanny, she has already been detained. So let's report to the prince and have her sent back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
"Yes, I will definitely live up to Madam Fu's high expectations!"
Jianqiu looked at her with a faint smile on her face, and only turned back after seeing her happily accepting the order and leaving.
"Fu Jin is becoming more and more indulgent towards Huichun."
"Since she likes it, bring it in. She can help me take care of the flowers and plants and help me relieve my boredom."
Jianqiu smiled, "She is lucky to be favored by the concubine. I'm afraid she won't have to worry about the future."
Yixiu just smiled and said nothing, treating her subordinates with tolerance, and small favors could win people's hearts.
……
Inside Qingyin Pavilion, Yizheng was practicing calligraphy when someone came from the front yard to report that the prince invited her to the front yard.
She frowned slightly, and after a while asked Jianqiu to pack up her things.
But...what did Yinzhen ask her to do?
