Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

Chapter 195: Musk Moon Rises to Power

Before entering the courtyard, I heard the sarcastic curses coming from inside.

"Haha, let's see who among you is still pretending to be a foxy woman to coax Baoyu and make him ignore me! Humph, she is just a little girl bought with a few taels of filthy silver. In the future, she will be dragged out to be paired with boys!"

Seeing that the maids dared not speak out, she felt even more smug.

"Don't think you can be as lucky as Xiren, and be matched with the personal servant of the Second Master!"

"I'm telling you, those two restless girls, Bihen and Meiren, have been sent to the farm by the Second Madam to be married off to farmhands! There's no chance of them having a good life as ladies in Baoyu's courtyard any more!"

The more silent they were, the more vigorously Nanny Li scolded them.

Musk Moon couldn't stand it any longer and retorted, "You just want to be our boss because Second Master drank your milk for a few days! Even if we make a mistake, Second Master, Madam and Old Lady will punish us. You are meddling in other people's business!"

"You said we act like ladies all the time, but who serves tea and cleans the house? Who makes the Second Master's personal belongings? You are responsible for all of this? What a pity! The Second Master will never wear anything you prepare!"

"You!" Nanny Li remembered the harsh words Jia Baoyu had said to her before. Even though she had Mrs. Wang's support behind her, she still lacked confidence at this moment.

At this moment, Grandmother Jia walked into the yard.

When Nanny Li saw her, she was so frightened that she almost hid in the mud like a turtle.

She dared to scold the maids so arrogantly, wasn't she relying on the fact that Lady Jia wouldn't hear it?

"Madame... Madam, why are you here..." Madam Li forced a smile and stepped aside awkwardly.

Grandmother Jia's gaze stayed on Nanny Li, and she stared at her until her legs went weak and she almost knelt down.

Seeing her hopeless appearance, Jia's mother snorted coldly and slowly walked into the main room.

Shi Xiangyun followed behind Lady Jia and made a face at Li Ma with glee, fearing that she didn't know that she was the one who was telling lies behind her back.

Seeing that everyone had entered the main room, Nanny Li stood up straight and followed them reluctantly.

It was clear that Lady Jia had come here to call for an explanation, so Nanny Li didn't dare to slip away at this time.

As soon as Grandmother Jia sat down, she went straight to the point: "What's the matter with Baoyu's bellyband?"

Nanny Li answered first, "Madam, it's because Second Master has grown up and the size of his bellyband is no longer suitable. This kind of close-fitting clothing cannot be worn by others, so it can only be wrung out and thrown away."

Grandmother Jia glanced at Aunt Li coldly: "I didn't ask you."

She glanced at the maids standing in the middle. Apart from Nanny Li, there were only four of them, and two younger ones who looked quite smart.

The rest are too young and look too childish. How can they take good care of Baoyu?

"You, and you, what's your name?"

Xiaohong and Yunxiang were delighted when they were pointed out, but they dared not show it on the surface. They walked forward in small steps and kowtowed to Grandmother Jia.

"Madam, my name is Xiaohong."

"My name is Yunxiang."

Grandmother Jia nodded with satisfaction: "You are all good children. I feel happy when I see you. You should be promoted to be the head maids in Baoyu's room. We are still short of two head maids, so let Yingge come first, and wait until the little maids grow up a little, and then promote them."

Xiaohong and Yunxiang were so excited when they heard this that they immediately knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly to express their gratitude.

When Li Ma saw that Lady Jia did not scold her, she became bolder.

"Madam, you have to discipline these girls. They keep coaxing the Second Master out of his room all day long, not even into the study. The Second Master has beaten and scolded them, but there is nothing he can do about them. Sometimes when I give him some advice, the Second Master gets angry and says some nonsense. What can I do?"

Shi Xiangyun couldn't help but get anxious when she heard her quibbling, and retorted: "You are not worried about your second brother not going to the study room, but you are worried that he will not serve you like the other servants in the mansion!"

Li Ma'am's face turned pale and blue as Shi Xiangyun hit her heart. She still refused to give up: "Miss, where did you get that from? You are really wronging me."

Grandmother Jia signaled Shi Xiangyun to calm down, then looked at Sheyue who was standing in the first row: "You speak."

Musk Moon took a deep breath and tried to keep her words neutral as she recounted what Li Ma had done in Jia Baoyu's courtyard during these days.

"Also, although Sister Xiren is now the daughter-in-law of the nanny, she was once the head maid in the Second Master's courtyard, and she is also a person of honor. If the nanny wants to teach her daughter-in-law a lesson, she can do it in her own courtyard. We dare not speak loudly in this courtyard, but the nanny is howling like a wolf and a ghost, lawless."

When Jia's mother saw that the maid was pretty and, moreover, eloquent and clear in her thinking, she was in no way inferior to Yuanyang and Xiren.

She nodded with satisfaction, pointed at Sheyue and asked Li Ma: "Did you understand what she just said?"

Matron Li smiled and said, "I understand, I understand."

Her perfunctory attitude was obvious, but Grandmother Jia was too lazy to say anything more to the old woman.

Grandmother Jia held Sheyue's hand and said, "You are a person who can make decisions. Baoyu often behaves in a disorderly manner, so you should give him more advice.

This place is not far from my yard. If you have any problem, just come back to me. If there are any more people who are ignorant and take advantage of their age, just kick them out."

Li Ma Ma shrank back again when she heard this. However, Jia Mu's words reminded her, and she felt a little proud again.

Musk Moon, together with all the maids, kowtowed to Lady Jia again to express their gratitude.

Thinking of the twisted bellybands, Jia's mother ordered again: "Follow Yuanyang and go to my private storehouse to get a piece of material and make a few for Baoyu first."

Then she turned to Shi Xiangyun and said, "Now you should be relieved. You don't have to worry about your second brother having no clothes to change into!"

Shi Xiangyun said shyly, "Who's worried about him!" However, her tone could not hide the shyness of a little girl.

Daiyu saw this and couldn't help but tease her: "Of course it's the eldest daughter of the Shi family who worked so hard to embroider her bellyband that her eyes turned red!"

"Sister Lin, what are you talking about!" Shi Xiangyun broke free from Lady Jia's hand with a coquettish look and rushed towards Daiyu.

"I'm not talking nonsense! I'll ask the kitchen staff to make you a pig liver feast tonight to nourish your eyes!"

"You keep talking, I'll tickle you!" Shi Xiangyun pretended to tickle Daiyu.

The two of them ran out laughing and playing, and happened to meet Jia Baoyu walking into the yard.

When Jia Baoyu saw Daiyu's beautiful smile, he could not help but stare at her.

Daiyu noticed the surprised look on Jia Baoyu's face, and quickly put away her smile, bowed slightly, and asked, "Cousin Baoyu, have you finished your homework today?"

When Baoyu was asked this question by Daiyu, the corners of his mouth immediately drooped down, and he said stiffly, "Thank you for your concern, cousin."

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and walked straight towards the main house.

Shi Xiangyun looked at Baoyu's back, then turned back to look at Daiyu. After some hesitation, she decided to catch up with Baoyu.
