Chapter 49 Lv Ping Loses Favor
Nezha’s mastery of the Five Elements Escape Technique grew even more proficient. He first visited Mr. Fan in Bailing Town and found the elderly gentleman in good health before hurrying home.
Without landing, he looked down from midair to see the dozen or so courtyards of the General’s Mansion clustered together, with servants and maids bustling through them, busy but orderly.
Among the prominent families in Chentang Pass, the Li Family of the General’s Mansion was renowned for their household management. However, outsiders didn’t know that all this was due to the virtuous Lady Yin inside the mansion.
Cui Yu, Hong Fei, Huang Jin, and Qing Lan, the managing maids of the family, were all personally trained by Lady Yin from a young age.
Though they had signed contracts to work at the house and receive pay, Lady Yin treated them like her own daughters, and they sincerely managed the household affairs as their own, never being negligent. It was indeed a stroke of good fortune for the family.
On normal days, when living at home, everything was arranged so neatly that it was barely noticeable. Only today, looking at the household matters from above, could Nezha glimpse a few insights.
Nezha muttered to himself, "Mother puts in so much effort, it’s truly exhausting."
But then he suddenly frowned. He noticed a pretty girl, without any makeup, who had changed into a coarse cloth dress and was washing clothes with a group of elderly women in the backyard. He wondered what kind of fit Li Jing was throwing this time.
Nezha picked a secluded corner to land and pushed open the oak door that hadn’t been oiled for a long time.
This courtyard was a place where the household workers operated. Upon seeing Nezha, the elderly ladies warmly greeted him, as if they had never been harsh or sarcastic with him behind his back.
