Chapter 276 - 251 What Can a Woman Do
Mrs. Li had been paying attention to her mother-in-law all this time, and since her daughters hadn’t returned, her hungry son could only eat rice paste. The bloating pain in her body prevented her from thinking too much.
She believed that the Tang Family’s young Master would take good care of her five daughters. Besides, even though her daughters were young, they were sensible to the point of heartache and wouldn’t easily get into conflicts with others.
Still, Mrs. Li felt uneasy, as if these farmers visiting a wealthy family were guests who could be criticized or looked down on for their silence.
"Go find the young ladies and bring them back," Mrs. Li said to two little maids.
"Madam, we’ve come to this place, but we don’t know which courtyard the young ladies have gone to. We’re afraid of running into someone important, let alone finding the young ladies," said one little maid, while the other, too scared to speak, kept her head down. In fact, her silence already made it clear: how would they manage if they got lost in this unfamiliar place?
Mrs. Li, in her haste, hadn’t considered this earlier. When they arrived, she had instructed everyone not to wander off, for even after several months as a wet nurse, she still didn’t know every part of the Tang Mansion.
She had only visited the young Master’s and the Madam’s courtyards, such as the outer courtyard and the study room, but she had never been to the private areas of other masters within the Tang Family or to the places where they lived.
One can imagine how large the place is, so sending two little maids to search truly wouldn’t work.
