She Became A Downfall Noble Lady

She directed Hongzhi to the rear hall, "Young master, please go in and have a seat," and then quietly instructed Xinger who was not far away.

Hongzhi, who had been entrusted with this awkward errand for Jinrong, dared not sit. Seeing that the rear hall was empty, he quickly bowed and said, "I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare. Nanny, I’m here on a task from the Sixth Master."

"Please speak, young master," Nanny Jin nodded. It must be a task from the Sixth Master; otherwise, if a personal servant of the house, along with a bunch of maids and old woman servants, swaggered through the streets like that, it meant you’re finding life too comfortable.

Hongzhi composed himself and said, "The four old woman servants and the two maids outside are people from our Sixth Master’s Mansion. Especially those four old women, they are capable housekeepers of our mansion. The two maids have also been properly instructed by our supervising nannies."

Nanny Jin nodded again, her confusion deepening. They were servants from the mansion, yet they were explaining everything so clearly to her, an outsider. What was this about?

Suppressing a sense of impropriety, Hongzhi continued earnestly, "Our Sixth Master heard that Nanny was looking for maids for Lady Qi and urgently had these servant women transferred from Yuyuan Prefecture’s estate. These people arrived yesterday afternoon, and were drilled by our mansion’s Uncle Wan, and today I was sent to lead them here."

Could there really be such a thing? Nanny Jin couldn’t wrap her mind around it for a while. What did buying maids have to do with the capable maids and old woman servants from the mansion? What was this supposed to mean?

And how did the Sixth Master know that her family was buying maids?
