Chapter 179 - 178: Parents in Official Positions Making Decisions
If Nanny Jin were present, she would immediately understand that all the previous groundwork laid by the young lady of the house was to negotiate for the expenses of the six servants from Prince Yu’s Mansion, and possibly for more servants from the mansion in the future.
