Chapter 566: Displeasure
Wei Ziqin creased her brows. “Donghe, why aren’t you greeting the Eldest Miss? How can you disregard the rules?”
It was only then that the maidservant called Donghe released Xiao Sen’s hand in terror and bowed unhurriedly towards Qiao Mu. “Donghe greets Eldest Miss.”
Qiao Mu swept her a glance before turning to look at her mother.
Wei Ziqin smiled and said, “You haven’t come back in so many years, so it’s natural that you don’t know the people that we’ve taken in. Let’s go in before chatting.”
“Youngest Young Master, does you hand still hurt?” Donghe followed behind them, remarking in a soft and supple voice, “Youngest Young Master is tired, right. Let this servant carry you inside.”
Our dear Qiao Sen was just about to hang onto the servant girl Donghe’s body, just like usual.
However, he saw his Eldest Sister turn her head around abruptly, her clear and ice-cold eyes suddenly glaring at the maidservant. “Let go!”
This bellow immediately made the servant girl Donghe, as well as the two boy servants guarding the door, jolt in shock.
Donghe hastily retracted her hands, as if she had been bitten by a venomous snake.
“He can’t walk by himself?” Qiao Mu couldn’t tolerate those young masters and young misses’ high and mighty behavior, and she gazed coldly at the servant girl called Donghe. “How old is he? Look at what he’s become, mingling with people of questionable character all the time.”
Donghe, the servant girl of questionable character, immediately reddened her eyes in grievance. She gritted her teeth and hung her head to mask the unwillingness in her eyes.
“Walk properly! Mom has told you how many times already, that you have to stand and sit properly. You deserve to be scolded by your Eldest Sis.” Wei Ziqin brusquely whacked her son’s back before dragging him through the door.
Our dear Qiao Sen obediently walked through the door by himself.
Steward Chang Zai, who came upon receiving the news, bowed with a wide smile towards the Eldest Miss and followed them inside.
After seeing a lot of new faces along the way, Qiao Mu involuntarily creased her brows.
“Mom, why are there so many idle people at home?”
Idle people…
Chang Zai twitched his mouth. Sure enough, Little Master doesn’t like the unnecessary servants.
Wei Ziqin gazed at her daughter in mirth, and the mother and daughter walked arm in arm affectionately towards the main hall.
“It’s actually not many people. Your grandmother likes it to be more lively at home, so we bought around a dozen servant girls and boy servants. We set aside two servant girls to accompany and chat with your grandmother. Tallying everyone up, our Qiao Family today only has 21 people in total. Compared to the operational structure of usual estates, we really have much fewer servant girls and boy servants,” Wei Ziqin explained to her daughter goodnaturedly.
Qiao Mu turned her head around and glared at the crown prince in displeasure.
It’s definitely because this fellow gave this and that practically every day that made the family extremely well-off. Otherwise, if they were to only depend on her father and second uncle going out to complete a mission occasionally, how could they support such a large batch of people?
