Thrown out of the house, the wet nurse enters the noble household and becomes a person of high statu

In response to the First Madam's apology, Liu Wenying quickly replied, "This servant dares not accept such an apology."

Get up.

Wen Jingshu got up herself, walked to her, and reached out to help her up.

"It was my fault in this matter. I listened to only one side of the story and did not investigate carefully, which caused you to suffer such injustice."

She held Liu Wenying's hand and patted it gently.

"I've seen your character firsthand. You're meticulous and reliable, take good care of Ye'er, and manage the accounts very well. To me, you're an indispensable right-hand man. I made a mistake today, please don't take it to heart."

These words were not only heartfelt, but also contained apology and affirmation.

The grievances that had been building up in Liu Wenying's heart were gradually melted away by the warmth, and her eyes became a little wet again.

Wen Jingshu's apology didn't stop there. "I'll have someone send you ten taels of gold later as compensation, and it's what you deserve for your hard work in managing the accounts these past few days."

Ten taels of gold! That's equivalent to several years' worth of her monthly salary.

Not finished yet, Wen Jingshu added, "That side room in Youyuxuan is ultimately a bit cramped and not a long-term place to live. You have a child with you, so you should have a decent place to stay."

"I will have someone prepare a small room in the southeast corner of the mansion. Although it is not spacious, it is secluded, quiet, and sunny. You and your daughter can move there from now on."

The separate room is no longer a shared space, and there's no need to worry about the child's crying disturbing others. They now have their own little world that truly belongs to them, mother and daughter.

Liu Wenying was filled with mixed emotions.

Before an incense stick had burned, she was almost kicked out of the mansion, but after an incense stick had burned, she received a generous reward and proper accommodation from the madam.

How can it not be considered a major ups and downs?

"This servant...is deeply grateful for Madam's generous gift."

"Just don't hold a grudge against me." Wen Jingshu helped her up.

This incident was dangerous, but it also turned out to be a blessing in disguise for Liu Wenying.

Not only did he receive a reward and compensation, but more importantly, he won the trust and reliance of the First Madam.

As soon as they stepped through the moon gate of Youyu Pavilion, Zhao the wet nurse came up to them, feigning concern.

"You're finally back! I just heard you were kicked out of the manor? What happened?"

Previously, when Nurse Li was dismissed, Nurse Zhao fueled the flames.

Now that he himself seems to be in trouble, how could she possibly have good intentions? Her gloating was impossible to hide.

Liu Wenying was too lazy to play along with her, so she went along with her words and appropriately showed a bit of loneliness and resignation.

"Yes, you're well-informed. The First Madam did indeed tell me to pack my things and leave."

Upon hearing this, Zhao's nanny couldn't suppress the uncontrollable upward curve of her lips, and her tone became light and cheerful.

"Oh dear! This is so sudden! How could you be so careless as to anger the madam? As servants, the most important thing is to do our duty and not have any improper thoughts."

She feigned a desire to keep him, but her words were full of belittling and sarcasm.

"What nonsense are you spouting, Zhao the wet nurse?"

A cold rebuke rang out, and Cuihua approached with a sullen face, staring at Zhao the wet nurse and saying, "Whether Sister Liu stays or leaves is a matter for Madam to decide. Who are you to make sarcastic remarks here?"

Zhao, the wet nurse, was embarrassed after being publicly reprimanded by Cuihua.

Seeing that Liu Wenying seemed to have really been driven away, she felt more confident, knowing that she had one less competitor.

She pouted and said sarcastically to Cuihua, "Why are you taking it out on me? I'm just concerned about Sister Liu. Now it's just the two of us serving the young master in Youyu Pavilion. You used to be so aloof, but from now on, we'd better get along 'well'!"

After saying that, she glanced triumphantly at Liu Wenying, then swayed her hips as she headed back into the house.

Cuihua spat at her retreating figure before turning to Liu Wenying in a gentle tone.

"Don't listen to her gossip; nothing good comes out of a dog's mouth. Are you... alright?"

Liu Wenying was very grateful to Cuihua for speaking up for her, but only when she fell on hard times did she realize whether the people around her were good or bad.

"Sister Cuihua, I'm fine. There's been a misunderstanding with Madam..."

Before he could finish speaking, footsteps sounded again outside the courtyard gate.

The one who came was Zizhu, the First Madam's personal maid.

Two maids followed behind her, carrying some things in their hands.

Zizhu smiled warmly and tried to get closer to Liu Wenying, saying, "Madam asked me to bring these things to you. This is ten taels of gold that Madam rewarded you with, and since she felt it wasn't enough, she added a set of silver jewelry."

She gestured to the maid to bring the items over: glittering gold nails and a set of exquisitely crafted silver jewelry.

Liu Wenying understood that the public reward was a gesture of respect from the First Madam.

But she didn't take advantage of the situation and quickly curtsied.

"Thank you for your generosity, Madam. I am grateful to Miss Zizhu for making this trip."

"You're too kind, Granny Liu. It's all my duty."

Zizhu glanced at Zhao, the wet nurse, who was standing to the side, dumbfounded, and said in a slightly cold tone, "Madam said that Liu is someone she trusts. If anyone offends you in the future, just go to Madam and she will take care of it for you."

The smugness and gloating on Zhao's face froze, replaced by fear and unease.

Wasn't Lady Liu kicked out of the manor? How come she's still receiving rewards and has a lady backing her up?

Then wasn't she just courting death by picking a fight?

Zhao, the wet nurse, couldn't help but ask in a trembling voice, "Miss Zizhu, what happened? Didn't they say she was kicked out?"

"Some misunderstandings have now been cleared up. What? Are you disappointed?"

Zhao, the wet nurse, choked so badly that her face turned pale and she was covered in cold sweat.

Even if she was stupid, she would understand that Liu Wenying was not only not driven away, but was even more favored by the madam.

His sarcastic and cynical behavior just now was simply that of a clown.

She forced a smile that looked worse than a grimace and tried to ingratiate herself with Liu Wenying.

"Sister Liu, look at my mouth, I just don't know how to speak! It was all a misunderstanding, please don't take it to heart."

Liu Wenying didn't even bother to glance at such a sycophant.

Zizhu told her to put away the reward and then left. Liu Wenying happened to see Granny Tian rushing over after hearing the news, and together with Cuihua, the three of them went into the side room.

Zhao, the wet nurse, was left standing alone outside the door, and could only manage a forced smile.

Inside the house, Luo Luo was being well taken care of by Granny Tian, ​​which put Liu Wenying at ease.

She opened the bundle that had only contained some small items, and this time she put away all the jewelry, gold nails, and the cloth toys she had made, which were bestowed upon her by the First Madam.

Seeing that she was tidying up even more meticulously, Cuihua couldn't help but wonder, "Weren't you not leaving?"

Liu Wenying smiled and said, "Yes, I'm not leaving. The First Madam has given me a separate room and allowed me to bring Luoluo to live there. I'm packing my things now, preparing to move in."

"Really?" Cuihua was genuinely happy for her. "The side room was small and dark. Now that you have your own room, it will be much more convenient for you and Luoluo."

Seeing that Liu Wenying was alright and that her shift was almost over, she said, "Take your time packing. I have to go to Tinglan Courtyard. I'll come see you then."

"Eh."

Only Granny Tian and Liu Wenying and her daughter remained in the room. Granny Tian took her hand and said, "Tell me, what happened? I was so worried about you."
