Chapter 2122: Chapter 2119: Give It a Push

But because Su Mei was more steady from the beginning, among the four senior maidservants, Ye Muyu focused solely on her.

The treatment and rank of the other three maidservants quietly dropped by half.

At that time, she simply felt that one helper was enough.

Just like in her previous life in modern times, she only had one assistant.

However, employing people today is different from modern times.

After Ye Muyu favored Su Mei, she also specifically observed the other three senior maidservants.

She found that at first they were somewhat unwilling.

But after Ye Muyu made her demands and gave them a talking to, these three didn’t dare cause trouble or speak out directly anymore. Over time, they accepted reality and became even more steady.

Ye Muyu thought she didn’t need so many maidservants.

She could cultivate these three senior maidservants to leave the residence and work outside.

However, she hadn’t decided yet, so she didn’t tell them.

On the contrary, Su Mei quietly managed the others, always arranging work for them steadily.

"Lady, young miss has returned to the courtyard. She said that she had dinner outside with friends in the afternoon when she came back."

Ye Muyu remembered a few days ago, when Chu Ziluo asked her permission to go to the bathhouse’s inner room to listen to books.

She shook her head helplessly: "Still haven’t played enough yet?"

Not only hasn’t she played enough.

Today, Chu Ziluo took Zhou Jiaojiao with her, and Zhou Jiaojiao almost had an argument at the bathhouse door.

If it weren’t for Chu Ziluo sensing something wrong and pulling Zhou Jiaojiao away, they would’ve surely discovered her true identity as a girl. When that happens, those students would further tarnish her reputation. Even though Zhou Jiaojiao is already betrothed and set to marry next year, she wouldn’t be able to withstand such gossip.

Chu Ziluo was currently in the back courtyard listening to her own maidservant reporting news.

"Have you investigated thoroughly? Are these students criticizing father?" Chu Ziluo’s face was without any smile, completely different from the obedience shown in front of Ye Muyu.

With a nod full of anger, Nenya, who grew up with her, said: "Young miss, it’s true. The servant girl and Qiu Xi went together to gather information. It’s heard that these students directly spoke in the restaurant hall, without any reservation."

"Li Cong and Deng Hairong... go investigate which close connections these students have."

"Alright, young miss." Nenya turned and took the list to the servant boy responsible for gathering information.

It’s nighttime, so it’s not suitable for her and Qiu Xi to go out.

But for these servant boys, going to places where men mingle makes it more convenient.

The servant boys are usually idle, and now finally have a chance to contribute, so naturally, they seize this opportunity eagerly, and within two quarters of an hour, have brought back the information.

"Young miss, these students usually have good relationships with Qi Yuan, who is Minister Qi’s grandson. He is quite renowned in school, with a group of students who admire him around him."

"Most of these students are on good terms with Qi Yuan, but Qi Yuan didn’t directly speak ill of father."

Chu Ziluo listened and sneered: "He wants to use others to attack, but unfortunately, no one is foolish. Since he has a good relationship with those students, how can he wash his hands clean of the connection? Really naive."

"Don’t stop these rumors from spreading; instead, help make the commotion bigger." Chu Ziluo squinted slightly, already having a plan in mind.

Isn’t the intention to criticize father? How can we just clarify the situation; instead, let’s exploit it to elevate father’s reputation further.

Nenya, although she doesn’t understand why the young miss wants to do this.
