Chapter 9 part 1
Madam Lin looked extremely ugly, her eyes filled with hatred.
Ouyang Nuan simply stood up and softly spoke,
"Dad….
"Dad, do not blame mother. After all, mother was keeping what"s lacking in the family for Jue"er. She…
ah!
"These lowly servants are no good. Last time when younger brother had an accident, no one took responsibility. In addition to today"s matter, they still neglect grandmother. Dad…. I am also at fault as an older sister."
Those sentences were covered in hidden meanings. Relatively speaking, Madam Lin was not Jue"er"s birth mother, why would she care for Jue"er attentively?
Last time, Ouyang Jue had an accident, these servants were also the reason. Madam Lin even followed this with another mistake and should be blamed.
After all, Madam Lin does have ulterior motives towards Ouyang Nuan, and she was not able to give Ouyang Nuan proper attention. She never thought that Ouyang Nuan was not the same person as before.
Now Ouyang Zhi started to doubt Madam Lin, and looked at her firmly. Laotaitai Li was seated from above, and took another glance at her daughter-in-law.
She smiled bitterly, then finally spoke.
"Nuan"er is big now, so from now on this courtyard will be handed over to her. Alright? Besides, she also needs to learn about how to manage one"s household."
Ouyang Zhi promptly responded, "Alright, mother."
Ouyang Ke expressionlessly stared at Ouyang Nuan, whose smile was even more gentle and modest. Ouyang Ke"s heart was on fire! She wished she could thoroughly rip those lips up.
Madam Lin was leaving the courtyard, staggering while taking steps. She almost fell, but Ouyang Nuan moved forward to support her.
"Mother, be careful."
The so-called "mother" was called in an overly affectionate tone.Madam Lin looked at her gentle and adorable face. It is impossible to think how she seems so young and good looking, but was such a little h.e.l.lion. To think that this stepdaughter was indeed an extremely mischief-maker, she had truly underestimated Ouyang Nuan.
As she came back to reality, she promptly took back her hand and stared blankly at Ouyang Ke, urging her to leave.
Ouyang Nuan did not immediately deal with those young servant girls. Rather than that, she waited for Ouyang Jue to come back from school. Let her wait beside them, take a seat and observe.
Both Fang mama and Hong Yu were waiting on the side. The courtyard filled with silence while the entirety of young servant girls and mamas waited inside the courtyard for her commands.
Ouyang Nuan had just sat down when the mama in charge went up and carefully provided her a hot cup of tea. Ouyang looked at her and then personally took the tea from her. The mama"s movement was unstable, yet Ouyang Nuan didn"t say a word.
All of them heard that from now on, the Eldest Miss was going to manage the Pine Bamboo Courtyard. This was extremely rare. All of them suddenly felt full of relief. If Madam Li was still in charge, the scene right now would be frightening. But because the Eldest Miss was still young and listened to her elders. It was said that she was lenient, never one to punish a servant for no apparent reason or sell anyone.
However, presently, she has absolutely not moved from her seat. Does not know but emotions was greatly concerned and telling for some reason, must be careful to lose ones head.
Just as Ouyang Nuan took a sip of tea, a loud shout was heard from outside.
"Older sister!"
She looked briefly at the person who had arrived. This was her innocent younger brother, Ouyang Jue. He foolishly smiled at her. Then she looked individually at the servant girls in front of her. Ordinarily around this time, these people went to have fun. Currently, they were not moving, knowing that today was not a good day for them. They shrugged their shoulders and bowed their heads, holding their breath.
"I trusted you to serve Jue"er, I only asked you to take care of him and protect him. I did not consider you would blatantly not care for him when he is so young!
Unexpectedly, one of these servants wanted to use him to climb above your station. Such an audacious child!"
Ouyang Nuan was not quiet, but in a very awful voice asked, "Which one is Qing Feng? Come out!"
Qing Feng bowed her head and straightaway kneeled down on the ground. Ouyang Nuan said coldly, "When eldest young master fall behind at school, you just ignored him. He was alone and had to return home by himself. You do not regard him with respect! Go outside. Give yourself fifty planks. From then on, you are removed from this household!"
