Chapter 5.2

This is not a professional translation; you have been warned. ʘ‿ʘ


Yu Mama behind her, showed a hint of joy in her face but immediately concealed it.

After waiting for the old lady to rest in the evening, Yu Mama left Rongan hall.

Although she served at the old madam’s side, she has a husband and a son, so she had to go home every day after her duty. Her house is just behind Chen family’s mansion. All the servants of Chen’s family live in this area. If you come out from the back door, it is an alley away from Chen’s mansion.

When Yu Mama walked to the back door, an old woman came out of the corner. She greeted her with a smile and asked if she was going home.

The two people soon walked to the corner to talk.

“Thank you, Mama,” said the old woman. She stuffed a purse into Yu Mama’s hand, but looked at the woman guarding the back door not far away. “Madam said that Mama’s help has been recorded, and she will live up to it in the future.”

Yu Mama put a light smile on her face, put the purse in her arms, and then casually talked with the woman and left.

She didn’t turn her back on the master, she is just pushing away the trouble. The old lady is old and soon the eldest madam will be the hostess of the family. Naturally, she won’t offend the eldest madam.


Since the second lady came back from Rongan hall, the main door of Yunxia courtyard is tightly closed.

Usually there are several servant girls waiting in front of the door. However, today none of them are seen. There is no sound in the huge yard.

In the main room, the second madam held up a plum vase and tried to smash it down, but Liu Mama held her waist behind her.

“Madam, you have to consider and think for the princess. When you come back from the old madam’s place with your front foot and your back foot makes a noise in the yard, I’m afraid the whole house will know that you’re not happy with the old madam. “

The second madam was so angry that her chest heaved up and down. Her face was white but her eyes were bloodshot. Her dignified appearance has been washed away.

She repeatedly stamped her feet and scolded, “That old madam, who pretends to be a Bodhisattva when she is fasting and praying is actually the most vicious. She doesn’t want to send people here; she wants to drive my daughter to the end! That Zhao shi, who usually smiles at people, has a black belly that behave like thieves and prostitutes!”.

Liu Mama repeatedly advised, “Madam, the old slave knows, but you must not be angry and affect your body. You also know that the crown princess is in trouble. If you are in a mess at this time, what should the Crown Princess do? Please calm yourself and let’s think of another way to prevent people from riding on their heads. “.

Taking advantage of the second madam’s trance, Liu Mama signaled Fei Cui on the side.

Fei Cui snatches the plum vase from the second madam’s hand. Liu Mama takes the opportunity to help the second madam to go to the next room, and orders someone to fetch water to serve her.

When the second madam has cleaned her face, Liu Mama rubs her temples and advised her, “Madam, you are from a noble family and you understand that this is a terrible thing for everyone. The girl is the mother of a family when she is young, but in the future she will be the mother of the country. We can prevent it for a while but we can’t prevent it for a lifetime. Why do we have to find ourselves angry?”.

“The old slave had advised you before that the girl is too ignorant, but you said your girl is still young, married for only a few years, it is normal to take things too seriously. But the girl is confused but madam you can’t be confused. Can you stop people from entering the palace? Furthermore, in the future, if the prince ascended the throne, the imperial harem will be filled with people. What should we do then?”

“Do you remember concubine Wang? At the beginning, you were annoyed at her being favored. You quarreled with the master every day, and even the old madam said you were wrong. After that, you made a plan to deal with concubine Wang, and took the opportunity to bring concubine Hong and concubine Qian to the master. All men are greedy for flowers and lusts. Within a year, the master himself was indifferent to concubine Wang. Later, she died of depression, and you solved a big problem without any effort. “

Liu Mama advised her sincerely, “You let the eldest son-in-law find a unique one in Jiangnan. If it’s not because of this idea, why are you so angry now? Even if the eldest madam gives you an obstacle, don’t forget that the niece of the eldest madam comes from Zhao family in Henan Province. Their family is the most particular about women’s virtue.”.

“If such a woman is an ordinary woman, naturally it doesn’t matter. But don’t forget, madam, how can a man like this kind of woman who is always on the edge? If it’s to be liked by a man, it’s still up to those lowly ones to let go of all kinds of solicitations. You didn’t like the thin horse sent by the son-in-law before, but the slave thinks that she is just right.”

“We won’t let her do anything else, as long as she can please the Crown Prince for the Crown Princess. We just have to wait for the princess to give birth to the legitimate son and take the position of the Crown Princess steadily. After this, she will not be afraid of anything. Miss Zhao, now we are concerned about her status of relatives and we cannot help but tie up our hands and feet. But if she enters the palace, she is just a concubine, not the crown princess.”


T/N: Who do you think does the old woman work for? Hmm … (´・ω・`)?
