Everyone Wants to Pamper the Lucky Daughter

Chapter 650: Chapter 648: Zizhu, Arrangements for the Maids_1
 

“Miss has returned!”

Upon hearing the commotion at the courtyard gate, a maid peered out from the side room, saw that it really was the young miss, and joyfully called out.

“Miss has returned?”

Fluttering Snow Residence instantly buzzed with activity. All the maids and servants who heard the call rushed out and gathered around their mistress.

“Get back to work, our miss doesn’t need you all to wait on her.”

Nanny Sun arrived soon after, shooing away the idle troublemakers and making her way to the very front, accompanying her young miss inside.”

“Miss, your room has been cleaned every day, and the bedclothes are all newly changed.”

“Madam ordered new clothes made for you to wear during the New Year, which have been placed in the wardrobe, just waiting for you to try them on. If the size isn’t suitable, you can let the dressmakers know, and they’ll adjust it before the end of the year.”

As she spoke, she moved nonstop, like a rapid-fire cannon – not pausing even when they entered the room.

“Nanny Sun.”

Lin Qingluo removed her cloak and interrupted her with a smile: “Before I left, I asked you to buy a few new maids from the agency, to replace Qinghe and Cuiliu. How did it go?”

“According to your instructions, Miss, Cuiliu received 200 taels of silver as a dowry for her family and they took her away.”

With her head slightly lowered, Nanny Sun didn’t dare to look directly into her Miss’s eyes.

“As for Qinghe, she was unwilling to leave the mansion. She reported the situation to the old lady, and was transferred to serve the Third Lady, retaining her first-rank maid status.”

“What about their replacements? Are there any suitable ones?”

Lin Qingluo settled at the edge of her bed while placing Hunao on it, allowing him to roll around playfully.”

“We have selected six maids from the agency, who all fit the right age and appearance, and are quite clever.”

Nanny Sun reported cautiously, fearful of misspeaking: “The old lady has suggested that when you return, you may choose maids according to your liking or even keep all six.”

“Where are they?”

Lin Qingluo was noncommittal: “Among the group of young maids just now, were any of them present?”

“No.”

With her eyelids lowered, Nanny Sun exhibited the utmost respect: “They’re all under the care of the general manager of the estate, being instructed by the teaching nanny in manners and etiquette. Miss, if you wish to see them, you can call for them.”

“Then call them over.”

Lin Qingluo’s eyes sparkled with laughter: “With Qinghe and Cuiliu gone, only Cuizhu remains, and she can’t handle everything on her own.”

“Miss, I just freshly brewed jasmine tea for you. Oh no….”

As they were talking, Zizhu hurriedly approached with a tray, having darted through the yard.

As she stepped over the threshold, she wasn’t careful enough and slipped, falling forward.

The tray, teapot, and teacup flew from her hands and fell with a crash, shattering on the ground.

The hot tea splashed Nanny Sun’s feet, causing her to recoil in pain and anger.

Lin Qingluo acted swiftly to catch Zizhu, preventing her from falling to the floor and suffering greater injury.

“Kaka.”

Startled by Zizhu’s cry, Hunao shuddered and tottered on his short legs up to the edge of the bed. He stared at the debris-strewn ground and the broken porcelain, chattering incessantly.

“Hunao, it’s fine, don’t be scared.”

Lin Qingluo released Zizhu, picked up Hunao, and gently stroked his fur.”

“Kaka.”

Hunao enjoyed his master’s comforting touch, curling himself into a small bundle and snuggling into her embrace.”

“You, girl, you’re still so careless even though you’re serving at Miss’s side!”

With her foot in pain, Nanny Sun couldn’t hold back her anger and scolded sharply.”
