Chapter 952: Chapter 951: Your Girl Is Such a Gossip
Wufu returned to her small courtyard, and the person she had sent to the Wen Family to gather information returned with news.
As she expected, Wen Congrui was not a gossip. Even if he knew the troubles of the back courtyard, he wouldn’t spread them. The person who sent the message was Lan Shu, who wrote a letter of greetings that was passed on, saying it as a joke to the Old Madam of the Wen Family.
As for how the Wen Family maid knew about it, it’s said that Wen Yanfang of the Wen Family is also a capable person. Not only can she earn her father’s favor, but she also knows how to curry favor by lowering her status, always acting sweetly in front of the Old Madam of the Wen Family like a little maid. This has won her a bit of affection from the Old Madam.
When Lan Shu’s letter of greetings reached the Old Madam, Wen Yanfang happened to be serving her and overheard this piece of gossip.
Now, Wen Yanfang and Wu Yining had been at odds for a while, neither could stand the other, and when they crossed paths at the Tenth Prince’s Mansion, they would naturally clash like fighting cocks, and that’s how Wen Yanfang shared this piece of news.
"What a Lan Shu." Wufu chuckled, "I didn’t realize she cared so much about the affairs of our family!"
No matter how good-natured Wufu might be, she didn’t appreciate the affairs between women being spread around like entertainment, especially not over a thousand miles away.
Not to mention, Wufu’s temper wasn’t good to begin with.
After dismissing the people, Wufu sat down at her desk.
"Miss, should we deal with this Lan Shu?" Purple Jade’s face looked unpleasant.
"She’s not worth such a fuss from me." Wufu said, "A woman’s jealousy is not to be underestimated. Her hostility towards me is because of her Fourth Young Master, isn’t it!"
She took pen to paper and quickly wrote a letter, sealed it up, and handed it to Purple Jade: "Send this to Wen Congrui tomorrow."
Purple Jade accepted it with both hands: "Do you want Lord Wen to handle it, Miss?"
"It’s his people, of course, he should handle it. I’m sure when he sees this letter, he will find it pretty amusing." In the letter, she didn’t hold back, as there was no point in hiding anything anymore.
So she clearly expressed in the letter her ’thankful’ acknowledgment of Lan Shu’s concern, appreciating her for minding their family’s business from far away, and ’inquired’ how his family could raise such a gossiping maid.
This was a clear case of sarcasm, and if Wen Congrui didn’t do anything about it, how could he face her in the future?
And if Wen Congrui reprimanded Lan Shu, being scolded by her sweetheart would be more painful for someone like Lan Shu than death.
Wen Congrui had better handle her, or else when they return to Huayang County, should she see Lan Shu, things might not be so cordial.
Wufu also wrote a family letter, but only a few words, it was unclear whether it was out of anger or resentment towards Madam Zhou.
"Send them out together."
"Yes."
Wufu called Jadeite over and arranged what they needed to do during her absence.
"If I’m not mistaken, that place is a very dangerous jungle, so I won’t take you with me; having too many people may not be a good thing. Purple Jade, continue to handle the business arrangements and gather information about the Wu Family. Yuan Ye won’t be going this time; if there is any place where manpower is needed or matters to be handled, go find him."
"Yes, Miss."
"Jadeite, I’ve discussed with Bai Xiaobai to come up with a few formulas. You and he should calculate everything and make a few designs for rouge and congealed fat rouge. They must be done well; I’m planning to start a rouge and face powder shop, and if the products aren’t good, it’ll be hard to launch the business." Wufu looked at Jadeite again.
"Yes." Jadeite agreed.
Wufu gave a few more instructions, then prepared with the two of them for the things needed over at Cloud Realm.
