FSC [QT] Chapter 109.2

“Is that person really as bad as the rumors outside say?”

Ah Wu continued to ask with a curious and ignorant look.

“People’s hearts change easily. Before this, he was also a pitiful man.”

Imperial Physician Wang’s words were vague, so people couldn’t understand whether he wanted to express that Yan Yu had changed beyond recognition or whether he wanted to express his pity for the previous Yan Yu.

Moreover, his voice was very low when he said this. If Ah Wu hadn’t pricked up her ears to listen, she would probably have missed his low sigh.

“Seventh Young Lady, don’t be curious about these things anymore. What did you think of the cases I gave you before?”

Imperial Physician Wang didn’t want to discuss the sad history of eunuchs with a little girl, not to mention that the current situation was unclear. It was also unknown whether the Marquis of Changping and Yan Zhongying would confront each other in the future.

Ling Wu, the legitimate daughter who had just been recognized by the Marquis of Changping, was curious about the eunuchs’ affairs, which was not a good thing in itself.

Ah Wu realized that he was a little impatient, so she didn’t continue to ask questions. Instead, she took out the thick case files and carefully analyzed the prescriptions corresponding to each patient.

But when she was talking about those prescriptions, two faces kept appearing in her mind.

One was the face of her brother when he was young, and the other was the face of the deputy eunuch whom she had caught a glimpse of not long ago.

The two faces were not very similar. One always had a gentle smile on his face, while the other had a biting coldness all over his body even when he was smiling.

But in Ah Wu’s mind, these two faces that were not very similar actually overlapped strangely.

“These are the servants of the Marquis of Changping Mansion. Their ancestors have all worked in the Marquis of Changping Mansion.”

“There is one advantage in using such servants, that is, their origins are reliable and the possibility of collusion with outsiders is low. But there is also a disadvantage, that is, the servants are closely connected.”

“Some servants whose ancestors have been honored for generations are even more honorable than ordinary masters. Once they are not used well, they can be easily fooled.”

Mrs. Fan took Ah Wu’s hand and patiently explained to her the trick of selecting servants.

These should have been instilled in Ah Wu bit by bit when she was young because her identity as the daughter of the Marquis of Changping destined her to have a good marriage in the future.

She would marry into a wealthy and powerful family, so her family background, character, appearance, and means must all be excellent.

When Ling Zhuo was young, she was often sick, so Mrs. Fan relaxed her teaching. But after the imperial physician confirmed that Ling Zhuo’s health had improved greatly, Mrs. Fan also taught her the knowledge of housekeeping and controlling subordinates.

Mrs. Fan was a kind mother and also a smart mother. She knew how to treat her daughter and be truly responsible for her future.

So after Ah Wu returned to the mansion for a few months and the unfamiliarity between them had eased, Mrs. Fan put the issue of educating her daughter on the agenda.

Before this, the people serving Ah Wu were all transferred from Mrs. Fan’s side, and the master they were truly loyal to was still Mrs. Fan.

Such people were far less comfortable to use than the slaves she had trained herself, so today Mrs. Fan specially selected a group of maids of similar age to her daughter and let her daughter choose.

At the same time, she also taught her daughter a basic course on ruling subordinates.

“Those are maids sent by human traffickers. Some of them are criminal slaves who have committed crimes, and some are maids who were sold by their families because their families are poor. These slaves have also signed a contract to sell themselves.”

“They have no other brothers and sisters in the mansion. They can only rely on you as a master. Their life and death depend on your words. If you use them well, they will naturally have no second thoughts.”

“But because they are bought from outside, it is difficult to guarantee whether their family background is as clean as the human traffickers say.”

“Maybe there is a person with bad intentions standing behind the other party, who specially sent them to your side to plot something that is not good for you.”

Mrs. Fan analyzed the pros and cons of having a maid born at home and buying one from outside one by one.
