Chapter 193 Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhao Know the Master's Identity
Fang Qingge said to the two nurses,
"Okay! Go pack up quickly! We'll be leaving soon. You don't need to bring too much, everything is available there."
The two men responded and hurried to clean up with trembling legs.
Nanny Qi also quickly explained everything to her parents-in-law and daughter.
Li Wangwang was reluctant to leave, holding the hairpin given to her by the young lady, with tears in her eyes.
Before getting in the car, Fang Qingge took out two more letters and handed them to Butler Zhang.
"Uncle Zhang, after we leave, please deliver these two letters to the two ladies next door. Be sure to hand them over to them personally."
"Ma'am, don't worry, I will definitely get it done!"
*
Before they left, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhao were pulled aside by Eunuch Fu and given a few words of advice.
"What? What did you say? The... the... the prince?"
Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhao stammered and repeated it several times in disbelief.
Looking at Eunuch Fu, he smiled and nodded again.
The two were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out of their heads and their lips trembled with excitement, as if they saw green smoke rising from their own ancestral graves.
The people in the Fang Mansion were shocked and terrified.
It's no wonder Fang Qingge concealed it. She thought it would be better to let it go. In fact, she just didn't want to put pressure on the few people around her who trusted her.
Butler Zhang and Nanny Zhao, who learned the truth, were so terrified that their legs began to tremble.
The two of them hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to the prince, Fang Qingge and the two young masters who had boarded the carriage.
They also knew that the prince's actions were kept secret, and they were so excited that they couldn't say anything.
When Dali, Xiao Xizi and Li Pozi's family saw this, they also knelt on the ground in panic and paid their respects.
I watched the car go away and disappear.
Butler Zhang stood up dazed and said to the people who came out to see him off,
"Come back! Let's have a meeting."
"Yes, Butler Zhang."
Everyone turned around and went back to the yard.
When Butler Zhang turned around, Nanny Zhao gently touched his arm and whispered,
"Butler Zhang, do we need to give them a heads up?"
Uncle Zhang had not yet completely digested the big bomb dropped by Eunuch Fu before he left.
After a moment of stunned silence, he shook his head at Madam Zhao and said,
"Being not."
Then the two of them walked into the yard together.
*
At this time, in the courtyard of Fang Mansion.
Dali, Xiao Xizi, Nanny Qi's mother-in-law Li Pozi, the father-in-law Li Laotou who was in charge of driving the carriage, and the little granddaughter Li Wangwang, five people, were already waiting.
"Let's all go into the hall and talk."
"Yes."
Then seven people, young and old, walked into the hall together.
Uncle Zhang looked at the people in front of him who had become a family. He was overwhelmed with emotions and didn't say a word.
It feels like a dream tonight.
After a long while, Uncle Zhang calmed down and said in a trembling voice,
"Everyone, listen carefully. Since Madam has handed this household over to me and Madam Zhao, we are a family.
You should know how to be grateful. Don't ask about the whereabouts of your masters at will, and don't reveal anything about the Fang Mansion.
Being loyal and keeping one's mouth shut are the rules of our Fang family.
Well, do what you did before. Don't be lazy just because the masters are not here. "
*
"Yes, Butler Zhang. Don't worry!"
Xiao Xizi and Dali rushed to make the promise in unison.
Old man Li also stood up and expressed his opinion on behalf of the whole family.
"Don't worry, housekeeper Zhang. My whole family can't thank you enough, Madam! It's because of Madam's kindness that we were saved from becoming beggars on the streets.
My wife and I don't have any great ambitions in this life. We just want to take good care of the family for Madam. When Madam and the young masters come back, there will be hot soup and hot meals waiting for them at home."
"Yes. If you can think this way, it will not be in vain for the master's painstaking efforts.
Brother Li, Dali and I are going on a long journey tomorrow. Although Nanny Zhao is in charge of the family, they are all women and children.
You should also pay more attention to the mansion and protect this home together."
"Don't worry, Steward Zhang, I will. Are you going out tomorrow? Then my wife and I will quickly make some pancakes for you to take with you on the road."
Upon hearing this, Butler Zhang thanked him.
Old man Li laughed and quickly called his wife and granddaughter to go to the kitchen to get busy.
He didn't know at this time that his daughter-in-law, who had sold herself into slavery, had already stepped one foot into that magnificent and wealthy home.
*
Butler Zhang watched Old Man Li and the others leave.
He took out a roll of paper from his sleeve pocket and said excitedly to Zhao Mama, Dali and Xiao Xizi,
"Before leaving, the master gave me the indentures for the four of us and told me to go to the government office to have our slavery annulled tomorrow morning. From now on, we are no longer slaves, but free citizens."
Nanny Zhao and the other two were a little reluctant to see the Madam and the young masters leave, so they were stunned for a moment when they heard the words, then surprise flashed in their eyes.
The emotions were a little excited, and he was even more grateful to his wife.
"Is it true? I never thought that I would be free from slavery when I grow old. Madam's kindness is so great that I can never repay her!"
Zhao Mama's tears suddenly flowed down.
"Madam Zhao, don't cry! Madam is so kind to us.
Uncle Zhang, do I no longer have to worry about being sold off? I no longer have to kneel down before anyone I see? "
Xiao Xizi's eyes were filled with tears. She couldn't believe it and kept asking over and over again.
Uncle Zhang nodded affirmatively at the three of them.
*
At this time, Dali, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked after being stunned,
"Uncle Zhang, I'm no longer a slave, so I can marry a good wife, right? Then my future children won't be called dogs and slaves, right?"
"You little bastard, you're already thinking about getting married before your hair even grows out. Hahaha..."
Dali's words made everyone laugh and immediately dispelled the sadness of parting in their hearts.
Butler Zhang said again,
"Madam trusts us. We can't forget our benefactor just because we are free from slavery. We must work hard in the future to repay Madam's kindness. Okay, let's go!"
"Yes, we know, Uncle Zhang."
After Dali finished speaking, he went back to prepare his belongings for tomorrow’s trip.
Xiao Xizi also hurried to the kitchen to help.
*
At this time, Aunt Zhao did not move. She was filled with mixed feelings.
After a while, Fang Qingge brought the children into the palace, and it was hard to say goodbye.
After a while, I started to worry about them again.
When she was distracted, she heard Zhang Bo explain to her in a low voice,
"Madam Zhao, we don't need to disclose the identities of the masters for now. The masters have just entered the palace, and everything is unknown. It is not appropriate to be too public.
You should work harder at home and ask Xiao Xizi to keep accounts of the money collected from the shops every month, and then you can keep it all.
When we open a branch store, we will have more places to spend money. Xiao Xizi is smart, so we must let her check and record every penny of our profit and expenditure carefully."
"Well, I'll keep an eye on it, too."
Only then did Butler Zhang feel relieved.
