Qin Yuan smiled and said, "What you say is true, but if a maid from another mansion accomplishes great things, the golden peanuts in my bag would also be given as a reward."
Hong Ye nodded and said, "Of course, everyone speaks based on their abilities. I've been serving the Madam for many years, and I'm not short-sighted. Putting Madam's interests first is naturally the duty of a servant."
Listening to the conversation between the two mistresses and maids, Xiao Si and Ping'er, standing nearby, felt endless envy. Who wouldn't want a master like this — generous, magnanimous, and easygoing?
After changing clothes, the group left the courtyard and followed Xiao Si and Ping'er to the main garden, where they met the ladies from Duke An's Mansion and stopped for a chat.
Xiao Si and Ping'er hastily excused themselves to attend to the pavilion.
