The Lady's Sickly Husband

C71. A Sudden Stroke

"I guess this is Mrs. Ning. Old madam can't stop praising your cake, so she sent me here to offer appreciation." Then nanny Liang took over a box from the girl servant behind her.

Mo Qianxue received it respectfully and expressed her gratitude, "It's my due obligation to accept gifts from elders. Thanks for old madam's appreciation and thank you for taking it to me."

Finishing the words, Mo Qianxue also took out a purse and gave to nanny Liang. Mo Qianxue knew the rules of high-ranked families. When back in modern times, when she went out for business, she had used to preparing gifts to the other party, so she was quite familiar with the formalities.

Nanny Liang accept the purse. She was too rich to care about what was inside, but it really surprised her. She didn't expect to receive gift from a countryside woman.

However, she was sophisticated enough to conceal her surprise.

She managed to maintain a calm and smiling face, "Thank you so much."

This old nanny's demeanor was appreciated by Mo Qianxue. From the time they first met, she treated Mo with due courtesy and didn't display any sneer or satire because of Mo's identity. Nor did she behave condescending like some of the servants. Instead, she was so amiable that once Mo Qianxue saw her, she couldn't help getting close to her and telling her everything.

Judging from the attitude of Jian Qingyou towards her, this nanny must be a favored one of old madam. Such a person should vein her emotion so well and present herself as an amiable person. It was no easy thing.

With such a servant, the old madam Jian must be a great person too. Mo Qianxue suddenly wanted to meet this old madam Jian and take a look at her demeanor. Moreover, she also wanted an opportunity to help Jian Qingyou with her marriage.

Only when knowing the enemy and oneself equally well, could one win any battle. In addition, Mo Qianxue was rewarded, so out of courtesy, she should go to thank old madam in person.

Mo Qianxue laughed, "No big deal! I should feel sorry to have bothered you. Later, if it was convenient for you, could you please take me to meet old madam and thank her in person?"

The old nanny's eyes turned bright. She also didn't expect that this Mrs. Ning was such a courteous person. She didn't care about what was in the purse and randomly put it into her pocket, saying, "Old madam is also expecting you. She wonders what a sweet person you are that can make such delicious cakes."

Last time when Jian Qingyou came back, old madam had heard about Mo Qianxue, who was a woman of poor origin and somehow got married as a lucky wife, so old madam had been pitiful to her. This time, after having a taste of the delicate cake, old madam became more curious about this woman.

One reason she had sent nanny Liang here was to take a look first. If this Mrs. Ning was really as lovable as their first young lady described, old madam was willing to see her in person.

Women living in a deep huge mansion felt bored staying at home all day along, so they really wanted to know how ordinary folks led their lives.

"I never had a taste of that kind of cake before. I believe only people clever like Mo Qianxue can make it."

Hearing Jian Qingyou's praise, Mo Qianxue laughed brightly, "I can teach you if you want to learn. It's not difficult at all."

Although noble women didn't cook themselves, they did know how to make fancy refreshments and cuisines.

These were heated-discussed subjects among noble women such as which restaurant made great wine, which made excellent refreshments, and which valued classy cuisines.
