"I have nearly finished handling matters outside, and now I am attending to household affairs."
Xiao Yunsheng’s eyes flickered, and he turned calmly to step forward and support the Old Madam.
"Household affairs?" Old Madam Xiao could not mask her suspicion. "What household affair could there be that Rong'er and I are unaware of, yet you must ask a maidservant about it?"
She narrowed her eyes, studying Jiang Yue for a moment. "Isn't this Rong'er's maid?"
"Grandmother has a sharp eye; she is indeed the maid I brought with me upon my marriage. However..." Fu Rong blinked innocently, casting a pointed look at Jiang Yue. "She asked my husband for her release papers and left just yesterday. Now, she has returned without a word; she doesn't come to find me, but instead corners my husband here in hiding. I can't imagine what kind of words she has that are unfit for us to hear, fit only for my husband's ears alone."
