As the Gu Family's chief steward, it's not just an honorary title.
Let's not even mention the repair costs—every year, each time, she's spent hundreds of thousands. And now for the first household of the Gu Family to say such things—wasn't that just a roundabout way of accusing her of incompetence?
Nanny He immediately objected: "That's impossible! The Young Mistress just wants to save herself some trouble or maybe doesn't want to make arrangements."
"She might want to save trouble, but saying it like this… does she really think I'm too old and stupid to know what's happening in the house?"
At first, when the Old Madam spoke like this, Nanny He held quite a grudge against Gu Jintu's wife. But seeing the Old Madam so upset now, she didn't have the heart to criticize further. Instead, she consoled the Old Madam: "Don't take it too personally. Nowadays, young people—all of them—just want to avoid trouble."
"Hmph! If she were truly just avoiding trouble, I wouldn't be worried."
