Chapter 349: I want them gone

"Great, you are finally home; we have been waiting for you."

Chi Lian almost squealed when her mother grabbed her and pulled her to her grandmother’s bedroom forcefully. She had just reached home and not even had a moment’s rest.

Her plan to bathe and then meet old tiger who had gone to do some recon on the Danzhi gallery but this was apparently coming first.

"What do you think happened?" In her mind, she asked T4.

"I don’t know what it is but it’s probably related to the locked door seeing how anxious your mother is."

Her grandmother’s bedroom smelled like sage, it smelled as if someone had recently conducted a cleansing ritual.

Chi Lian was familiar with this smell. In her teenage years, she used to have nightmares about her parents and she would wake up sweaty and shivering. Her friend had taken her to a ’psychic’ that Chi Lian was convinced was a crook and the psychic gave her sage for burning and cleansing her aura.

She had to burn it every night before bed to chase away the nightmares in her dreams. In the end, after two weeks of consistent use, she threw the sage out because it did not work.

As it turned out she was right about the psychic, she was a crook and the nightmares stayed until she went to see an actual psychologist.

She wondered if her grandmother had been convinced by someone to use sage to chase nightmares away or cleanse aura. But aside from that, Qi Qing and Danda were also in the room which poked her curiosity.

"Grandma, what’s going on?"

"Chi-Chi, you will not believe what has been going on under our own roof." Her mother answered instead of her grandmother.

"What has been going on?" Chi Lian asked.

"Qi Qing, you tell her." Grandma An looked at Qi Qing and encouraged her to talk.

Qi Qing stepped forward and said, "Young miss, ever since we moved here there have been a few squabbles among the maids. We, the maids who followed you from B city are being looked down on by the maids the old madam recommended from here in the capital."

"What!!! mention them right now?" Chi Lian was all fired up.

"Not all of them young miss, just a specific group of maids, three of them that are led by Biyu." Qi Qing explained.

Chi Lian searched her mind for the face of this Biyu.

"Is she the tall one who wears heavy make up sneakily and always bends over unnecessarily?" Chi Lian asked with a disgusted look on her face.

It was not because she hated the maid she was describing; it was because of the mannerisms of this particular maid.

Make up was not forbidden among the maids but it had to be minimal. This was one of the rules laid down by the old madam Jun. This maid however occasionally flaunted the rules and wore bright lipstick and heavy powder and even fake eyelashes.

Every time Muyang, one of her brothers or Muyang’s brother’s walked into the room where she was cleaning, she was quick to drop something on the floor and bend over.

Chi Lian had been planning to complain to the old madam about this maid’s unbecoming behavior over the weekend because she seemed to be on a husband finding mission or she had intentions to become a mistress.

"Yes, young miss." Qi Qing agreed readily," The maid you are describing is Biyu; she said that there is a pecking order among the maids and the B city maids were at the bottom.

Xuewu and I used to be in charge of cleaning the young master’s bedrooms but Biyu is in charge of the schedule now and she changed it and assigned herself to that role. At first I thought she just wanted to become more valuable to the madam and master just as I became valuable to the young miss but then I noticed something else.

Biyu used to stay in the oldest young master’s room for hours when she was supposed to be cleaning it. One time I peeped inside and saw her sleeping on his bed. I may be mistaken but a few days ago when she passed by me she smelled like the young master. His perfume to be exact, she smelled like the young master’s perfume.

So when I heard that someone had locked the young master’s girlfriend inside a bathroom, I immediately suspected her."

"So all this has been going on in the house and we have not been aware of anything? How is it possible?" Mama Chi asked in an alarmed voice. "And how dare that coquettish girl covet my son to the point of perverting his bed? Who knows what else she has been doing in it besides sleeping? We have to burn the Wei’s sheets, mattress and the bed, just burn everything." She shouted.

"Mother, please calm down." Chi Lian held her mother’s arms and urged her to relax but mama Chi was like a hornet whose nest had been destroyed.

"No, how can I calm down? I want to face that crazy witch right now; I will rip out all her hair and teach her a lesson."

"Nuo, please calm down, you are going to alert everyone." Grandma An urged her daughter.

"Mother, how can you all be calm in such a matter? I thought these trained and educated maids from the capital were a good thing but they have proven to be no different from trash. Did you hear what Qi Qing said mother? Three maids have joined hands to take over my house, if one of them is targeting Chi Wei, what about the others, for all we know they are targeting Chi Rui and Chi Zimo too. I will not stand by and let them accomplish their evil plans."

Mama Chi’s rant ended with her heaving furiously.

"Are you calmer Nuo?" grandma An asked her daughter extremely worried.

"No," Mama Chi said with determination, "I am just taking a break before I resume. I am going to fire them all right now; I want them out of house before their wings grow bold enough for them to occupy my bed. Yu-Yu cried mother, she is such a strong girl but she cried when I gave her snacks today, apologized and explained the situation.

I will not let Yu-Yu marry into this family with such a maid still serving us. What if she poisons her? What if Yu-Yu gives birth and that Bizu kills the child?"

"I think she is called Biyu mother." Chi Lian corrected mama Chi.

Mama Chi frowned at her daughter unhappily and said, "Whatever she is called, I want her and her Posey out of my house today."

"Posey!!!" Chi Lian repeated the word and laughed.

Her mother was really livid to be using an English word whose meaning she probably didn’t know.

"Nuo, we can’t just fire them without taking proper measurements first. When servants are tossed out harshly there is no guarantee that they will not spill the secrets of the family." Grandma An explained to mama Chi. "We need to approach this issue carefully. I will speak to your father and Madam Jun who hired the company which sent them."

As they were planning, Chi Lian was wondering how much memory wiping serum she would need to give those maids to eliminate the memories of the last few months that they had lived and worked in there house.
