They just didn’t dare to speak loudly, only whispering things like how both Yang sisters got chosen.
As for the Yang family, they were dumbfounded when they heard that both Yang Chuxia and Ruoqiu had been selected.
Especially Ms. Wang, who had just married her daughter off, this couldn’t be possible! Who would want those etiquette teachers? Their family wasn’t short on money anyway.
"Take them away." Steward Cao waved his hand, and two bailiffs stepped forward.
Yang Chuxia hadn’t said much, just smiling and watching the whole time.
Now that they were leaving, she felt it was time to say or do something.
"Take us where?" Yang Chuxia leisurely asked Nurse Yun. Today, she was wearing a set of bright red clothes that Old Mu had sent her from Capital City, along with high-quality jewelry. With her stunning eyebrows and eyes, rouge on her face, and a smile on her lips, she looked fetching no matter how one looked at her.
"Yeah, where are you taking my wife?" Ye Zi’an also slowly strolled to Yang Chuxia’s side.
Steward Cao looked at the young man who had just spoken and felt quite unhappy.
However, considering Yang Chuxia’s good looks and remembering Lord Prefect’s instructions, he suppressed his anger.
"Naturally, we’re going to the prefecture together!"
Nurse Yun chuckled and said, "As we said earlier, not only are we choosing maids, but also nannies. This young lady has an outstanding appearance and figure. After some training, she’ll be excellent."
"Pffft..." Yang Chuxia couldn’t help herself, and said to Ye Zi’an, "Husband, do you think she believes we’re all stupid? Selecting etiquette teachers? From what I know, only senior palace maids with top moral character and proper behavior can become etiquette teachers. Are they selecting people like us who don’t even know where the gate to the imperial palace is?"
"Also, I’ve heard of selecting palace maids and beautiful women, but never nannies." Yang Chuxia continued, "Aren’t nannies chosen based on behavior? What do looks have to do with it? Look at our village, apart from a few unattractive people, isn’t everyone else ordinary? As long as they have good etiquette, they should be suitable as nannies, right?"
Ye Zi’an said, "Wife, I think there’s something fishy about this. Are these two people swindlers?"
"Nonsense, nonsense!" Steward Cao felt somewhat guilty about carrying out this task. Now that his cover had been blown, he grew even more furious.
He ordered the two bailiffs, "Arrest this troublemaker and take the others away. I’d like to see who in Funan dares to defy our Lord Prefect!"
"Yes!" The two bailiffs were indeed bailiffs and showed their waist tokens. "Take a good look, this is the waist token from the county office. We are here to assist Steward Cao in selecting people on County Magistrate Shen’s order. Anyone who resists will be thrown into prison." They also flashed their big knives for good measure.
Yang Chuxia, of course, recognized the waist token, but she wouldn’t admit it right now.
"Husband, what should I do if my hands itch?" Yang Chuxia sweetly looked at Ye Zi’an. But Zi’an responded irrelevantly, "Are you more comfortable with a broom or a kitchen knife?"
"Pffft..." Those who knew them couldn’t help but laugh at their conversation.
Yang Chuxia replied, "Husband, we should be gentle. How could we use such crude things? I think fists are just fine." With that, she threw a punch.
