Chapter 495: 495 Aunt Zhou
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“No need to explain. I don’t want to hear your explanation either.” Tan Ron walked forward quickly.
Tao Yue chased after her unwillingly. “Are you that close with your friends?”
“This has nothing to do with you.” Tan Rou didn’t want to waste any more time with Tao Yue. She wanted to get into her room and experience the happiness of owning a villa.
“Are you confident in today’s physics compet.i.tion?” Tao Yue asked another question. She really wanted to know Tan Ron’s physics results.
“Are you confident enough in yourself?” Tan Rou asked Tao Yue.
“I definitely hope that you are. If Eldest Cousin does well, our family will have two trophies.” Tao Yue said.
“There’s only one winner. Who do you think will win the trophy?” Tan Rou asked.
Tao Yue almost blurted out, ‘I’ll definitely get first place.’ However, there were a few servants behind her, so she couldn’t ruin her image as a good girl. “No matter who gets first place, it’s still a piece of good news for our family.”
“Indeed.” Tan Rou nodded slightly. “However, the physics test for today’s individual compet.i.tion is very difficult. It will be difficult to get a high score.”
Hearing Tan Ron’s words, Tao Yue was relieved. The questions for the individual compet.i.tion this afternoon were indeed difficult. She wasn’t sure if two of them were correct.
Tan Rou said that on purpose because she didn’t want to argue with Tao Yue about this. Tao Yue just wanted to hear the news that Tan Rou did not do well, so she answered it casually. Anyway, the exam was over, so it didn’t matter what she said.
“Good evening, Miss!” An older woman stood in front of the building. She greeted Tan Rou first, then looked at Tao Yue and said coldly, “Good evening, Second Miss!”
“Aunt Zhou?” Tao Yue was surprised to see Aunt Zhou. “Aren’t you taking care of Grandma at this time? Why are you here?”
In the last century, there was still the custom of rich families raising maids. Aunt Zhou was the dowry maid of Grandma Tao. No one knew her name, only that her original surname was Zhou. For so many years, Aunt Zhou was only responsible for taking care of Grandma Tao. Even Grandpa Tao could not order her around.
“Ma’am asked me to take care of Young Miss.” Aunt Zhou smiled. “I will be taking care of the young miss for the period of time that you’re here in the Capital.”
“Thank you, Aunt Zhou. However, I don’t need anyone to take care of me. You should go back and take care of Grandma.”
Aunt Zhou insisted, “Old Madam sent me to take care of you, so I must take good care of you. If young miss thinks that I’m too old, you can tell Old Madam about it. I won’t have any objections.”
How could Tan Rou dare to despise her? “No, no, Aunt Zhou. If you could come over to take care of me, I’ll be more than happy.”
Aunt Zhou was very happy to hear that. “Thank you for your understanding, Miss.”
Tao Yue was very jealous. She didn’t want Aunt Zhou to take care of Tan Rou. She was Grandma Tao’s dowry maid, but not only was she a dowry maid, she was also the butler of the entire Tao family manor. Many things in the manor were arranged by Aunt Zhou. For example, if the manor wanted to add things, or if the kitchen wanted to buy a different vegetables today, Aunt Zhou had to agree to it. It could be said that Aunt Zhou’s status in the Tao family was higher than Tao Yue’s father’s.
“Aunt Zhou, if you come here to take care of my cousin, who will take care of Grandma? Besides, there are so many people at home,” Tao Yue said. “Why should we bother you to take care of her?”
Aunt Zhou glanced at her indifferently and said, “Since the old madam sent me to take care of the young miss, she must have her own intentions.”
Tao Yue was a little afraid of Aunt Zhou. When she was a child, she was not sensible and was scolded by Aunt Zhou. At that time, her parents did not stand up for her. Instead, they had asked her to apologize to Aunt Zhou.
The young Tao Yue thought that Aunt Zhou was a servant and she was the eldest daughter, so she didn’t apologize to Aunt Zhou. Immediately after, she was sent to another courtyard by Grandma Tao for a month. No matter who begged for mercy on her behalf, it did not work.
From then on, Tao Yue was a little afraid of Aunt Zhou. The moment she saw Aunt Zhou looking at her with that indifferent gaze, she felt afraid.
“Grandma is so good to Sister.” Tao Yue lowered her eyes. “But without Aunt Zhou, Grandma may not be used to it. That wouldn’t be something that you would want right, cousin?”
Tan Rou said, “1 will only listen to Grandma’s arrangements. Since Grandma asked Aunt Zhou to come, she must have her own intentions. If you have any objections, go and tell Grandma on your own..”
