Chapter 403 - 403 Presentable Enough for His Young Master
But the main point now was that her subordinates were all useless. They could not even bring anyone here.
“Yes, Old Madam. I’ve had people keep an eye on them.”
The maid replied, but she was muttering internally about how the people accompanying the two boys were not to be trifled with. Their people could not bring them here.
However, since the Old Madam had already instructed her, she had to send someone to keep an eye on them. She could only watch from afar and wait for an opportunity.
Opportunities, on the other hand, would be difficult to come by. The Prince and Princess were far warier of the Old Madam than they were of thieves. How could they give the Old Madam the opportunity?
Upon hearing the maid’s response, the Old Madam stopped paying attention to the two children and asked calmly, “Xiao Ye’er is coming soon too, right?”
Xue Ling’s death meant that she lacked a confidant. She had to find someone with status who could help her. It would be inconvenient to rely on only maids.
Hence, she immediately sent someone to her parents’ home to seek out someone after learning of Xue Ling’s death.
“Miss Xue Ye’er will be here in a few days, Old Madam. However, she has always lived in the countryside. After she enters the Prince Zhan Yun Residence, we’ll need to find two aunties to teach her for a while to make her presentable,” the maid reminded.
She had no idea which branch of the Xue family Xue Ye’er belonged to, but she had lived in the countryside her entire life.
Fortunately, she had heard that Xue Ye’er was quite attractive. That was why the Old Madam was interested in her and even sent Ling Ye to personally bring her here.
The maid wondered what kind of good deeds that young lady had accumulated in her previous life for the Old Madam to fancy her.
“Of course. You make the arrangements.”
The Old Madam nodded. It was good as long as she had someone by her side. That way, she could do more things.
“Remember, bring her here after you’ve taught her well. Don’t implicate me,” she reminded the maid.
She did not want to see a wild girl from the countryside—it would pollute her eyes. The girl had to be groomed well before she could be brought here.
“I understand,” the maid replied.
…
“Young Master, if you really want to open a school, we must renovate this place. It might take two months.”
In the library, Ding Nuo narrowed his eyes as he thought about how to renovate the school to make it presentable enough for his young master.
“Shang’er Hall owns a few hundred acres of land nearby. You are free to renovate as much as you want, but… Young Master, the majority of the capital’s wealthy children are not talented. There aren’t many people who can truly do anything. Are you certain you want to recruit them to Ding Nuo Academy?”
With Ding Nuo Academy’s reputation as a school with many capable graduates, many people would come to study if they renovated the school and reduced the school fees.
However, he did not want to see them. The extravagant children of nobles would not be here to learn. They’d be here to have fun.
“I’ll find a way to deal with them then.” An Jiuyue smiled.
She would be useless if she could not even handle these second-generation heirs.
“They don’t have to be in the old facility. We can build two new buildings next to this. Separate the nobles from the commoners,” she said.
