They just didnāt 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 couldnāt be possible! Who would want those etiquette teachers? Their family wasnāt short on money anyway.
"Take them away." Steward Cao waved his hand, and two bailiffs stepped forward.
Yang Chuxia hadnāt 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 Ziāan also slowly strolled to Yang Chuxiaās side.
Steward Cao looked at the young man who had just spoken and felt quite unhappy.
However, considering Yang Chuxiaās good looks and remembering Lord Prefectās instructions, he suppressed his anger.
"Naturally, weāre 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, sheāll be excellent."
"Pffft..." Yang Chuxia couldnāt help herself, and said to Ye Ziāan, "Husband, do you think she believes weāre 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 donāt even know where the gate to the imperial palace is?"
"Also, Iāve heard of selecting palace maids and beautiful women, but never nannies." Yang Chuxia continued, "Arenāt nannies chosen based on behavior? What do looks have to do with it? Look at our village, apart from a few unattractive people, isnāt everyone else ordinary? As long as they have good etiquette, they should be suitable as nannies, right?"
Ye Ziāan said, "Wife, I think thereās 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. Iād 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 Shenās 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 wouldnāt admit it right now.
"Husband, what should I do if my hands itch?" Yang Chuxia sweetly looked at Ye Ziāan. But Ziāan responded irrelevantly, "Are you more comfortable with a broom or a kitchen knife?"
"Pffft..." Those who knew them couldnāt 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.
