Chapter 279 The Beginning

"The master used to be unwilling to see anyone in your house who didn't know, but now he not only asks you to have a family dinner, but also talks to you, he must have found out about you." Hui'er analyzed clearly, Looks very serious.

"If I were to talk about the people in this mansion, Aunt Bai, you are the most honest and kind-hearted. Aunt Liu is a beastly person. Everyone in the mansion knows it, but because of the master's preference for her, no one dares to offend her. Now the master is again The master must have noticed that he brought back the young and beautiful Gu Bank, and fought fiercely with Aunt Liu. So at this moment, I found that Aunt Bai is the only one who can take on the heavy responsibility in the mansion."

Lin Chuqian raised her eyebrows, and asked with a half-smile, "What heavy responsibility can I take on in this mansion?"

"Naturally, it's the position of the head of the house." Hui'er didn't notice Lin Chuqian's subtle eyes, and said her thoughts on her own. "Now Madam is locked up in the backyard, and Aunt Liu's housekeeper is in a mess. If the master is still awake, he will naturally know that you are the only one in the house who can bear the responsibility! Could it be... isn't it?"

Hui'er got carried away with what she said, but when she turned her face, she found that Lin Chuqian's face was slightly cold, and her eyes were deep and gloomy, and Sheng'er next to her was also very serious with a straight face.

Startled, she asked cautiously. "I, did I say something wrong?"

"Hui'er." Lin Chuqian sighed softly, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Don't say such things in the future, no matter whether it's in the house or outside, don't mention a word again, unless you hate your life. Life is too comfortable, life is too long!"

"I...I..." Hui'er was startled, and said falteringly: "Aren't I happy for you?"

"There's nothing to be happy about." Lin Chuqian didn't want to scare her intentionally, but now in this mansion, it's impossible not to be careful everywhere! "Don't care about what happened in the mansion, and don't care about whether other people's lives are going well or not. We just close the door and live our own lives. Don't think about it blindly."

"Okay!" Hui'er lowered her head, and began to reflect on whether she was wrong.

Lin Chuqian thought she understood, and just breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second, Huier's eyelids twitched when she was shocked by another show.

"But today when I went to the kitchen, I ran into a quarrel between Aunt Zhou and Dong Ju. While watching the excitement, Fei Qing told me that the master intends to hand over the housekeeping to you, Aunt Bai."

"What did you say!?" Lin Chuqian stood up in fright, turned her head to look outside the house, and confirmed that there was no other trace except the endless night and the singing of cicadas.

She stepped forward and took Hui'er's arm, and asked in a low voice, "Tell me what happened again carefully."

Seeing her serious expression, Hui'er couldn't help being taken aback, and told her the whole story without any concealment.

Ever since Aunt Liu became housekeeper, all the maids under her had their tails raised to the sky.

Every now and then, she would go to the kitchen and ask Aunt Zhou, the cook, to make all kinds of food for Aunt Liu to taste.

It happened that Dong Ju overheard the complaint yesterday, so she went up and scolded him without saying a word.

Aunt Zhou was originally not suitable for someone who wanted to be with her, and only one dog in the entire He Mansion with a bad temper dared to get close to her.

This will be pointed at the nose and scolded by people, so naturally they throw away the spatula and go back. The two scolded in the kitchen where people come and go, pouring out all the ugly words.

Aunt Zhou was already upset, but when she got angry, she told all the nasty things that Aunt Liu's servants did afterward.

What bullying, domineering in the mansion, and some people who go out to buy goods embezzle public funds, shoddy and so on.

Hui'er was watching the lively meeting, but Fei Qing at the side dragged her to a corner, and pulled her to say the polite words.

It was nothing more than how to belittle Aunt Liu's narrow-mindedness, jealousy and lack of tolerance, and to praise Lin Chuqian for her generosity and tolerance, and how she has the air of being a housewife.

Hui'er was stunned for a while, and couldn't agree with it at the moment, so she replied a few words meaningly.

Probably Fei Qing felt that she was innocent and easy to fool, so she pulled her to be very intimate, vaguely implying that her master was also very dissatisfied with Aunt Liu's housekeeper, and was planning to hand over the power of housekeeping to Aunt Bai.

Huier was ecstatic when she heard this, and felt that she was about to stand up and become the master.

After happily listening to Fei Qing's words, she came back, looking forward to Lin Chuqian coming back to tell her the good news!

Who knew that just after she said the beginning, she only saw two serious faces.

Lin Chuqian frowned after hearing this.

Crimson?

She rarely came into contact with this girl, but she knew that this girl, Fei Qing, used to be in Aunt Liu's house, and she couldn't even enter the main house because she did some cleaning work on weekdays.

Later, when Xi Nian was promoted to be his concubine, he deliberately asked Aunt Liu to beg her. At that time, Aunt Liu deliberately made things difficult for her, and finally made trouble in front of He Rencheng.

From this point of view, Fei Qing belongs to Aunt Nian!

Aunt Nian also hinted at the unfavorable things about Aunt Liu's housekeeper today, it seems that it is not a coincidence!
Just what does she want to do?
Lin Chuqian was a little puzzled, and frowned and said, "Hui'er, if there are people who come to talk to you or instigate you to do something in the future, you must be worried, don't agree with you, and don't be teased by others in a few words. Go. If something happens, I can't protect you."

After hearing this, Hui'er felt sorry for her, and couldn't help being afraid. "You mean, someone asked Fei Qing to tell me specifically, in order to harm me?"

More than trying to harm Hui'er?

If someone with a heart heard their conversation and passed it to Aunt Liu, with her temperament, it would be no wonder she didn't torment Lin Chuqian to death.

Lin Chuqian explained the stakes to Hui'er, but the latter still didn't know much about it, so she was helpless, so she didn't bother to continue talking.

Zuo Huier just needs to remember not to be forced to do unnecessary things by others.

The more Huier thought about it, the more afraid she became. She foolishly believed Fei Qing's words. If it wasn't for the few maids she usually gets close to, if she accidentally told them, she might be in a lot of trouble.

"Actually, there is no need to be too nervous. We just need to live as usual." Lin Chuqian was afraid that it would be bad for her to think too much, so she put on a smiling face and said a few words of comfort.

It was getting late, she chatted with her for a few words and then went back to the house to wash up.

It was getting dark outside the window, and the oil lamp in front of me was emitting a bean-sized light, shaking weakly, as if it would go out at any moment.

Lin Chuqian sat under the window and recounted the recent events.

After He Rencheng came back, although many dirty things under Aunt Liu's housekeeping were slowly revealed, for example, the servants received kickbacks, and the steward in the warehouse stole a few small things to pawn outside.

The ingredients and utensils in the kitchen were shoddy, and Aunt Liu was spending money like running water, watching the accountant's daily reconciliation of the debts, and so on.

At the beginning, it was buried by the servants, so He Rencheng knew some tricks, but the house has been clean since ancient times, and it is inevitable that the servants need to clean up some oil and water, so he didn't care about it.
