The old lady looked at this scene, with a hint of admiration in her eyes.
Although this granddaughter-in-law is young, she has a strong character, is decisive in her actions, has the demeanor of a lady from a noble family, and also has the chivalrous spirit of a woman from the wilderness, which is quite similar to her when she was young.
She turned to Liang Yuehua and said, "Yuehua, as an elder, how can you be so disrespectful to Ah Zhi? Be careful with your words in the future."
Liang Yuehua had no choice but to lower her head and responded unwillingly.
"Okay, stop standing and sit down to talk." The old lady waved her hand for everyone to sit down.
"Aji, you don't have to take today's incident to heart. Yuehua is straightforward and often speaks without thinking. You just got married and are not familiar with many things. If you don't understand something, just come and ask me."
Li Wanji was grateful and bowed again: "Thank you for your teachings, Grandma. I will definitely keep it in mind."
Everyone sat down one after another.
Li Wanji also sat back next to the old lady, but her eyes never left Liang Yuehua.
Liang Yuehua felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by her. She suppressed her dissatisfaction and changed the subject: "Mother, why don't you see Qing'er today?"
When Ximen Qing was mentioned, the old lady smiled proudly: "Qing'er has been busy with official duties recently and left early this morning. But Yuehua, you should worry less about Qing'er's affairs."
Liang Yuehua felt a little embarrassed by what the old lady said. She smiled awkwardly and said no more.
Her concern for Ximen Qing was only superficial, and was even mixed with a bit of jealousy.
Ximen Qing has been gifted since childhood, and is highly regarded by his family and his master. He has risen rapidly all the way and was even given the title of "Rakshasa". He also controls the dark power of the entire family.
Although her own son was also quite talented, he always lacked the brilliance of Ximen Qing.
This made her always feel inferior to others in the family, and she inevitably felt a little unfair.
The most important thing is that the first wife was born with the Ximen family's Taotie bloodline. The power of this bloodline is extremely strong and is the most relied upon by the Ximen family throughout the generations.
The offspring she gave birth to were just ordinary monster bloodlines, which could not be compared with the bloodlines of ancient mythical beasts like Taotie.
This blood difference greatly limited Liang Yuehua's status and influence in the family.
Although she was unwilling, she had no choice.
After all, in the face of absolute strength, any calculations and conspiracies seem pale and powerless. I am afraid that their second branch can only look up to the first branch in this life.
However, the appearance of Li Wanji gave her a glimmer of hope.
The princess who was brought in for the marriage looked like she had difficulty giving birth. If she could not give birth to a child with Taotie bloodline, then Ximen Qing's position in the family would be shaken.
And Liang Yuehua will not easily forget the humiliation of receiving a slap today.
Although she didn't dare to attack Li Wanji directly again, she was already thinking about how to create some trouble for this little bitch and make her life in Fengquan less comfortable.
Shangguan Huajin raised his hand and an exquisite brocade box appeared in his palm.
This brocade box is full of brilliance and is inlaid with various gems, sparkling with charming light. It is obvious at first glance that it is a priceless treasure.
"Aji, from now on you are the mistress of this mansion, and the important task of managing this house will be handed over to you." Shangguan Huajin handed the brocade box to Li Wanji with a smile.
Li Wanji was slightly startled, then she respectfully took the brocade box, opened it, and saw a golden token lying inside.
The token is engraved with a ferocious Taotie mythical beast surrounded by a pattern of clouds and mist, and the back is engraved with the five large Chinese characters "Xi Men Fu Yin·Qing" with powerful strokes and extraordinary momentum.
"This is the seal of the Prince Qing's Mansion." Shangguan Huajin explained, "From now on, you can mobilize all matters of the mansion with this token."
"Mother, this..." Li Wanji looked at the token in her hand, feeling both surprised and happy.
She didn't expect to get such an important token so soon. This meant that she had truly become the mistress of Ximen Mansion and had the power to manage this huge mansion.
"Mother, I am very worried. I am new here and I am afraid I will not be able to handle this important task."
Li Wanji pretended to refuse, but it was a way of retreating to advance, so that Shangguan Huajin and everyone else would see her humility and prudence, and would be more willing to hand over the power of the mansion to her.
Shangguan Huajin chuckled and shook his head, saying gently: "Azhi, you don't have to worry. You are Qing'er's wife, so everything in this mansion is naturally yours. Besides, you are smart and can definitely handle this position."
"Take it. I have kept this token for Qing'er for many years. Now it's time to give it to you."
Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Li Wanji took the token with both hands and put it solemnly in her arms.
Liang Yuehua, who was standing by, saw this scene and a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes.
She thought to herself: This token was handed over to this little bitch so quickly, won't she be able to walk sideways in Fengquan in the future? No, I have to think of a way to not let this little bitch succeed so easily.
"Sister-in-law, she is just a new bride. Isn't it inappropriate for you to hand over the power of housekeeper to her so easily?" Liang Yuehua spoke tentatively, trying to create some obstacles for Li Wanji.
Shangguan Huajin glanced at Liang Yuehua lightly, a little unhappy: "Yuehua, are you teaching me how to do things?"
Liang Yuehua's heart trembled at Shangguan Huajin's cold gaze, and she soon started crying again, "Mother, a junior slapped me, and now I'm reminding my eldest sister-in-law with good intentions, but she blames me like this, I..."
"So the first branch of their family is naturally noble, and we, the second branch, deserve to be inferior and cannot even say a word of fairness?" Liang Yuehua said as she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, as if she had really suffered a great injustice.
However, the old lady did not show any sympathy or dissatisfaction as she wished, but interrupted her coldly.
"Yuehua, I'm not dead yet. Are you here to mourn for me on such a happy day? If you feel wronged, you can just go back to your yard. No one will stop you."
Liang Yuehua felt even more aggrieved when she saw that no one stood on her side, but she also knew that crying in front of the old lady was useless, so she could only suppress her dissatisfaction and keep her head down in silence.
Shangguan Huajin felt a little unhappy when he saw Liang Yuehua's frustrated look.
This second wife always loves to stir up trouble, disturbing the peace of the family. But for the sake of her second uncle, she can only tolerate it for the time being.
She turned to Li Wanji and said softly, "Aji, from now on you will be the mistress of this house and you will naturally have the right to manage its affairs. If you have any difficulties, just come to me."
Li Wanji was grateful and bowed again to express her gratitude: "Thank you, mother. I will definitely live up to your trust."
The old lady then said to everyone, "Today is a happy day for our family, and everyone should be happy. Yuehua, you should control your temper and stop causing trouble all the time."
Although Liang Yuehua was not convinced in her heart, she did not dare to say anything more and could only bow her head and agree.
Next, everyone started to enjoy breakfast.
Li Wanji sat next to the old lady, occasionally chatting with her and sometimes observing the people present.
She found that everyone in the mansion had their own thoughts, but for such a big family with thousands of years of history, some power struggles were normal.
