The mistress of the Hou family worked herself to death, and she did not serve after her rebirth

Just like before, as soon as Gu Lanzhi entered the shop, she acted like a master, shouting and yelling. She first picked up a servant for no reason and gave him a scolding, and then asked him to take out all the popular goods in the shop.

He turned around, changed his color, and called other officials and their wives to come and see.

If an official's wife said something was good, she would ask the maid who came with her to collect it. She would not give some to the other women until the maid's hands were full.

But in the past, the shopkeepers and clerks in the shop had no taste and watched her make choices as if they were cutting their own meat, which annoyed her a lot.

But today, they seemed to be more sensible. Not only did they not show disdain, they were also very attentive in introducing things to her and even praised her for looking good in them.

Naturally, she would not miss the opportunity and took some more.

She didn't stop until she had put all the ones she liked in the shop on her hair and the little maid couldn't take any more of them, and she had also taken all the ones who came with her, so she gave up.

"Okay, let's stop here for today. You have been sensible today, so these are given to you as rewards."

"Thank you, Auntie. By the way, Auntie, if there are new products in the shop in the future, should we inform the government?"

"nature."

Gu Lanzhi was surprised for a moment, and felt that the people here were so sensible today that it made her a little creepy. Coincidentally, her eyelids twitched again, but she changed her mind and thought that these servants were probably scared by her scolding, so they became obedient.

Today, she had earned enough face. She adjusted her hair full of pearls and jade, which were so heavy that she felt dizzy. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and was about to leave.

But he was hurriedly stopped by the shopkeeper.

"Aunt, wait a moment."

"What's the matter?"

Gu Lanzhi was a little displeased, and her expression immediately darkened.

"Auntie, for our small business, shall we settle the bill?"

The shopkeeper took the bill and bowed to Gu Lanzhi respectfully, but his voice was deliberately raised. In the past, they had to bear with it no matter how unwilling they were because she was the master's aunt. But now, they had a new boss, and the boss said that they had to settle the bill, especially this one.

"Open your eyes, you blind man. This is the shop of the Marquis' Mansion..."

Gu Lanzhi's face tightened and she cursed immediately.

"Oh, blame me, blame me. I was so busy getting jewelry for Madam Chu that I forgot to remind you that this shop is no longer owned by the Marquis' Mansion."

"What?! What did you say? You..." Gu Lanzhi looked a little confused.

"I won't lie. Just before you came in, our shop had already changed owners. So, ma'am, please take a look at this bill?" The shopkeeper had a smile on his face, but his words made Gu Lanzhi's face suddenly change.

"You, you should stop..."

"Madam, if you don't believe me, we can report it to the police, or do you want to take it for free in broad daylight?"

The smile on the shopkeeper's face gradually faded. In the past, their master was the Marquis' Mansion, so they were not afraid of anyone. The person in front of them was just relying on their relationship with the marriage to get whatever he wanted. They were just trying to give the other person something to show for their money.

The shopkeeper's face changed and the clerk secretly blocked the door to the shop.

It seems like he won't let you leave unless you pay the bill.

"What are you doing? In broad daylight, are you trying to force the official's family to stay?!"

The officials' and their families who came with them immediately changed their expressions and started to clamor.

"My dear sir, you are flattering me. Even if you give me a hundred guts, I still don't dare. However, our boss said that after looking at the previous account books, the shop seems to have been opened specifically for Madam Chu in recent years. Even the boss doesn't take it for free. It's no wonder that the previous boss couldn't run the business and had to sell it at a low price. The boss also said that the shop can sell on credit to other people, but not to Madam Chu, who has a criminal record."

"How dare you bully me like this? Who is your boss? Shout it out. You bully officials' wives, do you think there is no one in my mansion?!"

Gu Lanzhi was so angry that she started yelling at the top of her voice.

"Our boss's surname is Chen, but he is very busy. He also said that if Madam Chu doesn't pay, it's okay. We can just hand the bill to the Chu family when the time comes. It will be the same."

"You dare."

Gu Lanzhi was anxious. Her husband's family never liked her extravagance. If they knew about it, they would scold her again. Last time, when the incident with Brother Zhou became a big deal, her husband's family were very dissatisfied with her. Her husband even took Brother Zhou away to be raised by his mother-in-law. If they knew about it, no, it would not work anyway.

"Forget it, you, you give the bill to the Marquis' Mansion."

Gu Lanzhi looked at the officials' wives who came with her and showed contempt on their faces. She could not help it and could only beg in a low voice.

"Yes, is it sent to the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion?"

The shopkeeper already knew that the other party would do this, so he couldn't help but ask a question.

"My mother is old and has not taken care of the household for a long time. You should send her to Pei Jiuniang, the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion." Gu Lanzhi deliberately emphasized the four words "mistress of the Marquis' Mansion". It was not because she respected Pei Jiuniang very much, but to remind her that since Pei Jiuniang became the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, she must do a good job.

Anyway, my mother said that the Marquis' Mansion will always be her strong backing.

"That won't work. The previous boss has also said that she has now relieved herself of the heavy responsibility of being the housekeeper of the Marquis's Mansion. It seems that the affairs of the aunt should not be..."

"You, what did you say? Pei Jiuniang?! How dare she?!"

Gu Lanzhi was really anxious now. Although she looked down on Pei Jiuniang, she also knew the many benefits of being in charge of the household affairs of the Marquis' Mansion. In the hands of her mother, the Marquis' Mansion had long been just an empty shell. Even though her brother Gu Tingzhi later made contributions and the Marquis' Mansion began to restore its former glory, the things rewarded by the emperor were not enough to support the huge expenses of the Marquis' Mansion. Her mother secretly told her that the Marquis' Mansion had been supported by the dowry brought by Pei Jiuniang over the years.

If she doesn't care, how will her mother live in the future?

How does she live?

Pei Jiuniang, does she want to embarrass the Marquis's Mansion?

The more Gu Lanzhi thought about it, the more serious the matter seemed to her. However, she was stopped by the short-sighted servants. She originally wanted to act big and give the money first, but she didn't expect that such a small thing would cost two thousand taels. She was so angry that she immediately pulled off the hairpin on her head and threw it in front of them.

"What a rubbish, I don't even look at it."

Her maidservant also had a bad temper. She threw everything that could no longer be picked up on the ground and deliberately stepped on it a few times.

The shopkeeper and his servants were so angry that their faces turned red.

"You must pay for the damage today.

"Who saw it? What? You still want to force the sale? Someone come..."

The other officials' wives saw that Gu Lanzhi was going to make a big fuss, and they looked down on her. They didn't want to get involved in the muddy water, so they could only consider themselves unlucky and paid for it themselves. Before leaving, they didn't forget to tease Gu Lanzhi, "Sister Chu, don't act like a big shot when you can't pay. You almost made us all embarrassed."

Hearing this, Gu Lanzhi became even angrier. Seeing that the shopkeeper and his assistant were still trying to stop her from leaving, she was so angry that she directly ordered the maids and old women to take action together.

"You're not allowed to leave. Someone, smash it for me."
