Three families hire each other, the mistress of the marquisate accidentally offends the treacherous

In the jewelry shop, Sun Xiaoxiao's eyes widened.

I just watched Jiang Qingyue walk away.

The whole person seemed to be stunned and couldn't utter a word.

When the figure could no longer be seen and the voices of pointing and talking around became louder and louder, Sun Xiaoxiao finally reacted.

For a moment: shame, anger, confusion, grievance, shame, unwillingness... all kinds of emotions filled her mind. She just looked at so many people watching. She covered her face in shame and anger, burst into tears, and ran out of the shop.

The maid hurriedly followed, and the crowd watching the excitement behind them instantly dispersed, and noise broke out.

At this time, Jiang Qingyue had already arrived at the garment shop, and Xiao Wu was already waiting outside the door.

After getting on the carriage, Lu Huan breathed a sigh of relief. She looked behind the curtain and saw no one coming. Then she looked at Jiang Qingyue beside her:

"Madam, Miss Sun didn't catch up."

She was really afraid that Miss Sun would follow them and cause trouble on the street.

Jiang Qingyue hummed and folded her sleeves:

"Bully the weak and fear the strong."

She has understood since childhood that good people are often bullied, but she doesn't know how to put it into practice.

The sage said: There is a huge gap between knowing and doing.

She didn't understand before, but now she does.

After slapping Sun Xiaoxiao three times, he made her realize that blindly compromising and tolerating would only make those who bullied her become more aggressive.

It turns out it's so easy to fight back.

From now on, she will never let herself be wronged again.

She stretched out her hand and looked down in a trance. Lu Huan held it with a handkerchief: "Madam, does it hurt?"

"It's okay, I'm happy."

"Madam, I was so scared just now. I was afraid that Miss Sun would hurt you without any care."

"No, for this kind of person, the more powerful others are, the less she dares to act presumptuously. Even if she goes crazy, there is still Da Wu."

After hearing these words, Lu Huan felt relieved.

Although the lady was angry, she knew what was going on.

“Madam, I have to say, those slaps just now were really satisfying.

"This Miss Sun is too outrageous. She pestered the prince before, and then bit the lady like a wild dog.

"It was hard to keep things quiet for a while, but now that the prince is back, they are restless again. They are asking for a beating."

Lu Huan said this with a cheerful look on her face. In the past, Madam was too cautious and would always be polite to even the most difficult people.

Although I took everyone's dignity into consideration, I ended up putting myself at a disadvantage.

It’s better like this now.

"However, today Madam beat Miss Sun. Will she come to the Marquis' Mansion to cause trouble for Madam in the future? After all, she is the eldest Madam's niece..."

Jiang Qingyue sneered:

"Go to the Marquis' Mansion to cause trouble for me?

"Then go and beat her up again and again until she's convinced."

When Lu Huan heard these domineering and firm words, his eyes lit up and he wanted to give his wife a thumbs up.

It is really great that madam is like this.

"Madam, do you want to return this set of jewelry?"

"No need, she gave it to me, so I'll take it. Next time you go out and change the money, I'll give you half. Don't let Bai Wei know.

"The remaining half will be given to the servants of Wutong Courtyard. Everyone can share it. You can also take another share."

"No, ma'am, I don't need it. It's too expensive."

"Take it if you give it to me. I know you need the money. If you follow me, I don't want to treat you badly."

Green Huan had tears in her eyes and choked up:

"Thank you ma'am."

"If you need anything, be sure to tell me."

Lu Huan nodded, tears fell, and she wiped them away quickly: "Yes."

Da Wu's voice came from outside:

"Madam, someone is coming to the mansion."

Jiang Qingyue lifted the curtain and took a look outside, and saw the servants from the mansion walking towards her in a hurry.

"Is the lady in the carriage?"

Da Wu replied, "Yes, I am preparing to go back home."

The servant looked towards the carriage, ran over and saluted, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said:

"Reporting to the young lady, please hurry up. The old lady and the prince asked you to return home as soon as possible."

Da Wu didn't move, but looked behind him, waiting for instructions from the carriage.

After hearing his wife say that they were going back home, he and Xiao Wu drove the carriage to the mansion.

Green Huan looked at the situation, a little worried, and asked:

"Madam, the prince and the old lady came to look for me so anxiously. I don't know what happened. When I went out today, I heard that Aunt Chu was going to host a welcoming banquet. Could it be about the welcoming banquet?"

"We'll find out when we get back."

She probably had an idea of ​​it.

Such a welcoming banquet is just in the preparation stage. No matter what happens, there is no need for the old lady and Xue Feimu to look for her.

I just heard those civil servants talking about the Imperial Household Department in the teahouse. I guess the official position has been determined.

At this time, there is a big thing, which is the matter of official position.

Xue Feimu would definitely not be happy about being an eunuch in charge of ceremonies. The old lady should know this by now. The old lady cares a lot about her reputation and it is impossible for her to let him take up the position obediently.

Will find ways to get around for him.

The connections of the Marquis' Mansion had long been exhausted.

Otherwise, she would not have agreed to the marriage in order to maintain the relationship with the Jiang family.

The Jiang family was not optimistic about the Marquis' Mansion, and they didn't care about her as a concubine's daughter. Although her father was the Minister of War, that old fox would not worry about things that had no benefits, let alone contribute.

In this matter, the only thing the Marquis' Mansion can use now is Dong Lingyan.

If she guessed correctly, the old lady was planning to ask Xue Feimu to take her with her and prepare gifts to ask Dong Lingyan for help.

Jiang Qingyue felt a chill in her heart.

The old lady now completely treats her as a tool and does not treat her as a human being at all.

If that's the case...

It is such a shame that my husband's grandmother asked me to take him to beg for mercy...

Jiang Qingyue raised her hand and gently straightened her sleeves.

Look at the pattern on the sleeves, the fine lines, and stroke them carefully.

She is not a puppet in the hands of the old lady.

If the old lady really planned this, then she would make her shoot herself in the foot.

The carriage arrived at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion. As soon as Jiang Qingyue got off the carriage, the maid waiting at the gate came over to invite her.

"Madam, please hurry up. The old lady and the prince have been waiting in Cisongyuan for a long time."

Jiang Qingyue nodded and went to Cisongyuan.

At this time, in Cisong Courtyard, Xue Feimu was already getting extremely impatient.

He walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, sighing, and looking outside as he walked.

"Why are you going out for a stroll instead of staying at home? Don't you know that something is going on in the mansion? Whose mistress is like this? If you ask me, she should stop taking care of the household affairs and leave it to Wan'er..."

The old lady was anxious and had some complaints about Jiang Qingyue in her heart, but she also knew that she had to rely on Jiang Qingyue for today's matter, so she said:

"This matter cannot be entirely blamed on her. Normally, she would go out directly if she had something to do. She didn't know what happened in the mansion. If she knew, she would definitely not go out. It was just a coincidence."

Xue Feimu said impatiently: "If things are delayed, she will bear the main responsibility."

“This is too serious.”

"She hasn't come back yet, what can she do? It's almost noon, and anyone who wants to give gifts should go there in the afternoon. If she goes too late, she might not even be able to see the general."

The old lady was also anxious, thinking: Why are all these things piled up in one place? If she had known earlier, she should have kept Jiang Qingyue in the mansion today.

She looked at Madam Li behind her.

"Go find some more people to look for her. Go to our shop and ask if anyone has seen the young lady today. Also go to the shops she usually goes to. If you see her, ask her to come back immediately."

"Yes." Nanny Li responded. Just as she was about to leave, she heard a report from outside:

"Report to the old lady and the prince, the young lady is back."

"Hurry, hurry, come in, please."

Finally back, the old lady breathed a sigh of relief and leaned over to look outside.

Jiang Qingyue entered the room, bowed to the old lady, and spoke directly:

"It's almost the end of the month, and the accounts in the shop need to be settled. A few days ago, there was an error in one of the account books. I was supposed to go yesterday, but the prince returned to the capital yesterday and I was delayed. I was afraid that something might go wrong, so I left early this morning. When I heard that there was an emergency in the mansion, I returned immediately."

Jiang Qingyue spoke first, with reasons and arguments, and the old lady could not utter a word of criticism.

But Xue Feimu couldn't help but criticize:

"Even if you go out, you should tell grandma. Let her know where you are going. If you need to find someone, you can find a place. As the head of the family, don't you know this little bit of etiquette?"

Jiang Qingyue did not bow her head and admit her mistake as usual, but spoke directly:

"It was the old lady who told me not to come."

Xue Feimu thought of what the old lady had just said, and the accusation that he was about to blurt out was stuck in his throat.

"Then we should send someone to inform them."

"If the prince is looking for trouble with me, please find another reason. I have been married to the Marquis' Mansion for three years. I have been cautious in everything and dare not make any mistakes. The old lady personally ordered me not to report and pay respects. Why is the prince blaming me for an unfounded fault like this?"

"You...what's your attitude? How can a wife talk to her husband like that?"

"I was only presenting facts and reasoning with the prince, but he was being unreasonable and accused me of having a bad attitude. Isn't that a bit far-fetched?

"Your Highness is an irresponsible and dishonorable husband, yet he wants to accuse me, his wife, of not doing a good job. Not to mention that I did nothing wrong in this matter, even if I did, how can Your Highness allow the governor to set fires but not the people to light lamps?"

"You...how did you become like this? Everyone outside knows that you, Miss Jiang, are virtuous and kind, but now I see you acting like a shrew."

"Before the prince came back, I was still the virtuous mistress in the eyes of others, but after the prince came back, I became what he called a shrew. Why don't we go out and let others judge for ourselves?"

Xue Feimu was furious and shouted, "Are you saying that I wronged you?"

Jiang Qingyue looked over with a calm expression: "The prince still has some merits. At least he knows himself well."

"you……"

Xue Feimu was furious, and the two sides were on the verge of a quarrel. The old lady hurriedly stopped them:

"Alright, alright, stop talking. You two should stop being like enemies. It's fine if you quarrel with me, but if outsiders know about it, it will be a joke."

"Grandma, she's really unreasonable."

Xue Feimu was furious and was about to blame Jiang Qingyue again, but he heard Jiang Qingyue respond calmly:

"Yes, ma'am.

The old lady looked at Jiang Qingyue and saw that she was lowering her head with a look of grievance. She also knew that she was angry.

What Xue Feimu said just now was indeed a bit harsh.

She had been a widow for three years, waiting for her husband to return, but when Xue Feimu came back, he not only brought a woman from outside with him, but also wanted her to be his concubine. Moreover, he did not spend the first night in Wutong Courtyard, and did not even give her the respect of a mistress.

It was understandable that Jiang Qingyue was angry. In the final analysis, Xue Feimu had gone too far in this matter.

Even if Xue Feimu was wrong, under normal circumstances, she would definitely help Xue Feimu and give Jiang Qingyue a lesson, but not today.

"You two are just like me and the old marquis when I was young, quarreling over the slightest disagreement.

"When a couple lives together, they are bound to have arguments. They quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed. There is still a long life ahead of them. Everyone should take a step back, understand and tolerate each other. There is still a lifetime to live.

"Qingyue didn't come to pay her respects and report today. It's exactly what I said before. No wonder Qingyue, Muer, you are too impatient.

"Qingyue, don't blame Mu'er. Something big happened today, and he was a little anxious. He waited for you here for a long time, but you didn't come back, so he said something harsh. Don't take it to heart. Husband and wife don't hold grudges overnight."

"Yes, old lady."

Seeing that Jiang Qingyue was still so sensible, the old lady nodded with satisfaction.

His gaze turned to Xue Feimu again.

Xue Feimu's brows were tightly knitted together, forming the shape of a "川" character.

Thinking that he still had to rely on Jiang Qingyue today, he apologized reluctantly:

"Sorry, I was in a hurry today."

This was the first time in two lifetimes that Xue Feimu apologized to Jiang Qingyue.

It was ironic that when she spoke kindly, no one took her words seriously. When she stood up for herself and even confronted them, they all learned to apologize.

Some people are really cheap.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you admit your mistakes."

"You..." Xue Feimu couldn't help but said something else, but was stopped by the old lady's look. She flicked her sleeves and turned her back.

The old lady put on a smiling face and told Jiang Qingyue what happened today.

However, they did not say it was the Imperial Household Department, only that they were not satisfied with their position, and asked them to take gifts to the General's Mansion to see if they could be transferred to another position.

There was a deep chill in Jiang Qingyue's eyes.

"Madam, do you want me to bring the gift and the prince to the general's mansion to ask for help from the general?"

Jiang Qingyue specifically repeated this sentence and looked at the old lady with a calm and deep gaze.

The old lady felt uneasy when being stared at and looked away.

"This matter is of great importance. It concerns Mu'er's future and the future of the Marquis' Mansion. I hope you will take great care of it.

"As long as the Marquis's Mansion is good and Mu'er is good, then you are good. When you give birth to a legitimate son, everything in the Marquis' Mansion will be his. You are also doing this for yourself.

“Grandma knows that it is really difficult for a woman like you to deal with this matter, but Grandma really has no other choice.

"Grandmother knows about the injustice you have suffered. I will let Mu'er compensate you one by one later."
