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

"Aunt, look at her, she is so arrogant, she doesn't take you seriously at all, Aunt, you must punish her, she is so arrogant in front of my mother-in-law."

Sun Xiaoxiao jumped up, not missing any opportunity to seduce Jiang Qingyue.

However, he did not notice that Sun's expression had changed.

This is... asking her to take care of the household chores?

How could she do that?

If she could, this matter would not fall on Jiang Qingyue's head.

She just wanted to remind Jiang Qingyue, but she didn't expect her to be so angry and just quit.

Sun was in a panic. If the old lady heard about this, how would she explain it?

"Aunt, you must teach her a lesson, otherwise she will really think that you are easy to bully. Just take the key away from her and see how she will face it in the future..."

Sun Xiaoxiao kept chattering, and it was the first time that Sun felt she was so noisy.

"Okay, stop talking."

This was the first time Sun Xiaoxiao was scolded by Sun. She was stunned for a moment, and then she started crying.

"Aunt, I'm speaking for you. How can you be so mean to me for her?"

Sun Xiaoxiao started to cry as she spoke. Sun felt annoyed and didn't know why she thought she was well-behaved before.

"Okay, okay, if you want to make the decision, I will make the decision for you. Stop crying and go back quickly."

Sun Xiaoxiao was unhappy: "Aunt, I just arrived and you want to drive me away. I heard that my cousin was sick, and I didn't have time to see him."

Sun was troubled: "You go ahead."

Sun Xiaoxiao wanted to say something, but seeing that Sun didn't seem to want to talk, she curled her lips and left in silence.

I thought to myself that when I see my cousin, I will definitely report Jiang Qingyue to him.

After she left, Sun looked at the keys on the table with a frown.

The nanny behind him comforted him:

"Don't worry, madam. In my opinion, the young lady is just being temperamental.

"Which mistress wouldn't be proud to be in charge of household expenses? Young Madam has done so much for the Marquis's Mansion, she would definitely not want to give up the credit when the Marquis's Mansion is on the rise.

"Besides, there is a favored concubine in the mansion who is eyeing her covetously, how could she let go?

"Young Madam is just being angry. Maybe she will come to apologize to Madam in two days."

Sun felt better after hearing this: "I hope so."

From the beginning to the end, she never thought of taking charge of the household affairs herself.

However, despite saying this, for some reason, Sun's eyelids kept twitching and she always felt vaguely uneasy.

The servant brought her some tea and she took a sip to calm herself down. However, before she had finished the whole pot of tea, she saw Lu Huan coming with her maid, bringing all the account books to the door and explaining everything about the account books. After that, she left with her people.

Sun was dumbfounded.

She didn't expect that what Jiang Qingyue said was true and she really didn't want to do it anymore.

I was extremely panicked for a moment.

"What should I do? What should I do? Does she really not want to be the host? Is she trying to embarrass me and make things difficult for me? Does she want me to apologize to her in person before she will give up?"

Sun had a bitter face. She was so angry after saying these words that she could hardly breathe.

The nanny beside her was also confused: Judging from the young lady's expression, is she serious?

She knows the Madam's abilities best. If the Young Madam really doesn't care about anything and the Old Madam blames her, the Madam will be in trouble.

Looking at Sun's distressed face, the nanny said tentatively:

"Young Madam is angry. Why don't you go to Wutong Courtyard and have a good talk with her so that she won't be angry?"

"I won't go. As a mother-in-law, I will go and speak well of my daughter-in-law. She has such a big face.

"This just happened. If I go to apologize to her, how can I stay in the Marquis' Mansion in the future?"

"So, Madam, are you going to take responsibility for this?"

"I'll take responsibility..."

Sun's face was filled with fear and worry.

How could she bear that?

"Then we have to report it to the old lady. If the old lady comes forward, the young lady will definitely listen. The old lady will also ask the young lady to apologize to the lady for the sake of her reputation."

"No, the old lady cannot know about this."

If the old lady knew that it was because of her quarrel with Jiang Qingyue that Jiang Qingyue quit her job, she didn't know what Jiang Qingyue would do, but her fate would not be good.

Thinking of the old lady's harsh look, Sun couldn't help but shudder.

"Go find Mu'er.

"He is the boss of the mansion now. If something like this happens, he will definitely side with me. He has never liked Jiang Qingyue. It is best for me to have him come forward."

"Yes, yes, let the prince come forward."

Sun also knew that this matter could not be delayed, so she went to Shumingyuan immediately.

When I arrived at Shumingyuan, I heard Sun Xiaoxiao crying as soon as I entered the door, and an unhappy expression appeared on Sun's face.

I didn’t notice it before, but today I started to feel that Sun Xiaoxiao was a bit annoying.

She told the story straight away as soon as she entered the room. Sun Xiaoxiao added fuel to the fire, and Xue Feimu frowned when he heard it.

He knew that his mother had no ability to manage the household, so this would definitely not be appropriate.

I didn't expect Jiang Qingyue to be so bad-tempered.

He comforted Sun with a few words, and Sun cried and said that she didn't mean that at all, and her words implied that Jiang Qingyue was making a big deal out of nothing.

Xue Feimu thought about it and decided to go to Wutong Courtyard by himself.

With Xue Feimu's support, Sun originally wanted to go, but then she thought that as a mother-in-law, going to her daughter-in-law's courtyard because of such a thing would not give her face, and it would seem like she had done something wrong. So she gave up and returned to her own courtyard.

Xue Feimu wanted to go to Wutong Courtyard, and Sun Xiaoxiao wanted to follow him in the name of taking care of him. Xue Feimu had no choice but to follow her.

At this moment in Wutong Courtyard, Jiang Qingyue looked at the bookshelf that had been emptied of account books, with a slight smile on her face.

These things once consumed all her time and energy, but did not win her any sincerity from the Marquis's Mansion.

She was framed by these things before, but now that they are gone, she just feels relaxed.

She knew exactly what the situation was like in the Marquis' Mansion. She had worked so hard for so long to balance the accounts, allowing the Mansion to have income, turn losses into profits, and live a decent life.

But others thought that the money in the Marquis' Mansion came from the wind and was squandered recklessly. In the end, the money could not be filled and they blamed her, the mistress, for mismanaging the business.

The way the Marquis' Mansion is spending now, they will soon have to take money from one pocket to pay for another, and the leak will only get bigger and bigger.

Ever since she was reborn, she wanted to give the household supplies away.

It was previously planned that it would be a good opportunity for Chu Wan'er to host the welcoming banquet, but I didn't expect that it would end up in Sun's hands.

For her, whoever takes over well just needs to hand it over.

None of these masters are good.

From now on, anything on the Marquis's Mansion's accounts had nothing to do with her.

The most important thing she is going to do next:

Yes: divorce.

Right now, Xue Feimu has just returned to Beijing and will not divorce her.

He didn't even dare to divorce his wife.

Because she was a widow, ran the mansion, and did so much for the Xue family, if Xue Feimu dared to divorce her, he would be drowned in the saliva of the censor.

She could only wait for the right opportunity.

Another way is to let Dong Lingyan come forward.

As long as Dong Lingyan gave the order, the Marquis' Mansion would not dare to refuse to release the person.

However, if she asked Dong Lingyan for help in this matter, she would be Dong Lingyan's canary in the future.

For her, it was just like jumping from one cage to another.

And who knows, the other cage will be even more difficult.

She didn't know whether Dong Lingyan was attracted by her face, voice, or a certain expression, but she knew it was related to that person.

It was already the limit for her to seek Dong Lingyan's protection.

If you ask for more, you'll just be roasting yourself on the fire.

She couldn't afford the gamble.

If you lose the bet on a road that you know you cannot take, there is no way back.

It is not easy to live again, she wants to cherish her life, want to treasure the remaining days, want to have the possibility of a future.

Jiang Qingyue was lost in thought when Lv Huan came in:

"Madam, the prince is coming towards Wutong Courtyard."

Jiang Qingyue came back to her senses, a look of disgust on her face.

It goes without saying that Xue Feimu came at this time to deal with the household affairs.

Sun couldn't do it herself, and didn't dare to go to the old lady, so she could only ask Xue Feimu to step in.

"Let's go." She stood up and walked out, with no intention of letting Xue Fei go into the house.

Lu Huan whispered again: "My cousin is here too."

Jiang Qingyue thought for a moment and said:

"Well, she has been hostile to me for so many years, it's time for her to find someone else."

Jiang Qingyue quickened her pace and went to the yard.

As soon as I sat down in the pavilion, Xue Feimu came in.

Seeing Jiang Qingyue sitting in the pavilion, with the blue and white gauze curtains fluttering in the wind, it was a pleasing scene that really made people happy.

He asked the servant to push him over.

Sun Xiaoxiao had been constantly praising Jiang Qingyue all the way here, imagining that once her cousin arrived, she would scold Jiang Qingyue.

She had indeed noticed that her cousin's face didn't look very good just now, and she was secretly happy in her heart, but she didn't expect that his face would change so suddenly.

She stomped her feet fiercely, followed him, and stared at Jiang Qingyue with anger in her eyes.

When Jiang Qingyue saw someone coming, she stood up and saluted, but did not go to greet him.

"The prince is here."

Xue Feimu saw Jiang Qingyue's humble and submissive look and thought to himself:

As expected, the woman said one thing and meant another. She seemed a little angry yesterday. Just leave her alone for half a day and she will be fine.

"Well, sit down."

Jiang Qingyue sat down and Lu Huan came over to pour tea.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Sun Xiaoxiao came over and sat down. She coughed several times, trying to get people to pay attention to her, and then said to Jiang Qingyue:

"Don't be so complacent. Your cousin knows everything that happened just now. Your aunt is very angry. You are doomed."

Jiang Qingyue pretended not to hear and looked at Xue Feimu:

"The prince is in trouble."

Xue Feimu looked at her face and changed his tone when he was about to ask for accusation.

"I heard that your mother had an argument just now, and gave away all the household items out of anger."

Jiang Qingyue lowered her head: "I'm not angry, I'm really tired. Since my wife thinks I'm not managing well, I don't want to worry about it anymore."

"That's not what mother meant. There must be a misunderstanding. It's all right if we talk it out. We're all family, there's no need to get angry."

"Madam and the prince are naturally a family, but it seems that they are not like me. Forget it, I don't want to worry about it anymore. It doesn't matter who is in charge of the household affairs. Even if you let my cousin do it, I have no objection."

Sun Xiaoxiao looked ready for a quarrel from the moment she sat down, trying to find loopholes in Jiang Qingyue's every word so as to make fun of her. She never expected that Jiang Qingyue would say this.

She was stunned for a moment, and looked at Jiang Qingyue in disbelief. Seeing that there was no strange expression on Jiang Qingyue's face, she thought of something and her face flushed. She looked at Xue Feimu shyly. She had already imagined in her mind that she would marry her beloved and take care of the housework for him. Her heart felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.

But Xue Feimu didn't pay any attention to her at all.

His eyes fell on Jiang Qingyue's face.

There was a trace of sadness lingering between those frowning brows, which made me feel pity for him.

"You have misunderstood this matter. How can mother care about this? Don't be angry, don't say angry words, take the key back, I can treat what happened today as if it never happened."

Jiang Qingyue still looked sad: "Your Highness, don't say anything more. I will not take back what I have given away.

"I know that the prince doesn't like me, and I feel humiliated to be married off as a substitute, but if the prince feels this way, then so do I. I am a concubine's daughter, my aunt is not around, and my family is of low status. The mistress asked me to marry off as a substitute, so how could I resist? The prince doesn't want this marriage, and neither do I.

"But things have come to this point, and it is useless to say more. I only ask that the prince let me live a few days in peace."

Xue Feimu immediately defended himself: "Nonsense, since you have entered my mansion, you are naturally my manor's person, it is really wrong to say such things.

"Although there are some reasons for this marriage, since I have married you, I will not regret it. I also respect you as my mistress."

Jiang Qingyue smiled bitterly when she heard this:

"There are no outsiders here, so there is no need for you to say these high-sounding words. I know very well that you have no feelings for me."

"Rumor, this is absolutely a rumor."

"How can it be a rumor? Is it true that the prince is away and married to Miss Chu?

“I brought her back to the capital from afar, and on the first day I begged the old lady to marry her as my second wife, but what is the truth?

"Miss Chu is pregnant, but we haven't even consummated our marriage, but what is the truth?

"How did you come to this conclusion, Prince? Is this a rumor?"

what……

Sun Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment.

So the enemy she had been targeting for so long was the wrong person?

Jiang Qingyue was right. What could a concubine like her do? If the mistress said she would marry, she had to marry.

They didn't consummate their marriage, which meant that her cousin didn't like her at all.

The woman he brought back home was pregnant? Did my cousin go and ask to marry her as his concubine?

If this isn’t a vixen, then what is?

Damn it, I got the wrong person.

Sun Xiaoxiao was angry and looked at Xue Feimu.

At this moment, Xue Feimu was stumped by Jiang Qingyue's question and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Just when he was about to explain, Jiang Qingyue gave him a look of great resentment, then covered her face with a handkerchief, ran away quickly, went into the house and closed the door.

The words Xue Feimu wanted to explain were stuck in his throat.

After seeing this scene, Sun Xiaoxiao had nothing to understand.

For some reason, I felt a surge of sympathy for Jiang Qingyue, and an even greater surge of jealousy towards Miss Chu.

Today, now that she is here, she has to meet Miss Chu.
