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

The fact that Sun Xiaoxiao was going to enter the Marquis' Mansion did not cause much stir in the mansion.

Jiang Qingyue didn't care, Chu Wan'er didn't dare to intervene, and Bai Wei had no qualifications, so a strange calm was achieved.

The old lady took back the power of managing the household from Chu Wan'er.

Chu Wan'er was given two choices, one was to make up for all the losses incurred during these days.

The second is to fend for himself in Miaowenyuan and never appear in front of anyone in the mansion again.

Chu Wan'er cried and cried, feeling so wronged.

She had done so many things to please the old lady these days, and it would have been fine if the old lady had not shown any mercy at all, but she actually wanted her to pay for all the expenses of the Marquis' Mansion these days. It was really too bullying.

Because she was new to the household, she was afraid of being caught, so she didn't put a penny into her own pocket.

It is true that he uses the title to eat well, drink well and be well served.

But these are just the little things that the old lady can reveal. The main beneficiary is the old lady, so why should she bear all the responsibility?

Even if she has to bear these, why are all other expenses of the Marquis' Mansion also charged to her?

Just because she is the head of the family, does that mean she should be responsible for everything? She can't conjure up money.

Chu Wan'er felt very aggrieved. She did bring some silver back from the border, but how could she fill such a huge hole in the mansion? Besides, she didn't want to fill it, and it wasn't her place to fill it.

She really had no other choice, so she went to find Xue Feimu.

She cried and exaggerated what the old lady meant.

Although she now has some opinions about Xue Feimu, at this time, Xue Feimu is the only one who can help her.

Xue Feimu also somewhat disapproved of Chu Wan'er's spending. In addition, the old lady repeatedly told her to let her spend some money. Once a woman spends money for the family, she will work together with the family.

He thought that he would compensate her some in the future when the Marquis' Mansion had money. Now the Marquis' Mansion was in trouble, so he punished her a little, firstly to teach her a lesson, and secondly to make her understand that she should stand together with the Marquis' Mansion.

He was so merciful that he only allowed her to pay one thousand taels.

He knew she had brought some silver, which was not a lot of money.

"Just fill in one thousand taels, I'll talk to grandma about the rest. You've been the housekeeper for some time, and there have been some inappropriate expenses, which have all been reviewed by you. They've already been spent, you know your mistake and make amends, and this matter will be over."

When Chu Wan'er heard Xue Feimu's words, she was shocked.

Xue Feimu had a rough idea of ​​how much money she had, but it was less than two thousand taels at most.

Now Xue Feimu asked her to pay one thousand, which was really a threat to her life.

That money was the life-saving money her mother gave her.

How could he possibly get his hands on this money?

She managed the household, and not only did she spend a lot of effort, but she didn't make a penny for herself, and instead spent a thousand taels...

Chu Wan'er felt aggrieved and burst into tears.

She looked at the person in front of her and suddenly found him to be so strange that it was frightening.

Xue Feimu felt a little sorry seeing her crying like that.

Thinking of their past, he sighed, pulled Chu Wan'er into his arms, and comforted her.

Listening to Chu Wan'er's crying, he gave her the one thousand taels that Sun Xiaoxiao had brought.

Let her plug the hole.

Anyway, it will be handed over to the public in the end and the money will return to him, so it won’t be a problem.

Chu Wan'er felt better now.

However, the impression I had of the Marquis' Mansion was no longer the same as when I first entered it.

Chu Wan'er took the money to make up for the deficit, but lost the power to manage the family, and she couldn't say anything about her suffering.

When he heard that his cousin Sun Xiaoxiao would be marrying him soon, he felt deflated and fell ill.

Xue Feimu originally wanted to go and take a look, but was stopped by Bai Wei.

When Chu Wan'er heard the news, she cried again.

Sun Xiaoxiao also heard the news and had already marked Bai Wei as an enemy. She even thought of several ways to deal with her.

The backyard of the Marquis's mansion slowly spread out in a repressed and distorted form.

On this day, before noon, Jiang Qingyue was invited by the people from Cisongyuan.

When the old lady saw Jiang Qingyue, she greeted her with a forced smile.

Jiang Qingyue bowed and sat down as he was told.

The old lady hypocritically asked Jiang Qingyue about her food, clothing, housing and transportation.

As soon as Jiang Qingyue saw this, she knew that the old lady had something to say.

Seeing that Jiang Qingyue looked normal, the old lady did not beat around the bush and said:

"You have seen what has been going on in the mansion these days. The household expenses... Well, even if it is because of Chu's housekeeper, it is also because of my failure to supervise well.

"You have worked so hard to support the Marquis' Mansion and have devoted yourself to it, but they don't appreciate you at all. This is really wrong..."

As the old lady spoke, she shed a few hypocritical tears.

Seeing that Jiang Qingyue didn't say anything, he continued:

"Grandmother has seen and remembered everything you have done for the Marquis' Mansion. I am most relieved to hand over the household affairs to you, but...

"But you don't know that the deficit in the mansion is quite large right now. If I leave it to you to manage, it will be too difficult for you. Sun will be married soon, and her dowry is generous. Grandmother invited you here today to discuss with you. Let's put aside the household affairs for the time being so that you can relax a little."

After hearing this, Jiang Qingyue had completely understood what the old lady meant.

I just heard that the old lady took back the power of the household. So this was her plan.

She said, why would the old lady come to clean up this mess.

The marriage between the Sun family and the Marquis's Mansion was so easily agreed upon, it must be that both parties reached a consensus.

The Marquis's Mansion needs money, and Sun Xiaoxiao's mother has money.

Mrs. Sun is not stupid. After paying the money, she will definitely fight for her daughter's rights.

Unable to obtain the position of principal wife, the old lady cannot touch her now because of Dong Lingyan and Nie Qianjin.

The only thing that the Marquis's Mansion could give Sun Xiaoxiao dignity was the power to be the head of the household.

The last time there was such a big fuss, the old lady still dared to do this. It seems that she has thought of a foolproof plan.

Jiang Qingyue pretended to be dumb: "What the old lady means is..."

"That's right. You are the one who is in charge of the household, but due to health reasons, you have asked Aunt Sun to help. In fact, all the money paid by the Marquis' Mansion is handed over to Aunt Sun."

Jiang Qingyue secretly cursed the old lady for being shameless.

The last time we had a welcoming banquet, it was because Chu Wan'er had forced herself to take the lead that she was caught. In fact, if this kind of thing happened in the backyard, no one would know about it as long as no one made a fuss.

What's more, my name is on it. No matter how hard I try, it was my aunt who helped.

She is in charge in name only, but the actual housekeeper is Sun Xiaoxiao.

The old lady is quite good at calculating.

"The old lady's arrangement is definitely the best. As long as it is for the good of the Marquis's Mansion, Qingyue agrees."

Jiang Qingyue acted as if whatever the old lady said was the right thing to do.

The main reason is that she doesn't want to be in charge of this company.

"However, Qingyue is a well-known name after all. If something happens to the housekeeper of the Sun family, will it be blamed on me?"

Whoever is the housekeeper will be given the seal to take the mansion. She is afraid that the old lady will not acknowledge it and she will be implicated. It is better to say this in advance to avoid trouble.

"Of course not. If Sun makes a mistake, it will be Sun's responsibility."

"That's good." Jiang Qingyue lowered her head and sighed.

Even if you are happy in your heart and have been given a hot potato, you still have to pretend to be reluctant on the surface.

The old lady nodded with satisfaction:

"I knew you were the most considerate. Don't worry, when the Marquis' Mansion is over, the finances will be in your hands. The Marquis' Mansion will never forget what you have done for it over the past few years."

Jiang Qingyue didn't say anything, with an expression as if she was enduring a grievance.

The old lady achieved her goal, so she naturally pretended not to see it.

"Since you agree, let's just leave it at that. You can go back now."

"Yes."

Seeing Jiang Qingyue stand up, the old lady gave another instruction:

"When you enter the Sun family, you will be offered tea. Let's get along well from now on.

"During this period of time, you should take good care of yourself and give birth to a child for the Marquisate as soon as possible."

At this moment, the butler came in hurriedly:

"Madam, there is a message from the palace."

Speaking of the palace, the old lady's heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously looked at Jiang Qingyue beside her.

Nanny Li had already stepped forward to take the note and asked the housekeeper to leave.

Jiang Qingyue: "Qingyue will go back first."

Before she could take a step, the old lady stopped her:

"Wait a minute, the post in the palace might be related to you."

Jiang Qingyue stood still but did not speak.

The old lady opened the post, read it quickly, and asked Nanny Li to give it to Jiang Qingyue.

"The Imperial Concubine will leave the palace tomorrow to burn incense at Baiyun Temple. I want you to accompany her."

The old lady's face was full of expression.

She didn't expect that Jiang Qingyue would be so pleasing to the Imperial Concubine.

I secretly thanked my luck that my attitude just now was pretty good.

Jiang Qingyue finished reading the post and put it away: "Qingyue will definitely go there."

"Of course I have to go. When you meet the Imperial Concubine, please be polite and look more and talk less."

"Yes, Qingyue has made a note of it."

"Also, if you have the chance, mention Mu'er. If you can get the Imperial Concubine to say a few words for Mu'er, that would be better than anything else."

When the old lady thought of this, her mind became active and she gave Jiang Qingyue a lot of instructions.

Finally, don’t forget to remind:

"Don't mention the household affairs in the mansion. If you tell her, the Imperial Concubine will laugh at you."

Jiang Qingyue sneered in her heart: It turns out that she also knew that this was a joke.

Seeing that Jiang Qingyue's expression was a little strange, the old lady thought for a moment, and asked Li Ma to take out a box of pearls from the bottom of her box and gave it to Jiang Qingyue:

"Take this. It was given to me by the old marquis. It is a fine pearl and a gift from my grandmother.

"Grandma knows that you have been wronged in the matter of household expenses, but things have come to this point, and the deficit is getting bigger and bigger. Grandma feels sorry for you, and can't let you use your dowry to fill it. Grandma feels bad about it.

"It's the failure of the Marquisate that has caused you so much suffering. Grandmother is doing this for your own good. You must understand her."

A tear squeezed out of Jiang Qingyue's eyes.

"Qingyue knows what the old lady is thinking. Logically speaking, this is something given by the old marquis, and Qingyue cannot accept it no matter what. But if Qingyue doesn't want it, she is afraid that the old lady will be worried. In order to make the old lady feel at ease, Qingyue can only accept it."

As he said that, he asked Lu Huan to take it.

The old lady stared at the box, feeling a pang of heartache.

"You just understand."

Jiang Qingyue wiped away her tears, said a few polite words and left.

In the room, the old lady was angry.

"It's a waste of talent. She dared to accept such a good thing."

Nanny Li comforted her, "It will still belong to the old lady from now on, but I'll keep it with the young lady for a few days."

After hearing what Nanny Li said, the old lady felt much more relieved.

"She is really lucky. Everyone looks at her differently."

"Madam, this is not the blessing of the young lady, this is the blessing of the Marquis' Mansion."

"That's right. Since you took my things, you should naturally do things for the Marquis' Mansion. This is the way to go."

In the inner corridor of the Marquis' Mansion, Jiang Qingyue and Lu Huan went to the Wutong Courtyard.

Lu Huan asked quietly, "Madam, would you like me to find out who the Imperial Concubine has invited?"

"No need."

If she guessed correctly, this time, Nie Qianjin was coming for her.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t happen one after another.

The palace banquet has just ended, and now we have to go to burn incense.

He even sent a special invitation to the Marquis's Mansion.

In previous lives, there was no such thing at this time.

"Madam, I always feel that this imperial concubine looks like she has bad intentions."

Jiang Qingyue took a deep breath and said, "Even if the person who comes has bad intentions, we have to go. That's the Imperial Concubine."

"Then, would you like me to inform the general?"

"...No need."

If it were someone else, she might tell Dong Lingyan if she couldn't solve the problem or didn't want to go.

But this is Nie Qianjin. She doesn’t think that Dong Lingyan will stand on her side if something happens between her and Nie Qianjin.

She probably knew what Nie Qianjin wanted to do. For her, she could only deal with it as it came.

Moreover, if she guessed correctly: Dong Lingyan would also go this time.

Xue Feimu went out early the next morning.

Go see the adult who can help him.

Although he was still in a wheelchair to hide from others, he did not dare to show off.

When Jiang Qingyue woke up from her lunch break, she heard that Xue Feimu had already returned home.

As soon as he came back from outside, he got very angry and smashed a lot of things in the study. The servants in the study were trembling with fear and dared not make a sound.

Jiang Qingyue smiled after hearing this and checked the things to be prepared for burning incense tomorrow.

Xue Feimu's position is almost set in stone and will never be changed.

No matter how hard he tries, the post of Imperial Household Department will fall on him.

As for the Marquis's Mansion, since it did not seize the opportunity to return to the capital and make meritorious contributions, it will never have the possibility of moving up in the future.

In this situation, she was ready to help the Sun family.

Give the Sun family a prosperous life that is like a mirage.

In the previous life, the Sun family had an opportunity. Although the final result was not very good, it did allow the Sun family's status to take a big step forward.

If the Sun family rises, Sun Xiaoxiao's status will naturally rise, and she will definitely not be relegated to a concubine.

The old lady would not let her leave, but would let her die suddenly in various ways in the inner house of the marquis' mansion.

She had to get Xue Feimu to agree to the divorce before this happened.

The time cannot be too early or too late, she has to wait for this opportunity.

Right now, the crisis she has to solve comes from Nie Qianjin.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qingyue took Lu Huan to the small kitchen.

He asked Lu Huan to help him and made three boxes of snacks himself, all of which were Dong Ling Yan's favorite flavors.

Let Lu Huan secretly send it to the general's mansion.

There was very little she could do about this matter.

However, as long as Dong Lingyan showed a little pity for her, she would not be too embarrassed.

She didn't want to get involved between the two of them and just wanted to leave quietly.
