The mother of the Hou family eavesdropped on my inner thoughts and went crazy, I won by sucking milk
Chapter 12: Sniffing out the conspiracy
Jiang Wanqing held the child in her arms, her pupils trembling slightly.
Then, as if realizing something late, she quickly said in an apologetic tone, "Mother, that's not what I meant. It's just that my second sister said that you weren't full with the vegetable porridge, so I was thinking, should I let you eat a little more... In that case, then mother, please go back. Your daughter-in-law will not see you off as it is a little inconvenient."
Looking at Jiang Wanqing's sincere expression, Old Madam Zhou had another moment of doubt. Could it be that Jiang Wanqing really just didn't mean it?
However, if it were the Jiang Wanqing of the past, wouldn’t she have used her dowry money to prepare a table of uneaten meals for herself?
For some reason, Old Madam Zhou always felt that there seemed to be something different about Jiang Wanqing.
But I can’t tell what’s different.
Old Madam Zhou originally wanted to use her power as housekeeper to discipline Jiang Wanqing.
But now that the power of housekeeper has been given to Zhou Ziqi, Jiang Wanqing does not seem to show any dissatisfaction on her face.
Thinking of this, Old Madam Zhou spoke again: "Jiang, during this time when you are no longer needed as the housekeeper, you should think carefully about where you went wrong! If you can't figure it out, don't even think about getting your housekeeper power back!"
Jiang Wanqing lowered her eyes, her face showing fear: "Mother, your daughter-in-law will definitely reflect on herself. As for Mu Sheng, I have also written a letter to Mr. Wuchen's house."
Seeing Jiang Wanqing so frightened and hearing Zhou Musheng's words, Madam Zhou's expression looked a little better.
If they could really invite Mr. Wu Chen, I'm afraid that in the future her Zhou family would be able to produce a top scholar!
Madam Zhou looked at Jiang Wanqing and became more friendly: "Wanqing, it's hard for you to consider Mu Sheng. In the future, when this child has a promising future, he will definitely be filial to you as a mother."
This sentence of Wan Qing is really ironic.
It has always been the case that when there is something to worry about, it is the Jiang family that is the one to blame.
Jiang Wanqing smiled and said, "My daughter-in-law...will definitely teach Mu Sheng well."
She just felt that over the past year or so, her true feelings had been thrown away.
Old Madam Zhou left Jiang Wanqing's house with satisfaction.
Jiang Wanqing held Xiaoxiao in her arms and walked into the house gently.
The baby was still sleepy and fell asleep again.
Jiang Wanqing tiptoed to put Xiaoxiao in the cradle in the room, then left the house with the nanny.
As soon as Nanny Su left the room, she immediately asked, "Madam, do we really need to write a letter to Mr. Wuchen?"
Jiang Wanqing smiled and said, "I haven't seen the teacher for a long time. As for Zhou Musheng, whether he can impress the teacher on his own depends on his ability."
All people know is that her eldest brother studied under Mr. Wu Chen.
Little did they know that she also studied under Mr. Wu Chen.
Although, I don’t know how I helped Zhou Musheng in my previous life and persuaded the teacher to become Zhou Musheng’s teacher.
But this time, without her help, Zhou Musheng has no chance!
After a while, a maid hurriedly came to Jiang Wanqing.
She whispered, "Madam, the second young lady just went to the accountant's office. I heard that she got very angry before she left. Now the second young lady is coming towards our yard."
Jiang Wanqing raised his eyebrows.
This is expected.
She walked to the stone table in the yard and sat down, while Nanny Su poured tea for her.
As it is hot today, you should drink more water to cool down.
There is not much money left in the account of the Marquis of Xingchang's Mansion.
Apart from the silver that Zhou Ziqi took away this month, how much is left?
"Jiang Wanqing, if you don't want to give me the housekeeper's power, just tell mother directly! Why do you have to be so roundabout to make things difficult for me?"
Before I saw the person, I heard Zhou Ziqi's menacing voice again.
A few seconds later, Zhou Ziqi appeared in front of Jiang Wanqing with his servants.
She became even more angry when she saw Jiang Wanqing drinking tea leisurely.
She threw the account book in front of Jiang Wanqing.
With his hands on his waist and eyes wide open, he angrily said, "You are the Marquis of Xingchang, and there is only this little money in the account book. Who are you trying to deceive?"
Jiang Wanqing glanced at the account book indifferently.
She said slowly, "Second sister has stopped pretending and only calls me by my name. In order to get money from me, she asked me to be a good sister-in-law. It was really unfair to her."
Zhou Ziqi didn't care at all about Jiang Wanqing's sarcastic remarks.
He continued to question: "Don't talk to me about those nonsense. I just want to ask you, where is the money? How can there be so little money in such a huge Xingchang Marquis Mansion? Did you swallow it?"
"I swallowed it?"
Jiang Wanqing felt as if she had heard a huge joke.
There was a 'clang' sound.
Jiang Wanqing picked up the cup in her hand and threw it to the ground.
She stood up, looking directly at Zhou Ziqi with cold eyes.
That kind of oncoming feeling of oppression.
Zhou Ziqi was frightened for a moment.
I couldn't help but take a few steps back.
However, when she thought about it, Jiang Wanqing was now the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, and she was the head of the Zhou family.
At this moment, I felt more confident.
He said stubbornly: "If you don't give me an explanation, we will go to mother together to talk it out!"
Jiang Wanqing took a deep breath.
He blinked, and his deep black eyes met Zhou Ziqi's gaze.
He sneered, "Okay! Then go ask mother why there has been a huge deficit of silver on the account book since I got married to the housekeeper of the Xingchang Marquis's Mansion! Or did I embezzle a lot of the dowry to make up for it?
You want to know why there are only so many silver coins on the account? Why don't you look at it yourself? It records every word and every penny clearly! It records every expense, as well as the dowry money that was taken from me every month after the overspending!
Second sister, aren't you the housekeeper? Why don't you just look at the account book and come to question me instead? "
As Jiang Wanqing spoke, the servants and maids brought by Zhou Ziqi had different expressions.
At the beginning, Jiang Wanqing used her dowry to settle the debt of the Xingchang Marquis' Mansion, but few people knew about it.
Now that Jiang Wanqing said this, everyone knew about this gossip.
If it wasn't said out loud, who would have known that the huge Xingchang Marquisate actually had to spend his daughter-in-law's dowry!
Zhou Ziqi was also stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Madam Zhou also didn't tell her that the mansion was in debt...
Zhou Ziqi murmured: "How could that be? Before you married in, the expenses of the Marquis' Mansion were still normal. How could it be in deficit..."
When Jiang Wanqing heard this, she vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
Before I got married, the Zhou family's expenses were normal.
How come I'm in a deficit after I got married?
How come there are only ten shops in such a huge Marquis of Xingchang Mansion, and most of them are in deficit?
Jiang Wanqing suddenly felt that the Marquis of Xingchang's Mansion seemed to have deliberately dug a big pit for her to fall into.
