Catching an adulterer at the beginning, the mistress of the Marquisate went crazy

"Don't even think about it."

Mingcui sighed.

"Madam has been keeping a close eye on us and has never let us meet the Marquis. Now she and the Marquis are living a happy life together, so how could she allow us to seduce the Marquis?"

"We are from Liuyuan now, she..."

Minglu really wanted to say that she couldn't control them now, but when they thought about how their aunt was punished by her and had to kneel in the yard for three hours every day, they immediately gave up the idea of ​​climbing up.

"This Liu Tianyi seemed quite powerful at first, but I didn't expect that she would be nothing after arriving at the Marquis' Mansion."

"Who says it isn't?"

Ming Lu taunted, "If Madam hadn't suddenly sent us here, I wouldn't want to serve someone like this."

"Don't think about it. Now that things have come to this, we can only take it one step at a time."

Ming Cui sighed, "I don't know when this rain will stop. If it continues like this, the clothes in my closet will soon mold."

"It's the same with me. I've almost run out of clothes to wear, and the weather isn't sunny yet."

At the same time, many people in the capital were hoping that the rain would stop soon. However, although the rain was not heavy, it showed no sign of stopping.

In contrast, Liu Tianshu knew that the rain would last at least half a month, so she was not in a hurry at all and just settled the accounts in the room with peace of mind.

The Marquis's Mansion didn't look big, so in order to convince others, she naturally had to calculate every account clearly.

If it were an ordinary person, it would be difficult for him to control the household finances, and he would inevitably embezzle some money from it.

Since the death of the old marquis, the income of the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion has shrunk greatly, but money is still being spent like water every day.

If this continues, sooner or later the Marquis' Mansion will be unable to make ends meet. Liu Tianshu is in charge of the household expenses of the mansion and does not want to leave such a handle for others to catch.

Besides, she could make a lot of money through the tea business this time, so she didn't care about the mere trifles of the Marquis' Mansion.

Just then, a little maid came to report that Rong'er, the maid in the Third Miss's yard, and Mama Yang in the laundry room had a quarrel.

Mother Yang in the laundry room is also the old lady's person. Because the job she is in charge of is not important and she is usually serious about her work, Liu Tianshu couldn't find a good reason to replace her for the time being.

When he heard her arguing with Gu Jinqing's maid, he immediately became interested.

"Qingshan, follow him and find out the situation. If you can handle it, do so. If you can't, bring the person to me."

"Yes!"

Qingshan responded respectfully, put on his boots, held an umbrella and left with the maid.

The weather has been bad recently and the road is wet with rain. Liu Tianshu would not make a personal trip just for the quarrel between two servants.

As Qingshan left, the little maid quickly followed him.

The weather has been bad recently, and Nanny Yue has something on her mind, so she rarely comes to Liu Tianshu's place, for fear that she will find out something.

It was also because Nanny Yue was feeling guilty, otherwise she would have discovered that Liu Tianshu had noticed her abnormality a long time ago but just didn't say it out loud.

After a cup of tea, Qingshan brought Gu Jinqing's maid Rong'er and Mother Yang over.

Both of them were covered in moisture and mud. Rong'er also had a large patch of mud on her body and hair. Mother Yang's hair was disheveled and there were two scratches on her face. It was obvious that these two had experienced a "big battle" before coming here, and the battle was not simple.

Liu Tianshu tried hard to suppress the smile in her heart and looked at the two people in front of her with a stern face and displeasure.

"Tell me, why are you two arguing in the mansion? Don't you know that there are rules in the mansion that servants are not allowed to fight casually?"

"Madam, slave..."

Before Madam Yang finished her words, Rong'er rushed to say, "Madam, this is all Madam Yang's fault. Miss's clothes have been sent over for ten days and they haven't been cleaned yet. Miss San asked me to go over and urge them, but Madam Yang said the weather was bad and they couldn't wash them. The clothes are still piled up and haven't been moved..."

"Mother Yang, is what Rong'er said true?" Liu Tianshu asked Mother Yang in a cold voice.

Mother Yang has also seen the world, so she would naturally not be scared by Liu Tianshu's cold face.

"Madam, it has been raining every day for the past half month. We can wash the clothes in the room, but we can't hang them out to dry. That's why they have been piled up and not washed..."

"Rong'er, you've heard it too. The weather has been bad recently. If you don't dry your clothes after washing them, they will only get moldy faster. Mother Yang is not wrong to do this."

"Madam, I also know this truth. We can just deal with the servants' clothes, but how can the Third Miss wear unclean clothes?"

After Rong'er finished speaking, she said unhappily, "What's more, this old woman lit a brazier in the room. The masters' clothes were not washed, but she washed all her own clothes and dried them with fire..."

Liu Tianshu slammed the small table beside her and glared at Mother Yang.

"Mother Yang, since you can use the brazier to dry clothes, why do you only dry your own clothes instead of taking care of the master's clothes first?"

After being caught making a mistake by Rong'er, Mother Yang's eyes flashed with guilt, but after all, she had seen the world, so she would not be stumped by such a small problem.

"Madam, the reason why I lit the brazier is because I have a cold leg that cannot stand the cold. The weather has been cold and damp recently, and my cold leg has come back. As for drying clothes, how can you bring the Third Miss's clothes to a whore like me to dry in my room?"

Rong Er said unhappily, "You know the difference between high and low, but you don't care about your master and only care about yourself. I think you just don't want to do the laundry for the Third Miss."

"I……"

Mother Yang felt even more guilty.

Recently she had been using the weather as an excuse and had not been doing the laundry. She had even thought of an excuse to give her master, but she did not expect Rong'er to rush directly into her room and see her roasting her clothes in a brazier.

"Madam, Madam Yang is just being lazy on purpose, you must not let her off."

"Madam, I really didn't mean to be lazy. It's just that the weather is bad and I can't wash clothes..."

After saying that, Mother Yang did not wait for Rong'er to speak and continued, "Madam, the charcoal used in my room is the lowest quality. I can stand the smell of smoke and fire, but I am afraid that it will damage the clothes of the third young lady. If the mansion can provide the best silver charcoal, I will ask someone to wash the clothes for the third young lady..."

"Mother Yang, the mansion doesn't have that kind of expense."

It was unexpected that Mother Yang could bring herself to say that she wanted to use silver charcoal to roast clothes. Liu Tianshu interrupted coldly.

"You two should stop arguing. It's not Madam Yang's fault that the weather is bad, and it's not Madam Yang's fault that the clothes don't dry after washing. The charcoal she used was also bought with her own money, and it can't be used exclusively for the Marquis' Mansion..."

Hearing Liu Tianshu saying that Madam Yang was right, Rong'er asked anxiously, "Madam, are you just not going to care about the Third Miss's clothes?"
