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

In the Canglan Courtyard, Mother Luo stayed beside Hou, fanning her gently.

"Madam, in the past two years that Madam has been in charge of the household, she has replaced many of the old people we have arranged. It is rare that she has taken the initiative to give up the housekeeping power. This is a good time for us to change people. Why do you refuse?"

"Such a big thing happened in the Marquis' Mansion. Now that I have taken over the management, people outside think that I am not a strict manager. If I have this time, I might as well ask someone to find out which family has boys and girls who are ready for trial marriage. Our second young master and third young lady are both old enough to discuss marriage."

"The old lady is wise."

Mother Luo's eyes flashed with disappointment, but she praised: "Nothing is more important than my brother and sister's marriage now."

"Who says it isn't?"

Hou smiled complacently.

"You should talk to those people too. Don't always focus on the things in the mansion. Help me take care of the shops outside. You will definitely benefit from it."

"Yes!"

A hint of unwillingness flashed across Mother Luo's eyes, but she quickly agreed respectfully.

Being a steward outside is indeed easier than getting a job in the mansion, but business is not so easy to do now. If you can't earn enough money for the master, the old lady will be the first one to not forgive those people.

Alas, when working in someone else's house, as long as the shop manager finds a plausible reason, he can report a lot less profit and enrich himself.

Their master was afraid that he was earning less, so every time he counted the accounts, he could only make a profit and not lose money, and he could not earn less. Many people wanted to return to the mansion to work, but the current marquis's wife didn't need them, the old people.

Her husband has complained to her about this many times, always wanting her to find an opportunity to transfer him back home.

She is on the old lady's side. The housekeeper now is the marquis's wife. She can't even take care of her own people, so how can she employ the old lady's people?

The madam handed over the housekeeping power today, and thought that those people outside finally had hope, but she didn't expect that the old lady had no intention of taking over the housekeeping power.

Mother Luo sighed secretly.

Although Hou couldn't hear the sighs in Mother Luo's heart, she knew the little thoughts of her subordinates, but she never took it to heart.

In her heart, slaves must have their own value.

The old marquis has passed away, and the concubines and illegitimate sons and daughters in the mansion are no longer a threat. The position of marquis has fallen to Gu Jinyun, and there is a limit to what those people can do for her if they stay in the mansion.

Once upon a time, Hou dreamed of having his son replace Gu Jinyun's position as the crown prince and become the next Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. Unfortunately, although Gu Jinyun's mother died early, she was the niece of the current empress dowager and the cousin of the emperor.

If Gu Jinyun doesn't die, her son will never have a chance to succeed.

She had thought about taking action in the past, but before she could act, she was discovered and sent to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother warned her directly that if anything happened to Gu Jinyun, regardless of whether the matter had anything to do with her or not, she and her sons, daughters, and her maternal clan would be buried with Gu Jinyun.

The lives of her entire family were in the hands of the empress dowager. Even if Hou had thousands of abilities and means, she would not dare to use them.

Now that the old marquis is gone, the emperor immediately appointed Gu Jinyun as the new Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery as soon as the news of the old marquis' accident arrived. No matter how unwilling she was, she had to let it go.

Now that the Marquis' Mansion is gradually out of her control, what good will it do even if she takes back the power to be the head of the family?

Can she defeat a young girl like Liu Tianshu, and even the emperor and the empress dowager?

She also knew the reasons why Luo's mother's husband wanted to return to the mansion, but she had already lost the mansion and could not lose her money again. She wanted her sons and daughters to live a life of ease and comfort even without titles. Was there anything wrong with that?

At the same time, Hou had been in charge of the rear house for more than ten years, so she naturally knew the character of these old people in the mansion. If she relaxed a little, those people would dare to swallow up all the property in her hands bit by bit.

The widow is in a difficult position. She holds her things tightly in her hands. Is there anything wrong with that?

At the same time, he always had people keeping an eye on the shop's daily business. The reason why those who managed the shops complained about everything was only because they had received less benefits recently, not that they had none at all.

Those people are too ungrateful, so why does she treat them so well?

Just then, a little girl came in and bowed respectfully to Hou.

"Madam, my lady heard that you were ill and came to visit you. Would you please let me in?"
