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

"Miss, Nanny Tian and Nanny Qian obviously wanted to join you at the beginning, why did you push them to Aunt Liu?"

After returning to Wutongju, when only Liu Tianshu, Qingshan Guanxue and Zheng's mother were left in the house, Qingshan asked in confusion.

"They are the Queen Mother's people. They came to the palace with the Queen Mother's orders. No matter what their purpose is, it's best for us not to get involved."

"Yes!"

Although they didn't quite understand the meaning of Liu Tianshu's words, Qingshan and Guanxue still responded respectfully.

"You two have grown up with me since childhood. In this mansion, besides the nanny, you two are the people I trust the most. In the future, in addition to taking good care of me, you must also protect yourselves."

"Yes!"

Qingshan and Guanxue responded respectfully at the same time.

"Nanny, this place is more dangerous than you think. You must be careful in everything you say and do in the future. Don't let anyone catch you."

"Yes!" Mother Zheng, Aoyama Kanxue and the other two responded at the same time.

"We don't need you to serve us here, all..."

Liu Tianshu was just about to let Qingshan Guanxue and Zheng Mama go to rest when a little maid came over to report that Mama Fang, who was in charge of the garden, wanted to see her.

This Fang mother is also an elder in the mansion, and is also a member of the Hou family. She is responsible for managing the flowers, plants and trees in the mansion garden. It can be said that the reason why the garden scenery in the Hou Mansion is so charming is inseparable from this person's ability.

Although a good gardener can create a garden full of colorful flowers, it is also an expensive thing.

There is no doubt that this old guy came here to ask for money.

"Tell her to wait in the flower hall. I'll be there soon."

"Yes!"

After Liu Tianshu finished speaking, she walked towards the flower hall accompanied by Qingshan Guanxue.

"Meet the Madam..."

Seeing Liu Tianshu coming, Fang's mother immediately came over to pay her respects.

"Mother Fang, you don't have to be so polite."

As Liu Tianshu spoke, she sat down at the first seat, and soon a maid came over to serve her tea.

"Mother Fang is not in the garden taking care of the flowers and trees. Is there something you want to do when you come to my place?"

"Nothing can be hidden from the madam's eyes."

Mother Fang said this in a flattering manner and pursed her lips.

"Madam, it is already midsummer. In previous years, the courtyard would be covered with gauze to prevent mosquitoes and flies from entering the courtyard. However, due to the funeral of the old marquis, no one is in the garden to enjoy the scenery, so no gauze was prepared.

Seeing that the Marquis's residence was about to go into mourning, the old lady ordered a grand banquet to be held on the day of mourning, inviting the ladies of all the residences to come and enjoy the flowers, so this veil was indispensable."

The Liu family is now considered a prominent figure in the capital, but they are not yet generous enough to cover the entire garden with gauze.

There was indeed no such expense in the past few years when she was in charge of the household. However, Liu Tianshu also knew that many truly noble families would indeed cover the entire courtyard when holding a banquet.

Not only because doing so can effectively isolate mosquitoes and flies, but most importantly, those ladies have delicate skin and no one wants to be exposed to the sun.

There is a layer of gauze covering the head, which not only keeps you cool but also prevents you from getting tanned, and also shows the wealth of the mansion.

"Have you ever calculated how much fabric would be needed to cover the entire garden?"

"Madam, the price of gauze varies, and the quality is also very important. This servant..."

"Okay, I'll make a note of this. I'll give you an answer after I look through the account books from previous years and find out the current market price of tulle."

"Yes!"

Mother Fang agreed respectfully and was about to leave when she heard Liu Tianshu say, "The mourning period will begin in a little over a month, so we really need to have a big banquet. Before that, the garden should be carefully tidied up. Go check all the flowers, plants and trees in the garden. If there is any shortage, report to me in three days."

"Yes!"

I thought it would be good enough to be able to take out the money for the tulle this time, but I didn't expect there would be such a pleasant surprise.

Mother Fang readily agreed and left quickly.

After Fang's mother left, Guan Xue said worriedly, "Miss, this mansion has been able to break even in the past three years. If we hold another big banquet, I'm afraid we won't be able to make ends meet in the future."

"If it's not enough, then it's not enough."

Liu Tianshu said indifferently: "The Marquis' Mansion has been quiet for too long, and the brothers and sisters in the mansion all need to propose marriage, so this banquet must not be avoided.

Those people are spending the government's money, not my money, so why should I save money for them?"

Hearing Liu Tianshu's words, Guan Xue sighed softly.

After this happened, his young lady was in a dilemma.

Noticing that the two little girls behind her were in a bad mood, Liu Tianshu smiled and comforted them, "Silly girl, I am not that depressed, and you should not think too much. We have to live our lives, so we just take it one step at a time."

Looking at the smile on Liu Tianshu's face, Qingshan said distressedly: "Miss, when will our life end?"

"Life may not be easy after leaving here, and I think my current life is pretty good..."

"Miss, the Marquis doesn't even come to your room, and now there's another concubine Liu. I'm afraid our lives will become more and more difficult."

Liu Tianshu patted Qingshan's hand in a soothing manner and said with a smile: "I am the mistress of the house. As long as I don't make myself angry, who can make me angry?"

"But the Marquis..."

"Don't think too much, just follow me and live your life in peace."

Without waiting for Guan Xue to finish her words, Liu Tianshu said with a smile.

There will be many banquets of all sizes in the mansion, and she is busy with other things, so she has no time to care who Gu Jinyun likes.

Of course, she would never forget the grudge from her previous life, but now Liu Tian'ai and the child in her belly were protected by the Queen Mother, so she could not take the initiative to attack. If she did, she had to succeed in one strike.

Thinking of this, Liu Tianshu couldn't help but look towards Hou.

Seeing that the Marquis' Mansion was in mourning, Liu Tian'ai had already begun to show signs of pregnancy. As long as she appeared in public, everyone would know that the Marquis' Mansion was in mourning.

This is not a good reputation. In addition, Gu Jinqing's future husband is the second son of the Chang family. Even for her daughter's face, Liu Tian'er must not keep this baby.

Although Liu Tianshu and Liu Tian'ai are half-sisters, Hou can see that their relationship is not good.

Now that Liu Tian'ai had married into the family with a big belly, she had thought that Liu Tianshu would be the first one to lose his temper and take action. Unexpectedly, not only did he not take action, he also gave Liu Tian'ai the power to cook and purchase ingredients, making it difficult for her to take action on the meal.

With the Queen Mother putting pressure on her, Hou did not dare to attack Liu Tian'ai openly. She was trying hard to think about how to get rid of the piece of meat in Liu Tian'ai's belly without leaving any trace.

As a concubine, even though Liu Tian'ai was favored in her natal family, she only brought two personal maids with her. All the people in the yard were newly bought from outside.

Hou easily bribed the two little girls inside.

The manpower is ready, the only thing missing is the timing, it depends on when she can make up her mind to take action...
