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

Looking at those pieces of fabrics and jewelry that were beyond choice, Liu Tian'ai turned around and walked out the door.

The two maids in charge of guarding the gate stretched out their hands to block Liu Tian'ai's way.

"Madam Liu, are you going to let down the old lady's kindness?"

"Who the hell do you think you are to block my way..."

After saying that, Liu Tian'ai slapped one of the maids hard on the face with a loud slap.

Seeing the little maid being beaten, Hou said angrily: "Madam Liu has a bad temper. As the saying goes, you have to look at the owner before you beat the dog. It is not your turn to teach the servants in my yard a lesson."

"Who asked them to block my way?"

Liu Tianyi was not convinced and said, "We are both concubines in this mansion, why should they choose before me?"

After saying that, Liu Tian'ai pointed angrily at the remaining fabrics and jewelry.

"Madam, can you please tell me which piece of jewelry or fabric here is suitable for my age?"

Facing Liu Tian's accusation, Hou didn't even raise her eyelids. Mother Luo reminded her coldly, "Madam Liu, according to the rules, an aunt is only half a master. Although the other aunts have the same status as you, they are the ones who serve the old marquis after all, and they are superior to you in seniority."

There is an order of seniority, and Liu Tianyi could not refute this. She opened her mouth several times, and finally said dryly: "Even so, there is not a single piece of jewelry or fabric here that I like. Can't I just give it up?"

"Are you sure you don't want to choose one of these jewels that suits your taste?" Hou put down the teacup in her hand and asked with a sneer.

"No more."

Liu Tianyi said stubbornly: "From now on, I don't want these leftover fabrics and jewelry from others."

“According to the rules of the mansion, Aunt Liu is the lowest-ranking mistress in the mansion, and you can only take your turn after everyone has chosen.

Since you don't like these fabrics and jewelry, I think you won't like them in the future either. The two shopkeepers, please go to the side shop and have a cup of tea first."

Knowing that Hou was going to take care of family affairs, the two shopkeepers wisely took their things and people and left the main hall.

Liu Tian'ai had lived in ancient times for more than ten years. Although she didn't know how Hou would deal with her after letting those outsiders leave, she was confident that Hou would not dare to deal with her openly because of her belly.

The Queen Mother's spies are everywhere in this mansion. She wants to keep the piece of meat in Liu Tian'ai's belly, so Hou Shi really doesn't dare to do anything to her.

Gently wiping the tea residue from the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, Hou looked at Liu Tian'er intently.

"Madam Liu, let me ask you one more question, are you sure you don't want your share of the profits?"

"No."

Liu Tianyi said affirmatively.

"it is good."

Hou turned to Liu Tianshu and said, "Liu, you heard it too. This is what Madam Liu said she didn't want a share of the profits in the mansion. From now on, all of Madam Liu's expenses in the mansion cannot come from the public funds."

The reason why Liu Tian'ai stubbornly refused the fabrics and jewelry that he disliked was because she thought it would only happen this time.

From now on, she will live in the Marquis' Mansion, which will completely cut off her expenses in the Mansion. How will she survive in the future?

Thinking of this, Liu Tian'ai became anxious and looked at Liu Tianshu fiercely, hoping that she could say a few good words for her.

Under Liu Tian's gaze, Liu Tianshu smiled bitterly and asked, "Aunt Liu, do you really not want those jewelry and fabrics?"

"I……"

When she thought about how she would have to stop all her expenses if she refused, Liu Tian'ai could no longer say no with certainty.

But when she thought about the remaining fabrics and jewelry that she could not use at all, and that if she took them back they would just be given away as gifts or left in the warehouse to gather dust, she felt extremely depressed.

"I……"

"Madam Liu, you are just a concubine, you cannot call yourself me..."

Hou Shi reminded him coldly, "I don't care how you live in the Liu family. Now that you have done everything for my mansion, you must abide by the rules of my mansion."

"Yes!"

When you are under the eaves, you have to bow your head. Liu Tian'ai clenched the handkerchief in her hand tightly.

"Thank you, old lady, for your reward..."

Seeing that Liu Tian'ai had surrendered, Hou no longer made things difficult for her.

"Madam Liu, remember your identity and give Madam this favor today, otherwise you will have no share in anything in the mansion in the future."

"Yes!"

Liu Tianyi gritted her teeth and agreed again.

"Very good." Liu Tian'ai gave in just like that, and Hou Shi just felt it was boring.

"I'm tired. Go to the yard and pick out a piece of cloth and two pieces of jewelry you like, and then leave."

"Yes!"

Hearing Hou's tone, which was like shooing away a fly, Liu Tian'ai was almost furious, but she had to endure it for the sake of the monthly allowance of five taels of silver per day and everything that would happen in the future.

At this moment, she finally realized the real difference between herself, a concubine, and Liu Tianshu, the mistress of the house.

At the same time, she hated Liu Tianshu even more for ruining all her plans.

If she had not noticed something strange in the cave at the beginning, and if she had planned carefully, Gu Jinyun might have married her as his co-wife.

Although the status of a concubine is not as good as that of the principal wife, her status is definitely higher than those of illegitimate sons and daughters, and even higher than those of the old marquis' concubines. Naturally, she does not need to pick up things that others don't want.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. After Liu Tian'ai agreed, she didn't even bow to Hou, but turned around and walked out the door.

"My eldest sister-in-law's family is really well-educated. You can get a glimpse of the whole picture by looking at Aunt Liu's behavior."

"Third sister is also a good tutor. My daughter of the Liu family is indeed not as well tutored as Third sister."

With Hou Shi here, there would be no benefit for Liu Tianshu even if she won the argument with Gu Jinqing.

After saying this, Liu Tianshu bowed to Madam Hou and said, "Since you have finished choosing the items, I will go to the two shopkeepers to settle the bill."

After saying that, Liu Tianshu walked out the door without looking back.

"You all should go back first..."

Hou was furious after being humiliated by the Liu sisters one after another, but she pretended to be gentle and generous on the surface.

He waved his hand and asked all the concubines and illegitimate sons and daughters in the room to leave.

"Mother, this concubine Liu is getting bolder and bolder. And my sister-in-law looks gentle and kind, but her words are full of thorns. If she is allowed to be the head of the family from now on, how can we live a good life..."

Hou also didn't want Liu Tianshu to be the head of the family, but unfortunately she was no match for the empress dowager, so she sighed helplessly.

"After all, your sister-in-law controls the entire Marquis' Mansion. Don't confront her in the future."

"Not afraid of her."

Gu Jinqing was not convinced and said, "Mother, you have worked hard for the Marquis' Mansion for more than ten years, but she took away your housekeeper power as soon as she entered the house. I really feel sorry for you."

Thinking of her housekeeper power, Hou's teeth clattered and she took several deep breaths before she calmed herself down.

She was not afraid of Liu Tianshu, but of the Queen Mother, because she knew better than anyone that although the mansion was named after the Gu family, in reality, everything here was decided by the Queen Mother.

Even Liu Tianshu was only the manager of the Marquis' Mansion, but she had no right to be the master of the Mansion...
