The reborn son cursed his mother, bah, she heard it all

"Gulp...Gulp..." The child panted and swallowed at the same time, as if the drink was endless.

Yan Zhuo's ears turned red. He did not eavesdrop on purpose, but the stone table was right outside the door and the yard was extremely quiet. There was not even the sound of servants walking around, but he heard it unconsciously.

Moreover, the brain quickly transforms what it hears into images, without being controlled by the will of the person...

The familiar erotic scene made every cell in his body feel like it was on fire. In an instant, his clothes stuck to his body as if they were soaked through. A certain part of his body was tense and stiff. Yan Zhuo could feel the roaring from there without even lowering his head!

Yan Zhuo stood up suddenly, ignored everyone, and walked out with a sullen face.

Qi Ren, who was standing at the foot of the wall holding a sword, followed a beat late and looked puzzled.

"Your Majesty, why did you leave so suddenly? I haven't even picked up the medicinal stones you bought yet."

Although he was far away just now, he saw it clearly. The prince gave away the jade pendant of the late princess and only asked for those few medicinal stones at such a huge price. How could he just not take them?

Even if the prince doesn't feel sorry for the jade pendant, he still feels sorry for the medicinal herbs!

Yan Zhuo continued to stride forward, his voice extremely dull, "Go back and get it."

Stimulated by this, Yan Zhuo forgot all about the procedures of wedding and taking concubines.

When Jiang Ying came out after feeding, there was no one in the yard. She was stunned, "Auntie Chen, what happened? Where is everyone?"

Aunt Chen had just killed and cleaned up the chicken. She was wondering if the prince would have dinner here tonight, and she was dumbfounded when she saw this.

"Old slave...I don't know. Did he leave first because of an emergency?"

Jiang Ying is not the kind of person who seeks trouble for herself. Since she can't find the reason for the time being, she won't ask. Anyway, she just doesn't want to argue with Yan Zhuo.

What's the point of taking a concubine or not? Even if the sun rises from the west, it's impossible.

Duke Jiang's Mansion——

The old lady showed her usual decisiveness and ruthlessness and scolded Luo harshly. In the end, not only did Luo fail to save the two old women, but she was so angry that her face turned blue.

After all, Lian's seniority is there, and she has been in control of the Duke's Mansion for many years. When she is willing to let it go, others can still take advantage of the situation, but if she is unwilling, it would be like a frog jumping onto a hot pan - seeking death!

In front of all the servants, the old lady did not give Luo any face at all, "As the mistress, you are spoiling your servants and failing to discipline them, which is dereliction of duty!

"As a mother, you are spoiling your son and daughter, and you are not treating them equally, which is imbalance!

"Not to mention that you chose such a marriage for Sister Lin!

"From today on, the housekeeping power will be handed back to me. If you are dissatisfied, just write a letter to my son who is in prison. I don't believe he can rebel against the heavens!"

After the old lady finished speaking, she did not give Luo any time to react and had someone bring up Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Liu on the spot.

The two men had been beaten with dozens of boards before, their lower bodies were bloody and fleshy, not to mention their legs were broken.

The old lady's face was solemn, and she spoke loudly, "Everyone in the mansion, open your eyes and see clearly! Our mansion is not a casual place. The country has its own laws, and the family has its own rules. If you make a mistake, you must be punished, but correspondingly, if you do well, you will also be rewarded.

"Today, Wang Po and Liu Po ​​have committed crimes against their superiors, offended distinguished guests, and abused private punishment. They are to be punished with thirty strokes of the cane and expelled from the mansion. They will never be employed again!

"And Xuezhi, for taking good care of the Second Young Master and protecting him loyally, was promoted to a first-class A-grade maid, and was awarded ten taels of silver and ten days of vacation. After her injuries are healed, she can go back and reunite with her family."

hiss--

The old lady's words caused a great uproar among all the servants.

Everyone was whispering in fear and joy.

It was mainly the ridicule of Wang Pozi and Liu Pozi, as well as the envy of Xuezhi who not only got the upgrade but also received rewards and a vacation.

Someone couldn't help but say, "Serves them right! It should have been like this a long time ago. Those old ladies Wang and Liu relied on the fact that they were brought back from the border by the Madam, and they have been showing off in front of us for many years!"

"That's right. The old lady hasn't taken care of things for nearly a year. The old people in our mansion are either sent to wash clothes or to tend the garden. We do the dirtiest and most tiring work for the least pay!"

"Xuezhi looks so pitiful. She has been serving the Second Young Master like a savior and has been bullied by his wife. Now she is finally getting her wish..."

Except for a few maids and old women who were close to the Luo family, no one else had any objection to the old lady taking back the power of housekeeper.

Seeing this, Luo's face turned even paler and she was indignant. "Mother, isn't this a bit too much? I have never heard of an old lady from a noble family taking out the housekeeper's power and then taking it back."

It would have been fine during those years at the border, as she was out of reach, but now that she has returned to Beijing, her husband is capable, her baby is pregnant, and her son and daughter are filial. Why shouldn't she be the head of the household?

Because of this, she was laughed at by many people behind her back when she first returned to Beijing.

So when the two sons got into trouble and the old woman became disheartened and refused to hold on to power any longer, the happiest person was Luo.

And the first thing she did after taking office was to replace important positions such as the kitchen and small warehouse with her own people!

Po Wang and Po Liu were just minor housekeepers in the inner courtyard. It didn't matter much if they were beaten and kicked out. The key point was that the old lady killed the chicken to scare the monkey and took back the housekeeper's power. How could she gain a foothold in the circle of noble ladies in Beijing in the future?

"Humph!" The old lady sneered, "What, do you want to say that I am an old fool who goes back on my word?

"Do you think I, an old woman, care about these things?

"Luo, if you hadn't run the house so badly, Brother Yi and Brother Chen, as masters, would have been humiliated by the servants. I'm already old, with my feet almost in the ground. How could it be so serious?"

The old lady slammed the table and stood up. "It's settled! If you feel wronged, unwilling, or even hate me, go ahead and make a scene, and I'll wait for the person who makes the decision for you to come to me and ask for punishment!"

After saying this, he walked straight out. His aura was so strong that everyone present was silenced.

Luo gritted his teeth for a moment, his face pale.

It was only at this moment that she suddenly realized that the Duke's Mansion had never truly belonged to her.

"Mother!"

Even so, Luo still felt hatred in his heart. He couldn't help but stand up suddenly with an unprecedented determination on his face.

He looked as if he was ready to go all out to settle accounts with the old lady.

But when the old lady turned her head, she was pulled by Nanny Jiang beside her and staggered to sit down again.

Nanny Jiang bowed and said with a smile, "Madam, you are outspoken. Please don't mind. I will wait for you on your behalf and wish you a safe journey."

Seeing Nanny Jiang, Nanny Tang couldn't help but support the old lady with a little nervousness.

The latter glanced at Nanny Jiang quietly for a while, snorted softly, and then walked up and down Kangjitang slowly.

As soon as the talent stepped out of the door, Luo couldn't help but smashed a cup.

"She, she really goes too far!"
