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

Before she came into his house, he already disliked her because of her low social status and that she was not worthy of Jiang Shang. Now he is humiliating her like this!

Nanny Jiang dismissed everyone around her, leaving only Jiang Yilin present.

He smiled and consoled her, "Madam, don't be too angry with yourself. If you ask me, it would be good for the old lady to take back the housekeeping power at this time."

There is something that Nanny Jiang dare not say. In fact, the old lady's housekeeper is indeed much better than Luo's housekeeper.

Luo is too selfish and petty, and her ability to control her subordinates is far inferior to that of the old lady.

Otherwise, the incident between Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Liu wouldn't have happened.

But she was just a servant and could not judge her master casually. Moreover, from her point of view, the Duke's Mansion could not be harmonious, it would be better if there was chaos!

"What are you saying, Madam Jiang? Are you old and your mind is confused?" Luo raised her face and said unhappily.

Jiang Yilin looked at Nanny Jiang thoughtfully.

Compared with her closeness to Mrs. Luo, Jiang Yilin respected Nanny Jiang more, because she felt that Nanny Jiang was a very wise person and had taught her a lot over the years.

Moreover, Nanny Jiang was extremely loyal to her, to the extent that she was willing to die for her.

Who would be stupid enough to refuse such a servant?

So Jiang Yilin spoke up to help Madam Jiang and said, "Mother, please listen to Madam Jiang's explanation first."

Luo looked up at her pretty little daughter, who was so well-behaved, sweet and charming, which made people feel good at first sight.

His anger subsided by three points. "Okay, you old man, explain it to me, or I won't let you go."

Nanny Jiang was originally a person brought by Luo from her mother's family. She had been Luo's confidante for decades. Because she worked hard and devotedly for Luo at the border for decades, Jiang Shang gave her the surname Jiang.

Otherwise, Nanny Jiang’s original surname was Cao.

Hearing this, Nanny Jiang was not afraid, and still had that smiling face of a Buddha who was confident of victory, "There are two reasons. First, our sister Lin will be getting married in two months, and Madam has to prepare at least 150 dan of dowry for sister Lin, and they have to be good things, not those small things that are just for show.

"A girl's dowry represents her confidence in her husband's family. In addition to the things that are obvious, she must also prepare fertile fields, shops, farms, gardens, etc. The more the better.

"The Duke has been in a high position for so many years, and his salary is not low, but Madam knows that the Duke is lenient to his subordinates and considerate of the soldiers. He feels pity for this and miserable for that. He only regrets that he cannot move all the money to the military camp, so that our public account is stretched to the limit.

“But the old lady is different.

"She not only had a rich dowry when she was young, but she also knew how to amass wealth. Her private treasury is probably unmatched by many old ladies from aristocratic families.

"When Madam was in charge of the household, if she was cruel and didn't give Sister Lin any more makeup or gave her less, Madam would have no words to say. But now that she is the housekeeper, it's different. We can't let our Sister Lin be laughed at by outsiders, right?

"Sister Lin is the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion. If she is laughed at, it means the Duke's Mansion is laughed at. It means the old lady is derelict in her duty as the housekeeper. The Duke will definitely be unhappy if he knows about it. That's why I say it would be beneficial for the old lady to take back the housekeeper's power now."

Nanny Jiang spoke clearly and logically, and she always thought from the perspective of Luo and Jiang Yilin, so her words convinced the two of them without much effort.

The more Jiang Yilin listened, the tighter she clutched her handkerchief, excitedly feeling that the future was bright.

Who wouldn't want to marry the man you've loved since you were seven or eight years old, live in harmony with him, and have mountains of gold and silver in your hands?

The mother and daughter looked at each other, and Luo's restless mood was instantly calmed down.

After adjusting his sitting posture, he felt much calmer. "Then, what about the second one?"

She was quite obsessed with the housekeeper's power, and even though she had the one advantage just mentioned, she still felt very uncomfortable.

Matron Jiang continued, "Secondly, the old lady is old and her health has been weakened by illness, and the imperial physician has said that she should not work too hard.

"Originally, the Duke felt sorry for the old lady's overwork as a housekeeper, so he asked Madam to assist until she could handle the job on her own. But now the old lady insists on taking it back. If anything goes wrong, it can't be Madam's fault.

"The Duke is far away at the border, and the Madam is staying at home in the capital. It's already unfair enough, and now the old lady is putting her in such a position. Can't she cry and complain as much as she wants?

"But there is one thing, Madam, you can't argue with the old lady. Otherwise, if something happens to the old lady, wouldn't the Duke be hostile to you?"

As she spoke, Nanny Jiang suddenly looked at Jiang Yilin apologetically, "I shouldn't have said this in front of Sister Lin, but I thought that Sister Lin would be married soon. If she meets a difficult mother-in-law in the future, she can't just stand there and let others bully her, right? I hope Madam won't blame me."

In an instant, Luo understood the key point of Nanny Jiang's words.

Simply put, it means temporarily giving up the housekeeper's power, emptying the old woman's private treasury to earn face for Sister Lin, and then privately sending a letter to the border to tell the old lady how domineering and overbearing she is, so that the man can understand her and feel sorry for her.

At the same time, being a housekeeper is a very tiring job. The old lady is already terminally ill, and she might pass away soon due to all the overwork!

By then, wouldn't she have everything, whether it's the power of housekeeper or the care and love of a man?

My daughter can also marry in style.

This is not just killing two birds with one stone, but killing three birds with one stone!

After figuring this out, a smile immediately appeared on Luo's face.

She reached out and pulled Jiang Yilin to her side, looking her up and down, fully expressing a mother's earnest love and expectations for her daughter.

"No, why should I blame you? I gave birth to four children in my life. The eldest and the second were raised stupid by the old lady, and now they have become half-human and half-ghost. Who else can I rely on except Sister Lin?

"Sister Lin is good, which means I am good, and we are all good.

"Besides, the family she is about to marry is not a simple one. The Princess of Qin Palace is not the biological mother of Prince Yan. The stepmother is in charge. Won't our Sister Lin be tortured by then?

"It would be a good thing for Sister Lin to learn some tricks to deal with the old woman first."

As he spoke, he smiled and patted Jiang Yilin's hand lovingly.

Luo was originally a gentle and considerate girl, but unfortunately she had been raised in the border area for these years and had become a lot colder and more aggressive.

Except for Jiang Yilin, she is rarely so gentle to anyone else.

The same was true for the third child whom she raised personally. The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment when giving up. Luo treated Jiang Yuanlang much better than Jiang Yuanyi and Jiang Yuanchen, but still far worse than Jiang Yilin.

While Luo was chattering about these things, Jiang Yilin had already understood them more thoroughly.

I couldn't help but admire Nanny Jiang even more.

She looked shy, "Mother, we have just been engaged, don't you consider your daughter's face at all? You said these things in front of your daughter, really."

Jiang Yilin pulled Luo's sleeve and shook it, looking delicate and weak, with admiring eyes, anyone who saw her would be attracted to her.

Luo suddenly chuckled, "Madam Jiang, look, this little girl clearly wanted to listen and refused to leave, but now she blames us for not letting her go?

"With her cleverness, I think both Princess Jiqin and Prince Yan will be completely controlled by her and will enjoy endless wealth and glory from now on."

Upon hearing this, Nanny Jiang smiled at Jiang Yilin and said, "This is the result of Madam's careful teaching over the years. In the future, the legitimate daughter will be able to enjoy a smooth life with her husband, and Madam and the Duke will be in love with each other. Isn't it perfect?"

In her cloudy and bright eyes, there was no lack of satisfaction and joy for Jiang Yilin, but when it came to Luo, this joy faded a lot, and there was even a bit of unreal disgust.

Luo was so busy looking at Jiang Yilin that she didn't notice anything.

At this time, there was a knock on the door. It was Pinzhu, the head maid who served Luo Shi. "Madam, the second young master wants to see you."

Luo was originally in a good mood. She was holding Jiang Yilin's hand and was about to talk about marriage. But when she suddenly heard the words "Second Young Master", her smile immediately dropped and she looked unhappy.

"Yuan Chen? Didn't he instigate the old lady to deal with the maidservants around me? He also promoted that little bitch Xuezhi and is now very happy. Why is he looking for me at this time?"
