Madam Gu yelled in a gruff voice.

Song Mingli sighed, "The prince didn't want to marry me at the beginning, it was the old lady who forced you to marry me.

"The Song family was unaware of this at the time. They only saw the prince kneeling in front of the Song family gate. If my father had known that it was not your wish to marry me, he would not have married me.

"Now, even the old lady doesn't believe me. There's really no need to dwell on this.

"Zi Su, go get the divorce agreement I wrote when I was at the Song family last time, and ask the prince to sign it."

Gu Qingshan’s face turned pale.

His grandmother's coercion and Song Mingli's lack of attachment made him feel like he was attacked from both sides.

"What if we just hand over the Marquis' Mansion to her to manage?" Sun was anxious.

Song Mingli can't leave now!

I'm counting on her to organize the funeral for the Marquis!

If she passed away, what would we do with the funeral? Would we have to borrow money to hold it?

If people knew that the Marquis' Mansion couldn't even afford the Marquis' funeral...it would be such a disgrace.

Don’t even think about holding your head up high in the capital for the rest of your life!

"The old lady is getting confused! Mingli, you are a sensible child, why are you arguing with an old lady!

"Mother believes in you! Shan'er also believes in you! The power of the housekeeper should be yours!"

Sun said, pushing Su Yi, "What are you standing there for? Why don't you return the warehouse keys and account books to your sister-in-law!"

Song Mingli shook his head. "The key to the storehouse and the account books of the Marquis' Mansion are not the steward's rights."

If you only take these things, you will be like a slave to the Gu family!

“If you let me manage the household, you have to replace all the people in charge with my own, so that I can manage it.

"Otherwise, please ask mother and cousin to take care of it!"

Song Mingli had a cold expression and a resolute attitude.

"No! That's what she was going to do!"

Madam Gu said anxiously, "If she replaces all the stewards with her people, you will be sidelined by her! The mansion will become her mansion!"

Sun and Gu Qingshan looked at each other, then walked aside and whispered.

"Shan'er, do you want to divorce her?"

“What is mother talking about… Father just left, now is not the right time!” Gu Qingshan’s heart suddenly tightened.

"That's what I think! Why not let her be the housekeeper? I don't believe a daughter-in-law can be more powerful than a mother-in-law?" Sun snorted, "Let's coax her into holding the funeral first!"

Gu Qingshan is the head of the family!

After his father passed away, he immediately inherited his father's title and became a marquis!

What would happen even if the power of housekeeper was given to Song Mingli?

Don’t you have to listen to the head of the family in everything?

“Okay, let’s do as you say.” Gu Qingshan said to Song Mingli.

"Oh! It's ruined! It's ruined! My Changning Marquis Mansion is going to be destroyed in your hands!" Old Madam Gu immediately slapped her thigh and burst into tears.

Song Mingli nodded and said, "Thank you, mother, for your trust. Let's wait until after my father's funeral before handing over."

"No! Why wait till later!" Sun said anxiously, "Your cousin has no experience in doing this! I don't have enough energy! Hand it over now! It will be easier for you to do it after the handover!"

Song Mingli glanced at Su Yi and said, "Okay."

Su Yi looked at Sun sadly.

While Song Mingli turned around and left, she complained to Sun in a low voice, "I've been the housekeeper for so long, and I haven't contributed anything. Now I'm giving it to her like this?"

"If I don't give it to her, will you pay for her funeral?" Sun glared at her.

"Then there are gifts to be received at the funeral!" Su Yi said.

Sun stretched out his hand to hit her. He was calculating for money and was even calculating for a dead person!

Su Yi quickly pulled her hand, "Auntie..."

"You are stupid! Let her pay for the funeral, and of course we will collect the gift money!" Sun smiled proudly.

Su Yi: “…” Oh, so you had already planned to take the dead man’s money.

Su Yi wanted to hand over the account books and warehouse keys to Song Mingli.

Song Mingli said, "Don't worry, cousin, I'll wait for a few people to come over and check the accounts together.

"Before the handover, I need to check the accounts and warehouse. Do you mind, cousin?"

In her heart, Su Yi had already rolled her eyes to the sky.

"My cousin is not unaware of the situation in the Marquis' Mansion!"

"I understand, but in order to avoid confusion later, I'd better have someone check it before handing it over."

Song Mingli said calmly, "This is also good for my cousin, isn't it?"

Su Yi sighed and had to wait.

But she didn't expect that Song Mingli called over a lot of people, and these people's temperament did not seem like ordinary managers.

They look serious and arrogant... they have quite an official air!

They checked the accounts very quickly and carefully.

Very strict, no intention of trying to smooth things over!

Su Yi glared at Song Mingli fiercely. He was waiting here to trick her!

Oh! That really underestimated her!

She kept her accounts meticulously, without taking any advantage of the situation…

The main thing is, there is really no money for her to make in the Marquis' Mansion!

The Marquis's salary was not enough to cover the expenses of the mansion! If she hadn't begged Sun for money, she would have been unable to support herself.

It took most of the day to complete the account checking.

Those managers with serious and arrogant faces didn't even drink a sip of tea. They just wrote the list and left.

"Is this the manager of my cousin's family?" Su Yi asked.

Song Mingli shook his head, "No, I invited him from outside."

“They actually invited someone from outside…”

"They are quick to settle accounts, and they are a third party, neither my people nor the Marquis's people. They are more fair, aren't they?"

Su Yi was speechless and secretly complained… You’re the one who paid for it!

Women might as well spend this money on a set of beautiful jewelry!

Her cousin's wife is just not smart!

Su Yi always has a strange sense of superiority in front of Song Mingli, who is dressed maturely and dignified.

After the handover of the accounts and warehouse is completed, personnel transfers will begin in various departments and institutes.

Song Mingli no longer uses anyone who is close to Sun and Su Yi, and replaces them all with her people.

But from the beginning, they respected her and the servants in Jingyou's mansion...including the house-born son in their previous life who did not take advantage of their misfortune.

Song Mingli did not kill them all at once, but instead transferred them to important positions.

Song Mingli had arranged all the personnel changes in just one afternoon.

Sun was a little surprised. "With so many people, who can be used and who can't be used... doesn't she need to check in advance?

"Could it be that what the old lady said is right? She has long been eyeing the power of the housekeeper of the Marquis' Mansion. Is she trying to sideline us?"

Su Yi snorted, "Isn't there still my cousin? No matter how powerful she is, can she surpass my cousin? Aunt, don't scare yourself!

"The old lady is confused! If she hadn't told me, Song Mingli wouldn't have known about Yun Gu's situation!"

Sun nodded, thinking that what she said made sense.

Anyway, Song Mingli didn't dare to treat her harshly in terms of food, clothing and other expenses, nor did he dare to replace the people in her courtyard.

As for the rest, let her do whatever she wants!

As soon as the thought came to his mind, Song Mingli sent someone to convey the new rules of the Marquis' Mansion.

"From now on, each person will be given five sets of clothes and fifty taels of silver per season. Does this also include the monthly wages for the servants in each courtyard?"

Sun immediately jumped up in anger, "How can this be enough? She is sending away beggars!"

Su Yi pulled the servant aside and asked him carefully.

After being asked, she turned pale.

"Aunt, the master she mentioned only counts Grandmother, you, cousin, her and Jingyou... She didn't count me, Huai'er, and Jiajia at all!"

Su Yi retreated in panic and fell into a chair, "She is chasing us away! Wuuwuwu, the Marquis' Mansion can't accommodate us, I will take Huai'er and Jiajia away now!"

Sun immediately dismissed the servants in the room.

"Shut up! Why are you crying?

"You are my niece. Huai'er and Jiajia are the children of the Gu family! Why do you take them away?"

Sun glared at Su Yi fiercely and complained, "It must be because you are too close to the two children on weekdays, which made her suspicious!"

Su Yi wiped her tears and said, "She didn't even give us money to spend! We can't stay in this mansion anymore!"

"What's the hurry?" Sun snorted, "Let's not intervene in this matter, let Changhai fight with her!"
