The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 367 If You're Unlucky, I'll Step on You

Anyone who paid attention immediately got the news that Mrs. An had lost her temper in the main house today.

In other words, except for Xu's Shi'an Courtyard, every other courtyard knew about this matter at the first opportunity.

Go up to the house.

Mother Rong told the old lady everything she learned today.

The old lady, who was originally worshipping Buddha, paused with the Buddhist beads in her hand and asked: "Where is An now?"

Looking at the old lady, Rong Madam said respectfully, "Madam harnessed her horse early in the morning and went outside the palace, saying that she was going to pick up the Duke in person."

When Mother Rong first learned what her wife had done, she was shocked.

Now reporting back to the old lady, Mother Rong went over the matter carefully in her mind again, and her surprise became even greater!

This lady had been in the Duke's Mansion for quite some time, but she had done quite a few terrible things. This time, even the people in the Jingzhao Yin Mansion were alarmed!

If the Duke does not come forward, it will be difficult to resolve this matter.

When she thought of this, the old lady wanted to slap An a few times.

"This Jingzhao Yin is not someone who is easy to talk to. Over the years, our mansion has had no dealings with Jingzhao Yin's Lu family, and we haven't even sent them any New Year gifts.

Now, how can I open my mouth to beg for mercy?"

Mother Rong sighed secretly in her heart. This time the trouble was really big: "Madam, I'm afraid this matter will delay the Duke's career."

You know, Song Hongwen hasn't even started his official career yet.

If any problems arise in the mansion at this time, who can guarantee that Song Hongwen's official position will not be affected?

The old lady didn't say anything else, but the Buddhist beads in her hand were spinning rapidly.

Mother Rong knew that the old lady had heard what she said, so she stopped talking.

Yes, today Rong’s mother did deliberately bring up An’s matter.

But who could blame An, who had just taken over the power of housekeeper, for demoting Rong Mama's sister-in-law from the position of kitchen purchasing manager to the position of disciplining the new maid in the mansion.

Because of this, Rong's mother's sister-in-law didn't know how many times she had come to Rong's mother to cry and complain. The longer time passed, the more times she cried.

Kitchen purchasing is a very lucrative job. Over the years, Rong's mother's sister-in-law has also secretly taken some lucrative advantage from the Duke's Mansion.

The head of the backyard household knew this very well. When Xu was in charge of the general affairs of the Duke's Mansion, as long as Rong Mama and her sister-in-law worked diligently and purchased the right amount of grain.

He had turned a blind eye to the incident of taking advantage of the woman, which was considered as a favor to Rong's mother.

But An could not tolerate this. As soon as she returned to Beijing, she used Rong Mama's brother's wife as an example to scare the monkeys and threw her into the position of disciplining female servants.

Disciplining a maid is a dirty and tiring job. Not only does it not bring any income to the family, but it also carries a lot of responsibilities and infamy.

Whenever any of the little girls in this mansion had any problems, it was always related to the nanny in charge.

But there are so many mansions in the capital, which one doesn't have maids who mess things up?

Over the years, whenever Rong Mama's sister-in-law felt wronged, she would cry to Rong Mama, hoping that Rong Mama could say a few good words to the old lady and get her moved to another place.

But no matter how popular Mother Rong was in front of the old lady, she was still just a servant after all. How could she have the ability to direct the arrangements of the master's family?

It is precisely because of this incident that Rong's mother has always been dissatisfied with An.

Unfortunately, Mrs. An was the mistress of the house and the Duke's legal wife. Even if Mother Rong was dissatisfied, she could only hide all her emotions in her heart.

Given such a great opportunity today, Mother Rong would definitely take advantage of it and help the "kind-hearted people" who are doing things in front.

In Aunt Yin's courtyard.

Yang He's teacher has finished teaching. During this period, Yang He's main task every day is to learn housework in the house.

One day, when Aunt Yin and Yang He were embroidering in the house, Mother Luo quickly came in and told them everything about An.

After hearing what Mother Luo said, Aunt Yin and Yang He both showed joy on their faces.

Yang He put down the basket and said to Aunt Yin, "Congratulations, Aunt, the main house has been so prosperous these days, but it finally met with bad luck.

These days, Dad has repeatedly reminded us to be careful and keep a low profile in the mansion. Now what happened in the main house has become known to the whole capital.

The Jingzhao Yin is a cold-faced judge, I hope he can enforce the law impartially this time."

Aunt Yin has experienced more things, so her judgment and grasp of things must be much more stable than Yang He's: "Mother Luo, can you find out who leaked these things?"

Mother Luo shook her head: "The incident at the village head and the theft at the Treasure Pavilion happened last night, and the incident at Changshou Hall happened this morning.

At present, there is no evidence that someone is behind this.”

Yang He looked at Aunt Yin's thoughtful expression and felt a little strange: "Aunt, is there something wrong?"

Aunt Yin put down the basket and touched Yang He's head: "I haven't guessed anything else, but since this treasure pavilion holds the store's most valuable treasures, there must be people guarding it day and night.

Yesterday, Madam secretly met with a few people. Although I don’t know what it was about, I think it might be the daily security work of the Treasure Pavilion.

Anyone who could quietly snatch the East China Sea Pearl from the guards of the Treasure Pavilion must be a martial arts expert.

But who can such a skilled martial artist obey? And who can order him around? "

Yang He tilted her head and thought for a while: "Aunt, why can't it be that the big thief took a fancy to the rare treasures in the Treasure Pavilion, so he took advantage of the dark night to sneak into the Treasure Pavilion and stole the East China Sea Pearl."

Aunt Yin thought for a moment and said, "Miss Fifth is smart, so this possibility cannot be ruled out.

However, if such a big thief, his first choice should be the famous jewelry pavilion in the capital. This lady's treasure pavilion is not famous, and there are no other treasures except the East China Sea pearls. How could it attract a big thief with high martial arts skills?"

Aunt Yin's questions stumped everyone in the room.

For a moment, none of the three could give a suitable explanation.
