Reborn to be a mistress, she went crazy killing the legitimate daughter

Shen Yiran did not speak immediately but turned to look at Bo Jinnian.

Shen Yiran has not heard from Bo Jinnian about Ji Sicheng's future arrangements.

If he wants to inherit the Marquis' Mansion, Ji Sicheng will have to fight in the future, so he should learn the basic skills.

Bo Jinnian did not force him: "Si Cheng, just do what you like. If you like reading, then read."

Ji Sicheng was very grateful and stood up and bowed at the dinner table, making everyone at the table laugh.

The old lady laughed and said, "You guys are having fun here, I want to join in the fun."

Everyone immediately stood up and gave up their seats to the old lady, placing her in the upper seat.

"Come on, sit down. How can you eat while standing?"

The old lady was very easygoing. She waved for everyone to sit down and looked at the food on the table: "These are all what Chengcheng and Yueyue like, right?"

Ji Siyue immediately started talking and started talking to the old lady about his own affairs.

The room was filled with laughter and joy, which could be heard at the ventilation building. Rong Qingqing was so angry that she slammed the table.

"Our Tuantuan is the legitimate child of the Marquis' Mansion. How can those two bastards be worthy of living in the Marquis' Mansion?"

Tuantuan also started crying out of grievance.

Rong Qingqing immediately comforted Tuantuan and instructed the maid, "Go tell the old lady that Tuantuan has been feeling unwell since returning and needs to stay in the mansion for a few days."

The maid Xunxiang had no choice but to go over, but was stopped by Qiuju at the gate of the courtyard.

"what's up?"

Xunxiang could only say, "The Second Madam asked me to report to the old lady that Tuantuan is not feeling well after returning home and needs to stay for a few more days."

Qiu Ju naturally knew what was going on, and without replying, she sent Xun Xiang away and said, "Go back and tell her that you know. The Second Madam will make whatever arrangements you want. The child's health is the most important thing."

"She also said that the old lady would go to visit Tuantuan after dinner."

Xunxiang went back immediately to report after hearing this.

Rong Qingqing sneered when she heard this: "Of course he will come here after having dinner there. My Tuantuan doesn't care about that!"

As expected, the old lady came to visit Tuantuan. Seeing that Tuantuan had no energy at all and his face was full of grievance and pampering, she felt a little displeased.

"What's wrong with your body? Have you called a doctor?"

The old lady took Qiuju's hand and sat down.

Rong Qingqing immediately smiled and replied: "The doctor has already examined it and prescribed a prescription. The kitchen is decocting the medicine."

The old lady nodded and looked inside the Fenglou Tower.

The decoration inside the wind supply building is very southern in style, with various curtains hanging to create a soft and charming style.

But there are too many maids in the entire building.

There are four maids taking care of Tuantuan at the moment.

The old lady didn't ask about family matters, so she didn't know.

After sitting for a while, I went out and asked Qiuju.

Qiu Ju pursed her lips and smiled: "They are all maids from Yangzhou. The second lady sent a letter home, reporting the news that the second young master was an official again, and the previous maids all followed."

When the old lady heard this, she didn't believe it. What did she mean by "following over"? It was obvious that they were sending people to Yangzhou to select again.

"Do you know how many maids there are in total?"

Qiu Ju thought for a moment before saying, "Except for those who were sent away, there are still twelve maids, two first-class maids, four second-class maids, and the rest are maids who clean the house."

"One room has twelve maids, but our mansion does not have this rule. Go back and call Ranran. I want to ask her."

Shen Yiran came to Jingxin Hall. The old lady asked Shen Yiran to sit down and asked casually, "Your second sister-in-law has so many maids in her room, and you don't care about them?"

When Shen Yiran heard about this, he couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled, "I did manage it, but my second sister-in-law said that my second brother needed so many maids."

"The people who grind ink, dry books, do hair, do makeup and clothing, and are responsible for massage were all introduced to me by my second sister-in-law. They all have their own duties. I really can't say which one should be laid off."

The old lady's face darkened when she heard this: "I know that the Rong family is wealthy and powerful in Yangzhou, and naturally they live a different life, but now in the capital, everyone's words and deeds are being watched by the Censorate. Bo Jinjue has just entered the officialdom, so isn't this giving others a handle?"

Shen Yiran did think of this, but there was no need for her to remind Rong Qingqing. After all, Rong Qingqing said that she had married into a wealthy family and had never had a good life.

"The old lady is really thoughtful. I only know the rules of the house, but I didn't think there would be any regulations on the number of maids."

The old lady shook her head: "Although there is no regulation on the number of maids, but if it gets out, won't it give people the impression of extravagance? You go first, I will talk to the second lady in person."

Rong Qingqing had just found a way to keep Tuantuan and was in a good mood, but eight of her maids were suddenly laid off for no reason. Only four were left in the house. She immediately jumped up and wanted to seek justice.

After being called away and scolded by the old lady, he could only swallow his anger and return.

"My son, you can't even have an extra maid to take care of you. What kind of mansion is this? You might as well go back to Yangzhou!"

When Bo Jinjue rushed back to see Tuantuan, he was first called away by the old lady and given a few instructions.

After returning to the room and hearing Rong Qingqing complaining, she said coldly: "This is because you didn't think it through. This is Jingdu City, not Yangzhou. If you keep staring at your husband, how can I defend myself if I am reported?"

After hearing this, Rong Qingqing finally stopped talking.

Tuantuan felt very aggrieved and hugged Rong Qingqing: "Daddy, don't blame mommy, mommy is doing this for daddy's good."

Bo Jinjue was no longer angry after hearing this. He hugged Rong Qingqing and said softly, "Okay, it's rare for a family to be together. It's unlucky to shed tears."

Rong Qingqing wiped her tears immediately and said with a smile, "That's right, Tuantuan wants to eat the lion's head at Chunfeng Tower, shall we go out to eat?"

The second family left in a carriage.

The old lady looked at the behavior of the second house and thought that there must be more to it than that, so she asked Shen Yiran to bring the expenditure accounts of the house for the first time.

Xu heard this in the room and thought that the old lady had caught Shen Yiran doing something wrong, so she excitedly supported Qiuwen and rushed over.

The old lady knew exactly what Xu was here for, but she didn't say anything. She just unfolded the account book and started looking through it one by one.

I turned to the page with the monthly summary and stopped.

"It's natural that the expenses of the three rooms are different, but why is the difference so big?"

Shen Yiran didn't say anything, so Xu sneered and said, "Whoever is the housekeeper will naturally stick to themselves. It's possible that the old lady can't find out for a while."

The old lady handed the account book to Qiuju, and Qiuju took it to show Xu.

Xu didn't understand what it meant, so she took it and looked at it, and was immediately speechless.

The expenses of the second and first bedrooms are almost the same, but the expenses of the third bedroom are less than half.

"There must be something wrong with this account. You did this on purpose to show it to the old lady, right?"

Xu glared at Shen Yiran angrily. She didn't expect him to do anything here. She must have stuffed a lot of the expenses in!

But when Xu flipped through the details, he found that every item was true, without any extra information.
