The next day, Su Xubai had nothing to do, so he slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up. Naturally, the people in the house would not say anything to him, but when he packed up and walked out of the yard, he heard Sasou standing in the corner.
The maid whispered.
"Does this lady take herself too seriously? She actually slept until midnight!"
"It's just about being favored. Aren't they all like this? Relying on Master You's favor, they will become arrogant and unruly!"
"No matter how favored she is, she is just a concubine. When she loses her favor, life may not be easier than for us!"
Su Xubai stood there and listened for a long time, her brows gradually furrowed. She slowly walked behind a few people. One of them heard footsteps and saw that it was Su Xubai. She was so frightened that she quickly knelt down: "Master..."
"The girl in the house is so unruly now that she dares to discuss the master's rights and wrongs behind his back!" Su Xubai looked at the little girl kneeling in front of him, his face full of anger.
The little girls knelt there one after another, not daring to say a word, but just lowered their heads.
Su Xubai naturally understood that these girls were just people who took advantage of the situation, and there was always someone who looked like a dog behind the scenes to sow discord. He was so angry that he wanted to beat them all up, but in the end
Thinking of Cheng Chun's soft look, he could only turn around and leave in the end.
These are all children of the same family, many of whom were brought from the capital. If mold develops here, you will have to have an explanation when you go back. If you are punished, the resentment may be spread on Chengchun. When the time comes, he will be offended.
Yes, it is still Chengchun.
Su Xubai stayed in the study for almost more than an hour before Cheng Chun came. She held a bowl of soup in her hand and smelled a refreshing fragrance from a distance.
"Fifth Master, I made crucian carp and tofu soup, give it a try!" Cheng Chun placed the soup in front of Su Xubai.
Su Xubai's emotions that had been brewing for more than an hour because of those girls disappeared in an instant after seeing the expectant look on Cheng Chun's face. He picked up the spoon and took a taste.
The fish soup was clear, without any fishy smell, and had a strong bean aroma. After Su Xubai took a sip, he couldn't help but take another sip, and then nodded in Chengchun's expectant eyes: "It tastes good.
Su Xubai originally wanted to say a few words about Cheng Chun, but when he saw the smile on her face, he couldn't bear to say more about her, and finally the matter was settled.
Chengchun was very serious when learning calligraphy, so Su Xubai only had to read it from the book and explain it again, and she would think about it on her own, without Su Xubai having to work hard. The two of them just sat like this, which was fine.
Comfortable and peaceful.
It's just that this moment of peace is always difficult to maintain. After all, there are always a few unscrupulous people coming out to disturb things.
Grandma Zhang is this ungrateful person. She was lying down in her room eating melon seeds, but she didn't expect that a girl would come and tell her that Chengchunhui had read the account books and asked someone to go to the kitchen to ask.
Terrified.
I thought about it in the room for a long time, and finally decided to take the blame.
She is an old person in her family. She came to this village to take charge of things when she was old. She just came to enjoy the happiness. Although her hands and feet were not very clean and she had eaten a little bit of oil and water, she was still an old person after all. She took the initiative to apologize and wanted to come to Su.
Xu Bai would not care about this matter. What's more, her daughter might still be the aunt in the house in the future, and she could be regarded as half a master.
When Nanny Zhang came, Su Xubai was painting. When she heard that it was Nanny Zhang, she didn't want to meet her at first, but when she saw Cheng Chun beside her, she thought about it again and decided to meet her.
As soon as Nanny Zhang came in, she knelt on the ground: "Fifth Master, this old slave is obsessed with things..."
As soon as she shouted, Grandma Zhang saw Cheng Chun sitting beside her. She stopped shouting in the middle of shouting. She just knelt on the ground with her mouth open, unable to say a word for a long time.
Su Xubai looked at Nanny Zhang's appearance and thought it was ridiculous: "Why are you so obsessed? Why don't you keep talking!"
"Old slave, old slave..." Nanny Zhang looked at Cheng Chun, then at Su Xubai, and finally said with difficulty, "Fifth Master, I have something to say to you alone!"
"Alone? When did you become powerful enough to talk to me alone?" Su Xubai suddenly picked up the inkstone at hand and smashed it next to Grandma Zhang.
The inkstone hit the ground, and ink spattered on Grandma Zhang's face. She was startled, but she didn't dare to speak anymore.
Chengchun didn't know what to do at this time, so he had no choice but to continue sitting.
"You were originally working for my mother, and you were put here as a steward in the courtyard. Why do you think that was? Do you really think that it was stated openly that you were asked to come here to take care of your old age?" Su Xu
Bai Leng looked at Nanny Zhang with a bit of anger in her eyes.
"I don't dare!"
"Don't dare, I think you dare to do anything!" Su Xubai sneered, "You seem to be treating yourself as half a master here. You might as well think about why you were kicked out! According to me
With my grandmother's temperament, you would have been beaten to death for sending your daughter to my eldest brother's bed. It was my mother who thought you were too old and couldn't bear it, so she sent you to this other courtyard. You
It’s better to think of yourself as your master!”
Grandma Zhang's fig leaf was pulled open viciously by Su Xubai, and immediately her legs softened and she lay on the ground: "Fifth Master..."
"Tomorrow, you will deliver the housekeeper's key to my wife. As for you, wait until I ask my mother before I pursue you!" Su Xubai said coldly, "Get out!"
Aunt Zhang was unable to utter a complete sentence from beginning to end, so she was kicked out by Su Xubai. Chengchun was so frightened that she stood aside and did not dare to say a word.
When the people were gone, Su Xubai turned back to look at Cheng Chun: "Did you see it?"
Chengchun was startled: "What?"
"This is how people should be disciplined. You are the master, and you must have some momentum. You cannot allow them to show off their power!" Seeing Cheng Chun's appearance, Su Xubai felt quite frustrated that iron could not be transformed into steel.
Chengchun was silent for a long time, then nodded: "I understand!"
Regarding this matter, Cheng Chun said it many times, but every time he was still soft. Su Xubai was still a little disappointed, but looking at her wet eyes, he couldn't bear to hurt her: "The housekeeper's key will be here soon."
I leave it in your hands. If you don't know anything, just come to me, you know?"
"I understand, Fifth Master, don't be angry!" Cheng Chun stepped forward and gently pulled Su Xubai's sleeve. Su Xubai, who was still very annoyed at first, immediately became angry after holding back his breath.
