Chapter two hundred and seventeen, a suitable housekeeper
Aunt Qin didn't call in, she actually came here with Aunt Liu.
Where is Aunt Liu?
Aunt Liu came back lame and wiping tears to complain to Mrs. Yu. She was scratched by a fragment of a cup that fell on the ground.
When we got to the living room, the mother-in-law said, "This is Aunt Liu in our house."
Aunt Qin immediately smashed a cup, and by chance, a piece of debris scratched the corner of Aunt Liu's skirt, cutting her directly, and blood immediately spread out.
Looking at Aunt Qin's raised eyebrows and staring eyes, Aunt Liu was immediately frightened and ran out crying aggrievedly.
Seeing Mrs. Yu, Aunt Qin's face darkened, and she took two steps forward: "Mrs. Yu, today I am delivering sacrifices to the family on behalf of Princess An and the eldest princess. Why is it an aunt who came out to receive me? Could it be our master?
As the royal eldest princess, is she just an aunt in the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion?"
These words suppressed the angry Mrs. Yu.
"Madam, please tell the truth. If you look down on our eldest princess, there is no need to humiliate our eldest princess like this." Aunt Qin said aggressively.
Mrs. Yu fell back angrily, feeling pain in her heart. If she had known that the people sent by An and the eldest princess were so difficult to deal with, she would have stepped forward on her own.
"Aunt Qin, that's not what you meant. Our wife is sick and in poor health. She is still recuperating and it is not convenient to see outsiders." A smart woman came out from behind Mrs. Yu and came forward with a smile on her face to explain.
Mrs. Yu who was sitting on it was really sick. After Ning returned home, Mrs. Yu was so angry that she lay down and couldn't get up. This time she was not pretending to be sick.
"Mrs. Yu Tai is ill. Is there no decent lady in this house? Where did a concubine come from and she was so arrogant in front of our eldest princess?" Aunt Qin was still angry.
"Come, please invite the third lady." Mrs. Yu gritted her teeth and endured the bad breath, and said with a gloomy face.
Mrs. Sanfang’s surname is also Liu. She is usually timid and dare not get involved in anything. In fact, it is not just Mrs. Liu who is timid. Everyone in Sanfang is also timid. Starting from Yu Jiyang’s first one, she is not a courageous master.
In the past, I didn't dare to hum even more in front of Mrs. Yu.
After hearing Mrs. Yu's order to come over, Mr. Liu came over in a hurry.
"When Princess An and the eldest daughter came, I was supposed to be the one to receive them, but I was not feeling well, so I sent Aunt Liu to come over. Unexpectedly, it was a mistake. Now the Liu family is in charge of all affairs in the house."
Mrs. Liu came over and Mrs. Yu explained through gritted teeth.
"I heard that the person in charge of the house is the second wife, Mrs. Ning. Why not Mrs. Ning?" Aunt Qin said with a bad look. It didn't look like a gift, but rather like looking for trouble.
Mrs. Yu suppressed her anger, looked at Aunt Qin carefully, and said, "Ms. Ning is also unwell..."
Aunt Qin interrupted Mrs. Yu rudely: "Mrs. Tai is unwell, and the old slave saw it. I don't know if Mrs. Ning is unwell. Is it true, or is it because Mrs. Ning is unwilling to accept the residence of our eldest princess?
The ceremony that came here?"
This is really just looking for trouble.
Then there is no need to wait any longer.
"Ms. Ning is still lying down now and can't get up, so I don't dare to neglect her." Mrs. Yu said softly and exhaled a strong breath.
Mrs. Yu didn't believe Mrs. An and the eldest princess didn't know why Mrs. Ning lay down.
This was already a sign of weakness, but Aunt Qin refused to stop: "Now Mrs. Sanfang is in charge of the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion, what about the pair of cards?" Mrs. Yu was trembling with anger, could she still bring out her own pair of cards?
Let the people of An and the eldest princess look down upon it?
The current situation, however, has to give in. The people in An and the eldest princess's house are obviously here to cause trouble. The current Zhengyuan Hou Mansion can no longer withstand anything.
Gritting her teeth and swallowing the pain in her heart, Mrs. Yu motioned to a woman beside her: "Go and see if the pair of cards is at the steward's office, and bring them to the third lady together."
"Yes!" The mother-in-law went down as ordered, and soon came over with a pair of cards and presented them to Mrs. Liu respectfully.
Mrs. Liu looked at the pair of cards in her hand, and then at Mrs. Yu above, her hands were shaking: "Mrs. Mrs., this..."
"This was originally meant for you. Mrs. Ning is injured, I am sick again, and the mansion is in chaos. Someone must be in charge. You are very good, and the affairs of the mansion will be entrusted to you from now on."
Mrs. Yu talked calmly to her third daughter-in-law for the first time.
This gentle look frightened the third lady to tremble more and more. She looked at Mrs. Yu imploringly, but could not say a word.
When Aunt Qin wasn't paying attention, Mrs. Yu glared at Mrs. Liu fiercely.
Ms. Liu was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head.
"Since the third lady is the person in charge of the house, then the third lady will receive me. I just hope that when we come next time, we will still see the third lady in charge." Aunt Qin warned Mrs. Yu before proceeding.
Going, Mrs. Liu glanced at Mrs. Yu timidly, saw Mrs. Yu glared at her, and hurriedly chased her out.
Seeing Aunt Qin leave, Mrs. Yu couldn't help it anymore, grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it to the ground.
There was a crisp breaking sound, and the blue and white porcelain bottle broke into several pieces: "It's too much to bully others!"
Mrs. Yu Tai said with a gloomy face and a hateful voice.
"Madam, don't be angry." The clever old woman stood up again and waved to everyone else in the room, signaling them to get out.
Mrs. Yu's confidant spoke up, but the other maids and the mother-in-law didn't dare to say anything, so they retreated one by one.
Aunt Liu still wanted to speak, but after looking at Mrs. Yu's angry and almost ferocious face, she limped back knowingly.
"Madam, don't be angry." After the other servants had retreated, the mother-in-law advised.
"That's too much!" Mrs. Yu stood up from the table. She got up so fast that her eyesight went dark and she almost fell down. The mother-in-law quickly caught her with her quick hands.
"Madam, please calm down first."
Mrs. Yu closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, the corners of her eyes were still red. She stretched out her hand and pointed in the direction of Princess An and the eldest princess's mansion: "What the hell, do you really think of yourself as the eldest princess? You don't even look at it.
How many more favors do you have? Should the Emperor ignore her?"
At this point, I started coughing violently.
The mother-in-law helped Mrs. Yu sit down, tapped her back a few times, and stroked her again, and then she made Mrs. Yu stop.
"She clearly doesn't want Mr. Ning to take charge of the family affairs." Mrs. Yu closed her eyes, her chest heaved rapidly, and her teeth almost bit into her flesh.
"Who is she? She can't take care of her own son, but she has to take care of our family's affairs. A cheap girl is worthy of her respect."
The cause of the incident was Yu Xijiao. This girl was indeed not a good girl. Many things happened to her. Mrs. Yu was panting.
"Don't worry, Mrs. Ning. Mrs. Ning is injured now. She should have a good rest. Only when she is well can she be better able to take care of the housework. Let the third lady take care of this matter for the time being. When Mrs. Ning recovers, she will take over the management power.
Coming back is just a matter of words!" the mother-in-law advised.
"Why should she, a sister-in-law who is separated by several rooms, care about our family's affairs?" Mrs. Yu touched her chest and coughed violently.
The mother-in-law hurriedly rubbed her back and regained her composure after some fuss.
"Go and call the people around Ning. Didn't she want to discuss the marriage for the eldest daughter of the Xuanping Hou Mansion? I have to let me know about such a good thing first. After all, I can be regarded as her grandmother.
"Mrs. Yu's resentment is hard to get rid of. She has always put herself in the same position as An and the eldest princess.
How could I endure being forced by a servant from Princess An and the eldest daughter's house?
She can't take it out on An and Princess Dachang for the time being, nor can she take it out on her granddaughter. Ning is right, wait until one is dealt with before dealing with the other.
Mrs. Yu originally didn't care about this matter, but now she wants to help Ning...
Aunt Qin did not stay in Zhengyuan Hou Mansion for long. After successfully handing over the sacrifices in her hands, she left with the others. Mrs. Liu took her daughter Yu Lanyun to send Aunt Qin to the door.
Watching Aunt Qin leave, Ms. Liu held her daughter's hand uneasily: "Yun'er?"
"Mother, what did I tell you before? As long as you want to live well, you have to stand up. If you can't... we are in the same room... I'm afraid no one can survive." Yu Lanyun looked at the open door.
He stood in the empty space in front of him and lowered his voice, saying, "Have you forgotten how your brother disappeared?"
Mrs. Liu's hands were trembling, her body was trembling, and she was holding Yu Lanyun's hand with strength. How could she forget that her son, her only youngest son, passed away. It looked like an accident, but it was not an accident. Her daughter
What she found made her shocked, angry, and even thought of committing suicide together.
But she didn't dare. She still had a daughter and a husband...
The third room never fought for anything and didn't dare to ask for anything. They just followed Mrs. Yu obediently, but didn't they even have a little way to survive?
"Mom, I heard that the second aunt is already choosing a person. If she chooses someone who is obese and over fifty years old, if her daughter really gets married, her life will be ruined." Yu Lanyun withdrew his eyes and looked at Mrs. Liu sadly, his eyes
Slightly red.
These words shocked Ms. Liu again, and Ms. Liu stamped her feet fiercely: "I won't let them do this to you... Yun'er, I listen to you, even if I die, I won't let them do this to you.
"
"Mother!" Yu Lanyun threw herself into Mrs. Liu's arms with tears in her eyes and murmured softly.
Mother and daughter hugged each other.
After a while, Yu Lanyun pushed Mrs. Liu away: "Mother, go back and prepare to handle the affairs. At least for the recent period, you are the steward wife of the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion. After what happened today, my grandmother will not go back on her word immediately. You are in charge.
You have to seize the power to do things. If some people need to be replaced, they can be replaced. If they need to be removed, they can be removed. Even if they cause trouble in front of grandma, it won't be a big deal."
Yu Lanyun calmed down and smiled miserably: "Now except you, there is no one else suitable for the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion."
Even if Mrs. Yu is not satisfied with the only candidate, she can only use it first.
"I understand!" Mrs. Liu took a deep breath, and a stern look flashed in her eyes. She was useless, but she had to protect her daughter. Her son was gone. Her daughter was her only thought. If anyone wanted to hurt her,
Daughter, she dares to fight hard.
"Mom, please go back first. I'll go and have a look at the door." Seeing that her mother had calmed down, Yu Lanyun said and looked towards the door. Coincidentally, a carriage stopped at the open door...
