Qiao Yuyan is now in charge of the house's internal affairs. If something like this happens, she is naturally to blame.
"It turned out that there was an earthquake some time ago, and many flowers and trees in the yard were damaged and needed to be replanted. For the sake of convenience, the gardener dug a hole there to store and draw water. And at the foot of the hillside, I don't know how.
The second sister and Fourth Young Master Wen fell in together."
When Qiao Yuyan said this, she emphasized the word "together".
Mrs. Wen's face suddenly became ugly and she quickly said: "Then the two of them..."
Qiao Yuyan turned and glanced at Wen Ruting and Qiao Yurong.
Both of them thought about the situation at that time. At that time, they were frightened by the scene in front of them but did not notice it. Now thinking about it, the two little girls who had not yet had hair extensions immediately blushed.
The two elders are both experienced, so what would they not guess when seeing this situation?
Mrs. Wen's face became even more ugly, but it was just because it was difficult to have an attack in the Xu family.
After the matter was reported, the rest was the matter of the elders. Qiao Yuyan walked out with Wen Ruting and Qiao Yurong, and saw Aunt Pei and Yao rushing over.
Knowing that the woman in the pink bra was Qiao Yuning's aunt, Wen Ruting looked at her like an arrow wrapped in her eyes.
Aunt Pei noticed that the eyes here were stunned for a moment, turned around and saluted them softly, but Qiao Yuyan clearly saw a hint of amusement in her eyes.
Thinking of the time when she became Qiao Wei's concubine, she sneered in her heart. Do you really think that all families are as easy to talk to as the Qiao family?
After a while, Qiao Weisheng also came and entered the Furong Pavilion with a gloomy expression.
Although it is not easy for young girls like them to stay inside, who doesn't care about the outcome of the adults' deliberations?
Qiao Yuyan saw their thoughts and simply invited them to drink tea in the flower hall where he usually received the steward's replies.
Wen Ruting saw a look of surprise on her face when she saw the thick account books in the next room and the hanging cards of the stewards of each room.
"Sister Yan, you have to take care of so many things by yourself? Can you handle it?"
Qiao Yuyan turned around and took a look, and smiled faintly, "Wherever everything needs to be taken care of, there are also capable maids and women below, but they are just the boss, and they will be checked every once in a while."
"Then what should we do if the people below deceive the superiors and hide the truth from the subordinates?"
She was really interested and asked Qiao Yuyan about everything.
Qiao Yuyan didn't want to talk to her at all, but he really didn't have any affection for her.
But in this new life, Wen Ruting has not done anything to embarrass her. As the head of the family, she is too cold and shameful.
Furthermore, there are many people who worship the superior and despise the inferior, and bully the weak and fear the strong. If Wen Ruting is also regarded as the target of hatred because of what happened in her previous life, it is unnecessary.
Just a nod and a casual acquaintance.
Then I thought about the fact that managing the household affairs was not something that needed to be concealed, so I cut out the verbosity and talked to her briefly.
The two talked happily, but Qiao Yurong became more and more confused. Is this still the same Qiao Yuyan who doesn't understand anything?
She originally thought that Qiao Yuyan could take care of the affairs of the house during this period, mostly relying on the support of Mrs. Xu and Qiao Weisheng, and the people under her were capable, so she was just wandering around putting on airs.
But now I heard her tell me that there is so much knowledge here!
She also learned to read the account books from Yao, but those densely packed books really gave her a headache. It was just three days of fishing and two days of drying nets.
But housekeeper Qiao Yuyan doesn't just look at the account books. She has to know all the big and small things in the house in order to manage the people under her.
She didn't know any of this at all, and she even thought that the second sister who took care of everything probably didn't know either.
Thinking of this, Qiao Yurong's face became even weirder, she just pursed her lips and listened to the two people talking about the land rent of the farm again.
At this moment, Mrs. Xu and Qiao Weisheng had sent Mrs. Wen out.
The three of them stood up quickly, Wen Ruting returned to Mrs. Wen, and Qiao Yurong and Qiao Yuyan also stood behind their mothers.
"You're still pregnant, so don't give it away," Mrs. Wen said with a relaxed look, taking Ms. Xu's hand and saying very affectionately, "I had a great time chatting with the Xu family sister today. I missed it in the past. In the future, we will
It would be better for the two families to visit each other as often as before."
Seeing her warm look, with no look affected by today's events, Qiao Yuyan probably knew the outcome of the elders' discussion, but Qiao Yurong couldn't help but want to ask.
As soon as Mrs. Wen went out, Aunt Pei quickly grabbed her and knelt in front of Qiao Weisheng and Mrs. Xu.
"Master, Madam, can it be that we, Sister Ning, have suffered such a big loss and just let it go like this?"
Her sudden behavior startled Mrs. Xu, and Qiao Weisheng quickly protected her behind him. His expression relaxed after he saw clearly that it was her.
"You get up first," Qiao Weisheng's expression softened, and he softened his tone knowing that she was worried, "This incident happened in our home, and those who saw it were their sisters. The remaining few,
Sister Yan has already hammered it out, and I will go see them in person later to emphasize again that you don't have to worry about Sister Ning's reputation being damaged."
Aunt Pei said with tears in her eyes: "I am a man, how can I know the difficulties of women? Although our family will not say it, what will the Wen family think of our sister Ning? When I go out in the future, I will meet the third girl and the fourth son of the Wen family.
, how can Sister Ning cope with herself? She is a little girl with a thin skin, how can she endure it? "
"This..." Qiao Weisheng really didn't expect this and looked at his wife hesitantly.
When Pei Yayi said this, Mrs. Xu was also worried about her youngest daughter's mood. Ning'er had always been sentimental, so she would not be willing to go out in the future just because of this matter.
"Then what do you want to do?" Yao on the side couldn't help it, "Why don't you ask everyone to go together? Why did Sister Ning and Fourth Young Master get into trouble together?"
This question made the three people in the long room speechless.
Mrs. Yao sneered again, "You are crying in front of your eldest brother and sister-in-law now, but why were you silent in front of Mrs. Wen just now? Why didn't you ask them to give your daughter an explanation? You yourself know that, with the family background of the Wen family,
If you have the character of Fourth Young Master He Wen, I'm afraid that you, Sister Ning, won't be able to get the position of principal wife, so why are you crying here?"
Pei Yayi never expected that Yao would suddenly intervene and speak so openly.
She determined that with Qiao Weisheng's good nature and Xu's love for Qiao Yuning, she would definitely consider Qiao Yuning. Even if she couldn't really bring about a marriage with the Wen family, she could at least make it possible for Xu to send Qiao Yuning to her famous family.
Next, get the position of a legitimate daughter.
When Yao saw her looking over angrily, she became even more rude, "Otherwise, go and ask, maybe someone will see what happened. I, Sister Rong, can tell you that everyone came separately at that time.
The place where they fell is not hidden. I think there is a maid and a mother-in-law not far away, so why not just ask, so that you don't have the nerve to embarrass your brother and sister-in-law here."
