"I have given my body and deeds to Qing Ling. It seems that you have to stay for a while and arrange my dowry as soon as possible."
Lu Fenghe explained many trivial matters to her. Cuizhi came in and said that there were some daily items in the west wing that needed to be packed away.
Lu Fenghe moved a place for Cuizhi and Liu Yeer to clean up.
Qing Ling happened to come in, and Lu Fenghe gave her the box containing the living deed.
"Today is seventeen, let's get to twenty. Arrange everyone properly. Whether they are leaving or staying, we have given them the monthly rules for this month."
Qing Ling agreed, usually they only send out monthly reports for the current month at the age of twenty-five.
"As for those who are redeeming themselves and want to leave, if they don't have any work for the time being, they can come with us now. The wages will be paid every ten days, so that we can leave Beijing or find new work."
After hearing this, Qing Ling couldn't help but praise, "Young girl is kind."
Lu Fenghe smiled and said nothing. Kindness is the most useless thing, but many of the servants who signed the living contract came to work because of financial difficulties at home. It was also because of her that they not only needed to find new servants, but also had to redeem themselves.
Silver, it’s really hard to bear to think about it.
Qing Ling walked to the door holding two boxes, but was almost knocked over by Bi He who rushed towards her.
Qing Ling couldn't help but say to her, "Why are you so flustered?"
Bihe saw no one else in the house.
"The princess started making trouble again, seeking death and living. She said that we went to get the things just to bring bad luck to her. She said that she would not be able to live alone in the palace after her cousin left. Bai Ling even threw herself on the rafter..."
Unlike Bi He's angry face, even the youngest Liu Ye'er regained her composure after being shocked.
"You guys... why didn't you respond?" Bi He asked Qing Ling who was nearest to him.
Qing Ling was puzzled, "What's the reaction? I left the house in the afternoon. No matter what happens in the house, it has nothing to do with us. I'm just worried that if I haven't written a letter with Li yet, I haven't written a letter asking us girls to observe filial piety."
After saying that, he complained softly, "It's bad luck."
Bihe was amused, "Don't worry, how could someone who really wanted to hang himself make such a big fuss, and the second lady is still here."
"Second Lady is at Shanfu Hall?" Lu Fenghe frowned, why was it her again?
Bihe nodded, "Yes, we found all the things, and the second lady went there. The servant stayed at the end to wait to move everything back. The second lady stayed in the east room, and Shaoyao said she was trying to persuade the princess.
"
"Stayed until now?"
Bi He nodded, "It seems that I went to the water house to see the princess' medicine, and when I got back, the princess threw Bai Ling onto the rafter."
The knot in Lu Fenghe's heart grew bigger and bigger. Could it be that she was really the second lady?
It was obvious that she had always shown little interest in the housekeeper. During both of her pregnancies, she barely took over the kitchen shopping and other daily chores until she was in the third trimester of her pregnancy. Everything went as usual, which was a little uncomfortable.
I usually come to her to ask for advice.
If she is the second wife, is it for the right to manage the house? It is unlikely. She should have known on the day she asked for marriage that as long as Shen Nanxun is alive, she will not be able to get the right to manage the house, no matter who Shen Nanxun marries.
If it wasn't for the stewardship, then why? Lu Fenghe asked himself that he had no enmity with her these days and had no enmity in the past.
In her previous life, the second wife really didn't take care of the house much, until she separated and returned to the northwest. After that, she only sent gifts during the holidays and sent people around her to say hello.
Now when it comes to what the second lady did and what she wanted, Lu Fenghe has no clue.
"Has there been any movement from Aunt Gao's side lately?" Lu Fenghe asked again, trying to get some clues from Aunt Gao's side.
Bi He shook his head, "People who were staring at her said that she could get out of bed a long time ago. In the past, she only chatted with the aunt and daughter-in-law in the alley, and she didn't have any contact with anyone in particular."
"Keep staring and can't relax."
"yes."
Seeing that she had nothing to do with her, Qing Ling prepared to leave, but turned back just as she crossed the threshold.
"Second Lady is here and has entered the courtyard gate."
Several eldest girls were in the house, and the servants who were accompanying the bride also went back to the house to pack their things or go to the front yard to wait to leave. Most of the children born in the mansion went to find their way out to relatives and friends who were also on duty in the mansion.
, Huoqi was even more flustered.
When the second lady came in, no one greeted her.
"Sister-in-law." The second lady stood at the door of the west wing and called.
Lu Fenghe waved his hand to let several people go about their business, and then responded, "Come in."
Qing Ling, who was closest to the door, opened the curtain and said, "Please make peace, madam."
The second lady came in hurriedly, "What's going on, sister-in-law? She said she was leaving when she said she would go home. What can't be solved? You have to leave. Now that you're gone, what will you do?"
After Qingling and Lufu bowed, they went out to do their business. Cuizhi and Liu Yeer packed up Lu Fenghe's daily utensils in an orderly manner, and Bihe poured a bowl of tea for the second lady.
The second wife sat beside Arhat's bed and said, "My dear sister-in-law, what's going on? I felt dizzy when I got up early and went to the toilet for a while. Why is this house like this when I wake up?"
Whether he was dizzy or not lying down or not, Lu Fenghe didn't care, it wasn't important.
But Er Niangzi has never been a person who closes her eyes and listens. Even if she is lying down, what about the people around her? Shaoyao is not stupid.
She went to Shanfutang before the third sister-in-law and Lingniang came back. Until now, she has been there every three and a quarter hours.
The second lady can even go a little slower and wait until she leaves before coming back.
Lu Fenghe patted her hand and said, "Don't worry, the account books will be handed over to you once the cards are sorted out."
Lu Fenghe was talking about you, and everyone in the county palace was talking about you, but what the second lady understood was to give them the second room.
When the second lady heard this, the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose, but she suppressed them a lot.
"Sister-in-law, don't say anything depressing. It's hard to find someone like my elder brother even with a lantern. Now that my elder brother knows all about my sister-in-law's grievances, how can I reconcile with you?"
The second lady was trying to persuade her, but Lu Fenghe didn't respond. Her family was already fighting for her, so at least she couldn't hold back.
"Sister-in-law, I really don't want you to leave my house. I don't even have anyone to talk to in this house after you leave."
Lu Fenghe finally interrupted her, "Li Niang, please stop trying to persuade me. If you have a chance, go to Piling to find me in the future."
The second lady was choked. She was determined to leave, so she was asked to go to Piling.
For a moment, the second lady may not be sure whether she is happy or sad. In the words of her mother, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not born to deal with, and sisters-in-law are also born to fight for. She is ready to fight with Lu Fenghe for the rest of her life. What will happen to Lu Fenghe?
He didn't even bother to give up, so he just got away.
"sister in law……"
"Liniang, go back. I'm such a mess. I won't keep you here anymore. The sun is shining brightly, so I'll have to force myself."
The second wife felt that she had really hit the cotton with her fist. She said that she only got one piece of news in such a long time, that is, she must leave. As for the rest, she didn't find out anything about it.

I was worried that there would be too many people on weekends, so I took my children out to play today.
