Madam Tuesday and Madam Wednesday, before they hesitated to come up with any results, they heard the Duke's wife sighing again: "I am lazy and want to save trouble. I am not afraid of the second and third younger siblings' jokes. If the second and third younger siblings insist on it,
If you don’t want to, if you must check the accounts, that’s okay, then let the butler—”
"No!" Mrs. Tuesday interrupted her hastily. Seeing her looking at her in surprise, Mrs. Tuesday looked away with a guilty conscience and stammered: "Uh, sister-in-law, sister-in-law is right, after all these years
Checking the accounts is a troublesome thing, why should I bother myself?"
What he said was embarrassing, angry and embarrassing.
In fact, they did a good job in keeping the account books. They smoothed everything that needed to be smoothed and played all the tricks that needed to be done.
But what if?
Who doesn’t fear what might happen to someone who has done something bad?
If the Duke's wife really wants to find someone to check the accounts, she and the Duke can hire the best accountant in the entire capital based on their status.
Mrs. Tuesday didn’t think the accounts prepared by her two sisters-in-law could withstand inspection.
When she saw her three younger siblings and the old god were there, she didn't say anything. It was clear that both of them had benefited, but she was the only one left in embarrassment and humiliation. She suddenly felt suffocated in her heart, and a voice in her heart said: Forget it, that's it! Why?
Just speak alone?
Mrs. Tuesday also shut up.
The Duke's wife smiled slightly: "In that case, it's settled. Aunt Lian, please take someone to the two ladies to get the keys and account books."
"Yes, ma'am!"
Aunt Lian bowed and agreed, looking at Mrs. Tuesday and Mrs. Wednesday: "Second Madam, Third Madam, please."
Although Mrs. Tuesday was complaining about Mrs. Wednesday and angry with her, she still couldn't help but said: "Sister-in-law, should I tell the old lady about this?"
"That's not necessary. The old lady is old. She can take care of herself as long as she can. Don't bother her with these trivial matters! Otherwise, wouldn't it be unfilial?"
Mrs. Tuesday: "."
She acted like an elder in front of Zhao Liya and Zhou Hansheng, and all she could say was "unfilial" and "rules". She didn't expect that one day someone would say these words back to her, which made her really depressed.
Seeing that they could no longer change it, they had no choice but to ask Aunt Lian to take someone to get the keys and account books.
After leaving the house, they saw the ladies in charge standing all over the yard. Their hearts skipped a beat, and they didn't dare to say anything, so they hurried away.
As soon as they left, the Duke's wife relaxed, put her hand on her forehead and fell back softly.
Liyun was so panicked that Li and the two maids hurriedly supported him.
Zhao Liya called out "Mom!" in a low voice and hurried forward.
Liyun and Lihe were obviously used to it. Although they were panicked, they were not confused. One by one, the two of them helped the Duke's wife to lie down, and they helped her calm down, and the other quickly poured out the warm and just right medicine.
The health-preserving medicinal tea came and I fed it to the Duke’s wife one mouthful at a time.
The Duke's wife took Lihe's hand and drank half a cup of medicinal tea. Zhao Liya quickly took warm water and rinsed her mouth.
The Duke's wife raised her eyes and looked at her, smiled, and did not refuse.
After a long while, the Duke's wife came to take a breath. She was still lying on her back and said to Zhao Liya with a smile: "Ya'er, I will leave the rest to you. The things that should be rectified in this mansion should be rectified.
If you change the rules, you can change them without any scruples. No matter what you do, I will support you. If the second or third bedroom gives you trouble, just ask someone to talk to me. Just forget about the previous accounts and there is no need to check them.
"
The second and third houses have been in charge of the house for more than ten years. The time is too long. It is cumbersome and troublesome to settle old accounts, and there are not many benefits. It is unnecessary.
"Yes, mother, I understand!"
Zhao Liya nodded.
Is there any boss who doesn’t make money? It’s just a small difference.
When the mother-in-law said this, it meant that the gains from the second and third houses were not much and would not damage the foundation of the Duke's government.
But what she will do next, the second and third bedrooms will not be very happy.
Aunt Bai came back after taking the things, and gave lectures on behalf of the Duke and Madam. She accompanied Zhao Liya to meet the ladies in charge.
"From now on, the Duke's wife will be in charge of the house, and the Crown Prince's wife will handle some trivial matters for the Duke. When you talk to each other on a daily basis, the Crown Prince's wife will answer in front of her. The Crown Prince's wife will naturally report back to the Duke's wife. You can take the lead for the time being.
For the current errands, do your part well, and if there are any adjustments later, reassign them according to the adjustments."
"Madam said, if anyone dares to act shady and secretly, don't blame her for being merciless! The Duke's office has always been generous to others, and neither the Duke nor the Madam have treated you badly over the years. You should take care of yourself and don't come here.
It’s a mess, it’s going to end badly!”
All the ladies in charge were shocked, and they all bowed their heads.
They had already secretly speculated whether things would change in this mansion after the Crown Prince's wife came in.
After all, if the Duke’s wife is not in good health, the Crown Prince’s wife will definitely not be in good health either!
The Crown Prince's wife is the second-generation mistress of the Duke's mansion, and it is natural for her to take charge of the house.
The Duke and his wife would definitely prefer to leave the housekeeping matters to her.
As a new wife, how many tricks can she have?
After entering the door, how long will it take for it to take over?
Some guessed two or three years, some thought half a year, and some guessed one year. But no one thought it would be now.
However, it seems that this cannot be said.
Because Aunt Lian kept saying that she was the Duke's wife's housekeeper, and the Crown Prince's wife was just helping the Duke's wife.
Even the Crown Prince herself said so
Naturally, the ladies in charge did not dare to fight with the powerful Duke and Madam. After responding politely, they listened to the Crown Prince's wife's instructions and left in an orderly manner.
The Duke's wife did not come forward. She was exhausted for a while. Today, she was angered by the two sisters-in-law again. Now her heart still hurts a little!
When Zhao Liya came into the room to reply, before she could say anything, the Duke's wife smiled and said: "I heard it all, you go ahead. In the past few days, first get familiar with the accounts and daily affairs of the mansion, and make all the managers familiar with it. You can do the rest by yourself.
It seems like I'm out of energy and I need to take a good rest."
Zhao Liya couldn't help but sympathize. Her mother-in-law's body was like a candle in the wind, making people fearful all the time.
"My daughter-in-law will go now. Mother, please rest assured. My daughter-in-law will pay attention. But, can you ask Aunt Lian to help your daughter-in-law tomorrow?"
The Duke's wife and Aunt Lian looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.
The Duke's wife pursed her lips, and Nanny Lian said with a smile: "Madam, the Crown Prince, Madam just said, tell me to go to the Crown Prince's wife on time tomorrow, to support the Crown Prince's wife. If there is anyone hiding an adulterer, let me know."
