Chapter 123 Who is the master of the Hou residence?
As expected, Mrs. Chen received a good lecture from the old lady.
Even though there were Chen's natal family in the house at this time, the old lady pretended that they did not exist.
At first, Mrs. Chen was still holding on, and occasionally she would say a few words to Mrs. Chen in accordance with the old lady's words, but the old lady did not answer her words at all. Gradually, Mrs. Chen began to lose her composure.
The Chen brothers and sisters even lowered their heads and did not even dare to breathe.
My uncle is the biggest in the world. How can anyone in this world criticize my daughter-in-law so harshly in front of her family, unless...
Unless they don't want to recognize this marriage at all.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Chen's face gradually became ugly. Just when she couldn't hold back and wanted to speak, the old lady suddenly stopped and turned to look at her.
"Make my uncle laugh."
Mrs. Chen stiffly twitched the corners of her lips and said, "How could it be possible? As the saying goes, a married daughter throws water. It is only natural for you to discipline your daughter-in-law. Although I am from my mother's side, I dare not say anything.
"
"My uncle is joking. Now that I am getting older, I just want to enjoy peace and happiness, but now I am forced to have no choice! Looking at the whole capital, there is no other family like our Marquis Mansion that requires a laboring mother-in-law to teach the daughter-in-law.
"The old lady curled her lips and said calmly.
The daughters-in-law in other families were married off after being well-educated by their parents, but in their family...
Thinking of this, the old lady's depression that had been sinking for more than ten years was brought out again.
Mrs. Chen frowned and was about to answer, but she heard the old lady's words rang out again.
"Since my uncle is here, I will stay in the house for a few days. Don't worry about the house. I will let people pay attention to it. Even if you can't buy a suitable one at the moment, you can rent one for emergency use! Did you say that?"
Isn't this a disguised attempt to drive her out of the Hou Mansion?
Mrs. Chen gritted her teeth and dug her sharp nails deeply into her flesh, "That's what the old lady said."
"I'm getting older, so I won't let you have lunch here." The old lady said indifferently. At the end, she glanced sideways at Aunt Zhu and said, "Aunt Zhu, you still haven't seen off the guests."
Aunt Zhu stood up quickly. She saluted Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen each, and then said, "Uncle, madam, please come!"
After finally leaving Ronghuayuan, Mrs. Chen had not had time to breathe. Mrs. Chen immediately turned to her face and said, "Arui, your mother-in-law is so powerful! You are the same, you are submissive, so you can let her be like this."
Say! From my point of view, she just sees you as being easy to bully, so she slaps you in the face! You, you! You have been the Crown Princess for more than ten years, why do you still have such a weak temper? No wonder the house doesn’t care
No matter whether you are old or young, they will ride on you!"
Even though Mrs. Chen scolded her like this in front of the juniors, Mrs. Chen did not lose face, she just listened without saying a word and lowered her head.
However, Wu Qing behind her couldn't listen anymore. She stood up and interrupted Mrs. Chen with a frown and said, "Mrs. uncle, this is the Hou Mansion. It's inappropriate for you to say that!"
If the news reaches the ears of the old lady, she will definitely get another slap in the face.
This uncle-in-law didn't dare to say anything in front of the old lady, and she yelled on purpose as soon as she came out. Wasn't she deliberately making things difficult for the old lady? Besides, if she hadn't come running over without even saying hello.
, Madam, you wouldn’t have been caught and scolded by the old lady for so long today!
Mrs. Chen obviously did not expect that Wu Qing would dare to refute her words. At that moment, her face immediately darkened, "It seems that what I just said was too light. Not only are the old and the young in this house riding on you, but also
The slaves below are all trying to bully you! Ari, you should set some rules!"
"Sister-in-law, Wu Qing didn't mean that..."
"A Rui..." Seeing Mrs. Chen contradicting her for a maid, Mrs. Chen became increasingly unhappy. Just as she was about to lecture her, a voice suddenly interrupted her.
"Madam, madam." Aunt Luo came over and saluted both of them.
"Mama Luo, Ah Wu asked you to come!" Mrs. Chen was very happy to see that the person who came was Grandma Luo.
Aunt Luo smiled and nodded towards Mrs. Chen, "The girl has already sent someone to clean up Qin Yaxuan. The girl sent her servant to take the madam and uncle over to take a look."
"What about Ah Wu?" Chen asked again impatiently.
"Madam, you have forgotten that today is the end of the month, and the stewards in the outer courtyard are waiting for the girl to reconcile the account books." Grandma Luo looked at Mrs. Chen and replied with a smile.
After hearing what Grandma Luo said, Mrs. Chen felt a little disappointed, but she still nodded.
On the other hand, Mrs. Chen on the side could not hide her surprise when she heard what Grandma Luo said.
Why is it that the steward of the Hou Mansion is waiting for Xie Wu to reconcile the accounts? Could it be that she, a little girl, is taking care of the general affairs of the Hou Mansion?
I don't know when a swallow had built a new nest in the corner of the corridor. Mother Wang and some women were trying to knock the nest down with long bamboo poles.
As if aware of the intentions of the women, a few swallows kept circling around the nest, chirping.
The more Mother Wang listened, the more annoyed she became. She was about to ask the woman with the long bamboo pole to drive the swallows away, but Xie Wu's clear voice suddenly sounded behind her.
"What's going on here?"
Several women hurriedly turned around and saluted Xie Wu.
"Girl, this swallow didn't know when it built a nest in this corner, and I'm just trying to get the nest knocked down." Mrs. Wang replied happily.
Xie Wu glanced at the few swallows that kept circling and couldn't move away, and then looked at the nest where half of the nest had been poked out by the old woman, revealing two small heads, and her heart couldn't help but move slightly.
"Forget it, just keep this nest."
"But this bird's nest is built on the corridor, where people come and go every day, just in case..."
"Then remind them to be careful." Xie Wu glanced at Mama Wang and said.
Mother Wang nodded hurriedly and immediately asked the woman behind her to put away the long bamboo pole.
Xie Wu nodded. She looked at the broken bird's nest, thought about it, and said, "Go find someone else and ask him to nail a shelf under the porch."
"Yes, I will take care of it in a moment." Mother Wang smiled and agreed again.
Xie Wu nodded and was about to go back to the house when she saw Wu Qing leading a woman towards her.
"girl."
Both of them called out to Xie Wu.
Xie Wu smiled and looked at the woman wearing a beautiful blue armor next to Wu Qing, "You must be Grandma Liu."
"Yes, I have seen the girl, please greet her." As she spoke, Grandma Liu bowed to Xie Wu in an upright manner.
"Mommy, you're welcome." Xie Wu smiled, stepped forward and stretched out her hand to help Nanny Liu up, and then she said, "It's been a long and tiring journey, it's been really hard on Nanny."
"I don't dare to be a girl. It's so hard for me, slave. I'm sorry for the girl." After saying this, Grandma Liu took a step back and knelt down in front of Xie Wu.
"Mammy, what are you doing?" Xie Wu smiled. She walked towards Aunt Liu, and was about to reach out to help her up, but she didn't want to do it, but Aunt Liu fell to the ground before her.
"The girl trusted me so I allowed me to come into the house to take care of my wife. But I betrayed my trust. I really feel unworthy of you."
After hearing what Nanny Liu said, Xie Wu smiled. She raised her eyes and glanced at Wu Qing. Wu Qing understood and hurriedly stepped forward and pulled her up regardless of Nanny Liu's objection.
"Mom, it's not your fault. She is the master and you are the servant. This is helpless. What's more... even if there is no mama, what is supposed to come will still come." Xie Wu smiled lightly and said to Mammy Liu.
.
But even though Xie Wu said this, Grandma Liu still felt a little uncomfortable. She stood in front of Xie Wu with her head bowed and did not make a sound.
"Besides, it has already been a great help for me to agree to come to the Hou Mansion. In the future, my mother will ask her to be more considerate." Xie Wu looked at Grandma Liu with a smile and said.
"But girl, Madam-uncle's side..." Nanny Liu still looked at Xie Wu with some uneasiness.
It's easy to ask God to send God to you, especially since my wife still has such an unclear temperament.
Although Wu Qing made her believe in the girl, the girl is not yet a hairpin, and the uncle's wife is both an elder and a guest. If the girl is a little cautious, she may be criticized!
Not to mention there is a lady in the middle.
This is what Grandma Liu is most worried about.
After listening to Aunt Liu's words, Xie Wu suddenly curled her lips and smiled. The tips of her slender eyebrows shone slightly, and the mole at the corner of her eyes suddenly shone more and more under the sunlight. She curled her lips and said, "Mom.
Don’t panic, grandma, isn’t there still grandma here?”
She doesn't have to show up at all.
Her grandmother was not a good-tempered person, especially to someone like Mrs. Chen who rushed to stick to her regardless of face.
"But aren't you afraid that the old lady will make Madam angry?" Nanny Liu couldn't help but asked worriedly.
She knew from the beginning that her wife would have a difficult life after returning to the Marquis Mansion, so she cruelly asked Mrs. Chen to resign and returned to the countryside.
Now I heard from Wu Qing that Mrs. Chen finally gained a foothold in the Hou Mansion because of the girl, but she never expected that Mrs. Chen would stick to her at this time.
She originally didn't want to come with Mrs. Chen, so she kept putting it off, but after all, she was a servant of the Chen family. Even if the wife returned her deed of betrayal to her, her son was still cultivating the Chen family's property.
In the end, she had no choice but to board the Chen family's boat.
After hearing what Grandma Liu said, the curve of Xie Wu's mouth became more and more beautiful, "Of course I'm afraid! What I'm afraid of is that my grandmother won't vent her anger on her!"
She had to let Mrs. Chen know the word 'fear'.
She had to let Mrs. Chen know who was in charge of the Wu'an Hou Mansion!
Nanny Liu and Wu Qing finally reacted.
They finally understood why Xie Wu didn't accompany Mrs. Chen to the old lady's house, and also understood the reason why she asked Aunt Luo to say those words to Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen.
At this moment, Nanny Liu finally believed that Wu Qing had not lied to her.
Their girls are really different from Chen’s!
"Girl, I understand. Don't worry, I will do my best to take good care of my wife." Grandma Liu took a deep breath, and then solemnly saluted Xie Wu.
With a girl like this here, why should she worry about the difficulty ahead?
Xie Wu smiled back and said, "In this case, I will be able to help you."
Now Yang has completely lost the favor of the old lady and Xie Feng. Although she did not move to Xiyuan in the end due to her injuries, it will be difficult to regain her strength for a while. Xie Yuan has been locked up in the ancestral hall to copy scriptures and repent.
After waiting for some time, they used the excuse that she was seriously ill and was haunted by nightmares and sent her to Qingyun Temple for recuperation.
Although the second wife can't spare any energy for the time being, now another uncle-in-law has arrived.
In short, she must arrange a few cautious and stable people around Chen to keep an eye on her, otherwise, sooner or later, whether it is the second house or others, they will start to deal with the first house or the Hou Mansion from her!
She can't give these people this chance!
More importantly, she still had to spare her energy to think about the future path of the Wu'an Hou Mansion!
Regardless of whether it is the Crown Prince or the King of Qi, their paths are all dead ends. Only King Duan...
But there was Lu Zhan clearly sitting on Duan Wang’s boat!
If the Marquis of Wu'an wanted to board King Duan's ship, wouldn't she have to face Lu Zhan again?
Thinking of this, Xie Wu felt irritated for no reason!
