In the end, Grandma Li was beaten up. The old lady was not even allowed to rest in the house for two days, and was directly sent to the remote Zhuangzi overnight.
As for Yang, the old lady scolded her lightly and waved her back.
Such a result was naturally expected by Xie Wu.
The old lady only has two daughters-in-law, and Mrs. Chen has always been disgusted by her and is unable to stand up to the wall. She is determined not to hand over the wife of the Marquis to her hands. It is precisely because of this, no matter what happens, I will
No one would criticize Ms. Yang too harshly and make her lose face. Otherwise, how would Ms. Yang be able to establish her authority in front of her servants and take charge of the central government in the future?
Furthermore, Xie Zheng has already become suspicious of the Yang family. If it is now confirmed that the Yang family has actually placed someone of his own in the second room, the rift between the first room and the second room will probably become deeper and deeper.
And this is something the old lady absolutely does not want to see.
This is also the reason why she didn't interfere with Grandma Li's matter.
"It's just that, after all, the Second Madam was given the advantage." After knowing the cause and effect, Wu Qing sighed to Xie Wu with some regret.
"That's not necessarily the case." Xie Wu smiled lightly.
"What did the girl say?" Wu Qing suddenly became interested.
"Do you think the old lady didn't let anyone into our courtyard?" Xie Wu looked at Wu Qing, her slender phoenix eyes sparkling.
"Girl, you mean..." Wu Qing looked at Xie Wu, with some disbelief on his face.
Xie Wu just smiled and said, "It seems that the second aunt is in charge of the Houfu, but in fact, there are some troubles that cannot escape the eyes of the old lady. Otherwise, why do you think the second aunt has been in charge of the Houfu for so many years and is still constrained everywhere?"
"
The old lady couldn't be happy that the Yang family made such a big fuss this time. Although she was forced by the situation to help the Yang family expose the matter, she may not have no complaints against the Yang family in her heart.
"But if that's the case, then why did the old lady agree to the prince replacing all the people?" Wu Qing asked again.
"Do you think the old lady is as stupid as the second aunt? There is always someone coming in in our courtyard." Xie Wu curled her lips and said.
Wu Qing nodded.
She suddenly thought that if the second wife was considered a fool in the girl's heart, then her own wife...
"What I'm telling you today is to give you some idea. Don't let others design it without mercy." Xie Wu looked at Wu Qing and reminded her.
"My slave understands." Wu Qing nodded solemnly.
"Father, you should also send someone to deliver a letter to him." Seeing that Wu Qing agreed, Xie Wu explained again.
Xie Zheng has not returned home in the past few days. He has just taken over as Zuo Yiwei and has many things to do, so he cannot come back. But since he left the matter to her, and now that the matter has come to an end, she should naturally inform him.
One sound.
When Xie Wu went to Ronghuayuan to pay her respects, the old lady changed her past indifference towards her, smiled and waved to her to come closer, "Mother Zhu always said that you have grown up and become more sensible. I didn't believe it before, but now it looks like you are better than
I used to be more dignified and steady."
Xie Wu pursed her lips and smiled, then lowered her head as if she was shy.
"I heard that you promised those women to select some little girls from their families to be on duty in Cuizhuyuan?" the old lady asked again.
"Yes." Xie Wu responded neither humble nor overbearing.
The old lady nodded approvingly, "It's good to be kind and powerful at the same time. My little girl has indeed grown up."
Xie Wu smiled shyly and said to the old lady, "Grandma, can you let Aunt Zhu take time to come over and help me train those little girls?"
The old lady's eyes widened, but the smile on her face did not change at all. She still smiled kindly and kindly, "Why do you suddenly want to ask Grandma Zhu to help you?"
"The maids in the grandmother's courtyard were all trained by Grandma Zhu. They are all smart and know how to behave, and they follow the same rules." Xie Wu said with a smile.
The old lady brushed Xie Wu's hair affectionately, but did not answer her words.
Xie Wu was not in a hurry and just looked at her with a smile.
She knew the old lady would not refuse.
Rather than crowding people in Cuizhuyuan again, it would be better to use Nanny Zhu's hand to train a few of her "own people".
"Since my little girl has said so, then grandma naturally has no reason to refuse." The old lady smiled and patted Xie Wu's hand, then looked sideways at Aunt Zhu and said, "Aunt Zhu, what I said to you
Did you hear that?”
"My slave, you heard me." Nanny Zhu took over the old lady's words with a smile. After speaking, she turned to face Xie Wu and gave her a half salute, and then said, "My slave, thank you for your trust."
The old lady smiled, then turned to look at Ms. Yang, "Can you take over the matters in the sewing room with your sister-in-law?"
Yang's face froze, "Sister-in-law didn't come to see me, I was thinking..."
"Won't you go to her if she didn't come to you? It's not like you don't know what kind of temper she is! Seeing that the New Year is approaching, it's time to prepare winter clothes for everyone in the house." The old lady said to her with a cold face.
Yang said.
"Yes, mother." Yang's eyes were red with grievance, but she also knew that she had been annoyed by the old lady these days, so she didn't dare to argue for herself, so she agreed honestly.
After scolding Mrs. Yang, the old lady turned to Mrs. Chen and said, "You are the same, don't just look at things in the sewing room and refuse to pay attention. If something goes wrong, I will take it to you!"
"Yes, my wife has remembered it." Ms. Chen stood up in a hurry and replied tremblingly.
Seeing Mrs. Chen's submissive look, the old lady frowned in disgust, "Well, I won't let you have breakfast today. You can all go back."
The old lady started to chase people away, and naturally they couldn't stay any longer, so they bowed and left.
"Sister-in-law, why don't you go to my place for breakfast?" As soon as she left Ronghuayuan, Yang immediately walked up to Mrs. Chen and held her arm affectionately.
"Isn't this... not good?" Chen subconsciously wanted to refuse.
It's not that she hates Mr. Yang, she just feels a little embarrassed to eat at other people's homes, in case her second uncle comes back...
"No matter what happens, we are all part of the same family." Yang said with a smile. Suddenly, as if she had guessed something, she rolled her eyes and the smile on her face became wider, "Sister-in-law, don't worry,
The New Year is approaching, and the official department is busy. He won't be able to come back until dark. Besides, mother just asked me to hand over the sewing room to you. I will take over the sewing room's mother-in-law soon.
Call me over here so you can take a look."
When Yang said this, Chen couldn't refuse. She subconsciously turned to look at Xie Wu, wanting to ask for her opinion.
"Since Second Aunt said so, let's go to Second Aunt's place for breakfast. I'm craving for the plum blossom cakes made by Grandma Li." Xie Wu looked at Mrs. Yang with a smile.
Xie Wu smiled softly and clearly, and the eyes he looked at her were as intimate and trusting as before, but this time, Yang shuddered inexplicably at the look in her eyes.
Grandma Li is right, Xie Wu has really changed!
After having breakfast in Tinglan Courtyard, Mrs. Yang called the woman from the sewing room over.
"You all came here to meet the Crown Prince's wife."
Several mothers-in-law came forward to pay homage to Mrs. Chen.
After Mrs. Chen responded, she didn't know what to say anymore, so she had to turn her face to Ms. Yang.
Seeing that Chen was so useless, Yang felt extremely disdainful, but she didn't show any of it on her face. She still smiled and said to the women in the sewing room, "From now on, the sewing room will be run by
Madam Prince will take over, and if anything happens in the sewing room from now on, you will all go to Madam Prince for advice, remember?"
The ladies looked at each other, and although they agreed, their faces looked very reluctant.
When Mrs. Chen saw this, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed on her face.
Mrs. Yang, on the other hand, turned to Mrs. Chen with a brisk expression and said, "Well, now that my sister-in-law is helping to take charge of the sewing room, I can be considered lazy."
Mrs. Chen twitched the corner of her mouth in embarrassment, with a look of uneasiness on her face.
Grandma Li glanced at Mrs. Chen disdainfully, then turned her face and began to look at Xie Wu who was sitting on the other side.
At this time, Xie Wu was teasing the fourth girl Xie Ru, who was just three years old, with a piece of plum blossom cake. There was a faint smile in her eyes, as if she had no awareness of what was happening here.
But if she was really ignorant, what happened to Nian Yue? How could there be such a big commotion in Cuizhuyuan!
She was obviously a little kitten raised under her nose, so why did she suddenly grow such sharp claws? Or has she always been gentle and affectionate just a skin she wore, but in fact, she has changed a long time ago?
Thinking of this, Grandma Li narrowed her eyes and became more and more afraid of Xie Wu.
Here, Mrs. Yang continued to sigh to Mrs. Chen, "Sister-in-law, you have been away from the capital all year round and you don't know. Everything in this capital is good, but the prices are expensive, especially at the end of the year. The prices of everything increase, and our Houfu is no better than other generations.
Your Excellency, the New Year is the most troublesome time for me every year. Not to mention the interpersonal relationships, just buying and adding items from various places in this mansion is a huge expense. Our Marquis is not as good as those who have been here for generations.
I belong to a noble family, so when the new year comes, I feel so worried that I can’t sleep well, and I just think about where I can save some money. But my mother still thinks that I am not careful enough.”
Hearing what Yang said, Chen's face became more and more nervous.
Yang also caught a glimpse of Chen's face, and the smile on her face became more sincere, "So, sister-in-law, I have to ask you to plan more for me this time for winter clothes and try to save some money."
"I, I'll try my best..." Chen said sarcastically.
"Then I will point my fingers at my sister-in-law this year." Yang's smile became sweeter and sweeter.
When Yang said this, Chen felt even more unsure, and subconsciously, she looked towards Xie Wu.
Yang also noticed this, so she raised the corners of her mouth again, smiled and shouted to Xie Wu, "Awu, if you have time, please help your mother to check the details."
Xie Wulian's eyes looked towards Yang, and after a moment, a faint smile appeared on her lips, "If I had known that the second aunt was going to blame this matter on me, I should have bothered her in the first place.
Second Aunt, please ask Second Aunt to teach me more."
"Look what you said, even if you want to learn now, the second aunt will teach you the same." Yang said with a smile.
Xie Wu curled her lips and smiled, then took Yang's words and said, "Then let me ask Second Aunt, how much money does Second Aunt budget for this year's winter clothes?"
