Taoist Aunt Ma was quickly gagged and dragged out by the mother-in-law.
The room became calm again for a while.
The old lady sat at the top, drinking tea without saying a word, while her gloomy eyes scanned everyone in the room without leaving a trace.
The panic on Yang's face was obvious, and Chen also looked frightened. Only Xie Wu, as if nothing had happened, sat calmly on the chair and drank tea leisurely.
"This tea is a little astringent. A few days ago, Amin sent some Junshan Silver Needles. You can pick them up and bring them here later." The old lady put down the teacup and suddenly said to Aunt Zhu who was standing aside.
"Yes." Aunt Zhu bowed her head and responded.
The old lady raised her eyes to look at Xie Wu, but saw that she didn't even move her eyebrows, she still looked cold and relaxed.
For the first time, the old lady truly felt that her granddaughter was something special.
Whether it was to see through the Yang family's tricks, or to force the Yang family to retreat step by step, every step she took was extremely skillful, and the most powerful thing was that she was able to ask Master Jueyuan, who no one else could even see, to help her.
To solve the problem, he even offered to approve such an extremely precious destiny for her.
And now, she didn't even accept her words at all. It seemed that she was unwilling to accept these overtures from her.
In other words, she was unwilling to expose this matter so easily.
Fortunately, the old lady herself did not intend to let Yang go so easily.
During these days, Yang's frequent stupidities have gradually worn away her patience with her. Especially now, she dares to collude with Taoist Ma to use the legend of gods and ghosts to harm her niece. She knows that she is most taboo about this!
Maybe she has lived too comfortably in the Hou Mansion these years. She knows that she hates Mrs. Chen and cannot leave her husband in her hands, so she becomes more and more arrogant, and even now she doesn't even look down on herself.
"Today's matter ends here. From now on, no one is allowed to mention it again. If anyone in the house dares to discuss this matter, he will be slapped with a fifty-fifty blow before being sold out!" Finally, the old lady spoke with a cold face.
Yang's heart that was hanging in her throat completely dropped.
But then, the old lady's voice rang out again, "Ms. Chen, from now on, you will be in charge of the middle class of the Hou Mansion."
"Mother..." Yang shouted with a trembling voice, looking at the old lady with eyes full of disbelief.
But the old lady seemed not to notice, and continued to say in a cold voice, "Go back and sort out the ledger, keys, etc., and hand everything over to your sister-in-law in two days."
"Mother, how is this possible? Sister-in-law... Sister-in-law has just come back from Ningxia. She is not familiar with the people and things in the house. If you leave it to her, I'm worried..."
"The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. Besides, she manages the sewing shop very well. In this case, she can also manage other things well." The old lady interrupted Yang expressionlessly.
The old lady clearly knew that Xie Wu was making the decisions for Chen in all affairs in the sewing shop. That idiot Chen was just a lump in the tree and could not stand up to the wall at all!
"Mother……"
"This matter is settled. You have worked hard for your sister-in-law in charge of the palace for so many years. Now that she is back, there is absolutely no reason for you to suffer any more." The old lady narrowed her eyes.
Staring at Yang coldly, he continued.
The old lady has made up her mind to take away her housekeeper's power!
Mrs. Yang gritted her teeth and looked at the old lady, her chest felt like someone had stabbed her hard, the pain made her breathless.
She has worked hard to take care of the Hou Mansion for so many years, and she has never dared to slack off, but in the end, she only asked me to take care of the housekeeper for the Chen family!
Thinking of this, all the hatred in Yang's chest surged up instantly.
"Madam." Sensing that Yang's expression was different, Nanny Li quickly stretched out her hand to touch her arm, and glanced at her with her head down.
A small leak will sink a great ship.
You must not make the old lady angry again now.
Why didn't Yang know this? She gritted her teeth hard until the smell of blood came out of her mouth, and then she suppressed the resentment in her chest. She stood up tremblingly while holding on to Grandma Li's hand.
, then, with red eyes, he bowed respectfully to the old lady and said in a dumb voice, "Mom, I understand. I will sort out the things when I get back and give them to my sister-in-law."
Seeing that Yang was willing to give in, the old lady felt a little better.
"The elders and younger ones are in order. For a family like ours, the most important thing is the family tradition. A big family often prospers and loses. You must always be vigilant!" The old lady raised her eyes as she spoke.
He slowly scanned everyone.
"Yes, please keep this in mind, daughter-in-law."
"Daughter-in-law, I remember."
Chen and Yang stood up one after another and responded.
The old lady turned her gaze to Xie Wu.
Xie Wu smiled lightly, stood up and blessed the old lady respectfully. She said in a clear voice, "My granddaughter also remembers it."
The old lady nodded with satisfaction, "In that case, let's all go our separate ways."
"Yes." Everyone responded in unison.
Mrs. Yang held Granny Li's hand with difficulty, turned around and walked out of the door with full of resentment.
Mrs. Chen originally wanted to go out, but seeing that the old lady was still sitting on the warm couch with her eyes closed and drinking tea, she had no intention of leaving. For a moment, she hesitated again.
She was a little worried that the old lady would embarrass Ah Wu.
"Mom, please go back first. Grandma has something to say to me." Xie Wu looked at Chen with a smile and said.
Chen was still a little hesitant.
"Madam, you still need the last few stitches to sew the eldest girl's shoes and socks. Why don't we go back? It seems like it's going to snow again today." Wu Qing said at the right moment.
Mrs. Chen glanced at Wu Qing, finally blessed the old lady, and then held her hand out of the house.
After they all left, the old lady finally put down her tea cup.
This time, she looked at Xie Wu carefully and openly.
She has always known that her granddaughter has an extremely charming face, but in her impression, she is nothing but this face. In her impression, she has always been an arrogant and sensitive little girl.
She looked even more silent and timid in front of her. She didn't believe that a person would suddenly change his temper unless...
It was her mistake.
Perhaps the arrogance, sensitivity, timidity and silence in the past were all pretended by her, but why did she pretend to be like this? And now, why doesn't she continue to pretend?
Of course Xie Wu knew what the old lady's scrutinizing gaze meant, but she did not dodge or panic at all.
Until the old lady finally stopped looking at her and said, "You have nothing to ask me? For example, why don't I pursue your second aunt for framing you?"
"Didn't Grandma just say that for a wealthy family like ours, the most important thing is to maintain good family tradition, and... didn't Grandma also punish the second aunt?" Xie Wu took over the old lady's words with a smile.
The old lady curled her lips, and then continued, "With this punishment, you don't have any resentment in your heart?"
