Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something. For a moment, there was some hesitation on her face, but this hesitation only lasted for a moment. Then she said to Xie Wu, "Girl, do you think Madam can take care of the household affairs in the house?"
?"
Xie Wu raised her eyebrows at Wu Qing, and a smile appeared in her eyes.
Wu Qing looked a little embarrassed, but she continued to say to Xie Wu, "You must have seen Madam's temper. When I was in Ningxia, Grandma Liu took care of all the matters in the house. So, slave
Worry……"
"There's nothing to worry about. Didn't you just say that Mother Liu would go to Beijing after the Chinese New Year?"
"But that doesn't mean we have to wait until the end of the New Year..." Wu Qing frowned as he spoke.
A slight smile overflowed from the corner of Xie Wu's lips, and her slender eyebrows also raised slightly, "Do you think the second aunt will hand over the middle child so easily?"
"But didn't the old lady say something that day?" Wu Qing's eyebrows knitted even tighter.
"Then the second aunt has sorted out the keys to the ledger and sent them over?" Xie Wu looked at Wu Qing with a smile and asked.
Wuqing was silent.
Xie Wu raised her lips and smiled again, "Then, in the past two days, have any ladies or maids come to mother to ask for advice?"
Wuqing's face turned darker.
Xie Wu smiled and leaned on the couch again, "The second aunt has been in charge of the middle eunuch for more than ten years. If she is to hand over the middle eunuch, it will be like cutting her flesh. So, of course, she can drag it away as long as she can.
, Anyway, in two days it will be the Laba Festival, and after that it will be the Little New Year, New Year's Eve, Lantern Festival... There are many things going on during this New Year's festival, and there will be a lot of favors and entertainment coming and going, even if the second aunt is willing to hand over the gifts.
Come out, I'm afraid my mother may not be able to catch it. If something goes wrong, it will be the face of the Hou Mansion that will be lost. Grandma also knows this, so... I don't even have to pay my respects in these two days."
Otherwise, if Mr. Chen asks about this matter out of ignorance, the old lady will not be able to swallow her words.
Thinking of this, Xie Wu couldn't help but laugh again.
However, she was also a little surprised as to why the Yang family didn't just take advantage of the scheme. If the time came, she would only need to make some stumbling blocks secretly. Then wouldn't the power of the middle minister of the Hou Mansion return to her hands? She could also take this opportunity to trample on the Chen family.
One kick, this was a good thing that killed two birds with one stone, why didn't Yang make any move?
Could it be that Yang didn't see it? But even if Yang didn't see it, there was still Grandma Li beside her...
Could it be possible...that Aunt Li didn't persuade Yang?
Thinking of this, the smile in Xie Wu's eyes grew a little more.
"Wouldn't that be an advantage to the Second Madam? The girl has suffered such a great injustice. The old lady said it was good, but in the end, nothing happened to the Second Madam..." Wu Qing said in a muffled voice.
Even if the madam can't control the middle feed, isn't there still a girl?
In the final analysis, it’s just the old lady who favors the second wife!
Thinking of this, Wu Qing couldn't help frowning and looking at Xie Wu. She said, "It would be great if the master were here. He would definitely be able to seek justice for the girl."
Xie Wu curved her lips and smiled, "Okay, don't be sulky. The second aunt has the advantage of not handing over the middle child..."
Xie Shi's case has already happened over there, and the youngest son of the Minister of Civil Affairs is not easy to get along with. When the time comes to make trouble, Yang will have a headache.
At that time, if Mrs. Yang wants to continue to dominate Zhongfeng, I'm afraid the old lady will no longer have any reason to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
And she just took this opportunity to ask the old lady to come forward. With her under her control, the women below would not dare to use any tricks in private, no matter how cunning and cunning they were. After all, at this juncture, they would dare to make trouble under the eyes of the old lady.
Regardless of whether she has a good reputation or not, or whether she is an old man in the house, I'm afraid she won't end up with anything good in the end.
None of them are stupid, and no one would seek death.
Yang herself was afraid and didn't dare.
Wu Qing saw Xie Wu smiling brightly. She knew that the girl must have had an idea. At that moment, the suffocation in her chest completely dissipated, and her face became much lighter. "I will listen to the girl," she said.
.”
Xie Wu looked at her and smiled again, and just as she was about to speak, she saw a burst of rapid footsteps outside, followed by the curtain moving, and Grandma Luo stepped in in a few steps.
"Girl, the prince is back."
Xie Wu had not yet made a move, but Wu Qing suddenly stood up from the round stool, "You said the master is back?"
Grandma Luo nodded vigorously and said, "On the way back, I happened to bump into You'an beside the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince is heading to Ronghuayuan now. He should be back in a while."
"That's great." Wu Qing almost jumped up with joy. She was still thinking just now that if the master was here, he would not watch the girl suffer such great injustice.
Didn't the second lady just take advantage of the master's absence to come up with such a sinister idea to deal with the girl? In the final analysis, she was bullying the eldest lady!
"Girl, let's go to the main room and wait." Wu Qing looked at Xie Wu with excitement and said.
Xie Wu smiled and nodded.
Xie Wu didn't wait in the main courtyard for too long, and Xie Zheng returned from Ronghua Courtyard in just one stick of incense.
As soon as he entered the room, he didn't say anything. He raised his feet and sat on the chair. He raised his hand and poured himself a cup of tea. Without waiting for the tea to cool down, he raised his head and poured the tea down his throat.
"Brother Zheng, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Xie Zheng's behavior, Mrs. Chen was afraid of burning his throat, so she hurriedly stepped forward and snatched the tea cup from his hand and looked at him distressedly.
Xie Zheng ignored Chen's words. He only raised his eyes and looked at Xie Wu quietly.
Xie Wu blessed him, then stepped forward to pick up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Xie Zheng. After doing all this, she looked at Xie Zheng with a smile and said, "There are still two days before the Laba Festival, why did my father suddenly come back?"
?”
Xie Zheng frowned and looked at Xie Wu with heavy eyes.
After a long time, Xie Zheng took a sip of the tea that Xie Wu poured for him, and then said in a calm voice, "I know everything that happened in the past few days." At this point, Xie Zheng suddenly put down the tea cup in his hand.
, he raised his eyes to look at Xie Wu again, and said to her with a very complicated expression, "Awu, your grandmother said that you are unwilling to pursue the Yang family?"
"Yes." Xie Wu had a smile in her eyes.
No, Xie Zheng's expression turned even uglier after hearing what she said. His eyes looking at Xie Wu also felt a little guilty, "Is it because of your grandmother? She refuses to make decisions for you?"
He suddenly didn't dare to think about what kind of life Ah Wu lived during the years when they were away from the capital.
Yang's heart is so vicious, and her mother doesn't seem to care much about Ah Wu...
Thinking of this, Xie Zheng's heart suddenly throbbed hard.
Seeing Xie Zheng's expression, something suddenly touched Xie Wu's heart. The negative words reached her lips but she swallowed them back. She thought about it and finally spoke, but what she said was something else.
"If my father were in the house that day, would he make the decision for me?"
