Chapter 18: Losing the power of the family, stealing chicken but losing rice
The old lady slapped Zhang in the face.
"I let you be the head of the household, and this is how you manage the servants? The young masters and young ladies in the mansion got sick from eating, it must be because the kitchen was not clean. How can you blame Shuang'er? Shuang'er is the most obedient and law-abiding person. How can she, a young lady in the boudoir, have the ability to make everyone in the mansion have diarrhea..."
The old lady scolded the first lady so harshly that she was completely stunned.
That's not what the old lady said when they came.
Why now...
Zhang was not stupid either. She quickly realized that the old lady did not want to divide the family, and even more so did not want to hand over Gu Nanxiao's military pay.
The Pingyang Marquis's Mansion has been accustomed to a life of extravagance and luxury. It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
This is the Holy Capital, the place where the emperor lives, and there are many places to spend money.
If they really split up, where would they get the money to live a luxurious life?
After Zhang figured it out, she could only swallow her anger and apologize to Gu Lingshuang.
"Shuangshuang, it's Auntie's fault. Auntie has wrongly blamed you.
Don't worry, when I get back, I will teach those lazy women in the kitchen a lesson.
For all the time that your aunt has taken good care of you, please forgive her this time."
Gu Lingshuang knew that it would not be possible to divide the family in a short time.
Moreover, the fact that the original owner was killed by the first wife cannot be let go.
She said with a half-smile: "I was stupid before, I always thought that uncle and aunt loved me very much, now it seems that I thought too much."
"My aunt didn't manage the mansion well. The maids and servants were cunning and treacherous. In the end, the whole mansion had diarrhea. She actually blamed me. It really makes me feel cold."
"Fortunately, I am not favored and cannot even eat the meals in the big kitchen. Otherwise, I would be like you."
Gu Lingshuang said these words without blushing or feeling nervous, and she insulted the people in the eldest house so much that they blushed and became angry.
But for Gu Nanxiao's military pay and to keep that little bitch Gu Lingshuang in check, they had no choice but to endure it.
Gu Nanqiao chuckled: "Shuangshuang is right. It was your aunt's fault. This matter has nothing to do with you."
"Since uncle has said so, I think grandma should not let aunt run the family."
"Auntie serves uncle and has to take care of my elder brother, third brother and elder sister. It's understandable that she can't manage the mansion well. Otherwise, how about giving the power of the household to Third Aunt?"
The old lady gave birth to three sons.
The eldest son Gu Nanqiao inherited the title of Marquis of Pingyang, the second son Gu Nanxiao is currently commanding three armies in the military camp, and the third son Gu Nanyu has mediocre qualifications and is only a clerk.
The clerks were specifically responsible for writing the confessions of prisoners. Fortunately, Gu Nanyu was on duty as the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, and his status was slightly higher than that of the clerks in the yamen.
It is precisely because this third uncle has no special skills and can only write poetry that he is the least favored by the old lady.
Uncle San's son, Gu Qinghan, is the second oldest among his grandchildren. He is a quiet person and the old lady doesn't like this taciturn man who can't even say a word.
The third aunt was even less welcomed. Although they lived in the same Pingyang Marquis Mansion, the old lady would not allow the third wife, Xu, to come to the front yard unless there was something important.
Gu Lingshuang was the one who wanted to annoy the first wife, so she suggested that the old lady hand over the power of the household to the third wife, Xu.
Zhang was so angry that she wanted to tear her mouth apart. This bitch was even taking advantage of her.
She would tolerate her for the time being and wait until tomorrow's coming-of-age ceremony when all the guests were present, and then she would see how she would make this little bitch embarrass herself in public.
Gu Xian'er said angrily: "Gu Lingshuang, don't push your luck."
Gu Lingshuang pretended to be confused.
"How did I get too far? Isn't this for the sake of Pingyang Marquis Mansion?"
"you......"
Gu Xian'er wanted to say something, but was stopped by Gu Qingfeng.
Things have come to this point, which is very unfavorable for the first wife.
If they continue to confront Gu Lingshuang head-on, and if they provoke this bitch Gu Lingshuang and she really wants to split up the family, that would be disastrous.
So, their eldest wife had to endure it.
The old lady sighed.
"Shuangshuang's words make sense. Your eldest aunt has been really tired recently, but your third aunt comes from a small family and has never managed such a large family business. It would be inappropriate to let her manage the family all of a sudden. Grandma will take over the management of the family first. What do you think?"
Gu Lingshuang raised her eyebrows.
This is not bad, at least it helps to relieve the trouble in the eldest room.
As the saying goes, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers.
The old lady and Zhang were the two women with the highest status in the rear palace.
The power to manage the household has always been what women in the inner house care about most.
Zhang must have been very upset after losing her power as the head of the family.
The old lady has enjoyed her life for many years, and now she is suddenly in charge of the household again. There are so many things to take care of, and she is afraid that her body cannot handle it.
She expressed great satisfaction at being able to give them some trouble.
"I agree with your suggestion, grandma. Tomorrow is the day of my coming-of-age ceremony. Grandma, you can see that the clothes and jewelry I'm wearing are from a few years ago. Why not take this opportunity to buy some more jewelry? When people outside see me, it will also bring honor to the Marquisate, right?"
The old lady gritted her teeth.
This damn bitch is really getting more and more greedy. Now she is blatantly asking her for money.
But what she said made sense. If they didn't give her new clothes or new headwear for her coming-of-age ceremony, if word got out, people would say they were mistreating Gu Lingshuang.
It was embarrassing enough that they had diarrhea today. If rumors spread any more, they would never be able to hold their heads up in Shengjing again.
Thinking of this, the old lady endured the pain and said, "Go to the account office and withdraw 100 taels of silver later."
Gu Lingshuang smiled happily: "Thank you grandma, I knew you were the best."
After all the trouble, not only did the old lady and the people from the first house fail to punish Gu Lingshuang, they also ended up losing more than they gained.
Zhang's power as the head of the family was taken away.
Suddenly, one hundred taels of silver were missing from the mansion's treasury.
They came with excitement and left with dejected looks.
During the whole process, Aunt Zhao didn't say much. She just watched Gu Lingshuang debate with the crowd with her eyes wide open.
When did the second girl become so eloquent?
In the past, the second girl would endure even if she was wronged, but today she actually knew how to fight back, and her fightback was so beautiful.
"Second girl, I think you have changed."
Gu Lingshuang raised her hand and touched the marks on her neck that had not yet faded.
"Yes, people always change. I was almost strangled to death by the mother and daughter of the first wife. If I still don't wake up, then I deserve to die."
Aunt Zhao understood that the second young lady was really cold-hearted towards the people in the first wife's house.
I didn't expect that the second girl who had come to her senses would be so dazzling.
The maids and servants at Jingya Garden became excited when they saw their young lady's expression, which showed that everything was under control.
They felt that the second young lady seemed to have suddenly awakened.
Her temperament is unattainable, and even her brain has become smarter.
This second young lady is no worse than the eldest young lady.
