The Concubine Strikes Back: The Marquis Insists on Me to Be His Wife

"Ha~ If you hadn't used some tricks, mother wouldn't have handed over the household expenses to you. As a concubine, what qualifications do you have to be in charge of the household expenses? My great mistress is still here! Why should I let you be the housekeeper? Do you think I'm dead?"

"Alas, I advise you to spend this time calming down and not doing anything weird! After all, you are still in detention, right?"

"You bastard, don't think you'll be powerful just because you gave birth to a bastard! The Marquis dare not divorce me. I will always be your mistress, and your child can only call me mother. What are you? To put it nicely, you're a concubine, but in reality you're just a servant in this Marquis's mansion. You want the key? No way."

"It gives me a headache just listening to you talking. Since you don't want to hand over the key, I won't be polite. Rumei, take Ruhu and Ruyi to the Madam's yard and search for the key. Ruxue, see if the Madam has the key on her."

"Su Qing, how dare you? How dare you search me? Search my yard?"

"Well, I dare. Just bring it back when you find it. I'm going back to check the account book." After Su Qing said this, she walked out of the ancestral hall without looking at Su Wanyu again.

"Su Qing, you bitch, when I turn the tables, I will never let you have an easy life."

Su Qing covered her ears as she walked, muttering, "Don't listen, don't listen, you bastard. Ignore it, don't pay attention, just scold yourself."

Rumei and the others who came out with Su Qing almost laughed out loud after hearing what she muttered. This Aunt Su was so interesting.

Su Qing went back and looked at the account book for a while, and then Ru Hu brought all the keys. Seeing that it was getting late, let's take inventory of the warehouse tomorrow!

The next day, the servants came after Su Qing had breakfast.

"Ruxue, who among you can write?"

"My dear aunt, we all know how to write."

"As fierce as a tiger and as fierce as wings. After you two have questioned the servants, take a few people to the warehouse to count the numbers. One person will register and the other will sort them."

"As ordered."

"Shuilian, you come and interrogate me. Be more detailed. Rumei will record it."

When Shuilian heard that her aunt asked her to come for interrogation, it meant that she still valued her.

"Yes, I will interrogate you in detail."

Su Qing slowly stood up when she saw that everyone had arrived.

"Since everyone is here, I will get straight to the point. The old lady has handed over the household affairs to me, so I will not let her down. No matter what you did before, let Shuilian check it one by one and re-register it. I am a person who does not tolerate any grain of sand in my eyes. If there is anything, please inform me in advance. You cannot act first and report later. Those who do well will be rewarded, and those who cheat will be punished. There are only two days left before the end of the year. I looked at the account book yesterday. Every year at the end of the year, you will receive two taels of silver. This year, I will take over. After the registration is completed, each person can receive three taels of silver."

"Thank you, auntie~"

"Thank you, auntie~"

"Thank you, auntie~"

Everyone thanked Su Qing in unison.

Su Qing sat down. "I heard from Butler Liu that there are three mothers, who are in charge of the front yard, backyard and kitchen respectively? Who are they?"

Three mothers stood up, looking at each other, and signaling the other to speak first!

Seeing that the three of them were unwilling to speak, Su Qing said, "Since they won't say anything, just replace all three of them!"

Wu Yanran stood up and said, "Auntie is asking you questions? Why don't you speak? And why don't you show any respect? How can you manage things if you are so undisciplined? It would be better to replace them with someone who can take charge."

"Forgive me, Auntie. We old slaves were just wondering who should speak first."
