Before fleeing famine, marry a playboy!

Chapter 26 Feng's Difficulties

"Yesterday the concierge reported that the little bitch came back with that little bastard, and someone saw that little bastard enter Luozhi Garden in the evening.

Although they didn't catch anyone, I always feel that they are not innocent. Madam Li looks weak and restless. If such a lady marries my son, wouldn't it be unfair to him?"

The more she thought about it, the more Feng frowned. "Although I don't like that little bastard, it is a fact that he inherited his aunt's good looks. If a woman is in love for the first time, it is easy to be bewitched. This uncle and sister-in-law live under the same roof, and gossip will inevitably spread over time. It will be bad if it affects Zhan'er's reputation."

Grandma Feng, "Madam, have you thought of any solution?"

Feng's eyes rolled, "Tell me, if the little bitch gets a bad reputation, and then the little bitch with a bad reputation is paired with the little bitch who already has a bad reputation, will the old man change his mind?"

Grandma Feng's cloudy eyes brightened up, "This way, my husband won't have to marry a woman he doesn't like."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Li Yuening walked in the Xie mansion and occasionally saw a few servants yawning as they passed by. She was dressed simply and looked unfamiliar, so she did not attract anyone's attention.

Walking all the way to the kitchen, there were a few women talking loudly inside, "They woke us up at dawn today. I don't know who has the heart to spread the word."

"Xu, keep your voice down. If the eldest lady hears it, she will definitely deduct her monthly salary."

"Ever since the eldest lady took over, I haven't had a single day of rest. I'm always worried that if I don't do something right, my salary will be deducted. I've already had 50 cents deducted this month."

"Me too. Last time I went to give the eldest lady bird's nest, she said it was too watery. Did I add water to it after I ate it secretly? It was obviously the bird's nest that Feng Ma's son bought that was of poor quality, but in the end it became the cook's fault. It's really unfair."

"Speaking of this, he even replaced the ginseng that the Second Madam used to nourish her body. Wow, he's really brave."

"Hmph, that's nothing. After all, Aunt Feng is the Madam's wet nurse. As long as she doesn't mistreat the eldest son, who else would dare to make trouble? We just need to ask him to show mercy and not deduct our money."

Cui'er, whose mouth was covered by Xiaosui'er outside the house, was so angry that her face turned red. These servants were so bold that they dared to openly make up stories about their master. The Xie family had lost all face.

Li Yuening chuckled and said, "Why are you so angry? Who are you angry with?" Seeing Cui'er staring at her, she said, "Xiao Sui'er, let her go."

Cui'er rushed into the kitchen and started scolding after she was free.

"Come, wipe your hands." Xiao Sui'er took the handkerchief handed over by Li Yuening and wiped her hands vigorously before asking, "Madam, how do you know that Cui'er has a problem?"

“When we first arrived at Xie’s house yesterday, this maid was obviously more active than the others.

The escort agency also has servants, and they are used to acting according to their master's mood. Yesterday, Cui Er was the only one who dared to step forward among all the maids and servants in the yard. This is enough to explain the problem."

Xiao Sui'er suddenly realized, "Oh, she was instructed by someone."

"And she was waiting for us when we entered the mansion. Just think about it, when she was taking you to familiarize yourself with the environment, did she ask all kinds of questions about me, your wife?"

Xiaosui thought about it and nodded.

"A person who approaches you with a purpose will say all kinds of nice things and do all kinds of things that benefit you to make you relax your vigilance. When you let down your guard and think you have made friends or even a confidant, that's when you fall into the trap." Li Yuening slowly guided Xiao Sui'er.

Xiao Sui'er shook herself and said, "My dear, this is too scary."

"What are you afraid of? Just answer whatever she asks. If you answer her honestly, she won't be able to tell whether what you say is true or false." Li Yuening knew that even if Xiaosui told everyone everything, the other party would only know her original self, and she was another Li Yuening.

Xiao Sui'er shook her head, "I won't tell anyone who asks me in the future."

Li Yuening knocked Xiao Sui'er on the head, "Silly."

"Hehe~"

After the kitchen became quiet, Li Yuening brought Xiaosui'er in. Both the master and servant felt warm immediately.

Everyone greeted Li Yuening. Apparently, Cui'er had already introduced her to them during this time.

"Everyone, just go about your own business. Don't worry about me. I'm here today just to observe and learn." The girl's voice was soft and she was very pretty. She was very deceptive. They were all elderly women, but they were all very happy to see the young lady in front of them who was almost the same age as their own girls.

"Hey, come and sit here, it's warm and you won't be exposed to the smoke." From the sound of the voice, it was the lady who had her 50 monthly silver coins deducted.

"Thank you, ma'am."

"Young lady, you can just call me Auntie Wu. In the future, just tell me what you want to eat. I am the best at cooking for your wife's family."

"Really? Thank you, Grandma Wu. Grandma Wu is so great!" Li Yuening praised with a smile, as if she had already tasted Grandma Wu's food.

"Madam, I'm Madam Zhu, and I'm good at making soup. I see that you're thin, so you need to take good care of yourself in the future.

But with Grandma Zhu here, you can rest assured. I promise to keep you fair and tender in a year or two." This is the old woman who was wrongly accused of eating bird's nest.

"Hello, Aunt Zhu. To be honest with you, I am still in mourning and cannot eat too much. I know you are all worried about me and I am very grateful.

It’s just that everyone has a hard time, and it’s not right to make an exception for an outsider like me.

Aunt Feng is a generous person. I have taken note of what everyone said before. Whenever I meet Aunt Feng or Aunt Feng, I will tell them about your difficulties. I believe that as the mistress of the Xie Mansion, I will not embarrass you. "Li Yuening said with a smile, and then everyone's smile froze on their faces.

"No...no need. Madam, please sit down. We will...get busy first." Grandma Wu hurried away.

"Well, the old man is waiting for everyone's breakfast. By the way, this is the first time I see people eating breakfast so early. It turns out that rich families are different from us." Li Yuening seemed to be discussing the latter sentence with Xiaosui'er.

"No, my lady, have you forgotten? The master said that the only people who get up before dawn in the morning are the officials going to court and the landlords like Zhou Paopi." Xiao Sui'er realized something was wrong after she said this. Aren't the Xie family the landlords?

"Haha, I... I was just talking off the cuff, it didn't mean it, my lady~" Xiao Sui'er was about to cry.

"You are simple-minded and you really are. You only know the landlord but don't know who the landlord's family should really deal with?

It's the one who gives out money. As the saying goes, it's easier to see the King of Hell than to deal with the little devils. You said you were in the escort agency before. Do I need to know everyone?"

Xiaosui shook her head smartly.

"Yes, if there is any problem, I just need to find the manager. The manager does not need to report to me on what to do specifically. He settles the matter and I just consider it as nothing. Isn't it simple?" Li Yuening asked.

Xiao Sui'er was confused, "What if the subordinates are bullied by the steward?"

"Xiao Sui'er, today I will teach you a saying: If the people don't report it, the officials won't investigate it. It means that the people who are bullied are afraid of this and that, so they choose to keep quiet. Those who want to help them can't provide evidence to investigate it."

"My lady, I understand. I just think that the person involved in the unfair matter must come forward and explain it clearly. Otherwise, how will others know?"

Li Yuening praised: "You are quite good at drawing inferences from one example."
