Catching an adulterer at the beginning, the mistress of the Marquisate went crazy

Although Xiao Lizi is a eunuch, he is also a man. After arriving at the Marquis' Mansion, he must obey Gu Jinyun's arrangements. The first thing he does after entering the mansion is naturally to pay his respects to his master Gu Jinyun.

The previous Nanny Yue set a lot of rules for the mansion. Although it made the mansion better and better, it also brought some troubles to the master Gu Jinyun.

This time the Queen Mother sent a eunuch over, and Gu Jinyun didn't really want to accept it. But since the person was already here, he would definitely not send him back.

When Liu Tianshu came to the front yard, Hou also happened to be bringing Gu Jinqing's siblings and all the illegitimate sons and daughters in the mansion over.

As everyone arrived, Liu Tianshu had someone set up an incense table in the yard, and then began to receive orders.

The Empress Dowager's decree was very simple. It roughly meant that Gu Jinqing was a bad housekeeper and caused the death of Aunt Liu and her unborn baby. Considering her young age and ignorance, the Empress Dowager only allowed her to reflect on her mistakes in seclusion in the courtyard for three months and she was not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion again.

At the same time, Xiao Lizi will be Gu Jinyun's personal servant from now on, and everything in the front yard will be under his arrangement.

The moment he found out that Liu Tian'ai was pregnant, Gu Jinqing knew that he was in trouble.

Upon hearing the empress dowager's punishment, he did not dare to show any dissatisfaction. After respectfully accepting the order, he obediently took his people back to his own courtyard.

As Gu Jinqing left, the others didn't take the sudden appearance of a young eunuch in the mansion seriously and soon dispersed.

Liu Tianshu was destined not to have a peaceful rest that day. She had just returned to the yard and had not yet had time to return to her room when Mother Luo came over and said that Hou was looking for her.

Gu Jinqing has been under house arrest and can no longer be the housekeeper. I'm afraid that Hou wanted to ask me to come over this time just for the right to be the housekeeper.

After several months of relaxation, Liu Tianshu didn't want to take over the mess left by Gu Jinqing at all. However, if she refused, she would not be able to explain to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother intended to support Liu Tianshu. Even though Hou was unwilling, she sent someone to find her as soon as she returned to Canglan Courtyard.

"Old lady..."

Entering the main hall of Canglan Courtyard, Liu Tianshu bowed slightly to Hou, stood up without waiting for her to speak, and sat down in the seat below her.

Faced with Liu Tianshu's rudeness, Hou wanted to get angry but only frowned slightly.

There were already many spies of the Empress Dowager in the Marquis' Mansion, and now there was another Little Li Zi. No matter how stupid she was, she knew that now was not the time to break up with Liu Tianshu.

Liu Tianshu naturally knew this, which was why she did not give the Hou family any face at all.

Ever since she married into the Marquis's Mansion, Mrs. Hou had never done anything bad to her because of the Empress Dowager's majesty.

With the bad memories from her previous life, Liu Tianshu couldn't like Hou at all. Naturally, there was no need to give face to someone she didn't like.

"Liu, Aunt Liu, it was indeed Sister Qing who was wrong this time. I am here to apologize to you. From now on, the household affairs of this mansion will still be managed by you, the Marquis' wife."

"Third sister, it's not me who should apologize, but Aunt Liu. Now that she's gone, even though I'm her sister, I can't forgive anyone on Aunt Liu's behalf.

As for the household affairs in the mansion, Third Sister cannot take care of it. We still have the old lady, so you can just continue to take care of it."

Liu Tianshu's obvious refusal made Hou angry, but she couldn't show it on her face.

"I am old and can't take care of so many things. You are the mistress of this mansion, so you have to take care of the household affairs."

As Mrs. Hou spoke, she waved to Mother Luo.

After receiving Hou's reminder, Mother Luo took the account book and the pair of keys in her hand and placed them in front of Liu Tianshu.

Looking at the photo album in front of her, without even looking at the contents inside, Liu Tianshu could be sure that the accounts inside must be in a mess. It would take her ten days or half a month to sort out all the accounts.

"Madam, do you really want me to take over the household expenses?"

"You are the only one who can take care of the household chores." Hou said anxiously.

Hou Shi has also seen how capable Gu Jinqing is in recent days. She has a headache looking at the accounts here, otherwise she would not have handed over the household expenses so readily.

They were all smart people, and she naturally heard the threat in Liu Tianshu's words. As long as the number she found out was not too large, she was willing to make up some of it.

After making sure that the Hou family understood her meaning and agreed to make up for Gu Jinqing's losses, Liu Tianshu no longer refused and let Guan Xue leave with the photo album and the pair of keys.

Looking at the backs of Liu Tianshu and her servant leaving, Hou breathed a sigh of relief.

His daughter was really not cut out to be a housekeeper. Although she might give him a large sum of money in the future, it was better than letting her be a housekeeper and lose money all the time.

Compared to Hou's relief, Guan Xue returned to Liu Tianshu's room, put down the account books and other things, and asked with concern: "Madam, you know that managing the household affairs in the mansion is a thankless task, why do you still accept it?"

"To make our lives easier."

Liu Tianshu smiled and rubbed Guan Xue's head.

"The Queen Mother sent someone here, which means we have her backing. If I still can't take charge of the household affairs under this situation, the Queen Mother will look down on me, and our days in the Marquis' Mansion will be even more difficult than they are now."

Hearing Liu Tianshu's words, Guan Xue sighed.

"Madam, the Marquis will be recuperating in the mansion these days. This is a good time for you and your wife to cultivate your relationship. If you focus all your attention on these account books, how will you have time to accompany the Marquis? Isn't this a bargain for Tao'er and the other three concubines?"

As long as Liu Tianshu still had some feelings for Gu Jinyun, or still wanted to live a good life with him, she would still worry a little.

But she didn't care about Gu Jinyun. Although checking accounts was not an easy job, it gave her enough reasons not to meet Gu Jinyun. This was also one of the reasons why she was willing to take over the household expenses.

"Go get the pen, ink, paper, and abacus ready. I'm going to start the accounting."

"Yes!"

Guan Xue agreed respectfully and went to prepare things.

These things are always available in Liu Tianshu's room, and Guan Xue prepared them quickly.

Picking up the account book and abacus, Liu Tianshu was about to do a careful calculation when she saw Ming Yi's figure flash past the window.

"Guan Xue, I want to settle the account quietly. Please go out and keep watch. If it's nothing serious, don't let anyone disturb me."

"Yes!"

Knowing that Ming Yi had returned, Guan Xue left obediently.

As Guan Xue left, Ming also climbed through the window and entered the room.

"We are all family in this courtyard. You don't have to be sneaky every time you show up..."

After Liu Tianshu finished speaking, Ming Yi frowned and reminded her, "Madam, when I came here, I found that there was an extra expert in the mansion. You should be more cautious in the mansion in the future."

Hearing Ming Yi's words, Liu Tianshu immediately became interested and looked at him with shining eyes.

"Master? What master? Who's better, you or that guy?"
