I was a housekeeper in ancient times

Looking at the rain splashing in from the window, Lin Weiqiao was silent and thoughtful, thinking about how to make Aunt Lian give up and solve the problem fundamentally to prevent future troubles.

Now that Aunt Lian has stabilized her pregnancy, we shouldn’t be too harsh, lest we upset Aunt Lian’s pregnancy.

What can be done?

Zhang's mother said with a bitter face: "I have advised her many times, openly and secretly, but she won't listen. If I talk too much, she will get annoyed and angry."

She thought, why not let Aunt Lian meet Chai Sheng's family?

If you think about it carefully, it's too risky.

If I can’t see Mr. Chai, maybe Zhou can do it?

"I have a way to try."

Besides, after Ding returned to her room, she first scolded Aunt Sun and Aunt Muju, saying that they couldn't even do the accounts properly and allowed others to find fault with them, bringing shame to the Second House!

Aunt Sun and her husband felt very aggrieved. They had been in charge of the kitchen for so many years and no one had ever dared to question them, let alone check the accounts.

They cannot be blamed for the fake accounts. Even if they wrote down the actual prices, it would be useless if they don't match the expenses in the accounting office. Their account books are not clean and are not to be seen by others.

After scolding her, Mrs. Ding still couldn't calm down. "Now it's good. Even I can't protect you. After this, how can you go back to the kitchen in the future?"

Aunt Sun said carefully, "If you ask me, it's all because of this Lin Madam who's meddling in other people's business. The Madam didn't say anything, but she took it upon herself to check the accounts. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't have to..."

Aunt Mu Ju continued, "That's right. She loves to gossip. Everyone knows that the eldest lady is easy to talk to, but she takes advantage of her position close to the eldest lady. The eldest lady doesn't like to be in charge of things, so she takes on everything. Didn't the eldest wife make a fuss a while ago about putting forward those two conditions before she would hand it over to the public? In my opinion, it was her idea. This Madam Lin is too much of a nuisance."

Ding had seen how powerful Lin Weiqiao was. She was eloquent, shrewd and scheming, and even she was no match for her.

Thinking of Lin Weiqiao's past behavior, Aunt Sun complained bitterly, "She comes to the kitchen every now and then, and she finds faults in everything. She also says that she doesn't take the second house seriously because she has the support of the first lady. I heard that she coaxes even the first lady to listen to her. She makes all the decisions about the first house, and she simply thinks she is the real master. And didn't the second girl cry because she was bullied by her last time? She is clearly a troublemaker. With her around, how can our second house have a peaceful life?"

Listening to them talking about Lin Weiqiao, Ding tightly grasped a lucky jade ruyi in her hand, thinking about how Lin Weiqiao had repeatedly made things difficult for the second wife over the past few days, forcing her to retreat step by step and forcing her to be cautious everywhere, which made her very angry.

Seeing that Ding hated Lin Weiqiao so much, Aunt Wu came to Ding's side and whispered, "Madam, keeping her here will only bring disaster. The first lady listens to her in everything, and judging by her behavior, she doesn't want to leave any chance for our second wife to survive. Madam, we must not keep her here."

Ding was shocked. "You mean..."

Ding understood the murderous intent in Aunt Wu's eyes and hesitated, "She was given by the Qi family, and the eldest wife thinks she is so important, I'm afraid it will be difficult to kill her."

Aunt Wu showed a cruel look on her face, "We can destroy her first, and then get rid of her step by step."

"Destroy? How?"

"Madam, she is just an old woman. It would be easy to destroy her. She has children. It would be easier for you to control her than to kill an ant."

The rain gradually subsided at night, and raindrops fell from time to time in front of and behind the house, on the trees, flowers and plants.

With the rain and the wind, the summer heat was blown away, bringing a rare coolness to the air.

There was an oil lamp lit in the room, the flame flickering slightly. Lin Weiqiao and Xiaohan were sitting under the window. Hong Luo had been too active during the day, so he fell asleep early on the small bed and only ate a few bites of dinner.

Mrs. Huang, who had just taken over the kitchen, made three important moves upon taking office. The first thing she did was to put a lot of effort into Lin Weiqiao's meals.

The dinner that was delivered included crispy quail, chestnut black chicken soup, stir-fried pork with lettuce, steamed three delicacies, honey-roasted spareribs, and steamed grass carp. The table was filled with such a rich variety of dishes that she could almost feel it was Chinese New Year.

When they were almost full, she saw that Xiaohan didn't eat much, so she joked, "Maybe you've been in the kitchen for too long and are used to these meals, so you're not that hungry."

Xiaohan said: "No, I'm just not in the mood."

"how?"

"nothing."

Seeing Xiaohan lowering his head, he seemed to be worried about something.

She thought that Xiaohan had been wronged in the kitchen and wanted to stand up for her.

Xiaohan said hurriedly: "It has nothing to do with the mansion, it's..."

She thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Is that your mother?"

"Ah."

"Are you having a conflict with your mother?"

Xiaohan shook her head and said that her mother often came to see her, and she didn't want to see her, but her mother insisted on pestering her. When the mother and daughter met, they quarreled again.

"She also wanted me to recognize her, forgive her family, and stay at her house when I have time."

"you are not willing?"

"I'm not stupid, how could I agree to this? You sold me once, and you want to sell me a second time?"

"Too."

Xiaohan talked about what her mother had done over the years. Since the birth of her little daughter, her mother only had eyes for her sister and not her. She often visited her, probably to get some benefits from her.

She also said that her stepfather's family was doing OK, and that she worked so hard in the uncle's house, but the monthly salary she earned was only enough for her own spending. Her mother didn't want to support her, but wanted to take something from her.

Lin Weiqiao listened with disdain, "You, mother, really went too far. If you don't want to recognize her, then don't recognize her. Next time you come to the Bo's Mansion, just ignore her."

Xiao Han said, "That's what I was planning. Every time I see her, I feel unhappy. But she keeps talking about how hard she works at Chu Qing Hall. She can't leave if she doesn't come to see me."

"Wait, your mother works at Chu Qing Hall?"

"Yes, I am responsible for washing clothes for the girls inside."

"Then can your mother enter Chuqing Hall?"

"Of course it is."

Lin Weiqiao was quite surprised. This was really a coincidence.

She asked Mugua to go to Chuqing Pavilion to inquire, but since it was inconvenient to go in, it was difficult to get useful information just by watching from the outside. They also had to stay there all day long, which was a waste of manpower and resources.

Xiao Han's mother was able to enter Chu Qingguan and was responsible for washing clothes for Chuguan. She must have been able to find out more information than others, and perhaps even know some secrets.

She changed her mind, "You need to see your mother. I have something to ask her."

Xiaohan opened his eyes wide, "Huh?"

She wanted to find Lu Yuxuan as soon as possible and to contain him in advance, not letting him take the initiative.

The one who strikes first will have a better chance of winning.
