Marrying a powerful eunuch three times
Chapter 47 Taking away the housekeeper's power
Chunxi picked up Taohua and went to wash up, saying indignantly: "The old lady must be angry that the second master was beaten by the second master Su yesterday. That's why she deliberately took away your housekeeper power."
Dongxiang gritted her teeth and said angrily:
"No. We can't let the old lady be so confused about right and wrong. I will go back to the Su Mansion to find the eldest lady..."
Su Rutang hurriedly called her.
"What did you say to my aunt? Did you say that the old lady took away my power to manage the household?"
"Let grandfather come forward and pressure the Zhou family to return the housekeeping power to me. Wouldn't that be even more embarrassing in the capital?"
"But it's also really frustrating to have a concubine riding on your head and shitting on you." Dongxiang was unwilling.
Chunxi gritted his teeth and said angrily:
"The book says that a husband is a gift from heaven. But what's the point of having a husband like this? A concubine who has just been in the mansion for less than a month can be in charge of the household. This is something that only a mud-legged family like the Zhou family can do."
No matter how much a noble family dotes on their concubine, they only treat her as a favorite toy.
You can’t get past the mistress.
However, Su Rutang knew that Zhou Chengru didn't like Song Huaiyan at all.
Perhaps he was short of money and took a fancy to Song Huaiyan's suggestion of opening a shop. On the other hand, he also wanted to divert everyone's attention away from Murong Feiyue.
I felt a little pity for Song Huaiyan for some reason.
She sat in front of the mirror and let Chunxi tie her hair and do her makeup.
Looking at the person in the mirror, I felt inexplicably relieved. I had been thinking of giving up the housekeeping power, and this was even better.
After dressing up.
Su Rutang left Taohua and Rong Rui in the yard, and she took Xia An and Qiu Ling out of the yard to Rong Xitang.
Arrived near Rongxi Hall.
I saw Zhou Chengru and Song Huaiyan walking hand in hand in front.
Su Rutang lowered his voice and calmed down, deliberately slowing down his pace.
Wu'er saw her and bowed quickly.
Zhou Chengru frowned slightly, "Grandma is sick, why don't you go and take care of her?"
"I caught a cold and haven't fully recovered yet. I'm afraid of exacerbating the disease." Su Rutang simply quickened his pace and passed by them.
Seeing her expressionless face.
Zhou Chengru felt very unhappy.
"Su Rutang, you..."
"Don't let the old lady wait too long." Su Rutang continued walking towards Rong Xitang without looking back.
Arrived at Rongxi Hall.
So Young still greeted as usual.
The other maids were not so happy, and the people from the second room sat below as invisible people.
Cui's eyebrows knitted together and she sighed:
"Su Shi. How dare your rogue brother hit Chengru?"
She only had this biological son left, and the third son was born to a concubine after all, so as a mother, she naturally felt sorry for the child.
Su Rutang sat down.
She curled her lips slightly:
"Madam, my second brother is a disciple of the emperor and a junior official of the Dali Temple. I absolutely dare not accept the word rogue."
Cui felt very uncomfortable because Su Rutang used to be very well-behaved.
I also listen to them.
"Su, there is one more thing. You seem weak and can't bear children." Old Madam Zhou sat on a chair, one hand on her royal blue headband. "Let's hand over to Song today. Let Song and Yujie take care of the household affairs in the mansion."
Madam Zhou made up her mind.
If Su Rutang cried and begged, he could take the opportunity to take out money to make up for Zhou Chengru's deficit.
Then replenish the bird’s nest and fish maw that were previously supplied daily.
She became more generous and did not make things difficult for Su Rutang.
And let her be a housekeeper.
Song Huaiyan smiled and said, "Second Madam. It's not that I want to take away your housekeeper power. It's just that the old lady feels sorry for you because you are weak and sick."
Su Rutang smiled, "It's okay. I really can't keep up. I'll have to trouble Aunt Song in the future."
Song Huaiyan thought Su Rutang would be angry and make a fuss.
Seeing that she was calm, her voice became slightly higher.
"Aren't you angry?"
Su Rutang supported his chin with one hand and smiled: "Why should I be angry?"
She then told Chunxi to reconcile the accounts with Song Huaiyan. Zhou Qiongyu had already brought the account book over.
Song Huaiyan took the account book and took a quick look at it.
Eyes are round.
"Oh my God. The mansion is running out of money. With such little income, we should have been starving long ago."
Chunxi rolled his eyes. "It was only with the money our Second Madam put into the house as a dowry that we were able to maintain the mansion's prosperity. Now we still owe our Second Madam money."
Old Madam Zhou was stunned. This damn girl really deserved a slap in the face.
"It's just a temporary emergency and will be returned to the Su family at the end of the year. Our Zhou family is rich and powerful, so how can there be a famine?"
Song Huaiyan thought about it and realized that as long as she had money to spend, she would naturally think of ways to make money. She had so many shops in her mind that she didn't have any now.
The thought of this aroused her fighting spirit.
"Don't worry. I have a lot of poetry in my head, and I also have a lot of ways to make money. I'm not better than others, but I'm still much better than you women in the backyard who know nothing."
Su Rutang smiled:
"I'll trouble Aunt Song from now on."
"Of course." Old Madam Zhou was unhappy. It was not what she thought.
She didn't really want Song Huaiyan to be the housekeeper, she just wanted to force Su Rutang to admit his mistake and beg for mercy.
now……
She suddenly felt a tightness in her chest and coughed out mouthfuls of the medicine she had taken earlier.
The towel was soaked.
Suying was terrified.
"The old lady vomited all the medicine she took early in the morning."
"Go and call the doctor quickly." Zhou Chengru stood up and ordered the servants.
Madam Zhou raised her hand and said, "Call Doctor Shen from Baohe Hall."
Everyone's eyes fell on Su Rutang, and they all knew that Su Rutang had a good relationship with Doctor Shen.
“Su, go and ask Doctor Shen to come over.”
Su Rutang looked innocent, "Doctor Shen was called by the Jinyiwei to treat the victims. I dare not snatch him from the Jinyiwei."
Zhou Chengru: “…”
He used to dislike Su Rutang's identity as a second-married daughter, but he also felt that she had a pure mind, was kind and had character.
But recently she has been making excuses one after another, which is really selfish.
It took him a long time to utter a word: "Su Rutang. What do you want to do? Can you consider the health of your elderly grandmother?"
Su Rutang's eyes remained calm.
"It's because of my concern for the old lady's health that I suggest you seek help from another doctor." She held the teacup and gently lifted the lid. "It's unknown whether the victims have caught a cold or something else."
"How many people are there in the mansion? Do you dare?"
Su Rutang stared at Zhou Chengru with a sharp gaze, and his sullen face instantly turned pale.
"I advise you to pay back the deficit as soon as possible. If it's too late, I'm afraid the emperor's wrath will be something our Zhou family cannot bear."
Su Rutang stood up.
"I have to take Qiong Yu to Prince Cheng's Mansion later, so I won't stay here to delay my husband from raising money."
She smiled faintly and turned away.
The wife of the second room had an idea.
I hurriedly followed him out.
"Su Rutang."
Su Rutang paused and stopped.
Mrs. Hou from the second house came over with a big smile on her face, "Rutang, Second Aunt wants to ask you a favor. Is it convenient for you?"
She coughed lightly.
"whats the matter?"
"Aren't you taking Sister Yu to Prince Cheng's Mansion? Your eldest brother's daughter Sister Feng is already 15 years old. Can you see if you can take her there as well?" Hou knew that she couldn't always rely on the first house.
He also had plans for the second wife, wanting Feng Jieer to marry into a good family.
Su Rutang thought for a moment, "Second Aunt, I'm afraid Sister Feng won't be able to marry the legitimate son. You also know that the families who come and go in Prince Cheng's mansion are rich and noble, and the legitimate son's wife must be of equal status."
"It doesn't matter. A concubine is fine, or a concubine is fine."
Hearing Hou's words, Su Rutang couldn't help but lament that women always become bargaining chips for the family.
"I try my best."
The Feng Jieer in her memory is just a transparent person.
In her previous life, she was sent to a second-rank official as a concubine, but her mistress was a jealous person who couldn't tolerate a concubine.
He died within two months.
The Zhou family did not dare to ask for an explanation. When they saw the mistress sent some silver, they tacitly accepted that Feng Jieer was seriously ill.
If Zhou Qiongyu is lucky, Su Rutang will be happy to help her find a reliable husband.
I would rather marry a bastard than be a concubine.
……
Return to Chuitang Courtyard.
Su Rutang dressed up and came out.
Zhou Qiongyu has arrived, wearing a red skirt embroidered with hibiscus flowers.
Su Rutang only glanced at her calmly and said, "Go back and change into something light and elegant. Qiu Ling, go and help Sister Yu dress up."
