"Rebellious girl, how dare she do that."

Shen Qianjiao also looked anxious.

"Master, what should I do? She hit Mingzhu whenever she wanted. The slap just now made her face swollen. Now she has taken her away. I don't know how to torture her later."

It's true that Shen Qianjiao feels sorry for Mu Mingzhu, but she doesn't want to give up her power as housekeeper even more.

Over the years, the Mu Mansion's backyard has been in her control. The income from Shen Nianci's dowry alone is a huge sum of money. Shen Qianjiao is good at making money and can make profits from profits.

How could she be willing to see that everything fell into Mu Yunyao's hands?

If the master could be so cruel, that little bitch only has a girl who knows kung fu by her side, and it has not been seen whether the little bitch has any backers in these days. Wouldn't it be very easy for such a person to make her disappear quietly?

Although the old lady of the Rongguo Mansion had some true feelings for her, she was old after all, and the Rong family would eventually be handed over to the younger generation.

He just didn't believe that someone as smart as Rong Jing would go against her master for an outsider.

Seeing that Mu Jinnian remained unmoved, Shen Qianjiao had to speak out to guide him again.

"Master, Yun Yao is your child after all. If word gets out that she disobeys you like this, no good family would want her.

It might also affect the master's reputation in the court. Even though the master feels sorry for her for having been away from home for more than ten years and feels guilty about it, he still has to teach her the rules that should be taught."

Shen Qianjiao almost directly asked Mu Jinnian to punish Mu Yunyao, and how could Mu Jinnian not hear it.

But this time Shen Qianjiao was wrong. Mu Jinnian did not listen to her instigation, but warned her instead.

"Put away your little thoughts and stop targeting that girl."

He didn't believe that Mu Yunyao had someone behind her, but in Xiao Qianmo's eyes, this matter was clear, which meant that it had been reported to the emperor.

Although the emperor does not care about the family affairs of his subjects, there was the matter of Jun Sheng first and the matter of Mingzhu later. If he touched Mu Yunyao at this time, how would the emperor look at him?

How can the Left Prime Minister, who cannot even keep his own house in order while the harem is in turmoil, be entrusted with important tasks?

Compared with the struggle for the housekeeper's power in the rear house, Mu Jinnian naturally values ​​his own future more.

What's more, he didn't believe that Mu Yunyao could learn to be a housekeeper all of a sudden after living in the countryside for more than ten years.

When she takes over the prime minister's mansion and finds that it is not as easy to manage as she thought, she will hand it over on her own initiative.

"You have been in charge of this mansion for so many years. Don't you know whether it is easy to be the head of the household? What can a little girl like her do? You should help her more and don't cause any trouble."

The words that seemed to be a warning to Shen Qianjiao were actually full of mysteries, suggesting that she should first give the housekeeper power to Mu Yunyao, and then create more trouble for her so that she would give up.

Shen Qianjiao immediately understood what he meant, and all the worry on her face disappeared.

Only then did she start to worry about Mu Mingzhu coming.

"What about the pearl?"

Mu Jinnian became a little angry when he thought of Mu Mingzhu.

He said with a sullen face, "She can't even handle such a small matter. It's only right that she should be taught a lesson. Tomorrow you can deliver the things to that girl and then bring her back."

Mu Junsheng, who had not said anything, also spoke at this time.

"Father, Li'er is pregnant with my child. We cannot let Mu Yunyao torture her."

It would have been better if he hadn't said this, but once he said it, Mu Jinnian became even more angry.

No matter how you look at your son, he is such an excellent son, but now you can't wait to give him a beating.

"What on earth is that? Can a thing like that make you so concerned?"

He was engaged to the eldest daughter of the Grand Tutor's family, yet he dared to bring a thing from outside back home. Now he's pregnant with a bastard's child. How could Mu Jinnian not be angry?

When Mu Junsheng saw his father getting angry, his face changed, but when he thought of the scene that Chu Li'er had described to him, he finally mustered up the courage.

"Father, Li'er is different. She is..."

As he spoke, he glanced around, and his meaning was very clear.

Mu Jinnian knew his son well enough, so he waved his hand and asked all the servants in the hall to leave. Even Shen Qianjiao was not allowed to stay. Then Mu Junsheng spoke.

"Father, Li'er is not an ordinary person. She is the only one who can cure my illness, and her identity is not ordinary."

Even though there were only father and son in the hall, Mu Junsheng still did not let his guard down. When Mu Jinnian leaned over, he whispered in his ear.

Mu Jinnian's expression became very strange, and finally he looked at Mu Junsheng with an expression of anger and relief.

"Although your approach is risky, it is also a good idea. It's just that your sister is a little disappointing."

Thinking of the trouble Mu Mingzhu had caused, Mu Jinnian's face turned ugly again.

If Mu Mingzhu could work harder, Jun Sheng's method could be considered a double insurance.

But now, we can only think of other ways.

However, Yun Yao had indeed underestimated her. It might not be so easy to get the person from her, and it would cost some money.

Mu Yunyao was confident that Mu Jinnian would not fall out with her for the time being, so after bringing Chu Lier and Mu Mingzhu back, she threw them into a room and left them alone.

The maids in the yard saw that Chuntao never came back after going out with them, and they all had different ideas, but no one dared to ask.

Someone did find Qingyun to ask.

"Sister Qingyun, I heard that our eldest daughter has taken over the housekeeper's power. Is this true?"

Qingyun glanced at the little girl with a round face in front of her.

"Why? The eldest lady is in charge and you have an opinion about it."

"I dare not, I dare not. I just feel that if the eldest lady becomes the head of the family, the status of people in our courtyard will rise accordingly, and I will be able to hear people call me Sister Xiaoyuan in the future."

The little girl is not very old and has a cute round face.

On weekdays I do some cleaning chores in the yard, and occasionally help run errands.

When Qingyun is too busy to handle everything by herself, she will ask the maids in the yard to help, and Xiaoyuan is one of them.

This girl is a bit honest and sometimes speaks without thinking, which can easily offend people, but she has a warm heart and if anyone gives her a task, she will always agree to it with a smile.

She also often says that suffering a loss is a blessing. She is not as smart as Chuntao before, but Qingyun has watched her for so long and finds her pretty good.

Now hearing what the girl said, Qingyun smiled and tapped her head.

"Keep a low profile. The young lady is new to the household and can't take care of you. If you are too arrogant and get punished, the young lady won't have time to stand up for you."

After knocking for a while, Qingyun returned to the house.

Seeing Mu Yunyao staring at a white stone-like object in her hand, he couldn't help but ask.

"The master has played with whatever good stuff he got for a long time and is reluctant to let it go."

Mu Yunyao glanced at her hands and said with a wry smile, "It is indeed a good thing, but if used in the wrong place it can be fatal."
