Surprise!!! The Regent Princess is actually a hidden boss

Chu Qianyu frowned slightly, her face pale, as if she had not recovered from the shock just now. Her lips were still trembling, her eyes were slightly red, and there seemed to be tears on her long eyelashes. She looked at the old lady with some grievance and said, "Grandma, are you doubting me? You know your grandson. I usually don't dare to step on an ant to death, how could I hurt Grandma Wang? Besides, how could I do that?"

After saying this, she picked up a handkerchief and wiped the tears from her eyes.

After hearing this, the old lady said with a somewhat impatient expression: "Stop crying. You are just like your sickly mother all day long. You only know how to cry. It's so depressing."

"Grandma, don't forget that my eldest sister has bought so many maids and servants. Butler Zhao said today that they are all good at martial arts. Maybe it was my eldest sister who ordered it." Chu Xiaozhu looked at Chu Qianyu with a gloating look.

"Yeah, I think the second girl is smart. She figured out the key so quickly." Li Jing responded from the side.

"Second aunt, second sister, how can you slander me like this? Speak with evidence, how can you just say whatever you want?" After saying this, he looked at the old lady and continued, "Grandmother, you have always been the most fair. You will definitely not be like them and conclude that it was your grandson who did it without any evidence."

As soon as these words were spoken, the old lady was immediately blocked from asking the question she was about to ask.

It took him a long while to come to his senses and said, "When did I ever doubt you? Wait until Nanny Wang wakes up and ask her about it. Don't make random guesses now."

After saying this, she suddenly remembered why she was called here today. After this delay, she almost forgot about the important matter.

Then he looked at her sternly and said, "Do you know why I called you here today?"

Chu Qianyu stood up and walked to the middle of the hall and said, "Grandma, I know. But please listen to me. You also know that Madam Man and I went to the temple, and Madam Man died. So I think it would be safer if we had maids and servants who knew martial arts by our side."

"And in the future, whether you go out to attend banquets or pray for blessings, your safety will be guaranteed. It will not happen again to Madam Man. So my grandson went to the pawnshop and brought back these maids and servants who are good at martial arts."

"And I've prepared some for grandma. My second sister has some too. What do you think? If you think your grandson has wasted money today, you can send these people back now. Your grandson will never say no."

After hearing these words, Chu Xiaozhu and the old lady were stunned. Is this still the Chu Qianyu who couldn't say a few words before and just hid and cried?

Li Jing on the side said in a somewhat ambiguous tone: "Oh! So the eldest lady is quite thoughtful. But have you forgotten about your second aunt? I was accompanying Madam Man and you to the temple at that time. I am a little sad that you behaved like this."

"The main reason is that the accounts in the mansion were previously managed by Madam Man. I heard that the accounts of the first and second houses are separate. So this is... I hope Second Aunt can forgive me. If you want maids and servants to compete in martial arts, you can go to Mingyuexing. A group of them just happened to come there. There should be some more now." Chu Qianyu said with some difficulty and embarrassment.

But Li Jing was usually willful and would never listen to such words.

So he stood up and pointed at her and said, "Don't say those nice things. You just don't want to buy me a maid. And there are four more standing outside? One for your mother, two for the old lady, and one for the second young lady. There are still..."

Chu Qianyu almost couldn't help laughing when she heard this.

Li Jing also realized that what she said seemed to be wrong. She shook her head and thought for a while, then continued, "I heard from Butler Zhao that you bought six maids. But why are there only five now? There is another one?"

"There must be some left. I don't care, you must give me one today."

Chu Xiaozhu was a little unhappy when she heard this. It was obvious that the second aunt wanted to take advantage of the eldest wife. But she couldn't speak up in this situation. So she looked at the old lady and waited for her to speak.

Sure enough, the old lady looked at Chu Qianyu and said, "Your second aunt is right. Didn't you buy six? How did you distribute them?"

Chu Qianyu did not directly answer the old lady's question, but looked at Li Jing and asked directly: "Second Aunt, don't you know that the two maids beside me were killed in the temple?"

"This..." Li Jing choked up suddenly.

Without waiting for her to continue, Chu Qianyu looked at the old lady and said, "Grandma, my grandson's two maids were killed for no reason in the temple, and after returning yesterday, we found out that the two personal maids in my mother's room poisoned and murdered my mother. So for a while, my grandson and my mother were left without personal maids."

"That's why we divided the four maids into two for my grandson and two for my mother. Because my grandmother and my second sister have elderly people to serve them, I think one maid who knows martial arts will do. Do you think my distribution is inappropriate?"

"Besides, there are servants who are also good at martial arts. I think since I have two servants who are good at martial arts, I and my mother only need one servant. Of the remaining six, two can be left for grandmother, one for the second sister, one for the fourth sister, and the remaining two for the second brother. What do you think of this distribution?"

The old lady felt her brain turned into a mess after hearing what she said. She was confused. Without thinking, she nodded and said, "You are very thoughtful. You have taken Tao'er and Rou'er into consideration."

Li Jing was furious when she heard this. She stood up anxiously and stamped her feet, saying, "Mother! What about me and my two children? What if they are in danger? This trip to the temple was extremely dangerous. If it weren't for my good luck, I might be in the same situation as Madam Man now."

"Pah, pah, pah! What nonsense are you talking about! If you want to buy them yourself, just go buy them. Besides, the second son doesn't hold any official position. How many wealthy families or nobles would invite you to banquets on weekdays? Your worry is completely unnecessary. If you are really worried, just go to Mingyuexing and buy some."

"Why are you making a fuss here?" the old lady said angrily.

Li Jing and Chu Xiaozhu didn't expect that they were here to see how the old lady would punish Chu Qianyu. But they didn't expect that they didn't get to watch the show. It seemed that the old lady was now speaking in her favor.

This was not a good thing. In addition, his mother was gone now. If they were allowed to gain power, there would be no chance for them and their siblings to survive in the mansion.

So he quickly helped Li Jing and said, "Grandma, Second Aunt also didn't expect that the eldest sister would be so clear. That's why she was angry for a while. And I think the eldest sister is a little strange today. Why is she different from the past? Is it really as those servants said? Now that my mother has lost the eldest sister and the lady, she is now arrogant?"

After saying that, he began to cry, stood up, walked to the old lady, shook her arm and said, "Grandma, my mother is gone. From now on, I will only have you. Woo woo woo~"

Seeing this, the old lady stroked her head with some distress and coaxed her, "Xiaozhu, what are you talking about? Don't you still have a father? He loves you the most. Don't cry, dear."
