My elder sister stole my marriage? She regretted and cried after I married the general.
Chapter 15: Finding Medicine, Taking Over Power
Ye Qinghuan walked disappointedly on Chang'an Street for a long time before he calmed down.
Since no one in Shengjing can detoxify, she will issue a bounty order in the martial arts world!
As the saying goes: There is always a brave man under a large sum of money, and there must be someone who will detoxify her for money.
But, she cannot post it under her own name.
"Chunyan, take 1,000 taels of silver to Heletang and ask the shopkeeper He to offer a reward for the antidote to the Heart-Eating Heart. If you succeed, I will reward you handsomely. Remember, let him act in secret and don't involve me."
"The servant girl obeys!"
According to the memory of the previous life, the ancestors of Heletang, which has been passed down for a hundred years, have been involved in the underworld and have some connections in the underworld. However, it is about to go bankrupt now.
Shopkeeper Xiaohe is in urgent need of money now and will definitely help her find the antidote.
When they returned to the General's Mansion, Madam Shen's confidant, Nanny Qin, came to greet them: "Madam, the old lady wants to see you."
"Oh? Ma'am, do you know what's the matter with mother?" Ye Qinghuan asked.
Nanny Wang smiled respectfully and said, "Of course it's a good thing."
"Please lead the way, Mammy."
"Madam please!"
Along the way, the servants saw Ye Qinghuan with fear in their eyes and were extremely respectful.
Ye Qinghuan understood in her heart that the case of Manager Liu brought to the fore all the dirty deeds in the General's Mansion that could not be exposed to the public, which was also equivalent to establishing her authority.
When they arrived at Fushou Hall, they saw that Madam Shen had a serious expression on her face, and Su Jinxiu was kneeling on the ground with red eyes, obviously having cried.
"Daughter-in-law greets mother." Ye Qinghuan bowed.
Madam Shen forced a smile and said kindly, "Qinghuan is back, sit down."
"Thank you mother!"
"Qinghuan, I've heard about everything that happened in the mansion. Jinxiu didn't manage her subordinates well, and someone took advantage of the opportunity to harm the general's mansion. From now on, you will be the one in charge."
"Mother, no." Ye Qinghuan refused immediately.
Old Madam Shen was surprised and a little angry: "You said before that you just came in and were not familiar with the affairs of the mansion. Now you have been here for a few days, and you are very capable of today's matter, why are you still refusing?"
"Mother, Sister Su has been the housekeeper for many years. Even if she has no merits, she has worked hard. How can you deny all her hard work just because of the servants' personal affairs? Today's incident has the effect of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, but it is not appropriate to make a big fuss. According to my son and daughter-in-law, let Sister Su manage the household as usual so as not to damage the dignity of the general's mansion."
After Ye Qinghuan said this, Su Jinxiu was about to cry again.
Being a concubine's housekeeper is not easy. Today, when the affair between Liu Guanshi and Wang Ma was exposed, more than ten servants resigned, which shows how lax she is in managing her subordinates.
Old Madam Shen had just scolded her, and even the Shen Yun couple, who had no status, had bullied her, saying that if you don't have the skills, don't take on porcelain work, and return the housekeeping power to the mistress as soon as possible.
No one remembers her hard work, and no one understands her difficulties.
Only the lady not only understood her, but also excused her!
"Mother, as long as our family is well, it doesn't matter who is the housekeeper. I don't care about that." Ye Qinghuan slowed down his tone and tried to push the housekeeper power away.
The housekeeper is just an annoying sandwich.
Not only does he have to compete with the servants in wits and courage, but he also has to serve his superiors (Old Madam Shen and Shen Lin) and his colleagues (half-brothers, half-sisters-in-law, concubines, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters from the second and third rooms) well.
Just thinking about it gives me a headache!
In her previous life, in order to manage the Marquis' Mansion, she had no idea how much mental pain she had endured and how much blood and tears she had swallowed. Her hair turned gray before she was even thirty.
In this life, she just wants to live a good life!
Old Madam Shen looked at Ye Qinghuan suspiciously.
A newly married woman who cannot keep her husband's heart or retain his wife is of no use.
Su Jinxiu was not only her niece, but also the one she had chosen and trained. No matter what happened, Su Jinxiu would always be on her side.
So, she didn't want to give up power from the beginning.
When the bride offered tea, she was just pretending to test the water.
But Ye Qinghuan's repeated rejections of the housekeeper made her feel uneasy.
What exactly does Ye Qinghuan want to do?
"Mother, what do you think?"
Ye Qinghuan's attitude was respectful, dignified and generous, and it was really hard to find fault with him.
Madam Shen's anger gradually subsided, and she said thoughtfully, "Since you said so, I'll do as you say. However, you should also learn to be a housekeeper. Jinxiu, give the key to the storehouse to Madam. In the future, you should consult Madam on matters concerning the accounts."
"Yes."
Su Jinxiu quickly took out the warehouse key and presented it to Ye Qinghuan.
Ye Qinghuan frowned: I don’t want it!
But after saying this, Madam Shen went to rest, not giving her any chance to refuse.
"Madam, please accept it!" Su Jinxiu knelt down and begged, choking with sobs.
"All right!"
Ye Qinghuan had no choice but to accept the key to the storeroom, and personally helped Su Jinxiu up: "I know you have had a lot of difficulties, and I will continue to manage the household as I should in the future."
"Thank you ma'am..."
Su Jinxiu was already crying so hard that she couldn't speak. Ye Qinghuan comforted her for a few more words before returning to Jinfeng Courtyard.
Chunlan was very happy and Baba came to help with the massage: "Madam, you are finally in charge of the family."
"What do you know?" Ye Qinghuan rolled her eyes at her. "Every wealthy family has its share of omissions. Even if you see something clearly, you have to pretend to be ignorant."
"But you can't let the concubine be in charge of the family all the time. You are the mistress of the house." Chunlan stuck out her tongue and muttered softly.
After resting for a while, Su Jinxiu brought the housekeeper and other managers to Jinfengyuan to pay a visit and hand over the account books.
Ye Qinghuan had no choice but to cheer up and handle the affairs.
After flipping through the account book, Ye Qinghuan was very surprised: the cash on the account of the General's Mansion was as high as ten thousand taels, and there were also three hundred acres of fertile land, more than twenty shops, and seven or eight farms!
Much richer than she had imagined!
"Madam, although our general's mansion cannot compare with the noble families or marquis' houses, it is also not bad." Su Jinxiu pursed her lips and smiled softly, with pride in her eyes and eyebrows.
Ye Qinghuan only left the account book and returned the land deeds to Su Jinxiu: "I dare not take these, you return them to the old lady."
"Yes." Su Jinxiu was not surprised at all, and put the land deeds back into the brocade box. "The old lady also said that if your elder sister causes trouble again, just tell her! The mistress of the general's mansion will not be bullied by a concubine from a marquis' mansion."
"I will handle the matter with my eldest sister and will never implicate the General's Mansion." Ye Qinghuan understood that this was both Madam Shen giving her confidence and warning her.
After all, what happened today was caused by her.
Ye Qinghuan felt even more headache.
Ye Qinglan needs to be taught a lesson.
