Quick Wear: Crazy Female Supporting Role She is Bai Yueguang

Lu Shuang'er felt uncomfortable when she heard this. She had always been domineering in the Marquis' Mansion, and this time she was even more rude.

"You old hag, what nonsense are you talking about? You're actually trying to provoke the friendship between me and my sister-in-law. Are you harboring evil intentions?"

As she spoke, Lu Shuang'er raised her hand to slap Madam Zhao.

Shi Qing protected Madam Zhao behind him, held Lu Shuang'er's hand, and said coldly.

"Good Shuang'er, Madam Zhao is my mother's wet nurse. If she has done nothing wrong, not just anyone can beat her."

Lu Shuang'er became anxious. She looked at Shi Qing angrily, feeling very aggrieved.

"Sister-in-law, am I your sister or not? How can you protect a servant?"

"You are the wife of the Marquis, so you allow the maid to speak of the master like this?"

Hsieh Su-wei is afraid that the world will not be in chaos, and it would be best if Shi Qing lost the support of the people.

Shi Qing sneered, "I wonder what position Miss Xie holds to interfere in the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion? Even if you are the Marquis's savior, outsiders are not qualified to interfere in the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion!"

Hsieh Su-wei was so angry at what she said that her eyes turned red and her face was embarrassed.

"I was just worried that the Second Miss might have a quarrel with you. It seems I have said too much."

Shi Qing said without mercy, "It's good that you know."

Damn Shi Qing, how dare he talk to her like that? She thought to herself that one day, she would repay today's shame tenfold.

She is a woman of the new era, and Shi Qing thinks that stupid woman is not even worthy of carrying her shoes!

I remember hearing someone say that the assassins in the black market in Beijing are the most powerful, but they require a lot of money...

Shi Qing, oh Shi Qing, no wonder I am so cruel, it’s all my own fault.

"Shuang'er, stop messing around."

Hearing her elder brother's words, Lu Shuang'er reluctantly withdrew her hand.

Nanny Zhao no longer had any scruples at this moment and spoke in a cold voice.

"It would also be helpful to let the Marquis and the old lady know that if it weren't for our wife's monthly subsidy of nearly four thousand taels of silver, how could the Marquisate be maintained? But there's no point in always asking the daughter-in-law to use her dowry to subsidize the family, isn't that right, Marquis?"

Shi Qing waited until Nanny Zhao finished speaking before pretending to stop her.

"Mammy, I've always known the difficulties of the Marquis' Mansion. My husband narrowly escaped death before returning home. I think it was God's blessing. I shouldn't let him worry about trivial matters."

Nanny Zhao's words made the Lu family members present feel ashamed.

Lu Wenbai felt ashamed. He knew exactly where he had been for the past six years.

For the sake of his own reputation, he definitely could not use Shi Qing's dowry as a subsidy.

He casually flipped through the account book, which recorded the silver subsidies given by Shi Qing over the past six years. The amount was not small, nearly 100,000 taels.

Among them, the old lady and her sister spent money lavishly on jewelry, totaling nearly 20,000 taels of silver.

Lu Wenbai's face was not very good. Even if all the shops of the Lu family were added together, the maximum value would only be close to 20,000 silver coins. For an ordinary family, one or two taels of silver could last for a long time.

Shuang'er, you've really been spoiled.

"What Madam Zhao said makes sense. Madam has been managing the Shi family for many years, so it's naturally unreasonable for her to continue paying for the dowry."

Lu Wenbai is very concerned about his reputation. He will still serve as an official in the court in the future and does not want to be criticized.

"As for the subsidy from Madam, I will have someone make up for it within three months at most."

Shi Qing nodded slightly, "Thank you for your understanding, my husband."

This silver was the original owner's dowry, so of course I have to take it.

Shi Qing continued slowly, "I've been feeling unwell lately. Mother, the housekeeping power is no longer convenient for me. Please take it back!"

The old lady's eyelids twitched slightly. Shi Qing, who usually seemed easy to control, now made the old lady a little confused about her personality.

Lu Shuang'er said unhappily, "Sister-in-law, we are originally a family, why do we have to divide it so clearly?"

The old lady didn't want to clean up the mess and just wanted to be a hands-off boss.

"Qingqing, you have been the housekeeper for the past few years. Mother is old now, so you should take charge."

Shi Qing glanced at Hsieh Su-wei, who was sitting next to him, saying nothing and trying to reduce her presence, and said in a cold voice.

"Of course you can let me be the housekeeper, but it's not appropriate for Miss Xie to stay in the Lu family. Would you like to send Miss Xie away?"

Xie Shuwei looked at Lu Wenbo nervously. She didn't want to leave the Marquis' Mansion. How could she be willing to give up the wealth and glory that was so easily within her reach?

When talking about Hsieh Su-wei, Lu Wenbo became emotional.

"You are the mistress of the Lu family. How can you be so narrow-minded that you can't even tolerate my savior? The friendship between you and me shouldn't allow you to treat Miss Xie as your own sister?"

The old lady also advised Shi Qing not to take it to heart, but no one in the room spoke up for Shi Qing.

Hsieh Su-wei was very proud, and the frustration in her heart disappeared all of a sudden. Shi Qing was not liked by the Lu family, he was such a pitiful person.

"In that case, all future affairs of the Marquis' Mansion will be handled by mother. My daughter-in-law is feeling unwell, so I'll take my leave now."

After saying this, Shi Qing bowed and left.

Looking at Shi Qing's leaving back, Hsieh Su-wei had a smile on her face and her eyes seemed to be filled with pity.

"What a pitiful woman! She is not liked by her mother-in-law, nor does she win the heart of her husband..."

The old lady and Lu Wenbai looked at each other, as if they had not expected Shi Qing to be a hands-off boss.

Hsieh Su-wei looked at Lu Wenbo with burning eyes, without saying a word.

The old lady felt that some things were not suitable for Hsieh Su-wei to know, so she said in a deep voice.

"Shuang'er, take Miss Xie out for a stroll in the garden. I have something I want to discuss with your eldest brother."

Lu Shuang'er seemed to see the dilemma in her mother's heart, so she nodded.

"Yes, mother."

After Lu Shuang'er and Xie Shuwei left, the old lady pursed her lips and remained silent for a long time. She picked up the account book and placed it in front of Lu Wenbo, then sighed deeply.

"Bai'er, mother doesn't want to hide it from you. For the past six years, many businesses of the Marquisate have been in the red. It was Qingqing who single-handedly turned the tide, saving the Marquisate from financial hardship and loss of dignity."

Lu Wenbai felt a little powerless and even ashamed. He was known for his outstanding talent when he was young, but now he has fallen to this point.

"Don't worry, mother. My son is now working for the eldest prince. Our mansion will eventually be able to turn things around."

The emperor has not yet appointed a crown prince, and the second prince has been poisoned by a cold and will not live long.

Emperor Shangwu doted on the eldest prince very much, so the prince who would eventually sit on the throne of the Eastern Palace would most likely be the eldest prince.

The old lady sighed, "If that's the case, our Marquis' Mansion will surely be admired by the people of the capital. If you are successful, your father will surely be successful in his grave."

The mother and son chatted for a while and gradually suppressed the uneasiness in their hearts.

Under the old lady's persuasion, Lu Wenbai still went to Qiwuyuan that night.

Songbai Zhangdeng poured Shi Qing a cup of hot tea and said with concern in his heart.

"Madam, if you hand over the housekeeping power to the old lady, won't it be difficult for us to move forward in the Marquis' Mansion in the future?"

Shi Qing smiled mysteriously, "Songzhi, we won't stay in the Marquis' Mansion for too long, don't worry."
