After the rebirth of the wronged soft girl, the devil's crematorium
Chapter 17 Training
Mingxiangxuan has two floors. The upper floors are all private rooms, reserved for the children of wealthy families. Looking out from the windows of these rooms, one can see the bustling streets and admire the vibrant flowers in full bloom.
Su Wan came to the backyard and saw several elderly people in their sixties standing there. One of them was holding a bowl of medicinal soup. "Young Madam."
Su Wan had some impression that these were brought here by her mother Liu from her natal family. She had been loyal to Manager Liu here for most of her life.
"No need to be so polite." Su Wan looked at the medicine bowl and knew that the steward was seriously injured. "I want to see Steward Liu."
Su Wan followed him into the side room. Inside the dim, narrow room stood a small table, likely used for tea and entertaining guests. Looking across, she saw a desk with a pile of account books on it. Su Wan looked back and saw Manager Liu sprawled on a rather crude couch, occasionally groaning.
"Manager Liu, the young lady is here."
"What? Ouch." Manager Liu heard this and turned around to find the young lady looking at him. He covered his wound and gasped in pain.
"Don't move!" Su Wan stepped forward to stop him from saluting. "It's already this late and you're still worried about this."
"Madam, you shouldn't come here. Go to the side hall quickly and don't dirty the young lady." Manager Liu was a little embarrassed. How could a young lady come to such a place?
"I heard that Uncle Liu was seriously injured, so I was worried." Su Wan stood there and saw the bright red bloodstains on Manager Liu's inner clothes. She couldn't help feeling guilty. The manager was already in his sixties, how could he endure such a beating.
Seeing Su Wan's red eyes, Manager Liu suddenly recalled Lady Liu. Lady Liu was just like her, gentle and kind, treating her servants like family. This was why, despite signing a contract to live, they wouldn't leave despite Qin's constant pressure. They were committed to Lady Liu for the rest of their lives. They'd thought that was it, but unexpectedly, the Young Madam had given them hope.
"I'm sorry to have made the young lady worry. Don't worry, I still have to see your wife accomplish what she has in mind. How can I fall down so easily?" He knew that Su Wan was in need of people right now, and even if he died, he had to leave someone trustworthy to Su Wan.
Su Wan felt uncomfortable. When she thought of Liu Shang and Manager Liu, she felt that she was too useless.
"Don't worry, we will settle this account sooner or later!"
"I trust you, Madam." Steward Liu gave Su Wan a gratified smile. "And the Su family sent a message to me, saying that the people who went out to look for Mr. Su have returned."
Su Wan nodded in understanding.
"What are you looking at?"
On the upper floor of Fengming Tower, a man in a red brocade robe and a golden crown tied up his hair was lying behind Xie Yin, sizing up the two women below. "Look at this figure, she's a wonderful person."
Xie Yin slapped the man in the face and pushed him back. Looking at the slender figure beside Liuyan, Xie Yin curled his thin lips slightly, and was very brave.
"Are you sure the steward is in there?"
"Yes." Cang Yi said from the side: "After being beaten, the man entered through the back door. I followed those people and found out that they were actually from the Duke's Mansion."
Xie Yin's eyes flashed, "Young Madam is right, the Duke's Mansion has indeed been very busy in recent days."
"What are you doing? Yunniang is here!"
"Ahem!" Cang Yi secretly looked at Xie Yin and then coughed lightly. Xie Yin glanced at Cang Yi impatiently, "Go do what you should do!"
Cang Yi: If I had known not to laugh at him, I would not be able to listen to this song.
Su Wan didn't know that Xie Yin was targeting her. When she returned to Tingyuxuan and heard that Qin wanted to transfer some servants to her, Su Wan asked someone to refuse.
The next day, Su Wan went to pay her respects early.
"Oh, it's been a long time since I saw you, sister." Qin smiled contemptuously when she saw Su Wan coming in.
"Mother-in-law." Su Wan bowed to Wen, called her "Sister-in-law" and sat down.
Wen Shi didn't even look up, she just said, "Are you well now?"
"I'm all right now, thanks to my wife and mother." She offered Wen a taste of the new tea from her shop. Wen took it from the nanny and sniffed it, finding it quite pleasant. "You've really started to look like a wife these days." Wen was still pleased. At least compared to before, Su Wan was more capable. But when had her bottom line been so low?
Su Wan smiled, "My mother-in-law taught me well. I also want to gain experience so that I can contribute to my husband and the family in the future."
Wen smiled but said nothing when she heard this, but Qin felt something was wrong. Was this going to lead to a fight?
"Your sister-in-law is very capable, but her temper is also very bad. I heard that everyone in our mansion was driven out by you." Qin looked at her quietly and continued, "Do you know that this transfer almost caused chaos in our mansion?"
Su Wan's face was embarrassed. "Wan'er saw that some people were getting something for nothing, which was really damaging to the reputation of the Duke's Mansion. So she wanted to teach them a lesson. Of course, we can't let them sit idle."
Seeing that Wen Shi was not angry, Qin Shi changed the subject, "Sister-in-law, you work so hard that I, as your sister-in-law, feel ashamed. It's just that I feel sorry for you and want to add more people to your family. I originally discussed it with mother-in-law, but I didn't expect you to refuse. Why don't you appreciate mother-in-law's kindness? What are you afraid of?"
Are you afraid that they will plant spies?
As soon as these words were spoken, Wen also looked at Su Wan.
"Auntie, you misunderstood. I just felt that Tingyuxuan didn't have many important events on weekdays, so we didn't need so many people. Besides, they didn't like that place, so I told my mother-in-law that there was no need to bring in more people. I didn't expect Auntie to take it so seriously."
"In any case, it's your sister-in-law's good intention. Besides, it would be a joke if a young lady didn't have a few decent maids in her yard. I heard that you even went to the pawnshop to have a look, and now you are acting on your own." Although Wen Shi didn't like Su Wan's weakness, she didn't want her to be too self-willed.
"We did select a few people. My daughter-in-law looks very good, and the shop is short of people." Su Wan responded in a low voice.
"Then let your sister-in-law train them, and give them to you when she feels they are useful." It's time to take the opportunity to replace some of the old people in the Duke's Mansion. By then, find a reason to arrange these people to the mansion. In short, Su Wan cannot have her own people.
"Speaking of servants, I think they really need to be disciplined. There shouldn't be any more people who talk nonsense about the master and disrespect the elders. Our Duke's Mansion can't afford such servants!" Qin smiled sinisterly, and her tone suddenly became cold and stern. It was obvious that she wanted to kill Liu Shang.
Wen thought of what happened that day. She had promised Erlang not to blame Su Wan, but how could she let the servant go?
"Where is Liu Shang? Find this little bitch to me. Since you don't know how to discipline her, I will teach you today."
Su Wan stood up suddenly, "Mother-in-law, I have already punished her. Please don't be angry if you are not feeling well."
"My mother-in-law is not feeling well, but I am still here."
Su Wan frowned, and when she lowered her head, anger was evident in her eyes.
"Madame Liu, go and invite that bitch over yourself! If she doesn't obey, just buy her off!"
"Yes!"
"Wait!" Su Wan walked to the middle and tried to stop it.
"Madam, something bad has happened!" At this time, a servant came to report, "The doorman reported that some people are gathering at our back door to make trouble, saying that we cheated them."
Wen was puzzled. "Who is it?"
"It seems to be a few tea merchants."
When Qin heard this, she was suddenly shocked. It’s bad!
Su Wan's brows relaxed, the show was about to begin.
