【Quick Wear】My Years as a Mother-in-law

"By the way, bring Matchmaker Li here as well." Yun Xi suddenly said again.

"Matchmaker Li is an official matchmaker. Which young lady or young master are you proposing to, old lady? Now is the mourning period..." Dong Zhu hesitated. It would be better to ask Matchmaker Li to clarify so that she can be mentally prepared and avoid making mistakes.

"The fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth young ladies have all reached the age to get married." Yun Xi thought for a moment and said, "The oldest, the fifth young lady, is already fifteen. We should get married early and marry her after the mourning period is over. At eighteen, she's barely considered an old maid, and adding an extra dowry shouldn't be a problem. We'll hold the wedding for the fifth young lady first, followed by the sixth, seventh, and eighth young ladies. We'll have them all married within a year. Although I don't like their concubines, I won't blame them for the grudges of the previous generation."

When the time comes, the wedding must be a grand one, so that we can receive more gifts, hahahaha.

Dong Zhu didn't know why the old lady was so happy, so he went to do his job with a puzzled look, "I understand. I'll go ask Matchmaker Li right away."

"Xiaodong, go and see what the eldest young master is doing and ask him to come over. I have something important to tell you." Yun Xi continued to give instructions.

Xiaodong put down the work in his hands in an orderly manner, "Yes, I will go right away."

Xiaodong, Xiaoxi, Xiaonan and Xiaobei are the four maids she has newly promoted. Although they are young, they are loyal and easy to train. In addition, Xiaozuo and Xiaoyou work in the yard outside, responsible for managing other maids and collecting information.

Xiaoxi stopped embroidering and complained quietly, "Old Madam, these days, after knowing that you are the housekeeper, many maids and servants have lost their focus on their work."

"I know what's going on." Yun Xi had expected this. The original owner was a weak and timid person. She was ordered around and bullied by her mother-in-law every day in the mansion. How could she have any dignity? It was ridiculous to say that even the housekeeper who was by her mother-in-law's side was more respectable than the original owner. There was no way around it. Whoever held power would have dignity. This was understandable.

Qi Xian was very quick. He greeted Yun Xi first. He was very filial, but not in the right way. He didn't know how to support his mother before. Seeing his mother being bullied made her feel very uncomfortable, so he pleaded with Qi Cao, but it had the opposite effect. The original owner was bullied even more. Yun Xi didn't know what to say. In her memory, the original owner lived a very depressed life.

"Xian'er, this is a divorce letter. Please read it and sign it."

"Divorce letter? Mother? Why?" Qi Xian was puzzled.

Looking closely, I realized that this was written for myself?

"I guess you have found some clues in your recent search for the dragon and phoenix pendants, but you don't dare to make a decision. Let me be the bad guy. You have been married for seven years and you are twenty-four years old now. Sun Zhenni has not given birth to a child for you, and she also forcibly prevents you from taking a concubine. You have already violated the seven reasons for divorce." Yun Xi didn't want to say this.

After all, why should women be embarrassed by women? Perhaps her infertility was the cause of this lucky son. But besides being infertile, Sun Zhenni was also a thief. She had stolen the Dragon and Phoenix Pendant and given it to her parents. This item was crucial to the Qi family. If the Crown Prince asked about it and the Qi family couldn't produce it, what would the Crown Prince think? Sun Zhenni had no regard for the safety of the Qi family.

"First, write the divorce letter, then report to the police and go to the Sun family to take back all our Qi family's belongings." Yun Xi made a quick decision. "Some were given by your grandma, and some were stolen by Sun Zhenni. According to the confessions of Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Sun, here is the list."

These two maids used to work for the original owner's mother-in-law, one for the eldest daughter-in-law, Sun Zhenni, and the other for the eldest daughter-in-law. Both were responsible for managing the warehouse, so they knew the whereabouts of every item.

"Grandma gave it to me? Why? The Sun family..."

After several days of investigation, he found out that it was his wife who was responsible. He felt a little worried. When his mother talked about the issue of offspring, he couldn't help but complain to his wife. Not only did she not give birth to children, but she also stole things.

As for the matter of his grandmother, he was shocked, but he couldn't dig her out of her grave, could he? He could only keep it to himself, and he didn't expect his mother to know about it too.

"Go ahead and do it. Being the head of a family requires decisiveness. If you hesitate, you will suffer the consequences." Yun Xi made the arrangements without question. "Xiao Nan, tell Butler Qi to bring more people to protect the young master and don't let him get hurt."

Qi Xian sat on the round stool, hesitating for a while, then took a deep breath and signed the divorce agreement. He stood up, lifted his robe, and said, "Mom, I will definitely take care of this."

Yun Xi watched him leave without saying anything and taught him step by step. If he still couldn't learn it, she would have to give up.

Zhao Yapo came very quickly. After all, she was doing business, so how could she not be proactive?

Yun Xi asked someone to invite Zhao Yapo to the main hall to sit down and rest for a while, and served her the best tea and snacks.

Then he asked Xiaoxi to gather all the servants in the inner courtyard, including the personal maids of all the illegitimate sons and daughters, a total of sixty-eight people. These people were standing in the yard at this time, not knowing why.

Before the snacks and tea arrived, Zhao Yapo, driven by curiosity, peeked into Lanxuan Hall and wondered if it was such a big deal.

After leaving the servants alone for a while, Yun Xi walked out of the house with the help of Xiaoxi and Xiaobei.

Looking at the servants who were drooping in the sun, Yun Xi steeled her heart and said to them seriously, "I believe everyone knows that I will be the head of the Qi family from now on. I found that after the old ancestor left, the mansion has become more and more disorderly, and there are endless cases of theft and laziness. After investigation, we have obtained a lot of evidence. However, considering that everyone has dedicated half their lives to the Qi family, I have discussed with the eldest young master and decided to give everyone a chance. Those who surrender and return their property or report the crime can redeem themselves and become good people. If you commit crimes, don't blame me. Either hand them over to the authorities or Zhao Yapo will deal with them in her own way."

After he finished speaking, there was silence in the courtyard for a long time. Chunhua and the other two maids had gloomy faces and each had their own thoughts, but none of them wanted to be the first to speak out, so they lowered their heads and said nothing.

Yun Xi was not surprised. Who would have the nerve to say that they had committed a crime by stealing?

Therefore, Xiaonan and Xiaobei were asked to take pens to the side room to record, and the servants were asked to go in one by one. If they could speak, they could speak. If they didn't, it didn't matter. Then they would have no chance to redeem themselves and would be sold directly. Anyway, after all these years of trouble caused by the Qi Cao family, the servants had become extremely arrogant, flattering, cunning, forming cliques, suppressing others, etc.

It would be better to sell them all and replace them with new ones to save time and effort.

As soon as these words were spoken, the servants who had decided not to speak became excited.

Therefore, it took almost two hours just to get the servant to report and verify the matter. By this time, Yun Xi had already selected the person to buy from Zhao Yapo.

The Qi family's mansion is large. It is said that the government registration shows that it has three courtyards. However, Yun Xi felt that this was not right. There are five buildings in the main courtyard, two buildings in the side courtyard, a small garden and a small lake. How could there be only three courtyards? Therefore, a lot of servants are needed to clean and tidy up.
