I'm already dressed like a fool, what's wrong with taking the regent into the bridal chamb

"Azhi?"

Seeing that she was distracted, Zheng's mother called her several times before she came back to her senses.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Mother Zheng asked with concern.

Wen Qingzhi said: "No, I just thought of something."

She forced a smile, "Just some trivial matters."

She was not willing to tell everyone about the family scandal, after all, it was not a glorious thing.

If other people knew about this, it would probably turn into something ridiculous.

"Is it a family matter?"

After all, Zheng's mother was an experienced person and could tell at a glance that she was worried. The only things that Wen Qingzhi could care about were the things happening in her house.

"Is it... related to your sister-in-law?"

In fact, Zheng's mother could imagine that for her sister-in-law, the Marquis' Mansion should have been her and her children's family business.

Even though Wen Qingzhi is now the head of the Marquis' Mansion, it should be handed over to her sister-in-law when she is not around.

To her sister-in-law, she is an outsider.

Even she would not be happy if her sister-in-law handed over the power of the family to an outsider instead of herself.

"Azhi."

Mother Zheng called her and said politely, "Ah Mama has thought about it. You won't be gone for long anyway. Why don't you let your sister-in-law take charge of the household, and Ah Mama will help out. How about that?"

"To her, my mother is an outsider. If my aunt handed over the power of the family to an outsider instead of me, let alone her, would you be happy?"

happy?

She hadn't thought about that question.

In her opinion, the strong always prevail, and whoever has the ability makes the decisions.

Wen Qingzhi knew that the general was the right material, and in fact, the general also knew it.

It's not that she is unwilling to admit it, but now Jiang Nian is usurping the throne. Even if she understands her own shortcomings, she is unwilling to hand over "her" family business to others.

Wen Qingzhi was silent for a moment, then shook her head again, "Mother, stop talking. If it were any other time, I wouldn't say anything. But it's different now."

She said seriously, "There is a time bomb next to her that can explode at any time and endanger the Marquis' Mansion."

"Besides, she can't even manage her own private vault. How can you expect me to hand over the entire Marquisate to her with confidence?"

"The current Marquis' Mansion relies entirely on these few things to survive. I can't afford to fail, and I can't make any mistakes."

"If Jiang Nian was a good person, I wouldn't have done this. It's obvious that since Jiang Nian came, the rift between me and her has grown. Yesterday, when I went to see Little Stone, he even said he didn't want to play with me."

"I'm not angry about what he said, but I think that in such a short period of time, a kind-hearted child like that can change. This Jiang Nian is not a pushover either."

"The fact that she repeatedly came to bother me even after I clearly warned her was enough to prove that these two sisters are now half tied together."

"Mother, if it were you, what would you do?"

After she finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

It was Zheng Yue who spoke first to break the deadlock. She said seriously, "If I were Ah Zhi, I would also find a trustworthy and reliable person to manage the household."

"Some people can fail, while others can't. Ah Zhi is the one who can't fail."

Zheng Yue had lived in the Marquis' Mansion for such a long time that she had a very good relationship with the servants. In addition, the old nanny around her knew a lot and often taught the servants, so naturally the relationship was much stronger than that with Jiang Yao, who had little contact with her.

She had heard everything about Wen Qingzhi these days and felt sorry for her sister from the bottom of her heart.

She even hated herself for not meeting her earlier?

That way, we can protect this little girl well and prevent her from being bullied by anyone.

Zheng Yue also noticed Jiang Yao's attitude towards Wen Qingzhi recently.

She sometimes felt angry.

Wen Qingzhi gave her good food and drink, but what about her?

Ever since that Jiang Nian came, he almost never came to see Wen Qingzhi. He stayed in the yard with Jiang Nian all day long.

Knowing that Wen Qingzhi would enter the palace soon, she did not come to comfort her. Instead, she was unhappy about the matter of being the head of the household.

Wen Qingzhi understood that Zheng Yue was concerned about her, and she felt relieved. She said, "Sister, you don't have to be angry."

"perhaps……"

She began to excuse Jiang Yao, not wanting their relationship to become strained. "Perhaps my sister-in-law just couldn't figure it out for a moment, or perhaps she was bewitched by Jiang Nian."

"After all, they have been sisters for so many years, and Jiang Nian once helped her when she was in trouble."

"My sister-in-law is a nostalgic person, otherwise she wouldn't have given birth to little Shitou and raised him up all by herself."

Hearing her say this, everyone felt even more distressed.

The people in the small mountain village didn't know what had happened. Since there were important people around, they didn't dare to ask.

But they were not stupid. Judging from their conversation, they thought Wen Qingzhi had been wronged, and worry appeared on their faces.

"girl."

Xia Niang trembled and said, "If you are unhappy in the Marquis' Mansion, come and live with us for a while!"
