Noble Lady

at dusk.

Xue Chenyu finally "returned home".

Mrs. Liu couldn't wait to ask Mother Huang to come over and pass on the message, saying in angrily that the old lady asked her to come over.

The old lady always used this trick. Xue Chenyu had little interest, but she had to go.

So Yuzhu replied that she felt a little dizzy and wanted to drink some water before going.

She had already had dinner in Mingyu Pavilion. After all, a full person has more energy than an hungry person.

Let Liu starve a little longer.

However, it was not only Liu who sent someone to deliver the message, but also the second wife's old lady Zhang.

Compared to Liu who always asked people to kneel down and listen to lectures, the content of her message was much more normal.

The general meaning was that he wanted to discuss something with her and asked her when she would be free.

Xue Chenyu also responded generously and asked her to come over tomorrow morning.

Then he drank a cup of tea and took Yuzhu Qiuhua to Ciwenyuan.

“The daughter-in-law has met the old lady.

"Please sit down." Liu looked tired and waved her hand casually.

This was the first time in recent days that he made her kneel down without even meeting her.

Xue Chenyu was a little surprised: "I wonder what the old lady wants her daughter-in-law to come over for?"

Liu: "Sit down and talk first."

Forget it, the person who came had bad intentions. If she didn't want to sit down, she should have stood up.

Xue Chenyu nodded slightly and sat down.

"I know it's not easy for you to be a housekeeper, so I called you here today to have a few personal words with you."

"No matter whether it's a large or small family, it's always the mistress who manages the household. Do you understand, Yu'er?"

"Madam, are you trying to tell me that the Master has taken back the stewardship? This was the Master's decision, and as a woman, I have no right to interfere. Besides, the Master has also taken back the keys to the account books."

"You can't just abandon a housekeeper and ignore him. It's not decent to tell anyone about it, is it?"

Xue Chenyu: "My daughter-in-law doesn't understand. What the old lady means is that you are doing something wrong?"

Mrs. Liu's face was filled with black lines: "..." How could her son be wrong? Even if he was wrong, he would never admit it!

"What I mean is, being a housekeeper is the mistress's job. How can you push that responsibility away?"

This mother and son are really interesting.

One of them came to ask her to take back the housekeeper power, and the other did not want her to hand it over. Is there anything between mother and son that cannot be discussed first before telling her?

Although she thought so in her heart, Xue Chenyu's face was still full of surprise. "My daughter-in-law doesn't quite understand what the old lady means. The master came to me early in the morning to ask for the key to the account book. The master is the head of the family. He wants to take back the housekeeping power. How can I not give it to him?"

Liu: “…” Speechless.

Minzhi is the head of the family, which is what she often says.

Xue Chenyu immediately put on a pitiful expression, "Old Madam, please understand. You are the one who has been in charge of this family. You know the situation better than anyone else. Your daughter-in-law is willing but unable to do anything."

"My Lord feels that I haven't been able to manage the household well and wants to take back my housekeeping authority. I dare not complain, nor do I have the face to take on such a heavy responsibility. From now on..." She sighed softly, "From now on, I will have to trouble you, Madam."

This sentence stopped Liu from thinking of throwing this mess to her again.

"I've been running around outside all day and I'm very tired, so I'll take my leave now."

No matter what Liu's expression was, Xue Chenyu bowed and left.

He Minzhi and Liu, mother and son, are the same kind of people, always putting their own interests first.

Previously, she had taken great pains and spent a lot of money to let their family take advantage of her, but when He Minzhi found that she could not get any advantage, she wanted to turn against them.

Otherwise she wouldn't be able to successfully get rid of this mess.

Liu is the best among them. He finally found her, a fool who would take over at any cost. Now that he has retreated, she has to bear the mess again.

That's why I can't wait to trick myself back.

It’s a pity that neither the mother nor the son could reach an agreement.

The moment he walked out of Ciwenyuan, Xue Chenyu looked up and saw the starry sky.

Suddenly I felt proud.

Just let them, mother and son, fight it out on their own.

And they are the ones making trouble.

……

Ji Minrou had been looking forward to seeing Liu teach Xue Chenyu a lesson, but unexpectedly, when she saw Xue Chenyu, she was rejected by the door.

There is nothing I can do but wait for news.

As a result, Xue Chenyu was seen coming out of Liu's room, without any sign of frustration at being scolded.

When she arrived at Liu's door, Mother Huang also shook her head at her: going in at this time would only lead to scolding. She turned around and left very tactfully.

Now we can only wait for news from He Minzhi.

I wonder when he will implement his promise to take back the housekeeping power? Xue Chenyu is already like this, it is impossible for her to be the housekeeper again.

Ji Minrou was very anxious and even quietly went to the door to wait.

But He Minzhi didn't show up no matter how long she waited, which made her feel uneasy.

He clearly said he would deal with it, so why is he suddenly not coming home so late?

Could it be that he regretted it? !

Ji Minrou thought of many possibilities and became more and more uneasy.

Just when she was extremely anxious, an unfamiliar carriage arrived at the door.

He Minzhi got off the cart talking and laughing, and Shitou also got off from his seat next to the driver.

He Minzhi had already gotten off the car, but was still talking to the people in the car through the curtain.

Looks very warm.

Ji Minrou's heart sank.

"Cousin, why did you come back just now?" Ji Minrou took a few steps forward.

He Minzhi's smile froze, his face darkened, and he whispered, "Why are you out here? Widows should be self-aware and stay out of the spotlight."

Ji Minrou was stunned. Since returning to the He family, her cousin had never spoken to her loudly. How could he suddenly...

But she didn't dare say anything too extreme at this time, so she quickly lowered her head and pretended to be weak.

"It's Rou'er's fault, but she was just too impatient. Madam..."

When He Minzhi heard the word "Madam", his expression softened a little. He said goodbye to the people in the carriage and told Ji Minrou to follow him.

On the way, he asked Ji Minrou what happened. Ji Minrou didn't know anything and could only shake her head.

"what for?"

"In the evening, my aunt ran into Madam and refused to let Rou'er in. Only Huang's mother was there at the time, and Rou'er was outside. I could only vaguely hear them arguing for a few words. Madam..."

"She dares to disrespect her mother again?" He Minzhi's face became increasingly ugly.

Even taking back the housekeeper's power couldn't deter her? Or did she really have some other motive?

"Tell me, what did she do today?"

He Minzhi suddenly grabbed Eji Minrou's arm, which scared her. She immediately pretended to be weak and pitiful.

"Cousin, what the lady did this time is really too much..."

She sobbed and complained, blaming Xue Chenyu for the fact that the vegetable farmers didn't deliver vegetables today, there was nothing to eat in the house, and all kinds of unpleasant things.

Of course, we did not forget to emphasize the incident of the second wife's old lady Zhang overturning the table, and once again emphasized indirectly that it was all caused by Xue Chenyu's irresponsibility.
