A post-apocalyptic female soul travels back to the War of Resistance against Japan

Chapter 540 Zhou Mei Loses Housekeeping Power

Aunt Zhou quickly replied, "That's right, I sent them to the estate to take care of some things, but they haven't returned yet, so I sent a newly bought maid over."

"It must be this servant who didn't recognize the young lady and the others at first, so he didn't handle this matter well!"

Cheng Ying said dismissively, "When my mother and I went there, we told her who we were, but she still tried to stop us from going in. I had to force her aside and we barged in to see my grandmother."

"Can you honestly say this isn't just deliberately making things difficult for us?"

“If we don’t force our way in, we won’t know what happened to my grandmother. This maid’s behavior is despicable.”

Luo Yu still understands that Zhou Mei must have used some underhanded methods to deliberately send away Chen Yulan's trusted maids and servants.

“Zhou Mei, there are so many servants in the house, why do you have to send away the ones who are close to the madam? Don’t you know that the madam is ill and that’s exactly when she needs help?”

Zhou Mei was at a loss for words. "I, sir, will be more careful next time. I was wrong this time and I apologize to Madam."

Chen Yulan said coolly, "There's no need for an apology. I can't bear that responsibility. You are the only person who gave birth to the only heir for the master and the Luo family. Just don't send my people away casually in the future, and that will be enough."

Zhou Mei lowered her head and said through gritted teeth, "Yes, Madam, it won't happen again."

Luo Yu said irritably, "Alright, you can go now!"

"Oh, and let's leave the household affairs to Madam! After all, she's recovered now!"

Chen Yulan originally didn't want to get involved. She finally had some free time and wanted to spend some quality time with her daughter and granddaughter.

Just as she was about to tell Luo Yu that she didn't want to manage the household, Luo Yu said, "I don't trust Madam to be in her care. Besides, it's always better to have your own people handle things, isn't it?"

"Like this time, if you only use people you trust, how could you end up having all the people around you sent away?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulan was unable to say what she wanted to say.

Luo Yu further advised, "Besides, this kind of person with impure intentions has a daughter and granddaughter living in the house. We, as family members, must take good care of them and not let others take advantage of the situation."

Zhou Mei felt wronged by Luo Yu's constant accusations of being an outsider and referring to others, feeling that her sincere feelings had been betrayed by him.

Although she knew from the beginning that she had schemed against him, her feelings for Luo Yu at the time were genuine.

Although this was just her initial idea, and it has changed now, as long as she doesn't say anything, who would know?

Zhou Mei curtsied and turned to leave.

A hint of resentment flashed in her eyes, and she secretly plotted to take revenge in the future.

However, she remembered that her son, Luo Jingtao, would be back soon.

That's right, it's her son. When the time comes, it will be easy to get revenge on Chen Yulan by using that brat Luo Jingtao!

Chen Yulan sighed helplessly and said to Luo Yu, "Master, since that's the case, then I will take over the household affairs again."

"However, there are some things that I would prefer to have my subordinates handle, and I will try to avoid getting involved myself."

"After all, I need to make more time to spend with Wanyin and my granddaughter!"

Luo Yu nodded, "Alright, whatever you say, Madam!"

Luo Yu was incredibly excited ever since he saw his wife recover today, even though he didn't know how his granddaughter had cured her illness.

However, he was grateful for this. His wife had suffered from illness for so many years, and he had also felt bad about it and was tormented every day.

After everyone finished eating, Luo Yu hurried back to the yamen because he still had some business to attend to, while Chen Han also had to go and check on how his subordinates were being settled.

After the two left, Chen Yulan quickly had her servants prepare a courtyard so that her daughter's family could rest for a while!

This journey must have been very arduous, and even though she longed to spend more time with her daughter and granddaughter, she couldn't disregard their health!

She then summoned all the servants in the mansion to see how many new people had joined and how many had left; she needed to have a clear understanding of the situation.

She also needs to find someone to bring back all her people; she doesn't have enough manpower right now and needs to find more people to work for her.

The afternoon passed quickly, and Chen Yulan was not idle during that time. She remembered that Wanyin had said she had written letters, but none of them had reached her hands. She wanted to find out whether the letters had actually arrived at the mansion.

If it arrives at your residence, who will take it?

This investigation revealed something intriguing: all the letters had arrived at her residence, but that vile woman Zhou Mei had taken them all.

Perhaps Zhou Mei thought she wouldn't recover from this illness, so she didn't try to hide the letter's whereabouts. A check with the gatekeeper revealed that Zhou Mei had taken the letter.
