When Cui Ruixin arrived, she saw the doctor she had invited and the maid kneeling and begging for mercy.

My heart skipped a beat; I knew my scheme had been exposed.

But she absolutely cannot admit it.

So she asked with a puzzled look, "Mother, are you feeling unwell? You've consulted so many doctors. Should we go to the palace to have the imperial physician examine you?"

"Tell me, what exactly happened?" the old lady said coldly.

She wouldn't mind driving away a child who wasn't her own.

What bothered her was that Cui dared to extend her reach into her room.

What if the medication she's been given these past few days wasn't something that would worsen her condition, but rather a deadly poison?

She dared not think too deeply about it.

"What did Mother say? I don't know anything about that." Cui Ruixin looked completely innocent.

"How dare you plot to murder your mother-in-law!" In a fit of anger, the old lady coughed up a mouthful of bloody phlegm.

"Daughter-in-law is innocent! Daughter-in-law knows nothing!" Cui Ruixin immediately knelt on the ground, crying with tears streaming down her face.

“My daughter-in-law has been married into the Marquis’s mansion for more than ten years. She has always managed the mansion diligently and served her parents-in-law. Today, without any evidence, how can you wrong me?”

The maid named Yingying kept crying and saying that she had only accidentally mixed up the medicine and had absolutely no intention of harming the old lady.

Gu Yu, who was standing to the side, turned pale with fright.

She never expected that the First Madam would dare to have someone switch the Old Madam's medicine.

If she had known, she wouldn't have said those things to frame the Second Miss on behalf of the First Madam.

Yu Kangjing invited the two doctors out of the courtyard.

After all, family shame should not be made public.

He only took a morning off; he still has to go back to work.

Inside the Wanxiang Hall.

The fact that Yingying died and the medicine was changed was an accident; she made a mistake out of confusion.

As for the doctor, Cui Ruixin also insisted that she had no idea what had happened.

After all, the person who gave the money wasn't in the mansion.

Unable to find detailed evidence, the old lady could only accuse Cui Ruixin of negligence in managing the household.

She said calmly, "Alright, you've managed to make such a mess of things. You should give the management to the third son's wife and let her take charge."

Cui Ruixin's expression really changed this time.

She is the mistress of the Marquis's mansion. How can she save face if the third branch of the family is allowed to manage the household?

“Mother, I have always been in charge of managing the affairs of the Marquis’s mansion. My third sister-in-law has no experience. With the end of the year approaching, if she makes a mistake, it will be troublesome.” Cui Ruixin was unwilling to give up her management of the household.

"Then you should assist her from the sidelines and help her as much as possible." The old lady didn't give her any face at all.

After speaking, the old lady looked at Shen Jinzhu again.

"Third son's wife, can you do it?"

Cui Ruixin shook her head at Shen Jinzhu, hoping she would refuse.

But Shen Jinzhu smiled slightly, her tone full of confidence: "It's worth a try. Before I got married, I helped the family manage businesses of all sizes, worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. I will do my best to not let you down."

"Very well, then let's leave it at that. A maid who can even brew medicine wrong, need not be kept, sell her off." The old lady waved her hand impatiently, and asked them all to leave Wanxiang Hall.

Cui Ruixin glared at Shen Jinzhu with resentment and said sarcastically, "Third sister-in-law, I'll have to trouble you with the affairs of the manor from now on."

"Sister-in-law, you've worked so hard for so many years, it's time for you to take a good rest. Once you've rested, I'll tell Mother to let you continue managing the household." Shen Jinzhu's words were laced with barbs.

Cui Ruixin was so provoked by her words that she lost her composure.

"Shen Jinzhu, we'll see."

“Sister-in-law, I’m just concerned about you, why are you saying such things?” Shen Jinzhu sighed softly.

Cui Ruixin was so angry that she turned around and left.

She had managed the Marquis's residence for many years, and her people were placed throughout the entire household.

She gave the order to have people make things difficult for Shen Jinzhu, because she didn't believe that Shen Jinzhu could manage the Marquis's mansion well.

If the Marquis's mansion is managed in a chaotic manner at that time...

The old lady will naturally return the power of housekeeping to her.

"Madam, will the First Madam try to trip us up?" Emerald asked worriedly.

"Don't be afraid. We'll deal with whatever comes our way." Shen Jinzhu said calmly.

She knew that nothing had changed now.

But after this incident, they completely broke off relations with the first wife's family.

We returned to the courtyard.

Yu Ningyao already knows everything through the system.

She looked at Shen Jinzhu with admiration.

"Mommy, you're amazing!"

"Hmm? How is Mother so amazing?" Shen Jinzhu couldn't help but smile when she heard her daughter's praise.

"I have a good mother~ beautiful and amazing~" Yu Ningyao hummed and twisted her body to snuggle into her arms, singing an unknown tune to praise her, which made Shen Jinzhu laugh out loud.

"Who taught you to sing this song? It's all jumbled up." Shen Jinzhu couldn't help but kiss her.

Today's frustration vanished in an instant.

Yu Ningyao pointed to the maid Liuli.

Liuli quickly waved her hand: "It wasn't me, my little tune isn't that bad."

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Yu Ningyao: ...

Humph.

She sings very well.

She secretly praised herself in her heart:

She has such excellent taste.

I've chosen a wonderful father and mother for myself!

However, now that the eldest son's wife has lost control of the household, she will definitely continue to cause trouble.

She needed to give Cui Ruixin something to do, so that she wouldn't cause her mother any more trouble.

With a quick thought, she came up with a good idea.

[System, System, remember to remind me when the Marquis goes to visit her mistress!]

The system knew she was up to something when it heard her gloating voice.

It chuckled and readily agreed:

Okay! No problem! Ready anytime!

Who can blame her for loving to watch the excitement?

Let's fight! Let's fight!

The more lively the better.

……

Yu Ningyao guessed correctly.

As expected, Cui Ruixin started causing trouble after losing her position as housekeeper.

Shen Jinzhu ordered someone to fetch the matching tokens to check the account books, but she made an excuse that she had a headache, and the account books were not complete.

Shen Jinzhu could only check each item one by one to see what was missing.

The already tedious workload has now doubled.

Furthermore, the kitchen was staffed by Cui Ruixin's people. She gave them orders to make things difficult for Shen Jinzhu, and they complied.

After all, Cui Ruixin was the mistress of the Marquis's mansion.

Once the old lady is gone, everyone will have to act according to her wishes.

Shen Jinzhu was extremely busy with these matters.

Yu Ningyao saw this and was anxious, wishing she could grow up and help her mother.

Fortunately, the system notified her that the Marquis couldn't hold back and went out to have an affair with a mistress.

Yu Ningyao immediately grabbed Shen Jinzhu's hand and began to whine and coax.

"Mommy~ Let's go out and play~"

"Wait until Mother is done with her work, okay?" Shen Jinzhu patted her youngest daughter's head.

"Please, just go out and have some fun~ Please~" Yu Ningyao looked at her pitifully.

Shen Jinzhu ultimately succumbed to her captivating gaze.

"It's all my husband's fault. He's always taking Yaoyao out to show off that we have a daughter. Now look what's happened, all Yaoyao wants to do is go out and play all day long." Shen Jinzhu complained as she ordered someone to prepare a carriage.

Yu Ningyao chuckled.

She was already itching to make a big splash and was determined to make the eldest son's family lose all face.
