The second lady seemed to see Wei's hesitation, and she didn't force it, but just patted her hand and said softly: "That's it, you can think about it first, how about coming to me after you figure it out?"

He Linwan watched from the sidelines, and was about to interject, but Wei had already spoken: "Thank you Second Aunt, it's just that I don't have any experience......

The smile on the second lady's face was even worse: "No one knows everything from the beginning, as long as you have this heart, the second aunt can teach you slowly." From now on, you can help me manage the treasury and the people's relations in the house. ”

Wei bowed his head, "Thank you, Second Aunt." ”

He Linwan sighed in his heart, and Wei still entered the game. However, she also understands that if it weren't for a pair of children, it would not be possible with Wei's indifferent temperament.

The second lady stood up with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Then it's decided, after Ming'er finishes saying good morning to Mrs. Tai in the morning, you will go to Mingshan Hall with me, and I will explain the matter to you clearly." I'm going to report to Mrs. Tai, so I'll leave first. ”

Wei and He Lin got up late to see her off: "Second aunt go slowly." ”

When the second lady left with her maid and mother-in-law, Mama Li hurriedly asked, "Madam, have you thought clearly? Do you really want to help the second lady take care of the house?"

Wei looked at the back of the second lady and was silent for a moment before saying, "Go back and talk about it." ”

Mama Li looked around, although she couldn't see anyone, but Mama Li also knew that this was not her own place, there were many people in the house, maybe what she said would be listened to by someone, so she nodded, said no more, and stepped forward to support Wei's arm.

On the way back, He Linwan observed Wei's, and Wei's brows never stretched along the way, thinking that she didn't have much confidence in her participation in the housekeeper's affairs.

When she returned to the main room of the West Garden, Mama Li sent out all the idle people, and He Lin saw that Mama Li and Wei were going to talk in the east room, so she used the excuse that she was tired and went back to the east to rest for a while, her illness was just not long, and her spirit was not good, so Wei didn't care about her.

Mama Li hurriedly asked when she saw that everyone had retreated: "Madam, I heard that the fourth lady said several times in front of the second lady, saying that she wanted to learn from her to learn human relations, and now that the second lady has left the fourth wife and chosen you, with the fourth wife's temperament, she will definitely not give up." ”

Wei Shi was silent for a moment, and then sighed: "Don't you see it yet? This is the purpose of the second aunt." ”

Mama Li was surprised: "You mean ......"

Wei smiled bitterly: "The second aunt just wants me to fight with the Yu family." ”

He Linwan couldn't help but be surprised when she heard this, she thought that Wei didn't know the purpose of the second lady, so she would be used by the second lady, but she didn't expect that Wei was clear in her heart.

He Lin could see that it was not simple behind Yu's series of provocative behaviors.

Mrs. Cheng Enbo was punished by Mrs. Cheng to go to the ancestral hall, and after the eldest lady took the initiative to give up the right to stewardship, the second lady became the housekeeper, and the second lady first reused not her daughter-in-law Cao, but the fourth wife Yu. Judging from the Yu family's series of behaviors later, the second lady wanted to use the Yu family's knife to replace Mrs. Cheng Enbo and the eldest lady's people, after all, these are things that offend people, and it is better for others to do it than to do it yourself.

The Yu family is just a chess piece used by the second lady, and her every move is naturally under the control of the second lady, and the image of the second lady's generosity and kindness in front of people actually does not say a word about the Yu family's repeated bullying of the third room, which shows that the second lady originally planned to be a watchman.

Wei continued: "With the shrewdness of the second aunt, how could she not know what was going on in the kitchen? I didn't understand the purpose of the second aunt before, and I didn't understand it until she persuaded me to be a housekeeper with her today, and handed over the errand that Yu had in mind to me. Although the second lady wanted to use the Yu family to deal with the people left behind by Mrs. Cheng Enbo and the eldest lady, she also needed someone to suppress the arrogance of the Yu family. ”

"I see, then now that she has put you and the fourth lady face each other, whoever wants to have the upper hand between the two of you will inevitably want to win her support, so that she will be firmly in the position of the lady of the family. Mama Li couldn't help but become anxious when she said this, "Madam, since you know that the second lady is not well-intentioned, then why do you still fall for her? You will tell her tomorrow that you have to teach the eldest lady and the sixth young master to be too busy." ”

Yu shook his head: "Since I am in this family, where can I stay out of the matter so easily? Yu has also seen what Yu has done, and I am not willing to give up if I blindly retreat." Coupled with the second lady calculating on the side, there will always be a next time if the Yu family is embarrassed this time. It doesn't matter if I'm wronged, but I, a mother, really can't stand Ah Wan and Xiaohuzi being bullied. ”

When Mama Li heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards the second lady: "When Mrs. Cheng Enbo was in charge, this second lady only served in front of Mrs. Cheng Enbo all day long. What do you think she's trying to do? This is the Chengenbo Mansion, and she still wants to cross the Chengenbo vein?"

Wei thought for a while: "Presumably she is unwilling, if it weren't for the second uncle who left early, she would be Mrs. Cheng Enbo." ”

Mama Li said disapprovingly: "What can you do if you are unwilling? This person has to recognize a fate! Sometimes there must be in life, and there is no time in life to force it." The second master is long gone, and she can't be Mrs. Cheng Enbo. When Mrs. Tai also goes to her house, she will inevitably move out of the Uncle's Mansion, is it possible that she still wants the second master to inherit the Uncle's Mansion? The uncle has three sons, so why can't it be the second master's nephew's turn to attack the lord. ”

Wei shook his head: "What the second aunt thinks in her heart is only known to herself, I just want to protect my two children and live in peace now, and other things have nothing to do with me." ”

Mama Li looked at Wei Shi worriedly and said, "Why don't you go and see Mrs. Cheng Enbo and ask her opinion? She is your mother-in-law and will always take care of you." ”

Wei Shi looked out the window in a daze for a while, and finally shook his head: "Mrs. Cheng Enbo is unable to protect herself now, so I won't make trouble for her." Didn't the second aunt just want to use me to dominate the Yu family, anyway, I have always been at odds with the Yu family, and whether I was used by the second aunt or not, the result is the same. ”

Mama Li and Wei talked for a while, until Xiaohuzi woke up and ran out of bed, Wei put down these troublesome things again and circled around his son.

He Linwan lay on the bed, quietly listening to the sound of the little tiger holding something outside.

Presumably, the inner courtyard of this Chengenbo Mansion will not be peaceful in the future. Whether it is the court or the inner court, whether it is a man or a woman, as long as there are people with ambitions, they will inevitably disturb the stable situation.

At this time, in the ancestral hall of Chengenbo Mansion, there were also people mentioning the second lady.

Mrs. Wei sat upright and knelt on the side of the desk, her face was calmly copying, her hands and fingers were slender, her nails were round, her grip was very steady, and the handwriting on the paper was clear and beautiful.

Mama Wang, who was reporting to her, involuntarily lowered her voice, as if she was afraid of disturbing something: "...... The second lady asked the third lady to send the third lady's maid to Yan Po, and punished the third lady for thinking about it behind closed doors, and then the second lady asked the third lady to take care of the house with her......"

Wei stopped writing, and Mama Wang's voice involuntarily followed.

Wei Shi turned his head and looked at the scriptures he had copied, and frowned: "Help me see if the word 'respect' in the middle is wrong?"

Mama Wang hurriedly moved over and stared at the scriptures carefully, and shook her head: "The slave and maid look at it without bias." ”

Wei put down the pen, stood up from the futon, and moved his wrist in a small arc: "Wei Shi answered?"

Mama Wang got up and stood two steps behind Wei with her head down: "Yes, the third lady agreed, and the second lady asked her to follow her to manage the treasury and the people's contacts in the house from tomorrow." ”

Wei walked to the window, stretched out his hand and pushed the window open, the window made a "squeak" sound, the slightly hot wind blew in, and two copies of the scriptures copied on the desk were blown off.

Wei Shi looked out the window at the tall Bodhi tree as if he was in a trance.

Mama Wang picked up the scriptures that fell on the ground, pressed them with a paperweight, and waited for a while before Wei spoke, so she said, "Madam, do you want the slave to remind the third lady a few words?"

Wei said nonchalantly, "Remind what?"

Mama Wang said: "The second lady asked the third lady to take care of the house, obviously uneasy and kind, don't you need to remind the third lady to ask her not to go to this troubled water at this time?

Wei Shi said lightly: "I let the eldest daughter-in-law hide, and let the third daughter-in-law retreat, and the remaining daughter-in-law is making waves outside to make waves and take advantage of my people?"

Mama Wang was startled and looked up at Wei.

Wei's voice was still calm and gentle: "She has endured for so many years to find such an opportunity to make a move, how can she give up lightly? ”

When Mama Wang heard this, she said, "Could it be that the second lady resented you because of that incident back then? But how can that incident be blamed on you? Even if it is an uncle......

Wei closed the window with a "snap" and interrupted lightly: "Okay, the things that shouldn't be mentioned should be let rot in the stomach." ”

Mama Wang was startled, and hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty: "The slave deserves to die." ”

"Get up. Wei Shi turned around and looked indifferent, "Wei Shi, you give her a few people who need to be used, don't let her suffer a big loss." Eldest daughter-in-law...... Let her come and follow me to copy the scriptures if she is fine. ”

Mama Wang got up, bowed her head and answered respectfully. I861
