Bai Mujin naturally couldn't let her arrange herself, so she glanced at Old Madam Bai aggrievedly, and then asked as if puzzled: "Grandmother, Jin'er is young and ignorant, but today I want the servants to clean the house well, and they actually shirk it in every possible way, just don't move, dare to ask if such a slave should not be punished?"

Mrs. Bai took a look at the Hibiscus Garden, she had not set foot in the courtyard of the Hibiscus for several years, and it was already so chaotic outside, those flowers and plants had not been pruned for several days, and weeds had grown, and there were some messy debris in the corners of the yard, and the pillars of the corridor were also gray.

Immediately, she became angry, and said angrily: "Lu's family, Lu's family, I used to be a sensible person, you can take a look at Jin'er's yard for yourself, is this the courtyard where the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion lives? Such a minion, you still want Jin'er to tolerate them, you clearly connived at the subordinates to bully her young and ignorant!"

Lu knew that Bai Mujian was deliberately making her ugly, so he said innocently: "Old lady, I really don't know about this matter, I am sick these days, and it is inevitable that there will be negligence in doing things." But Jin'er has an idea, and I didn't expect her to be able to manage the people in her yard, so please forgive the old lady!"

"You mean that Jin'er herself is incompetent, and you can't blame it? You are the head of the house of Ning Guogong, and you are in charge of everything in the house, and Jin'er is only thirteen years old, how can you be embarrassed to blame her?" Old Madam Bai was obviously not satisfied with her answer.

Lu Shiqiang said with a smile: "The lesson of the old lady is that I was negligent, and I will definitely help Jin'er manage her yard more in the future, in fact, the concubine is also afraid of interfering too much in the affairs of Jin'er's yard, and attracting other people's words, I think it is wrong, and I will definitely not in the future!"

Bai Muhibiscus sneered secretly, but said in embarrassment: "Mother, these subordinates keep saying that you appointed them, I want to punish them, but I don't want to be punished obediently, I must let you call the shots, you see how it is!"

"There is still such a thing? There are really more and more slaves in our Guogong Mansion, and in the future, the slaves will all climb to the master's head, and they must not be indulged lightly, they will all be beaten with thirty boards, and ask Ya Po to sell them, and then pick some good ones to make up for them!" Before the Lu family could speak, Old Madam Bai had already given an order.

This is exactly what Bai Mu Hibiscus wanted, she hurriedly thanked: "Thank you grandmother, Jin'er doesn't dare to use such a minion again, I can't say that one day I will attack them, but they joined forces to beat them, yesterday's incident, Jin'er still has palpitations!"

As soon as Mrs. Bai remembered yesterday, her resentment towards the Lu family deepened, she glanced at her coldly, and said, "I think in the future, you should interfere less in Jin'er's affairs, so as not to let you get worse and worse, and I don't know if these subordinates dare to treat Jin'er so lightly because of your instructions, hum!"

Lu Shi was not light, but he didn't dare to attack in front of Old Madam Bai, so he could only say with hatred: "How can a daughter-in-law be that kind of person, don't listen to this provocative remark, you have wronged your daughter-in-law in vain!"

"Did I wronged you, you know in your own heart, since you have managed the housework, the people in the mansion have become more and more bold, how many things have happened these days, I really want to doubt whether you are suitable to be the master mother of the Ningguo Mansion, if you don't have that ability, it is better to change someone to take care of the housework, lest the face of our government will be lost to you!"

As soon as the Lu family heard that the old lady wanted to take back her stewardship, he immediately panicked and said: "The concubine has been doing her best to take care of the affairs of the house, and there is no merit and hard work, please forgive the old lady!"

Old Madam Bai listened, but she was completely unmoved, the more she looked at this Lu family, the more she felt that it was an eyesore, how could she be deceived by her for a while, she actually helped her cover up those pickled things, and acquiesced to her as a steproom.

"Grandmother, don't be angry, my mother is really hard, and there is no one who can help her, a person's energy is limited, and it is inevitable that some mistakes will be made, if there is a person who knows the root and is capable and can help one or two, it is excellent!" said Bai Mu Hibiscus pointedly.

When Old Madam Bai heard this, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, the whole house is now under the control of the Lu family, and even if she wants to interfere now, she can't act rashly because of her face. And her son is all devoted to the Lu family, and the aunts in the house have been sent away for various reasons in the past few years, and the Lu family's methods are indeed very clever. But now it's time to take a concubine for your son.

Old Madam Bai nodded, patted Bai Mu'er's shoulder, and said approvingly: "Jin'er is reasonable, you are really a filial person, Lu, you see Jin'er is so considerate of you, who is unhappy to have such a daughter?"

The Lu family had nowhere to vent the anger in her heart, where did she not understand the meaning of Bai Muhibiscus and the old lady, this was about to take a concubine for Bai Shizu again, but what about bringing it in? With her means, no one wanted to stay in the backyard of the Guogong Mansion for a long time.

Lu forced a smile and echoed: "Yes, Jin'er is indeed a filial person, and it is not in vain that I feel sorry for her!"

Bai Mujin hurriedly said modestly: "Mother, my daughter should be filial to you, but I don't deserve your praise, in the future, I will definitely be more filial to you and grandmother!"

Lu was almost so angry that he vomited blood, but he still had to force a smile and Bai Mu Hibiscus was false and wronged, looking at her expression like swallowing flies, Bai Mu Hibiscus was even happier in his heart.

In the future, this mansion will definitely be more lively, but she has always known that Old Madam Bai has a distant cousin and niece, who is not high, but she is quite blue-eyed by the old lady, according to the old lady's temperament, she will definitely take this cousin in, so as to become her right-hand man and help the old lady fight against the Lu family.

The unsightly maids were sent away, and her yard was clean, and a few girls who stayed behind helped the mandarin ducks and magpies clean the yard, and found some unclean things, all of which were quietly dealt with.

For a while, the Hibiscus Garden was clear and clear, and the white hibiscus was naturally very satisfied, and Mama Rui added some flowers and plants that were beneficial to her body and mind, and put them in the yard and the house, adding some vitality, and avoiding the collision of those pickled things in the past.

"Mama Rui, the Lu family asked Bai Yunxi to send me a lot of good things, I can't be ignorant as a sister, and I don't want to be rude!" Bai Mu Hibiscus took a sip of tea and said lightly.

Mama Rui naturally understood, so she said: "Miss, that pot of evening primrose is good, I think the second miss will like it." ”

Bai Mujin was a little puzzled and said, "This flower?"

"Don't worry, it's okay to put it out at night, but ordinary people don't know!" Mama Rui gave Bai Muhibiscus a reassuring smile, of course she would not be stupid enough to harm her master with poison.

Bai Muhibiscus nodded, it was really a good thing, she put it here, and sent it to Bai Yunxi, naturally it would not arouse suspicion, if something happened to her, she didn't know anything.

"Then send someone to send it, by the way, I have a copy in this house, so as not to say that I am a sister who is not sincere!" said Bai Mu Hibiscus idly, with a soft smile on his face.

Mama Rui nodded, smiled silently, she is now more and more satisfied with Bai Hibiscus's performance, this little girl is an amazing character, she has such a city at a young age, and she is very human.

Bai Mu Hibiscus pondered for a moment, and then said: "The maids I left behind, Mama help me pay attention to them, there should be hidden chess pieces buried by the Lu family!"

Mama Rui frowned slightly, and said, "Miss is to keep them and lower the Lu family's vigilance?"

"Not exactly, these people will help a lot if they take advantage of it, Mama, don't you say?" asked Bai Hibiscus with a smile, a sparkle in his eyes.

Mama Rui wondered in her heart, it seems that she still underestimated Bai Mujian's scheming, generally people who dare to use enemies are people with absolute self-confidence, she should be confident, and dare to make dangerous moves.

"The old slaves will pay attention and never let them take advantage of it!" Mama Rui said solemnly.

The corners of Bai Mujian's mouth turned up, shook his head, and said, "Mama is wrong again, the opportunity that should be given must be given, otherwise how can they explain to their master?"

Moreover, if they didn't have a chance to do it, how could she drag Lu and her two sons and daughters into the water step by step, and then put them to death.

Mama Rui nodded and said, "What Miss said is reasonable!"

She suddenly felt that if this woman entered the harem, then the fierce competition for the rear position would end soon, such a woman was too terrible, obviously so deep hatred, but she could endure it quietly, and then constantly teasing her enemies, like playing with mice, playing with those enemies who thought they were smart, and applauding.

Even the pretentious old lady Bai was gradually led by her nose, and she was acting in the direction of her calculations step by step, she knew the human heart and human nature too well, so everyone in this mansion couldn't escape this girl's calculations.

sighed slightly, what kind of things have happened to make a little girl who is only thirteen years old become so scheming and calculating?

After several failures, the Lu family stopped, but this kind of silence made Bai Mu Hibiscus more cautious, because she knew Lu Shi's temperament too well, this is a very patient opponent, she can endure in the Xiangfu for more than ten years, please her mother and sister, in order to hit at the last moment.

The more she doesn't move, the more vicious her next actions will be, Lu is very smart, she will never fight with her again.

Old Madam Bai's movements were also very fast, and before a month, the cousin Mu Xinping entered the Ningguo Mansion with an old mother and a little girl.

Old Madam Bai also deliberately called herself over when she came, saying that she wanted to introduce her to know, to put it bluntly, it was to explore Bai Hibiscus's tone, after all, now Bai Hibiscus has some weight in the heart of Old Madam Bai, and the old lady doesn't want to make Bai Hibiscus feel bad because of helping Bai Shizu take a concubine.

Bai Mujin entered the door, and as soon as he saw this gentle and touching little jasper, he immediately saluted with a smile, and shouted obediently: "Aunt cousin!"

In fact, Mu Xinping was only eighteen years old, and she was called aunt by such a young lady who was not much younger than herself, and she was really embarrassed to blush, but she turned sideways very sensibly, without the full salute of the thin white hibiscus, and said with a docile expression: "The eldest lady is polite, I'm embarrassed to call me!"

Bai Mujin glanced at Old Madam Bai, and then said, "Where is my cousin, you are your grandmother's niece, and you should have received a gift from me." In the future, I will be able to have more companions in the house, and my grandmother mentioned you to me before you came, saying that you are excellent at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and my aunt can teach me more in the future!"

Mu Xinping was naturally happy when she heard this, and the smile on her face became cheerful, and Old Madam Bai was very satisfied with Bai Muhibiscus's attitude, and did not look down on her because Mu Xinping's family background was not high, but was courteous.

Mu Xinping smiled skillfully, her face flushed slightly, and said: "The eldest lady praised it falsely, my aunt's piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are the best, and if I want to be taught by my aunt, the eldest lady should also be very good!"

"Don't call me the eldest lady, just call me Jin'er like my grandmother, we are all a family, you don't need to see outside, grandmother, you say yes?" Bai Mu Hibiscus said innocently and well-behaved.

Old Madam Bai naturally liked it, and said with a smile: "Jin'er is reasonable, we will be a family in the future, Xinping, you should treat this as your own home, no need to be restrained!"

Mu Xinping suddenly had a good impression of Bai Muhibiscus, and felt that such a small relative who came to join alone was so close to the eldest lady of the Ningguo Mansion, and she didn't mean to despise her at all.

As soon as she saw Mu Xinping, Lu's face became quite ugly, but in the face of Old Madam Bai, she forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart.
