At this time, the sky was bright, and Xia Ruan slowly walked into the hall.

Although this hall is not as grand as the former Pingyang Hou Mansion, it is many times better than the hall in the Xia family's house.

Xia Ruan looked at it, and the hall was already densely occupied.

She had just sat on the mahogany chair, and Mother Liu hurriedly took the tea cup from the little maid on the side and put it on the table beside Xia Ruan.

Mother Chen smiled and stood up from the crowd, she was dressed a lot brighter than the others: "The old slave asked Miss to say goodbye, Miss Yu left one person to guard the door except for the front door, and everyone else came." ”

Mother Liu's face suddenly became a little embarrassed.

These were obviously done by her, but now Chen's mother has come to steal her limelight.

Xia Ruan just smiled and didn't speak.

Xia Ruan knew very well in her heart what she was going to do next.

The maternal grandfather and third uncle all knew that their mother was at odds with He Cui, and now although He Cui is the old lady of the Li family on the surface, he is actually ......

My grandfather had never been in her room all these years, and she and her third uncle had already been a little embarrassed. Xia Ruan didn't understand the strangeness in this, after all, a smart person like the third uncle should not let He Cui arrange the subordinates here.

Xia Ruan pondered, there are some problems here.

At this time, Liu's mother couldn't hold back anymore, and she began to introduce to Xia Ruan. What did these people do, and after the end, they also deliberately explained that those people were arranged by the old lady, and those people were just bought, and Chen's mother turned pale when she listened.

Xia Ruan glanced at Liu's mother with appreciation: "The old lady sent someone over?" ”

"Yes, Miss." Mother Liu reacted quickly, and she almost said the names of those people. "These people are all under Chen's mother's control."

Xia Ruan picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea before saying slowly: "This is the old lady's kindness, but this house really doesn't need such people, Mother Chen, you can take these people back later." Tomorrow, I'll go and plead guilty. ”

As soon as these words came out, the people standing were a little confused, and everyone's reaction was different, some were shocked, some were snickering, and some were overwhelmed.

Chen's mother never thought that Xia Ruan would not give face to the old lady as soon as she came back, after all, the old lady was the Duchess of Chengguo.

She gritted her teeth angrily and said, with some arrogance in her words: "A few days ago, the old lady instructed the old slave that the young lady was a kind-tempered person. Have you ever lived in a mansion? Naturally, there is something I don't understand about the things in this house. Yesterday, the old man did not forget to tell the old slave when he was sick that he must serve the young lady well. ”

Mother Chen's words made Mother Liu's forehead break out in some cold sweat.

Because he is an understanding person, he can understand the meaning of Chen's mother's words. She said it politely. But there was a threat in the words...... She's already moved the old man out. So who would dare to say anything? As Chen's mother said, although this house belongs to the Xia family, the people who can pay for it are the Li family. And this daughter who married out of the water spilled the water. Now that the Li family is no longer in the Li family's genealogy, she has no relationship with the Li family for a long time. Today, the Li family paid for the Xia family to buy a house, it was based on the past feelings, and where could this young lady be picky.

Cuiliu sneered with a smile: "Mother Chen is so big, who is this for?" The title deed of this house is in the hands of my young lady, you are the servants of the Xia family, and the young lady will sell you, and the master will not say anything. I grew up in the Li family, and I know that the old man and the third master are sensible people, so how can I make the young lady block her heart. ”

Mother Chen was startled, and looked at Cuiliu's eyes with a little more resentment.

"The old slave doesn't dare." Mother Chen quickly knelt down, her eyes red, "The old slave has been serving by the old lady's side for so many years, and it is her own family, so the old lady let the old slave serve the young lady, if the young lady lets the old slave go, then ...... Then the old lady will definitely reproach the old slave for being inconsiderate. ”

Mother Chen never thought that this young lady would be so decisive, although she had already known in private that the relationship between the old lady and the Li family was not harmonious, but no one dared to say it too clearly.

This time, the third master did the house himself, but these minions were handed over to the third wife. The relationship between the third wife and the old lady has been getting better and better over the years, and if the Jiang family wants to keep the position of the one in the palace, it is far from enough to rely on the strength of the Li family. That's why the third lady will hand over this matter to the old lady, hoping that after the old lady gets angry, she can help the Jiang family say a few good words in the He family.

The third master and the old man don't know these things......

Chen's mother heard a little about it, and in the past, the third master loved the Li family as a rare treasure, and would never let the Li family suffer half a point of grievance. Even if the Li family is not in the Li family's genealogy, the third master still takes care of this sister.

But Xia Ruan is making such a fuss now, won't this matter come out?

Not only the third wife will suffer, but even the old lady will be reprimanded.

Xia Ruan stared at Chen's mother: "I said that I will personally come to the door to apologize to the old lady, what is wrong with you, Mother Chen?" I will definitely thank my grandfather for being so attentive, but it is only a small matter, but I still have to tell you personally. ”

Mother Chen's tears of fright fell at that time, because she knew that what she said just now was just to scare Xia Ruan.

Chen's mother thought that Xia Ruan was able to come to Kyoto thanks to the blessing of the Li family, so she naturally had to be careful. Now that the Li family didn't say anything, Xia Ruan naturally didn't dare to say anything.

The old lady would send Chen's mother here, naturally hoping that Li and Xia Ruan would have a bad time. But helplessly, the third master has already designated to let Mother Liu be the housekeeper, otherwise Mother Chen will definitely embarrass Xia Ruan even more yesterday, not just standing at the door and interrogating.

When Xia Ruan said these words now, he naturally spoke to Chen's mother's heart. Because if Xia Ruan mentioned these things to the master, then she ......

Mother Chen's intestines are all repentant, this old lady clearly said that the Li family is weak, and Xia Ruan's temperament is with the Li family, and he is also a good person. But who knew that Lu Dao was like this......

What worries Chen's mother the most is that Xia Ruan doesn't give the old lady face at all, so this angry old lady naturally wants to sprinkle it on her.

The more Chen's mother thought about it, the more scared she became, she couldn't go back.

"Miss, the old slave can't ......," Chen's mother turned her heart sideways, "If Miss doesn't understand the rules, she should ask Madame." The old slave did it again, the old slave was also sent by the old lady, and the lady had to ...... when she saw the old lady."

"That's enough."

Xia Ruan didn't even think about it, so she interrupted Chen's mother's words.

Her smile at this time was all gone, with a chill in her eyes, and the frightened Mother Chen had forgotten to cry. Chen's mother became more and more confused about why the teenage girl in front of her had such a powerful deterrent power.

There was silence in the room, and everyone didn't dare to gasp, for fear that they would be targeted.

Xia Ruan stared at Chen's mother, and after a while, she said: "The old lady is really considerate, I don't know that I thought that I sent you here to serve my mother and me, but when I look at it now, it is all a bunch of living ancestors." ”

"The old slave doesn't dare." Chen's mother was frightened and cried again.

Xia Ruan has been in a hurry these days, and the meal in the morning is not appetizing, and his body is already a little tired.

At this time, she could only insist and said: "I have already explained that there is no need for so many people to serve in this house, and I will personally make amends to the old lady, but you have repeatedly refuted me." Mother Chen, I originally planned to let you keep you after sending these people back, but now it seems that I can't keep you. You dare to talk back to what I command, who will dare to call you in this house in the future? You'll be back later. ”

Mother Chen didn't dare to say anything more at this time, everything she said now was wrong in Xia Ruan's eyes.

It's a lot of mistakes.

Cuiliu looked at Xia Ruan's appearance, somewhat happy.

She thought that the young lady would not be able to help Chen's mother.

Such a young lady, where does she look like a person who always laughs and talks on weekdays, and the cold makes the people around her have to bow their heads.

Xia Ruan saw that Mother Chen no longer refutated, so she picked up the teacup again and sipped lightly: "This is the Xia family's mansion, no longer the Li family where you used to be, here is me and my mother-in-law who have the final say." From now on, if you don't want to continue to stay in the house, I can let you all go back to the Li family, and I will definitely not stop you. Those of you who want to go with Mother Chen can stand up now, and if it's too late, don't blame me. ”

"Miss, the slave maid is incompetent, the slave maid wants to leave with Mother Chen......" As soon as Xia Ruan's words fell, a little maid knelt down.

"Slaves too—"

Then more than a dozen maids knelt down, but Xia Ruan's expression remained unchanged, and he continued to ask, "Is there anything else?" ”

Seeing that no one answered, Xia Ruan instructed Du Ruo: "The rest of the people will continue to stay in the Xia family's house, and the rest will be taken away by Mother Chen." Du Ruo you go and bring the silver I asked you to exchange yesterday, and the people who continue to work in the Xia family here will be rewarded with ten taels each. If the day to come is well served, the amount of silver for this month will be doubled. ”

After Xia Ruan finished speaking, the maid who knelt down just now and said that she wanted to go with Chen's mother turned even pale.

Everyone had already heard that Xia Ruan was born in a small businessman's household, and the monthly routine here was naturally inferior to that of the Li family, if it weren't for Chen's mother's repeated assurances, how could they come here? Now that Chen's mother is gone, these subordinates who came with Chen's mother naturally don't dare to stay longer, Xia Ruan gave them the opportunity to go, they naturally have to seize it, and it is right to hurry back to Li's house.

But no one expected that Xia Ruan's shot would be so generous.

It wasn't until Du Ruo began to give the money that they had left behind that they realized what they had done.

Even if they left the Xia family and returned to the Li family, they were only third-class subordinates.

Xia Ruan ignored these people, she felt weak at this time, and said to Liu's mother, who was stunned: "My yard sent a few little maids who were bought from outside, and the lady and the master sent those who understood the rules to the past, and you and Cuiliu arranged these things." Do you understand? ”

Mother Liu nodded: "The old slave understands. ”

Until now, who still doesn't understand that this house is from the Xia family, and now it is the little girl in front of her who has the final say.

Mother Liu began to admire herself, and she didn't make the same choice as Mother Chen just now. (To be continued......)
