Chapter 22 Wild Mandarin Ducks

"So what do we do now? If she arrests Steward Sun, she will know a lot of things about us, and when the time comes, she will tell her father, and we will be kicked out as well. "Zhou Xiwan is anxious, yes, this is the difference between a concubine and a concubine, if her mother is the wife of the house, she can curb Zhou Xiya and prevent her from being so rampant, but she has no power and power, as long as there is a big tree like her father, they can't easily bring down Zhou Xiya.

"Don't worry, think of a way slowly, I can see it, Zhou Xiya is deliberately playing tricks on us, and she doesn't want to beat us to the end, if she directly tells your father what she knows, now there is no chance for our mother and daughter to talk here, although I don't know what she is planning, but it gives us a chance to turn over, Zhou Xiya is still too tender, she will not die when she fights a snake, but suffers from it." A sharp light flashed in Bai's eyes. She doesn't mind describing herself as a poisonous snake, sheep can't survive.

"Mother, what can you do?" Zhou Xiwan looked at Bai expectantly.

"Go back and talk about it" Bai Shi and Zhou Xiya left, as for how much her subordinates will be replaced by Zhou Xiya, she can't stop it now, it's still out of sight, but she is not unprepared, if there is no hidden hand in the house, the surface will be pulled out, and sooner or later she will get the lost chassis back.

On this day, Zhou Xiya was not idle, and in the morning she saw the various stewards in the house, knocking on what should be beaten, and winning over the court, breaking the pattern that the Bai family has made in the house over the years. Although she knew that these people would not return to her heart immediately, but there were not many people she could use at hand now, so let them stay for a while, and she would just tidy up slowly.

In the afternoon, she met the shopkeepers in the shop, listening to their reports, Zhou Xiya wanted to get angry, but she could only endure it, and changed all the people at once, but there were not so many people who could be replaced, so she had to replace the shopkeepers of several shops with development potential with her own people, these people were transferred from the industry that her uncle gave her, her uncle's family is a political and business family, and the business scale is very large, and there are more than ten shops in the capital under her uncle's name, all of which are boutique shops, and the staffing is also very complete, and her aunt gave her, She just took this opportunity to meet the manager of the shop in the capital, dispatch the manpower, and change it to the Zhou family's shop.

"Miss, take a break, you're tired of the day, eat something." Jinxiu brought a bowl of white fungus lotus seed soup and put it on the table, and the young lady was very angry in the past two days.

"Well, I'll eat it later." Zhou Xiya continued to flip through the account book in her hand without raising her head, and her head was wrinkled, and she could see that the content on the account book was not very pleasant, and she lost money.

"Miss, uncle and lady let the slave take good care of you, if you are disobedient, the slave and maid can write a letter to complain." Jinxiu snatched the account book from Zhou Xiya's hand.

"It's really getting bolder, sue? My aunt and uncle are now in the deep mountains and old forests, where can I go to receive your letter? Zhou Xiya rubbed her forehead and smiled.

"Hehe, Miss, the slave just said that, since you don't watch it, let's eat something quickly, you haven't eaten much for dinner." Jinxiu hurriedly pushed the dishes and chopsticks over to flattering and smiled.

"Okay, I'll eat, has the interrogation between Mama Liu and Steward Qian come to fruition?" Zhou Xiwan picked up the spoon and took a sip, the sweet taste was so delicious, and the craftsmanship of the piano was really good, much better than Jinxiu.

"I've already asked all of them, and now the two of them are waiting outside for a report, the slave doesn't hold something for Miss to eat first, otherwise she won't be able to eat anything when she listens to things." Jinxiu looked at Zhou Xiya with a weak heart, she made her own opinion, Miss will not be unhappy.

"Self-asserted girl, your young lady and I are not glassy, I will be broken when I touch it, what is this thing? No matter how bloody things are, I can still eat, go and call them in. Zhou Xiya glared at Jinxiu, what did this girl think of her? Is it a weak little white flower? She had participated in small-scale battles with her eldest brother, and in order to ambush the enemy, she had not experienced the days of eating dry food that was harder than a stone in a pile of weeds, even if the dry food was stained with the blood of the enemy, in order to fill her stomach, she had to grit her teeth and eat it.

Mama Liu and Steward Qian walked in, "Sit down" Zhou Xiya asked the two to sit down, "What did you ask?" ”

"Miss, Cui's mouth is very tight, the slave maid took a long time to let her speak, but asked some things, but the truth remains to be verified, Cui has been in charge of the kitchen over the years, Bai has always told her to squeeze the oil and water in the kitchen, the people in the house eat not well, less than twice a month to eat meat, usually not even a little meat star, but on the purchase documents, are all purchased good melons, fruits and vegetables fresh meat, these money are taken away by Bai, this is only the part of the people in the house, Every year, the Bai family can make a large amount of money, only the Bai mother and daughter in the house, in order to win the good reputation of being diligent and thrifty, the Bai family's external menu is not luxurious, but the Bai mother and daughter secretly eat very expensive mountain and sea delicacies, these are all things handled by the Cui family. Mama Liu said.

"This is what the Bai family will do, she looks like a diligent and thrifty housekeeper to the outside world, in fact, she is more extravagant than anyone else, but no matter how well she dresses up and eats well, it can't change the little family spirit in her, she was born as a concubine, what good upbringing can she get." Zhou Xiya gently turned the spoon in her hand and sneered.

"Steward Sun's tone is very tight, and he hasn't asked for any favorable information yet, the old slave has already let people torture him, and now it depends on how long he can resist." Steward Qian was a little ashamed, because he was incompetent and failed to complete the things that the eldest lady explained.

"It's okay, if Steward Sun speaks easily, I won't believe what he said, tell them that when Steward Sun is tortured, while Cui's side is watching, I'll see what this pair of wild mandarin ducks can say." Zhou Xiya's eyes rolled, and there was a way, sometimes you can know what you want to know without being punished, and beating can't solve the problem.

Mama Liu and Steward Qian glanced at each other, the eldest lady was smart, Steward Sun cared about Cui's, and Cui's cared more about Steward Sun, they absolutely couldn't stand watching each other be punished.

"Steward Qian, you have also seen these stewards in the house today, and the rest will be handed over to you, pick out the available people for me as soon as possible, and replace the useless ones for me." Zhou Xiya directly ordered that she should control everything in the mansion as soon as possible.

"Yes, the old slave understands," Steward Qian nodded.

"Miss, the things that are going to pay respects to Madame tomorrow have been arranged." Mama Zhou came in to inform.

"Okay, I know, it's not too early, you all go down, Mama Zhou stays." Zhou Xiya waved her hand and asked the money housekeeper to leave.

Steward Qian had just walked out of the inner courtyard, and happened to meet Zhou Jianxiong, who had just returned home, "Master"

"Well, is the eldest lady resting?" Zhou Jianxiong asked casually.

"Not yet, the eldest lady just finished dealing with some things." Steward Qian replied respectfully.

"I heard, you cooperate well with the eldest lady to do things, as long as you do well, I will not treat you badly, the eldest lady is still young after all, you should mention her more." Zhou Jianxiong's sword eyebrows were slightly raised, there were naturally his people in the house, he had just heard what his daughter was doing today, since his daughter chose not to tell him, then he still pretended not to know, but he would arrange for someone to protect his daughter's safety, and he still needed his daughter to break in by herself, he couldn't always protect his daughter under his wings, so that his daughter couldn't grow up, he wouldn't be a woman to raise his daughter, but he had his own way to cultivate his daughter's independence.

As for the Bai family, the last time the Bai family came to bring him supper, he originally wanted to warn the Bai family to settle down, but when he saw his daughter, he gave up this idea and let his daughter compete with the Bai family, which will help his daughter's growth, and he will protect his daughter in secret.

"The old slave doesn't dare, the eldest lady is smart, decisive, and has the demeanor of a general, and it is the luck of the old slave to follow such a master." Steward Qian hurriedly said humbly.

"My daughter, how can it be bad" The corners of Zhou Jianxiong's mouth curled.
