Li Shi almost fainted in his heart, the second wife was accusing her of treating Mengbao, a dignified young lady, as a slave.

Although this is true, being pointed out in person like this is like a slap in the face, but she can only bear it.

The old lady looked at the Li family's gaze and couldn't sink it, and ordered: "Bring the subordinates in the mansion who are responsible for distributing the monthly order." ”

After a while, a mother and two maids were brought up, and they didn't know what was happening in the room, so they had to kneel on the ground timidly and say nothing.

"The young lady's monthly case for this half a year can be issued?"

The old lady asked in a deep voice.

The mother was stunned, and then hurriedly nodded: "It's been sent, one or two are a lot, like a few sent." ”

Everyone in the room was silent for a while, and the old lady continued to ask: "This morning, the red note went to you to get this month's monthly order, and it was also sent to her?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

"Bold!"

Two voices sounded in unison, one was Mother Xu next to the old lady, and the other was Baozhu who had been silent standing beside Mengbao.

Just now she didn't understand what the young lady and the red note were doing, and she was secretly happy that the red note was going to be killed with a cane, but who knew that things took a turn for the worse, and in a blink of an eye, it became like this.

She finally realized that this was Miss's strategy, just to punish Gao's mother.

She was sure that she and the young lady were now in the upper hand, and her arrogant nature was exposed again, and she yelled in front of everyone.

Mengbao was startled by her again, and the other people in the room obviously didn't expect her to suddenly make a sound, and looked at her a little inexplicably.

Mother Xu is an old lady, and she is highly respected in the Hou Mansion, and she can speak reasonably.

But Mengbao is a junior, if she speaks herself, it will be fine, and the maid next to her will not speak well.

Baozhu didn't feel it, and was still accusing: "The red note didn't receive the monthly case at all this morning, the old lady just found out, but you said that it was sent to her, what is the intention!" ”

"Orb!"

Mengbao was slightly annoyed, called her, and motioned for her to be silent.

Baozhu refused, and continued: "Young lady, don't be kind enough to cover them up, what kind of days have we spent in Jingxin Yuan in the past six months?" It's just a matter of gnawing steamed buns and pickles, and even the three hundred taels of silver a month are greedy for ink by them, and they can't do anything! ”

"Shut up!"

"It was meant to be! I didn't give out the money and didn't give me food, and the subordinates were all transferred, leaving only me and the red note, and there were so many things in the yard......"

"I'll shut you up!"

Mengbao was also really angry and scolded loudly.

Baozhu had never seen her yell at herself like this, her eyes were red for a while, and she was full of grievances, but she really didn't dare to say anything more.

Mengbao had a headache, and if she continued to yell like this, she became unreasonable, and she knew that she wouldn't bring her with her.

The mother and the two maids who were in charge of distributing the monthly orders heard that the old lady had found out, and they were so frightened that they hurriedly kowtowed and confessed.

"It's not about the slave and maid, old lady, the slave and maid are bold and don't dare to pay three hundred taels of silver per month, the monthly case of Jingxin Yuan has always been taken away by Gao's mother, and the slave doesn't know if she sent it or not......

"Yes, yes, Jingxinyuan's share has always been led by Gao's mother, and it really has nothing to do with slaves and maids......"

The other two maids also hurriedly cleared up.

Gao's mother knew that she could not escape the responsibility, so she could only look at Li: "The eldest lady saves the slave and maid, and the slave and maid are all according to your ......"

With a crisp snap, Li stepped forward and slapped Gao's mother in the face, Gao's mother's face was swollen, blood overflowed from the corners of her mouth, her ears were buzzing, her tongue was wooden, and she couldn't speak for a while.

"Good you bastard! He did such a thing behind my back! The harmful Mengbao has suffered for half a year! If you don't kill you today, I'm sorry for these sins suffered by Mengbao! Drag her out for me! ”

The two servants, who had been waiting aside, hurried up to drag people again.

"Mother," Mengbao was still very resistant to this kind of thing that would kill people at every turn, and pleaded: "The second brother and younger brother and sister have just gotten married, and it is really unlucky to see blood at this time, and there is no need to be in a bad mood for that subordinate, I think it is better to sell a few boards." ”

"Just do what Mengbao said."

Without waiting for Li to speak, the old lady made a decision for her.

The two servants dragged the dizzy mother Gao down, and several people who were responsible for distributing the monthly rites were also punished accordingly and taken away, leaving only the big room of the Hou Mansion and the people in the second and third rooms in the room, and the loss of honor just now was also covered up.

"Mengbao is well off now, it's time to move back to Zhuxi Garden, and the people who should be dialed over should be dialed over, don't let me hear any more rumors that I shouldn't hear."

"Although I haven't been in charge of the affairs of the mansion over the years, it doesn't mean that I am too old to have the strength to manage it, if you don't manage it well, I don't mind moving my old bones to worry about the Hou Mansion for a few more years."

The old lady glanced at Li and said, this is not only a warning, but also means that there will be no more investigation of why Jingxinyuan has only two subordinates.

But her words still startled the Li family, the second and third wives, and the handkerchief in her hand was tightly twisted.

The second wife and the third wife hoped to suppress the Li family and get the housekeeping power into their own hands, but they never thought of returning it to the old lady.

The Li family's housekeeper can still sneak around and rub a little oil and water, but if the old lady is the housekeeper, it will be no fun.

Who in the house doesn't know the old lady's skills, if she really takes back the housekeeping rights, it is a good thing, and she has a sophisticated wrist, no one wants to take advantage of it.

Everyone was silent, Li wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said again and again that he would not be in the future, and she would take care of the Hou Mansion in an orderly manner, so that the old lady could worship the Buddha with peace of mind.

The old lady nodded, looked at Dingnanhou, who had been closing her eyes and resting, and frowned: "We have been talking noisily for a long time, and you are still in the mood to close your eyes and recuperate!" ”

Master Hou seemed to have settled down, as if he hadn't heard the old lady talking to him.

Li Shi tugged at his sleeve, he came back to his senses, and the old god said on the ground: "Mother, these things in the house are taken care of by other people, so don't worry about that, it's not good for your body." ”

Dingnanhou has been committed to self-cultivation and self-cultivation all these years to become an immortal, and he has a state of not asking about the world, and he naturally doesn't ask about these trivial things in the house, so those disturbances just now were automatically blocked by him, and he was completely in the realm of selflessness.

The old lady was even more angry, but she was helpless, his son couldn't be supported, and he could only live in the shadow of his ancestors for so many years.

Fortunately, the grandson fought for his anger and made some achievements in serving abroad, without losing the face of his ancestors.

It's just that he is away all the year round and doesn't come back often, and he doesn't know when he will be able to hold his great-grandson.

Thinking like this, her gaze unconsciously drifted to Mengbao's lower abdomen.
