The old lady's face sank, took her hand, and said

"Xi'er, you are the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, originally the power of the housekeeper should be yours, you were young before, and Aunt Gu has always managed it on your behalf, but I didn't expect her to be so overwhelmed, you are now thirteen years old, not young, grandmother believes that you can do a good job."

"Grandmother, granddaughter feels that she doesn't have this ability now, it's better to hand over the right to the housekeeper to Aunt Mei first, after all, the granddaughter has not yet reached Sheng, and she doesn't understand anything, if she doesn't do it well, won't she live up to her grandmother's expectations, and granddaughter heard that Aunt Mei has not yet left the cabinet, so she took on the responsibility of managing the family alone, besides, Aunt Mei has been in the house for so many years, and she has learned a lot, grandmother might as well give Aunt Mei a chance, if Aunt Mei can't do well, then it's not too late for grandmother to hand over to her granddaughter."

Hearing Su Yexi's words, the old lady and Prime Minister Su Cheng both nodded in agreement, patted her hands, and said lovingly: "Okay, since Xi'er you have said so, grandmother can't force you, just follow your wishes, if Qianxue can't do it well, then you have to bear this heavy responsibility."

Su Yexi smiled playfully and said, "Yes, grandmother."

"Haha, you girl......"

Gu Qingwei clenched the silk handkerchief in her hand, her eyes were full of resentment, Su Xinran hurriedly stroked her shoulder, calmed down, Su Zhengnan's sword eyebrows were deeply furrowed, a layer of cold ice was covered under his eyes, his eyes fell on Cuizhu's body, and his face suddenly turned cold.

"Cuizhu, what else do you have to say now, you dare to unite with outsiders to break into the Prime Minister's Mansion without permission, and hurt the eldest lady, the Prime Minister must not spare you, Steward Chen, take her down to beat the eighty boards, if she is alive, she will be allowed to continue to stay in the mansion, if she is dead, bury her anywhere."

"Yes, Xiangye."

Cuizhu's face suddenly turned pale, looking at Gu Qingwei, as if grasping a life-saving straw, clutching the corner of her skirt tightly, crying silently: "Aunt Gu, you save me, I don't want to die, I don't want to die, for the sake of the slave and maid for many years, you save the slave and the maid, save the slave and the maid......"

Gu Qingwei was originally unwilling to be robbed of the right to be a housekeeper, Cuizhu was trained by her, and she had to keep her no matter what!

Gu Qingwei forcibly suppressed the resentment in her heart, a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, and said

"Xiangye, Cuizhu is still young, no matter what she does, can Xiangye spare her life, is the eighty big board too heavy......"

"Enough, don't say it, no one is allowed to intercede for her, otherwise they will be punished together!"

Su Zhengnan looked at Gu Qingwei meaningfully, with a tough attitude, Gu Qingwei has always been smart, and she understood what he meant when she looked at him, she rubbed the knitted handkerchief in her hand, looked at Cuizhu and shook her head regretfully.

Cuizhu suddenly despaired, she knew Aunt Gu too well, it seemed that she was going to give up on her, she closed her eyes, tears crossed her face, it didn't matter, it was just eighty boards, as long as she persevered and healed her injuries, she could still stay by her aunt's side.

Su Yexi sneered in her heart, Cuizhu is Gu Qingwei's personal maid, if she doesn't have her permission, who will believe it, I'm afraid that her father will definitely have nothing to do with Gu Qingwei if she knows about it, so in order to protect her, she can only sacrifice Cuizhu, it's really a good calculation, but she, Su Yexi, won't forget it so easily!

"Wait, father, my daughter still has something to ask Cuizhu."

Su Zhengnan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, if she hadn't asked just now, why did she have so many things, and said unhappily

"I think I've almost asked what you're going to ask, and the truth has been revealed, so it's so late that you might as well go back and rest."

Su Yexi smiled like a flower, but there was a hint of ridicule in her eyes.

"Father, you only know that this matter was done by Cuizhu, but you haven't asked her why she wants to collude with foreign thieves, besides, if she is a little maid, if there is no other person's instructions, where can she be so bold."

As she spoke, she glanced at Gu Qingwei meaningfully, Su Zhengnan looked displeased, but he had already said so, he snorted coldly and did not speak.

Su Yexi smiled, but her eyes were like swords, staring at Cuizhu coldly: "Cuizhu, let me ask you, can someone instruct you in this matter?" ”

Cuizhu held her hands on the ground, her head was slightly lowered, her eyes were empty, and she said in despair: "No, it was all done by the slave and maid." ”

Su Yexi couldn't help but chuckle, and a trace of coldness crossed her eyes: It's all this time, and you're still so heartfelt, I'd rather put all the responsibility on yourself, okay, then let's see if the people you protect with your life are worth it!

Su Yexi's face was cold, and he said sharply: "You did it alone?" So why are you doing this? ”

Cuizhu opened her pale lips, and her voice was desperate:

"The slave maid is dissatisfied with the eldest lady relying on her identity as a concubine to embarrass Aunt Gu everywhere, Qin'er told me two days ago that the eldest lady will go to see Madame that night.

So, the slave maid thought that if the prime minister knew, the eldest lady would definitely be punished, and in order to help Aunt Gu get angry, the slave maid took advantage of the time when she went out to buy, and found bangs, so that he could sneak into the prime minister's mansion tonight, and then lead the prime minister to Xunyou Garden, then the eldest lady would be discovered, and the slave and maid would be able to help the aunt get angry. ”

Su Yexi stared at her for a moment, her eyes were cold and deep, as if she was floating from the edge of the ice cliff in the cold winter, with an indescribable chill.

Gu Qingwei looked at Cuizhu coldly, she was still acquainted, this set of rhetoric was really seamless.

Su Yexi lightly opened her lips, and her tone was slightly cold: "It's really a good slave with a heartfelt heart, I had already found out that something was wrong with Qin'er, so I deliberately said that, I wanted to see what she would do, but I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't expect that the maid next to Aunt Gu would use this matter to calculate me."

Cuizhu, why do you want to be like this, you still have a weak old mother and a young sister at home, you treat me like this, haven't you thought about the consequences of being exposed? ”

As she spoke, Su Yexi's eyes were hazy with tears, and she leaned closely against the old lady, crying and crying

"I am the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, my words and deeds represent the Prime Minister's Mansion, it's not that Xi'er is disrespectful to her aunt, but, my aunt calls herself a mother to Xi'er every time, but Xi'er's mother is still there, and she is the grandmother of the Prime Minister's Mansion, if it is spread out, the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion calls her aunt her mother, there is no distinction between respect and inferiority, and it hurts the Prime Minister's Mansion, father, grandmother's face is good, so Xi'er said a few more words about her aunt, but she didn't expect that her aunt would be remembered and framed Xi'er so much."

The old lady looked distressed and comforted Su Yexi.

Gu Qingwei's face sank immediately, and she said coldly

"The eldest lady should pay attention to one thing when she speaks, this matter is done by me, a maid, what does it have to do with me, she relies on my love for her, she is so bold and reckless, colluding with foreign thieves to frame the eldest lady, she must be punished well!"

"Auntie, you ......"

Cuizhu looked at Gu Qingwei in disbelief, she understood that this time the matter was revealed, and no one could save her, so she took the blame and exonerated Aunt Gu, but she didn't expect that she was so heartfelt for her, in exchange for her such ruthless treatment.

Cuizhu cried sadly, thinking of all the things in the past, she had followed Aunt Gu for so many years, along the way, she had done a lot of things for her, and she treated people who were beneficial to her, but once she threatened her people, she did not hesitate to give up, yes, isn't Yuanhe an example?

Although Yuanhe is not as good at doing things as she is, the days of following Aunt Gu are not short, and she is still not abandoned?

It's that she thinks too highly of herself, thinking of this, thinking that there is a weak old mother at home, and the young sister needs her, Aunt Gu is so ruthless and unsympathetic, why does she still work so hard?

A trace of coldness crossed Cuizhu's eyes, Aunt Gu, since you are unkind, don't blame me!

"No, eldest lady, in fact, it was actually Aunt Gu who instructed me to do it, it was she who resented Madame, resented that the eldest lady occupied the position of the concubine and blocked the way of the third young lady, so she always wanted to get rid of the eldest lady, and the slave maid was just acting on orders, hoping that the eldest lady would be gracious."
