Just when the atmosphere was a little delicate, Lu Zhu came in and reported: "Hou Ye and Aunt Qin are here." ”

Meng Youyou put down the dishes and chopsticks, rinsed his mouth, and went to the outhouse. Xue Pingping also hurriedly followed, wondering in his heart what his father was doing with Qin Jiaojiao at this time?

Hou Ye Xue Fugui and concubine Qin Jiaojiao were sitting on the main seat respectively, and Zi Sandalwood was serving them tea.

As soon as Xue Fugui picked up the teacup, he saw his son coming from the back room after Meng Youyou.

Today, Xue Pingping came back from the palace and brought back a carriage of rewards, all of which were priceless good things, this matter had spread all over the house from the mouth of the porter, Xue Fugui was the last to know, he wanted to go to his son and ask what was going on, but he didn't expect his son to come to Xiushui Courtyard as soon as he returned home.

Xue Fugui originally wanted the little maid to pass on a message and let Xue Pingping go to Qingfeng Courtyard to see him, but he didn't know which tendon Qin Jiaojiao had taken wrong, so he had to force him to come to Mengyouyou now and take back the housekeeper's rights.

Which tendon did Qin Jiaojiao take wrong? But when she heard the words of the people, she went to the treasury to check the rewards, and her eyes were red and her heart was uncomfortable. Those good things, they should have been hers! As long as the Hou Ye wants the housekeeping back and hands it over to her, everything in the house will be hers!

Xue Fugui waited for Meng Youyou to salute him, but he didn't expect that it was Xue Pingping who took the lead and saluted him, "Dad, I don't know what happened to you coming?" I'm about to finish my meal and go to you! ”

Meng Youyou followed Xue Pingping and squatted down, but did not speak.

Qin Jiaojiao waited on the side for Xue Pingping and Meng Youyou to salute her, but after waiting for a long time, no one paid attention to her at all, and she was treated as air, she was annoyed, but in front of the Hou Ye, it was not easy to have a seizure, and she had to look like an elder, with a kind and false smile on her face.

Xue Fugui smiled a little embarrassed when he heard his son's question, he couldn't say it, they were here to ask Meng Youyou to hand over the housekeeping. I had to say haha: "I heard that you have been rewarded by the emperor, you are good, you really deserve to be my Xue Fugui's son!" ”

"In the future, I will go to the palace every day on an errand, and you can be regarded as colleagues with your father, haha!" Xue Pingping said with some pride.

"Good, good! It used to be that Dad underestimated you. In the future, the task of the Glorious Marquis Mansion can be entrusted to you with confidence. Xue Fugui felt that his son made him proud, and on the other hand, he was sad for his inaction.

Qin Jiaojiao saw that Xue Fugui hadn't talked about the topic for a long time, and couldn't help but speak: "We came over because we have something to discuss with you." ”

"Oh, what's the matter with Aunt Qin?" Meng Youyou took over and asked.

"A few days ago, Mrs. Hou suddenly fell ill and couldn't be a director, the young lady managed the affairs of the house on her behalf, and she worked very hard, although I am just an aunt, but after all, I am an elder, and I can't watch you work so hard, so I came here to ......"

"Do you want stewardship? No problem, since Master Hou is also here, then explain all these things clearly today. Without waiting for her high-sounding words to finish, Meng Youyou took it and pointed out her intention.

Xue Fugui's face was red and white for a while, and Qin Jiaojiao's appearance was too ugly.

Xue Pingping glanced at Qin Jiaojiao and said: "We are juniors, we should do more things for the mansion, Youyou manages the Hou Mansion very well, Aunt Qin just serves my father well, and you don't have to worry about other things." ”

"Xue Pingping! Don't you take me in your eyes, and don't you put Hou Ye in your eyes? In this house, who has the final say? Qin Jiaojiao heard Xue Pingping's refusal, and couldn't help but raise her voice and lift the Hou Ye out to press him.

"Jiaojiao!" Hou Ye snorted lightly, Qin Jiaojiao pouted, glanced at Xue Fugui dissatisfiedly, and took a step back from him.

Xue Fugui smiled and said to Xue Pingping and Meng Youyou: "In the past few days, Aunt Qin has seen that Youyou goes out early and returns late every day, and it is strange and hard, so she wants to help her share some of it. If you don't want to, forget it, ah. After speaking, she turned around to leave, raised her eyes to look at Qin Jiaojiao, Qin Jiaojiao's eyes were bloodshot, she stood motionless, looking at the posture, if she couldn't get the housekeeping today, she wouldn't leave!

Xue Fugui had a big head for a while, and he didn't leave, nor did he stay.

Meng Youyou stepped forward and said, "Father-in-law, don't be in a hurry. I have already thought about this matter, my dowry, I am in charge of myself, and we are in charge of the people and things in our yard. The affairs in the house will be handed over to your father-in-law, and you will hand it over to Aunt Qin or anyone else, we don't even ask, but Mrs. Hou, you have to take care of it. Meng Youyou looked at Hou Ye's face, Hou Ye seemed to be a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer, Meng Youyou continued: "I'll go get the key and the account book." ”

When Meng Youyou turned around and entered the inner room, Xue Fugui slowly spit out: "Is this going to split up?" ”

Xue Pingping replied: "Isn't this Aunt Qin wanting to take care of the house?" She can't even take care of the dowry! ”

Qin Jiaojiao wants to take care of it, those industries are eye-popping when they look at it, but right now, it's good to be able to get the housekeeping right, there are always some good things in the public warehouse, not to mention anything else, just the ones that Xue Pingping brought back today are enough to spend a lifetime.

Xue Pingping saw Qin Jiaojiao's eyes turn left and right, a smug smile appeared on his face, and he said loudly: "Youyou didn't want to take care of these things in the house, but I promised her that all my things would be in her hands, and the rewards I brought back today would go to her private treasury." ”

Meng Youyou happened to come back, and when he heard his words, he thought to himself, he was very familiar and heavy.

Qin Jiaojiao took the account book of Gongzhong, opened it, and asked ugly: "How can there be such a big Hou Mansion, and there is no one on the account?" Did you swallow it privately? ”

"The accounts are all clearly remembered, you take a closer look. There is a huge Hou Mansion, and the consumption is also large, and the Hou Ye's income is only enough to maintain daily expenses, and what is going on in the house is all subsidized from my dowry. After Meng Youyou finished with an expressionless face, she let Qin Jiaojiao grit her teeth and feel depressed.

Qin Jiaojiao opened the account book of the warehouse again, and saw that all the things listed on it were some pots and pans, tables, chairs and benches and other mundane things, and there was no rare thing, she was even more disappointed, and she was furious, she roared at Mengyouyou: "You did it on purpose!" I don't believe it, the hundred-year-old Hou Mansion can't have no treasures! ”

Xue Fugui on the side, his face changed from embarrassment to disappointment, and then he smiled weakly: "Don't go crazy here!" Don't you want stewardship all your heart, and now that you get it, you won't leave?! ”

"Xue Fugui, you wretched, liar!"

Xue Fugui didn't care what Qin Jiaojiao scolded, and pulled her out, but Qin Jiaojiao broke free of his hand, ran to Xue Pingping, and said in a mournful voice: "Young master, Brother Ping, can you bear to see me live so pitifully?" You have done all this, you have to make it up to me! There was grievance in his red eyes, and tears rolled down his face.

Xue Pingping couldn't figure out what kind of madness this woman was, why did he harm her? Wasn't it her own choice?

Meng Youyou sneered on the side, covered her mouth with her hands, and said: "Aunt Qin, you can't live by your own evil, you can live a quiet life with Hou Ye for a few days, and then toss like this......" If you toss like this, you will annoy Hou Ye, and maybe you will be driven out.

Qin Jiaojiao wanted to get something from Xue Pingping, Xue Fugui felt that it was too embarrassing, so he dragged Qin Jiaojiao away in the past, and let her shout.
