"Does Master Hou suspect that the concubine has cut off Lan Xiaoniang's supply in private?"

Guo Xiaoniang stopped what she was doing, walked to the edge of the stool next to Mu Hou Ye, sat down gently, and said with a face full of grievances: "Hou Ye is actually suspicious of the concubine, the concubine has been taking care of Mu Mansion for five years, if there is anything inappropriate, Hou Ye has already heard gossip over the years, why is he wronging me now." ”

As she spoke, Guo Xiaoniang's tears fell down and she continued to cry: "Although the concubine is a concubine in the Earl's Mansion, she can also be a wife, if she wasn't infatuated with the Hou Ye back then, how could she ignore everyone's shame and be a concubine in this Mu Mansion for so many years." ”

Seeing Guo Xiaoniang's tears in her eyes, Muhou Ye thought of her grievances, and said softly: "I'm not suspicious of you, it's just that you are taking care of this inner house after all, and the people don't understand the rules, so I always have to ask you." ”

Guo Xiaoniang choked and said: "Hou Ye has always worked hard in the court, and the concubine doesn't want to worry about Hou Ye because of the trivial matters in the inner house over the years, so she has never said anything to Hou Ye. ”

Guo Xiaoniang gently wiped the tears on her face and continued: "The concubine has been in the mansion for many years, and she has always been just a concubine. After the death of the eldest lady, Hou Ye never mentioned that he would raise the concubine as his wife and become the head of the house in this house. Although the concubine is unhappy in her heart, as long as she can be with the Hou Ye, what is the reputation. ”

Hearing Guo Xiaoniang say the name, Mu Houye's heart hurt, and he felt a little guilty in the end. If he hadn't expressed his friendship with Guo Xiaoniang back then, Guo Xiaoniang would not have waited for him for many years, and finally could only enter the house as a concubine.

Guo Xiaoniang continued: "After the eldest lady passed away, she was trusted by the marquis and handed over the power of the inner house to the concubine. Our Mufu has been honored for generations, and most of the people in the mansion are old people who have used it for decades.

Over the years, they have been respectful to the concubine on the surface, and they don't know how many ugly things they have said in private, but the concubine has never cared about these subordinates who chew their tongues, as long as they do things well, they will let them go.

Hou Ye just said that Lan Yuexuan was cut off from supply, and the concubine really didn't know.

In fact, even if he knew, he could only turn a blind eye and gently punish those old people in the mansion to make up for Lan Yuexuan's example. After speaking, Guo Xiaoniang cried with a whimper.

Mu Hou Ye sighed: "You should have told me these things a long time ago. ”

"The concubine just wants Hou Ye to handle official affairs with peace of mind, and she doesn't have any selfish intentions, please let Hou Ye know it." Guo Xiaoniang choked up.

Mu Hou Ye patted Guo Xiaoniang's back and comforted: "Okay, don't cry, blame me, the eldest lady was worried about her work before, and it was not for no reason that she thought about it." This huge mansion is already intricate and difficult to take care of, and it is indeed not easy for you to manage it for so many years. ”

Guo Xiaoniang leaned on Mu Hou Ye's shoulder and said softly: "Hou Ye can understand and trust the concubine, no matter how big the grievance is, it is not a grievance." ”

Mu Hou Ye and Guo Xiaoniang kept warm for a while, and then they heard the voice of Steward Cao outside the door. Mu Hou Ye reluctantly let go of his hand, Guo Xiaoniang sat back on the seat next to her, and tidied up a little.

Mu Houye cleared his throat and said, "Come in." ”

"Master Hou, everything has been taken care of. It's just Guo Xiaoniang's side, and the little one hasn't had time to say it yet. Steward Cao leaned over and said to Master Mu.

Mu Hou Ye waved his hand, turned to look at Guo Xiaoniang, and said: "You asked someone to make up for Lan Yuexuan's due share, seeing that the year is over, Lan Xiaoniang's health is not good, and the matter of the three-month silver penalty mentioned before will be settled." ”

"Yes, the concubines are all at the mercy of the Hou Ye." Guo Xiaoniang obeyed.
