After the autumn trial, Cui Jingshi surpassed Yan Ran as she wished and got the first place.

Therefore, Cui Jingshi, who has been low-key for a long time, has once again appeared in the public's field of vision.

However, Cui Jingshi's popularity did not last long, because an even more shocking event happened in Anyang City.

Prince Rui's heir, Wang Su Fan, was rumored to be suffering from flower willow disease.

Because Su Pan likes to look for flowers and ask willows on weekdays, and the name of the flower is outside, the authenticity of this rumor is still very recognized.

Qingxuan asked puzzledly: "Girl, Prince Rui's heir is just suffering from ordinary warts, why did you pass on the news to Cui Jingshi that he was suffering from Hualiu disease?" In this way, Cui Jingshi spread this rumor, this marriage can't be done anyway, wouldn't it just fulfill her wish? ”

Yan Ran chuckled and said, "I just want to help Cui Jingshi, so that I can push her to Xiao Zun's side as soon as possible!" ”

Although Cui Jingshi breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, the crisis of marrying her relatives had not been resolved, so she naturally had to hurry up and think about marrying her beloved.

However, the revenge she framed Su Fan's reputation, Prince Rui will not forget.

And when Cui Jingshi and Xiao Zun become a community of interests, the fire of Prince Rui's anger will also burn on Xiao Zun's body.

Xiao Zun is a prince with the right to seek ambitions, and Cui Jingshi has her back against the big tree of the Cui family.

Yan Ran wants to deal with the two of them, and it won't work on his own, so he can only borrow a few more knives.

Yan Ran was talking to Qingxuan, and Xian Luo came in and said, "Girl, the monthly silver has been delivered, but it is less than half of last month." ”

Qingxuan furrowed her brows, and said sarcastically: "What does Madam mean by this, is it possible to cut the expenses of the mansion again?" ”

Yan Ran also felt strange.

She knew that the Wen family did not have enough money now, but the Wen family would never dare to publicize the misappropriation of the money spent in the house, so she could only slap her swollen face and become fat.

Even if she uses her private house to supplement her family, she will constantly make moves to cut expenses to arouse suspicion.

After all, the Wen family had used the excuse of following the Zhonggong Province to reduce the expenses of the palace, but they were reprimanded by Master Yan and explicitly forbidden.

And if the Wen family was waiting for an opportunity to take revenge because they suspected Yan Ran of poisoning Yan Yao, and wanted to treat her secretly, they shouldn't be so blatant.

Yan Ran thought for a while and said to Qingxuan: "You send the silver back and ask the reason." ”

Qingxuan quickly went and returned, and said depressedly: "Girl, the second girl is sick again, the house is in chaos, and the lady has no time to pay attention to the slave maid." ”

Yan Ran sneered, knowing in her heart.

It seems that the Wen family wants to take advantage of Yan Yao's illness to take advantage of the chaos to deduct Yan Ran's use.

So Yan Ran wanted to reason with Wen, but she couldn't find anyone.

If she went to find Master Yan, she would probably only get a perfunctory sentence asking her to go to the Wen family to solve it.

Yan Ran snorted lightly and said indifferently: "Then put away this silver first, don't move." ”

Yan Ran instructed Qingxuan to put away the monthly silver as it was, thinking that she would go to Wen's theory when she was free in a few days.

Wen still wants to bully her with the same methods as before, no way!

However, Yan Ran was now the most short of silver to spend, so she quickly forgot about it.

Although Yan Ran forgot, Wen didn't forget, and still wanted to remind her of the law.

Qingxuan came back with a stack of new clothes, and complained angrily: "Girl, the painting and embroidery sent winter clothes. The slave thought that this dress had passed through the hands of many people, and she had to wash it first, but she accidentally scratched the clothes and found that it was old silk cotton! Which family will use old silk cotton to make new clothes for girls, and it is not too cold, isn't this a clear bully for us? ”

Hearing this, Yan Ran thought for a moment and asked, "Do other courtyards have the same situation?" Or is it just our Qionghua Academy? ”

Qingxuan was slightly stunned, and immediately said: "The slave will go and check!" ”

Before Qingxuan walked out of the courtyard gate, she was intercepted by Mama Sun.

Yan Ran got up and said, "Grandma Sun, why are you here, but there is something wrong with grandmother?" ”

Mama Sun said: "Big girl, the old lady sent the old slave over to ask, is there a difference in the monthly silver of Qionghua Academy?" ”

Yan Ran was slightly surprised, since Grandma Sun asked so, it means that the monthly silver of Hongfu Yuan has also decreased.

But Wen didn't say anything about adjusting the monthly silver, so he cut the amount without authorization, which really shouldn't be.

Yan Ran replied: "It's really less than usual." ”

Qingxuan added: "It's not just moon silver, the inside of the winter coat is all old silk cotton!" ”

Mama Sun's face was slightly surprised, and she said, "The old lady invites the girl to go to Hongfu Courtyard, and the old man will come over later!" ”

Yan Ran understood that this was the old lady Yan's monthly silver had also decreased, and she wanted to ask the Wen family for the crime.

She asked Grandma Sun to come to ask Yan Ran in advance, in order to make a good confession with her.

Yan Ran couldn't help but wonder, what was the Wen family going to do?

Yan Ran came to Hongfu Courtyard with Grandma Sun, and chatted with Mrs. Yan for a while, and Master Yan came over, but Wen had not yet appeared.

Seeing that the Wen family came later than him, Master Yan couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and said to his subordinates angrily: "Go and ask Madame to come over!" ”

At this moment, Wen was late.

Wen wore an autumn-colored dress, her makeup was dull, but the tiredness on her face made her look dull.

When Master Yan saw Wen with this appearance at first glance, he wanted to be angry, but he couldn't help it, but he still asked angrily, "Why did you come?" ”

Wen apologized: "Master, Yao'er has just become ill again, and the concubine can't leave for a while, so it's too late." ”

Master Yan was speechless for a while.

Yan Yao was raised by him, and he had a deeper affection for Yan Yao than Yan Ran.

So after Yan Yao was poisoned, he often visited him at the beginning.

But Yan Yao, who was sick and abrasive, was very emotionally unstable, crying, scolding, and crazy at every turn, and Master Yan's fatherly heart was quickly worn out.

He hadn't visited Yan Yao for a while, and he hadn't seen Wen who had been bent on his daughter for many days, and he suddenly felt a little weak and guilty.

Wen asked, "Master, I don't know why I called my concubine?" ”

Only then did Master Yan remember what was going on, so he helped Mrs. Yan and Yan Ran to speak: "The usage of Hongfu Courtyard and Qionghua Courtyard has been cut, what's going on?" ”

Wen Shi was surprised: "How is this possible, I have never cut any use in the house!" ”

Old Madam Yan sneered: "You didn't cut it, can't the silver fly with long legs?" ”

Wen's face was still full of disbelief, and he said to Huaxiu: "Huaxiu, bring the account book, I want to check the accounts!" ”

Huaxiu quickly took the account book, and after Wen checked it, he found that the accounts were correct, but the use of Hongfu Yuan and Qionghua Yuan was really reduced.

Wen suddenly said angrily: "Painting and embroidery, what's going on?" I told you a thousand times that you must be careful and careful in doing things, why did you still make such a big mistake? ”

Huaxiu immediately knelt down and said aggrievedly: "Madam, now that the second girl is sick, there are many casual little girls in Jinghua Courtyard, and the slaves and maids have to worry more." Therefore, there are some tasks that slaves and maids cannot do by themselves, and they also order their subordinates to do them. But who knows, they are so stupid that they can just send a simple errand like giving a piece of silver! The slave really deserves to die, beg the lady to punish her! ”

As he spoke, he burst into tears.

Wen's eyes were also red, and he sighed helplessly, and said to everyone: "Master, this matter is indeed the negligence of the concubine. Mother, Ran'er, don't worry, I will let someone send you the missing moon silver. ”

Wen not only said that the matter was a misunderstanding, but also promised to make up the silver, and there was nothing more to say about the achievement of Mrs. Yan's goal.

On the face of it, it seems that this incident was only caused by the negligence of the subordinates.

But Yan Ran felt that with Wen's means. It can't be that simple.

Sure enough, Wen said to Master Yan again: "Master, now Yao'er's condition has not healed, and it often recurs, I always have to take care of her, and I lack skills, which has led to a mistake in the affairs of the house." I thought, it is better for me to temporarily relieve myself of the responsibility of housekeeper before Yan Yao gets better. ”

As soon as Wen's words came out, everyone was surprised, and their faces were different.

The power of the housekeeper symbolizes the irreplaceable position of the housekeeper in the house.

For so many years, the stewardship of the Yan Mansion has been tightly held in the hands of the Wen family.

When she killed the Zhang family, in addition to jealousy, she did not have the intention of getting rid of competitors.

Yan Ran was very keen to smell an unusual and dangerous aura, but Old Madam Yan was very excited.

When Mrs. Yan was in the countryside, she was in charge of a few copper plates and a few acres of land.

After she came to the Yan Mansion, all the affairs in the mansion were in the hands of Wen's daughter-in-law, who could not be provoked.

Therefore, she has not been a housekeeper for a day, and she still has a little desire for the power of the housekeeper.

Unexpectedly, Wen proposed: "Ran'er will be in time next year, and after getting married, she will also have to manage the affairs of the house." She had been immersed in her studies, and I didn't have the opportunity to teach her how to take care of her chores. It is better to take this opportunity to hand over the power of housekeeping to her, so that she can learn the way of housekeeping, so as not to be in a hurry in the future and increase her troubles. ”

Yan Ran shouted in her heart, sure enough.

She knew that Wen's demon would be no good thing!

But Master Yan thought that this proposal was good, and immediately clapped his hand and said, "Okay, just do as you say!" Ran'er, during this time, you will manage the affairs of the house, if there is anything you don't understand, go and ask your mother. The girl's family still has to be proficient in family affairs, so that she can take on the responsibility of being a housemother in the future. ”

Old Madam Yan glanced at Yan Ran, snorted lightly, and showed a look of displeasure.

Master Yan has already made a final decision, and Yan Ran is forced to have no choice but to accept it.

Everyone else thinks that Yan Ran took on the responsibility of being a housekeeper at a young age, which is very beautiful.

But as everyone knows, there is a gloomy mist in Qionghua Courtyard.

Qingxuan said dissatisfiedly: "Girl, Wen's letting you take care of the house at this time is obviously ill-intentioned!" ”

Xian Luo sneered: "It's not just ill-intentioned, I think the Wen family wants to throw the deficit in the mansion on the girl!" ”

Yan Ran's face was calm, and she said unhurriedly: "Since the Wen family has to give me this mess, I don't mind making the water muddy!" ”
