Chapter 78: Confrontation

Only Mama Zhao and Mama Li stood beside them in the house, quietly not saying a word, Xia had already calmed down and leisurely drank the tea that the little maid had brought up again, and said with a smile when he heard Steward Zhang's words: "Steward Zhang is an old man in the house, where do you still need to ask me for this second lady?" She gritted her teeth heavily and spit out the words 'Second Lady'.

Steward Zhang hurriedly saluted again, and said in his mouth: "The old slave is frightened, and I hope that the second lady will instruct." ”

Xia sneered and said, "Don't be stupid here, most of the General's Mansion is in your hands, and you don't know what happened!" ”

"Second lady," Steward Zhang said: "The old slave has to be valued by the general, take care of the general's mansion, dare not have the slightest slack, although he does not seek merit, but only seeks no fault, the general's mansion is full of affairs, in order to be worthy of the general's appreciation, maintenance, you say this, don't you let the old slave stay in the general's mansion without a face?" ”

Because after Xuan Aoshan's death, she was the only one in the house, and the maid didn't hold it and beg for good words, her temper had long since lost her previous docile and empathetic nature.

However, since Ye Qianmo fell into the water and woke up, Xia has not experienced a smooth thing, and a few days ago she was locked up because of her nephew's affairs, and she was severely reprimanded, she was anxious and panicked.

While she secretly scolded Xia Youyan for not being successful enough and more than defeating, she was even more resentful of her mother's family for not being angry, and not telling herself the details early, which not only made her lose people in public, but also suffered the anger of the master.

Now, what the Xia family fears and hates the most is that the minions don't put her in their eyes, and they have long wanted to kill chickens and monkeys.

Xia looked at the cautious and respectful Steward Zhang, and secretly thought about it.

Rong'er said that Steward Zhang was the best candidate. Steward Zhang is the oldest, the most powerful, and the most difficult to deal with, but it is also because of this reason that no one dares to disobey her if he is restrained!

It's a big deal to tear his face with him, does he dare to deal with himself openly? Anyway, he's just a minion.

Thinking of those minions who were respectful on the surface but arranging their words behind their backs in the past few days, Xia Shi hated it so much.

Xia sneered and said, "Zhang Zhengtong, is your so-called management your own opinion?!" If I hadn't found out earlier and asked a few more questions, wouldn't you have emptied the things in the General's Mansion? ”

Steward Zhang has long had some contempt for the Xia family, and the good lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion does not say that she will marry someone else's upright wife, but she wants to marry the general as a concubine to die or live! If the third lady enters the royal palace as a side concubine, it will be forgotten, although she is a concubine, but she must be counted as a royal jade butterfly, and there is a grade.

However, no matter what happened in his heart, his face was full of surprise, and he said in surprise: "Second lady, when did the old slave make a claim?" And when did you move the things from the General's Mansion? ”

"Mama Zhao, you come to tell Steward Zhang about the good things he did!"

Mama Zhao stepped forward solemnly, staring straight at the ground with a pair of old eyes lowering her head, and explained the reason why the Xia family was angry about the dowry just now, but cleverly omitted her role in it.

Except for Mama Li, who quickly glanced up at her, the other two didn't notice the inappropriateness in her words.

Xia listened coldly and watched. However, Steward Zhang's reaction was much more than she expected.

I saw that Steward Zhang breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, straightened his body, straightened his waist, and said with a smile: "Second lady," It's not undoubtedly deliberate, every sentence that Manager Zhang said is almost a sentence with the second lady, "You misunderstood the old slave, this is what the old man ordered, let the old slave do it seriously, and it must be clean and neat,"

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and his words brought some pity: "Several young ladies have grown up, and they are about to get married, the second and third ladies have your help to take care of and prepare, of course, there will be no mistakes, but the lady died early, the eldest lady lost her mother early, although there is King Xuan to help take care of it, but this matter is not good to rely on him The old man, the master is the same as you, for fear that the next person will not care, and he will see it every once in a while, and tell the old slave not to slack off,"

Steward Zhang sneered in his heart, everyone has three points of mud, I really think he is a bully!

At the same time as he said these words, Mama Zhao and Mama Li had already taken a few steps back imperceptibly, their heads hung fiercely, and secretly complained in their hearts: Madame, don't look back to find trouble with them.

Sure enough, hearing this, Xia's anger trembled, and his lips turned purple.

What do you mean by 'the eldest lady lost her mother early'? No matter how much the Xia family hates Ye Qianmo's sister and brother in their hearts, they are all loving on the surface, and they regard themselves as Ye Qianmo's mother, isn't this a curse for her early death? ! And Lan'er and Rong'er aren't the master's biological daughters, how can the master only care about that and that woman's cheap girl?!

However, although Xia is angry, he is still a little timid in his heart, the old man generally doesn't care about these things, did he find something? The old man loved that woman so much, even if he knew that she was seriously ill, it was impossible for him not to secretly check after her death...... No, hasn't anyone found out all these years? Yes, yes, no one knows, that woman deserves to die!

Xia Shi calmed down, and then remembered that there was still a manager Zhang waiting to see her jokes, jokes, since she could unconsciously erase the shadow of that person and sit firmly in the position of the general's wife, would she be afraid of a minion?! Of course, at this time, she urgently needed confidence, and she had to ignore the word 'two' if she didn't forget it.

"Steward Zhang," she said coldly.

"Madame"

"The master personally said that he would give half of the jewelry I prepared for Lan'er to Qianmo?"

The old man only said that he wanted to take a good look at it, but he didn't say it specifically. Steward Zhang was beating a drum in his heart, but after listening to her words, he was secretly relieved, fortunately, Xia asked about this batch of jewelry first, if she asked first about the house in the south of the city, I'm afraid he would really plant it today, but, is this matter?

A sneer flashed in his eyes, but he was surprised: "The second lady is asking about the batch of jewelry that has been stored in the big warehouse for many years?" He spoke slowly, but with a heavy word, as if hesitating whether to say it or not.

Xia Shi was overjoyed and scolded solemnly: "What are you doing? Do you dare to do it? ”

"Second Lady" Steward Zhang was a little embarrassed, listened to her scolding, thought for a while, and saw that she finally lost her patience, and then said: "That batch of jewelry was brought into the General......'s Mansion when Madame got married" It means that I haven't told the master that you robbed the dowry that Madame left for the eldest lady, and gave you face, only half of it, and you are going to take me for accountability!

Xia finally remembered an incident that happened a few days ago, his hands were clenched tightly, and he didn't feel any pain when his nails were pierced into the flesh, but he hated Mama Song to death in his heart, if she was in front of her, maybe Xia would kick her a few times.

What do you say? It turned out that since the hairpin was pulled out because of the beating of the red tassel, Xia is face was embarrassed, and Mama Song was gradually alienated. In order to please Xia's self-righteous and want to be decent for her, Mama Song secretly transferred Xuan Aoshan's dowry from Xia's private treasury to the big treasury, and also made a fuss about it, of course, she only said that Xia's was good, anyway, it really made Xia's face grow for a while.

Xia Shi was comfortable, but he was still panicked about her, and he was not warm to her. Mama Zhao is another person who doesn't like her, and she sees that she puts eye medicine on the stitches in front of Xia, and Mama Song doesn't go to Xia's front for some days, so she forgets about it.

Hearing Steward Zhang's reminder, Xia remembered that she had forgotten to let people move those things again. I don't know if I was angry or ashamed, but I saw Xia Shi sigh and fainted.

As soon as they saw this situation, Mama Zhao and Mama Li were in a hurry, pinching people among the people, and sent someone to ask for a doctor anxiously shouted, no matter how many words Steward Zhang had, he felt comfortable or uncomfortable, and naturally couldn't say it, how to say it, no matter how shameful it was, no matter how contemptuous, whether it was pretending to be faint or really sick, the person above was the master.

Yes, Manager Zhang also hurriedly sent someone to invite the doctor, the doctor came, Xia went to the inner room, of course Steward Zhang couldn't follow, but he barely won the showdown.

As soon as Steward Zhang left on the front foot, the news reached Ye Qianmo on the back foot.

Hachi used a crisp voice and a gloating tone to vividly and vividly describe the scene over there.

Ye Qianmo smiled, hooked her fingers, and Hongying immediately stepped forward, Ye Qianmo whispered a few words to her, Hongying rolled her eyes and immediately ran away.

Green Willow also smiled and handed a glass of water to Hachi, who took a sip of it, so comfortable that he finished his eyes on the crescent, stuck out his tongue and smiled at her.

Since coming here, Hachi has become lively, she is not that old herself, and she is the age when she loves to play and is naughty.

"You said the jewelry belonged to my mother?"

Hachi looked at the green willow, she knew that she was not asking her about this.

Lu Liu pondered for a while and said, "The slave thinks it's possible, otherwise the Xia family wouldn't pretend to be unconscious." However, I didn't expect that Madame's things would be placed in the big warehouse, and the slave thought that they had already been moved into the Xia family's private warehouse. ”

"I ...... The slave maid knew that on the day the young lady left, there was a sudden spread in the house, saying that the lady's things had been kept in the big storeroom, and the second lady had not touched them. ”

Green Willow was stunned.

Ye Qianmo laughed out loud and said, "It's really stupid, tsk, there are no three hundred taels of silver here,"

Green Willow frowned and said, "It's not like the Xia clan did it,"

"It doesn't matter whose handwriting it is, I like it very much anyway," Ye Qianmo put down the small fire in his arms and stood up, "Let's go,"

Xiaoba was stunned, okay, how can you say that you can go, "Miss, where are you going?" ”

Ye Qianmo smiled happily: "The elder is sick, how can I, as a junior, not visit," the voice came from afar, "How can people say that I am not filial, huh?" "What belongs to my mother.

The green willow black line that follows behind. Even if Xia is not sick, he has to become a real disease, miss, do you still care about reputation?

Ye Yurong naturally received the news, and after breaking a room of porcelain, she went to Xia's room with a worried face. When Ye Qianmo came, Ye Yulan and Ye Yurong were already standing by Xia's bedside on the left and right.
