"Aunt Zhou is literate and hyphenated, and she is indeed competent." Since the youngest daughter said so, Yu Ruiwen could only say it again, she had asked before, but since Aunt Zhou was unwilling, Yu Ruiwen could only think of another idea.

He is a marquis, and he also wants to save face, and he can't let a concubine refuse again and again.

"Aunt Zhou, are you willing to help your father relieve his worries?" Yu Xijiao asked again angrily.

Aunt Zhou looked at Yu Ruiwen, then at Yu Xijiao, and finally nodded invisibly: "If Master Hou and the third girl believe in the concubine...... The concubine is willing to give it a try. ”

Yu Ruiwen was overjoyed, and said continuously: "Okay, okay, I'll let the steward send the right cards over in a while, and then you will be in charge of the affairs of the house first." ”

"The concubine is worried...... It's not good! Aunt Zhou lowered her head, very uneasy.

"Aunt Zhou's heart is wise, and I heard that she has been in charge of it, so it shouldn't be too difficult." Yu Xijiao smiled and looked at Yu Ruiwen, "Father said that this is not the case." ”

"That's true!" Yu Ruiwen also nodded, feeling relieved.

"Father came here because of this?" Yu Xijiao suddenly changed her words and asked casually.

Yu Ruiwen's eyes involuntarily glanced at the letter in Yu Xijiao's hand, and smiled: "This is indeed the reason, it is the best for Aunt Zhou to accept it, there are still things for her father." ”

After saying that, he strode out.

"Congratulations to my father!" Yu Xijiao bowed sideways.

"Congratulations to Master Hou!" Aunt Zhou also reacted.

The two of them sent Yu Ruiwen to the corridor, watching Yu Ruiwen leave, Aunt Zhou's body shook, and Yu Xijiao hurriedly stretched out her hand to support her: "Aunt Zhou, be careful." ”

"Third girl, can you help the concubine in?" Aunt Zhou calmed down, and said with a pale face, just now she could see clearly that most of Hou Ye's attention was on the letter in the hand of the third girl, and the letter in the hand of the third girl shook twice at will, and Hou Ye's eyes turned away.

This is clearly to do something.

The so-called talking to himself about the housekeeper, since he had refused yesterday, Hou Ye is the most good-looking, even if he still wants to be a housekeeper, it is impossible to come over and talk about it again today.

Yu Xijiao took Aunt Zhou's hand and went into the house, sensing the damp cold sweat on Aunt Zhou's palm, and a trace of depth flashed in her eyes.

The two of them entered the room and sat down again, Aunt Zhou lowered her head, looked at the square inch in front of her, and didn't say a word.

Yu Xijiao was not in a hurry, picked up the letter in her hand and shook it, she kept her promise and did not open the letter to read, but it was still okay to look at the envelope outside.

The envelope was written in small characters by Aunt Zhou, and then the word "niece" was added, and at first glance, I knew that it was a letter sent by the elders, and there was nothing wrong with it on the envelope.

"Third girl, is Master Hou here for this letter?" Aunt Zhou finally spoke, which sounded like a question, but more like a verification.

Yu Xijiao's eyes raised, and she glanced at Aunt Zhou: "Haven't Aunt Zhou already guessed it!" ”

"The concubine has been sick recently, and the Hou Ye doesn't come much, often come to see the concubine and say a few words and leave, yesterday the Hou Ye also asked the concubine about the housekeeper, the concubine was not in good health and pushed it, with the temperament of the Hou Ye, even if he mentions this matter again, it is impossible to mention it immediately, and the concubine's health is really not good."

Aunt Zhou said in a low voice, and didn't hide it from Yu Xijiao anymore.

"Aunt Zhou's ...... to Madame What do you think? Yu Xijiao smiled slightly, and asked after listening to Aunt Zhou's words.

"Madame...... She's not ordinary. Aunt Zhou bit her lip.

"Knowing that Mrs. is not ordinary, why is Aunt Zhou so gullible to believe a letter? Even if this letter is really written by Aunt Zhou's deceased, could it be that Aunt Zhou still wants to go over to see it at this time? ”

Yu Xijiao smiled slightly.

Aunt Zhou was shocked and looked at Yu Xijiao in horror.

Yu Xijiao sighed lightly: "It seems that I guessed correctly, this is a letter to persuade Aunt Zhou to go out of the house to meet, if this letter falls into the hands of my father, what will my father think?" Aunt Zhou may really be left out in the backyard of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion forever, without her father's protection, how will Mrs. treat Aunt Zhou? ”

Qian's means? Aunt Zhou shivered smartly, and suddenly reached out to hold Yu Xijiao's hand, her palm was cold and cold: "Third girl, you ...... Do you think the lady hurt the concubine...... Child...... Child? ”

Yu Xijiao was not in a hurry to answer, looked at Aunt Zhou's face, and said slowly, almost word by word: "This matter...... Didn't Aunt Zhou have an answer a long time ago? ”

"For ...... Why, even if that child is born, it ...... It's just a concubine, she'...... Why would she do it? ”

Aunt Zhou's hands trembled badly, and her hands worked hard, and Yu Xi was in pain.

"Aunt Zhou, look at the eldest sister, and then look at me and I'll understand." Yu Xijiao said.

"It's her, she's the one who hurt my child, it's she who hurt my child!" Aunt Zhou's voice first muttered, very low, and then became poignant, "I...... I know she was the one who killed my child...... But I don't have evidence, Hou Ye doesn't believe it...... And said I ...... Thinking wildly, he said......"

Aunt Zhou's tears fell, and she cried almost uncontrollably, if it weren't for this, she wouldn't have been disheartened, lingering on the sickbed, and becoming more and more disappointed in Hou Ye.

Her child is also Hou Ye's child, but Hou Ye doesn't believe her.

"Aunt Zhou, don't cry first, you can't investigate the original matter, but it may not leave some clues, Aunt Zhou is now slowly in charge of family affairs, maybe there will be some unexpected gains." Yu Xijiao sighed, the heirs of the Xuanping Hou Mansion are thin, and there are no other sons except for his eldest brother who is not in the capital.

Qian himself did not give birth to a son, which also made others unable to have sons.

Fortunately, the eldest brother is not in the capital, and fortunately, the Qian family did not give birth to a son, otherwise his eldest brother may also be dangerous.

"Madame is just taking a step back for now, Master Hou...... Hou Ye has always trusted his wife...... In a few days, the lady will be released, and the power and responsibility of this steward will not be in the hands of the concubine for long. Aunt Zhou finally calmed down, wiped her tears and said coldly.

"Since Mrs. has been relieved, it will not be so easy to take it back, Aunt Zhou only takes care of the housework, today I can let my father say it again, even if Mrs. is released one day, this affairs will not be returned." Yu Xijiao assured Aunt Zhou.

Aunt Zhou bit her lip and looked at Yu Xijiao, the three girls in front of her are excellent in appearance and complexion, but because of her young age and a little childishness, the girl raised in Jiangnan has her own softness, but the firmness and bearing in her eyes make it hard to believe that this is a thirteen-year-old girl.

Thinking of the scene just now, Aunt Zhou inexplicably felt that Yu Xijiao in front of her was credible, even more convincing than Yu Ruiwen, pursed the corners of her lips, and finally nodded: "Third girl, don't worry, the concubine will take care of the affairs of the house." ”

"Some people who shouldn't be used, if they dare to rush to you to put their old qualifications, you can eliminate some of them first." Yu Xijiao reminded her that since she had the opportunity to take care of things, the Qian family's people naturally had to clear some of them.

If these people are safe, forget it, and if they are restless, they will be dealt with directly.

"Dispose of some of the manpower?" Although Aunt Zhou was prepared, she was still startled.

"Aunt Zhou thinks that if you don't dispose of some people, those people will completely listen to you?" Yu Xijiao said disapprerovingly.

Aunt Zhou was silent for a while, naturally it was impossible, when she first entered the mansion, the Qian family gave her a horse, if it wasn't for the Hou Ye in the back to press her formation, she couldn't take it at all, and she also dealt with people at that time, and then the Qian family got better, and put the people back.

"Aunt Zhou can rest assured that I will ask my father and eldest sister to help Aunt Zhou take care of things together." Yu Xijiao smiled slightly.

"The eldest girl and the third girl are also coming?" Aunt Zhou was overjoyed, there were two girls there, and her waist was straight.

"Yes, the eldest sister and I also came over, and the eldest sister is not too young." Yu Xijiao said quietly, the eldest sister's age should have learned to manage things a long time ago, but it was impossible for the Qian family to teach her, so she took this opportunity to help Aunt Zhou take care of the house, and let the eldest sister practice by the way.

In the last life, Yu Lanxuan helped An's manage the affairs of the house early, and later Shouxiao let Ning's house take the lead and held the power of stewardship in his hands, but even so, the rough affairs of some big houses and shops were directly handled by Yu Lanxuan.

Hearing Yu Xijiao say this, Aunt Zhou immediately understood, and nodded: "The eldest girl should be kissed at this age, and it is best to learn some things now." ”

Yu Zhuqing has been in the nunnery outside the mansion, and rarely in the Xuanping Hou Mansion, even if she is in the mansion, she usually doesn't come out much, and Aunt Zhou is not familiar with it.

It's just a strange thing to sigh that such a big girl, no one comes to the door to propose, even if it is the adopted daughter of the Hou Ye, with the appearance of the eldest girl, someone will always come to the door, but there is no one.

Yu Ruiwen also once sighed to Aunt Zhou, only saying that this adopted daughter is really unpleasant, and said that if no one comes to the door to propose marriage after a while, Yu Ruiwen plans to look for it himself, and he can't let this adopted daughter just stay lonely and old, which makes people think of him.

Aunt Zhou only heard this at the time, and now she really understands Yu Zhuqing's situation.

"The big girl's family affair...... has not been settled, and Hou Ye is also very worried, but no one has come to the door to propose, and the eldest girl has been delayed like this. ”

Aunt Zhou sighed.

"The eldest sister's character and appearance are good, why didn't anyone come to the door to propose?" Yu Xijiao asked thoughtfully.

"The concubine doesn't know, it was the Hou Ye who said it." Aunt Zhou smiled bitterly and shook her head, she was just a concubine, and she couldn't handle her own affairs well, so she couldn't control the eldest girl of the Hou Mansion.

Yu Xijiao hooked her lips, her smile didn't reach the bottom of her eyes, she didn't think it was an accident, all the accidents in the previous life were being promoted, how could the matter of the eldest sister really be an accident, Qian didn't know what the idea was, but she was just an adopted daughter, how could she make Qian so concerned?

She will take this matter to heart, and while the Qian family has not come out, she will check the reason carefully, and always feel that the Qian family has a different kind of attention to the eldest sister.

This matter will be put in the future, it will be Aunt Zhou's matter that will be important, she stretched out her hand and pushed the letter placed on the table, and the topic turned back: "Aunt Zhou, what do you want to do with this letter?" The appearance of Fang Cai's father, you can also see in your eyes, it is clear that he came for this letter, and now he ...... Aunt Zhou still thinks there is no problem with this letter? ”
