"The reason why I married you back to the mansion in the first place is so that you can see that I have taken care of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites, and you can open up the branches and leaves for my Xi family!"

"But look at yourself, what have you accomplished in all these years of entering this house?"

"You didn't give birth to a son for our Xi family, not to mention, you can't even be the head of Shangshu Mansion now! Tell me why I chose you as the Lady of Shangshufu in the first place?"

Lord Shang Shuxi poured out all the displeasure in his heart to Mrs. Shang Shu in front of him.

He cares most about his own face, and now because of what his wife has done, he has lost face in front of his colleagues, how can Lord Shang Shuxi not be angry?

"Master, you are my husband, how can you say that about me?"

"I am a husband and wife in distress with my lord, and I will marry my daughter's family into your Shangshu Mansion to fill the house for you! As soon as I entered your house, I became the mother of a child! Do you know how difficult it is for me, a woman who has never given birth, to take care of the Xi Qingyan left by the first lady?"

Mrs. Shangshu was hurt by Lord Xi's words.

She has worked hard in Shangshu Mansion for so many years, and now, her husband has not seen all the hardships and difficulties she had in the past!

"You're not easy?"

"Do you think that with your background, you can marry a husband who is better than me?"

"Don't forget, since you entered the Shangshu Mansion, you have become a member of the circle of noble ladies in Kyoto, you are the beautiful Mrs. Shangshu in front of people, and you are the housewife who wears gold and silver at home and is served by others, I don't know where it is not easy for you!"

"You said you took care of Qingyan hard, but what did you take care of her? At the beginning, when her mother was alive, her face was so good, how could it be ruined as soon as you took care of her!"

As soon as Lord Xi said this, Mrs. Shangshu and Xi Chuyu on the side changed their faces.

"Master, how can you say such unconscionable words!"

"People say that a husband and wife are a hundred days of grace for a day, and a husband and wife for a hundred days are like the depth of the sea! I have been a husband and wife with you for so many years, but I didn't expect that in the end, I didn't have any good words to say anything from you!"

Mrs. Shangshu saw that her husband had grabbed her handle, so she deliberately pretended to be pitiful and wanted to fool the past.

"I've been working hard for this family for so many years, even if I don't have credit, I have worked hard! Master, if you talk about me like this now, I won't live anymore!"

Mrs. Shangshu was about to get up directly from the sickbed, and Xi Chuyu on the side reached out and hugged Mrs. Shangshu, who was about to get up and seek death.

"Mother, Mother, you can't leave me alone!"

"Mother, if you are going to die, your daughter will accompany you, and when you reach the underworld, your daughter will continue to give you filial piety!"

"My daughter......

Mrs. Shangshu also hugged Xi Chuyu in a ball, crying that was miserable.

They originally thought that Lord Xi would not continue to pursue this matter when they saw them like this, after all, they had used this trick against Lord Xi in the past.

But today, Master Xi has been turning a blind eye to the crying mother and daughter.

"You don't have to pretend in front of me, Xi Chuyu, I just pursued your mother, now, I want to ask you well!"

"Your mother is sick now, and she can't manage Shangshufu, even if something goes wrong, you can barely forgive it, but aren't you good?"

"But my father heard about it, and when you saw that your mother was sick, you swore that you went to the account office, and told the bookkeeper in the house that you would be the head of the house in the future, and that anyone in the house must have your consent to pay the money!"

"Xi Chuyu, when did your unmarried girl's family become so arrogant? Don't you know that you have your parents and your eldest sister in this house?"

"Father...... Father......

Xi Chuyu originally wanted to intercede on behalf of her mother, but she didn't expect her father's anger to turn his face and burn on her head!

Xi Chuyu was most afraid of her father's birth

Angry, now that his father was glaring at him like this, Xi Chuyu didn't dare to act rashly anymore.

"Xi Chuyu, if you can take care of this Shangshu Mansion inside and out, it will be up to you to be arrogant at home as your father, but now you look at the things you do, you can see which of these things you can really do!"

"Father, how can you blame me for this?"

Xi Chuyu has never been treated like this by her father since she was a child, she has been the object of her mother and father's favor since she was born, and everyone in Shangshu Mansion only knows her Xi Chuyu, not Xi Qingyan! Now, her father scolded her for slashing her head and covering her face, and Xi Chuyu couldn't stand it at all.

"You don't have the ability to be a housekeeper, but you have to take over the burden of being a housekeeper in Shangshu Mansion, who is to blame for your father?"

Lord Shang Shuxi used to think that his daughter Xi Chuyu was very well-behaved, but now, seeing his daughter talking back to him, he naturally couldn't be happy.

"It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice, father, even if you come to manage this family yourself, if you don't have money, you can't manage it well."

Xi Chuyu was unwilling and scolded Master Xi.

"Good! For the father, I will let you take a good look at it today, even if you don't let the mother and daughter take care of the house, and assign one person for the father at will, he can manage the family properly!"

Lord Xi looked at Xi Chuyu's disobedience to him, and he was extremely angry in his heart.

But even so, he, a man, will not stand up and take care of the housekeeper by himself, which is a loss of identity! After all, in a family, it has always been the male protagonist and the female protagonist!

"Come on, go and find the eldest lady of Hanlian Garden, and say that the master I have something to do with her, and tell her that no matter what she is doing now, she will immediately put down the work in her hand and rush over!"

"Yes, sir."

The subordinates on the side didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went out to invite Xi Qingyan.

When Mrs. Shangshu and Xi Chuyu heard that Lord Xi was going to hand over Shangshu Mansion to Xi Qingyan's hands, they immediately panicked.

"Master, what are you going to do here? Could it be that you want to make Xi Qingyan's maid housekeeper?"

"Daddy, eldest sister, she can't even manage her own Hanlian Garden, you actually let her be in charge of such a big Shangshu Mansion? If the eldest sister is in charge, how do you let people outside think of my mother, Mrs. Shangshu?"

Xi Chuyu has always wanted to suppress Xi Qingyan, but now, she was actually ridden on the head by Xi Qingyan, how could she endure such a grievance?

"What's wrong with Xi Qingyan? You, the second lady of Shangshu Mansion, can be a housekeeper, why can't you be a housekeeper as the eldest lady of Shangshu Mansion?"

Lord Xi was displeased and retorted directly.

"Sir...... This...... What a system this is!"

Mrs. Shangshu was angry before, but now when she heard that her husband was going to hand over Shangshu Mansion to Xi Qingyan to manage, the whole person was suddenly angry.

"The old man naturally knows that this is not a proper system, but Shangshu Mansion is handed over to your mother and daughter, and you have managed me like this, what do you let me do?"

"Could it be that your mother and daughter asked me to resign and manage this big mansion by myself?"

Lord Shang Shuxi was very upset, and said to Mrs. Shang Shu on the sickbed.

「……」

Mrs. Shangshu didn't know how to speak for a while, she originally wanted to recommend someone in her courtyard, but now Shangshu Mansion has no money to pay the monthly money at all.

She and her daughter Xi Chuyu have already disappointed her husband, if the person she recommended disappoints her husband again, she, Mrs. Shangshu, can be regarded as the end.

Although Mrs. Shangshu is very unwilling to be a housekeeper of Xi Qingyan, she has no better way for a while, and she can only wait and see what happens!

"Sir, the eldest lady brought it!"

Just as Mrs. Shangshu was hesitating, Xi Qingyan had already followed the servants of Shangshu Mansion to Madame's Peony Garden.

As soon as she stepped into the Peony Garden, she felt the hostility of Xi Chuyu's mother and daughter towards her, but Xi Qingyan didn't take these people to heart at all.

She unhurriedly asked her father, Shangshu, who was sitting in the center of the hall

Xi-sama.

"Father, what are you looking for me?"

"Qingyan, you came just in time, my father came to you to tell you something, and now, Mrs. is not feeling well and resting in bed, and no one cares about this family, and if your father looks at you and does things unhurriedly, maybe he is a good housekeeper."

When Xi Qingyan heard this, his brows furrowed.

"Father, I heard that Xi Chuyu has always been in charge of this family's affairs, and if I take over rashly, I am afraid that it will not be good for Chu Yu."

"Yes, it was indeed your sister who was in charge of the house at the beginning, but look what she has done with this house!"

"Today, my father is in the early court, and I am chatting with the staff of the court across the sedan chair, and so many people in the house are coaxing me directly to ask for monthly money, and my father has accumulated so many years of prestige in the court, and your sister has lost it today!"

"I see that she is not the housekeeper's material, so I will hand over this Shangshu Mansion to you in the future."

Before Xi Qingyan could reply, he was directly snatched by Xi Chuyu on the side!

"Daddy, I didn't mean to ruin Daddy! And...... And the reason why the mansion can't pay the monthly money of those servants is all to blame Xi for being light-faced!"

"If it weren't for Xi Qingyan's insistence that my mother give her her her those dowries in cash, today's incident would never have happened!"

"Daddy, the person who caused you to lose face in front of your colleagues in the DPRK and China today was Xi Qingyan, but now, you want her to be in charge of Shangshu Mansion, isn't it too cheap Xi Qingyan?"

Xi Chuyu couldn't get used to Xi Qingyan's style at all, she directly counted all the changes in her family these days on Xi Qingyan's head.

"Daddy, what neither my mother nor I can do, Xi Qingyan will definitely not be able to do it! The housekeeper needs to show his face, Daddy, aren't you afraid that Xi Qingyan's appearance will scare the people who see her half to death?"

Xi Qingyan didn't want to take over the mess of Shangshu Mansion, but as soon as Xi Chuyu said this, she was really interested.

Since Xi Chuyu said that she couldn't do it, then she would definitely have to give it a try.

"Xi Chuyu, what you can't do, don't think that everyone can't do it, Daddy, if I take over the power of this steward, will all the big and small things in this Shangshu Mansion be under my control in the future?"

Mrs. Shangshu and Xi Chuyu made a mess of Shangshu Mansion, and now, she came out to support Shangshu Mansion to wipe the butts of Mrs. Shangshu's mother and daughter.

"If Shangshu Mansion becomes orderly again under my management, and Madame is in good health by then, do I have to hand over the rights of stewardship?"

Xi Qingyan can be a housekeeper, but she wants to get the benefits she deserves from the housekeeper, if there is no benefit at all, why should she stand up and support Shangshu Mansion at this time?

"Xi Qingyan! Are you going to rebel? Mrs. Ben is the head of the house in Shangshu Mansion, if I am cured, where will it be your turn to be the master of the house?"

Mrs. Shangshu shouted angrily.
