、、、、、、、、、、 Although Shuangzhi did not directly ask Madame Hu to hand over the power of the General's Mansion, all the subordinates of the General's Mansion clearly understood that this Madame was not as weak as they saw.

They are all waiting to see what happens, and they don't know whether Mrs. Hu finally holds on to power, or Mrs. Hu succeeds in taking charge.

Shuangzhi and Mrs. Hu didn't make any-for-tat confrontations, and this general's mansion didn't have that kind of gunsmoke, but it just made people feel nervous, as if the two of them were in a state of sabre-rattling, depending on who made the first move, the other party would definitely bite it.

In fact, in terms of identity and status, Mrs. Hu can't compete with Shuangzhi at all, she is just a widow and an outsider, it is already a very rare thing for her to stay in the General's Mansion, if it weren't for her in-laws' family who couldn't tolerate her, if it weren't for the fact that she would be harassed by some powerful people if she took Wei'er to live alone, she wouldn't live in the General's Mansion.

Therefore, after the matter of Steward Xu, most of the subordinates of the General's Mansion were not optimistic about Mrs. Hu.

Not to mention that Fu Shuangzhi is the emperor's county lady, even if it looks at the attitude of the lord to the lady, it will definitely make everyone dare not continue to be presumptuous in front of the lady, who said that the lord does not value the lady? It's just blind, looking at that Xiangxing in front of Mrs., that's called respect, that's called a dog's leg.

Of course, Shuangzhi and Mrs. Hu have not surfaced yet, the surface is still calm, and whether the situation is turbulent in the dark is just speculation, in fact, Mrs. Hu is still so gentle and kind, it seems that Shuangzhi's attack on Steward Xu has not affected her mood.

But only most of them think so, of course, some disagree, thinking that this is just the consequence of the lady's inability to support the silver and being angry, and she regrets it after believing it.

Besides, after Shuangzhi was removed from the post of Steward Xu's account office, she could be regarded as establishing authority in the General's Mansion, and she knew very well that people who had a heart for this matter today would be able to understand what she meant, so she was not in a hurry to ask Mrs. Hu to hand over the things that should be handed over to her, she was waiting, waiting for Mrs. Hu to come to her.

The next day, not long after Shuangzhi got up, Aunt Mei came over to say goodbye.

"Let's sit down and have breakfast together." Shuangzhi smiled at Aunt Mei who was standing next to her.

Aunt Mei was secretly observing Shuangzhi's eyes and face, and she was really a little stunned when she suddenly turned her head and called her like this, "Ah, this is ...... This is not in accordance with the rules, and the concubine does not dare to eat at the same table with the lady. ”

"Sit down, you don't look like someone who would be restrained by these manners." Shuangzhi glanced at her and asked Xiao Yahuan to prepare another bowl and chopsticks.

Aunt Mei smiled brightly and sat down unceremoniously, "Madam, the concubine is bold." ”

Shuangzhi glanced at her, "You are also brave?" Aunt Mei, I see that you are very bold. ”

Aunt Mei smiled slightly, "Madam, what do you say...... What is the meaning? ”

"Aren't you quite clear about which girls in my hospital have other thoughts? If it weren't for Aunt Mei's reminder, I really don't know who would dare to tell me about my affairs, it's a good thing for you to use your strength. Shuangzhi spooned a mouthful of white porridge as white as jade in his mouth, chewed it slowly, and looked at Aunt Mei with a smile.

Aunt Mei's face changed slightly, and she hurriedly explained, "The concubine has no such thoughts, but ...... I just don't want to be madam, you were betrayed and don't know yet. ”

"I don't blame you, don't be nervous, this porridge is good, try it." Shuangzhi said with a smile.

Aunt Mei was shocked into a cold sweat, today she finally appreciated the power of this lady, it turned out that she had already seen everything through, and it seemed that she would be more cautious in doing things in the future.

"Thank you, ma'am." Aunt Mei said cautiously.

"Aunt Mei, how many years have you been with Shi Tuo?" Shuangzhi seemed to ask casually, and ate porridge very leisurely.

Aunt Mei glanced at her out of the corner of her eye before she said, "It's been four years, and when the concubine was fifteen years old, she was sent to Ye by Lord Lin, who was not a general at that time, but only a deputy general. ”

The smile on his lips bloomed slightly, "Shi Tuo didn't like to talk before?" ”

Aunt Mei said, "When the master was a deputy general, there was only a small mansion, and the concubine lived in that house for a year before she saw the master." ”

"Huh?" Shuangzhi looked at her in surprise, not quite sure what he heard.

Aunt Mei smiled bitterly, why is this lady asking about Shi Tuo's previous affairs, is it possible that she wants to catch some tricks from her? "Ye is on the battlefield all year round, that is, when he is not fighting, he is in the military camp, and rarely goes back to the house, in the past four years, he has stayed in the concubine's house for a few nights, that is, two years ago, other generals sent a song to the master, and he also stayed in this general's mansion for half a year before he could let the master go to her house."

Shuangzhi's eyes turned slightly, "Singer? ”

Aunt Mei was stunned for a moment, and realized that she had said something she shouldn't have said, "Uh, that'...... That singer has been kicked out of the house by the master. ”

"Why?" Shuangzhi asked.

"That singer insisted on going to the master's study, which angered the master." Aunt Mei looked at Shuangzhi's face carefully, there was no displeasure, but it was okay.

It turns out that Shi Tuo really doesn't like others to go to his study, it's really a quirk.

She now finally understands why this Shi Tuo obviously has a concubine, but he has never had an heir, it turns out that he hasn't stayed in someone's house for a few days all year round, this discovery makes her really feel inexplicably happy, and there is a faint sweetness.

Then, there was another suffocating silence, Aunt Mei didn't expect that she would feel nervous in front of a Fu Shuangzhi who was younger than herself.

After Shuangzhi was full, he saw that the porridge in Aunt Mei's bowl hadn't moved much, so he chuckled and said, "Aunt Mei, what's wrong with you today?" Aren't you quite arrogant in front of me on weekdays, do you have something to say? ”

Aunt Mei laughed dryly, that is, she used to underestimate Fu Shuangzhi, so she dared to say anything.

At this time, Linglan walked in and saluted Shuangzhi, "Madam, Mrs. Hu is asking to see her outside." ”

The corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, "Please come in, Mrs. Hu." ”

When Aunt Mei heard Mrs. Hu come in, she got up and said, "Madam, the concubine will retire first." ”

Shuangzhi smiled, "It's okay, it's not a big deal that can't be known to others." ”

When Aunt Mei heard this, she stood behind her and thought to herself, wondering what the lady was thinking in her heart, did she want to deal with her? But it doesn't look like it.

When Mrs. Hu came in, she saw that Aunt Mei was also there, a flash of light flashed in her eyes, and the smile on her face was still gentle and kind.

"Ma'am." She gave Shuangzhi a salute and held a stack of ledgers in her hand.

"Mrs. Hu, please take a seat, Mrs. Hu is not looking good today, is there anything wrong?" Shuangzhi smiled elegantly and generously, as if the incident of Steward Xu did not happen yesterday.

Mrs. Hu smiled, "It's okay, maybe Wei'er had a nightmare last night and didn't sleep well." ”

Shuangzhi had some pity for Wei'er, and when he heard him have nightmares, he cared, "Wei'er is okay?" I was thinking I'd have him come over and play around again today. ”

Mrs. Hu smiled gratefully at Shuangzhi's concern, "Thank you Madame for your concern, Wei'er has often had nightmares at night since his father passed away, and he will be fine when he wakes up during the day." ”

"It's not a good nightmare to let the small kitchen make some soothing tea for Wei'er to drink." Double Solstice Road.

Mrs. Hu's eyebrows showed a little guilt, "It's all because I have less time to accompany Wei'er on weekdays, I have always only cared about wanting to repay the general and take care of this inner courtyard for the general, but now that Madame is back, this housekeeper naturally doesn't need me as an outsider to interfere, and I also want to spend more time with Wei'er, madam, this is the account book and key at home, I will return it to you." ”

Shuangzhi stared straight at Mrs. Hu, wondering how sincere these words came out of her mouth.

Mrs. Hu lowered her eyelids, she was also gambling, she handed over the power in a low profile today, not sincerely, but just wanted Fu Shuangzhi to let down her guard against her, if Fu Shuangzhi was really a smart person, she should not take back the right to be in charge at this time.

However, she underestimated Shuangzhi's ability to challenge, she was never a person who was afraid of difficulties.

"In this way, I don't want to bother Mrs. Hu anymore, in the future, Mrs. Hu will only live in the General's Mansion and accompany Wei'er with peace of mind, Wei'er is still young now, it is the time when she needs her mother, and Mrs. Hu should not worry about the affairs of the family." Shuangzhi looked considerate and gentle, as if he didn't see Mrs. Hu's sudden smile and frozen expression.

Mrs. Hu tugged at the corners of her mouth, trying very hard to make herself look still gentle and generous, "Thank you, Madame, this is the key and account book of the account room, I will go and explain the stewards of each room, and let them come over to explain to you the big and small things in the family." ”

"Don't worry, I don't know much about the housekeeper at home, when I want to ask, I can just let them come over, there is no need to trouble Mrs. Hu about this." Shuangzhi gave Xiangqin a look, and Xiangqin stepped forward to take the account book and key from Mrs. Hu.

Mrs. Hu smiled, and then said with some hesitation, "Madam, I heard that you sent all the gifts you received during the New Year to the Taoist temple?" ”

"Isn't it good to send gifts to Qingshui Temple, do good deeds and accumulate blessings, which can not only help Taoist aunts adopt orphans, but also solve these gifts?" ”

"But the general doesn't like to be courteous, and doing so will inevitably make people think that the general has inherited someone else's favor." Mrs. Hu bit her lip and smiled lightly despite the irritability in her heart.

"Between people, I accept a love from you, and you accept a gift from me, and you can't break off the relationship with others because of your preferences." Shuangzhi said lightly, she is not a pedantic person, pretending to be high and not accepting gifts will only make Shi Tuo's interpersonal relationship in the court worse, and people are not giving gifts to bribe Shi Tuo, just a gesture of goodwill, she donated some gifts with bribery elements to the Taoist Temple in the name of those people, and this is also to let those people know that it is okay to be friendly with the General's Mansion, but if you want to bribe Shi Tuo, I am afraid that you are in the wrong place.

When Mrs. Hu heard this, the words in her mouth froze, now that she is no longer a housekeeper, what position do you have to say this to Fu Shuangzhi? Thinking that everything she had worked so hard for the past two years would be ruined in the hands of Fu Shuangzhi, she couldn't help but feel unwilling and resentful.

She's not going to stop there.
