This person was very arrogant, and those who didn't know it thought he was an elder in the clan, but in fact he was Li's grandmother, who was distantly related to her.
Ji Shuwu examined herself three times every day. How did she endure these dog slaves in her previous life?
Snapped--
Ji Shu slapped Mama Li's face, "Do you know, you slave, who you are talking to?"
"Second Young Madam! You, you..."
Mother Li was dumbfounded. She didn't expect that Ji Shu, who was usually the most bully, would attack her like this.
Mother Li said angrily: "Second Young Madam has been nowhere to be seen all day! As my daughter-in-law, you go out to hang out and show your face, how shameless are you!"
"I have to take care of everything in the Marquis of Wuding's house. Farms, shops, banks. I don't go to the accounts to check the business and show my face. Are you expecting the strong wind to bring you these fine cotton clothes?"
Ji Shu glanced at the bright red cotton gown on Mother Li's body.
You must know that in today's world, only relatives of the emperor can afford cotton-padded clothes.
While mother Li was neglecting her and insulting her, she kept asking her to withdraw monthly money to buy these good things. She was actually picking up the bowl to eat meat and putting down the chopsticks to scold her.
Ji Shu ordered slowly, "Xitao, take off her cotton clothes and trousers and take them back to burn charcoal."
"okay!"
Xitao couldn't stand Mrs. Li for a long time, so she rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward, pressing her down to take off her clothes!
"Hey! Let me go! Someone is here! Help! The second young lady is crazy!"
Mother Li looked strong, but she was actually covered in fat. In addition to her age, she couldn't earn Xitao at all, so she had her shirt taken off in just three strokes.
As soon as the cold wind blew, two lines of clear mucus flowed from my nose.
Xitao pushed her to the ground and took off her cotton pants. Mother Li burst into tears and waved her hands for help:
"Come here! Help! The second young lady is crazy! Help!"
The noisy movement attracted many servants and people passing by to watch and whisper.
But no one dared to step forward.
Behind the screen wall in the front hall, Qi Chengxu hurriedly passed by. He was about to go to the capital camp to receive errands. When he looked in front of the door of the mansion, his eyes instantly turned cold.
His fists were clenched tightly.
He knew it! This woman Ji Shu is not a good thing! Li's mother is his own mother, Ji Shu is humiliating his mother!
Qi Chengxu stepped forward quickly and shouted angrily:
"stop!"
Xitao happened to take off Mother Li's cotton trousers, and Mother Li rolled and crawled towards Qi Chengxu, crying: "Second Master, help me!"
"Mama Li!"
Mrs. Li also came after hearing the news. When she saw Mrs. Li's embarrassment, she fell down in anger.
Beating a dog depends on the owner! Is Ji Shu trying to save her face? !
Qi Chengxu strode forward, pointed at the tip of Ji Shu's nose and scolded: "You vicious woman! Mother Li is the wet nurse who raised me, and she is half a mistress in this house! You are stripping off her cotton-padded clothes in front of everyone. Do you know how old she is?" Too big to bear the cold!”
Ji Shu raised his hand with a cold face and knocked away Qi Chengxu's finger pointing at the tip of her nose.
"Mother Li has been following me. If you treat her like this, are you dissatisfied with me?"
Li followed closely to add insult to injury. Seeing that there were so many people at the moment, she made up her mind to dampen Ji Shu's spirit!
Sure enough, once the people were guided, they began to talk about it:
"The second young lady of the Marquis Mansion is truly a heartless person."
"Is there no elderly person in her family?"
Xitao's face turned red with anger and she shouted:
"Mama Li openly insulted the young lady in front of the Hou Mansion. Our wife went to check the accounts. She said it was shameless for the lady to show up in public! The cotton clothes she was wearing were bought after asking the lady to contribute to the family income. She didn't like the lady so she returned them. Coming back is a matter of course! How can a dog eat a bone and bite its owner, and the owner still be grateful?"
Li's face turned green and white, and she felt that she was being taken into consideration.
Which room in the house is not asking Ji Shu to pay for the family income? If they are here to investigate, they are just like the dog in Xitao's mouth.
Li said angrily:
"Nonsense! Ji's management of the family shop is right, but the shop still belongs to the Marquis Mansion! I've allowed you to look after the shop for six years, and now it belongs to you alone?"
"Does mother want to see the account book of the shop in the house six years ago?"
Ji Shu sneered again and again. When she got married, these shops were already beyond their means!
Otherwise, if Mrs. Li's mother-in-law is still alive, why would she give the power of middle feed to Ji Shu? It's just to get rid of the mess!
Moreover, these shops were basically left by Qi Ye’s mother. The whole family can use them with peace of mind, and they have the nerve to say that they belong to the Hou Mansion!
"You and I……"
Li was speechless.
The people who had just attacked also calmed down and muttered:
"So it turns out that the entire Wuding Hou family...are all supported by their eldest daughter-in-law?"
Qi Chengxu also fell silent. He had been away from the government for six years and did not know the inside story.
He looked at Ji Shu. Although he didn't like her, he couldn't help but be touched to see her being so sincere and giving without reservation.
Qi Chengxu secretly thought that if Ji Shu could always be so diligent and respect Jiang Fu in the future, he might be able to leave her a position in the side room and let her continue to serve the Hou family.
"Let's do this, Ji Shu. I won't embarrass you. You can make amends to Mother Li and return the cotton-padded clothes to her. I won't pursue the matter any further."
He looked tolerant and generous, as if Ji Shu was ignorant if he was not grateful.
Ji Shu laughed angrily, "Not only will I not apologize to her today, I will also deal with her. Xitao, go get the account book of the expenses from my room."
"what are you up to!"
Li Shi wanted to ask someone to stop Xitao, but Xitao ran like a rabbit. Li Shi could only watch her run away.
He clenched his fists nervously.
Qi Chengxu also looked puzzled and looked at Ji Shu with furrowed eyebrows.
Ji Shu: "I suspect that Mother Li has spent money excessively and improperly received it. It happens that there are many people today. In case mother and father-in-law secretly suspect that I am seeking revenge, I will check on Li in front of everyone today." Is the money Mom withdraws from the ledger correct?"
Mother Li rolled her eyes. She went from being arrogant just now to wanting to faint in just one sentence.
She kept asking Li for help.
Mrs. Li herself was still sweating on her forehead, swallowing her saliva, and couldn't care about Mrs. Li at all.
Ji Shu waved his hand, and several nursing staff carried chairs out of the room.
This can be regarded as holding Li back.
Qi Chengxu was still confused. After all, he had been away from home for many years and didn't care about the accounts. He didn't know this, so he couldn't see Li's nervousness.
He just looked at Ji Shu and said, "It's impossible for Mother Li to spend money indiscriminately. If she is innocent, what will you do?"
"Now that Second Master has asked, do you dare to take a gamble with me?"
Qi Chengxu frowned, considered it for a moment, and said, "What are you betting on?"
"If she is innocent, I will kneel down to apologize to her and offer the cotton-padded clothes that I just took away with both hands. But if she is guilty..."
Ji Shu: "Second Master knelt down and kowtowed to me in front of everyone to apologize for scolding me for being vicious."
"Ji! You!"
Li's expression twisted.
Qi Chengxu looked at Ji Shu, with a desire to win and lose in his heart, and shouted: "Okay! Just bet!"
