Xue Xuening saw that Xie Wanyu didn't follow the way, so she added, "You are in this state now, so don't be busy. I can help you from time to time."
"Yes, our wife has always been the housekeeper in her parents' family. Now if necessary, she can also take over directly." Biyun said.
The two masters and servants sing and harmonize, in the final analysis they just want to be the masters of the family.
Xie Wanyu didn't say anything. Is this housekeeper really that easy to be?
Xiao Jing prides herself on being a pure woman and never runs her family's Zhuangzi shop. She just lets it fall into disrepair. Her little salary every year is not enough to give rewards to her servants. Most of it is spent on Xie Wanyu's dowry money. Now Xue Xuening is curing her face. He paid a lot of money and paid Pei'er two hundred taels of silver as compensation. Her coffers were probably empty.
That's why I came up with the idea of being a housekeeper, mainly because I wanted to make some money.
Xie Wanyu no longer wants to take care of the house, but she won't give up to Xue Xuening so easily. She will have to deal with it for a while.
"Are you tired, madam?" Zhu Fang asked when Xie Wanyu didn't speak.
Xie Wanyu nodded weakly, "As for my sister-in-law, I won't give it away." After saying that, she turned her head and closed her eyes.
Xue Xuening came here shamelessly, but now she was ignored like this. She was angry but didn't show it, so she could only return in anger.
Now that Xiao Jing was scratched all over her face and had not seen her for several days, she couldn't ask Xiao Jing to help, so she could only wait until she had the chance.
After Xie Wanyu pretended to be ill, Xiao Jinmin came to see her once.
But the one who came to see it the most was probably Xiao Zhi.
He was much more sensible than other children, and he personally ground japonica rice for Xie Wanyu to eat.
There is everything in the Hou Mansion, but what he did with his own hands is more touching. Xie Wanyu is very satisfied and often praises him. If he is the son of the Hou Mansion, he will definitely be the heir apparent.
In late autumn, Xie Wanyu's "illness" was cured.
Because everything was in chaos in the Hou Mansion, she couldn't stay "sick" for too long.
Xie Wanyu punished several dishonest slaves and found people to sell them directly. Her thunderous methods made everyone in the house much more honest.
Only Xue Xuening was filled with hatred because all those Xie Wanyu sold were her people.
It was like breaking her arm.
This day.
Xie Wanyu had just finished taking care of the people in the kitchen and was walking along the corridor to the front yard. She happened to see Xiao Jing and Pei'er standing on the arch bridge, looking like they were inseparable.
It has to be said that Pei'er has some tricks up her sleeve and gives Xiao Jing some sweetness from time to time, but does not let him fully get it.
Aunt He frowned, "Madam can't just focus on the housekeeper, her thoughts should always be on the Marquis."
"The Marquis doesn't like me to begin with, why should I ask for trouble." Xie Wanyu said this pitifully, but her face was still calm.
She no longer had any hope for Xiao Jing.
Maybe they were talking a little too loudly, so Xiao Jing turned around and realized it was Xie Wanyu, and she immediately kept some distance from Pei'er with a guilty conscience.
"Master Hou." Xie Wanyu had no choice but to go over and salute, and then looked at Pei'er, "Is cousin Pei'er's forehead feeling better?"
"Thank you madam for your concern. I'm feeling much better now." Pei'er said gratefully. "Madam lingered on the hospital bed and didn't forget to give me some scar removal plasters. Pei'er is very grateful."
Xie Wanyu took a closer look and said, "Fortunately, no scars were left."
Xiao Jing looked at Xie Wanyu, "Is your condition getting better?" After he knew that Pei'er's scar removal ointment was a gift from Xie Wanyu, his dislike for Xie Wanyu was much lessened.
I feel that although Xie Wanyu is dull and boring, she has the demeanor of a matron, unlike Xue Xuening, who is just a crazy woman.
If Xie Wanyu was in charge and Pei'er was obedient and sensible, he would probably be much happier.
Xie Wanyu seemed to have noticed Xiao Jing's thoughts and said with a smile, "It's time for cousin Pei'er to get married now. Lord Marquis, why don't you take cousin Pei'er in, so that I don't have to worry about finding her in-laws anymore." "
Pei'er immediately blushed.
Although she is a bit cunning, she also has admiration for Xiao Jing.
After all, Xiao Jing has outstanding appearance, noble status, and can recite poems and compose poems to make girls happy. How could Pei'er not be attracted to her?
Xiao Jing cast a grateful glance at Xie Wanyu, "That's exactly what I meant..."
"Father!" Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted.
I saw Xiao Jinmin walking over with Xiao Zhi.
Xiao Jinmin was wearing a satin robe and a bun. His eyebrows were somewhat similar to Xiao Jing's. He lowered his head slightly and said, "My child, please give my regards to my father and my mother."
He seemed to be running very fast, his little face was slightly red, and he was breathing heavily.
Later, Xiao Zhi also knelt on the ground. He was wearing ordinary coarse cloth clothes and carrying Xiao Jinmin's pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
"Get up." Xiao Jing said.
Xiao Jinmin then stood up, and when he looked at Xie Wanyu, his eyes were gloomy, but only for a moment.
"Father, I heard that my eldest aunt was sick. I went to see her just after school. She has lost a lot of weight." The worry on Xiao Jinmin's face was real.
After all, it's his own.
Xie Wanyu knew it well.
Nowadays, the relationship between Xue Xuening and Xiao Jing is very tense. She asked Biyun to find Xiao Jing several times, but Xiao Jing rejected them all.
There was probably no other way but to ask Xiao Jinmin to invite him.
"Why is the eldest sister-in-law suddenly ill? Master Hou, we have to go and take a look. The eldest sister-in-law is alone, so pitiful." Xie Wanyu said.
Who knew that Xiao Jinmin glanced at Xie Wanyu and said with a sullen face, "Mom is busy, so it's better not to go. You are not in good health, just in case you get over it."
Of course he didn't want to let Xie Wanyu go.
If Xie Wanyu followed, how could Xue Xuening reconcile with Xiao Jing.
When Xiao Jing saw her son saying this, she was inevitably a little moved. After all, they had been in love for so long. "Okay, I'll go over and have a look." He turned to look at Xie Wanyu, "If you're not feeling well, don't go."
"Yes." Xie Wanyu said.
Then Xiao Jing took Xiao Jinmin to the west courtyard.
Pei'er looked at Xie Wanyu and said tentatively, "Why do I feel that the relationship between Mr. Hou and Mrs. Ning is a little too good?"
Xie Wanyu looked at Pei'er's inquiring eyes and said with a smile, "Master Hou is kind-hearted. It is difficult for a widowed sister-in-law to be alone, so he should take care of her."
After saying that, she couldn't help but laugh at herself.
Pei'er lives in the countryside, has not read many books, and has an even narrower horizon.
Even a person like this could tell that something was wrong with the relationship between Xue Xuening and Xiao Jing. He didn't find out what he had done wrong in his previous life.
"That's right." Pei'er thought thoughtfully, "When I was in the country, I was very good with the girl from my neighbor's family. The girl's widow married her brother-in-law, and then we had her, and we lived a happy life. .”
Pei'er deliberately reminded Xie Wanyu.
However, Xie Wanyu had already gone all out in pretending to be stupid, "Is there such a thing? But it's true, the world is full of wonders."
Pei'er couldn't help but feel a little helpless, thinking that Xie Wanyu was too stupid.
After Xiao Jing went to the West Courtyard, she didn't come out until night.
When I went in, I was frowning, but when I came out, I was in high spirits, and I went straight to Xie Wanyu's room.
