"Where are you going, madam?" Nanny Feng stepped forward and asked.
Xie Wanyu fiddled with the table in her hands and said solemnly, "There is not much cinnabar used to copy Buddhist scriptures. I am planning to buy some."
"Madam, you'd better stop worrying about the Buddhist scriptures. There are big things going on right now." Nanny Feng wiped the sweat from her forehead. "Madam, the old lady is waiting for you in the front hall."
"I am currently being punished, so it is still inconvenient for me to come forward. The Marquis and my grandmother are involved in important matters at home, so I am not the only one involved." Xie Wanyu said with a smile.
He usually doesn't look for her, but asks her to clean up any messes. She is not the one who worked hard for the Xiao family in the past and worked hard without complaining.
Grandma Feng was so anxious that she bowed her head and said, "Madam, you'd better go and have a look. The old lady can't bear the trouble that happens every day in this family."
"Don't be like this. I am a member of the family after all. I just go and have a look." Xie Wanyu waved her hand and said.
Since Mrs. Xiao asked Aunt Feng to stop her, she probably won't be able to get out of the gate of the Hou Mansion.
Aunt Feng expressed her gratitude behind her.
When I came to the front hall, I saw a room full of people.
Xiao Jing sat next to Mrs. Xiao, opposite about a dozen people from the Xue family, and even Xue Xuening sat opposite them.
Looking at the grandfather and grandson, they were a little helpless.
When she noticed Xie Wanyu coming in, Mrs. Xiao's eyes lit up and she waved affectionately, "Wanyu is here, come on, sit here."
"Grandma, Mr. Hou." Xie Wanyu saluted politely. When she looked at the Xue family, she nodded slightly. Although most of these people were elders, she was Mrs. Hou and did not need to salute them.
Xiao Jing also breathed a sigh of relief, "You came just in time. Since you are the mistress, how can you take care of the inner house? You don't even know that someone has fallen into the water." He immediately got angry.
The smile on Xie Wanyu's face slowly solidified. What does this mean?
Something happened to Xue Fu, do you want someone to take the blame?
Who knew that Xue Xuening was sobbing over there, "I know my younger siblings look down on me, but what does it have to do with my younger brother?"
Xie Wanyu raised her eyebrows slightly, was he going to push her?
"What are you talking nonsense about?" Mrs. Xiao pulled Xie Wanyu to sit down and said, "How can Wanyu take care of everything in the family's affairs?"
Turning around, Mrs. Xiao said to Xie Wanyu, "Grandma knows about this, and she doesn't blame you."
She patted Xie Wanyu's arm with her withered hand.
"I certainly believe in grandma." She smiled slightly and kept a slight distance from Mrs. Xiao without any trace.
Madam Xiao turned her eyes, then coughed a few times, "I'm old, so I shouldn't have to worry about this matter, but Xue Fu fell into the water in my palace, and I can't stand idly by."
At this time, Xue Xuening's father, Xue Ping, stood up and said, "The old lady is right. It's just that my Xue family has few heirs. You must give me an explanation."
Probably because he felt that he was being reasonable, Xue Ping raised his head higher than usual.
When he was married to the Xiao family before, he also suffered the loss of Mrs. Xiao. After all, the gap in family status was too big.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xiao stopped talking and looked at Xie Wanyu, "My grandson-in-law is in charge of the Hou Mansion now, and I have long since stopped taking care of things. Wanyu, look..."
Mrs. Xiao is like a personal genius, so of course she would not pick up such a hot potato with her own hands.
But she was more skillful than Xiao Jing and Xue Xuening, and did not directly blame Xie Wanyu.
Zhufang was so angry that she said in a medium voice, "Whenever something happens, our wife needs to come forward. It is difficult enough to manage the affairs of the house, but do we have to take care of food, drink, and diarrhea?"
"Zhu Fang, talk too much!" Xie Wanyu said.
Zhufang immediately closed his mouth.
These few words of hers had already touched Xie Wanyu's heart, but she had to scold her.
Mrs. Xiao's expression changed, but she didn't say anything.
"Mrs. Hou, please give my son an explanation." Xue Ping said as he sat down on the chair carelessly, without even the most basic respect.
Xie Wanyu rubbed the handkerchief in her hand.
Since she had never met Xue Fu in her previous life, this kind of thing naturally did not happen. As for Xue Ping, she had only heard Mrs. Xiao say it a few times, saying that he was from a small family and had no rules.
Now it seems that it is really not unfair at all.
Xue Xuening glanced at Xiao Jing, and then gave her a look.
Xiao Jing understood and immediately said to Xie Wanyu, "This is your negligence. Why don't you take a look and let's pay some compensation, otherwise we can't be kind."
Because he was close to Xie Wanyu, he deliberately approached her and said.
Xie Wanyu picked up the handkerchief and covered her mouth and nose. The smell of powder on his shoulders was so strong that she couldn't breathe.
"Did the Marquis go to a brothel today? The smell of makeup and powder on his body is so strong!" she said without any hesitation.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces showed a look of ridicule.
Xue Xuening's face froze and she gave Xie Wanyu a sharp look.
Mrs. Xiao looked a little ugly, "There are so many people here, so don't talk nonsense."
"Yes." Xie Wanyu responded, and then said to Xiao Jing, "Master Hou, why don't you go change your clothes." After saying that, she slapped her with her hand in disgust.
Xue Xuening couldn't control it anymore, "What are you talking about, brother and sister? Even if the Marquis has a woman, it is normal, but he will never find someone who is not worthy of the spotlight."
"That's not necessarily the case. If you can get on the stage, why bother being secretive?" Xie Wanyu said with a smile.
Xue Xuening opened her mouth, and finally bit her lip.
I don’t know since when, Xie Wanyu, who was clearly her defeated enemy, became even more articulate.
Mrs. Xiao patted the table, "What are you talking about? Let's talk about business."
When it came to business, Xue Xuening's eyes turned red again, looking grief-stricken, "If anything happens to my brother-in-law, I won't be able to live anymore."
Xie Wanyu's face changed so quickly that she was speechless.
Xue Ping crossed his arms and looked at Xie Wanyu, "Tell me, how to compensate?"
The Xue family is thin, but Xue Fu is not the only male. Judging from Xue Ping's appearance, he doesn't seem to be worried about Xue Fu's life or death, but rather seems to be bringing someone to extort money.
"What do you want me to say about this matter?" Xie Wanyu smiled and looked at Xue Ping, "Master Xue, you must also know that your young master did not receive an invitation from our house when he came to my house as a guest."
"My brother comes to see me, do you still need to invite me?" Xue Xuening said.
Xie Wanyu nodded, "Then he came uninvited. How can he blame me for this? What? As long as there are guests in the house, I have to go up and wait on you? He is here to see you. Since you are I know your brother is not a safe person, why don't you keep an eye on him?"
She didn't save Xue Xuening any face.
Xue Xuening was so angry that she stood up, "You are the mistress of the house. When guests come, you shouldn't do your hospitality? Besides, why is my brother-in-law not safe?"
