The maid stepped forward to support Jiang Linrou and whispered to help her.
"The Second Young Mistress is going too far. It's obvious that you married into the house first, so why should she..."
Jiang Linrou stopped her and said, "The second brother is my mother's biological child. With my mother protecting me, it is inevitable for her to be arrogant..."
"Although my second brother can't send Brother Hu to the military camp, it doesn't mean that he can't deal with my husband and Heng'er. I can't help them, and I can't let them be implicated anymore."
"Then forget it, they don't take Madam seriously at all." The little maid was indignant.
Jiang Linrou wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, with a sinister smile on her face.
"It doesn't matter. Someone will take care of them. Let's go. This house will become more and more lively."
After Si Ning returned to the room, he called the housekeeper over.
Once the birthday party was over, the butler's position became awkward.
Li Xutang never came to him again, but the old lady summoned him once and scolded him.
He also threatened his family and asked him to report Si Ning's every move to him.
After the butler expressed his sincerity, he also told the concierge that all matters related to Si Ning must be reported. This is why Li Xutang intercepted those invitations.
The housekeeper expressed his sincerity, but the old lady no longer trusted him as before.
The butler knew that he had fallen out of favor and that it would not be long before someone else would take his place.
When he was feeling uneasy, Si Ning summoned him.
Facing this third lady, the housekeeper hated and feared her. She was able to send her cousin to prison with one move. She has not come out yet, and she only used one sentence to make the old lady lose her trust in him.
Have to guard against it!
The housekeeper bowed respectfully to Si Ning and stood aside to wait for orders.
Si Ning glanced at him lightly, and instead of speaking in a hurry, he picked up the teacup on the table.
First he opened the tea lid slowly and carefully, blew in the non-existent tea leaves inside, and then took a leisurely sip.
The lid made a slight sound when it hit the cup, which made the butler even more uneasy.
Si Ning was not in a hurry to speak, but the housekeeper was, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
In the end, I really couldn't stand it anymore and asked cautiously.
"I wonder what the third young lady has to do with the younger one?"
Si Ning finally laid his eyes on him and asked with a slight smile.
"Doesn't the housekeeper know?"
"I heard that all my invitations were sent to my second sister-in-law through the hands of the housekeeper. I don't know when a servant will have the power to do whatever he wants with the master..."
Before he finished speaking, the housekeeper fell to his knees on the ground.
"Third Young Mistress, have mercy on me. I was just confused for a moment..."
Si Ning slowly withdrew his gaze and smiled lightly.
"Then what should I do? I don't like stupid people very much... Do you want to kill yourself, or should I do it?"
As if struck by lightning, the housekeeper knelt on the ground motionless, his body trembling out of fear.
"Third Young Mistress..."
"What's wrong, do you think mother and second sister-in-law can tolerate you?"
"You betrayed your second sister-in-law first, and you betrayed me later. Butler Wu, one servant does not serve the two masters. Don't you understand this principle?"
"Third Young Mistress, I don't have..."
"You have nothing. You haven't done anything to feel sorry for my second sister-in-law, or you haven't done anything to feel sorry for me."
"I guess my second sister-in-law and my mother don't trust you anymore. If I don't trust you now, does Butler Wu think there is any meaning for his existence in the house?"
"You know so many things about your mother and second sister-in-law. Is it a kindness to keep you here until now?"
This is not an alarmist statement. Si Ning knew what Li Xutang and the old lady were up to without even asking.
They could treat her like that, but would they take a housekeeper seriously?
Butler Wu's face turned pale, and it was obvious that these words had hit home.
No matter how stupid he was, he still knew what was going on and kowtowed to Si Ning.
"Please help the third young lady!"
Si Ning put down the tea cup and looked at Butler Wu seriously.
"Your daughter is over fifteen this year, has she ever discussed getting married?"
The housekeeper's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, the third young lady's skills were no worse than the old lady's.
He put his head on the ground, not daring to raise his eyes, and replied in a deep voice.
"Never..."
"Butler Wu must have cherished his daughter until now. Also, your wife passed away early. It's only human nature to keep such a precious daughter by your side."
Si Ning would not mention his daughter without any reason. No matter how stupid Butler Wu was, he would understand what she meant.
My heart turned slightly, and I finally gritted my teeth and said.
"I beg the Third Young Mistress to make the decision for Qian'er."
Si Ning smiled and said, "It's easy to say. Butler Wu works hard for me. I will naturally help you take care of your daughter. There are two ways. I will send her away and you can visit her every month. Otherwise, what will you do if you take her into the house?" think?"
What to think? It's his turn to think. Does he still have a choice?
His head hung lower and his tone was humble.
"It is Qian'er's blessing to be able to serve my wife."
Rather than putting it somewhere where he can't see it, it's better to put it under his nose. As long as he doesn't do anything wrong to Si Ning, Si Ning will definitely not break his promise.
Si Ning nodded, reaching a consensus with the housekeeper.
Butler Wu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Si Ning cautiously.
"Third Young Mistress, what are you going to ask me to do?"
"Butler Wu is a smart man, and he will definitely be able to strike a good balance between me and my second sister-in-law."
Butler Wu looked confused, "What the third young lady means..."
"How you reported it before will be how you report it in the future. But you should know what to say and what not to say, right?"
Butler Wu bowed his head in response and understood what Si Ning meant.
Sure enough, this third young lady is even more difficult to mess with!
I just don’t understand why I hid my clumsiness before and let the Lu family bully me like that.
But this was not something he needed to consider. He knew that as long as he did as Si Ning said, Si Ning would be able to keep him safe.
What needed to be explained was explained, and what needed to be beaten was also beaten. Si Ning waved his hand for the butler to retreat.
She thought that if she turned a blind eye to what was going on in the house, she would have to leave in the future.
But now it seems that we can't let it go.
At least until she leaves the Lu family, she can live a peaceful life with the power of the housekeeper firmly in her hands.
…
Teahouse box.
Qin Yi looked at Ming Han, who was dressed in black, and frowned.
"Why are you here? Why aren't you waiting beside Brother Han Xiao?"
Ming Han looked at him sympathetically and gave up his position.
Qin Yi was confused and saw Ming Han motioning for him to go behind the screen.
"Who is behind that?" Who can make Ming Han be so respectful...
Qin Yi stepped in and saw a person sitting behind the screen.
The man, dressed in light-colored brocade, was leaning in front of the window and looking at the scene outside.
The window was not wide open, so the people inside could see every move of the people below, but the people below could not see clearly what was going on in the box.
Qin Yi always felt that the figure on the back looked familiar. Before he could ask, the man had already spoken.
"It's been so long, have you improved your martial arts?"
Qin Yi's steps forward were paused, and his whole body froze on the spot.
When he saw the face that turned around clearly, blood rushed to his forehead and his eyes suddenly turned red.
