Wang Fu Clan's daughter-in-law was a rather simple and honest woman, she looked fat and simple, but in truth, her squinty eyes hid more than anyone else. When Xie Jingxi called her over, she had a blank face, and did not know where she had touched the head of this newly appointed Grand Mistress.
Xie Jingxi's attitude towards Marquis Mansion was extremely clear, which was that if others did not offend her, she would not offend them. As long as they did not provoke her, she could just close her eyes and let them go, but this did not mean that she could tolerate others trying to fool her.
Wang Fu family's main house was in charge of procurement, so she was naturally the most generous to create the position, she must have been doing the same before, but that was just what happened previously, Xie Jingxi did not care, but now, she had to speak of it.
"Grand Mistress, please call me."
Wang Fu family's smiling face had their eyes narrowed into slits, looking kind and easy to talk to, Xie Jingxi also laughed, "Mom, how hard have you been recently?"
Wang Fu family's disciple was stunned by her question, he did not know what she meant at the moment, "Grand Mistress, what do you mean?"
Xie Jingxi just smiled and did not say anything, causing Wang Fu's heart to tremble. She laughed dryly, "Hey, I thought you were Grand Mistress, what are you saying. Thank you for your concern, Grand Mistress.
"That's good." Xie Jingxi drank some tea to refresh her spirit, "I heard that mother loves to drink honey the most, I have a few jars of the best honey that I have brought with me, Ming Yu, go and bring some for mother."
As she talked about the honey, Wang Fu's heart trembled, her body was covered in a layer of sweat. She hurriedly refused, "How can I let Grand Mistress spend all his money, and not accept all the rewards for nothing. I have no reason to take your things for free."
Mother is a cautious person, she has been in the house for quite some time, and when Father mentioned the manager lady s to me, he praised you, saying that you know your limits the most, and I had nothing else to call you here for, it's just a few words of advice. Since our family's population is not large, we have to be more meticulous in terms of food and clothing, and if there's anything in the houses that we want to eat, then don't be afraid of it, just buy it.
She loved to eat sweet foods, honey was expensive and expensive at the same time. Usually, she would secretly store a bottle of it when she received it, and it just so happened that she met a second young mistress who also liked to drink honey, no one would doubt that even if she bought more. But it just so happened that it happened to be gone today. She forgot to make up for it at the moment, but who would have thought that Second Young Master would come to Grand Mistress just because of this little matter.
As for the matter of lacking meat and vegetables, it was not only related to the Wang Fu family, but she could not escape from them either. Adding on to that the energy that Lady Zeng had lost over the past few years was not as strict as before, she extended her hand out towards the manor more and she became even bolder. She originally thought that Grand Mistress was young and had a tender face, that wouldn't last long and even thought of taking more money to marry her son off to the family.
"Grand Mistress is very perceptive, and is also considerate to our servants. I will definitely not let you down, and do my best in the future."
This could also be considered to be the shrewdness of an old man. Although Xie Jingxi didn't point it out, she still pretended to be stupid and didn't say anything after a long time.
Xie Jingxi leisurely sipped his tea as she thought of the possibilities. She thought of all sorts of ways to put it, even what Xie Jingxi had said after she made it clear what she wanted to say, but she only waited for Ming Yu to bring the honey.
"Originally, there was nothing else. Mother Honey, take it back and make some tea. Please don't be polite with me."
That's it? Wang Fu Clan s disciple, who was carrying the honey, walked out of the major wife Courtyard without reacting. The cold wind blew past her head, causing her to perspire profusely, from her feet to her hair. She carefully thought about what had happened today, and with a flash of inspiration, she immediately ran towards the kitchen.
"Is your manager lady here?"
Wang Fu's family held onto a little girl in the kitchen. Naturally, that little girl recognized her and politely said, "Our mother just went out. I saw that she was in a hurry towards the courtyard of the Grand Mistress."
Wang Fu family's heart skipped a beat, they thought to themselves that it was bad, did this silly old lady go to Grand Mistress to speak nonsense?
The husband of the manager lady in the kitchen was surnamed Lin, and everyone called her the Lin family's daughter-in-law. The Lin family's daughter-in-law was a small fry with the Wang Fu family, and as long as they bought some of the daily supplies, they would send them into the kitchen. If the Lin family's daughter-in-law wanted to buy some, she would have to wear the same pants as Wang Fu family.
In the past few days, his wife had been sick and said that they had to eat less, so the Lin Family's daughter-in-law took the opportunity to get more fish and meat. Every house in the house was made in one pot, but Second Young Mistress was so busy that she could arrive in front of Grand Mistress for such a small matter. The Lin Family's daughter-in-law wasn't afraid of anything at first, but after finding her, she started to talk to her wife about matters. Even Marquis didn't say anything, so what could the Second Young Madam do?
But who would have thought that right after she heaved a sigh of relief, Grand Mistress would call for the Wang Fu family. Something happened with the food, so he didn't look for her first to manage the kitchen, but instead went to look for her first. With the Grand Mistress being humiliated, how could she not take the opportunity to make an example of others and establish her own might? Wang Fu's family could not possibly allow her to be alone, rather than waiting for the Grand Mistress to find her head, she might as well do so herself.
Hearing that she had come, Xie Jingxi was happy in her heart, but she still invited her in politely.
"Grand Mistress, I am guilty."
Xie Jingxi immediately told Ming Yu to help her up, "What do you mean by that? Mother, please stand up and speak."
Originally, because of Madam's weak taste these few days, all the chicken, duck, fish, and meat that the Grand Mistress was able to purchase from the kitchen were going to be ruined. I, I was just distracted and took some of the things that the Wang Fu family was familiar with, and I also have some things that I wanted to leave behind, but I am definitely not greedy for money. You also know that the biggest thing that I have come for free is to purchase, and we can't get much of the small fry in the kitchen. Grand Mistress, please forgive me this time. "
The Lin Family's daughter-in-law said everything that she should not have said in a single head, Xie Jingxi was listening at the side with a straight face, thinking that there was actually such a truthful person, if she did not ask any questions, she would admit everything.
The Wang Fu Family's matter had also declined. In any case, if she wanted to kill him, there would be someone to carry the burden, and Wang Fu Family's matter was only worse. She could be considered to have surrendered, so she could be excused.
"Ming Yu went to pour Mother a cup of tea. After talking for half a day, it had also moisturized her throat." After Xie Jingxi finished her cup of tea, she poured herself another, "Your manager lady has always been working hard for our family. My father and mother have always taken notice of your work, and they have often told me not to mistreat you, it's all harmless matters. I also know that it's not easy for you to drag your family out with you, Wang Fu's son is about to get married, your mother's daughter is already twelve or thirteen years old, all of her mouths are for eating.
The Lin Family's daughter-in-law was probably even more confused than the Wang Fu family. She thought to herself, is this the old saying "head cut off rice", why does she sound a little scared. It's fine if the Grand Mistress doesn't pursue the matter, but why does she still have so much face? She had wanted to bring her little daughter into the house early in the morning, but she hadn't been able to find a way out. Not only did Grand Mistress know her thoughts, she even helped her out so kindly.
After that, the Lin Family's daughter-in-law met with the furious Wang Fu family, and the two of them talked at the same time, and almost peed their pants, it seemed like they had been tricked by the Grand Mistress. The Wang Fu family did not say anything, and more importantly, did not need her to say anything.
The Lin Family's daughter-in-law said everything, but Grand Mistress did not ask her what she was doing, and just told her everything. Originally, Wang Fu's wife could still pretend to be stupid, but now that her background had been exposed, she could no longer continue pretending even if she wanted to. In the future, in front of Grand Mistress, would she still have any face?
The two of them looked at each other and couldn't help but shiver. They thought to themselves that they were finished, they just needed to wait for Grand Mistress to kill them, but after trembling in fear for a few days, they didn't see Grand Mistress look for trouble with them. They wondered, what kind of method did Grand Mistress have to do this?
She had only been inside for a few days, and not only did she know everything about her subordinates' homes, she also knew very well that they had done wicked things. Not only was she not punished for it, she also understood the difficulties of their families.
He held onto their weakness and gave them a sweet jujube. As long as they had any brains, they would know who to work for in the future. This time, the two mothers finally understood. So Grand Mistress was such a powerful being, dealing with two of them in just a chat was fine, but they had met before who was more powerful. The key was that the two of them understood each other, so what did they have to say about him?
After the two mothers who had problems with the lives of the common folk within the Marquis Mansion had become well-behaved, the quality of daily life within the Marquis Mansion had improved significantly. Lady Zeng and Marquis did not say much on the surface, but when they paid respects, they saw more smiles on their faces. That day, the Second Young Mistress really went to the Lady Zeng and shamed herself. She was unable to come out and pay respects, but no one cared about it.
On the other hand, Xie Jingxi, who was finally able to sit down and catch her breath, had her head hurt by Gu Heng's sudden visit.
