She was not a rash and brainless person like Xie Jingqi, who took one step at a time to make sure that Lady Zeng would not fall for her trap, which was why she dared to come looking for Xie Jingxi so blatantly. It was just that she did not have a deep understanding of the Marquis Mansion, and was in a hurry to succeed, which was why she was in such a situation.

However, Aunt Fang had forgotten that she was just an aunt who had just entered the household. Her identity and position were all wrong, and even Lady Zeng was still in the limelight, why would these servants want to buy her? Marquis Mansion only requires her to be able to help Gu Heng spread his branches and leaves. Without this layer, even if you have ten grandaunts supporting you, you will only be the second Xie Jingqi, and might even be inferior to her.

She was not afraid of the Aunt Fang checking out the debts, was she? Could it be that Xie Jingxi was afraid of the Aunt Fang clearly showing her provocation, but your Grand Mistress would not let her do as she pleases? With Xie Jingxi here, it would not be easy to find out.

Therefore, the benefits offered by the Aunt Fang was not enough to move Li Zhangfang, because Li Zhangfang's foundation was not as shallow as she had imagined. But when Li Zhangfang came over to express his loyalty, Xie Jingxi had to give her face, so she acted as if he would make the decision on her behalf and sent her away.

However, things were not as easy as she thought. Not long after Li Zhangfang left, the storehouse manager, the Chen family came again, and Xie Jingxi had only just had a sip of tea when the Chen family's people ran into the room. They opened their mouths and started firing continuously.

Back then, when Aunt Fang went to our warehouse to prepare a birthday feast for our wife, she found out that all the tools were outdated, not worthy to be used for our wife's birthday. Those words said that we did not manage properly and did not look after the tools properly, and that it was to be re-established, what kind of logic was that, before she came, everyone used them well, and that the red coral potted pot was bought from the south side of the city at a high price last year, but after using it once, she did not notice anything, and did not know where she came from.

Xie Jingxi hurriedly said: "Quickly sit down and rest for a while. It's such a hot day, let's talk slowly if you have anything to say."

That Aunt Fang was originally not trying to bully her, she was probably just trying to make things difficult for Xie Jingxi. It was just that she did not expect to break the Chen family's bottom line, and the words she said immediately changed, Aunt Fang had suffered a loss due to it.

Don't be angry, I will tell mother about this matter. I have always watched your actions carefully, I will not complain about it, Aunt Fang is extremely filial and did not have any ill intentions, please do not take it to heart. "

"Grand Mistress, you are a sincere person, and the stewards of our house have never seen anyone as compassionate as you, they truly respect you from the bottom of their hearts, so I have to remind you something, you have to be careful of this Aunt Fang, with Grandma Dagu supporting her, your face is big, you have to make up your mind to take over Marquis Mansion, and kick you off the stage!"

It seemed that the Chen family had pure intentions, Xie Jingxi could only send them off with good words, and then it became quiet for a moment, Ming Yu added a new ice cube, and fanned her with it to cool her down, "Miss, why do you say that, you have not even warmed up your butt after just returning, there are too many words from them, and young lady, you are already sweating, do you want to wash this again?"

Xie Jingxi rubbed her swollen forehead, "Forget it, I won't be bathing. I still have to go back to my mother's place.

When Xie Jingxi returned to the residence, she had to pay respects to the Lady Zeng, who was probably waiting for her to reveal herself. When Xie Jingxi returned, she had to pay respects to the Lady Zeng, who was probably waiting for her to reveal herself, even if she was unwilling.

Aunt Fang was indeed in Lady Zeng's room. Other than eating and sleeping, she went back to her own room and spent most of her time in front of Lady Zeng to pay attention to her. She even made Feng Jing stand aside as if she was an old empress dowager that was waiting on Lady Zeng.

When Xie Jingxi entered, the Aunt Fang came over to welcome him, "It's Grand Mistress who has returned, madam is talking about you. She had told us to prepare the ice early in the morning, and used the ice cubes and fresh fruits on Young Mistress first, saying that it was easy for you to catch the heat while on the boat, it is very considerate of you."

She was originally born pretty good, but after dressing up, she looked like that. With Xie Jingxi's familiarity, if one didn't know better, they would think of her as sister-in-law.

Moreover, you immediately gave her eye medicine, which meant that you, as her wife, didn't come over to greet your mother-in-law as soon as you arrived. This is too outrageous.

Xie Jingxi did not take care of her, and went over to pay respects to the Lady Zeng, "I have to worry about mother, my wife is fine during the journey, it's just that after the summer, she'll be better after resting for a while, has Mother been well?

It seemed like the Aunt Fang did not waste her effort, and had served the Lady Zeng well. The Lady Zeng laughed, "I'm fine, it's fortunate that the Aunt Fang comes here to talk to me all day, and served me well, my body is much better than it would be in the spring."

"Madam, what are you saying? Isn't this my responsibility? Even if I am married, I have nothing to do, so if I don't serve you, who should I serve?"

"There's nothing for you to do. It's more important for you to conceive of her first. This old woman is very easy to serve."

Speaking of his son, the Aunt Fang lowered her head bashfully. Seems like Gu Heng must have entered her house many times, and was able to speak with confidence, "Mistress has missed me, the Grand Mistress's first door wouldn't have any reaction, so it's not my turn."

He had not made any noise in the past half year that he had been in the Grand Mistress's room, but this was already a matter of concern to the Second Branch. As long as the Eldest Young Master did not say anything, then who would care about that?

Forget about Lady Zeng, even Marquis didn't dare to touch this unlucky thing. Aunt Fang's words were a bit too much.

Seeing that no one replied, Aunt Fang laughed awkwardly, then changed the topic: "My wife's birthday is soon to be decided, this time I am really flustered, luckily you are back, Grand Mistress, so I can ease my burden a lot."

Xie Jingxi said: "There's always a first time, I see that Aunt Fang has always been very thorough with her work, I have to take this opportunity to hide myself, and at the same time, get ready."

Lady Zeng pointed at her and laughed: "Look at her, she only took a few months to think of quitting."

A few of the manager lady s thought the same, I actually added a bit of trouble to the situation, I was even thinking of asking the Grand Mistress for Fang Dai's help. "" So it's like that.

Xie Jingxi raised her eyebrows, lowered her head and drank a cup of tea. She really couldn't say it out loud.

Lady Zeng opened her mouth: Fang Dai that girl is indeed capable, look at your eldest brother's wife who has not been in the house for a long time, she has managed everything in a neat and orderly manner, it can be seen that she is capable, but not capable, only talented people will be able to do so, Aunt Fang you must learn more.

"Why would it be hard? If Aunt Fang has anything she wants to help her with, go ahead and find her. We're family, why would we need to be so formal with her?"

Aunt Fang's face revealed joy, "Then I won't be courteous with Grand Mistress, there is one thing I need to do, and that is to ask for your approval, if you are not here, Li Zhangfang would not dare to give me the silver, and would wait for your approval.

"Aunt Fang is full of filial piety. I said not to go overboard, it's better to save a bit."

Lady Zeng's tone of voice made it seem like she was watching a good show. Aunt Fang was filled with filial piety, and if Xie Jingxi was against it, then it would be unfilial.

"Aunt Fang also wants to make Mother happy, and today I told Li Zhangfang, as long as we can't get out of the big picture, it's fine to add more, but I think father wouldn't object, as recently as Marquis Mansion is a small matter, taking advantage of Mother's good days to add to the happiness."

saw that she did not object, and was secretly happy in her heart, but Lady Zeng came back to reality, although the first half of the year of Marquis Mansion was indeed filled with endless events, but most of them were not good, speaking of Eldest Miss's failure this year, logically speaking, he should not have caused any trouble at this time of year, if her family members were to die, all festivals would be simplified, although Eldest Miss was only a little kid, and do not mind most of the times, but Eldest Miss's matters were different, as a grandmother, she should be more sad, but if she were to hold a birthday feast now, it would not be too taboo.

Xie Jingxi had mentioned the Marquis, but since this matter did not get the approval of the Marquis, it did not seem right, so the Lady Zeng became somewhat nervous, "I am satisfied with your filial piety, my eldest son and wife do not need to bother with what the Aunt Fang says, just follow the usual rules, in the first half of the year, the household's expenses will be too much, I know that it will be difficult to take care of the boss, so it will not be hard for you."

The Lady Zeng was selfish, but she was not stupid, at the most crucial moment, she could still hear others talking about it. Xie Jingxi saw that she had relaxed, and did not say much, "I have to thank mother for her understanding, then we will do as mother says, it should be lively, let's invite more people to our residence to celebrate."

Aunt Fang did not know why Lady Zeng suddenly changed her mind, and thought that she was saying it intentionally. Just as she was about to mention it again, she heard Gu Heng coming back.

Xie Jingxi was startled, she had thought that if she knew earlier, she wouldn't be talking nonsense with the Lady Zeng, she would have met him if she were to walk away earlier. Right now, she did not want to meet Gu Heng at all, and would feel fear and trepidation whenever she saw him.
