After saying that, she stretched out her hand to pick up her micrognathia, causing his appetite to rise from her smooth and small mouth …
One could only imagine the outcome of the final discussion. Mu Rousang had once again been stripped dry and ate, with the takeaway equipment.
Early in the morning on the second day, Yang Zixuan brought Mu Rousang to pay respects to the Madam Hou, and then he went to the yamen, while Mu Rousang stayed behind to listen to the orders. In order to calm her down, the Madam Hou specially made the little girl put on a bun, and put on some pearl jade jewelry.
Mu Rousang only felt that she had a tall stick of candied fruits on her head, and couldn't help but laugh with her head lowered.
After the Madam Hou waited for Yang Zixuan's little fox to leave, he felt the pressure on his body disappear. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief, and smilingly waved at Mu Rousang, saying: "Good child, quickly come and let Mother see, it's been snowing for the past few days, so as to not let your Wan'er come and greet you. And because you're so far away from home, your heart is always on guard, I'm afraid that you might not be used to living in that place."
Mu Rousang thanked her very politely, and without wasting time with her, she said lightly: "Grandmother sent people to say yesterday that Eldest Sis is not feeling well, and since New Year's Day is approaching, Mother is so busy that her feet aren't touching the ground, so she specifically sent her daughter-in-law over to help."
Originally, she had planned to take advantage of Su Waner's absence to grab some silver from her private house. Her father had already asked someone to pass a message to her, since the current crown prince's wife might not be able to make it through this year. Her words meant that she wanted to push Yang Juan Er up, so if that really happened, she would get more private rooms for her.
He never thought that he would take the opportunity to push Su Waner down, and that old fogey would once again bring this heart-piercing Sun's daughter-in-law Shu up to fight with her.
"Ai, I was thinking about how you would travel in the snow every day, afraid that your body wouldn't be able to take it. You'll have to open up some leaves for the third house when you're young!"
Mu Rousang did not like the hypocritical Madam Hou. Seeing that she was implying that he should not come, she was annoyed, and sweetly said: "Look at mother's heartache, even if it's about this point, as a daughter-in-law, she would not dare to make mother tired, not to mention that Grandmother has personally spoken. Naturally, she should come and help mother."
However, he didn't mention whether she was willing or not.
Madam Hou was completely angered by her words. Since they were all born of the same family, she naturally wouldn't say such unpleasant words publicly. She only felt sullen in her heart.
She sat on the high seat and thought to herself, this favor cannot be left to her, this is the Hou Mansion's people that she holds in her hands, and even more so, the matter of the kitchen sales cannot be left to her. This slut comes from a village, so she is naturally very familiar with the prices of those cheap things. Since the women under Madam Hou were harsh, she was happy to turn a blind eye. Naturally, she could not reveal the secrets of the Wives.
"Mother!" You're looking for me? " Yang Juan Er, dressed in an orange plaid robe with a luxurious gold lock on his neck, ran in with a cold breeze.
When Madam Hou saw his own daughter, a rare smile that came from the bottom of his heart appeared on his face. He reached out to hug her and caressed her little hands, frowning in anger: "Where are your two maids? "Why are you so careless?"
Yang Juan Er acted like a spoiled child in her arms: "They are behind, didn't I miss my mother?"
"Good child, quickly greet your third sister-in-law." Madam Hou patted her back lightly.
Only then did Yang Juan Er realize that Mu Rousang was there. Originally, Madam Hou was afraid that she would say something unpleasant, she immediately looked at the people around her, leaving behind a few of her trusted aides and the rest who quietly retreated.
Mu Rousang sneered in her heart, she was afraid that another unfavorable news would spread to Yang Juan Er's reputation.
"Eh, so Sister-in-law is also here. Juan Er greets sister-in-law." Yang Juan Er bowed very politely, and without waiting for Mu Rousang's signal, he stood up on his own.
However, Yang Juan Er's next action scared her, and she only saw Yang Juan Er call a servant to help her move Xiu Dun to her side, and then extend his arm to grab her arm, looking like a harmonious relationship between sister-in-law and sister-in-law, shocking Mu Rousang to the point that her back turned cold, secretly cursing in her heart that Yang Zixuan was too impatient yesterday and had forgotten to ask him about this matter.
"Mother, Fourth Sister is getting more and more charming."
Madam Hou muttered in his heart, This child is too fast, why is he so nice to a concubine?
"Sigh, if I could be as obedient and as sensible as you, I would feel at ease." Even at this moment, Madam Hou did not forget to use this chance to trick her.
Mu Rousang lowered her eyelids as though she was thinking about something, Yang Juan Er laughed: "Mother, did you call me here for something?"
Madam Hou was confused about her daughter's personality. Hearing her ask, he smiled and said, "Isn't this your sister-in-law's body feeling uncomfortable?"
Hearing that, Yang Juan Er mocked: Isn't it because she is a good person outside that wants to talk about Sister-in-law? Even if she wants to take advantage of Sister-in-law's money, she is afraid of being pushed out by others, she did not think, that Sister-in-law has more dowry than her, and even needs to sell her own dowry. If she thinks that outsiders are fools, then let's go back. If it wasn't for her pulling my brother's face, how could my brother have hit her?
Mu Rousang quietly glanced at the Madam Hou, and saw that she did not have a face full of displeasure, but in her heart, she felt that with Yang Juan Er, this kind of close friend, it was rather pitiful. Of course, sympathy was sympathy, she did not have the kind intentions to help her, she just sat there and watched the show.
The suspicion in Madam Hou's heart grew even stronger. Yang Juan Er's attitude had changed a bit too much, and after thinking about it again, when Yang Juan Er was released from his confinement, Mu Rousang was either at Matriarch Yang's place or in his own courtyard, unable to leave. He really did not see that the two of them had anything to do with each other, so she decided to be careful.
"So your grandmother told her to take good care of herself at home. Presumably, it was because she didn't have a biological child that she was able to see outsiders like this."
However, the Madam Hou herself knew that he had gone through great difficulties to get her to marry him. If she did not marry him, no one would dare come and ask for marriage, and even if Yang Juan Er's marriage was implicated, Su Waner would only be confined in the family to be afraid of her going back to his mother's family to complain. This was the reason why he decided to stay at home to recuperate from his injuries.
Mu Rousang became more and more apprehensive. In the eyes of the Madam Hou, this daughter-in-law that was separated by a level was nothing, she was afraid that she was even less of it. With that thought, she became more vigilant, and started to pay attention to the words of the Madam Hou.
"Then wouldn't I have no place to play?" Yang Juan Er had never thought about her, he only thought about the Big Brother Mu, and smiled sweetly at Mu Rousang: "Good sister-in-law, the last time I played at your place, I found it very quiet, today, sister-in-law's body is not clean, if you have free time in the future, I hope you do not mind me. I will go there often to nag about it."
When she said that, both Madam Hou and Mu Rousang started to size her up.
Madam Hou thought for a bit, then looked at Mu Rousang slyly and laughed: "Juan Er, your third daughter-in-law is also my daughter-in-law. If you like her, you should walk around a bit.
Mu Rousang actually wanted to reply: She also did not realize that she had been 'fated' with this Yang Juan Er.
"Mother, Fourth Sister and I will be housekeepers in the future, so naturally, we will have to be together often and have some business to discuss with each other. We will inevitably have to interact more."
Madam Hou didn't think that Yang Juan Er would be moved, he only thought that Mu Rousang used some underhanded method to call her own child a devil, and thought that Mu Rousang was a good person.
"Butler? Mom, which department do I care about? " The Madam Hou did not know how to assess the amount yet, but Yang Juan Er started to shout anxiously in order to curry favor with Mu Rousang.
If not for the fact that Madam Hou was familiar with her personality, she would have thought that this daughter of hers was stolen!
"I've thought it over and over again. I was the one in charge of this kitchen, so if she was suddenly asked to hand over the job, she wouldn't be satisfied."
When Mu Rousang heard this, she knew that the Madam Hou did not want her to interfere in the kitchen, and she did not want him to eat so much, so it was impossible to prevent her from doing so. Even when she came to the residence, she still took the opportunity to get a Kitchen, so she did not dare to take the matter on, and quickly replied: "Mother is right, this manager is already here, so we can do whatever we want.
It was just a few sentences, but she understood the Matriarch Yang's intentions. She wanted to make sure that she knew about the people in the manor, and that she knew what to do with them, as well as how to take care of them, in order to keep herself safe in the manor, but unfortunately, she, Mu Rousang, was born to be a lazy person.
The Madam Hou was very satisfied with her reply, so she said: "I had originally wanted you to take care of this matter of welcoming guests. However, you also know that Juan Er will definitely want to marry someone next year, and I can't even teach her these things. This year, I wanted her to take care of them, so that I could teach her how to register and return the gifts."
Mu Rousang was not the least bit interested in the connections that the Madam Hou had. No matter how good it was, could it be better than the connections that the Princess Huaiqing, Princess Jing'an, and her own uncle had? She scoffed at the Madam Hou's thoughts.
"It's up to mother to decide."
She was still in a hurry to go home and settle accounts. Could she give him a quick death? She was just going to be thrown aside to meddle in other people's business.
Madam Hou did not expect that she did not want to be a director at all, this was outside of her expectations, but it fit her perfectly, so she smiled and said: "You really are a sensible child, why don't you take care of this area of sacrifices, every year you must not neglect this part."
Mu Rousang originally did not want to agree, but after thinking about it, no matter how much Yang Zixuan hated the Hou Mansion, he could not change his identity as a disciple of Young's.
