Aunt Wei noticed the madame's displeasure and quickly kneeled on the ground. "Please don't be angry, madame. It's not that I don't respect you, but I must wear these half-worn clothes to come out. It was really … The clothes for the new spring are not ready yet. For the time being, I only have these half-worn clothes. "

The clothes for the new spring had not been made, so it was unlikely that he would wear these old clothes!

The old mistress' face darkened, her eyes filled with malice. "I've seen your clothes for three or four years already. Could it be that you haven't worn any new clothes these past three or four years?"

To reply the madame, I have also sent a maid to ask her about the clothes. It's just that the nanny beside her has always been pushing things aside, saying that there are too many things in the palace. The Aunt Li is extremely busy, so she told me to go back to my own courtyard and wait for news, then there would be no more information. The more Aunt Wei spoke, the more wronged she got. The pain in his heart from being suppressed by the Madam Li all these years surged to the top of his heart.

The maidservant who brought her back immediately went to the Countess' side and lowered her voice for a long time. It was likely that she had told her everything she had seen in the Aunt Wei Courtyard.

When she heard that Aunt Wei had bribed the servant girl with a few copper coins, the Old Mistress was angry and amused at the same time.

She hadn't been in the palace for so many years, but the Madam Li actually dared to be so harsh on the palace's aunt. Did he really think that just because his elder sister was the palace's Imperial Noble Consort, she would be able to cover the sky with one hand?

"Go and call Madam Li over. I want to see how busy she is. How did she become this house if she couldn't even make Aunt's clothes for three or four years."

The servants immediately obeyed the madame's orders and brought Madam Li over.

The Madam Li had been operating in the Duke Palaces for so many years, so naturally they had many spies.

Before she had even reached Qingfeng Courtyard, she had already known the whole story. She had even brought along the nanny beside her who was in contact with the Aunt Wei.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw the madame's gloomy face. Her gaze was like a knife, stabbing at her face until it hurt.

"Madam Li, Aunt Wei said that her clothes haven't been completed in three or four years, is this true?"

"There's actually such a thing?" Aunt Li was flabbergasted as she used a handkerchief to cover her lips, looking as if she did not know anything. "This humble one has never heard of such a thing, could it be that the old lady has misunderstood this humble one?"

The old lady smirked and pointed to the clothes on Aunt Wei's body, "Look at what Aunt Wei is wearing today. A set of old clothes is already the best she can take out. In the past few years, where have all the clothes that the estate had made for her been? "

Madam Li refused to admit that she knew about this, "Old madam, I have always been taking care of the Duke's Mansion and doing things according to the rules. Every season's worth of clothes in Aunt Wei has been prepared by someone, it's impossible that there wouldn't be any left for the servants to send over."

"Then tell me, she's just an aunt, the teacups in the room are all broken, why can't she change them?" Then tell me, she's just an aunt, the teacups in the room are all broken, why can't she change them? The Old Mistress would not be fooled by her just like that. If she caught this matter, she would have to discipline the Madam Li.

The Madam Li appeared to be in a difficult situation, her beautiful face revealed a look of worry, "Madam, you don't know whose house is lacking, and they all need to send their own people to report it to the steward. Aunt Wei herself did not report it, so how could I specially send someone to her house to see what was missing? "

His words were smooth and smooth. The madame was angered by her and laughed. "So you don't know anything then?"

"I don't know much about the Aunt Wei, please forgive me." Madam Li smiled slightly, the corners of her eyes were full of pride.

She had gotten rid of Aunt Wei's food and clothes all these years, and had thought that this person would be hiding in that small side courtyard, living a life without being noticed. Who would have thought that she would be in front of the old mistress?

But so what? No matter how much Aunt Wei complained, she could still push it off cleanly. No matter what, Aunt Wei could not climb onto her body.

Just as Madam Li was gleefully thinking this, she heard the old lady speak in a low voice, "The eldest is handing over the Duke's Mansion to you to take care of, that is to trust your ability and your character. But now it seems that boss has made a mistake."

"Aunt Wei doesn't even have a decent piece of clothing or jewelry, yet you said that you didn't know about it. That it was all done by the servants, and that you didn't know how to solve the problem, only knowing how to shirk responsibility. Is this how you take care of this huge palace?"

When Madam Li saw that the old lady doubted his ability, and recalled how he had been given the authority to manage the warehouse by Madam Wang, he felt that the other party did not come with good intentions. He became cautious, and pointed at nanny beside him.

That's why I brought my own grandson over here. She has been helping me handle the matters of concubines all year round, so the old mistress might as well ask her what exactly happened. "Feng Siniang said with a smile.

The old mistress' gaze landed on the nanny behind her. The nanny was about fifty years old and was dressed in green, with a silver hairpin on her head. She stood perfectly straight behind the Madam Li and had a grandeur that was even more impressive than the Aunt Wei as a master.

There was coldness in her eyes, "nanny Sun, Aunt Li said that she will leave this matter to you. Tell me the whole story."

The old mistress paused for a moment, and then lifted the corners of her lips, "If you can't give me a reason …"

To reply the madame, "the nanny saluted towards the madame and had already thought of a solution," The clothes and furniture in the various courtyards are all given a certain amount. The old servant is also urging the steward to prepare everything for the masters as soon as possible.

She glanced in the direction of the Aunt Wei and cried out for herself, "The distribution of items in each courtyard requires a matchup. If there is no match, then the steward is naturally not allowed to give anything. The cards in the courtyard of Aunt Wei disappeared without a trace three years ago. Even if the manager knew that she was the concubine of the family, without a match, he would not be able to hand over her clothes and accessories.

Her words were very reasonable, making it impossible to find anything wrong with them.

The Old Mistress looked at Aunt Wei, her eyes filled with questions, "That pair of cards you used, has it been lost for three years already?"
