"But, aren't you afraid that Mother will punish you if the matter is exposed?" Cheng Wenqing had long since gotten used to listening to Eldest Princess alone, yet to let his wife and his daughter-in-law make their move so quickly in front of her mother, he felt a little uneasy.
"Master, you don't have to be afraid. Lan Xin and I have already planned this beforehand. Moreover, whatever arrangements Her Highness Eldest Princess has made, that is her problem. "I can't just wait and do nothing. Wouldn't Lan Xin and I be so worried?" Second Grandmother actually feared and did not dare to be presumptuous in front of Eldest Princess, this mother-in-law.
But the problem was more important, if Cheng Fengyue's family really inherited the position of Marquis, then they would really suffer.
Therefore, the first thing to do was to get rid of Cheng Guanyue, so that they would not have the most important backing.
In any case, Cheng Guanyue was at home right now, and she could do anything to her at any time. So what were they waiting for?
"However, if mother were to blame me, I would not be able to protect you. Furthermore, it's not like you don't know that your mother has always kept her word. Without her permission, you can't make decisions without her permission. " Why did Cheng Wenqing listen to Eldest Princess's words? It was because Eldest Princess was extremely skilled, strict in her work, and gave her a fair amount of rewards and penalties.
Moreover, if one was determined, it would definitely be worth ten Marquis Cheng s.
"Old master, don't say anymore. If the blame falls on me, then I'll take it all on myself. I'm sure you won't be part of this, do you think?" The more Cheng Wenqing said, the more uncertain Second Grandmother felt in her heart.
It's just that Eldest Princess was old and didn't have much time to live.
So her fear was only temporary, and once Eldest Princess's figure was no longer in the Palace, then she would have to put on airs.
He didn't need to be afraid of Eldest Princess forever pressing on top of her head, unable to support his waist.
"Fine, I'll leave this to you. You don't have to implicate me." What Cheng Wenqing was afraid of the most was getting mixed up in this kind of mess, if not he would not take the initiative to find Eldest Princess and make a decision.
On the other side, when Eldest Princess heard that Second Grandmother and the Second Madam had moved together, she straightforwardly put down the buddhist beads in her hands and said sternly: "They think I'm old and useless; Eunuch Xi, tell me, is this daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law of mine really too capable? They don't even need an old granny like me to worry about them. "
"Your Highness, don't be angry. Second Grandmother and the Second Madam are acting in such a hurry because of Second Elder's consideration. However, even if Aunt Zhang discovers that something is wrong, she would definitely not reveal it, after all, this matter is not exposed, other than that little girl Cui Qing who is still young and inexperienced, the rest of the related people were all dealt with by this servant, there will definitely not be any problems or problems. " Eunuch Xi had stayed in the Cheng Residence for so many years, what could escape his notice.
In the end, it was because Second Grandmother and the others were not intelligent enough and did not have the experience to do things easily that others would notice.
Luckily he discovered it early this time and dealt with it quickly. He would definitely be able to cover it up and not let Cheng Guanyue and the others find out any evidence to prove that Second Grandmother and the Second Madam had colluded against her.
"You don't need to say it. I still don't know your abilities. I just need to wait a hundred years. Will they really be able to take on this duke's manor and make it so that no one can touch them?" Eldest Princess had calculated for dozens of years, in the end, it was all to allow Cheng Wenqing and the others to inherit the position of Marquis.
But looking at it now, if anyone could afford to enter the house of the Marquis, they wouldn't be lacking Eunuch Xi and her, or else they would be in a mess and become out of place.
"Your Highness, who can guess what will happen in the future?" However, from what I can see, the ones in charge of this house are probably the Fourth Young Master and the Fifth Young Master. Although the Fourth Young Master does not seem to be working properly on the surface, from what this old servant can see, the Fourth Young Master is a bit impulsive. "As for the fifth young master, there's no need to talk about him. Since he's already famous far away at such a young age, his future will definitely be bright!" Eunuch Xi slowly said according to his own understanding.
"You're right, there are only two people in this house that are not bad, but they are still too young to take on any responsibilities. I'm afraid there are others waiting." Eldest Princess had originally wanted to bring Cheng Wenqing up, but unfortunately, Cheng Wenqing was just a rotten wood, and couldn't even compare to half of him.
Therefore, he could only place his hopes on others.
It was a pity that he and Cheng Wenqing were not close, and there was a gap between them. As he was afraid that he would not be able to rely on Cheng Wenqing, he could only choose to target Cheng Mingyuan and Cheng Qi.
"Then Your Highness, do you want to punish this Second Grandmother and Second Madam?" Eunuch Xi asked carefully.
"Of course, in case this old woman hasn't died yet, they will not put me in their eyes." Eldest Princess hated people who interfered in her affairs the most. She had clearly already arranged it, there was no need for them to arrange it.
Indeed, on the morning of the second day, Second Grandmother and the Second Madam's authority as butler had been given to Su Chunmei.
This was naturally at Eldest Princess's behest. No matter how the two of them tried to stop her, they could not change this outcome.
It could be considered a small punishment from Eldest Princess, who warned them not to go beyond her and decide things for themselves.
This was because most of the power within the manor was still in her hands.
What she wanted to do with them had to be left to her, not for them to do behind her back.
"Eldest sister-in-law, the books are all here. You can take care of all the big and small matters in the house of the Marquis by yourself, don't you have any objections?" Although Second Wife Shen Lanxin had an indifferent attitude, the look in her eyes when she looked down on Su Chunmei was not lying.
Seeing that, Su Chunmei laughed: "Look at your words, I have no objections. Since you handed over the authority of the butler to me, then I will take responsibility for the whole matter, I guarantee that you will not be disappointed."
When she was eating last night, she had already noticed that Shen Lanxin had some complaints about her, but so what? Although she was born in poverty, she knew that her ability to learn was still pretty good.
Shen Lanxin did not expect Su Chunmei to be so stubborn, to actually talk like that. She thought that she would be terrified, ask her for advice, ask her for advice, come from the butler, or be modest, but in the end, Su Chunmei just opened his mouth to smile at her, with a look of "I am very capable", it pissed her off.
