Chapter 10 Handing over stewardship

Of course the old lady wanted to take back the housekeeping power so that it would be more convenient for her to withdraw money.

However, what she wanted was the right to be the steward of money, not a few messy accounts!

Given the current situation, after we get it back, how can we legitimately ask Ye Qiongying to add money to the fund?

She is very calculating, and Ye Qiongying is not stupid either.

In the previous life, I was just thinking about long-term cooperation, and finding a support for my mother's family was the main purpose. Money was not a big deal for the Ye family, so the problems caused by these people were nothing at all.

But it's different now.

Knowing that her partner was an idiot, she had already decided to tear up the contract and leave. How could she possibly invest more of her own money in it?

The Ye family is not short of money, but she is not short of brains either.

"That's not necessary," Ye Qiongying stood up, "I think there are many talented people in the Marquis' Mansion. You, the old lady, the eldest lady, and Madam Wang. If all else fails, there is also Miss Leng in the courtyard where Yin Xu lives. They are all good housekeepers. I won't compete with you for this matter."

Hearing this, the old lady showed a knowing smile on her face.

I thought Leek was going to quit, but it turns out he was just jealous.

The old lady calmed down, picked up the teacup and gently stroked the lid:

"So it's because of this. Ye, Leng Qianqian is just a concubine without a title. You are the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion and Xu'er's legal wife. Why bother with a cheap woman like her? As long as the housekeeper's power is in your hands, that little maid can't do anything.

For men, it is normal to have several women.

Xu'er has been very good to you and has not taken any concubines in these years. Now he has finally found one to share your worries. Why do you have to make a big fuss about this matter? If it gets out, you will be laughed at.

Listen to me, take this account book back, and don't say those stupid things again."

Ye Qiongying was so angry that she almost laughed.

He hasn't taken a concubine in these years.

Why don’t you take out the money to take a concubine?

Do you really think that you don't need money to bring back a concubine?

And Yin Xu was nice to her before, wasn't that what he should do? She spent money and effort, if Yin Xu didn't show some respect, then he was out of his mind.

For example, Yin Xu after meeting Leng Qianqian.

Ye Qiongying was too lazy to talk nonsense with them, so she took Wen Ping and left:

"That's really not necessary. Madam, you've already said that I'm the legal wife, why should I bother with a concubine?

This concubine will always be a concubine and a slave serving her master.

As the master's legal wife, I should relax and enjoy myself. You can let her do the housekeeping work. I promise I won't have any complaints."

After saying that, without giving them any room to speak, he turned and left.

The old lady was still waiting for Ye Qiongying to win her over and help her deal with the favored concubine, but she didn't expect Ye Qiongying to be so tough and just left. She was dumbfounded.

Looking at the account book next to it gave me an even bigger headache.

He looked at his daughter Yin Man, and then at Wang from the second house.

Yin Man said quickly:

"Mother, I can't control this. How can a married sister take care of her brother's family? This is not okay, it's not okay."

If she can't manage the household, she can abandon her husband's family and live in her parents' home.

Wang Shi saw that the situation was not good, so she quickly stood up and said goodbye:

"Madam, we have things to do in the second house, so I'll go back first. This... you should go talk to my cousin's wife. If it doesn't work, let my cousin go talk to her, and then my cousin's wife will definitely give in."

When the old lady heard this, her eyes lit up.

Yes, talk to your son, it will definitely work!

At this point, they still thought that Ye Qiongying was trying to steal the man. As long as Yin Xu opened his mouth, Ye Qiongying would take back the account book on her own initiative and work hard to earn money for them to spend.

After Ye Qiongying left the West Garden, she returned to her own courtyard.

Wen Ping's tense body finally relaxed at this moment, and she smiled at Ye Qiongying:

"The master is so majestic today! Hahahaha, the expressions of the old lady and the others after seeing the account book were really amazing!"

Ye Qiongying leaned on the couch, a smile appeared on her face:

"Really? There will be plenty of opportunities for their wonderful expressions to appear later. Oh, by the way, let's get ready. Seeing them wearing new clothes today reminded me that I haven't bought anything for myself in a long time. Let's go out and take a look tomorrow."

"Really? That's great, Master!" Wen Ping jumped up happily, "I'll go get it ready right away!"

In the past, the master often went out to play.

Later, when the master and his family got into trouble, the mistress became depressed and married into the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion. Every day she was either busy with this or that, and was completely oppressed by the rules of the Marquis' Mansion. For Yin Xu, she had to pretend to be those dignified and elegant ladies, and never went out to play again.

She didn't care about new clothes or new jewelry, so she basically sent them to other courtyards every month. She only needed things that fit her and were wearable.

Now that her master finally figured it out, Wen Ping was happy for her.

If it can make the master become as carefree and unrestrained as before, there seems to be nothing wrong with divorce...

Ye Qiongying felt relieved, but Yin Xu was not so relieved.

Yin Xu, who had just been affectionate with Leng Qianqian and was about to go out to visit his colleagues, was stopped by Nanny Chen sent by the old lady before he even left the yard.

Nanny Chen was also complaining in her heart.

I’m old and this is my second trip today.

But the master of the mansion can't just send a little maid to come and call him, right?

The only option was to ask the old lady's personal nanny to come.

Yin Xu was still very concerned about the old lady, his biological mother. When he saw Nanny Chen coming, he immediately cancelled his plan to go out and hurried to the West Garden.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw my mother and elder sister sitting inside.

At this time, Wang had already returned to the second house.

Anyway, she has helped to come up with the solution, so the rest can be left to the old lady and the others. Whether it succeeds or not, it won't implicate her.

Besides, she is the wife of the second cousin's brother. Her husband is not here, so it is not very convenient for her to stay here and meet her cousin. It would be better for her to go back and wait for news.

When the old lady saw her son coming, she felt like she had found a backer and couldn't wait to tell him what had happened.

Of course, when she said it, it became that Ye Qiongying was using the power of the housekeeper to be jealous and threatened Yin Xu to go to the main courtyard more often and not to favor the concubine blindly.

Having said that, the old lady still advised:

"Xu'er, she is your legal wife after all, and... our mansion still needs her. You can pamper Leng Qianqian, but don't neglect the main courtyard too much. It's okay to go to the headquarters a few times a month. It's just right, you can go today, the account book is here, take it to Ye."

She patted the account book beside her with a confident look on her face.

Ye Qiongying is now in a bad mood and disobedient, but her son is very obedient to her, so she can naturally control Ye Qiongying!
