"Young Master," Xu Ruoshui hurriedly pulled him to sit down, "Don't talk." Knowing that he was pretending, he had to accompany him.
"Dad, don't listen to big brother's nonsense. How could mother do this?" Meng Tianqi, who was silent, finally said, "Brother is not clear-headed and we can't follow him. Just let the girl go back when she's better."
How could Mr. Meng not believe Meng Tianbo's words? His face became even darker, "No wonder why Dr. Zhou can't find the disease. It turns out you are playing this trick. Madam, madam, what on earth do you want to do? She is just a maid.
Yes, you actually treat her like this. I think you should leave your family alone and just think about it for a month."
Mr. Meng's decision was surprising.
"Dad, what did you say? Did you ask mother not to take care of the house?" Meng Tianqi thought he heard wrongly and stood up in shock.
"The matter is settled, madam. This month, you can eat fast and chant Buddha's name, reflect on your mistakes, and you are not allowed to leave this courtyard without my instructions." Master Meng said.
"Master, a maid makes you so careless about the relationship between husband and wife that you let me sit facing the wall and think about it for a month?" Mrs. Meng could no longer sit still and looked at Master Meng in disbelief.
"It's not that I don't care about the relationship between husband and wife, but what you did... almost damaged the reputation of our Meng family. This is not a small matter, let alone the next time." Everyone knew that Mr. Meng was a good person, so the business
Only then did it go smoothly.
"Master, listen to me, I am also doing it for the reputation of our house. Think about it, that girl Zi Yan was my wife for Bo'er. You know this," Mr. Meng grabbed Mr. Meng's hand.
"But Hongxing cheated on her and hooked up with Yu Wenjun. If I don't punish you, won't all the maids follow suit?"
"This is a different matter," Master Meng swatted her hand away, "Why didn't you punish her at the beginning? You only punished her after a month had passed? If other maids follow the same example, it will be because of your lax housekeeping."
In fact, Mr. Meng is not confused at all. The shrewdness of a businessman can also work in the back house.
"No, Master, please listen to what I say..." Mrs. Meng was so anxious that she even dropped the Buddhist beads in her hand to the ground. She accidentally stepped on them and slipped to the ground in the blink of an eye. The pain made her cry.
Came out.
"Look at how decent you are. As a wife, you are always making trouble on the ground. It seems that it is right for you to face the wall and think about your fault," Mr. Meng said angrily.
"Mom, did you fall?" Meng Tianqi pulled his own mother up, dissatisfied with Master Meng's treatment of her, "Dad, what have you allowed to confuse your mind to treat your mother like this?"
"Qi'er, why are you talking to dad like this? Do you think your mother's approach is right?" Master Meng's rhetorical question made Meng Tianqi speechless. His lips moved twice and he was speechless.
Mr. Meng’s question is very meaningful. His business needs a kind-hearted person to inherit it. If Meng Tianqi thinks that Mrs. Meng’s approach is right, Mr. Meng will definitely worry about his family business. This is also the case for Meng Tianqi.
The reason for being speechless.
"Son, that's not what you meant. If you let your mother sit on the wall and think about her fault, then who will take care of the house?" Meng Tianqi hurriedly explained it to himself.
Wang Mengjiao and Fang Liying had hope at the same time. They glanced at each other and then turned away their heads in disgust.
Mr. Meng didn't think about it. He first looked at the two women on Meng Tianqi's side and sighed in his heart. It's a pity that Ruoshui's child is not here, otherwise it would be her who would take over the family. "Qi'er, you will definitely take over this family in the future."
Yes, the housekeeper must be your wife, but you are not married yet, I think..."
Fang Liying and Wang Mengjiao were ready to say thank you, but Master Meng's eyes moved to Xu Ruoshui and said, "Let Wan Qiu take care of things for this month. This child is stable and I can trust him."
Why is it her? How can a concubine who fills a house take care of the house? This is what Wang Mengjiao is thinking.
Fang Liying thought, luckily it's her. If it were Wang Mengjiao's house, I would have to fight for it. Forget it, it only takes a month. When I become the second young mistress, I will naturally be in charge of this house.
With a look of panic on her face, Xu Ruoshui knelt down and said, "Dad, it can't be done. How can my daughter-in-law take care of the house if she doesn't understand anything? You'd better take it back."
At first glance, Mrs. Meng breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Xu Ruoshui was the housekeeper. This daughter-in-law was very easy to control. If she dared to make her own decisions, she would kill her after a month. It happened to be that she took advantage of this month.
I should also take good care of myself during the time. I don’t know why, but I have been uneasy since I found Wangmeiyuan’s skeleton. “Lan Qiu, your father said that you should take care of it, so just take care of it.”
"Mom, please don't..." Xu Ruoshui couldn't tell whether Mrs. Meng was sincere or fake.
"If you don't understand anything, just ask Mother Wang and she will help you." Mrs. Meng said.
"Since mother said so, my wife-in-law just has to bite the bullet and accept it. If you don't understand anything, you should ask mother." How could Xu Ruoshui ignore Mrs. Meng.
Mr. Meng only nodded after hearing this, "This is the best thing."
"That's great, great. From now on, I will eat candied haws on a stick every day," Meng Tianbo raised his head happily. The expressions of Meng Tianqi and Mrs. Meng changed slightly at the mention of the candied haws, but they soon recovered.
Mother Wang was very unhappy when she heard that the eldest mistress was in charge of the house, but because it was Master Meng's order, she did not dare to ask Mrs. Meng, so she had to go to Xu Ruoshui honestly. However, she had thought about it, and it was not difficult for the eldest mistress to do something for her.
, I have been the housekeeper of Meng Mansion for so many years in vain.
"Young Mistress, here are the expenses for tomorrow's kitchen. Take a look at it. If there is no problem, I will go down and arrange it." Mother Wang handed over a piece of paper with the vegetables, rice and other items to be used tomorrow clearly written on it.
.
Xu Ruoshui had just taken it, but before she could take a closer look, Yan'er came in, leaned into her ear and said, "Mr. Yu is here to pick up Zi Yan, would you like to go take a look, please?"
Xu Ruoshui was still in the flower hall of Chunhui Hall at this time. Mother Wang came to see something, so she couldn't go back directly. She didn't expect that Yu Wenjun came so quickly and went directly to his Ningxiang Hall.
"Mom, go to the accounting room and get two hundred taels of silver, and have someone send it to my room immediately," Xu Ruoshui ordered Mother Wang to do something for the first time since becoming the housekeeper. When Mother Wang heard that so much money was needed, how could she let it go?
, "Madam, what do you want this much money for? Have you asked Madam? Otherwise it will be difficult for me to keep accounts. When the time comes to check, I will be held responsible."
"Mom, there are too many problems. Just bring it over and I will make up for it within three days." I need to talk to Mr. Meng about this little money, but going back and forth like this to him is a waste of time. It's better to do it myself.
Make the decision first. Yu Wenjun's aggressive appearance last night was not someone he was easy to discuss with.
