On the second day after Baoyu got married, Li Wan personally went to Mrs. Wang and handed over the housekeeping rights: Even if he refused to hand over, how long could Mrs. Wang let her take charge of the housekeeping? Rather than being forced to hand over the housekeeping rights, he would
It's better to recognize the situation on your own, take the initiative to hand it over, and still be able to live in dignity. Anyway, I have made a lot of money during this period, and now the house is just an empty shelf. Whoever wants to take over, I don't want to do it anymore.
Accepted.
Mrs. Wang took over the housekeepership and handed it over to Xia Jingui. Looking at Li Wan's calm expression, Xia Jingui knew more or less why Mrs. Wang couldn't wait for her to be the housekeeper. She also knew the reason. But in order to be in the house as soon as possible
To gain a foothold, she needs rights. But she is absolutely unwilling to use her dowry to subsidize the house. The Xia family's money can never be used to subsidize a wealthy family, because it is like a meat bun beating a dog.
There is no return.
Besides, that is the foundation for her and her son to settle down and live in the future. Anyway, what Mrs. Wang wants is just silver, whether it is her dowry or someone else’s property, what does it matter? Whose silver is not silver?
Therefore, after Xia Jingui took over the government affairs for a period of time, he took the account books and went to reply to Mrs. Wang: "Madam, my daughter-in-law checked the account books and found some problems, but... my daughter-in-law did not dare to make the decision without permission, so I came to ask my wife for instructions.
."
Mrs. Wang was deeply surprised: "You are the mistress, what is there that you dare not make the decision?"
Xia Jingui whispered: "It's about Xiren and the others."
Mrs. Wang frowned and said: "Their Xiren? Xiren has always been a steady person, what could happen to her?"
Xia Jingui took the account book in Ying'er's hand and showed her page by page: "...my daughter-in-law found that many things were missing. The monthly silver, New Year's gold and silver, etc. that the second master had saved over the years were all gone.
Even the rose dew and sweet-scented osmanthus dew given by my wife were gone one day and gone tomorrow. My daughter-in-law became suspicious, so she took stock of them one by one, and after secretly checking them for a long time, she discovered that Xiren, Musk Moon, Autumn Patterns, and Bi
Yue and other maids often take the Second Master's things back to their own homes without permission."
Mrs. Wang followed Xia Jingui's hand and checked the missing things one by one. The more she looked, the tighter the beads in her hand were. Finally she couldn't help but said angrily: "These things without Wang's law are actually greedy for the master."
The things are here! Everyone is so excited that the whole family should sell them out." Then he said to Xia Jingui: "You have been married for a while. I heard that you took care of the house when you were a girl.
, Logically speaking, this problem should have been discovered a long time ago, why didn’t you come and tell me?”
Xia Jingui wondered: "After all, my daughter-in-law is new here and she doesn't dare to take more than one step. Even if she discovers a problem, she thinks it's different from the Xia family's small family. It's all under Xiren's control..."
Mrs. Wang interrupted Xia Jingui and said, "Is Xiren in charge? Why didn't you tell me?"
Xia Jingui said with a smile: "The second master is young and full of blood. There are so many maids in the yard. My wife doesn't dare to make a mistake. It will take a while before she can ask my wife for advice. Speaking of Xi Ren, it's hard work."
Mrs. Wang sneered and said: "How could she have worked hard? She is just too big-hearted and thinking about shameless things. She is such a scumbag. I am really blind. I have promoted her in vain."
Xia Jingui just didn't know: "Mrs., is there some misunderstanding? Although Xiren and the others took some things privately, how can people like us care about such things? It's just that they concealed it and didn't report it.
Give them a punishment and just know the rules. After all, they have served the second master with all their heart and soul for so many years. There is no credit but hard work."
Mrs. Wang thought quietly for a while and said, "You go to the back first, and I will interrogate another person." She then ordered someone to call Baoyu's nanny, Mother Li, to come in.
After Li's mother came in, Mrs. Wang asked about the attacker. Li's mother complained, and finally said: "Madam, you don't know, the attacker seduced the second master before he even entered the garden.
"
Mrs. Wang was thunderous: "What did you say? When? What did Xiren do?"
Mother Li shed tears and said: "My wife, you were deceived by that cunning little goblin. That attacker, about four or five years ago, when Grandma Xiaorong was still there, Grandma You invited us to
The wife and grandmother here went to enjoy the flowers, and it was at that time that the attacker seduced the second master and broke his body. At that time, the second master was only thirteen years old."
Mrs. Wang gnashed her teeth with hatred: "One drop of semen, one drop of blood. No wonder Baoyu has been in poor health these years. It turned out to be the trouble caused by the little goblin." She said hatefully: "Besides attacking people, who else is there in that yard? Baoyu who seduced me.
of?"
Mother Li thought for a while and said: "When the old slave went out, Qiuwen and Biyue were all broken. Among the eldest maids, there was Sheyue, Qingwen was not there yet, but last year the old slave bumped into Sheyue who had gone home.
Yue, look at her brows, her body is also broken. But Qingwen is good. Although her head is a little prickly, she knows respect and refuses to do anything wrong. I heard that she is married in the country now and has a pair of children.
My children are living a fairly stable life."
Mrs. Wang's whole body trembled with rage, she gritted her teeth and said, "I know, I can't help but think about it. I have my own theory on this matter." She also called Yu Chuan'er: "Go and reward her with a high-quality Feng'er.
Eat wine."
Yuchuan'er agreed and took Mother Li out.
Mrs. Wang viciously threw the tea cup in her hand, and was furious. Xia Jingui walked out of the back room with a sarcastic smile on her lips: Those who were kicked out were innocent, and those who were left behind were all dirty. Madam like this,
When he really answered that sentence, the goose hunter was pecked in the eye by the wild goose.
Xia Jingui stood quietly for a while, then walked forward demurely, rubbed Mrs. Wang's hand and said: "Madam, you hurt your hand carefully. That unscrupulous slave has betrayed your heart, so just send him away, why bother for them?"
, hurt yourself? It’s not worth it.”
When Mrs. Wang saw Xia Jingui like this, she calmed down a little and said: "My dear child, I'm sorry for you. If you hadn't exposed it with your intention, how could I have followed the clues and found out such things?" Then she said angrily: "I have pity on me.
Baoyu, trapped in that trap of jackals, being forced by them all day long, I still don't know how to feel uncomfortable."
Xia Jingui wanted to laugh in his heart: Baoyu is a grown man, how can he be better than those girls who are like flowers and tender willows? How come he is trapped in a trap of jackals? Kuang Niu refuses to drink water and presses his head. This kind of thing, if Baoyu himself does not have the ability
You mean, no matter how hard those girls push him, it’s useless, right?
Mrs. Wang said angrily: "Now that I know this, I won't finish it. You go back first and take good care of Baoyu. These days, they must not let them touch Baoyu again. I still have some medicinal materials to replenish the body. You can bring them with you."
Go back and replenish Baoyu."
Xia Jingui knelt down and saluted, and said calmly: "Daughter-in-law, I obey. Thank you madam for the reward."
Mrs. Wang nodded with satisfaction.
Xia Jingui sneered in his heart: "I haven't known the ability to attack people for so long. You, the wife, can do it well. But now I use some tricks to act according to my instructions. Haha, people say that the wife is the pillar of Rongguo Mansion.
One of them, in my opinion, is just a vain name. It seems that in another month, I will be able to firmly grasp the situation, haha!"
