Chapter 97 Messed Up (Part [-])

In the early morning of the next day, Fu Jichun came to take care of Lin Zhao to change clothes and wash as usual. Since Xu Yinhuan left, she came every morning, and the sun never set. Over time, Lin Zhao got used to it.

The man looked at her holding the spittoon, and said calmly: "You look a bit uneasy, did you not sleep well last night? You should have a good rest when you go back."

Fu Jichun was taken aback for a moment, and replied: "Yes."

"I'm going back to my mother's house later, you can also go out for a walk, it doesn't matter."

Lin Zhao sat in front of the makeup mirror, Mang Zhong gently picked up her hair, glanced at Fu Jichun, and then the man went downstairs lightly, she clung to Lin Zhao's ear, and whispered: "Madam, I went to see it last night, and the thick fog was guarding outside the Si Pavilion all night, but the lights at Ling Ranju were turned off early, and there was no movement."

Lin Zhao squinted at her.

Mang Zhong continued: "I don't know if Cheng Yanshan is in the house, I'm afraid of being seen, so I came back first."

"What are you talking about?"

"Ma'am, I know your thoughts best, stop pretending here, you don't know anything."

Lin Zhao held the bead and gestured to her ear twice, Mang Zhong saw her indifferent expression in the mirror, and asked again with some hesitation: "Ma'am, don't you care?"

"How can my new daughter-in-law take care of this dirty thing?"

Lin Zhao stood up holding her skirt, and went downstairs under Mangzhong's more puzzled eyes. She followed closely behind, wanting to ask why Lin Zhao recruited Cheng Yanshan in the first place. Wasn't it to lure wolves into the house? , Did it single-handedly facilitate the two people's affair?
But there were other maids on the first floor, so Mang Zhong had no choice but to give up. After tidying up briefly, he went back to Dongjun Terrace and went to the corner gate, but found that there was no sedan chair waiting.

"What's going on? Didn't you tell Brother Sheng?" Lin Zhao asked.

Mangzhong said that he had ordered, Ping Lian's face was ashen, and told the doorman to call Sheng Geer, this man was in charge of the cars and sedan chairs in the mansion, and when he saw someone, it was already high in the sun, so he woke up and came to see Lin Zhao with his clothes on.

She turned away with a cold face.

Seeing this, Ping Lian was furious and said bluntly: "Mrs. yesterday asked someone to set up a car this morning. What are you thinking?"

"It was too late when Madam came to tell me. All the sedan chairs in the mansion have been assigned out. The sedan chairs under my management are not only used by us in the North Mansion, but also by the Second Master in the South Mansion." Brother Sheng said to Ping Lian was furious and didn't take it to heart, "Even if you are the young lady, you have to pay attention to first-come, first-served in everything, let me think about it..." Brother Sheng rolled his eyes, "The second young master is coming back soon, if the lady is not in a hurry , it’s okay to wait a little bit, what do you say.”

Seeing his glib and evasive appearance, Lin Zhao didn't bother to waste time, and asked Ping Lian to go to a street shop to hire a carriage, and then rushed to Lin's mansion.

Watching the carriage drive away, squatting at the door, rubbing his hands and laughing: "I said Brother Sheng, your idea is real, you dare to prevaricate the young lady's use of the carriage, if the young master finds out, he You are so kind to the young lady, so I have to take your skin off."

"The young master is in Huaizhou now, and I don't know when he will be back. The son has an emergency, and it has been so long that he hasn't improved. It's not a long-term appearance." Brother Sheng took out a melon seed from his pocket, and ate it lazily. He said, "Furthermore, Auntie Lian is the head of the household in this Beifu. Even though the young lady has a noble status, she has no power and is also a soft-spoken person. You have to know who is the one who is in charge of this Beifu."

The door looked up: "But isn't Aunt Lian pregnant now?"

"The doctor came to have a look, and it turns out that the pregnancy is not complete, it is a boy." Brother Sheng said, "You have to understand, this pregnancy is not a burden, but a benefit. Aunt Lian is even more powerful. You, come to this house to work , but the eyes grow on the heels, you have to see clearly, otherwise, you will spend your whole life looking at the gate."

"So, Brother did it on purpose?" Menzi laughed.

Brother Sheng smiled and said nothing.
-
"Everything is assigned, and the slave looks like it is intentional."

In the carriage, Mang Zhong pulled the handkerchief dissatisfied, as if he was holding Brother Sheng in his hand, wishing to tear this man into pieces: "Who is it, even when Madam was a girl in the house, she didn't receive any This cowardly, dignified young lady doesn't have a carriage when she travels, it makes me mad."

When Ping Lian, who was driving the horse, heard Mang Zhong's words, he immediately echoed: "When I come back tonight, I will definitely deal with that brat."

Mangzhong snorted coldly.

Lin took care of the two people singing and only thought it was funny, and asked, "Where is this Liu Sheng coming from?"

"There's no reason for it."

Ping Lian pulled the rein of the horse, turned his head halfway and said: "Madam's words are really flattering him, but since he was a child working in the house, he was able to drive a car steadily in his early years, and he was able to curry favor with people, so he won face in front of Aunt Lian, so I don't care I have heard about the car and sedan chair in the house." He said again, "Madam doesn't know yet, our affairs in Xue's house are divided into seven pairs of silver inlaid cards, all of which are pinched in the hands of Aunt Lian, our old lady is the same It doesn't matter, whether it's the scheduling of carriages and horses, or kitchen shopping, buying people in Yasuo, or every plant and tree in this mansion, it's all under her control."

"So, the old lady is really a hands-off shopkeeper." Mang Zhong said.

"The young master has been sick since he was a child. When the young master was still ill, it broke the old lady's heart. After the young master recovered from his illness, he didn't care about things. The old master simply handed over all the affairs of the house to Aunt Lian. Grasp."

"Looking at this, I don't care about one, two, three." Mang Zhong complained.

Lin Zhao looked down at his fingertips, which were as delicate as spring onions. He remembered that his mother had said before that the affairs in this house were no less than those in the court hall. Now that Xue’s house is in such a mess, it’s not because Aunt Lian is incompetent, maybe it’s because Because this person is pregnant, he has no time to take care of many things, or, when one person monopolizes power, corruption and loopholes will appear in any system.

Just like the arrangement of carriages and sedan chairs for this trip, according to the rules, the carriages in the house are only for the master, but now the servants with a little face can use them at will, which shows that the human relationship is complicated.

Brother Sheng used the sesame power in his hand to please, and it was considered to be the best use of everything.

"It's such a big Xue's house, what does it look like to have an aunt as a housekeeper?" Mang Zhong muttered, "Even in our Lin family's house, Aunt Xie was so favored that she never interfered with the family affairs."

Lin Zhao said nothing.

Mangzhong was right, but it was based on the fact that Aunt Xie was as timid as a mouse, she didn't dare to provoke Tang, and she didn't dare to assume her own identity, but Aunt Lian was not Aunt Xie, and she didn't have the posture of being low-key. Time, because the fetus in her stomach was unstable, I don't know how many times I sent people to Dongjuntai to invite my father-in-law away.

Lin Zhao calmed down, this is all for the future, she is the bride, and the future will be long.

What needs to be solved right now is the death of her natal family. As for how to do it, she already has an idea in her heart.
