Chapter 4 Seizing Power
"Your mother-in-law has been bedridden with illness for many years, and she didn't come today. All the affairs in the mansion are handled by Concubine Yun, and she can afford this cup of tea." Concubine Yun has a tough attitude.

"But it's against the rules." Gu Mingshu didn't seem to understand.

"Here, I am the rule!" Concubine Yun's forehead was throbbing with veins, and she scolded, "Respect!"

When the old lady was solemn, she had the heavy coercion brought out by the deep palace, even if Qin Yue occasionally saw her, she would avoid her edge.

However, Gu Mingshu did not intend to do so.She took a step back holding the teacup, "Daughter-in-law dare not."

"I think you are quite brave." Concubine Yun was furious, "You can even disobey your elders!"

Gu Mingshu's spine is straight and straight, and her words are even louder: "Although Mingshu comes from a family of generals, she has read a few books. She knows that the family of Zhongming Dingshi, the family of poetry and books, and the family of hairpin tassels will last long if they are cautious and alone. Today If my tea doesn’t respect my aunt and my concubine first, it will be a small matter for me to be ridiculed after it gets out, but a serious matter for polluting the reputation of the former king and Hailing’s palace.”

"How heroic is the former king who defended his family and country all his life? How can he bear the stigma of 'doting concubines and destroying wives' just because of a cup of tea?"

"If this tea must be respected, please ask the prince to write me and Li Shu, and let me return home!"

The entire lobby fell into a stillness that could be heard falling needles, and almost everyone looked at her with shocked eyes.

And the most scorching and deep gaze came from Qin Yue.

His eyes were deep, his emotions were difficult to distinguish, as if he wanted to stare at her in place - if he didn't know that her purpose might be to make peace, he would have to praise her for her good character!

Concubine Yun's complexion changed a few times, but she suddenly laughed loudly: "Okay! She is indeed a noble lady of the general family, and her arrogance is admirable! It is a blessing to have a mistress like you in my Hailing Palace."

"The old ancestor praised it absurdly." Gu Mingshu was not surprised.

"Qianxue, hand over all the keys and ledgers at home to Ming Shu." Concubine Yun suddenly ordered.

Yun Qianxue couldn't believe it: "Aunt, aunt?"

Is the old lady confused?If the housekeeper is handed over, how can they still wear gold and silver, how can they raise...

Concubine Yun said coldly: "Now that the palace has such a sensible and respectful mistress, she has to take care of the housework. Why, are you in love with power?"

"Qianxue dare not!"

Yun Qianxue reluctantly took out a bunch of heavy keys from her bosom, and handed them to Gu Mingshu.

"This is the key to an important storehouse, and it must not leave your body for a moment. I will send the remaining account book and the key beside it to the princess' room later."

The people around gasped, and Ruan Meiniang was even more shocked and jealous.

However, Gu Mingshu, who has been a man for two lifetimes, stared at the bunch of keys, but only had the words "hot potato" in his mind.

Yun Qianxue has a lot of bad debts in her hands, and even more dirty things. If the housekeeper Quan handed over her in such an unclear manner, it's not for her to take power, but for her to take the blame for her death!

In the previous life, it was discovered that Yun Qianxue secretly sold the imperial gift to Dongchuang, and this bad debt was also thrown to Gu Mingshu by the old lady in the name of the housekeeper, which almost caused her to go to prison.

But that was all one year after she got started. I never expected that Concubine Yun would want her to die so impatiently.

Seeing her not moving, Concubine Yun urged: "Why didn't you pick it up? Could it be that you want to evade the responsibility of the housekeeper and just enjoy leisure? This is not what the head mother did."

Gu Mingshu thought: It's better to be cowardly and live the rest of my life as a fool who is delicious, lazy, and talkative, than to spend dowry money to mend holes in this palace!
But just as he was about to speak, Qin Yue suddenly sneered and said, "Grandma, are you confused? What kind of family can she be, a fake noble girl who can't even recognize her mother? I can't see the end of Hailing Palace at a glance Gu family, don't mention the matter of being in charge of the family again..."

Gu Mingshu was provoked into rebellion, and grabbed the key.

"Grandma, I'm willing to try, but I really don't have housekeeping experience, you have to ask the side concubine to help me!"

The sneer in Concubine Yun's eyes flashed away, but her face became more kind: "You really are a good boy with ambition! Then let Qianxue assist you! Qianxue, you have to do your best, understand?"

Concubine Yun dragged out the tone of "doing my best", and Yun Qianxue immediately understood and said "yes" respectfully.

In this way, things are settled.

Then Concubine Yun said that she was tired and dispersed the crowd.As soon as Yun Qianxue changed her previous attitude, she affectionately asked Gu Mingshu to go to the cashier to count the bills.

However, when passing by Qin Yue, Gu Mingshu was suddenly dragged aside by his arm.

"Are you a donkey reincarnated? Jump when there is a pit?"

Gu Mingshu said indifferently: "If you don't like it, just make up. Or if I take a step back, a divorce letter is fine."

His previous feeling was indeed correct, her high-sounding words were actually for reconciliation with Li Shu, not for the real name of her mother!

Qin Yue's expression changed a few times, and finally returned to the coldness of the past: "I still say the same thing, I want to leave unless you die. However, with your stupidity, I'm afraid this day will not be too far away."

In Gu Mingshu's black and white eyes, a sharp edge ignited like wildfire, "That may disappoint the prince, this time, I will definitely live well!"

In some things, stretching out your head is a knife, and shrinking your head is also a knife. Counseling will not lead to a good situation.From the moment she took the keys, she had new plans.
