Chapter 48 An educated dandy

Dongfang Yuebai looked at Su Chengying, a flash of surprise quickly flashed in his eyes.

"Got it." Su Chengying dismissed the messenger, but she was already thinking about the purpose of the eldest lady's move.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, it was only reasonable for the eldest lady, as a skilled and tolerant matron, to rush to comfort her sister-in-law after learning that something had happened.

But Su Chengying knew very well that there would never be any sympathy for someone like the eldest lady who was uninterested and could not afford to be early.

"What are you thinking about?" Dongfang Yuebai's voice suddenly interrupted Su Chengying's thoughts.

Su Chengying didn't think it was necessary to hide this kind of thing, and besides, she would have to cooperate with him sooner or later, so she said, "I'm thinking that the fact that the eldest lady went to see the second lady at this time should mean that the eldest lady is still unwilling to give up the second lady." Madam, this chess piece.”

Only those who still have value will be comforted by allies.

Dongfang Yuebai glanced at Su Chengying and said, "You know Madam well."

Su Chengying's heart skipped a beat before she continued, "When I entered the house on the first day, I dealt with the eldest lady. The eldest lady did hide her tail very well, but a fox is still a fox after all."

Dongfang Yuebai looked at Su Chengying silently for a long time, seeming to believe what Su Chengying said, and did not continue to ask, "Ever since my stepmother passed away, my second aunt has been closest to her. The things my mother left behind My second aunt has been helping my stepmother take care of the shop..."

After saying this, Dongfang Yuebai sneered, "After all, before she got married, my stepmother was a young lady who had no trouble with anything."

Su Chengying understood.

The eldest lady may have plans in other matters, but she is not proficient in business.

But the appearance of the second lady just made up for this shortcoming of the eldest lady.

Over the years, the eldest lady has deliberately given some shops near the city to the second lady to take care of. Firstly, it can prevent the second lady from prying into too many things. Secondly, it does not delay the second lady from advising the eldest lady on business matters. …

After thinking about all of this, Su Chengying really had to sigh, madam, you are really good at calculating.

Su Cheng calmed down and then looked at Dongfang Yuebai, "In this case, we always have to find a way to completely separate the first lady and the second lady."

Dongfang Yuebai knew that Su Chengying was smart, so he was not surprised, "Have you thought of a way?"

Su Chengying lowered her eyes and shook her head, "The first lady still has a lot of shops. If you want to keep the second lady, you only need to allocate the shops in your hand to the second lady..."

She had just snatched the shop from the eldest lady. Not to mention that the shop in her hands was already enough to make her miserable. Even if she really had extra experience, how would the old lady think of her if she calculated the shop in the eldest lady's hands again? ?

Once the old lady becomes suspicious, the gain outweighs the loss.

A cup of tea suddenly appeared in front of Su Chengying.

Su Chengying looked up from the tea cup and looked at Dongfang Yuebai's handsome face, which was covered with a halo in the candlelight.

"Ever since my grandfather passed away, the Duke's Mansion has been nothing more than an empty shell. If my grandmother had not allowed the Duke's Mansion to flourish over the years, the Duke's Mansion would have collapsed long ago. The homes of my aunts and uncles They are not as prominent as in the imperial court, but the existence of each of them has laid the foundation for the stability of the Duke's Palace. Once anyone is missing, the position of the Duke's Palace in Shangjing will be shaken."

Su Chengying Jingjing had heard that the natal families of the ladies in the mansion had a certain reputation in Beijing. She originally thought that the Duke's mansion was looking for a daughter-in-law who was a good match, but now she heard that it was the old lady's foresight.

Dongfang Yuebai saw that Su Chengying was listening attentively, and paused before adding, "It is absolutely impossible to make Second Aunt disappear completely. The only way is to make Mr. Liu completely hate Second Aunt."

This time, he didn't even bother to call his stepmother.

This shows the rejection and resistance to Liu.Su Chengying thought for a while and said, "Young master, when you tell me these things, you are actually warning me, right?"

"That's right. After all, if something happens in the Duke's Mansion, it won't be good for you." Dongfang Yuebai seemed a little tired when he said it. He put one hand on the table to support his face, still looking carefree.

If you hadn't heard it with your own ears, who would have thought that such a dandy, who didn't even have any integrity, could be so far-sighted?

Su Chengying remained silent and did not refute.

The Duke's Mansion in Beiliang is her only place to stay, and she hopes that the Duke's Mansion will survive forever.

And in order for the eldest lady to completely hate the second lady, she still needs to wait for the opportunity.

Unknowingly, the two of them finished their dinner.

Su Chengying looked at the empty rice bowl in front of her and lost her mind for a moment.

Dongfang Yuebai refilled a cup of tea for her in an extremely well-mannered manner, "Are you choking?"

"The Gaomen Mansion has always been about keeping silent during meals and sleeping. I didn't expect that the young master would be so talkative at the dinner table." Su Chengying did not adhere to this kind of etiquette when he was in the army, but whenever he returned to the mansion with his father, his mother would be so talkative. She behaved badly and scolded her.

Su Chengying didn't want her mother to be disappointed, so she rarely used her chopsticks every time she went home to eat, just to keep her mouth shut.

I don't know if it was one year, three years, or five years, but Su Chengying finally learned to be silent at the dinner table.

I never thought that today I would unknowingly break this bondage.

A hand appeared in Su Chengying's eyes, and the full fingertips tapped her tea cup. Su Chengying raised her head and saw Dongfang Yuebai gesturing for her to drink tea.

After Su Chengying drank her tea, Dongfang Yuebai looked at her and said, "Those rules you mentioned are things that only aristocratic young masters need to abide by."

Su Chengying asked, "Isn't this the young master?"

Dongfang Yuebai picked up the fan beside the table, shook it off and fanned it, "I'm just a dandy."

Su Chengying, "..."

Well, a well-educated and well-educated dandy.

The maid who was guarding the door went in to clean up the dishes after she could no longer hear the sound of dishes and chopsticks inside. Su Chengying thought that Dongfang Yuebai was about to go out, so she got up and walked towards the back room alone. Unexpectedly, Dongfang Yuebai was also there. Walked in with her?
Su Chengying was confused, "Will the brothels in the city close tonight?"

Dongfang Yuebai was stunned for a moment, then slowly laughed.

"Of course they don't rest..." He walked to the bed and sat down, took off his shoes, and lay down naturally, "but I will rest tonight."

Su Chengying stopped walking towards the bed and glanced at the soft bed behind her with great reluctance. However, thinking that Dongfang Yuebai would only be back for this night, she didn't say anything more and turned around to lie down. Soft and collapsed.

But just when she was about to close her eyes, she heard Dongfang Yuebai say again, "My health is getting worse. In order to eat a few more New Year meals, I will come back to sleep every night."

Su Chengying, "..."
