But it doesn't mean that you are sometimes careless. Gu Wenxuan breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head to show that he really didn't know, and then continued to frown.

His wife is most afraid of him showing a worried and annoyed look. She doesn't want to talk nonsense anymore. As long as he shows this attitude, he will definitely win!

"Okay, I'll be honest."

Zhou Banxia pointed at the cloak on his body. Although it didn't snow tonight, some snowflakes fell on the cloak and melted into water when they entered the house, but didn't you feel it was very hot in the house?

Stupid or not.

Gu Wenxuan, who understood Zhou Banxia's eyes, almost laughed out loud. He cleared his throat, kept his expression on his face, and took off his cloak without saying a word.

Should I be honest and confess?

"How should I talk about this?" Zhou Banxia shook her head. "You know my temper. If Fang Wanniang still pretends to be smart and doesn't dance in front of me, I won't care. But since you dared to barge into the main hall with your big belly today, I will let your third aunt learn a lesson.

Otherwise, if anyone can enter the main courtyard and main hall of our house, I would be the first to remove the position of the butler of the Dahua family.

It just so happened that your third aunt was about to go back, and she didn't dare to step on me and my eldest sister-in-law to praise how good her daughter-in-law was. But Fang Wan's mother didn't receive such treatment.

It is impossible for your third aunt not to hate your eldest aunt for always showing off how good her fourth daughter-in-law is. She is so gossipy that even I have heard her make fun of Wulang's wife for being too big and rough.

It is not a good thing to describe a young wife as big and strong, especially when compared with Fang Wanniang who is petite. Who would like to hear such words?

After all, your third uncle's family doesn't need their daughter-in-law to do hard labor. Even in terms of family financial situation, the eldest branch is better than her third branch. How can Wulang's wife not hate them?

As for Wulang's wife, her dowry was less than that of her sisters-in-law, so after she entered the family, she tried her best to build up confidence. She was a person with a strong self-esteem.

When your third aunt goes back and mentions that the guests have left but Fang Wanniang is still refusing to leave, she will definitely not persuade her mother-in-law to stop gossiping about Fang Wanniang in public.

She might even add fuel to the fire. After all, she was pregnant now, had some free time, and had time to think about how to vent her anger.

You have to know that not all women are as generous as me. Fang Wanniang also said that I shouldn’t treat Zhou Daniu and his wife too harshly, but I didn’t take it to heart at all.”

understood!

No wonder when the old lady was explaining before dinner, his wife was very strange and suddenly stopped speaking good words for Silang's wife in front of the old lady as usual.

Normally, even if she didn't generously say a few nice words to smooth things over in front of others, she would still say, "No, it's impossible," or "It must be a misunderstanding."

He just said that his wife didn't respond to the conversation and supported him all the time. Either the old lady made her feel annoyed, or she didn't intend to give face to Silang's wife.

He is really bringing up things that are not relevant to the topic. He even dares to say that his wife shouldn't have treated Zhou Daniu and his wife well. It would be strange if he doesn't release Wu Lang's wife!
"What do you want to do?" Seeing Gu Wenxuan's eyes rolling around, Zhou Banxia was frightened, "Don't interfere, I just want to stop here.

"We are all pregnant women, and we can't do this even if we want to accumulate merit for our children, understand?"

His thoughts were immediately seen through. Gu Wenxuan raised his right hand and rubbed his forehead guiltily, "I know, we must respect every little life."

"Why are you covering your eyes?" Zhou Banxia held back her laughter and pulled his right hand, "Don't have any evil ideas. It's just a small matter, it's not worth touching her family."

"I'm not your brother-in-law. I'm not going to go beat up his brother or nephew to vent your sister's anger..." Before he could finish his words, Gu Wenxuan couldn't help laughing out loud.

Zhou Banxia was also amused. "I won't listen to your quibbling. As for them, I'm too lazy to do anything unless I see them. It's really not worth it for you to waste your energy." "This time, I won't interfere as you said, but you can't hide it from me. Don't even mention it to me, like Silang's wife is talking nonsense.

You are not alone, my wife, you still have me, don't always think about doing it by yourself, it will make me feel useless and frustrated——"

"Come on, follow me and play the game of pity." Zhou Banxia glared at him coquettishly, "I'm going to take a shower and go to bed. Do you still want to read tonight?"

"No, I don't have time to study. I need to take a hot bath in the new pool tonight. Don't rush to sleep. Wait until you have eaten and rested for a while before going to bed."

“Okay.” It wouldn’t do if it wasn’t okay. Mai Xiang was talking to Mai Huang outside, saying that the midnight snack was ready, but they didn’t know whether it should be delivered now.

Her daily routine was disrupted today. Normally, even if the family had dinner together, she would go back to her room early and have supper just after eight o'clock.

But now, there is no need to check the alarm clock. When I come back, I can hear the second watch louder. It is already 9:30 in the evening, almost an hour late.

Zhou Banxia didn't want to waste any more time, so he reached out and pulled a small bell beside the bed.

Soon, three or five maids who were on duty tonight came in one after another.

Mai Huang reported that the midnight snack was ready. Mai Dong took off Zhou Banxia's headdress while she sat at the dressing table. Mai Xiang then served the midnight snack and the maids helped in their respective duties.

By the time Gu Wenxuan and Zhou Banxia had finished their midnight snack, Mai Huang had already brought the maid to put the couple's spare clothes in the bathroom, and the pool was filled with hot water.

Just as busy and quiet as when she came in, the maid finished serving the couple, quickly cleaned the room and left in an orderly and well-trained manner.

I have to say that Zhou Molan is quite good at training maids. On weekdays, the yard is small, there is not much work to do, and you can't see much difference, but today the real difference was revealed.

Servants who come from families with a rich background are different after all. Originally, Gu Dachang and his wife were already the best among the servants, but they are still far inferior to him.

Gu Wenxuan was feeling emotional and was taking Zhou Banxia to the bathroom to take a hot bath when he heard Zhou Banxia suddenly say that there was something she needed his decision on as soon as possible.

In addition to preparing maids, errand boys, gatekeepers and maids, Aunt Lan also prepared three housekeepers in their early thirties.

The oldest among the three is Gu Dachang's wife, who is nearly 35 years old. In terms of interpersonal skills, Gu Dachang's wife also ranks first.

It's just that Aunt Lan has more concerns because before Gu Dachang's family was bought, they were sent by their previous employer to serve mistresses.

It would have been fine for Gu Dachang and his son because they were outsiders, but Gu Dachang's wife was the housekeeper of the inner courtyard of the concubine, so it went without saying that she must have served the concubine personally.

Definitely capable.

The only drawback was that her innocent young lady was about to be exposed by the housekeeper who had previously served a mistress who was even worse than a concubine, which was a bit unpleasant.

But it's a pity that such talents are wasted.

After all, there are not many literate women of this age among the servants, and even fewer inner courtyard housekeepers who are familiar with the inner house struggles.

"…So Auntie Lan meant that the four of Mai and Huang were not yet able to take charge of the outside world, so she asked you, my son-in-law, to choose two of them as soon as possible, so that she could prepare the staff for our courtyard as soon as possible." (End of this chapter)
