Mrs. Lin could tell at a glance that Cheng Rongyue was dissatisfied with Ren Xin, but she did not say it directly. Instead, she smiled and said: "Now that I am old, I no longer care about things. Your second aunt used to be the head of the house. No matter, just ask her."

"When I wasn't married, I often heard people say that my ancestors were kind, and it turned out to be true when I saw it today." Cheng Rongyue was still complimenting her, but there was clearly a little disdain in her smile, "If something like this happened to my family, Anyone who corrupts the family tradition is considered a light person even if he is beaten out."

However, Ren Xin could no longer laugh. Her eyes stayed on Cheng Rongyue and refused to look away.

Cheng Rongyue seemed not to feel it, and continued to talk to herself: "Old ancestors, there are some elderly slaves in the house, and now they are no longer able to use their hands and feet. Instead of eating idle meals in the house, it is better to bring them all in. Let's go out of the house, after all, the contract has expired, so I came here specifically to ask my ancestor for instructions."

"So that's what happened..." Mrs. Lin nodded and began to think.

Cheng Xin immediately objected: "Mom, although it is a good thing to give old slaves their freedom, it is precisely because they are old people that they can be kept."

Mrs. Lin immediately felt that there was something wrong with what Cheng Xin said, but she couldn't figure out where it was.

Cheng Xin looked at the old lady's puzzled expression and immediately explained: "Mother, these slaves have been working hard in the house for most of their lives. They have to work hard without merit. If someone of such an old age leaves the house, where will they be?" How can we use them? They will inevitably end up in a miserable old age, and most people outside will say that the Lin family has no good intentions at all. "

What Cheng Xin said was indeed reasonable, but it was not what she was thinking in her heart. After all, what were those slaves doing to her? Whether the reputation of the Lin family is good or bad has nothing to do with her. What she cares about is that among these slaves are the confidants she has cultivated for many years. If they are all released, all her hard work will be in vain.

However, although she could think so in her heart, she was determined not to say that, so she came up with the previous remarks.

"What you said makes sense, but the house really can't have too many idle people. After all, everything in the house still needs someone to do it. It's better to just follow Rong Yue's wishes. But there is one thing. After being released, We must settle the family well, our Lin family can't do that kind of thing." Mrs. Lin thought for a while, and then continued following Cheng Rongyue's idea.

Seeing Mrs. Lin's decision, Cheng Xin stopped talking. She had to spend more effort to cultivate some confidants.

Cheng Rongyue smiled and said: "These slaves in our house should be lucky to have met such a kind-hearted person like you, ancestor. I would like to thank you on their behalf, but this matter cannot be rushed and needs to be divided." It must be carried out in batches, otherwise the affairs of the house will definitely be messed up. I plan to start from tomorrow, while removing the old people, while welcoming new people into the house, and just as many as they leave, they will come in. "

"You are very attentive, so I will do as you say." Mrs. Lin smiled and nodded.

After she finished speaking, she thought of something, and immediately added: "That's right, those junior slaves below must choose carefully. Don't choose people with evil intentions, especially Yoyo and Xuanhe. , can’t be careless at all.”

"Mom, there's no need for Yoyo Xuan and the other side, the general's office has people." Lin Yuyan immediately replied.

Mrs. Lin rolled her eyes at Lin Yuyan: "How many people are there? A rich lady from a family like ours should step forward with one foot in front of the other, so as not to be disrespectful of etiquette. There are not too many people to serve, but not too few."

Because the old lady did not adopt her suggestion before, Ren Xin never said anything again. Now when she heard this, she suddenly had an idea - if she could take advantage of this big change of servants in the house, she could put Su Qingyao in her place. If they come in, their plans can be put on the agenda.

Maybe this was a blessing in disguise. After all, although she lost some confidants, she was able to get the plan implemented, which can be called a blessing in disguise.

"I obey the old lady's instructions." Lin Yuyan couldn't resist her, so she had no choice but to comply.

Seeing that everything had been discussed, Mrs. Lin immediately smiled and said: "This grandson's wife is really a good housekeeper, don't you think? I am happy today. You will eat with me and leave after eating."

"Yes, yes, of course." Because Cheng Xin had other plans in mind, the previous dissatisfaction in her heart had disappeared, and she immediately agreed casually. After the three of them finished eating, they each returned to their homes.

It was dark and the sky was filled with stars.

Although it is colder in the border area, the night is more beautiful than in the capital.

Lu Youyou had something on her mind and couldn't sleep.

The current situation was more or less divorced from the plot in the book, and she felt a little unsure. She was even more worried about the situation in the capital.

She blew the cold wind at the window for a while, and her mind became clearer and she was more sure of what to do next.

Lu Youyou was just about to close the window when she suddenly saw fireworks not far away.

That shape, that position.

[Daddy must have arranged it. 】

Lu Youyou didn't bother to put on her shoes and immediately ran to Sheng Shiyou's house.

She knocked on the door for a long time, but no one came to open the door for her.

She retracted her hand from knocking on the door and suddenly heard heavy breathing coming from inside the room.

【Um? This is? 】

Lu Youyou's heart for gossip was suddenly ignited.

She frowned and carefully pushed the door open a small crack, closed one eye and looked inside, but ended up using the wrong eye.

【Help! If you still want to peek at gossips like this, you should find someone to kill you as soon as possible! 】

She hurriedly moved her other eye to the crack of the door, and immediately she had a clear view of the scene inside the room - she saw Zhen'er sitting astride Sheng Shiyou's lap, and from time to time she let out a burst of laughter that made people feel scared. , his hands were still wandering around Sheng Shiyou's body.

Lu Youyou frowned slightly as she looked at it. Logically speaking, Sheng Shiyou was not such a person, so how could he fall for Zhen'er's tricks?

Just as he was thinking of this, Zhen'er in the room moved to the side, exposing Sheng Shiyou's face.

It's a good thing Lu Youyou didn't look at it. She almost screamed out when she saw it. Sheng Shiyou, who was usually very handsome, looked like a prawn just taken out of the pot. Her face was extremely red and her eyes were blurry. , it looks like traditional Chinese medicine.
