Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 8 Rebuke
Huo Lingyun had a slight smile on her face from the beginning to the end, even when she heard their compliments, she didn't care, as if she didn't take it to heart, only when she heard Hong's last words, her face lightened slightly. A blush.

Born in this wealthy and prosperous family since childhood, her grandmother is still the eldest princess. If Huo Lingyun is willing to be ordinary, I am afraid that even she herself will not believe it.She is very envious of her aunt, and often targets her in private.Although everyone says that the palace is a place to eat people, but that is only for others. She has the support of the British government and the Marquis of Changwu, and she has her aunt to take care of her. scary?

After hearing this, Mrs. Tai also showed a sincere smile on her face, and looked at Huo Lingyun with more kind eyes——

It would be even better if Yun'er was lucky enough to marry into the royal family in the future. The first prince is almost ten years old now, and the second and third princes are also grown up. You can plan something.

In Madam Tai's view, the possibility of Huo Lingyun marrying into the royal family is still very high, the key is which prince to marry.It's a pity that Concubine Xian has no heirs, otherwise...

Mrs. Tai sighed in her heart, and her joy also decreased a little.

When Huo Lingrui heard them complimenting Huo Lingyun, she couldn't help but snorted, curled her lips in secret, and there was a trace of stubbornness in her eyes.

At this moment, the girl outside the door suddenly reported: "Aunt Wang is here."

Su Wan, who has always been an invisible person, suddenly became curious. She wanted to see, who is this woman who can preside over Zhongfu as a concubine?At the same time, she was quietly observing the expressions of other people.

Mrs. Tai couldn't tell, she still had that Maitreya-like expression.

Among the girls, except for Huo Lingrui who showed obvious surprise, the expressions of the others were a little indifferent, nothing special. The second wife, Hong Shi, secretly curled her lips, but quickly disappeared, forming a slightly enthusiastic expression smile.As for the third wife, Tao Shi, with a sneer on her lips, she obviously didn't like Aunt Wang very much.

On the other hand, all the maids and women in the room held their breath and focused, rather respectful.Obviously, Aunt Wang is very prestigious in the eyes of servants.For respect.Obviously, Aunt Wang is very prestigious in the eyes of servants.

Just as Su Wan was secretly looking at her, a group of maids and daughters-in-law walked in, surrounded by a woman in her 20s.

This woman's appearance is somewhat similar to Mrs. Tai's. She is also round and jade-shaped, with a plump figure, gentle and steady, but without losing her majesty. She looks more like a mistress than Su Wan.

She is wearing a rose-red woven gold-wrapped twig-patterned beige, a purplish-red embroidered gold skirt, a silk-wrapped emerald-gold step rocker on her head, a red-gold ruby ​​butterfly flower hairpin, lilac-colored silk flowers, and a pair of red-gold willow leaves on her ears. Earrings, a jade bracelet and a jade ring on the left hand, are rich and gorgeous.She stepped forward gracefully, kowtowed to Mrs. Tai and said, "Greetings to the old lady."

After getting up, he turned to Su Wan again, and said: "I have seen my wife."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Su Wan to speak, she straightened up, turned to Mrs. Tai, and said with a smile: "Because the monthly money is just being distributed today, so I came a little late, I hope the old lady, ladies, don't blame me .”

"Where is it? It's not easy for you to manage the huge Hou's mansion by yourself, and it's justifiable for you to be late." The second wife Hong said with a smile, but although it was a compliment, there was a bit of sourness in her tone .

The third wife Tao Shi said indifferently: "When my sister-in-law was alive, no matter how busy the house was, she was never seen to be late once, and she was always the first to arrive. Why are there so many things when the housekeeper power is in your hands?" Wake up? Let us not have many people here, and you are embarrassed to wait for you alone?"

After a pause, she said as if she had suddenly realized: "Ah, I almost forgot, you are a concubine, and you are not qualified to greet the old lady. Since you like to be late so much, you might as well not use it in the future. I just feel sorry for the old lady." My wife's heart is broken."

Aunt Wang looked a little embarrassed, but it was hard to refute, after all, she was just a concubine after all.She had no choice but to look at Mrs. Tai as if asking for help, but she hated Tao Shi in her heart.

Isn't it just greedy for her housekeeping power?Is there any need to sneer at her?
"Okay, Aunt Wang is delayed because of something, Tao, please don't say a few words!" Mrs. Tai said, her mind is clear about their careful thoughts, but Aunt Wang should also be beaten.

So, she said to Aunt Wang who had just breathed a sigh of relief: "Aunt Wang is too. If you think the housekeeping is very difficult, then let your wife take care of it. After all, she is the serious mistress. Besides, little Su Shi has been in the mansion for almost a year, so he should be familiar with the situation in the mansion, right?"

The last sentence was addressed to Su Wan.

Aunt Wang hadn't let go of her heart yet, when she was suddenly lifted up again, she looked at Su Wan with a look of astonishment and panic, for fear that she would agree to take away the butler she had finally obtained.

The others also looked at Su Wan, waiting for her answer.

Su Wan bowed slightly to Mrs. Tai, and said with a smile: "The old lady was joking, my daughter-in-law knows how much she weighs. I am young and have little knowledge, so it's okay for me to take care of a few people. If I take care of a few hundred people, That really cost my life."

Seeing that Su Wan was interested, Madam Tai smiled and nodded.

Hearing Su Wan's words, Aunt Wang's worried heart slowly eased, and she breathed a sigh of relief. It was rare that she liked Su Wan a little.I couldn't help laughing secretly at myself for making a fuss just now, I was too restless.

If you think about it, you know, Su Wan'er was born in a small family, how could she be in charge of the family?She must not dare to intervene.

Aunt Wang thought contemptuously, and finally felt relieved.

Unfortunately, it was too early for her to rest assured.

Su Wan refused this matter, one reason is that she really can't manage the family.In her current situation, she has no money and no one, and she is not familiar with this era. If something happens, she will not only cause trouble for herself, but also expose herself; secondly, because Mrs. Tai has no intention of letting her be a housekeeper, It was just to test her just now, there is no need for her to rush to make people hate her.

However, she can't manage the house by herself, but she can recommend others.

Wives and concubines are natural enemies, and Aunt Wang's housekeeping power is really not good for her. It's better to divide Aunt Wang's housekeeping power and muddy the muddy water, so she can fish in troubled waters.

So, Su Wan said again: "Old lady, although I don't have the ability to be a housekeeper, the second and third younger siblings are both capable. I heard that the third younger siblings have presided over Zhongfu before they left the cabinet. The third brother’s yard is kept in a watertight manner. Therefore, the daughter-in-law suggested that it is better to let the two younger brothers and sisters help Aunt Wang manage the house together, and the eldest lady, who is not too young, will be out of the cabinet in a few years. How do you feel about learning how to housekeeper?"
