The Reborn Wife Returns

Chapter 48 Fake Accounts
Gong Qinglan was taken aback, the second wife regards money as her life, if she wants to let her go, it's a dream!

Seeming to see Gong Qinglan's doubts, the second lady's eyes flickered and said: "Jing Feng is the head of the house, you are the mistress after passing through the door, and you are supposed to take over the housekeeping. But you are a bride, and there are many things I don't understand. I was unwell during that time, and I couldn’t teach you anything. It happened that the baby was about to get married, and I didn’t have time to manage the accounts, so I’ll return it to you while I’m still free.”

Everything the second lady said made sense, and there was no mistake.

A flash of thought flashed in Gong Qinglan's eyes, she glanced at the red wooden box, and said with a smile: "Then I'll have to bother Second Aunt from now on."

The second lady twitched her mouth and said with a sigh: "You and sister-in-law are getting closer and closer, and sister-in-law is a good housekeeper. If I am busy, you can find sister-in-law."

There was a slight smile on the corner of Gong Qinglan's mouth, she went to Wutong Garden to pay her respects every day, and the eldest lady didn't avoid her like in the past.Sometimes I tend the flower garden with her, or make tea.

"Mother is not in good health, so it's not good to bother her quietness because of this matter."

A sneer flashed in the eyes of the second lady, watching her accept the mahogany box.After saying what was in his heart, it was difficult to say: "Nephew and daughter-in-law, Second Aunt has something to ask."

"Second aunt, tell me." Gong Qinglan sneered in her heart, and she really didn't want to go to the Three Treasures Hall if she had nothing to do.I don't know if it's good or bad!

The second lady hesitated and said: "Nephew and daughter-in-law, you also know that Mr. Feng is of extraordinary status, and it is a baby's blessing to be able to marry this marriage. Although our Qi family is rich, it is not a rare thing, and he is not eye-catching at all." " Said, the second lady glanced at Gong Qinglan, seeing her face as usual, thought: "If our Qi family can make this marriage, it will help Jing Feng's business in the future. But if the baby does not have a decent thing, When I arrived in the capital, I was laughed at by others, and the Qi family’s face was lost. I thought to myself, the phoenix crown worn by my nephew and daughter-in-law was a rare item when they got married. I was embarrassed to say this, but we are a family. Honor and disgrace coexist, so I put on an old face."

After all, his eyes turned to the mahogany box.

Hongyu, who was waiting on the side, curled her lips. It turned out that it was with this idea that she handed over the housekeeping power.But that phoenix crown was a dowry made by the former emperor for his wife, how could it be given to others at will?

If you want to give it, it will also be passed on to the future children of the eldest grandma.Fortunately, the second lady had the nerve to say this!
Gong Qinglan's eyes were not happy, she looked at the mahogany box deeply, stretched out her hand and turned it around twice, and said lightly: "I'm afraid it won't work..."

The second lady didn't wait for her to speak, but changed her face instantly, and said with displeasure: "The baby is not trying to covet your phoenix crown, but just borrow it when she gets married. When she returns home, the phoenix crown will be returned to you. "

"The Qin family has ancestral precepts, and the phoenix crown is a gift from the royal family. If it is not of the Qin family's blood, it must not be worn. Could it be that the second aunt is willing to ask my sister-in-law to kneel down to worship the ancestors of the Qin family?" Gong Qinglan was neither cold nor cold, but her phoenix eyes were condensed into ice. He looked at the second lady.

The second lady was terrified by her, and left resentfully, feeling unwilling when she walked out of the courtyard, she took a mouthful: "Bah! You're just a subjugated traitor!"

The sound was neither loud nor low, just enough for the people in the room to hear.

Gong Qinglan's eyes were slightly cold, and she took a sip of tea with her hands.Looking at the key and seal in the box, he said coldly: "Call the steward."

Hong Yuan went out in response.

After Gong Qinglan put it away, Hongyuan's eyes were full of smiles, she lifted the curtain and came in and said, "It's just a coincidence that the stewards of Zhuangzi came to the mansion to pay their accounts, and they are already waiting in the hall."

The fifteenth day of every month is the day to pay the accounts, and Gong Qinglan knew it in her heart.The second wife has been the housekeeper for many years, and the stewards of all Zhuangzi have replaced her.Although she gave up on herself, there was still a tough battle to fight!
The Hongde Hall is the meeting hall for receiving the stewards in the Qi Mansion.

The stewards of each Zhuangzi stood in the middle of the hall in a row holding a stack of ledgers.

There are doubts in the eyes, in the past, they would give accounts to the second wife, but today they asked to meet in private, but the second wife avoided seeing her.All the way, I heard the maids and mother-in-law discussing that from now on, the accounts will be in charge of the young lady.

"I don't know what's in the heart of this eldest young lady?" Chen He's daughter-in-law said to Mother Xu beside her.

Nanny Xu came out from the old lady's house, she has her own connections in the mansion, so she knows something about the eldest and young mistress.After pondering for a while, he said, "I'm afraid it's a powerful one!"

Chen He's daughter-in-law felt a 'thump' in her heart, her finger bones turned white while holding the account book, her throat tightened due to tension, and she said in a hoarse voice: "How do you say it?"

"The second madam and the old madam can't please someone, is he easy to deal with?" Madam Xu squinted at Chen He's daughter-in-law, her eyes fell on the account book, she twitched her lips, and looked at the other side with a respectful face. Door.

Gong Qinglan is dressed in milky white soft silk, and she wears crescent moon satin shoes embroidered with plum blossoms.Her hair was tied up in a high bun, and a hairpin with white jade inlaid with red coral beads and double knots was inserted, reflecting Sai Xue's white and smooth skin.

Sitting dignifiedly on the grand teacher's chair, there was a cool breath all over his body.His brows and eyes swept away lightly, making people awe-inspiring for no reason.

Hongyu handed the hot tea to Gong Qinglan, who took it and took a sip.With raised eyebrows, he said in a stern tone: "I called you here today to tell everyone that I will be in charge of the accounts from now on, so don't bother the second lady. You all perform your duties and do your best for the Qi government. If you have two minds, you will not be able to do without your benefits. If you cheat a moth behind your back, I will definitely not spare him!"

They are all the second wife's people, if you speak softly, you will definitely think that you are a dough that is easy to knead.Why not be the first to catch people and frighten them?
The indeterminate eyes of the steward have different expressions of disdain, contempt, questioning, fear, and anxiety.

Gong Qinglan had a panoramic view, and ordered Hongyuan to take back the books, and placed them in a tall stack on the table, a head taller than Gong Qinglan who was sitting.

Chen He's daughter-in-law felt nervous and anxious, she looked at Hongyuan who was walking in front of her, tightly clutching the account book, and said, "Eldest... eldest young mistress, this... this account book... the servant hasn't done it yet. "As he said, he knelt on the ground, not daring to look at Gong Qinglan.

Gong Qinglan was startled, and Hongyu carefully introduced Chen He's wife in her ear.She is a cowardly person, and the reason why she became the steward was that Chen He's sister married the son of the steward of the Qi family, and the steward supported Chen He's wife out of affection.

I can't help but close my eyes and think deeply, the second lady is really a good way.These people and the people in the mansion are all intertwined.If she wanted to get rid of it and put her own people in, she would completely offend the people in the mansion.

"But there are still people who haven't done their accounts well?" Gong Qinglan asked lightly.

Everyone was silent, and their hearts were full of contempt for Chen He's wife.It's just a girl, why is she so afraid?They have the support of the second wife behind them, even if there is something, what can the eldest and young mistress do to them?
