famous concubine

Chapter 47
"What's the matter?" Madam looked over with a cold face, half-closed her eyes, and said, "I'm busy!"

The girl smiled faintly, her eyes were clear, and her tone was cold: "Madam, it's better not to be too busy!"

"Hmph!" Madam gave her a sideways glance indifferently, and snorted from her nasal cavity.

"Housekeeper, did you bring the things I asked you to bring?" Dongfang Yu frowned, his tone was light, but his momentum was extremely oppressive and intimidating. The butler looked at the stunning girl with a slight smile, and nodded unconsciously. "That's good. Let me ask you, is there a rule in the family rules that the expenses of everyone in the mansion, including the number of serving mothers and maids, are customized?"

The butler quietly glanced at his wife before answering, "Yes."

"Okay!" The girl smiled like a flower, and her eyes became clearer and more menacing: "Let me ask you again, do the family rules state that all the treatment of the children of the concubine is [-]% higher than that of the children of the concubine, whether it is the number of waiters or other daily expenses. Even Yueyin is the same?"

The butler's heart tightened inexplicably, and he glanced at his wife again, before answering: "Yes!"

"Then according to the family's rules, there should be eight maids and four mothers in the courtyard of the daughter-in-law, and ten taels of silver per month, is it or not?" The girl's voice was crisp and clear, and her expression was normal.

The housekeeper couldn't see anything unusual, and couldn't hear anything wrong, so he nodded, "Yes."

"Then let me ask you, the housekeeper of the Dongfang Mansion, how many maids and mothers are there in the Qixiang Garden of the eldest sister? How much silver is the moon silver that the eldest sister receives every month?" The girl snorted softly, translucent Eyes narrowed, with a cold and inexplicable brilliance, staring at the butler, and then said coolly: "Of course, I have to ask the butler to explain in detail what is going on in my two sisters' courtyard."

The housekeeper panicked now, how could he have expected that the girl in front of him who seemed extremely "kind" would dig a trap for him in response to his yes, he slightly lowered his head, raised his sleeves, and wiped his forehead Breaking out of cold sweat, he pursed his lips for a long while and said: "Qixiang Garden, there are sixteen maids and eight mothers in total, Miss Yueyin...Yueyin..."

Dongfang Yu rolled his eyes, and then said quietly: "Housekeeper, there's nothing embarrassing about it. You didn't spend the money, and there are accounts in the tent."

"Yes" the butler felt that this would be a cold sweat on his back: "Miss Yueyin is 40 taels; the yards of the third and fourth misses are all four maids and two mothers, Yueyin... Yueyin... ..." The butler didn't dare to look up at his wife's gloomy face, so he just gritted his teeth and said quickly, "Third Miss and Fourth Miss are all the same, five taels of silver per month."

"Well, it's very detailed." Dongfang Yu smiled slightly, his eyes turned lightly, and the light in his eyes was like an invisible ice knife scraping his wife's gloomy face. "The facts are also very clear before everyone's eyes. Whether it's the eldest sister, the third younger sister or the fourth younger sister, I don't see a single yard whose expenses are in line with the family regulations."

"Since that's the case, Xiaoyu dares to ask the old lady whether the lady's family is qualified?"

The old lady slightly opened her orange-wrinkled eyelids, glanced at her inexplicably, and said three words coldly: "Unqualified."

The girl's eyes turned, and her elegant and peerless posture was revealed casually. She smiled and looked at the gloomy lady, and asked, "Then what do you think, lady?"

Little fox, you pushed her into the pit, so you came to ask her if she wanted to jump!
Madam's cold eyes swept over her, she almost gritted her teeth and said, "It's true that I have neglected these things."

"Since Madam admits that she was negligent, does Madam admit that she is not a qualified headed mistress?" The girl smiled sweetly, her eyes were clear, and her expression was innocent, but she inadvertently approached her step by step.

Madam stared at her smiling face, wishing she could step forward and tear it apart!

Madam endured and endured, how could she answer this question?Difficult for a while, she closed her eyes and simply chose to remain silent.

Dongfang Yu didn't intend to let her go. He glanced at her lazily, then smiled, and asked briskly, "Why doesn't Madam say anything? Is Madam acquiescing that she is not qualified to be a housewife?"

"Hmph, in this respect, I admit that I'm not doing well enough!" Madam stared at her with hatred in her eyes, gritted her teeth and politely admitted that she was unqualified.

All the people present, except for the old lady and the girl who had been smiling faintly, all opened their mouths in astonishment!
The third miss, Dongfang Xiu, and the fourth miss, Dongfang Ni, secretly admired Dongfangyu. Although they also knew that Madam had done too much, they dared not say a word about it.

Forcing the wife to admit that she is not qualified to be the head of the family in public is something they have never even dared to think about.

But the girl who suddenly became as beautiful as a flower in front of her eyes not only dared to think about it, but also did it in front of them, and even did it!

"Oh, actually, it's not a big deal." The girl pulled the lid of the cup with a smile, raised her eyes to glance at the madam, and changed the subject suddenly: "After all, the elder sister is the eldest daughter of the mansion, and she is also the eldest daughter. The madam loves her." She, even if you treat her better, there is nothing wrong with it."

Madam was confused by her attitude for a moment, she couldn't help frowning and looked at her coldly.

"But, butler..." The girl's eyes suddenly flickered coldly, and the butler who was named couldn't help but tremble.

"I remember that there is another rule in the family rules that says: If the housewife is incompetent, you can choose someone else to take over." These words were like dropping a bomb in public, and everyone couldn't help being shocked. Sweeping lightly, he quickly said: "I don't think there is any need to choose another one, but..."

The hearts of everyone who had just let go were picked up again by her, and they all turned to look at her in unison for a moment, and the madam's face became even more gloomy.

Dongfangyu smiled casually: "I remember that the family rules also said that if the head of the house is not competent enough, she can't assign various courts at will, and each court has the right to handle the affairs of the court by itself; You don’t need to go through the head of the house, the housekeeper, may I ask if the house rules are written like this?”

At this moment, the housekeeper could only nod besides wiping his sweat, what could he say?Now what he said is superfluous, because in addition to having the book of family rules in his hand, Dongfangyu also has a book in his hand!
Seeing the butler nodding reluctantly, Dongfang Yu smiled happily.

"Ma'am." The stunning girl's dazzling smile was so sweet, and her voice was so evil, that the furious madam couldn't help rubbing her eyelids in shock. "Although the empress issued a decree, I was demoted to a concubine, but the courtyard where I live is still incomplete. You said, according to the family rules, should I choose a few slaves to fill in?"

Madam's face turned black, and she snorted coldly.

Dongfangyu didn't bother to pay attention to her, and quickly said: "Madam loves Eldest Sister, and we don't require to follow Eldest Sister's standards, but the customization under the family's regulations is for people to abide by, old madam, don't you think so?"
