The Concubine's Survival Manual

Chapter 188

If she hadn't married yet, if she hadn't gained a firm foothold in the Xu family, if there was still a rift between her and Xu Fengjia... Seventh Lady would probably ask for the Eldest Master, after all, whether the Elder Master can become the chief assistant , to her, it is also very important.

But now, in Qin Niangzi's heart and face, there is only a refreshing indifference.

She sat quietly on the edge of the kang, staring at the old man pacing back and forth in the room. After a long while, the shrewd elder came back to his senses, sat back on the edge of the kang, and smashed the table excitedly.

"The emperor is ambitious after all!" His face was completely flushed with a little bit of despair. "Okay, okay, Xiao Qi's arrival is good news. You said your cousin..."

Seventh Lady smiled politely, "Father must plan his life well and make more plans for the future."

She started another topic, "I'm here this time, I still have one thing I want to ask my father for help..."

So she told the elder that she wanted to find two smart and sensible accountants from Lianghuai to help.

In today's world, Shanxi and Huaihe Rivers are the richest. Wherever rich people live together, there are of course many accountants.With the relationship of the great master, it is not difficult to find two or three masters in the accountant.

The old man waved his hand casually and agreed to the matter. "Write a letter tomorrow! It will be kept and delivered to you within two months."

Seventh Lady smiled slightly, thanked the Elder Master, and got up to leave. "Then Xiaoqi will go in first - there are still some things I want to discuss with my wife."

She didn't mean to mention Feng Jin at all.

The elder was obviously still excited, he frowned, and brought the topic back to Feng Jin, with a commanding tone.

"In the future, you still have to come forward and ask your cousin what the emperor plans to do about this matter. The more we know, the more stable the rhythm of things will be..."

"It's not that father doesn't know cousin Zixiu." Seventh Lady interrupted the old man's narration, and didn't intend to sit on the kang again.

It wasn't until these words that the Elder Master "woke up" from his state of excitement.

He frowned, looked up and down at Qiniangzi unabashedly, and fell into deep thought.

Seventh Lady sighed inwardly.

It seems that there is nothing good to do today, the Elder Master always wants to open up Feng Jin's contacts from her...

She simply let him watch, she looked around the room, took a few steps, leaned against the small cabinet, and looked out the window with her arms folded.

After a long time, the old man sighed deeply.

"Is Shan Heng still blaming Dad?"

He showed the loneliness of a middle-aged man, as if he had been stabbed by Qin Niangzi's indifference, and there was a little pain between his brows.

Seventh Lady looked at him and smiled, then nodded slightly.

The elder probably didn't expect Qiniangzi to be so calm, but he was stunned for a while, and then explained to Qiniangzi in a deep voice. "You are also the mistress, why don't you understand father's helplessness... If father doesn't have any affection for you, why would he give you a private house for dowry—"

Seventh Lady interrupted him again.

"That's not what I said. Xiaoqi doesn't have much affection for you, so why should I bring you a message?"

She raised her chin, showing her complete disdain for the first time in front of this authoritative parent.

This man used to be her blue sky, and her life and death, honor and disgrace, were only in his mind. In front of him, all the Yang family members were humble, so she was no exception.

But being servile is not her habit!

She didn't say a lot of things, and even pretended not to notice it, but it didn't mean she wouldn't remember it.

The Eldest Master immediately choked on what Seventh Lady said - he would not understand what Seventh Lady meant.As a member of the Yang family, she hopes that the Elder Master can go far, so if she has the opportunity, she will do her duty as a daughter.

But those more positive actions, those desperate plans, and willing efforts... need her to have more sense of belonging and a deeper feeling for herself before she can do it.

This move by Seven Lady is to tell the old man clearly: Although she will continue to cooperate with him for mutual benefit, emotionally, she doesn't think highly of the old man at all, or even more, she hates him.

And the grand master's excitement and unthinking just now, at this moment, seems to be a bit self-indulgent.

"The word filial piety, Yang Shanheng, you—"

No matter how scheming the Elder Master is, Qin Niangzi is still his daughter after all, and he is rarely angry.

For the third time, Seventh Lady rushed to speak in front of the Grand Master.

"The word love, why did my father keep it in my heart?"

If her attitude just now could be called tactful, then what is shown in Seventh Lady's words now is genuine disdain.

The Elder was so angry that he clenched his teeth, and stared at Qiniangzi, his chest fluctuated, but he still had a sliver of reason in the end, so he didn't say much.

Seventh Lady looked at him, and she smiled easily.

"Why does father act like this?" She looked at her fingertips. "Isn't it you who forced these words? Two years ago, I vomited a mouthful of blood in front of you. Xiao Qi has always remembered what you said."

What's the use of vomiting blood in front of me!If you have the ability, go back and eat back what you said and what you did!
The old man immediately thought of the words he roared back then.

His face was pale and white, full of astonishment and embarrassment.

How could this sentence be inappropriate when applied to him today?

Unless time can be turned back, after these words, it would be too ridiculous for Seventh Lady to talk about family relationship with him again!
What made him even more speechless was that this embarrassment was forced out of him by Seventh Lady... Seventh Lady never planned to say such words to him!

He looked at the young woman in front of him in disbelief, and asked himself over and over again in his heart: Is this still the cautious Seventh Lady?How dare she, how dare she say such outrageous things to her father!
After all, the old man is the old man, he took a few deep breaths, and quickly calmed down again.

"Xiaoqi is good at it!" The elder even smiled self-deprecatingly. "But even if you don't think of me as your father in your heart, I'm still an elder. If I want to embarrass you, don't tell me..."

He lowered his voice, regained his courage, and even stood up to make himself look taller, so as to completely overwhelm Qiniangzi in terms of momentum.

Only by convincing Qiniangzi once again and proving once again that Qiniangzi can't fly out of his palm can he continue to maintain his nobility in her heart!These thoughts are nothing but auspicious feathers in his mind, but after so many years of rolling in the officialdom, the Elder Master has already developed a set of skills to control people.

Qin Niangzi's body language was still very loose, she was leaning against the cabinet, she didn't even straighten her back.

"Father, you taught me this." She smiled slightly mockingly, "For the sake of profit, you can put aside the revenge of killing your daughter and continue to cooperate with the Xu family. My few words of rebuttal, How can father take it to heart? Father, when dealing with people, you are what you are, and you can't change it day and night, it's changing a lot. "

The old man couldn't help being furious, he waited to think carefully about what Seventh Lady meant, but he was dumbfounded.

Qin Niangzi learned all her own ways, got the essence of it, and then turned it around to deal with herself.

Doing things in the officialdom has nothing to do with likes and dislikes. Every decision must be made to maximize the benefits.

Seventh Lady is full-fledged now, and her status in the Xu family is not low. Just for the sake of Ninth Brother, it is impossible for the elder to drag her back. Instead, he should try his best to help Seventh Lady and make her stronger.Her own attitude towards the elder is not the focus of his consideration at all.

And Qin Niangzi has already made her posture very clear: the two will still cooperate and benefit each other, she will not be polite when she can use the place of the old man, and she will not deliberately conceal the news that is helpful to the old man... According to The old master's way of handling things, he will not turn against Qin Niangzi.

The old man was caught by his own logic.

He looked at Qiniangzi viciously, his lips moved, and the infinite air in his chest was rolling. After a long time, he managed to straighten his waist, showing a gentle smile.

"Xiao Qi is right." The old man seemed to let go of all his unhappiness. "After all, you are a married person, and it's not good to have too many contacts with your cousin... Don't worry about this matter, Dad will figure out a way for himself."

Qin Niangzi was kind and kind, and she also showed a smile. "Father still cares about Xiaoqi." She stood up straight, "Then Xiaoqi——I will leave first."

The Elder Master even sent her out of the small study, and whispered to Seventh Lady, "At Xu's house, be careful."

The unhappiness just now didn't seem to have much impact on the Grand Master. At this moment, he became that kind and majestic politician again.

Of course, Qin Niangzi will not show her disdain naked/naked/naked again, she looked at the old man and smiled, and said softly, "Father, please take care of yourself, the Yang family is counting on you Woolen cloth!"

The father is kind and the daughter is filial, the Elder Master suddenly showed a touch of emotion.

It's just that in Qin Niangzi's filial piety, there are traces of superiority revealed in the end: if a person wants to hide his anger, try to show his calm.It can only be because he knows that his anger will bring satisfaction to the other party, and he can only try not to please the enemy by hiding his own hurt and upset.

It was the most respectable gesture a loser could make.

What's more interesting is that the Elder Master will not fail to understand that Qin Niangzi has seen through his concealment - in this father-daughter duel, this time, he was the one who lost.
