Abandoned Wife and Marry Only: Daughter of Houmen

Chapter 477

The mother Hui An mentioned was not referring to the Cui family, and everyone's expressions changed slightly when they heard the words.

Butler Zhou was not surprised when he heard the words, his expression remained the same, and he said neither humble nor overbearing: "The young mistress killed the old slave."

Hui'an nodded with a smile, and ordered Nanny Fang to fetch a chair for him to sit down. Housekeeper Zhou didn't refuse, just thanked him with a smile, and sat down.But when everyone present saw this, their complexions changed.

Hui'an had already inquired about Steward Zhou's background. He was originally Gu Shuyun's dowry. When Gu Shuyun was still alive, he was the steward of the Guan family. Zhou Chen was also promoted to the position of housekeeper this time, and he has not disappointed Guan Baize over the years. He has always been calm and prudent, and has a bit of prestige in the eyes of Guan's servants.

Cui Shi has been in charge of Zhongfei for these years, and she has tried to win over Steward Zhou many times since then, but Butler Zhou is simply not good at it. Seeing that he is ignorant of current affairs, Cui Shi once wanted to pull him down, but Guan Baize did not treat Steward Zhou well. With a lot of trust, butler Zhou himself is also cautious, never letting anyone catch him wrong, so Cui can't do anything to him.

It's just that the Cui family has been domineering in the mansion these years, and has long since dared to mention Gu Shuyun casually to touch Cui's bad luck. Now that Huian has just taken over Zhongfu, he first mentions that housekeeper Zhou is the old man left behind by Gu Shuyun, and then orders Zhou The butler sat down, and this attitude was obviously beating those servants who honored the Cui family below.

Seeing the changes in everyone's faces, Hui'an smiled again and said, "I don't want to look at this roster any more, so you all go up in order and tell them what you are in charge of, what you are doing, what you call them, and what you have in your family." People, come up one by one to report."

After Hui'an said that, the courtyard was silent for a while, and then many people unconsciously turned their eyes away. Only then did a tall, thin middle-aged man with a goatee and a silk robe come forward and bowed, and replied: "The servant Hu Kui greets the third young lady. The servant is the deputy steward of the outer courtyard, in charge of the concierge and the two pharmacies on Zhengfang Street. The servant's wife, Mrs. Wang, is now in charge of the big kitchen. She is the steward of the big kitchen. There are one son and two daughters in the family. , are all on business in the mansion, my son is buying clothes, and two daughters, one is the second-class maid in the Da Furen's Court, and the other is the eldest maid in the Sixth Young Master's Court."

Hui'an just said to speak back and forth in order, but didn't say in what order. He just wanted to see who the leader of this group of slaves is. Now after hearing Hu Kui's words, he raised his hand and took a sip of tea, hiding the glare in his eyes. ridicule.

She took a sip of tea, put down the teacup slowly, and then said: "Well, I heard that Housekeeper Hu is mother's companion, and he is very capable. He has helped mother do a lot of things over the years, but I have never seen him. Surprisingly, today is finally a match. I heard that your daughter-in-law, Mrs. Hu, is also a smart person, and she has the most trust from her mother, but who is it? Are you here today?"

Hu Kui's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, his daughter-in-law is Cui's nanny's daughter, she served Cui in the early years, and later married and became the daughter-in-law in charge of the lady's courtyard. When Cui married, they all accompanied her. Even the embarrassment became more embarrassing, these years the Cui family has been calling the shots in the Guan mansion, no one will give them some face, even a master like the second wife will be polite when they see it, let alone those aunts.

His daughter-in-law was already arrogant, but now that the Cui family has been seized of power, and the young mistress is in charge, how can his daughter-in-law obediently obey orders?Thinking about Luoluo's young mistress's face, she just wanted to make things difficult for her to avoid laziness. It's best to let this young mistress have nothing to do, and hand over the power of giving back to her.

So today his daughter-in-law didn't come at all, and Hu Kui didn't think it was a big deal at all, but now when Hui An came up and asked him if his daughter-in-law was here, he was suspicious for a while, thinking that Hui An seemed to know it earlier.Just knowing that he is not afraid, anyway, it is not a big mistake not to come, Hu Kui bowed after thinking about it, and replied: "Returning to the young mistress, the slave daughter-in-law suddenly felt ill last night, the doctor looked at it He said he had caught a cold by accident, and he was afraid that the illness would be given to you, young mistress, so he didn't come today."

Hui'an just smiled when he heard the words, raised his eyebrows and said, "Sick? What a coincidence..."

Her voice was light and light, and there was even a hint of a smile, but Hu Kui's heart trembled somehow after being swept away by her eyes and hearing that laughter.Zheng Xin felt uneasy, but listened to Hui'an again.

"However, this person eats whole grains, and it's not uncommon for him to get sick. If he doesn't come, he doesn't come. It's the same when we meet again. Don't worry too much, Housekeeper Hu."

Everyone just heard Hui'an's words, and they were all worried. Today they wanted to see Hui'an's attitude and her personality, so as to figure out how to behave in the future. Now that Aunt Hu is throwing stones to find the way, they I have to watch it carefully.

Housekeeper Hu's family has gained power in the mansion for the new year, and Cui is the elder of the third young lady. They really feel that the third young lady dare not or has the guts to attack Aunt Hu.

Besides, when someone is sick, if you only focus on these trivial things, you will get angry. First, you will appear unsteady, and second, it will be unfair. It is also unfilial to attack the able-bodied people around the mother.

It's just that Mrs. Hu was fine yesterday, but now she is ill. The reason for this is clear to everyone here, and the third young lady is not a fool, she also understands it clearly.This is the first day for the third young mistress to be in charge. If she just let Aunt Hu and a servant slap her in the face on the first day, it would be a soft persimmon and there is no way. Fall back into the hands of Mrs.If the third young mistress really sent the Hu family down like this, it also shows that she is a powerful person, and they will take care of one or two things in their actions in the future, but it also seems that she is impulsive, a little bit impatient, and she is not worthy of them Afraid and apprehensive, and fooling around in the future, just do what should be done.

That's why when everyone heard Huian's words just now, they thought she was going to get angry with Aunt Hu, and they were all worried, but who knew that Hui'an would excuse Aunt Hu and comfort Hu Kui.Everyone was stunned for a moment, looked up and saw Hui An sitting there, with a kind smile on his lips, a bit of contempt appeared on their faces, thinking that this young lady is nothing more than that, she is so fearful.
