As soon as Jiang Jiaojiao and Caiyan returned to the house and sat down, Zhao Wu came back with a large bouquet of wild chrysanthemums.

Caiyan found a vase and put the chrysanthemums in the vase, and the dull room suddenly had a glimmer of life.

"Watch and enjoy."

Jiang Jiaojiao was very satisfied with Zhao Wu. Caiyan took out a silver lock and handed it to Zhao Wu, "It will be indispensable for you to serve the second young lady well."

"I don't want any benefits, as long as the lady is happy." Zhao Wu was not in a hurry to receive the reward, and said with a sincere face.

With such a loyal servant, Jiang Jiaojiao raised her eyes and looked at Zhao Wu carefully.

Although his appearance is a bit rough, he is still upright and tall. He is suitable for looking after the home and nursing home.

"Why haven't I seen you here before?"

"I have been here less than a year." Zhao Wu lowered his eyebrows and answered Jiang Jiaojiao's question respectfully.

"You're not a family member?" Jiang Jiaojiao asked again.

Zhao Wu shook his head, "No, I came to seek refuge with my aunt when my hometown was hit by drought. It happened that the village was short of a driver, so I stayed behind."

Only then did Caiyan notice that Zhao Wu looked very similar to Zhuangzi's housekeeper, especially his dark skin and thick lips.

"Okay, let's go down. I'll call you if I need anything."

When the lady spoke, Caiyan pushed the silver lock into Zhao Wu's hand, "Take it, the lady rewards you because she thinks highly of you. Just work hard from now on."

Zhao Wu took the silver reward and thanked him again before bowing and exiting.

"Miss, Zhao Wu looks quite smart, why do you think he is so naive?"

"I come from the countryside and have never seen the world. It's a pity that such a slave is not a death bond."

Jiang Jiaojiao secretly calculated in her heart that she only had Caiyan as her confidant. It would be better if she could have a useful servant. A servant who has never seen the world doesn't know how to be cunning, so it would be easier to use.

After Zhao Wu left, Caiyan pinched her purse and said, "Miss, we don't have much money in hand, so don't just give rewards easily in the future."

After coming to Zhuangzi, Jiang Jiaojiao only rewarded the housekeeper and Zhao Wu.

Jiang Jiaojiao frowned slightly and sighed: "We have no relationship or relationship with the servants of Zhuangzi. If we don't reward them at all, I'm afraid we won't even get chicken soup."

The mountains are high and the emperor is far away, Jiang Jiaojiao knows this truth well in her heart.

Her eyes flashed slightly, "I think Zhao Wu is a good person. If anything happens in the future, let him handle it."

"Second Miss, the housekeeper is here."

Jiang Jiaojiao was about to change into her pajamas and lie down on the bed when Zhao Wu's voice sounded at the door.

"What is he doing here? Go and have a look."

The footsteps outside the door receded, and Caiyan walked behind the screen to help Jiang Jiaojiao change her clothes.

"Miss, did the madam ask the housekeeper to send supplements?"

"No, Aunt Zheng is in charge of the house. Mother can't make the decision. Besides, the housekeeper doesn't need to deliver the supplements personally."

Things are different now. Gone are the days when her mother ruled the house with one hand. Jiang Jiaojiao doesn't dare to hope for that.

On the morning when she left the Shangshu Mansion, her father didn't give her a good look. Yang didn't give her much money, which showed that her mother didn't have enough money for herself.

For some reason, Jiang Jiaojiao felt a bad premonition in her heart.

She got better dressed, took off her hairpin and sat down on the bed. Caiyan took the quilt and covered her with it and comforted her: "Miss, don't worry. If there is anything important, the housekeeper will come to see you."

After a while, Zhao Wu ran back in a panic.

He reported through the door: "Second Miss, it's not good, the housekeeper wants to resign the servant."

Caiyan and Jiang Jiaojiao looked at each other and walked towards the door, "Did the housekeeper tell you why he fired you?"

"Not only do I have to quit my slaves, I also have to quit all the people who signed the living contract on Zhuangzi."

Caiyan was shocked. Most of the mothers-in-law in Zhuangzi were living contract. If they all resigned, who would cook, wash and serve them? "

Jiang Jiaojiao knew better than Caiyan who were the people in Zhuangzi, so it was no small matter to resign a large number of servants.

Thinking that she might have been implicated in the Shangshu Mansion because of her own affairs, she suddenly widened her eyes and shouted outside: "Come in quickly and answer the question."

Caiyan turned sideways and urged: "Come in and explain clearly what happened?"

Zhao Wu walked in with his head lowered and knelt down with a "pop" sound, "Second Miss, please save me. As long as Miss keeps me here, I don't need a monthly salary and I can be rewarded with food."

Jiang Jiaojiao sat up straight and asked anxiously: "Tell me, why did you dismiss the servant?"

"It's ma'am."

"Madam! Impossible." Caiyan walked to the bed in three steps and two steps at a time.

"The madam clearly knows that the young lady needs someone to take care of her. How could she dismiss the people in the village?"

"What the housekeeper said is that he really got rid of all the redundant people in the village under the order of my wife. The housekeeper also brought people to buy land. Those people are already watching from outside."

It was impossible for Zhao Wu to lie. Jiang Jiaojiao suddenly came to her senses. People around her mother still called her madam in private. The lady Zhao Wu mentioned was obviously not her mother.

"Did father marry a new wife?" Jiang Jiaojiao blurted out in a hurry.

Only then did Caiyan realize that something was wrong. She turned around and asked, "Did the housekeeper tell me who the new lady is?"

"My servant doesn't know that the housekeeper is explaining to the servant's aunt how to send people away. The aunt asked the housekeeper to keep the villain. The housekeeper said that he couldn't make the decision. He also said that the master was in urgent need of money to buy a house and had to deal with the problems in the village. field."

"Have you ever talked about selling the house on Zhuangzi?" Jiang Jiaojiao's eyes were filled with despair.

My father wants to buy another house, which is a big deal.

"That's not true."

After Zhao Wu finished speaking, he raised his head slightly and begged, "Miss, can you keep me?"

Something happened in the mansion, so Jiang Jiaojiao had no intention of lying down.

She said to Zhao Wu, "You go down and wait. I didn't let you go. Let's see who dares to do anything wrong."

When Zhao Wu heard that there was a chance, he kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Second Miss. As long as Second Miss keeps me, I will go through fire and water for you."

Zhao Wu retreated.

Jiang Jiaojiao got up from the bed and tidied her hair. She told Caiyan, "I'll go to the small hall. You ask the housekeeper to see me."

Caiyan took the order and went out. Jiang Jiaojiao casually put on a coat and a cloak and walked towards the small hall.

After a while, the housekeeper and Caiyan came in.

"Hello, Second Miss." The housekeeper bowed with a blank expression, and his courtesy was thoughtful, but people could not see the respect.

"What happened in the mansion? Why do you want to deal with the people here?" Jiang Jiaojiao asked.

Next, the housekeeper told her about Jiang Zhengming's demotion and Concubine Zheng's promotion to the principal wife.

Jiang Jiaojiao was shocked and trembled slightly.

What would happen to her in the future? Her mother had made a thousand plans, but she didn't expect the emperor to demote her father.

The housekeeper didn't have time to see her sad, so he bowed and said goodbye.

"Miss, Concubine Zheng has become the mistress. Will she decide your marriage in the future?"

Jiang Jiaojiao closed her eyes in despair, "She is of humble status, and the people she associates with are not up to standard. What good family can she choose for me?"

In half a day, the housekeeper dealt with the people and things in the manor.

Only the housekeeper and a cook were left in the whole manor. Zhao Wu was left behind, and Jiang Jiaojiao paid for him herself.

When the housekeeper learned that her nephew had caught the second lady's eye, she came up with a plan.

She looked around, avoided the other cook and walked towards the stable.
