Catching an adulterer at the beginning, the mistress of the Marquisate went crazy

Chapter 127 It’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice

"Madam, I understand how you and Third Sister feel after this happened, but we can't take the initiative to bring it up..."

Before Liu Tianshu finished her words, Hou said unhappily, "Liu, do you want to help that mother and daughter?"

"Ma'am, I definitely don't mean that."

Liu Tianshu sighed.

"Madam, has the Chang family come to propose marriage? Do you have the documents to take a concubine? If there is nothing, we will take the initiative to send our fourth sister to them. How will they view our mansion and the girls in our mansion?"

Since this matter concerned the reputation of all the girls in the Marquis' Mansion, and naturally it was also related to Gu Jinqing, the Hou family's attitude softened a little.

"So what do you say we should do about this?"

"Madam, Third Sister has never met the Second Young Master of the Chang Family before. It's not a big deal if he recognizes the wrong person or says the wrong thing.

If the Chang family still has any sense of propriety, they should come forward and apologize to my mansion.

On the contrary, if we take the initiative to send our daughter to the Chang family as a concubine, people will say that the girls in our mansion are worthless, and then our third sister will not be able to hold her head up high when she marries into the Chang family."

"It's all because of this unlucky star."

Hou's airway.

"Madam, calm down."

Liu Tianshu comforted her, "The guests present are all smart people. They can all tell that the second son of the Chang family has recognized the wrong person. As for the fourth sister, she cannot get married in the capital. It is better to wait for the imperial examination next year and choose one from those poor scholars so that she can stay away from the capital."

When Aunt Liu heard that her daughter was going to marry a poor student and that they might never see each other again, she was reluctant. However, it was better than marrying her daughter to the Chang family and being tortured by Gu Jin from then on.

"Madam, the fourth young lady is young and ignorant, so she did something wrong. Madam is right. Let her marry far away and never return to the capital from now on."

"Huh, how can there be such a good thing in the world?"

Hou snorted coldly.

"Lord Chang is the Minister of Personnel. As long as that person still wants to be an official in the court, he will not dare to offend the Chang family. Do you think your good daughter can marry anyone other than the Chang family?"

As soon as Hou said this, Aunt Liu and Gu Jinmei both turned pale.

The mother and daughter had lived peacefully in the mansion for more than ten years and had never thought of competing with Gu Jinqing for anything.

Seeing that her only way out was gone, Gu Jinmei gritted her teeth and said, "Since no one dares to marry me, I will never marry. I will cut my hair and become a nun..."

Gu Jinqing sneered, "If the Chang family knew that you would rather become a nun than marry their second son, which nunnery would dare to accept you?"

Neither left nor right worked. The little girl Gu Jinmei finally ran out of ideas and fell to the ground in despair.

"Madam, Third Sister, if that's the case, then the only option left for Fourth Sister is to become the concubine of the Second Young Master of the Chang Family."

After saying that, Liu Tianshu looked at Aunt Liu and Gu Jinmei.

"Aunt Liu, Fourth Sister, if that's the case, you don't have to be sad. It's good to be an aunt in the Chang family peacefully."

"lady……"

Aunt Liu looked at Liu Tianshu in surprise, but she had already turned to look at Hou.

"Madam, even if our mansion is eager to send our daughter to be the concubine of the second son of the Chang family, we still have to abide by the rules and etiquette. You are the fourth sister's mother, so this matter can only be handled by you."

"I dont go."

Hou said without thinking: "I can't afford to lose that person..."

"Third sister is going?"

Liu Tianshu turned her gaze to Gu Jinqing again.

"I'm not going either."

After Gu Jinqing finished speaking, he glared at Liu Tianshu unhappily.

"Sister-in-law, you are now the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion, so you should be the one to speak on this matter."

"I don't agree with this matter. If I intervene, it will only make the relationship between the two families worse. If Third Sister doesn't care about the marriage with the Chang family, I can go and make some moves."

"you dare……"

Gu Jinqing glared at Liu Tianshu fiercely.

"Liu Tianshu, the Queen Mother has arranged a marriage for me and the second son of the Chang family. Do you still want to ruin this marriage and give it to your sister?"

"What are you talking about, Third Sister? My Third Sister has already married the Marquis as a concubine. What's the point of me calculating all this?"

Liu Tianshu won't take the blame for this.

Gu Jinqing was not convinced and said, "Everyone knows that you have a second sister, Liu Tianjia, in your family. Before the Second Young Master and I got engaged, she had once coveted the Second Young Master."

This really made Liu Tianshu unable to refute, but she just smiled, neither denying nor admitting it.

Anyway, in her opinion, whether Gu Jinmei marries the second son of the Chang family has nothing to do with her.

The reason why I stayed here and said so much nonsense was just to watch a good show and to stimulate the Hou mother and daughter subtly.

"According to Third Sister, who should handle this matter?"

After that, Liu Tianshu said directly: "Don't look at me, I will only make things worse."

"Humph!"

Hou snorted coldly.

"You and your daughter have been working in the yard for the past few months. No one is allowed to leave the yard without my order."

"Yes!"

Although the matter had not been completely resolved and they did not have to face Hou's cold face, Aunt Liu and Gu Jinmei were still very happy. They bowed respectfully and walked out the door.

"Madam, the matter has been resolved. I will go back first. I still have a lot of accounts to look after..."

"Didn't you say that there were only 500 taels of silver left in the Marquis's account? You can't even figure out this little account?"

Listening to Hou's contemptuous words, Liu Tianshu sighed.

"A good cook cannot cook without rice. When we have money, we just need to remember every account clearly. Now that we have no money, we have to be thrifty. Not only do we need to remember every account clearly, but we also need to find ways to save money. After all, this is such a big mansion, and the daily expenses are huge."

After saying that, Liu Tianshu looked at the changed expressions of Gu Jinqing and her daughter, and pretended to be helpless and said, "It will take until the middle of next month for the income from the shop to be collected. It seems that I have to live frugally for more than half a month. Where can I save the money?"

"Dont look at me……"

Seeing Liu Tianshu's eyes falling on her, Hou quickly dodged.

"Dont look at me……"

After Gu Jinqing finished speaking, he walked out the door.

What a joke! The living standard in the Marquis' Mansion has just improved a little bit recently. She hasn't had time to enjoy all kinds of delicious food yet, but she doesn't want her expenses to be cut.

Watching Gu Jinqing leave, Hou also wanted to leave, but this was her main courtyard and she had nowhere to leave.

After coughing twice, Hou pretended to be helpless and said, "Liu, everything in the Hou Mansion can be traced. You can't just arbitrarily deduct the expenses of the masters in the mansion."

"Don't worry, old lady. Our mansion is not yet at the point where we can't afford to eat. But we can't be as extravagant as before."

After saying that, Liu Tianshu sighed helplessly.

"In the past, the Marquis' Mansion had the salary of the Marquis and rewards from the palace, so we could live such a luxurious life. Now our Marquis' Mansion does not have anyone serving as an official in the court. From now on, we must be more low-key in our conduct."

After saying that, Liu Tianshu didn't even look at Hou, her expression becoming increasingly ugly, and she turned around and walked out the door...
