spring boudoir secret

Chapter 22 Give me a face
"Mom, take a look."

Gu Changheng was so excited, he had already thought in his heart that he would control all the shops in the Hou Mansion, so that he would not be subject to Zhao Mingruo, and he could take Wanwan to the Hou Mansion as a wife in a fair and honest manner.

Seeing that the old lady ignored him, he urged her again.

The old lady gave him a blank look, this is her own son, and the third child is not up to date, otherwise she must be angry.

"You are going to take the imperial examination soon, so don't delay your studies because of such a trivial matter. If you fail the exam, the loss will not be worth the loss. Dafang has a reputation, and now he has entered the Imperial Academy."

It's a pity that Gu Changheng can't listen, "Mother, you don't have to worry about it. Mr. Yin said that I am born smart. It is not easy to surpass my elder brother. In the future, I will inherit my father's title and have great achievements in the court!"

The mother and son were chatting one after another, and Zhao Mingruo brought Ah Fu over.

"Mother, how is your health?" Zhao Mingruo asked with concern.

The old lady turned around silently, not wanting to pay attention to the two couples.

Gu Changheng was in a good mood to cheer, "Ah Ruo, don't worry, mother's illness has almost recovered, but you, why didn't you take a good rest in the room?"

Zhao Mingruo moved, "Don't worry, Husband. I took the medicine and I'm fine. It's a big matter for the Marquis to come to see my mother today. My daughter-in-law doesn't dare to make decisions on her own, so she can only come to ask what mother and husband think."

After finishing speaking, the evidence of Butler Chen's greed for ink was handed over to the two of them.

The old lady also followed to check.

"what!!"

"Damn Steward Chen, I knew that he was not greedy enough. He used his relationship with his mother to gain benefits in the Hou's mansion. I didn't expect him to be so shameless?"

Gu Changheng immediately became angry, he didn't even have 2 taels, if he had, it would be enough money for Wanwan to buy land! !

"Mother, this is the person you are looking for, no matter what you say, you can't let him stay in the Hou Mansion any longer!!"

The old lady was also surprised. She knew that her relative's hands and feet were dirty, but she didn't expect it to be so excessive and the amount was so large.

"This...Heng'er, it is indeed his fault that he is greedy. After all, he is also a relative. We can't really drive him out. At that time, we will definitely say that our Houfu has turned his back on him."

"Just give me this face."

Gu Changheng fell into hesitation, driving away would indeed affect his mother's reputation.

Zhao Mingruo added fuel to the fire, "It's easy to change the country, but it's hard to change the nature. Husband, if Steward Chen restrains himself a little bit, we won't have to keep an eye on him. It's just that the amount is too big. The Hou Mansion doesn't care about it now." Wealthy, I'm afraid I can't afford to support such a housekeeper."

"We don't even want people like Houfu Fuyu!" Gu Changheng threw the ledger in front of the old lady angrily, "Shoot him out now!"

Zhao Mingruo took advantage of the situation and said to the steps, "Then... who will take over Steward Chen's position?"

Gu Changheng frowned, "Let's let his former deputy take over, the one named Peng Nian, I think he's pretty good."

Having achieved his goal, Zhao Mingruo nodded and said, "Okay, then let Peng Nian take over as my husband said."

"Husband, don't be angry. Housekeeper Chen is a relative of mother after all. It's not good to call him out. You should just talk to him when you find a chance."

-

On a spring afternoon, the sun is warm, with a little gentle wind, gently blowing the branches that have turned green.

Peng Nian came to Yunyao Academy to report the good news to Zhao Mingruo.

"Second Madam, the villain has been officially appointed by the Second Master as the steward of the Hou's Mansion, please tell me if you have anything to do in the future."

Zhao Mingruo handed him the list that he had prepared in advance, "I have arranged all the candidates for important places, and you can decide the rest of your free time."

Although Steward Chen is greedy, he is a distant relative of the old lady after all. He is still very loyal in doing things in the Hou's mansion, and he can report any troubles in time. Now that he is gone and Peng Nian is the housekeeper, it will be very different. .

Peng Nian put away the list, "I understand, I will arrange it right away."

After sending Shen Qingshan away, Yao Hua also came over to greet Zhao Mingruo at the appointed time.

"Second Madam, my concubine has followed your instructions and managed to get the Second Master drunk and left him in the room last night. He got up early in the morning and mistakenly thought that I had consummated the room with him. He didn't reprimand me too much, just told me symbolically. I want to be honest and obedient, so the family will have a place for me."

Yao Hua explained what happened last night, Zhao Mingruo couldn't help but sneered, "He probably hid somewhere and laughed secretly, his eyes were straight when you offered tea."

Sure enough, Gu Changheng didn't let her down. He said that he was sincere to Yun Suwan, but it was the same. When he saw a beauty, he couldn't walk.

She was looking forward to Yun Suiwan arguing with Gu Changheng all day long because of his aunt after he entered the mansion, and Gu Changheng went from his considerate and gentle explanation at the beginning to the scene of impatience at the end.

Some even look forward to the two meeting strangers, and even fighting.

"Gu Changheng is soft but not tough. You just have to pretend to be pitiful and weak to win his sympathy. Dress up a little better. He can't resist the temptation. Just grab him and go to your room a few more times."

Zhao Mingruo asked again.

"In addition, don't relax Shuixiu. Right now, Yao Hua is in the light and you are in the dark. With the fate that we met at the inn before, Yun Suiwan will definitely find you. We can easily deal with her plans when the time comes."

"Don't be afraid of revealing your secrets. I am very secretive about your identities. She can't find any clues."

Ah Fu took two heavy bags of silver and distributed them to the two of them.

Zhao Mingruo raised his eyebrows, "Pay the deposit first."

Yao Hua and Shui Xiu smiled, "Thank you, Second Madam."

The afternoon sun was just right, so Zhao Mingruo showed up rarely, and took Yao Hua to familiarize himself with the situation of the Hou Mansion.

Shuixiu followed behind and looked curiously at the place where she would live in the future, and suddenly found a beautiful figure appearing behind her.

That person just happened to be looking at her, and greeted her warmly.

Shuixiu casually said a few words to Yao Hua, then trotted towards the man, "Madam, it's you..."

She recognized Yun Suiwan who she saw at the inn at a glance.

Yun Suiwan smiled gently, "Yes, it's me, you still remember me."

"I didn't expect that the Miss Yao you mentioned before would marry into the Hou's mansion and be my cousin's aunt. It seems that we are really destined."

Shui Xiu knew the truth a long time ago, but she still smiled and cooperated with Yun Suiwan's performance, pretending to be surprised, "It turns out that it is Madam, your cousin, there is really a fate."

"No, if I had known that your lady was going to marry my cousin to be my aunt, then we would have gotten to know each other well."
