After the marriage, the cousin was spoiled by the whole family of the Marquis's Mansion

Chapter 24 A mess
"Young Madam, now, now everyone in the mansion is..."

Ji Xing stuttered a little. He went to the back room and the big kitchen early this morning and walked around, saying all kinds of things.

Rong Peilan leaned against the rattan chair, half-closed her eyes, and gently waved the round fan in her hand.

Hearing Jixing hesitate and only say half of the words, he opened his eyes slightly and chuckled.

"All? What are they saying? They are all saying that the young lady is jealous and she saw Liuyan taking the position, so she sent away the remaining maids."

Jixing shut his mouth.

The young lady knew everything, so why did she ask him to go for a walk?

Rong Peilan, "From today on, you will stay in Yuhui Garden and watch for those who try to poke their heads around and those who try to curry your favor. Write down their names."

Ji Xing scratched his head, not knowing what the young lady's intention was, so he nodded in agreement.

After that, the Marquis's mansion was in chaos, with maids dressed up in fancy clothes coming to Yuhui Garden from time to time.

Jixing, who was guarding Yuhui Garden, had received many gifts and had been well fed in the past few days.

Rong Peilan seemed to be blind to all this and went out with Zhong every day.

Zhong also suddenly let go, leaving the mansion in chaos.

-

In the back kitchen of the marquis's mansion, a group of old women gathered together, eating melon seeds and chatting.

The three maids who were driven out of Yuhui Garden were sent to the big kitchen by the steward. They had fallen from being the first-class maids beside their master to being menial maids in the kitchen. Bai Yu's face had not looked good for several days.

Mother Wang in the kitchen looked at Bai Yu who was adding water to the vat and couldn't help but sneer, "Our Miss Bai Yu has also come to do rough work. How could the prince be willing to give up such a precious person?"

Mother Wang once wanted to arrange an easy job for her daughter in Yuhui Garden. She approached Qingtan twice for this purpose, but Qingtan was ruthless, so she turned to Baiyu.

But Bai Yu accepted her twisted silver bracelet but failed to get the job done.

The silver bracelet was pawned by her gambling father for money, and he lost all his money. To this day, Mother Wang has not gotten her things back.

Now that Bai Yu was demoted to her own territory, she naturally had no moody expression.

Bai Yu's hands had become much rougher from working these days. She gritted her teeth and turned a deaf ear to what Mother Wang said.

She did nothing wrong, but she received the same punishment.

She knew that the young lady wanted to take this opportunity to discipline those women in Yuhui Garden who wanted to imitate Liuyan, and wanted to use the three of them as an example to scare the monkeys.

Unexpectedly, Jixing, who was beside the prince, suddenly walked around the mansion. It was obvious who gave the order.

Every master in every family has several concubines. The young lady is just the niece of the Xie family.

The house is in such a mess now that even my wife has given up.

Thinking of this, Bai Yu couldn't help sneering in his heart. Now let's see how she ends up.

Mother Wang felt bored, rolled her eyes, twisted her waist and went to the door to chat with the group of old sisters.

-

After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at the shops in the north city, they huddled together at the fragrant wonton stall, each holding a bowl of wontons.

Zhong: "Lan'er, what are you going to do? Do you have a plan now?"

In fact, the problems in the Marquis' Mansion have been a long-standing problem. Since they are all the elderly people in the mansion, everyone wants to give them some face, so things are always pushed to the last minute.

Rong Peilan swallowed the wonton in his mouth and said, "There is no construction without destruction. Beat the mountain to scare the tiger and kill the chicken to scare the monkey."

Rong Peilan wanted to use the issue of Yuhui Garden to reorganize the Marquis' Mansion.

Mrs. Zhong smiled. She was not wrong about her daughter-in-law.

"Lan'er, when mother was young, she followed the marquis in his campaigns. The mansion in Yanjing was left to Madam Zhou, Madam Qian, and Steward Wu to look after. Even Zhang'er's grandmother was well taken care of by the two mothers." "The two mothers inevitably take advantage of their age. Madam Qian's daughter Amber is an old woman, several years younger than Zhang'er. In recognition of Madam Qian's kindness, the mansion almost treats her like a half-girl."

"Mother Zhou is an honest person. Her son, Manager Zhou, is the manager of Xiangxiangyuan in Xicheng. He is also a capable person. Her daughter-in-law is Bai Yu's sister."

"You attacked the three maids this time, but the Marquis's Mansion almost came to a standstill. It's nothing more than that the two mothers felt that the new young lady didn't give the two old people face."

Rong Peilan wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Mother, you are still too kind."

If it were in the Xie Mansion, such a person would have been sold out by the aunt long ago, no matter whether he was an old or new person.

Rong Peilan thought of the past. "When I was a child, I went as far as Qingyun Prefecture with my parents. The emperor was far away there, and the role of the prefect was sometimes not as useful as that of a village tyrant. The runners sent out were often beaten black and blue. Gradually, the yamen could no longer recruit runners. No one dared to come even when the prefect used his own salary to subsidize the salary."

"The prefect had studied in the same academy as my father. He was troubled by Qingyun Prefecture, so my father gave him a solution. No matter how far away the village is, there is no need to worry about it being uncontrolled."

Zhong became interested, "What's the trick?"

Rong Peilan pursed her lips and smiled, "So those who are capable can accomplish their tasks without any effort, while those who rely on themselves will get nothing done."

Zhong, "Your father is really a wonderful man."

Rong Peilan thought of her father and the hairpin she got from the princess's mansion that day. She was stunned and said, "Yes..."

Mrs. Zhong felt it was a pity that such a talented person died so young. "Although Mr. Mingshi was a scholar, he was not pedantic. It is a pity for the court that such a talented person only served for three years."

She turned around again and saw Rong Peilan looking absent-minded, and thought she had touched her sore spot.

"Don't be sad, Lan'er. Once you enter the Ji family, you will be my daughter. In the future, besides Zhang'er, you will also have your parents by your side."

As she spoke, Mrs. Zhong stretched out her hand and covered Rong Peilan's hand, "Just do it, mother believes in you."

Rong Peilan came back to her senses, and looking at Zhong's sincere expression, her heart softened, "Thank you, mother."

Zhong is the head of the Marquis's Mansion. She gets up the earliest every day, just like a millstone. Every servant in the mansion is a millstone, which moves when pushed.

When the millers left, the mansion became a big millstone that would not turn.

Mrs. Zhong also saw through Rong Peilan's intentions, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law simply let the situation develop tacitly.

The mansion became increasingly chaotic. There was no one to sweep the courtyard, no one to take care of the horses in the stable, and even the fire in the kitchen was out.

The prince went out in the morning and didn't even have a single hot bite to eat, so he was very angry.

Seeing that the Marquis' Mansion was in chaos, Rong Peilan asked the butler to gather all the servants in the mansion to the front courtyard.

As the mistress had no plans for the past few days, the idle old women actually drank heavily in broad daylight. Now several of them are still sleeping soundly in the room and cannot be woken up even if they are called.

Rong Peilan stood on the steps.

There were more than 200 people from the Marquis's Mansion, filling the entire yard.

Rong Peilan knew that if the rules were not established after she swung the whip today, she would never be able to stand in this mansion again.

"I know that people in the mansion have been unstable and demoralized these days. Rumors are flying everywhere, saying all kinds of things."

Her voice was clear and neither hurried nor slow.

She was wearing a light blue skirt and had an upright figure. Even just standing there, she could not be underestimated.

"Many of you are meeting me for the first time today."

"Thanks to my mother's love, I will teach you everything I know about housekeeping."

"Mother is kind-hearted and has lived with you for decades. There are many things she cannot say, but I."

Having said this, her voice paused slightly, and she looked at the maids below who had different expressions on their faces.

"Only rules, not affection."
