Stepmother's Adoption Letter

Chapter 48 The Reputation of Disobedience (3)
After returning home, Mama Hua persuaded her, "Brother Che is really caring to you."

Yuan Lu sighed: "That's right, we can't ask every child to be like Brother Che."

Yuan Lu didn't move much towards the food, Mother Hua hurriedly brought a bowl of Guan Yan for her to eat.

Lu Shui muttered beside him, "The old lady's food is too greasy, how can our lady get used to it."

Others may not have heard it, but Qing Jiang who was at the side heard it clearly and hurriedly pulled her away.Lu Shui closed her mouth angrily.

Yuan Lu had eaten bird's nest, and thought that she would meet the housekeeper and accountant in the afternoon.

The housekeeper's name is Gao Da, and the accountant's name is Gao Er. They have similar names, but they are not brothers. They are two children picked up by the old Duke during the war.

The old man hadn't studied for two years, and he didn't know if the two children could support him at that time, so he just named them randomly.

Unexpectedly, this tall and sophomore not only survived, but also became a capable person in the Duke's mansion.

Tall, white and fat, without a beard, he smiles a little when he sees people before he speaks.A sophomore in high school with a thin face and dark face, he is taciturn, and his abacus is very beautiful.

When the two of them saw Yuan Lu, Gao Da made a bow first, and said with a smile, "Young lady, please be well. Madam can't be more happy looking at her now."

The second year of high school held the ledger and abacus, and bowed stiffly.

Yuan Lu showed them all a seat, and said with a smile, "I don't care about etiquette here, let's all sit and talk."

Gao Dao: "Don't dare to dare, the young ones can just stand up and report. There is no way to show a big face in front of Madam."

The second year of high school also said "dare not dare".

Seeing that the two of them advanced and retreated in a controlled manner, and did not rely on their identities, Yuan Lu felt relieved.

Gao Shi then explained the usual income and expenditure of the mansion, and the second year of high school gave Yuan Lu the account book for her to read, afraid that she would not understand, so he reported the account concisely.

Yuan Lu had already taken last month's paper from the old lady, and the one submitted by the sophomore year was the current month's paper.She glanced quickly, and most of the numbers were the same as what the sophomore said.

She was quite distressed before, if these two people were like those slippery uncles under her father's hands in her previous life, how would she deal with them.

Although I only met briefly now, I can already see that these two people are well-chosen, they can do things, they don't flinch, and they don't use their status as old servants to overwhelm others.Really commendable.

It's no wonder that although the old lady doesn't seem to be a shrewd and capable person, the Duke's Mansion has been able to walk down safely for so many years.

Yuan Lu prepared a heavy purse for each of them, but they didn't refuse and accepted it graciously.

After the two of them left, Yuan Lu made a calculation in her heart. The account of the public school was clear, and the servants in the family could not help it. Although the old lady looked fierce, she had a grandma by her side. Mama can also persuade her.Now as long as the two elder brothers and one younger sister are guarded until Cheng Guogong leaves the battlefield, and then talk about reconciliation later, it will not be regarded as sorry for them.

She really had a good plan, Mother Hua thought about it, and said to her: "Since everyone in the family has met, the third girl in the back should also meet."

Yuan Lu was at a loss. She had never heard that there was a third girl in the Duke's mansion.Didn't it mean that the old Duke fought all the year round, and only his two sons survived?
Mother Hua explained: "That's... the third girl from a concubine, your sister-in-law."
