Splendid Pastoral Wife

Chapter 264 Designing to seize power, secretly investigating secrets (4)
"Jing'er, you have summoned all the people in the mansion, but what do you want to announce?" After the old lady came in, she understood the situation in the room, knowing that Tian Jing must have something important to announce before she summoned all the people in the mansion. Come to his study.

"Mother, I do have something to announce."

He glanced at the people present, all of them looked confused, only Tian Liusu lowered his head, with an indifferent expression on his face, not surprised by honor or disgrace, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

"Oh, if you have anything to say, just say it, everyone is already here." Seeing that she really had something to say, the old lady couldn't help urging him.

"Butler Li, tell us the details of the matter in front of everyone."

After hearing Tian Jing's order, Steward Li agreed and stepped forward to briefly talk about the loss of more than a dozen shops under the name of Xiangfu.

After listening, there was a sound of "tsk tsk" from the crowd, and most people had gloating expressions on their faces, especially San Yiniang. After Tian Liushi was ruined by others, her depressed mood for many days finally got some relief from the eldest lady today. relief.

"Jing'er, what's going on? Who dares to suppress our Prime Minister's property behind the scenes?" Although the old lady tried her best to suppress the joy in her heart, she still asked Tian Jing with a solemn face.

"I don't know. The people behind the scenes did everything flawlessly without leaving any clues, so they couldn't be found out at all. Maybe it was caused by her improper management."

Tian Jing said slowly.

"Master, since you have called so many people here, don't you just want to punish your concubines in front of them? I don't know how the master will punish, whether it is to face the wall or ground or enforce the family law, please ask the master to clarify."

The eldest lady felt uncomfortable hearing the old lady's joyful tone, and still spoke forcefully to prevent them from continuing.

"Hmph, since I called them here, it is natural to punish you in front of them, so that they will also have a vigilance in their hearts, don't be like you."

Tian Jing opened his mouth slowly.

"Father, mother has worked so hard for the prime minister's house, and now she has made such a mistake, how can she be punished? Father, please do me a favor and bypass mother this time."

Tian Liuyue hurriedly pleaded for mercy when she heard the words.

"The country has state laws, and the family has family rules. She has made such a big mistake, how can I justify it if I don't punish her? How can the world be peaceful if the family is not governed? If so, use the family law..."

"Father, mother is the mistress of Xiangfu, how can she deal with it according to family law?" Tian Liufeng even stood up and stopped Tian Jing's words.

Seeing Tian Liufeng like this, the eldest lady finally felt relieved, and raised her head happily. At the critical moment, her son was still thinking of her. He was pleading for her, right?
"Oh, then what's your opinion?" Tian Jing always obeyed Tian Liufeng's words, and when he saw him open his mouth, he readily handed over the right of disposal to him.

"Let mother hand over the power of running the house, and stay in the yard to rest with peace of mind." Tian Liu Fengyun said calmly.

"No..." Before everyone could react, the eldest lady yelled and fell into Tian Liuyue's arms.

"Mother, mother..." Tian Liuyue hugged the eldest lady and called her, and all the maids stepped forward and massaged and pinched her, waking her up again after a while.

"No, Liu Feng, are you still my son? Why do you treat your mother like this? How can you take away my right to head the house?" The eldest lady screamed emotionally as soon as she woke up.

"You have been in charge of the family for so many years, it's time for you to let the virtuous. This is my decision, and no one can question it." Tian Liufeng suddenly exuded an aura all over his body, and that aura was also very fierce. With a different momentum than usual, I couldn't help but look at it twice, thinking about it in my mind.

"Big brother, how can you help an outsider take mother's power over the house?" Tian Liuyue yelled as she supported the eldest lady.

"Father, let's settle this matter like this. Let mother hand over the power of running the house, and let the other aunts in the mansion take charge first." Tian Liufeng ignored Tian Liuyue's roar, turned to look at Tian Jingdao.

"Alright, if you hand over the power to her again, I'm afraid it will ruin the family business, so let your mother hand over the power of the house."

Tian Jing thought about it for a while, and felt that this was the only way to do it. The person behind the scenes clearly had a grudge against the eldest lady, and they specifically suppressed the shop she was in charge of in order to retaliate against her. Missing her, if he wanted to revive the loss-making property, he had to stop her power over the family, Liu Feng saw it very clearly.

The eldest lady naturally didn't know what Tian Jing and Tian Liufeng were thinking, she was almost heartbroken with anger, seeing that the situation was over, she could only swallow blood with tears in her eyes, and sat there blankly.

"Jing'er, it's better to let Yufeng and the aunt in the mansion run the house together and supervise each other, so that no injustice will happen."

After hearing this, the old lady hurriedly advised Tian Jing, wanting to fight for the right to be in charge of the house.

Tian Jing frowned and thought about it, the power to run the house must not fall into the hands of the old lady, he still understands this very well.

"Father, brother, Liusu can recommend someone, I wonder if it is possible?" At this moment, Tian Liusu stepped forward to salute, and spoke to Tian Jing and Tian Liufeng who were seated.

"Second sister, tell me." Tian Liufeng said happily when he saw her stand up.

Seeing Tian Liusu standing up to speak, the old lady and the second lady couldn't help but look at each other and smile at each other, thinking that Tian Liusu must be recommending Li Yufeng.

"Fifth Auntie is gentle, generous, and can read and write, so she should be competent." Tian Liusu said without looking at the crowd.

"What? The fifth aunt is just an aunt in the mansion, and she is about the same as a maid in terms of status. If she is in charge of the house, how can she hold back the slaves in the mansion?"

Seeing that Tian Liusu didn't even mention it, Li Yufeng couldn't help feeling angry, so she objected.

"Grandmother's words are wrong. What the head of the family wants is to have a fair attitude, be lenient and considerate to the servants, and have the ability to read and write. Fifth Aunt has all these conditions. How can she not suppress the slaves in the house? Besides, she has the backing of her father, who dares to disrespect her?"

Tian Liusu disagreed with the old lady's opinion and expressed her own opinion.

"Second sister is right. In this way, let Fifth Yiniang temporarily take over the house for mother, and the elder sister and second sister will assist from it. They can also learn how to run the house. What does father think?"

Tian Liufeng learned the technique of checks and balances well. After he finished speaking, Tian Jing immediately nodded in agreement.

"Then this matter is settled like this. From tomorrow onwards, you can hand it over to Fifth Yiniang."

Tian Jing glanced at the eldest lady again, and saw that all her thoughts were lost, she stared at the front dully like an old monk, and ignored the situation in the room. room for it.
