The reborn daughter seeks marriage

Chapter 36
"Chun Nuan, go and call me all the women in charge in the mansion, and tell them to come to the house in half an hour."

"Yes, ma'am!"

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl with a delicate appearance responded softly, then turned and walked out.

Qiu Xueshan married into the Mo House and brought four maids with her. They were all named after solar terms, namely Chunnuan, Xiaxiao, Qiuliang and Dongyi.Among them, Chunnuan is Qiu Xueshan's confidant and the most favored maidservant around her.The other three are second-class maidservants, and they have been with her for at least five years. They are familiar with her personality and preferences, and they are also loyal to her.

Chun Nuan was the oldest, almost eighteen years old, and the others were all fifteen or sixteen years old, but they were trained by Qiu Xueshan to be very obedient and stable.This also showed Qiu Xueshan's tactics. When Mo Xuan appeared in Qiu Xueshan's room, these little maids didn't even dare to raise their heads.Although she was well-dressed, she didn't wear makeup on her face, and she didn't have a hint of seductiveness.

And Qiu Xueshan is obviously very relieved about her girls.You must know that all these girls are younger and more beautiful than her, but they never dare to show off in front of Mo Xuan.

After a while, all the respectable women in charge of the Mo Mansion arrived at the main room.Chuwu's nanny, An Shi, is the nurse in charge of the Mo Mansion, Mama Cai who is in charge of the big kitchen, Mrs. Liu who is in charge of buying needlework and cloth, and several other minor housekeepers.

The people in Mo's house are simple, and there are not many women in charge in the house. When Qiu Xueyuan was the head of the house, she was extremely kind and treated the servants very loosely.Although there is a new master, but she is the original master's younger sister, and she feels like a gentle person who has been to the house before.The expressions on the faces of these women were less respectful, and they stood there quite loosely.

The actions of these women were naturally noticed by Qiu Xueshan.She had the usual gentle smile on her face, she didn't seem to care, but she was actually observing their every move secretly, with a hint of coldness in her eyes.

Qiu Xueshan paused for a long time, and then said: "I asked you to come here today because I need to discuss something with you."

"Ma'am, what did you say? If you have anything to do, just order us directly!" A woman in her forties said obsequiously, with a hint of flattery on her face.

Qiu Xueshan glanced at her indifferently, this person is Mrs. Liu who is in charge of purchasing, she is usually the most shrewd and stingy, and also the best at judging the situation.However, this person can stay. Although he is a bit greedy, he is easy to control and saves her a lot of effort.

"Nurse An, before this, you have been responsible for the daily expenses of the Mo residence, right?" Qiu Xueshan put her gaze on An Shi, with a somewhat ambiguous expression on her face.

"Yes, ma'am." The nanny nodded, her expression as usual.

"Mrs. Ben spent a few days reading through the account books you handed in. Most of them are fine. However, there seems to be something wrong about an expense in the kitchen. Although our Mo family has a big business, However, no amount of money can withstand some messy tossing!"

Having said this, Qiu Xueshan's face has changed, her gaze is sharp, and she sweeps over the women one by one, with a kind of majesty and shock.All the women in charge who were watching all lowered their heads, no longer the initial indifference.From the looks of it, this new lady is not like the previous lady, she is soft and easy to handle.

"Mother Cai!" Qiu Xueshan suddenly said coldly, "You are in charge of the big kitchen, Madam Ben would like to ask, what exactly is the extra money you spend every month?"

Mother Cai was slightly startled at first, but quickly regained her composure. Her expression was indifferent and she did not panic, and she argued loudly: "Madam, I have been wronged! This servant has been in charge of this big kitchen for almost ten years. Conscientious and conscientious, never seeking personal gain once! If you say that, the servant will not accept it!"

"Really? If that's the case, I want to convince you! Chunnuan, bring me the account book!"

Qiu Xueshan smiled coldly, motioned Chunnuan to take the account book in her hand, and said sharply: "Look for yourself, don't think that Mrs. Ben is easy to fool!"

Mother Cai took the account book in doubt and looked at it. The more she read it, the paler her expression became.

"How, how is it possible? Ma'am, this is not an account handled by slaves at all!"

"You still want to quibble? It's written in the account that every month the kitchen has to buy fifty catties of ginseng and twenty catties of top-grade bird's nest. The masters of Mo's house are only the master and the eldest lady. The master never likes these, so the eldest Miss, how could she eat so many bird's nests and ginseng by herself? Besides, these things were bought at twice the market price! Mrs. Ben would like to know what kind of supplements are sold at such a high price? I'm afraid, It's you greedy servants who think that the Mo Manor has no decent masters and the master doesn't care about the affairs of the inner house, so you dare to be so arrogant and do such a deceitful thing!"

Qiu Xueshan's tone was intimidating. She seemed to be speaking to Mama Cai, but in fact she was beating all the women in charge.From now on, she, Qiu Xueshan, will be the serious master of the Mo House, and no one can do anything under her nose!

"Ma'am, this slave is really wronged, Ma'am!"

Mother Cai's face turned pale, her eyes were full of panic and despair, she kept looking at the nanny beside her, showing a look of asking for help.

At this moment, the nanny's heart was also extremely restless, and her face was covered with gloom.Seeing Mama Cai's pleading expression, she turned her head directly, not wanting to answer.

She didn't expect that her good sister for many years would actually betray her.If this matter is related to her, won't the miss be involved?The atmosphere with the master was already tense, and she absolutely couldn't cause trouble for the young lady at this time.

Seeing that Cai's mother was still sophistrying, Qiu Xueshan smiled coldly, she couldn't help but shed tears when she saw the coffin.

"Why, do you need my wife to call Dr. Zhang from Huichun Hall before you confess? Or, do you need my wife to send you to the yamen before you can tell the truth?"

Hearing Qiu Xueshan's words, Mother Cai's expression became completely desperate. She had secretly dealt with Doctor Zhang of Huichun Hall for five years. The former wife didn't care about the big and small things in the house, and Nanny An was her old sister, so it was natural for her to do it Not afraid of being discovered.And now the new wife even knows about this matter, it seems that this time she can't escape.If she was sent to the yamen, a child of a family like myself, with a bad reputation, would definitely be kicked out of Mofu, and no big family would dare to accept her in the future!Isn't this going to kill her old life completely?
"Madam, please spare me! This old slave was fooled by pork for a while, so he did such a bastard thing! Madam, you have a lot of people, please don't send this slave to the yamen!"

Cai's mother had tears running down her old face, she hugged Qiu Xueshan's thigh and began to beg.Kicking her away in disgust, Qiu Xueshan looked at her and said coldly: "Tell me, what alliance do you have for doing such a thing? How can you be so courageous as a woman in charge! If you make it clear, Mrs. Ben can consider it and give her a lighter sentence!"

The cold gaze looked straight into Mama Cai's eyes, which were full of three points of temptation and seven points of threat.Mama Cai is such a shrewd person, she suddenly understood what she thought, and she immediately had a calculation in her heart.I quickly glanced at the nanny at the side, "Old sister, I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do about it.

"Madam Mingjian! The old woman is just a woman in charge of the kitchen, how dare she do such a thing! In fact, in fact, this is all ordered by the old slave to do it!"

"You spitting blood! Nonsense!"

The nanny let out a yell and pointed at Mama Cai angrily, her body trembling slightly.Mother Cai gritted her teeth, and continued to speak: "Ma'am, what this old slave is telling is the truth! I don't know a single big character, old lady, so how can I write the account book? Naturally, it was all done by Madam An. Everyone in the mansion is clear about the broken characters! These books are all evidence, and this old slave is a witness!"

"You!" The nanny opened her eyes angrily, "You are talking nonsense! Madame, she is lying! This servant did not do such a thing!"

"Nurse An, I never imagined that you would do such a thing out of selfishness in the Mo family for so many years! Don't think that my wife doesn't know that my sister used to be weak and sick, and all the affairs of the inner house were left to you, the nanny. It is because of this that you dare to hide money so brazenly and fill your own pockets! Your sinister intentions are simply intolerable! If the eldest lady knows that her close nanny has committed such a crime, I don’t know how sad it will be !Even if the master knows about it, he won’t tolerate you! Now that there are all witnesses and material evidence, you can’t justify yourself!”
