Chapter 117

Lianxiang quickly served the porridge, placed it in front of the young lady, and said softly: "Miss, hurry up and eat some porridge."

Rong Lanxue frowned. At this time, in the huge Zongfu, she only knew Lianxiang and Yupan, two girls. Zong Yunlong took Jiqing, and she didn't know where she went?Those servants looked at her with strange eyes again, and she couldn't help but worry, could she manage these people well?What is waiting for me?

Lianxiang, Yupan also has a deep sense of strangeness and fear at this time, can Miss handle these people?And that mother Yang, how will Miss deal with it?

Rong Lanxue was thinking about it, and Lianxiang looked at the lady not eating porridge, and asked cautiously: "Miss, is this porridge not to your taste? Do you want the kitchen to make another one?"

"No, no, it's fine." Rong Lanxue quickly said in a low voice, "We'd better keep a low profile now."

Lianxiang said worriedly: "Miss, I really feel alone and helpless."

"Well, I have it too." Rong Lanxue said in a low voice: "We can't be afraid, we've reached this point, we can only move forward, we can't go back."

"Miss, what are we going to do?" Lianxiang looked at the maids standing beside her. Although they were smiling, anyone with a discerning eye could immediately see that these smiles were not from the heart.

"Let me think about it." Rong Lanxue's mind is spinning rapidly at this moment. These things are intertwined, like a hemp rope without a head. Now she has to sort out a clue. one step action.

"Lianxiang, help me think about it too. What should we do now? You see, I am not familiar with the Zongfu at all, how can I take over immediately? Those servants will definitely not listen to me." Rong Lan Snow said with some embarrassment.

Lianxiang thought for a while and said: "Miss, since we can't manage the clan's mansion now, mother Yang was still waiting for Miss in the room just now, how about..."

"It's better to invite Mama Yang to be the supervisor." Rong Lanxue suddenly realized, with a happy expression on her face, "Lianxiang, you are still smart."

Yupan said on the side: "Miss, if Madam Yang is still in charge of the affairs of the clan, then we will never have a foothold. Besides, the third son of Zong just announced that Miss is the mistress of the clan. If Miss goes again Looking for Mama Yang, will Mr. Zong San think that the young lady is being lazy?"

"What Yupan said makes sense." Rong Lanxue nodded, "We must think of a way to get the best of both worlds."

"Miss is still the hostess of the Zongfu, but she does it in secret. Mother Yang will come forward for everything." Lianxiang added, "We will talk about it after we get familiar with the environment of the Zongfu."

Rong Lanxue nodded, "That's the only way, Lianxiang, go ask that maid, which room does Yang's mother live in?"

Lianxiang walked over quickly, blessed her, and said softly: "Sister, where is Mama Yang's room? Maybe my sister will take our young lady there?"

Hearing Lianxiang's words, the maid plopped in fright, fell to her knees, and kowtowed to Rong Lanxue.Rong Lanxue asked in surprise: "What's the matter with you? I just asked you to lead the way, why kowtow and what?"

"Young mistress, the servant girl didn't hear anything, young mistress don't hand over the slave girl to Mama Yang again." The servant girl begged bitterly.

Rong Lanxue was even more puzzled, "It's not that I want to hand you over to Mama Yang, I have something to discuss with Mama Yang, but this mansion is too big and I don't know the way, so I let you lead the way." .”

The servant girl breathed a sigh of relief just now, and replied in a trembling voice: "Forgive me, young mistress, this servant has been on the sidelines for a while, young mistress, please eat first, and this servant will take young mistress there."

Only then did Rong Lanxue pick up the porridge. The pot in which the porridge was placed was probably specially made. It was still warm after being left for so long. , just then put down the bowl, ordered Lianxiang, and Yupan ate the rest of the porridge. The rough servant girl came and cleaned it up. Rong Lanxue rested for a while, and the maid came over and said softly: "Young lady , please go with the slaves."

Rong Lanxue was curious about the maid, and kept asking her what her name was, how long she had been at the house, what she was doing, and so on.

The servant girl answered one by one, her name is Jing'er, she has been in the mansion for less than a year, because her family is poor and her parents can't afford to support her, so she was sold to the ancestral mansion, where she usually cleans the room in the front hall.In the back hall, Mama Yang didn't allow her to go there anymore.

Rong Lanxue couldn't help but asked strangely: "There is no one in this house, the master and wife have passed away, why doesn't Mama Yang allow you to go to the back hall?"

"This..., I don't know..." Jing'er hesitated to speak, and Rong Lanxue became more and more suspicious.

"No wonder you're so scared!" Lianxiang interjected, "Then going to Mama Yang's place now, will you be punished?"

"With the young mistress here, probably not. Besides, I just sent the young mistress to Mama Yang's room, not the back hall." Jing'er said with her head down.

"Where is the back hall?" Rong Lanxue asked casually.

"It's the young master's residence." Jing'er blurted out unpreparedly.Rong Lanxue couldn't help but smiled and understood immediately.

After passing through several corridors, when she reached a small courtyard, Jing'er suddenly stopped, turned around and whispered back: "Young Mistress, Mama Yang's room is here. The servants can no longer see Young Mistress."

Rong Lanxue nodded understandingly, "Go back first."

Rong Lanxue took a look at this small courtyard. Mama Yang's status in the clan's mansion was obviously very high. Although she was a slave, she had her own yard, room, and even a dedicated servant. No wonder she was unwilling to let go. Things are too high, and I don't want to go home to take care of the elderly.

Rong Lanxue stood at the gate of the courtyard but did not go in, Lianxiang asked: "Miss, why don't you go in?"

"Mama Yang has such a maid to serve her, so no one reported the young lady's arrival?" Rong Lanxue said strangely, "There is only one possibility."

"What Mr. Zong San said in the front hall today, someone probably reported to Mama Yang that she knew about it. Even if the young lady came to her residence, she must also know, but she deliberately acted like this to test the young lady." Lianxiang analyzed in a low voice. road.

Rong Lanxue nodded, "We have to be careful, we can't let her succeed, but we can't provoke her."

Lianxiang looked at Rong Lanxue, "Miss, what should we do?"

Rong Lanxue said to Yupan, "Go in and tell Mama Yang that I'm coming."

"Me?" Yupan said timidly, "What if Mother Yang gets angry?"

"Slap you at most, how can I not protect you?" Rong Lanxue reprimanded with a bit of hatred: "You still keep saying that you will help me, and you want to abandon me as a deserter before the war .”

"Yupan won't leave Miss and run away!" Seeing that Rong Lanxue doubted her loyalty, Yupan immediately straightened her neck, said righteously, raised her leg and stepped into the courtyard gate.

Mama Yang was sitting in front of the Eight Immortals table, holding a cup of tea, but it took a long time to bring it to her mouth, and the little girl next to her didn't dare to vent her anger.Mother Yang also felt a little apprehensive, after all, she was a servant.But all along in the Zongfu, she holds great power, and has already regarded herself as the mistress of the Zongfu.Ever since Young Master Zong proposed marriage, she felt a sense of panic in her heart. Sooner or later, she would give up this right to others. However, she was unwilling to just give it up. She desperately wanted to seize more time.When Young Master Zong announced in the front hall today, her confidant had already come and told her.At this moment, she is holding on, she wants to see how this new young mistress can take away her rights.

When Yupan came in, Mama Yang was in a daze. Yupan had always been afraid of Mama Yang, thinking about her cruelty, added a little more fear.She stood there trembling, not daring to speak, her face full of tension.

Mother Yang was also in a panic, Yupan came in, stood there without speaking, with a strange expression on her face, Mother Yang forced herself to calm down, and looked at Yupan.Looking at Mama Yang's stern eyes, Yupan felt even more panicked, and couldn't say a word for a long time.

Yang's mother didn't understand Yupan's fear, she had ghosts in her heart, she couldn't hold back her anger at this moment, she couldn't help asking: "Miss Yupan, come to my place, what's the matter?"

Seeing that she spoke politely, Yupan thought in his mind that he was the servant girl next to the young lady, and his status was comparable to that of Mama Yang. They are all servants.

Thinking of this, Yupan suddenly gained confidence, she stabilized her figure, and said in a deep voice: "Mother Yang, the young lady is here to visit Mother Yang, and she is now at the gate of the courtyard."

After listening to Yupan's words, Mother Yang became a little flustered, got up quickly, and sat down again suddenly. Yupan looked at her coldly, and when she sat down again, Yupan sneered: "Mother Yang is in the mansion. After a long time, she can be regarded as the hostess of the Zongfu, Mama Yang, please sit down, wait for me to go out, and invite my young lady to come and greet Mama Yang."

After hearing Yupan's words, Yang's mother immediately changed her expression, she was about to scold, but she didn't dare to look at Yupan's disapproving expression.Standing up again, he said with a smile: "Miss Yupan said this, but it really hurt me. I am old and have been sitting for a long time. When I heard the young lady coming, I was very happy. I wanted to get up immediately to greet me, but It's because my legs are not strong, and I can't stand stably for a while, Miss Yupan misunderstood me. Zhu'er, help me up quickly, and go to welcome our young mistress in."

Yupan saw that Mama Yang suddenly became so submissive, her arrogance also increased, and she snorted coldly: "Mama Yang is getting old, go back to Master Mingzong as soon as possible, and let Mama Yang go home to enjoy the family happiness .”

Mother Yang didn't speak any more at this time, but with the support of the little girl Zhu'er, she walked slowly to the outside of the courtyard, Rong Lanxue sat on the stone bench with her head lowered, she didn't know what she was thinking, Lianxiang stood by her side with her head bowed, There were no other servants accompanying him.

Mama Yang hurried forward and said with a smile: "I don't know that the young mistress is here, but the old slave is late to welcome you. I hope the young mistress will forgive me."

Rong Lanxue didn't make a sound. Mother Yang looked at Lianxiang suspiciously, but Lianxiang shook her head, pointing at Rong Lanxue as a thoughtful gesture.

Mama Yang didn't dare to disturb her, so she had to stand there. After a while, Rong Lanxue suddenly raised her head, looked at Mama Yang, and asked in surprise, "How long has Mama Yang been here? I can think of things well." It’s really unreasonable to be in a trance, but to neglect Mama Yang.”

Mother Yang was angry, but she didn't dare to show it on her face, she just smiled and said: "When the old slave came over, he saw that the young lady was thinking about something, so she didn't dare to disturb her. It's cold on this stone bench, young lady, please move to the old slave's place." In the room. Have a cup of hot tea, these servants really should be beaten, and the young mistress is here, and there is no one to wait on her."

Rong Lanxue smiled slightly, "I've heard for a long time that Madam Yang manages the family well, but I saw it today, and it's true. Now people don't even dare to come here."

Mother Yang was panicked, she didn't know what to say, she hurriedly told Zhu'er to help Rong Lanxue, but Yu Pan had already stepped forward, and said with a sneer, "My young lady is young." Mother Yang's old face turned blue immediately, She glared at Pearl angrily.
