Chapter 561
Shuangyue was used to the moody Xiao Yinxiu who had lost her job. She lowered her head and let Xiao Yinxiu scold her for a long time. Finally, she said in a cold voice, "When she enters the family in the future, she will be in trouble!"
After saying that, he looked at Shuangyue and asked, "You went to Shaohua Garden, what is the Song family doing?"
Shuang Yue didn't dare to mention anything else, and whispered, "I'm fanning the three brothers."
……
Xiao Yinxiu frowned, a look of disgust on his face, meaning, is this what I want to hear?
"Is there anything unusual in her room?" After all, they had a quarrel in the morning, and she was afraid that she was crying under the quilt. After listening to the lady's guess, Shuangyue slowly shook her head, "I dare not look too much, I didn't see whether the fourth young lady was sad. But there are many people in her room, so I dare not stay for long."
"Which people?"
Shuangyue thought about it, not knowing whether to mention the encounter with Xiao Jin.
If she told him, Xiao Yinxiu would probably smash cups and chairs again. Several things in this room have been moved, and now she is not in charge. If she wants to use things in the warehouse, she must ask the eldest young lady for permission.
Shuangyue used to be used to being the one being asked for favors, but now that the situation has been reversed, she doesn't like to be servile.
What if you don’t say it?
The Xiao family’s people will naturally come to the Crown Prince’s wife, and then the truth will not be hidden.
It was the first time she was so conflicted, but in the end she swallowed it down and only mentioned her cousins Zhang Fanghui, Xu Lingqiao and Pei Shuyu.
"Hmph! Just go to that room one by one. Come to my place and leave without even finishing a cup of tea..." Xiao Yinxiu had an unhappy look on his face. He let Shuangyue serve him and took a break.
At noon, Xiao Yinxiu took a nap, dressed up, and went to Aunt Qiao next door to check on the children. Seeing that they were all fine, she felt relieved.
"This little girl is too delicate. I just hope that nothing will happen to her when her father comes back." After that, she instructed Aunt Chu, "Take good care of her during the confinement period. The prince is very important to Aunt Qiao's baby. You should pay attention to both the big and small ones. When the prince comes back in the future, we will be in peace."
Otherwise, if the premature baby died, with Pei Chen's temper, he might have blamed her.
Just as she returned to the house, someone outside asked to see her. Shuangyue went out and saw Xiao Jin and Xiao Bei. She went to the guest room to greet them, and then she came to Xiao Yinxiu and reported, "The person from the Xiao family seems to be the chief steward Jin."
Xiao Yinxiu stood up, looking puzzled, "Didn't you send something at the end of July? Why are you sending it again today? It's not even Mid-Autumn Festival yet."
"I don't know either. The Fourth Young Master of the North is with him."
Xiao Yinxiu entered the guest room, greeted Xiao Jin, and asked about the doubts in her heart. Xiao Jin also told the truth, "Madam, you don't know. The clan leader and Wu Lang sent their subordinates to deliver the account book to the mansion. Please ask the fourth young lady's wife to help check it. This matter is important, please keep it secret."
"Song's accounts? Father is really confused. How can she, a woman, do things that only husbands can do?"
What's more, this belongs to the Xiao family.
Xiao Jin explained it clearly in a few words, and Xiao Bei also conveyed the meaning of his uncle and father, "Eldest sister, just pretend you don't know. This matter was asked by Cang Ge'er. The matter is urgent and the burden is heavy. I hope you can be more considerate of your fourth brother and sister-in-law."
Before Xiao Yinxiu could utter any words of disdain towards Song Guanzhou, he was stopped by Xiao Jin and Xiao Bei.
There was disgust in her eyes, "The Xiao family is announcing this everywhere. Is there no one available?" She actually thought of looking for Song Guanzhou. If this woman was really capable, why didn't she take over the family business?
Xiao Jin stood up with a smile on his face, "You don't know, auntie, these accounts involve too many things, and the Xiao family can't check them. Maybe..., they can't check them thoroughly. Wu Lang has the will and ability, but the Xiao family has so many businesses, he can't give up everything just to check the accounts."
Also, before leaving, Xiao Cang said to him, "Second Uncle Jin, Guan Zhou has his own method, which may be deeper and better than mine."
I conveyed this to Xiao Yinxiu in the hope that she would understand, but Xiao Yinxiu still ignored me and said, "After all, the things rotten in the house are mine, but I can't expose the scars to outsiders. As a woman, I really don't understand the reason."
Xiao Bei thought to himself, his elder sister’s brain really isn’t very useful.
"Don't worry, elder sister. It's just a matter between my uncle, father and Cang'er. By the way, I heard that my elder sister has a little girl. This is a happy event, but when will she have the confinement banquet?"
This custom exists around the capital city of Dalong.
Whenever a baby is born in a family, a banquet will be held during the confinement period. However, this banquet is very special as the female relatives will bring sugar, eggs, ginseng and glue to congratulate the baby.
The four things sent are essential, all of which are for women in confinement to replenish their bodies. In addition, gold and silver lockets are also brought for newborns, which are as auspicious as jade.
Xiao Bei changed the subject, which made Xiao Yinxiu even more unhappy.
"The prince is not here, and Concubine Qiao gave birth to a little girl. She looks weak. Whether to set up the confinement banquet will have to wait until the prince returns to discuss it."
"Eldest sister, you should take good care of yourself and give the prince a son or daughter in the future, so that you will have no regrets in this life."
Xiao Yinxiu said coldly, "Forget it. Why bother talking about the troubles in this room? Second uncle, come here. I will tell my eldest sister-in-law later. There is no need to send someone to deliver the Mid-Autumn Festival gifts to our house. Please take them back."
Xiao Jin stood up and agreed to everything.
After the two left the main room, Xiao Yinxiu became even more furious. Firstly, she was angry that the Xiao family treated Song Guanzhou so well. Secondly, she was angry that her yard was so chaotic.
Aunt Qiao gave birth to a daughter, and soon, she will bring in a daughter named Gao.
Pei Chen had all the maids with a bit of good looks in this room seduced by him. A maid like Shuangyue was spared because of her plain appearance. But even so, Pei Chen still felt it was not enough.
Xiao Yinxiu felt more and more distressed, and she couldn't even eat at night. The things that were pent up in her heart made her feel uneasy. After she came back from talking to Qi Yueniang about the festival gifts, she sat quietly in the guest room for a long time without saying a word.
It was not until late at night that Shuangyue came in several times to urge her to rest. She finally came to her senses and called Shuangyue to her side and whispered, "Come with me!"
"Ma'am, where are we going?"
It was the middle of the night - Xiao Yinxiu said nothing, but only told her to light the lamp, and sent a little maid to go to Aunt Qiao's room to call Aunt Chu.
The master and his two servants followed the light of a dim lamp and walked towards the small Buddhist courtyard.
Halfway through the journey, Shuangyue realized something was wrong, so she whispered to Xiao Yinxiu, "Madam, let's not go. The back door of the small Buddhist courtyard is blocked, and we can only enter through the front door, but the guards are all the people who serve the master. If the old woman is alarmed and reports to the master, I'm afraid that Madam will be guilty of something new in front of the master."
"Now, my household has been taken away, my family is hopeless, and the prince is unreliable. What else can I do? Besides my aunt, who else can I rely on?"
