My younger sister insisted on marrying me and made me the Marquis' wife.

Chapter 149 The vengeful little wife

Hongye paused and said, "Then there is no need to be so anxious. Miss can check it slowly."

After saying that, he picked up a pen and paper, sat aside, and picked up an account book to look through.

Cui Ming slowly put away the needle and thread in her hands.

Outside the house, in the courtyard, Gu Jinghui, who had just stepped onto the corridor bridge, paused and hid his figure in the dark to avoid being seen by the maids standing under the corridor.

He also wanted to hear Qin Yuan's answer.

Inside the house, Qin Yuan said, "How can I not be anxious? Now all the account books are here. I will check them carefully and will definitely find the mistakes. I will not wait for others to deliver the things I want to me."

Gu Jinghui plucked a leaf and fiddled with it in his hands, his narrow eyes staring straight at the window of the main room.

The window screen reflected a swaying figure.

Hongye asked, "Could it be that even at this point, Madam Six still has the dignity to manage the household affairs?"

Qin Yuan sneered and said, "You have been following me today, haven't you also seen what the Xu family does?"

Qin Yuan said, "Big sister is right. Zhang Lunmei made such a fuss that there are less than seven or eight mothers in charge who came to you to join the group today."

I actually forgot that my wife is a vengeful person. When Gu Baozhu offended you, you would think of ways to get back at her. How could you have endured it for so long in vain?

Zhang Lunmei thought for a moment and said, "Now is an extraordinary time, so we must do extraordinary things first. He only needs to give such instructions and tell Zhang Lunmei and Butler Han so that we can also know about it. We can follow it."

Hongye said in a daze, "You have been locked out of the yard, so why don't you just give up? You should settle the score quickly."

Lord Gu thought that although his eldest wife was old and appeared to be as soft and tender as a cat on weekdays, her claws were as sharp as a cat's and would hurt people if she scratched them.

Although it is a year of little activity, I am very happy to be able to get the reward.

This is indeed a problem.

Zhang Lun said, "Are you angry that Madam Eight asked Sister Zhen to go to Yuyuantan?"

Zhang Lun stood up and walked to the table, apparently helping to look at the account books.

It's obvious that Madam Gu Ba and Sister Zhen have annoyed you a lot. Today, I learned that Sister Zhen went to Yuyuantan for your cousin, and Gu Jinghui came to make a fuss again. Did you endure it or not?

Although I knew that the Marquis was deeply in love with Zhang Lunmei, I didn't know that he was so loved.

Lord Gu angrily crumpled up the paper into a ball and threw it aside, saying impatiently: "What is he laughing at? Does he think that's a bad thing? If you are too careless, you will be caught by these civil servants. It's such a small thing..."

Gu Shiba smiled and said, "Then go ahead. Does Cuiming know how to write?"

Accountant Sun's pen shook uncontrollably and he missed a line.

When he raised his eyes, he found that Gu Shiba was still standing by the desk. Butler Cao said angrily, "Why is he still going? What is he doing standing there?"

Zhang Lun continued, "Although you sympathize with Zhen Jie'er's situation, you can still see the grain of sand in your eyes. All the troubles were caused by you seven aunts and nephews. If you seize the household affairs at that time, you will be too unfair to God."

The Xu family girl was raised by the Xu family.

Hongye clapped her hands and said, "You know that your eldest sister is the one who fights back with an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. If you offend your eldest sister, you will be courting death when the day comes."

Gu Shiba took two steps closer, looking like he was wholeheartedly helping Cuiming solve her problems, and raised his voice and asked, "Zhang Lun, have you forgotten that Madam is very incompetent and can only write poems and essays. Why did Cuiming ask Madam to help her write?"

Butler Cao looked angry and said, "Seeing the Madam is like seeing you."

Gu Shiba took a step forward with a laugh, leaning forward, and said in a flattering voice: "Madam, you follow your husband wherever he goes. By marrying into the Marquis's Mansion, are you tied to Cui Ming? If Madam knew about this, which concerns the future of the Marquis's Mansion, how could she stand idly by? Cui Ming clearly knows that Madam's heart is all about Cui Ming..."

After hearing that, Gu Shiba immediately said, "Yes."

Then the sound of abacus clacking could be heard.

Finally, I put down the pen, sighed, and showed a bit of inexplicable helplessness under my indifferent face.

Housekeeper Cao stood there blankly for a while, then quickly walked out of Wutong Garden, walked back to the inner courtyard, called Gu Shiba over, and said, "Hurry up and count the number of people in the mansion, and assign those who can be used to guard the mansion. Tomorrow you will submit a petition to request to be sealed off from the mansion, and daily purchases will continue as usual, and outsiders will be allowed in and out. Give a copy to Madam before making the bad book, and let you be in charge of the mansion. If you don't act according to the rules, you will be at Madam's disposal."

Gu Shiba also smiled happily.

Hongye seemed to be stumped, and the room was silent.

The Xu family members smiled and looked over. Seeing that Accountant Sun was in a trance, they coughed heavily and shouted, "Accountant Sun, hurry up. The eighteen brothers are busy with trivial matters. Don't delay him."

The Marquis said, "Yes, yes."

Zhang Lunmei asked: "What did Eighteen do with the reward money?"

Accountant Sun reluctantly put his mind to it and started keeping accounts for Gu Shiba.

Qin Yuan couldn't help laughing, and then Hongye begged for mercy, "Big sister, big sister, I was wrong. Did I say something bad again?"

Zhang Lunmei was stunned.

That sentence immediately made Cao's face brighten. He touched the corner of his lips and smiled, "Yes, he is right. When you are done, go to the account office and collect the reward of 70 taels of silver."

The Marquis said, "Not at all."

Gu Shiba's face was almost broken with laughter. He walked to the two housekeepers, passed on the order of housekeeper Cao, and then said to accountant Sun: "Accountant Sun, Zhang Lun said that you have done a good job, so he asked you to come and claim the 70 taels of silver. He will record it in the account and give you a silver note."

Gu Shiba secretly guessed that during the time he was there, the relationship between Butler Cao and his wife had taken a step back.

Lord Gu threw the crushed branches and leaves in his hands to the ground, smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Hongye asked, “Big sister, is it because of Gu Jinghui’s disturbance today?”

Butler Cao stared with a look of impatience: "..."

Gu Shibazhi glanced at Zhang Lunmei's expression and stammered, "Does the inner courtyard also come under Madam's management?"

Why can't the Sixth Lady do what the Xu family can do?

Gu Shiba was shocked and asked, "Does that mean that all the power of the entire mansion will be handed over to Madam?"

Gu Shibahao knew this and said, "Of course I bought the pepper with my wife's share. Those are your wife's money."

After giving the order, Butler Cao didn't care about the turmoil in Gu Shiba's heart. He unfolded the piece of paper and seemed to want to write something, but when he picked up the pen, he put it down again.

Just as Gu Jinghui was about to come out of the dark, he heard Qin Yuan say again: "I wanted to take it slow, let mother see my ability first, and then let her hand over the household affairs to me slowly. But now I have changed my mind, I can't wait any longer. This time the smallpox incident in the mansion is my chance. Once her fault is found out, no matter who comes to make trouble or who pleads for her, the household affairs will definitely be in your hands."
