Gu Heng raised his hand and closed his chin, he then took the handkerchief and wiped off his saliva, ”Don't think that you can use this grandpa's thoughts to threaten me. I can tell you this very clearly, I believe that I would dare to do so before anyone, so stop thinking about it.”
Gu Heng threw the handkerchief onto her face, ”Go and clean yourself up, you will serve me tonight.”
Aunt Fang looked at him in disbelief, and in the end, swallowed all of the humiliation that came out of his mouth with great difficulty.
The next morning, Fang Dai came over to ask Xie Jingxi, ”Madam, the kitchen manager has brought the dishes for you to take a look.”
”Show me? Isn't this matter being questioned by the Aunt Fang? ”
Uh, I said this morning that Aunt Fang said it herself. She said that since Madam is going back to the manor, the birthday feast should be done by you.
Xie Jingxi put down the hairpin in her hand, turned around and looked at Fang Dai, ”Aunt Fang is doing so well, how can I possibly have things to do? Can it be that I have to hold her in my arms everyday in order to be willing to lower her?”
”I think it's probably because Second Young Master shamed her yesterday, so she couldn't come down, but she heard that Second Young Master went to her house yesterday, so she might have gained some face, and wanted to make up for it with a little face.”
”Did Mother say anything?”
”I didn't say anything.”
”Go and give the list to Aunt Fang yourself. Tell her that I've been sick from the summer and that I've asked her to help me for a few days. If there's anything that I can help with, feel free to do so.”
When she went to the Lady Zeng Courtyard, Lady Zeng had already finished her breakfast. Seeing that Aunt Fang's movements were a bit unnatural, she knew that Gu Heng must have stayed in her room last night, and her face revealed a happy look, ”If you wake up late, then you don't have to come over. You also have to work hard recently, and need to pay more attention to your body.”
”I'm fine, ma'am.”
The moment she opened her mouth, Lady Zeng could hear that something was wrong. Looking at her red and swollen face, she was shocked, ”What happened to your face?”
Aunt Fang stammered, ”N-nothing, I fell down yesterday.”
”Falling?” Lady Zeng thought back to yesterday's incident, ”I actually forgot, don't take it to heart. Heng'er also didn't do it on purpose, you can only blame me for forgetting to remind you that Eldest Miss had only been there for a short while. His heart is still stuck at the threshold, he's usually the kindest, so don't scare you.”
The Aunt Fang lowered her head, ”I understand Madam. I won't take it to heart.
Seeing that she was obedient and sensible, Lady Zeng was also satisfied in her heart, ”You should hurry up. Take advantage of the moment when you just entered the door and have your first child. You will definitely have good days ahead of you.”
The Aunt Fang nodded her head bashfully, ”Since Grand Mistress has returned for the birthday banquet, I will leave it to her. However, Grand Mistress said that she was not feeling well these few days, and still called me to take responsibility, I have just angered everyone, and my heart is still very nervous. I'm afraid that I might not be able to do it well, Madam, please look …”
”Since you've already started, there's no reason for you to leave her alone. If you have anything you don't understand, you can ask her. Once you've experienced it, you can just do it a few times.”
”Since Madame believes me, I have no choice but to go through with it. However, there is one thing I wish to ask you, because I do not know what the statute of the previous year is, and I am not sure if you will agree to the assignment of books from the account office.”
”That's not difficult, just tell Fang Dai and the account room, tell them that it's something I want to see, and then send it back after that, it'll be fine.”
Aunt Fang's face revealed joy, she laughed with great difficulty, ”Thank you Madam for your love.”
The words that the mistress asked Aunt Fang to transfer the account books entered Xie Jingxi's ears in the blink of an eye. The question of whether Li Zhangfang was able to avoid the fate of being looked at was a blessing or a curse, since the Aunt Fang had her wife's backing, so it was useless speaking to the Grand Mistress.
However, the matter of the two Medicine Hall branches under the name of Marquis Mansion became more and more intense. It was said that the medicine being sold inside was tainted with poison, and in the end, a person died, but some people died because of it. This was why this matter could not be suppressed, and became a matter that could not be taken.
