Once Xie Jingxi's people left, the daily work of the Marquis Mansion was immediately in a state of chaos.
The people in the accounts room were people that Xie Jingxi had borrowed from Bai Cao. These accounts rooms were all wealthy and difficult to find experts outside, entering the Marquis Mansion to manage these small accounts was already a waste of their resources, and all they cared about was Gu Yun and Xie Jingxi's face. He was no longer the butler, so how could he possibly stay in the Marquis Mansion to send people away for no reason?
In the past, Accountant Li had trained a few trusted aides who were changed by him as referees, which meant that right now, there was no one left in the accounts room of Marquis Mansion. Aunt Fang wanted to take the opportunity to insert her trusted aides in and take over some family matters, but she could not enter this kind of place as there was no one in the hands of Lady Zeng.
”Boss' daughter-in-law let go of her family's matter. It's also reasonable that she took her away. Otherwise, it wouldn't be good for her to stay with us and let us order her around, so there's no need to feel awkward.”
Lady Zeng was very satisfied with Xie Jingxi's attitude, and didn't care too much about her people. It wasn't as if she had never taken care of her family, because the few stewards in charge of matters in the Marquis Mansion were all her people. The few in Xie Jingxi's hands had only been for a few days, so wasn't there something else that mattered?
A year ago, the Eldest Young Mistress hadn't been worth much, but now, she was completely different. What she did seemed like a trivial matter, but once a person was taken care of by the Eldest Young Mistress, most of them would be taken care of by the Eldest Young Mistress. Once the majority of the people were removed, the Eldest Young Mistress wouldn't be able to take care of them, not to mention that the Eldest Young Mistress was loyal to the Eldest Young Mistress, so she wouldn't be too happy about this meeting.
However, there were some things that she would never say. She had kept the people of the Grand Mistress, but without her, there was nothing she could do, and now, what she could rely on was the Lady Zeng, Madam, when the people of Grand Mistress leave, the house is indeed lacking in people, but I think that my mother still has some people, and it will be a bit hard on her for now, so when the matters are too clear, then it will be fine. Furthermore, the wet nurse in front of me can also help out.
The Lady Zeng frowned, ”That is impossible, the people outside are worried, Marquis will not agree, let's not talk about this for now, I will discuss it with Marquis first.”
Leaving the Lady Zeng to speak alone with the Senior Servant Liu, the Lady Zeng asked: ”Did the manager lady say anything?” She was still brooding over the incident with the manager lady s last time, afraid that they had some sort of thought that they shouldn't have.
After all, this time the Grand Mistress is pregnant, so no one can do anything about it. ”
Lady Zeng looked at her, ”If there's anything you need to help them hide, as long as they do it well, I won't treat them unfairly. If they have any other thoughts, just come and tell me, it's my idea.”
”I know, ma'am.”
When Lady Zeng was worrying about the accounts room, Second Branch Young Madam Zou came. When she came, she even brought a young lady who looked unfamiliar. Lady Zeng looked at her for a long time but still could not recognize who she was, ”Which family's young lady is she from, she looks like Zhou Zheng.”
The girl looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old. She was slender, tall, slender, and had very deep and delicate features. She even had an exotic appearance.
Lady Zou pulled her over to pay her respects, ”You haven't seen Marquis' Wife yet.”
The young lady blended in with the Lady Zeng and mischievously called out to him, ”Greetings Madam. I am Zou Ling. Madam can just call me Ling'er.”
Lady Zou laughed and said, ”You must be joking, Aunt. It's my sister from home, she only came a few days ago.”
Lady Zeng sized her up a few more times, and the more she looked, the happier she got, ”Ling'er, you seem to be a good match for this name, I really don't look like you at all.”
This was the son of Lady Zou's mother and stepfather, who was also her half-sister. A few days ago, he came to the capital to seek help from the Lady Zou.
”He really doesn't look like one, but he's much better than me. He looks like a father a bit more, but his temper is a bit too wild. He's the child of a family member.”
”It won't obstruct me.” The Lady Zeng pulled Zou Ling's hand and sat down in front of him, ”This little lady needs some spirit energy to please her. What's so interesting about keeping quiet, since I've come to the capital, I might as well come to my aunt's place. I don't have many people here, but it doesn't matter if I cause a ruckus for her.”
”That's good. Otherwise, my sister would always despise me for talking too much. I'd rather come over and talk to my aunt.” Zou Ling smiled and her dimples were very cute, after a few words, the Lady Zeng could not hide her smile and pulled her hand.
Lady Zou said from the side: ”I heard that the Grand Mistress is very happy, I was planning to go over to take a look. This time, adding a grandson to the family would make it much more lively.”
The Lady Zeng smiled as she paused for a moment, ”The atmosphere is very lively, but once she gets pregnant, no one will be able to control the mess in the residence. I was just thinking of requesting for your help in the next few days, but I'm afraid you don't have the time.”
She only got pregnant after entering the door for more than a year, so she must be very careful. Furthermore, your mother-in-law is a level away, so you should be more considerate towards her. As long as you have something on your mind, just call me over.
