Su Qing hadn't expected Yun Qianmeng to speak so suddenly, and her steps were slightly disrupted. Then she calmed herself down, put on her composure, turned around with a polite smile, and said gently, "What's the matter, young lady?"

At this time, Su Qing had already seen Yun Qianmeng's ability to find fault with everything, so he paid more attention to etiquette and did not let Yun Qianmeng find any fault!

Yun Qianmeng saw her suppressing her anger while pretending to smile. She smiled calmly and said, "It seems that Aunt Su and Sister Ruoxue are still under house arrest. Why did you come out without permission?"

After finishing speaking, Yun Qianmeng stood still without any aggressiveness, but turned her eyes to Yun Xuanzhi with doubt, as if puzzled!

Hearing Yun Qianmeng's deliberate reminder in a gentle voice, Yun Ruoxue's face suddenly flushed red. Regardless of Su Qing's efforts to stop her, she glared at Yun Qianmeng with a sinister look and roared uncontrollably, "Yun Qianmeng, you..."

"Ruoxue, how dare you!" Yun Xuanzhi frowned instantly when he saw a sarcastic smile slowly rising up on the corner of Yun Qianmeng's mouth. He immediately shouted at Yun Ruoxue, scaring all the servants in the reception hall to lower their heads!

Su Qing secretly thought that something was wrong, especially when she noticed the contempt in Yun Qianmeng's eyes. She secretly stretched out her right foot and kicked Yun Ruoxue's calf in front of her fiercely...

"Ruoxue, how can you talk like that? What the eldest lady said is just the truth. Why are you angry? Don't admit your mistake, or you will make things difficult for your father!" After saying this, Su Qing looked at Yun Xuanzhi with a smile on her face and said very gently, "Master, Ruoxue is still young. Besides, they are sisters who are usually close to each other. Sometimes they are disrespectful. You can't treat her like a child!"

This was said beautifully, not only pointing out that Yun Qianmeng's disappearance for this reason put Yun Xuanzhi in a dilemma, but also pointing out that Yun Ruoxue's behavior was completely unintentional!

Yun Ruoxue was suddenly kicked hard by her mother, and the pain in her calf immediately knocked her senses back. Especially when she saw Yun Xuanzhi glaring at her with anger, her heart tightened and she immediately restrained her anger. She lowered her brows and said softly, "My daughter got carried away for a moment. Please don't take it to heart, Daddy and Big Sister!"

Yun Qianmeng watched the mother and daughter acting out with cold eyes, and she especially noticed that although Yun Ruoxue apologized, her hands folded at her waist were twisting the silk handkerchief in her hands. She immediately understood what was going on, and the smile on her lips became even wider!

Seeing his beloved little daughter admit her mistake, Yun Xuanzhi softened his tone. Seeing Yun Qianmeng standing in the hall with a calm expression, he pretended to say, "Pay attention to etiquette in the future. Don't show your carefree behavior in the backyard on important occasions!"

As soon as these words came out, Yun Ruoxue's eyes, which had been suppressing her anger, suddenly ignited with rage, and her eyes full of unwillingness were directed at the always calm Yun Qianmeng!

Yun Qianmeng took on her anger and followed up on Yun Xuanzhi's words, "Father is right! However, Aunt Su and Ruoxue, as half-masters of the Prime Minister's Residence, fail to set a good example. If everyone turns a deaf ear to Father's words, wouldn't the Prime Minister's Residence be in chaos?"

How could Yun Qianmeng not understand the meaning behind Yun Xuan's words?

On the surface, he was blaming Yun Ruoxue, but in reality, he was favoring his second daughter! He also indirectly acknowledged what Su Qing said!

Yun Xuanzhi did not expect that his eldest daughter would insist on holding on, especially when there were so many servants in the hall. If everyone followed suit, it would be difficult to manage the prime minister's residence in the future, and his own prestige would also be affected!

Thinking of this, Yun Xuanzhi actually blamed Su Qing and Yun Ruoxue in his heart. They knew that Yun Qianmeng was different from before, but they still caused trouble for him. Now with so many eyes watching, even if he wanted to help them, it would be impossible!

After bowing his head and pondering for a moment, Yun Xuanzhi spoke in a deep voice under Yun Qianmeng's faint smile, "Madam Su is confined to her room for half a month, and Yun Ruoxue is confined to her room for twenty days!"

Hearing this, Su Qing and Yun Ruoxue looked up at the same time. However, Yun Xuanzhi's expression was not very good at this time, and there was more resentment in his eyes, which made Su Qing understand immediately that Yun Qianmeng was trying to sow discord between her and Yun Xuanzhi!

Yun Ruoxue, who was standing next to her, had forgotten the lesson she had just learned. She was about to step forward to confront Yun Qianmeng, but was quickly stopped by Su Qing. Su Qing's respectful voice rang out in the living room. "Master, you are right. It was this servant who was inconsiderate. I will pay more attention next time!"

After he finished speaking, he was about to pull the unwilling Yun Ruoxue away, but Yun Qianmeng still had something to say. She walked to Su Qing's side with some embarrassment, as if she couldn't bear it and said, "Father, the mansion has been in such chaos during the few days that Concubine Su has been under house arrest. How about you choose another steward to temporarily replace Concubine Su!"

After hearing Yun Qianmeng finally reveal her purpose, Su Qing paused as she left, and immediately turned around with a disapproving expression on her face. "What are you talking about, Miss! Managing the Prime Minister's Residence is my job! Besides, there's no one in this residence who can take on this role! We can't let Miss do it for us. After all, she's going to get married!"

The implication is that Yun Qianmeng is still a member of her husband's family, and it is inappropriate to let an outsider manage the internal affairs of her mother's family!

Yun Xuanzhi obviously heard the hidden meaning, and there was a hint of deep thought and sharpness in his eyes when he looked at Yun Qianmeng!

However, Yun Qianmeng smiled, pointed at Concubine Liu beside her, and said slowly, "Father, you forgot that there is Concubine Liu in the mansion! Concubine Liu is from the Prime Minister's Mansion and is also half the master of this mansion. Her status and position are equal to Concubine Su. I believe she will be able to do the job! My daughter has been tired of eating meals on the table for a while. How can father bear to let her suffer because there is no one in charge in the mansion?"

As she spoke, Yun Qianmeng's fingers had already changed direction. Everyone's eyes followed her hand to the dining table. They saw that there were only a few bowls and plates on the huge dining table. I'm afraid that the lowest-ranking servants in the Prime Minister's Mansion would eat more than this!

Seeing Yun Qianmeng being so aggressive, Su Qing couldn't help but show a cruel look in his eyes, and instantly gave Butler Zhao a look...

Housekeeper Zhao was already filled with rage at being suppressed by Yun Qianmeng. Upon hearing Su Qing's reminder, he immediately panicked and said, "Master, the kitchen steward must have been too busy and made a mistake in the meal! The eldest lady's food must still be in the kitchen. I will have someone tie up that lazy steward and make an apology to the young lady!"

Yun Qianmeng stared at the interaction between the two and said coldly, "Butler Zhao, you are a criminal. Do you think your words will convince my father? Then let me ask you, when will the monthly salary be paid out?"

Su Qing had already discussed this matter with Butler Zhao. When he heard Yun Qianmeng's question, Butler Zhao felt relieved and immediately told her the countermeasures he had thought of in advance, "My dear Miss, it's the third day of every month! However, this month, the government is short of money, so we have been delayed for a few days!"

After hearing his explanation, Yun Qianmeng immediately shouted, "Butler Zhao, kneel down! Since the mansion's finances are in trouble, why didn't you tell father as soon as possible? Tell me, what use is there for a servant like you who deceives his superiors and hides the truth from his subordinates? Tell me, did you embezzle the mansion's funds?"

Such a huge hat was put on him, and Butler Zhao knelt down with a trembling voice, and kowtowed to Yun Xuanzhi repeatedly. "Master, please be clear. I would never dare to use the money in the mansion for personal use!"

As for Su Qing, he was also stunned by Yun Qianmeng's quick reaction and ability to frame someone. He could only stand there with a pale face...

Yun Xuanzhi's face was already livid at this point. Seeing the expressions of Housekeeper Zhao and Su Qing, he had actually somewhat believed Yun Qianmeng's words in his heart. He made a disappointing decision, "Qing'er, you should reflect on your mistakes in your room for the next few days. Madam Liu will take care of other matters for the time being!"

Hearing this, Su Qing stumbled and almost fell to the ground...
