"But we can't leave Wan'er to suffer in the Tai family. What if Gu Huai's plan fails and he comes up with another one?" At this moment, Lou was afraid that when the time comes, what they would bring back would be Tai Jingwan's corpse.
"I will find a way to prevent Gu Huaizhi from taking care of family affairs. As for the flood in Jiangnan, I can add Gu Huaizhi's name to the list. He may not be able to come back for three to five months." Tai Hesong thought for a while and said.
"Master, is this possible? A mere fourth-rank ceremonial official going to control the flood?" Lou didn't believe that Gu Huaizhi had the ability to do so.
"I'll let him beg to go." Tai Hesong had plenty of ways to deal with Gu Huaizhi.
"Master, I still feel a little uneasy. In theory, Wan'er has Zhenzhu and a few others by her side, but these children are just ordinary maids in the mansion. If Wan'er encounters danger again, they will not be able to protect her at all." Thinking of this, Lou felt a little worried.
"Madam, what you said makes sense. Go back and find two women who know kung fu and send them to Wan'er." Tai Hesong said after thinking for a while.
"Oh, what if the Gu family is so cruel that they poison Wan'er?" Lou thought to herself, should she find someone who knows medicine for Tai Jingwan?

"Miss, why don't you take over the reins of the household today?" Nanny Liu looked at Jiang Jinyue in confusion and asked.
"Madam Liu, what do you think of the Gu family?" Jiang Jinyue did not directly ask why, but instead looked at Madam Liu and asked.
...
...
"Although it is a marquis's mansion, I feel that it is inferior to our Jiang family in every way." Nanny Liu thought for a moment and said in a low voice.
"Yes, since the Xuanping Marquis' Mansion is so poor, why should I help alleviate the poverty?" Jiang Jinyue thought, she didn't want to be in charge of that Gu family.
"Miss, you are marrying into the Gu family after all. Shouldn't you put your husband first in everything?" Nanny Liu said in confusion.
After all, in Liu Ma's mind, her husband is her God.
After all, a woman's husband is her future support.
But my young lady's behavior obviously displeases my mother-in-law. In this case, will the new son-in-law also look down on my young lady?
"Mammy, do you think someone like Gu Huaizhi can be my backer?" Jiang Jinyue asked Mammy Liu with amusement.
Jiang Jinyue also knew that Nanny Liu was truly doing this for her own good, but Nanny Liu had grown up immersed in feudalism, and her temper could not be corrected in a short period of time.
However, Nanny Liu was really good to her.
"Hey, you know, since the son-in-law has his heart set on Tai, why did he let you, my young lady, marry here and suffer this injustice?" Nanny Liu thought, her young lady has been married for a few days, but the son-in-law has not yet consummated the marriage with her young lady.
Thinking of this, Matron Liu looked at Jiang Jinyue with pity again.
"Mammy, maybe Gu Huaizhi doesn't like Sister Tai." Jiang Jinyue said with a smile. She didn't know where her mammy saw that Gu Huaizhi liked Tai Jingwan.
You didn't show any affection for Tai Jingwan, did you?
"Don't like it? But it doesn't look like that to me, old servant," said Matron Liu, frowning.

"Miss, why do you insist on handing over the power of the household today?" Although Nanny Qiao also looked down on the power of the household, but then again, it was a face-saving thing to tell others that her young lady was in charge of the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion.
"Mammy, the reason why the Gu family has been able to live so happily over the years is because of the subsidies from the Tai family. Now, without the Tai family, the income from the Gu family's farms and shops can't support the Gu family's expenses at all." Tai Jingwan was actually a little looking forward to it.
What will happen when Gu Nianshu finds out that the family she runs is not as prosperous as she imagined?
What she actually wanted to know more was what Gu Nianshu would do after she found out that the Gu family actually had no money.
"It's really unfair for Miss to stay in such a Gu family." Aunt Qiao said with a sigh.
Naturally, she also noticed the subsidies that the Tai family had provided to their master in recent years.
"Miss, you see, you just handed over the power of the household, and those people in the kitchen start to take advantage of you." Amber walked in with some porridge and side dishes and said.
"Amber, what is this?" Even the knowledgeable Madam Qiao frowned when she saw the simple meal.
A dignified marquisate would let its own young lady eat this?
The Marquis' Mansion can no longer afford to support the young lady?
"Miss, the kitchen staff said that this is your meal today. It's really too much." Amber looked at the porridge that couldn't be thinner and the pitiful amount of pickles, feeling disgusted.
The dogs in the Tai family eat better than this.
Besides, if the master can only eat such meals, wouldn't the servants have to starve every day?
"Amber, could it be that you said something you shouldn't have said, and the people in the kitchen are serving different dishes to suit your situation?" Aunt Qiao asked doubtfully as she looked at the meal.
"Madam Qiao, you can't accuse me like this. I didn't say anything harsh. Besides, I just saw that it's not just you, young lady, who has the same standard. The one next door, and I also saw Aunt Qiu and Aunt Luo, they are all the same." Amber said quickly.
"Now, there will be a good show to watch." Tai Jingwan knew very well the personalities of the two old concubines in this mansion.
Now, on the first day that the young lady took charge of the household, she started by withholding their meals, and I’m afraid the situation won’t stop there.
Otherwise, they would not have stayed in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion for so many years and raised their own children.
"Miss, do you think the two concubines will come to our house?" Amber asked excitedly when she heard this.
Gu Nianshu actually withheld her young lady's meals, and Amber wished she had a bad life.
"That's hard to say. Where is the Third Miss?" Tai Jingwan tapped the table lightly. For some reason, she felt that with Gu Nianshu's personality, it was impossible for her to wait so obediently in the mansion.
Based on her understanding of Gu Nianshu, at this moment, Gu Nianshu is either going to find someone to show off that she is in charge of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion.
Or just go out and buy what she wants.
"Miss, I saw that the third lady went out." Amber said quickly.
But she didn't know where Gu Nianshu had gone.
"Zhenzhu, how much silver was left in the account?" Tai Jingwan was also wondering how much silver Gu Nianshu had taken out.
"Miss, how much silver can the Gu family's accounting office have? When you asked me to sort out the bills yesterday, I saw that there were only two hundred taels of silver. However, I heard that the Marquis seemed to have withdrawn one thousand taels of silver from the account a few days ago." Zhenzhu thought for a while and said.
Tai Jingwan hadn't figured out where the money had gone yet, but she saw Shanhu walk in with a bad look on her face.
