Autumn Dew Garden.
After Xie Jingyi returned, she smashed everything in the house that she could.
Still not satisfied, he beat the maidservant beside him before he could finally calm down.
What gives Xie Jingrun the right to be so arrogant?
Thinking of what Xie Jingrun had said, Xie Jingyi couldn't help but scream.
After yelling, she tearfully cried out in grievance.
Why did Xie Jingrun bully her like that?
The servants dared not even breathe loudly.
When the old Marquis was alive, he spoiled the third young lady very much, which led to her beating and scolding the servants whenever she was unhappy. The servants suffered greatly because of this and had nowhere to complain.
Seeing her being suppressed by the Marquis and unable to move, he didn't say anything, but he felt a secret pleasure in his heart.
In their eyes, the Third Miss was like an autumn tiger, only able to rage for a while. Given the Marquis's temperament, the Third Miss's good days were coming to an end.
Just then, Xie Jingyi's personal maid, Adan, came in and hurriedly reported, "Miss, the Marquis has handed over the power of managing the household to the Madam."
When she said the word "Madam," she paused slightly, her tone somewhat strange.
"What?" Xie Jingyi's expression changed drastically upon hearing this.
“It’s true. The whole household has heard about it. It was the Marquis who personally gave the order,” Adan said, frowning.
"What does Xie Jingrun mean? Has he gone mad?" Xie Jingyi's chest heaved with anger.
Adan hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
She was aware of the feud between Miss and Rong Qingqing.
Now that the Marquis has put Rong Qingqing in charge of the household, won't the young lady have to rely on her for a living from now on?
If Adan could think of it, Xie Jingyi naturally thought of it too.
She couldn't sit still any longer, so she led her men and stormed into Qinfang Garden.
Rong Qingqing was looking at the account books and discovered that there were indeed serious problems with the expenditures of the Marquis's residence.
Originally, the population of the Marquis's mansion was not complicated. Apart from the monthly salaries of the servants, there were only the daily expenses of the masters.
However, the amount of money that Xie Jingxuan and Xie Jingyi, the brother and sister, took from the accounting office each month was astonishing, far exceeding their predetermined monthly allowance.
Xie Jingyi's monthly expenses on cosmetics alone would be enough for an ordinary family to live on for several years. No wonder she is so generous. As a result, Rong Yiyi often gets close to her and seems to have benefited a lot from her.
Xie Jingxuan's monthly expenses on drinking and womanizing were also staggering.
The two are truly siblings; they are practically identical when it comes to spending money recklessly.
No wonder Xie Jingrun wanted to halve their monthly pay; it seems he already knew.
But he himself doesn't play the villain; he insists on making her do it, clearly using her as a pawn.
For him, it was just a matter of saying a few words, but he insisted on putting her on the hot seat.
She cursed Xie Jingrun in her mind.
Just then, a commotion arose at the door.
"Where is Rong Qingqing? Tell her to come out and see me right now."
"Third Miss, Madam is busy, you..." Xiao Tao said hesitantly.
"Get out of the way!" Xie Jingyi shouted angrily, shoving Xiao Tao aside and walking into the house. "Rong Qingqing, you get out here right now!"
Rong Qingqing frowned, thinking to herself, "Here comes the troublemaker."
Why did she have to come at this particular time, and in such a menacing manner? Needless to say, it's all about her managing the accounts.
She picked up the account book and went out, blocking Xie Jingyi, who was trying to barge into the room, at the door. "Third Miss, I am your mother, after all. Your disrespectful and loud behavior will damage your reputation if word gets out."
Xie Jingyi sneered, "Rong Qingqing, stop trying to make yourself look good. Did you use some kind of seductive trick on Xie Jingrun?"
Rong Qingqing's eyes sharpened. "Third Miss, there are gods watching over you. Be careful not to be struck by lightning for spreading such gossip!"
