Chapter 7 Passed smoothly
In her previous life, Liang Shanyu was also sent by the old lady. She thought she was being respectful and filial, but she was punished by being forced to kneel in the ancestral hall for a full half month!
Liang Shanyu glanced at Liang Weiyuan with a gloating look.
With her arrogant personality, if she said something wrong, she would probably have to kneel for more than half a month!
"Madam, wait a moment. I'll go see the old lady after I change my clothes."
Liang Weiyuan naturally knew that this old lady was not someone easy to serve. After returning to the courtyard to change clothes, Liang Weiyuan first asked Meishu to go back to the Liang family to deliver a message.
Years ago, my grandfather was generous and had done a favor to a world-famous doctor. If this famous doctor could be invited, maybe Huo Jinjian would wake up sooner?
He was led into the old lady's yard by the old nanny.
The whole courtyard was filled with the smell of Buddhist incense and the atmosphere was particularly depressing as there were few servants in the courtyard.
Liang Weiyuan knelt on the cushion outside the screen and bowed to the old lady who was concentrating on worshiping Buddha inside.
"Granddaughter-in-law Liang Weiyuan greets the old lady."
Liang Weiyuan kowtowed deeply, but after waiting for a long time, there was only the sound of the Buddhist beads turning. It was not until she was so tired that her back ached and her neck was almost broken that the old lady asked her to get up.
"I have heard about what happened yesterday. Are you willing to enter the courtyard of the main house?"
When Liang Weiyuan heard this, she knew that the old lady was deliberately giving her a difficult time.
I guess Liang Shanyu didn't answer this question well in her previous life, which is why she knelt in the ancestral hall for half a month.
Liang Weiyuan responded immediately after a brief thought.
"To answer the old lady, I married into the Huo family as the second wife, but ended up marrying into the first wife. If I said I was willing, it would be a lie, but the matter is done. I don't want to serve the same husband as my sisters, so marrying into the first wife is naturally my willingness."
"Although Jin Jian is still ill, as long as I am the mistress of the main courtyard, I dare not slack off."
Liang Weiyuan knew very well that no matter how much he spoke, it would be of no use to a cunning person like the old lady, so it was better to answer honestly.
Anyway, she was willing to change her marriage in this life.
The sound of Buddhist beads stopped behind the screen.
The old lady didn't say a word, only the old nanny beside her stood up.
"The old lady is tired. Let's stop here today. Madam, please go back on your own."
Is this the end of the question?
Liang Weiyuan had some doubts in her mind, but she didn't dare to say much. At least she didn't end up being punished to kneel, which was already considered good.
Seeing Liang Weiyuan coming out of the old lady's courtyard in one piece, Liang Shanyu was so angry that her teeth were almost broken.
Why?
In her previous life, she tried her best to curry favor with the old lady and promised to serve Huo Jinjian meticulously, but ended up being punished by being forced to kneel.
She just didn't believe that Liang Weiyuan, with her arrogant personality, could be more daring than her?!
"Afu, what do you think of Jin's meeting with this daughter-in-law?"
After Liang Weiyuan left, the old lady spoke and asked the old woman who had been serving her.
Ah Fu pondered for a moment, "Madam is a sincere person. At least she didn't say some empty and nice words to fool you."
The old lady closed her eyes and nodded.
She hated those clever men who used sweet words to fool an old woman like her the most. Jin Jian was her precious child who had grown up under her care, so the wife he married must be a polite one.
Now that Huo Jin was ill, the Liang family forced a concubine's daughter into his family. Although the old lady was unwilling, she could not find any fault with it. After all, no other family in the capital was willing to propose marriage.
But last night, she foolishly promised the general's daughter to her grandson.
From what I've seen today, Liang Weiyuan is a person who knows her limits. When Huo Jin recovers from his illness, the Huo family will still have to be supported by the two of them.
"Ah Fu, tell your men to keep an eye on them. If anyone from the eldest wife dares to set their sights on my grandson and granddaughter-in-law, show no mercy."
"yes."
After returning to the main courtyard, Liang Weiyuan handed over the management of the household to the Huo family's steward.
In her previous life, she had already managed the Huo family's finances clearly, and could still keep track of everything even if she lost the account book. Now it's just a formality.
Liang Weiyuan specially selected a few people from the list of servants.
"These people will be transferred to the first house to work in the future. The second house has just married a new wife, so more people should be sent. You can ask the second wife to choose them later."
The people Liang Weiyuan picked were carefully selected by her in her previous life to work for the second house, and time has also proven that they are loyal servants.
Now that she has moved to the main house, these useful servants must naturally be brought along.
Now that there are more people in the mansion, the shares required by each room have to be redistributed. When Liang Weiyuan was distributing them according to the share in the previous life, the maid beside Yu came over to deliver a message.
"Madam, the Marquis' wife asked me to pass on a message to you. She has been feeling unwell lately and needs to take an extra two ounces of blood swallows every day as a medicine. However, the Marquis has always been frugal, so to avoid any trouble, I would like to ask Madam for your advice on this matter."
When Liang Weiyuan looked up at the maid's expression, she knew that Yu was deliberately giving her a hard time.
Everyone in the mansion has a fixed monthly allotment. Yu wanted to add some blood swallows, but she didn't want to write it down in the account book and be discovered by the Marquis.
Was this asking her to cook the books? Or was it asking her to use her share to plug her hole?
"That's easy."
Liang Weiyuan wrote on the account book without any sign of embarrassment.
"I don't want to put it in the account book, so I'll just find someone else to fill the gap. Madam is the biological mother of the second wife. Although I want to fill the gap for my mother-in-law, she is from the first wife after all. Shanyu is her biological son and daughter-in-law. It is her duty to respect her parents-in-law. The extra blood swallows that my mother-in-law produces every day can be deducted from Shanyu."
