Chapter 416: The Same Trick Again
Madam Zhou San said calmly, "Second sister-in-law, how old is Zhao Liya? Has she ever managed a household? There are only a few people in her Zhao Mansion. How can it compare to our Duke's Mansion? It's no easy task to greet and entertain relatives, friends, and colleagues in and out of the Duke's Mansion! Can she do it without someone to lead the way? Even if my eldest sister-in-law wanted to help her, could she? Even if she wanted to, she wouldn't have the strength!"
Mrs. Zhou Er's eyes lit up and she smiled, "You're right."
There are many things involved in the Duke's Mansion, both inside and outside, and there are many tricks and details involved.
For example, when giving gifts, if you don’t know whether it is too much or too little, whether it meets the recipient’s preferences or violates any taboos, whether the gift is appropriate, etc., you will end up making a big joke!
For a mansion of the level of the Duke's Mansion, it is not just a matter of making a big joke, it is very likely to have a series of bad effects.
This influence, at certain times, can even ferment into a disaster.
Madam Zhou Er and Madam Zhou San simply did not believe that Zhao Liya, a young woman who had been to Lingnan for many years and had little experience after returning, could really be the head of the Duke's Mansion.
Mrs. Zhou Er had calmed down and began to sit back and wait with a gloating look to see what would happen to Zhao Liya.
"It's such a pity. I don't know how long I have to wait!"
Mrs. Zhou San smiled slightly and said, "Good food is never too late. Just wait patiently."
"That's true!" The two smiled at each other.
After a while, someone came from Old Lady Zhou to invite them over.
The two men's expressions were slightly stiff, and they both showed some resistance.
It didn't take much thought to know what the old lady wanted to say when she sent someone to call them over.
A major event like a new head of household would surely spread to every corner of the palace in an instant. It might even have spread outside! It was truly embarrassing, but what could they do?
The old lady would definitely grab them and scold them.
In their hearts, they both felt somewhat resentful towards Old Madam Zhou. If she had the ability, why would she have done this?
No matter how much the two sisters-in-law complained and were dissatisfied, they did not dare to really not go, and they finally went after procrastinating.
"Greetings to the old lady! She looks good today!"
"Is the old lady well? I wonder what she wants from us?"
"Hmph!" Old Madam Zhou sneered, glancing at the hopeless couple of daughters-in-law with dismay. She said coldly, "What am I, an old woman? I have no power or influence. No wonder you don't take me seriously. The Duke's wife called you, and you went so quickly. I'm just saying something, and you're dawdling for so long!"
"And I dare to ask what I want from you? Oh! Fine, fine! What? You guys are playing deaf and dumb, are you still trying to hide it from me?"
Nanny Bai had already sent all the maids and old women away. Now, apart from the three masters, she was the only servant serving them.
Mrs. Zhou Er suddenly felt aggrieved: "Old lady, there is nothing we can do. My eldest sister-in-law insisted that she wanted to be the housekeeper, and we can't refuse!"
"Yes, old lady, please listen to our explanation."
Mrs. Zhou San started talking about how Zhao Liya followed them closely and aggressively, and then she talked about how the Duke's wife personally forced them to
Old Madam Zhou had not known this clearly before, and now she could not help but fly into a rage, gritting her teeth and sneering: "What a Bai! What a Duke's wife!"
"Old lady, let them do whatever they want. Bai doesn't have the energy, and how capable can Zhao be? Once something goes wrong, we'll see what they can say."
At that time, they had to return the things they took away.
In this case, if you hand it back, it will not be easy to get it back.
Old Madam Zhou nodded and slowly continued, "Alright, let them do whatever they want! You should just let go and ignore everything! If that Zhao shamelessly comes to you for advice, don't pay any attention to her."
"Of course!"
Old Madam Zhou continued, "Choose two or three young and beautiful women and find a way to present them to the Crown Prince."
"old lady!"
"Old lady! This is inappropriate!"
Once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years. Mrs. Zhou Er and Mrs. Zhou San were both frightened when they heard this.
Previously, the old lady had gifted Zhou Hansheng with two beautiful maids, and what happened? In the blink of an eye, they became the concubines of their husbands. Those two enchantresses were truly skilled at captivating men.
Although they wanted to beat the man to death, this man, although sent by Zhou Hansheng, happened to come from the old lady's place.
If something really happened to the person, it would be embarrassing for the old lady.
I had no choice but to swallow my anger.
Fortunately, they were just two maids and concubines of humble origins.
The old lady was going to use the same trick again this time, and they were really scared.
Old Mrs. Zhou knew that she was in the wrong last time. The attitude of these two daughters-in-law really made her feel embarrassed and angry: Can this be blamed on her? If they were able to manage their husbands well and win their husbands' hearts, why would it come to this?
Old Madam Zhou snorted softly, "This time is different than that time. Han Sheng was a naive man before, so he didn't know the benefits of this. But now, hmm, you should know, right?"
Mrs. Zhou Er and Mrs. Zhou San looked at each other and both showed a strange smile!
Isn’t it?
As for this man, when he didn't know the benefits of this, he might have been able to endure it. In addition, the prince had opinions about the old lady and their two families, so it was not surprising that he acted like that on impulse.
But once he'd had sex, how could he not think about it? Even if Zhao Liya was great, after getting her, wouldn't that be the end of it? Aren't all men like this?
Who would dislike having too many beauties?
Besides, he is a noble prince! Such a small matter cannot be any smaller.
As long as there is something that catches his eye for a moment, it is a success.
Mrs. Zhou Er laughed with full of malice. She was really eager to see Zhao Liya suffer misfortune!
He immediately complimented Mrs. Zhou with a smile on his face: "After all, she is an old lady, an experienced person, and she can see further than us! That's the truth!"
Mrs. Zhou San also smiled and said, "In that case, let's go pick someone right away. I guarantee we'll pick two excellent ones!"
After all, they had been the head of the household for so many years and had reaped a lot of benefits. It would be easy for them to bring back two or three beauties.
Mrs. Zhou nodded in satisfaction. "This must be kept secret until it's done. Also, don't send the person directly to Han Sheng. Let him stumble upon him by chance. That's better than sending him directly."
