When Qin Zun returned home and looked at the empty bedroom, he missed Tonghua even more.
Thinking of this, he specially called the butler over.
Butler: "Master, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Qin Zun pondered for a moment and asked, "What do you think of the relationship between the old lady and the lady?"
Although Tonghua had previously said that she and his mother had a good relationship, he still wanted to hear the opinions of outsiders.
The housekeeper thought for a moment and replied, "I think the relationship between Madam and Young Mistress is very harmonious. Madam treats the young mistress's daughter as her own and takes her wherever she goes. Young Mistress also respects Madam as an elder."
"Okay, go ahead."
After Qin Zun asked the housekeeper to leave, he began to wander around the villa aimlessly and unknowingly walked to a corner of the garden.
From a distance, he saw a gardener weeding out the lilies in the garden one by one. Most of the flowers had already been removed.
He immediately stepped forward and stopped the other person: "What are you doing?!"
When the gardener saw that it was Qin Zun, he immediately put down the shovel in his hand and bent down to answer him: "In reply to what you said, Master, it was Madam who asked me to remove all these lilies."
Qin Zun asked in confusion: "Isn't this Madam's favorite flower? Why did you suddenly ask someone to remove it?"
Qin Zun still remembered that when he turned this piece of grass into a garden, he once asked Tonghua what kind of flowers she wanted to plant here. Tonghua said that she liked pure white lilies. So Qin Zun specially marked out this corner of the garden and planted lilies all over it.
The gardener answered honestly, "But this is indeed what my wife told me a few days ago. She said she doesn't like lilies, and this white thing looks unlucky..."
Qin Zun quickly interrupted him: "Wait, the madam you are talking about is the old lady?"
The gardener nodded.
In this way, Qin Zun did discover a problem.
The housekeeper and the servants addressed Fairy Tale and his mother differently.
When his mother did not come to Yushan Villa, this problem was not obvious. Now that she is here, the problem has become prominent. The servants including the housekeeper call his mother and Tonghua "Madam" and "Young Madam", which obviously puts his mother in the position of the mistress of this family.
But there is only one mistress of this house from beginning to end, and that is Fairy Tale!
After thinking carefully about it, before Qin Zun gathered everyone to the hall, he discovered some problems along the way.
When he walked into the living room, he saw some workers using ladders to take down the decorative paintings on the wall at the corner of the stairs.
There were no decorative paintings in this place originally, but after Tonghua came, they felt that the wall was too empty, so they imitated the decoration of the corner of the stairs in their Blue Sky Morning Garden, restored all the previous decorative paintings one by one, and installed them here.
Lantian Chenyuan is just a small house of only more than 200 square meters. The wall at the corner of the stairs is naturally pitifully small and cannot be compared with the staircase wall of the villa. The small decorative paintings hung on the huge wall not only fail to play a decorative role, but appear extremely inconsistent. However, because Tonghua likes those decorative paintings, Qin Zun just let her do it.
When Qin Zun approached, he saw a man standing next to him, supervising the workers' work.
Qin Zun recognized her. She was a servant who had been with his mother for many years and was called Wang Ma.
When Wang Ma saw Qin Zun, she came forward to greet him.
Qin Zun pointed at the workers who were dismantling the paintings and asked her, "My mother ordered this to be taken down?"
Wang Ma glanced at where Qin Zun was pointing and replied, "Yes."
After hearing this, Qin Zun said calmly: "Call the housekeeper over to me."
Wang Ma didn't understand what Qin Zun meant, but she didn't dare to disobey the master's order, so she called the housekeeper over.
The butler stood in front of Qin Zun and asked respectfully, "Master, are you looking for me?"
Qin Zun raised his chin, pointed to the corner of the stairs ahead, and asked calmly, "Why did you tear down our house without my and Tonghua's permission?"
The housekeeper bowed slightly, glanced at Aunt Wang with some embarrassment, then glanced at Qin Zun, and said, "Aunt Wang said that it was Madam who ordered this, and that those decorative paintings were just cheap fakes, not from famous artists at all, and were not worthy of this place. If outsiders saw them, they would laugh at our Qin family."
Qin Zun exuded a majestic aura. "I wonder who would dare! Besides, the masters of this house are only me and Tong Hua. You actually let an outsider decide our family affairs, Steward Li, you are derelict in your duty!"
The butler stood there trembling. He didn't dare to ask whether the outsider Qin Zun was referring to was Song Yirou or Wang Ma. After all, he couldn't object to what they were going to do in the villa. He could only lower his head deeply and say yes repeatedly.
Seeing this scene, Wang Ma was silent as a cicada. She knew that Qin Zun did this to warn her and make her curb her arrogance. After all, this was not the Qin family villa, but the eldest young master's Yushan villa.
After Qin Zun held the housekeeper accountable, he asked him to notify all the servants in Yushan Villa to immediately put down their work and gather in the hall.
Such a big scene naturally alarmed Song Yirou.
She arrived at the hall and saw Qin Zun gathering all the servants of Yushan Villa in the hall, standing in two neat rows, and Wang Ma was also standing there.
Song Yirou walked up to Qin Zun and asked doubtfully, "What are you planning to do?"
Qin Zun looked at Song Yirou and said calmly, "Mother, you've come at the right time. I have something to announce. Please listen."
Qin Zun stood in front of the servants, scanning each of them with his eyes, and then slowly said: "During this period, because of the birth of my child, you have all worked hard, and my mother has also worked hard to help me look after the child. Therefore, my wife, Tonghua, and I are going to give everyone a big red envelope to thank you for your hard work. The housekeeper will hand it out to everyone later..."
Having said that, Qin Zun signaled to the butler with his eyes, and the butler immediately nodded, indicating that he would arrange the matter properly.
Qin Zun: "...But during this period, there was a deviation in the issue of addressing my mother, which led to some disputes...Now I reiterate that all matters of the villa, big or small, are under the full responsibility of the housekeeper. Matters that need to be decided will be handed over to the villa's only mistress, my wife Tonghua, to make the decision. As for the old lady, she is old, so don't disturb her peace with those trivial matters..."
