The housekeeper never dreamed that Yun Qianmeng would insist on sticking to a title, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed at his own negligence!
But seeing Yun Qianmeng's gentle expression and a smile on her lips, he couldn't help but think in his heart, if it weren't for the Queen Mother's support, this young lady would never speak like this!
It is estimated that Yun Qianmeng is just bluffing at this time. She would not dare to really offend herself as the housekeeper!
So, the housekeeper grinned and explained with a look of disdain for Yun Qianmeng, "Young lady, why are you so angry? Although Concubine Su's position hasn't been officially confirmed, everyone has been calling her that for so many years. Moreover, this is also tacitly approved by the Prime Minister! Young lady, please don't let such a trivial matter cause a stir between father and daughter!"
Yun Qianmeng had already expected him to use this as an excuse, so she wasn't angry at all. Instead, her smile grew even wider...
"I don't like what you said, housekeeper! How could the relationship between my father and I be affected by other things?" Although she asked softly, Yun Qianmeng's eyes were so sharp that it made people tremble!
The housekeeper was frightened for a moment, but he couldn't tell whether Yun Qianmeng's anger was genuine or fake, so he could only quickly apologize with a smile, "Yes, yes, Miss, you are absolutely right! It's just that I've been used to her calling me that for so many years. The mansion is also managed by Concubine Su. If I don't have someone of status to back me up, I'm afraid those gossipy servants won't accept it!"
The housekeeper paid attention to Yun Qianmeng's expression while speaking, and at the same time told Yun Qianmeng the reality that the Prime Minister's Mansion was managed by Concubine Su, hoping that she could recognize the current situation and act wisely!
"I don't understand this logic again! I remember that when Aunt Su came into the family, my father didn't give her any identity. If my father hadn't called her 'Aunt Su' in person at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion today, I'm afraid she would be at most a maid or a servant at this moment! Butler Zhao, please explain this to me. Why do you servants have to disobey what my father has acknowledged?" As the question came out, the faint smile on Yun Qianmeng's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a touch of awe-inspiring nobility, especially the unstoppable shrewdness in his eyes, which made Butler Zhao's heart tighten, and the disdain for Yun Qianmeng in his eyes instantly disappeared!
"Why did Butler Zhao suddenly stop talking? Or is it that my status is not worth that of a concubine?" Seeing Butler Zhao keeping his head down and keeping silent, Yun Qianmeng slowly stood up and walked slowly in front of him. Her cold eyes swept across the row of servants behind him, and she snorted in her heart, and the coldness on her body became even greater!
"I dare not, I dare not! The young lady is naturally much more noble than that concubine. It was a slip of the tongue. Please forgive me! But, wasn't it because of Mu Chun that the young lady called me here today?" Seeing that he couldn't get any advantage in Su Qing's matter, Butler Zhao quickly changed the subject and even raised his hand, intending to have the servants in the back row kidnap Mu Chun...
"Wait!" Little did they know, Yun Qianmeng suddenly shouted to stop them...
Everyone was startled and looked towards Yun Qianmeng. She had a stern expression on her face, staring directly at the housekeeper and the others with icy eyes. This actually made several of the servants feel fearful...
"I only asked Shui'er to inform the housekeeper, and I didn't ask him to mobilize a large force to arrest anyone! Does that mean I need the housekeeper's approval even if I want a maid?" Yun Qianmeng's gaze was like a sharp blade, piercing the housekeeper straight...
"Miss, this is Aunt Su..." Butler Zhao was about to argue, but he saw Yun Qianmeng's eyes instantly reddened and she walked straight behind him...
"Daughter greets father!" Her voice trembled slightly, tears welling in her eyes. Yun Qianmeng feigned strength and bowed to Yun Xuanzhi as he entered Qiluo Garden...
"What's going on?" Seeing many servants standing in Qiluo Garden, Yun Xuanzhi's eyes instantly showed anger. Although he didn't like Yun Qianmeng, she was a lady from a wealthy family after all. How could he let these lowly servants see her true face!
Seeing Yun Qianmeng's face full of grievance, Yun Xuanzhi's anger intensified. He walked straight up to the housekeeper, staring at him with sharp eyes, making the housekeeper's heart tremble...
Butler Zhao had never expected that Yun Xuanzhi would appear in Qiluo Garden at this time. Moreover, in all these years, Yun Xuanzhi had never set foot in Yun Qianmeng's yard, and had even ignored Yun Qianmeng. This was already known to everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion. This sudden change made the butler frown for a moment!
But Butler Zhao had seen big scenes before, so he immediately reacted and was about to say, "Prime Minister, this..."
But once again, someone interrupted me...
"Father, I am incompetent and wanted to ask this girl to serve me, but I didn't expect that there are so many rules in the Prime Minister's Mansion. I even have to get the approval of Aunt Su, the housekeeper and others!" Yun Qianmeng waved Mu Chun to come in front of Yun Xuanzhi, wiped away her tears, and spoke carefully. Her eyes, which were full of frost just now, were now flashing with fear!
"My Lord, that's not the case! Even if I had all the courage I could muster, I wouldn't dare to be the young lady's master!" The housekeeper immediately changed his words when he saw Yun Xuanzhi's unhappy expression!
But the servant standing in Qiluo Garden could not be eliminated by just an explanation. At this time, Yun Xuanzhi's eyes were fierce, and his eyes were full of cruelty as he looked at the housekeeper!
"Father!" Yun Qianmeng whispered again. She lowered her brows and said softly, "Father, Shui'er and Bing'er are the Queen Mother's people after all. Even if I've been wronged, for the sake of our family's peace, I must not complain to them! And Mu Chun is a servant of this family. Even if I say something wrong, it won't reach the Queen Mother's ears!"
Yun Xuanzhi had never expected Yun Qianmeng to say this. His anger dissipated by half, and he looked at Yun Qianmeng with a smile in his eyes, praising her, "Meng'er is still sensible!"
Then he looked at the housekeeper and others with authority and said, "Get out now! Remember this, this is the eldest lady's yard. You can't just come and go as you please. From now on, if the eldest lady has something to do, she doesn't have to go through Aunt Su!"
"Yes, yes, yes! We got it!" Butler Zhao saw that he had escaped a disaster and immediately responded in fear and trepidation. In a moment, he and his men disappeared from Yun Xuanzhi's sight!
Seeing the crowd disperse, Yun Xuanzhi also turned around and prepared to leave. However, seeing the dilapidated state of Qiluo Garden and seeing that Yun Qianmeng was only served by three people, he thought for a moment before speaking, "Let's ask Butler Zhao to bring people to repair this courtyard tomorrow. My son's engagement was broken off by Prince Chen this year, but the Queen Mother still has the final say, so don't take it too seriously!"
Seeing Yun Xuanzhi reminding her again with concern, Yun Qianmeng sneered inwardly, but her face remained gentle. She personally escorted Yun Xuanzhi to the courtyard entrance, then bowed and said respectfully, "Daughter understands, father, don't worry!"
However, Yun Qianmeng had the upper hand here, while Su Qing was furious!
When she heard the report from Butler Zhao, her originally gentle eyes suddenly flashed with vicious intent!
The hand holding the handkerchief kept tightening. "Listen up, everyone! The monthly salary from Qiluo Garden will be delayed by ten days!"
She wanted to see how Yun Qianmeng could survive without Yue Yin!
