"What's the Lan family? No matter how powerful the Lan family is, can it compare to the Jin family or our Chu family?" Aunt Zhang said indifferently.
The housekeeper took a deep breath and said seriously, "The Lan family is nothing, and it can't compare to the Jin family and the Chu family. But Miss Lan is the apple of the eye of the eldest son and the favorite granddaughter-in-law of the patriarch. Do you think you'll die if you said that just now?"
Aunt Zhang's face paled instantly. Her lips trembled as she asked in disbelief, "How is that possible? Hasn't the eldest son already banished her to the cold palace and exiled her to that villa in the back?"
The housekeeper was speechless. He said, "This was Miss Lan's own request! What did you just say? That villa is the cold palace, where she was exiled? Aunt Zhang, I think you've been wasting the past twenty years in the Chu family. Don't you realize that the furnishings in that room are priceless? Don't you see that the flowers and plants in the yard are unique to the market? Let me tell you this, even the stones there were bought by the eldest son at a high price at an auction!"
Aunt Zhang was completely dumbfounded. She said why those things looked so exquisite and were different from what she had seen at the Chu family!
"How could this happen?" Aunt Zhang asked in surprise.
"The villa was originally given by the eldest son as a gift to the head of the family. Everything inside had to be worthy of the head of the family. Later, the head of the family heard that Miss Lan was going to move out. In order to keep Miss Lan, he sold the villa to Miss Lan at a price that you can't imagine. More importantly, Young Master Chu had no objection! Think about why!" The butler said seriously.
Finally, the housekeeper sighed and said, "In fact, the eldest young master has already done it very clearly. It's just that you are wishful thinking that the eldest young master would like a woman like your daughter!"
Aunt Zhang was dumbfounded. After a long while, she asked blankly, "Then...what should I do now? I've been working in the Chu family for over twenty years!"
"The head of the family is kind and has given you a severance pay. If you take the money home and spend it frugally, it should be enough for your retirement! Just listen to my advice! No matter whether it is the eldest son, the eldest daughter, or the Lan and Chu families, you cannot afford to offend them! Don't be wishful thinking and don't harm your own daughter!" said the housekeeper earnestly.
"Is there really no other way?" Aunt Zhang asked without giving up.
The housekeeper shook his head and left, leaving only Aunt Zhang at a loss.
He has done his best, and now he has to go back and apologize to the eldest master. He doesn't know what Miss Lan wanted to say to him just now, but she just hung up the phone... If something really happened, he would probably have to pack up and leave!
Lan Ziye called out, "Xiaobai!"
Xiaobai instantly appeared in front of Lan Ziye and said reluctantly, "Master, why are you calling Xiaobai now?"
Lan Ziye shrugged and said, "Come with me to clean up down there!"
"Cleaning the house?" Xiaobai asked in astonishment, "Where are the servants?"
"Because they were unfaithful, I drove them away!" Lan Ziye said with a depressed look on his face.
"Then ask Master Chu's men to come and help!" Xiaobai meowed, a distressed expression on his face. "Master, have you ever done any housework since you were a child? These things are truly beyond our capabilities!"
Lan Ziye took a deep breath and told the whole story about Aunt Zhang, Zhang Yan and the housekeeper. Finally, he said, "Chu Xixuan and I don't have much of a friendship. He has no obligation to help me everywhere!" Then he walked downstairs.
