Mother Qin bowed her head and replied, tugging at her young lady's sleeve: "Young lady..."
Qin snorted coldly, holding her mouth shut, feeling extremely aggrieved, but not daring to say another word.
Old Man Mu looked at Mu Qianxue: "Xue'er, you are a sensible child."
Mu Qianxue looked at the old lady and smiled softly: "Thank you for the compliment, mistress."
She looked at Gu Yunran again, "Xue'er has long heard that Second Sister-in-law is a good housekeeper. She used to manage the Lu Mansion in an orderly manner."
"Grandmother has a keen eye for talent. Second sister-in-law will definitely manage the Mu Mansion well."
Gu Yunran smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, second sister!"
Madam Mu scolded Qin a few more times and criticized her, and then everyone left.
After leaving Frost Descent Courtyard, Qin Shi looked at Gu Yunran with a dark face and sneered, "You are just an abandoned woman. If it weren't for Second Master backing you up, do you think Mother would have passed over an elder like me and handed over the power of household management to you? A woman who only knows how to rely on men, I wonder how long you can be so complacent."
She curled her lips and said sarcastically, "Men, how many loyal men are there? They will get tired of the old and love the new, let alone a man as capable as the Second Master."
"At least my husband is reliable. Even if I want to rely on my husband, your husband can't stand up on his own." Faced with Qin's harsh words, Gu Yunran fought back without any hesitation.
"You!" Qin was so angry that her face turned red and her neck became thick. She stared at Gu Yunran angrily for a long time and couldn't say a word of rebuttal.
"Hmph! I wonder how long you can be so proud!" Qin said angrily, then left with a flick of her sleeves.
Mu Qianxue followed behind and caught up with Gu Yunran. She looked at her with a guilty look on her face and apologized on behalf of Qin: "I'm sorry, second sister-in-law, my mother..."
Without waiting for Mu Qianxue to explain, Gu Yunran smiled and said, "I won't bother with her."
The third lady came forward and said with a smile, "Xue'er, don't worry. Your second sister-in-law is a generous person and won't argue with your mother."
"Based solely on her bearing, your grandmother was right to choose your second sister-in-law as the head mistress."
Mu Qianxue felt a little embarrassed. She bowed to Gu Yunran and Wang and left.
After the two walked away, Wang said, "Yunran, your aunt is just like that. You better not take it to heart."
Gu Yunran smiled and said, "Aunt San, you're worrying too much. I won't take it to heart."
"That's good, that's good. It's inevitable that people will talk about the mistress of the house. Especially since you are still young and of a lower generation, it's normal for some people to dislike you." The Third Madam comforted Gu Yunran and asked her to think more positively.
"Thank you for your advice, Third Auntie. Yun Ran will keep it in mind."
"Haha, kid, you're actually quite clear-headed. You understand life better than I do anyway."
The Third Madam left after she finished speaking. When she was far away, Zhuye said, "Miss, the Third Madam..."
"She is the one who lives the most transparently." Gu Yunran said with a smile, "When she first married in, the old lady was in charge of the household. Now I am in charge. She doesn't fight or compete. She is happy with whoever is in charge. The old lady will not treat the third wife unfairly, and we have no conflicts. It is natural that she should be hers. Sometimes I really envy her."
Zhuye: "I also think that the Third Madam is the most blessed. She has raised her three children well. I have never seen the Third Young Master on duty. The Third and Fifth Young Misses are both simple-minded and have never thought of harming anyone. It's not like..."
Zhuye rolled her eyes and scanned the area, finding no one nearby. She leaned close to Gu Yunran's ear and whispered, "Unlike the First Lady's Second and Fourth Young Misses, who are full of evil intentions. Ever since you came in, they've been constantly causing trouble. Especially the Second Young Miss, who appears to be a harmless little white rabbit, but in reality..."
Before Zhuye finished speaking, Gu Yunran interrupted her, "Don't talk about the master behind his back. Let's talk about this matter in my yard. If you talk about it outside..." Gu Yunran pointed behind him, "Be careful, there are ears behind the wall."
Zhuye lowered her head: "I understand."
Gu Yunran brought Zhuye back to Biyun Pavilion and met Mu Qianxue on the way. She was taking people to Mu Qianjiao's yard.
"Second sister-in-law." Mu Qianxue bowed to Gu Yunran.
Gu Yunran glanced at the things in the maid's hands behind her and asked, "What is this? Fourth Miss, what's wrong?"
"She's been feeling a little unwell, and the medicine hasn't helped. I think she has a heart condition, and there aren't enough books for her to read."
Gu Yunran nodded: "The Second Miss is very smart."
"Second sister-in-law, you are too kind."
Mu Qianxue bowed to Gu Yunran and took her people to Mu Qianjiao's yard.
Gu Yunran instructed Ruizhu: "Send some supplements to the Fourth Miss later."
"yes."
As soon as Mu Qianxue and her men entered Mu Qianjiao's yard, they heard a crackling sound coming from inside.
"Everyone comes to bully me, I am just an unpopular person."
"Why! Why does everyone like my second sister, but no one likes me?"
Mu Qianjiao had basically smashed everything that could be smashed in the room, and the maid couldn't stop her.
Mu Qianxue came in and scolded with a cold face: "What are you doing?"
She glanced at the maids present: "Get out!"
When she walked to that station, her aura was fully released, and she no longer looked weak as usual. The maids were so scared that they dared not get close to her. They retreated tremblingly and lowered their heads.
Mu Qianxue pointed at the broken porcelain on the ground and said, "Pick it up!"
"I won't!" Mu Qianjiao sat down on the chair and turned her face away.
“Pick it up!”
Mu Qianxue spoke again. Her voice was not loud, but it carried a chilling aura.
Mu Qianjiao shuddered, and was actually a little scared, so she obediently went to pick it up.
