Old Madam Feng looked at Second Madam Xiao with an uncertain expression.

As the daughter-in-law who has been the housekeeper for so long, has she forgotten who is the real boss of the Bo's Mansion? She has even extended her hands to Ci Xin Hall!

Jiang Silin's words before leaving made Old Madam Feng angry.

Why did the kitchen make things difficult for Jiang Si for no reason? And why did it happen on the day when Jiang Qian came back?

Apparently, word had spread of Jiang Si's disrespect for Jiang Qian at Ci Xin Tang to Xiao, and that's when Xiao gave Jiang Si a little bit of disrespect.

Old Madam Feng was an experienced person and didn't care much about these kinds of tricks used in the harem, but she couldn't tolerate it when it happened to her.

Jiang Qian didn't even go to Yaxinyuan, but Xiao went to find Jiang Si. Doesn't this mean that Xiao knows everything that happened in Cixintang!

How can she allow others to snore beside her bed? For someone as controlling as Madam Feng, this is absolutely unbearable.

Old Madam Feng became angrier and angrier. She raised her hand and splashed the tea on Xiao's face, gritting her teeth and saying, "I'm not dead yet!"

The tea was already half warm, so it didn't burn people when it splashed on their faces. But Xiao was an elderly person, and had been the housekeeper for many years. At this moment, the tea was flowing down her face, and there were still tea leaves hanging on her cheeks and temples. She felt as if her face was on fire, and she wished there was a crack in the ground for her to crawl into.

"Madam, your words really make me feel ashamed. I don't know what I did wrong to make you so angry..."

Old Madam Feng came to her senses. Looking at the frightened Xiao, she felt mostly mad but also a little regretful.

I was a bit too much just now. After all, Xiao is the one who runs the household. Even if you don't look down on Xiao, you have to give her some face for the sake of her two grandsons.

"Forget it. Go back now. Ask Mrs. Liu and her family to leave the house early tomorrow morning. Don't cause me any more trouble." Old Madam Feng softened her tone.

"Madam, please take a good rest. Your daughter-in-law will leave first."

As soon as Xiao left, the huge Ci Xin Hall became extremely quiet and you could hear a pin drop.

Old Madam Feng glanced at Mother Feng and the others without saying a word.

The depressing atmosphere made Mother Feng and others unable to raise their heads, and sweat quietly soaked their backs.

Mother Feng took the lead and knelt down, followed closely by Ah Fu and Ah Xi.

As for the other maids and servants, they were all kneeling outside and had no qualifications to come in.

"Tell me, who is talking too much?" Old Madam Feng stretched out her hand to pick up the tea to drink, but halfway through her hand she remembered that the cup of tea had already spilled on Xiao's face, and her face became even gloomier.

Seeing this, Ah Fu bravely stood up, quickly replaced a cup of tea and handed it to Old Madam Feng, then returned to his original place and knelt down obediently.

Old Madam Feng picked up the teacup and took a sip. Although she was furious, she was still satisfied with Ah Fu's eyesight.

"No one admits it?" Old Madam Feng took another sip of tea, and her tone no longer showed any emotion.

But the more Madam Feng spoke like this, the more the servants kneeling on the ground felt cold in their hearts.

Ah Xi finally couldn't bear the pressure anymore and kowtowed, saying, "It's my fault... I just said too much..."

Seeing that it was one of the head maids beside her, Old Madam Feng tightened her lips, looked down at Ah Xi who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing desperately, and said nothing.

In such a short while, Ah Xi's hair was already disheveled from knocking her head. "After the second aunt left, the maid from Yaxin Garden came to talk to me. I thought about how much the second wife loved the second aunt, so I couldn't help but say a few more words. Old Madam, I know I was wrong. If I had known that it would cause such a big trouble, I would not have dared to say anything even if you beat me to death..."

Ah Xi kowtowed several times, and her fair and tender forehead was already purple and blue: "I really know my mistakes, please forgive me, old lady, I will never dare to do it again..."

"That's enough."

When Madam Feng uttered two words, Ah Xi immediately froze and stopped kowtowing, looking at her in fear.

"Starting tomorrow, you will go to the needlework room to work." Seeing Ah Xi's forehead covered in blood and flesh, Old Lady Feng softened her heart and gave up the idea of ​​sending him out of the house.

"Thank you...thank you, old lady..." Ah Xi sat paralyzed on the floor, feeling completely hopeless.

She was reduced from a respectable maid in Cixintang to a maid in the sewing room. Such a blow made her wish she could die immediately.

Ah Fu saw that Ah Xi looked a little strange, but thinking of the affection they had grown up together, he hurriedly pulled her aside and said, "Madam, I'll take Ah Xi downstairs to clean up."

"Go ahead." Old Madam Feng was tired after making such a fuss, and said in a cold voice, "Mother Feng, you are the one who will punish these people. Anyone who talks too much will be kicked out of the house!"

That night, the servants of Ci Xin Tang seemed to have fallen into collective silence, not daring to make a sound.

Yaxinyuan isn't much better either.

Xiao returned to his residence from Ci Xin Tang in a horrible state. As soon as he entered the house, he overturned the table. The teapot and teacups on the table fell to the ground, and broken porcelain was scattered everywhere.

"What's going on?" Old Master Jiang Er happened to come in and found that there was no place to step, so he asked with a frown.

Xiao felt embarrassed and aggrieved, so she sent the servant away and explained the situation.

"Stupid!" Jiang Er Laoye scolded immediately after hearing this. "As a aunt, why are you trying to control your niece over such a trivial matter? How can you be proud if this gets out?"

Xiao's face was burning with anger, and she said angrily, "Who knew Jiang Si would be so shameless and actually tore his face to compete with me."

In other families, those stepmothers who make things difficult for their concubine daughters or stepmothers who make things difficult for the legitimate daughters left by the original wife, which one of them doesn't manipulate people over such trivial matters?

Who dared to say anything about those girls who were being bullied? Why was it that she couldn't do it when it was her turn?

"Don't be unconvinced. Do you think the fourth girl is easy to get along with? She had a good marriage before, so she naturally cared about her reputation. It's different now."

"How is it different?"

"It's just a broken jar." When talking about Jiang Si, Old Master Jiang was also in a bad mood.

He had not forgotten the day when his niece squeezed him speechless in front of the warehouse.

Xiao was about to say something with trembling lips, but Second Elder Jiang said coldly: "Anyway, that girl is now barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, so stay away from her!"

After Master Jiang Er finished speaking, he looked at his wife's face under the light, which was even yellower than the tea leaves hanging on her temples. She was indeed a yellow-faced woman. How could he be willing to stay any longer? He walked towards the west wing of the courtyard.

Xiao did not receive any comfort from Old Master Jiang Er but was scolded instead. She also had to watch her own husband sleep with his concubine. She was so angry that she was shaking. She rolled her eyes and called her trusted maid to whisper a few words to her.

The trusted woman nodded and quietly went out.

When Jiang Si and his servant returned to Haitangju, Ah Man could not wait to ask, "Miss, how do you know that the old lady and the second wife dare not embarrass you?"

Jiang Si smiled faintly: "Nothing else, just being strong without desires."

She had no demands, so she could use the dowry left by her mother to ask for a high price from her grandmother. But her grandmother was reluctant to give up using her mother's dowry to make a profit, so when she got angry with her aunt, she could only stand by and watch.

As for the second aunt, she thought that she was a girl without her mother's protection, and she was sure that she was shy and would use euphemistic methods to solve the problem. In this case, I'm afraid that the kitchen would stop before she could take any action, and she would have to suffer this loss.

It’s a pity that Second Aunt didn’t know that she had understood a long time ago that face and dignity are two different things in life.

Face is not as important as living happily, but living happily cannot lose your dignity!

"Go to sleep. There will be a lot of fun tomorrow." Jiang Si signaled A Man and the other man to help her wash up.

Ah Man and Ah Qiao exchanged glances and thought to themselves: What will happen tomorrow?
