Chapter 358: The Concubines Assist in Managing the Marquis’ Residence

After Lu Kuan was overjoyed and finalized the deal, Lu Lingyun went to three houses: the Tong Mansion, the Lu Family Mansion and the Marquis Mansion.

The chores in the mansion were temporarily handed over to Qiu Ling and Ling Long. They could handle the affairs in the mansion at any time and report to Lu Lingyun after they were done.

If you encounter a major matter that you are undecided about, you can first tell Nanny An, and Nanny An will then inform Lu Lingyun to make the decision.

The day before the wedding, Lu Lingjun left home early to visit the Tong Mansion to see Tong Nanying's wedding dress and help her check the things for the wedding tomorrow. All the affairs in the mansion were left to Qiu Ling and Linglong.

In Qiuxiang Courtyard, Qiu Ling and Ling Long huddled together, listening to the housekeepers of the mansion coming to report chores and arrangements to them.

In such a huge mansion, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all problems.

For example, when the seasons change, the masters and concubines in the mansion need to buy new clothes, the maids and servants need to be given clothes, the kitchen needs to buy new dishes, old and damaged materials need to be replaced, and a pavilion in a certain courtyard needs to be repaired. Someone has to decide on all kinds of things.

Qiu Ling and Ling Long listened carefully to the managers' report and said, "Just follow the rules set by the young lady before."

Qiu Ling and Ling Long may not understand and have a way to deal with everything, but they know to follow the rules.

Just follow the standards set by Lu Lingyun before.

This may not be outstanding, but it is definitely not wrong!

Nowadays, when doing things, you don’t have to do them well, as long as you don’t make any mistakes, you will definitely pass.

"yes."

The stewards responded one by one and then left their yard.

Naturally, things like account books were not given to them. Lu Lingyun only asked them to help with some chores, and the core things were still sent to Lu Lingyun's courtyard.

After the managers left, Qiu Ling and Ling Long breathed a sigh of relief.

Both of them looked at each other as if it was not easy to be the head of a family.

"It's really hard for the young lady to manage the entire mansion by herself."

"Yeah, I didn't feel that way before, but now I hear all this nonsense every day and it really makes me feel overwhelmed."

Linglong said.

At this time, the maid in their room said, "Madam Qiu, Madam Ling, and Madam Li are here to see you."

When they heard Li Bixi coming, they both perked up and looked at each other.

"Please let her in."

"yes."

After a while, Li Bixi followed the others in.

Qiu Ling saw her and said, "Oh, what wind blew to bring Aunt Li over here?"

"Aunt Qiu." Li Bixi gave her a flattering smile, "How are you doing recently?"

"It's okay, it's just that the young lady asked me and Linglong to help her share the worries and assist in taking care of the chores in the backyard. It's a bit tiring. I really didn't know that the young lady was so busy every day." Qiu Ling said with a smile.

"Yes, if some people can be more aggressive, they can help the young lady relieve some of her worries. I don't know how much better it will be if we have one more person to work with." Linglong looked at Li Bijie meaningfully.

A few months ago, when Lu Lingyun delegated power for the first time, she and Qiu Ling completed all the tasks assigned by Lu Lingyun.

This time, Lu Lingyun gave them more power, and everyone in the Marquis' Mansion saw it. It was well deserved!

They both can do it!

When Li Bixiang heard this, a dark light appeared in her eyes.

Isn't this the person that is being talked about in secret?

She said that she couldn't do anything at that time.

Humph! If Lu Lingyun asked her to do the same job as them, she would be able to do it well!

Li Bixi suppressed the dim light in her eyes, put on a smile and looked at Linglong, "Bixi is stupid, how can you compare with your two sisters, how can you manage this family."

"Stop calling us sisters. Everyone knows that you, Aunt Li, are so much older than us. You make it seem like we are older than you." Linglong continued to mock.

Li Bixi couldn't help but clench her teeth when she heard Linglong mocking her age and appearance, which were the things that Li Bixi cared about the most.

This little whore who came out of a brothel will be punished sooner or later!

At this time, Qiu Ling said, "Well, Aunt Li, you don't come to me for no reason. You must have something to ask me. If you have something to say, just tell me."

Upon hearing this, Li Bixi quickly suppressed her anger and looked up at Qiu Ling pitifully, "Aunt Qiu, Bixi really has something to ask you. The Third Young Master has not been eating well since the day he was brought to the Young Madam's courtyard. I am really worried when I see this. He is still young and I raised him since he was a child. He will not be able to adapt to a new place."

"Oh, look at what you said, Aunt Li, it's as if our young mistress is treating the third young master harshly!"

"Aunt Ling, how dare Bixi say that? Although Bixi is lowly, the Third Young Master is my flesh and blood. How can I, as his mother, not feel sorry for him?"

"Who are you mocking? You are the only one who can give birth to a child and be a mother?" Linglong glared.

In the entire mansion, she was the only concubine who did not have children, and she entered the mansion earlier than Li Bixi.

Linglong has been anxious in recent years. After all, there is a huge difference between having children and not having children.

Who doesn’t want to have a child of their own, so that they can have hope for the future?

"Aunt Ling, I really didn't mean that. Look how dumb I am in talking..." Li Bixiang begged for mercy, but she was secretly happy in her heart.

Kill this bastard's heart with a stab!

Ask her to be proud, but what is there for her to be proud of? She doesn't even have a child. She will be kicked out sooner or later!

"That's enough." At this time, Qiu Ling interrupted Li Bixi and looked at her. "Aunt Li, I pity you as a mother, but this is about the Third Young Master, we can't make the decision. You should wait for the Young Madam to come back and then go and ask her."

After Cheng Bingzhi was brought to Lu Lingyun's yard that day, Lu Lingyun began to teach him rules and some lessons.

The homework was not much and was even quite easy, but Cheng Bingzhi didn't study at all.

For this reason, he even used the same tactics he had used in the academy to confront the teacher, procrastinating and refusing to eat until he had finished his studies.

Seeing this, Lu Lingyun simply reduced her lessons. Cheng Bingzhi saw that this trick worked and became even more demanding. He was even more unwilling to study and simply fought back by slacking off and not eating well.

After a few days, Li Bixi saw everything and felt that Lu Lingyun was treating him harshly.

How can I tolerate this?

Li Bixi hurriedly looked at Qiu Ling and said, "Aunt Qiu, I'm not here to ask you to release the Third Young Master. The Young Madam said before that I can go and ask the Young Master. I'm asking you to let me out today! I saw that the Third Young Master didn't have a good breakfast today. I don't know when the Young Madam will come back. Please let me out first and I will go and ask the Young Master myself."

Qiu Ling and Ling Long looked at each other after hearing this.

Qiu Ling turned her head and looked deeply at Li Bixi. As a mother, she could understand Li Bixi's heart. She sighed, "Auntie Li, if jade is not polished, it will not become a useful thing. You will not make a mistake in handing the Third Young Master over to the Young Madam to raise him."
