Xue Zhilan was both happy and frightened when she heard these words. She was happy because she was usually docile, but ended up shooting herself in the foot. Although she had a good reputation in front of her wife and husband, she had never been in charge of the household affairs. The mother and son both believed that docile people could not be in charge of the household, which almost made her vomit blood. She had to endure it just to plan for the future. In the past six months, she had seen Xu Ranyun being arrogant. She didn't know how many times she was so angry that she couldn't eat, but she didn't expect that the other party would also have such a moment. So when she saw Xu Ranyun crying sadly, how could she not be happy?
However, although she was happy, Xu Ranyun was not a fool. She knew that the two of them did not get along, but she came to him and cried about her grievances, making him laugh at her for nothing. The reason why she told him all this was to convey a message: the woman in Chunfeng Garden had begun to show her sharp teeth and claws. Even the master was willing to give her the private vault, which showed how much trust and love this had. In the five years of marriage, the master had never given the key to the private vault to the grandmother. Even Xu Ranyun was only given the key to the private vault after Duan Tingxuan secretly observed her for three years. To be fair, just for this trust and love, Xu Ranyun could be said to have worked hard to manage the private vault tightly, and no one could do anything about it. What she said about being conscientious was not wrong at all, and no wonder she was crying so sadly at this time. It was really shocking that the master was ruthless.
Yin hurriedly tried to comfort her, then became worried and said, "But what can we do now? The eldest grandmother has really become a big shot, and the two of us are nothing in the eyes of the master. Last time, she instigated the mistress to go to Meiyue Tower and make a scene. Later, I heard that my sister was scolded by the master. The master is very smart, and if we use any tricks, we will definitely not be able to hide it from his eyes."
Xu Ranyun wiped away the tears with a handkerchief. His face returned to calmness, and he sneered, "The master gave the storehouse to her simply because she made a few clothes for the second young lady, and because he saw that the second young lady's rouge and jewelry were not good, he personally gave a few items to her. Our master has never taken the mother and her son seriously, but this time he was merciful for some reason, saying that I was too busy with housekeeping and couldn't take care of the people who needed care. The eldest grandmother is different. She has now changed her ways and is careful and kind. Because of these, the storehouse was given to her. Sister, haven't you noticed it yet? Now our eldest grandmother really looks like she has repented and is ready to start a new life. Isn't it? Even the old lady and the mistress were deceived by her, and they praised her kindness yesterday. Haha! Isn't it just a few clothes and jewelry? She earned this reputation. It's really a good deal."
When she said this, Xue Zhilan was startled, thinking that the Anping Marquis Mansion has always been a family tradition of benevolence and righteousness, let alone. After the death of the eldest grandmother, she has grasped the thoughts of the elders in the mansion, and even the master has been influenced by her. He also began to pay attention to his responsibilities as the eldest son. However, this situation is very disadvantageous to him. Xu Ranyun has always been smart and shrewd. So he didn't please the wife as well as he did. But if Su Mengnuan really learned to do this, she would be the legal wife and the master's favorite, and the snacks and food she made would make the old lady, the master and the wife very happy...
The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became. Suddenly, Xu Ranyun laughed and said, "Don't worry, sister. She wants to be a kind person, but she hasn't done enough. She chased our master in Meiyue Tower before, and the whole thing was seen by the Madam. But now because of her hypocrisy, the Madam is half-believing and half-doubting again. If there is any way to let the Madam recognize her fierce face again, then even if she makes clothes and jewelry for everyone in the mansion in the future, it will be useless."
"Sister, you know I'm stupid. If you have a way, why don't you tell me?" Xue Zhilan said with a smile. At this time, she finally understood the purpose of Xu Ranyun's coming. As expected, he wanted to use her as a gun. However, was it so easy for her to control her gun? In the end, it was still uncertain who would use whom as a gun.
Xu Ranyun took a sip of tea. She knew that Xue Zhilan was cautious and she had to reveal something. However, only a fool would give her advice with all his heart. Who would she cry to if she was blamed in the future?
Thinking of this, he drank tea and smiled, "My sister is stupid, and I am not smart either. I am sad right now, so how can I have any good solution? Forget it, let's not talk about this. I just want to chat with my sister today to relieve my boredom. Do you know who is the most favored one in Chunfengyuan now?"
Xue Zhilan was confused by the sudden change of topic and asked in confusion: "Which one? Is there any need to ask? Of course it's the eldest grandmother."
Xu Ranyun shook her head and smiled, "No, no, I heard that the most favored one in the yard now is the big tabby cat. I heard that it even has a set of pots and pans for eating, and fish, meat, chicken, and rice are carefully served every day, and it even takes the effort to give it a bath every day. Hahaha, sister, don't you think this is funny? They raise a cat like a rich lady. Our sister-in-law is also a cat lover. Last time, didn't she want to kill the cat because it bit her Persian cat? The second girl was cowardly and dared not say anything, but she dared to secretly let the cat run away. For this, the second sister-in-law is still upset, but the beast happened to be so lucky that it became the new favorite of Chunfeng Garden. No matter how much the second sister-in-law hates it, there is nothing she can do."
Xue Zhilan's heart moved, and she looked up at Xu Ranyun. As expected, she saw that the other party's eyes were also quite meaningful, so she understood, so she laughed and said, "This is really a joke. No matter how good it is, they are just two beasts. If it is really because of these two beasts, the eldest and second wives will fight. That would be interesting."
Xu Ranyun was relieved to see that Xue Zhilan understood what he meant. He sat and talked for a while, seemingly forgetting his previous sadness. It was not until the sun was high in the sky that he stood up and said goodbye.
As soon as she left, Caisang and Longyan came to Xue Zhilan. Caisang said in a deep voice, "Grandma, it's obvious that Grandma Yun wants you to take the lead again. This is too bullying. Why does she always take the lead? Where is her usual smartness? She has to pretend to be a good person now."
Xue Zhilan's eyes were also full of hatred. She crumpled the home clothes she made for Duan Tingxuan into a ball. After a long while, she gritted her teeth and said, "There's nothing we can do. Didn't you hear what she said? Master just gave the storehouse to Grandma, and he didn't intend to take away her housekeeper's power. But what do we have? Master hasn't come to my place for many days, and he hasn't even been to Aunt Jing's place. Fortunately, Madam likes me and takes care of me. If even Madam favors her, would I still have a place to stand in this mansion? Because of this, there are so many people who are jealous of me. If I lose power, they will be happy to trample on me."
