Chapter 46 Sister-in-law's Pity

But now it's different.

Not to mention that she would be moving to the general's mansion that same day, this matter was originally caused by the disagreement between her and her husband, so naturally she should solve it herself.

So, he smiled and comforted her.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law and eighth sister. I have sent the people away safely. No one from the fifth room will come to cause trouble again."

When she said this, her tone was very firm, and there was some inexplicable calculation in her eyes.

This person always has to pay a price for his greed.

Otherwise, wouldn't it always be the case that "good people are bullied" and "evil people are left alone"? Thinking of this, I smiled even more happily.

Sister-in-law Liu didn't understand why, but she always felt that there was something creepy in her smile.

So, he said with a frown.

"What method did my sister-in-law use?"

At this time, Nanny Dou came forward anxiously, bowed to Du Jingyi and the eldest young master's wife Liu, and said.

"Young Madam sent them a hundred taels of silver. I am afraid that I will not have peace in the future."

"What?"

The eldest sister-in-law Liu exclaimed, one hundred taels of silver is not a lot, but also not a little.

But she had always held on tightly in order to prevent people from the third and fifth rooms from getting involved.

But now, Du Jingyi has let it slip.

Liu naturally knew that her dowry was not cheap; it could be seen from the fine things in this room.

But these people are not the type to live a peaceful life after receiving the money. I am afraid they will get into trouble in the future.

Sister-in-law Liu looked at Du Jingyi, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

There is worry and anger in his eyes.

But at this moment, she was blaming herself more, and was sincerely worried about Dong Yuan's future, so she opened her mouth and spoke.

"I came too late and didn't explain their affairs to you clearly, so this happened... Madam Dou, when people from Beiyuan come over in the future, please send someone to call me over, so that they won't bother my sister-in-law again!"

With just one sentence, Madam Dou's face instantly turned unhappy.

She knew very well that it was because of her words that the eldest young lady said such words, and she suddenly felt a little guilty towards Du Jingyi.

She was afraid that Du Jingyi, who had just taken over the family business, would be "slapped in the face" like this, which would damage her dignity in the future, so she looked over with concern.

But Du Jingyi is not someone who can't understand good or bad words.

If it were an ordinary family, they would probably think that the eldest sister-in-law Liu was trying to seize power, but she knew that this sister-in-law was the most disciplined.

On the second day after her husband Shang Ji came back, she told Butler He and Nanny Dou that all matters of the East Garden should be handed over to Du Jingyi.

After all, in the future, it will still be the couple who will be in charge of the household.

From then on, he lived a quiet life in Fuqiu Courtyard without any deliberate attempt to make things difficult for others.

However, this is something that the elders are used to doing, and it won’t change in a short time.

Over the years, she always felt that the people in Dongyuan had not grown up yet and were still babies who needed her protection.

Therefore, he would rush to Xitangyuan as soon as something happened and take all the responsibilities on himself.

Seeing this, Du Jingyi understood, and Eighth Sister Xueniang also understood, and her eyes became red.

I just suppressed my emotions and didn't let the tears flow.

The whole room was filled with gloom, and everyone was wondering how to deal with the situation next.

But this does not include Du Jingyi and her maids Yingtao and Lizhu.

Especially cherries.

The relationship between her and Du Jingyi as master and servant could not be deeper.

Therefore, she could tell what Du Jingyi wanted to do with just a glance, and naturally she would help him.

So, seeing this situation, she stepped forward and wanted to explain, but Du Jingyi shook his head in the dark.

Some things are too early to say now.

It won’t be too late to reveal it once everything is settled.

Seeing that her young mistress was so determined, Cherry did not insist any further.

"You must be tired after all the hard work this early in the morning. I'll take Xue Niang back first. You should take a good rest. OK?"

Du Jingyi nodded and replied with a smile.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I know how to take care of myself."

Hearing her words, sister-in-law Liu didn't say much.

They have lived under the same roof for three years, and she has never treated herself badly.

Sister-in-law Liu understood this, so she got up and left with Xue Niang.

After they left, Nanny Dou came forward, suddenly knelt down and spoke with great self-blame.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Madam, I have overstepped my bounds. I couldn't control my mouth when I saw the eldest Madam. Please punish me, Madam."

Her attitude was respectful, but Du Jingyi did not answer her immediately.

Logically speaking, I should have explained the matter to my sister-in-law myself, but Nanny Dou's sudden interruption obviously made the whole thing go in another direction.

Originally, she was going to tell everyone about her plan, but no one gave her the chance.

Speaking of which, it is naturally for the sake of Dongyuan and Du Jingyi.

But after all, Du Jingyi was somewhat embarrassed.

The most taboo thing in this noble compound is for servants to bully their masters.

In the past, Nanny Dou had always kept this rule in mind, but today, for some reason, she suddenly blurted out something.

Therefore, I am still a little dazed.

Du Jingyi understood clearly what was going on in his mind. Ultimately, it was because he didn't trust her enough to handle the matter.

So there is no point in saying more, everything will have to wait until later.

Once they see with their own eyes that I am indeed capable of taking on the position of housekeeper, they will naturally stop interfering too much.

After all, if she wanted to employ such competent maids and housekeepers, she naturally had to make them convinced.

Otherwise, if you only rely on your status to suppress others, you never know when the backlash will come.

She understands this better than anyone else.

So she asked Yingtao to help Nanny Dou to stand up, and then spoke in a soothing tone.

"Mammy, you are doing this for my own good. It's just that you spoke too quickly. It's okay."

Du Jingyi's non-blame made Madam Dou feel even more guilty.

But even so, deep down in her heart, she still preferred to let the eldest lady, Madam Liu, handle the matters of the third and fifth rooms, thinking that she would be more reliable.

So, blame yourself.

If they really come to cause trouble again in the future, she will definitely send the news to Fuqiuyuan as soon as possible.

Du Jingyi also needs to understand this point.

So, he didn't continue to dwell on this matter, but changed the subject to Madam Dou.

"I suddenly want to eat some almond milk soup. Isn't Mammy the best at making this? Could you please help me?"

After hearing this, Madam Dou nodded immediately, and then spoke with a tone of relief.

"Young Madam wants to eat, I will make it right away."

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Ma'am."

After saying this, Nanny Dou retreated respectfully.
