Chapter 212 Arrival of the Family Head
Upon hearing this, Xiang Minghou glanced at Ye Qianning. The little girl was very young, and she had to go through so many things. It seemed that there had not been a single day of peace in the general's mansion since she came to it. He felt guilty in his heart.
"General Xiang, if you trust me, let me take care of the General's Mansion temporarily." Madam Zhan stepped forward, her face full of worry and sincerity.
Marquis Xiang Ming raised his eyes. He had respected Madam Zhan since he was a child. When he went to the Zhan family as a child, he often played around her knees.
No matter how crazy he and Zhan Chi quarreled, or how fiercely they fought, Madam Zhan never blamed him. She always spoke softly and explained the reason to them.
"If General Xiang doesn't trust me..."
"I believe it." Xiang Minghou interrupted her.
Madam Zhan was a little surprised. Why was he so straightforward?
However, when she thought of Xiang Minghou when he was a child, a look of heartache appeared on her face. Since she grew up to be a teenager, she had not seen Xiang Minghou for many years.
He must be feeling very uncomfortable because his father is not around and he was hurt so badly by his own mother.
How could she have the nerve to ask for her granddaughter when the other person had suffered a great disaster? She could only help deal with the affairs of the mansion first, and then talk about the granddaughter after the other person recovered.
Ye Qianning was also very confused. His father was very strict with Zhan Chi, so why did he hand over the general's mansion to Madam Zhan just because of her two words?
Zhan Chi felt that Xiang Minghou must be terminally ill. Could it be that he couldn't even recognize people?
Zhan Yi stroked his beard with great satisfaction. His wife was temporarily taking care of the affairs of the general's mansion, so it was a good opportunity for them to move in and see their eldest granddaughter every day.
The general's mansion was temporarily handed over to Madam Zhan to manage. One day, the maids and servants in the mansion went back as usual, and the people surrounding the door were persuaded to go back as night fell.
Zhan Yi and Zhan Chi found an empty room and moved in without Xiang Minghou knowing.
Ye Qianning also admired Lei Lifengxing, the mistress of the Zhan family. He heard that when he went to see the old lady in the afternoon, the old lady was scolded by him so badly that she couldn't even lift her head.
It’s hard to imagine that someone with such a graceful demeanor can be just as harsh when it comes to scolding others.
Xiang Mingli has not woken up yet. Although the two children are being looked after by maids in the yard, they have heard some rumors. From time to time, they can hear Xiang Siyan's scolding and Zhenzhu's crying.
Ye Qianning was also very confused about how to deal with this. Xiang Mingli was not from the Xiang family, and she had not yet told her father. She was afraid that he would be angry, so this matter had to be delayed.
The second day.
At dawn, the people who had dispersed yesterday gathered at the gate of the general's mansion again, cursing the old lady and demanding that the general hand over the person.
The noise grew louder and louder, and the news spread for another day. People outside the city knew about it and rushed to the gate of the general's mansion overnight. The number of people was less than twice that of yesterday.
Mrs. Zhan is in charge of household affairs, but these matters are still a bit tricky, and if public anger is not handled properly, the situation will be very serious.
"What should we do?" Liu stood next to Madam Zhan and panicked whenever something happened.
"It's okay, just wait a little longer." Madam Zhan said.
Liu was puzzled: "Waiting for what?"
"I asked the people in the General's Mansion about what happened yesterday, and they didn't spread it. It spread early yesterday morning. There must be someone behind it."
"Then... could it be that someone is trying to harm our general? Madam, please think of a way." Liu started crying again.
"Don't cry, it's not necessarily a bad thing."
Madam Zhan sighed inwardly. Madam Xiang was a good person, but someone with such a weak character was not fit to handle a big family like the General's Mansion.
Ye Qianning stood not far away and looked at Liu, feeling helpless. He hoped that she could learn something from Madam Zhan in the next few days.
If it doesn't work, I'll teach you slowly in the future...
Being too weak in Kyoto will only make you get slaughtered!
"Dong Dong Dong Dong"
There was a rapid knock on the door.
