Chapter 272 It’s time for this drama to begin
Yuchuan was so proud in her heart. Although leaving the mansion was the girl's wish, Lin Wanhui had been jumping around for too long.
Gu Changqing had no feelings for the old couple at all. The girl was about to get a divorce, but he still wanted to keep Lin Wanhui. This made Yuchuan and even the entire Hexi Su family very unhappy.
The final outcome was that the clan elders stopped trying to persuade them and just let them divorce. What was there to persuade? Gu Changqing had slapped the entire Su family on the left cheek, so did they have to extend their right cheek to let him continue hitting them?
So, leave, leave, leave quickly!
Seeing Lin Wanhui still jumping around, Yuchuan was also angry, but she could only say that the concubine that the Marquis' Mansion got this time was really great. Look, Lin Wanhui, she can't jump around anymore!
Yuchuan was happy and couldn't help looking at Su Jin, only to see her own girl sitting quietly on the chaise longue and petting the cat, while Dingdang was snoring comfortably with her eyes half closed, and Su Jin's expression was also indifferent. If you didn't know, you would think these two were the same kind.
"Girl is unhappy?"
Yuchuan was a little confused.
Su Jin smiled and said, "There's nothing to be happy or unhappy about. We have already left the mansion a long time ago. No matter what the people inside have become, it doesn't matter anymore. We just need to close the door and live our lives well."
"That being said..."
Yuchuan also felt that her daughter was becoming more and more generous. It turned out that people had to go through many things before they could grow up.
Thinking back to when the girl first entered the Marquis' Mansion, she was full of vigor and vitality, with a smile on her face every day. After Lin Wanhui came in, the girl seldom smiled anymore, and all that was left was endless quarrels. But now, the girl seemed to be alive again, just like a fresh flower that has experienced a cold winter and bloomed with more beautiful flowers in the spring of the following year, which made Yuchuan feel a lot more gratified.
"But I'm still happy. Lin Wanhui, someone finally took care of her. She deserved it. Bah! The bed-climbing thing!"
Yuchuan gritted her teeth, and all her hatred towards Lin Wanhui was completely vented at this moment.
As for what's going on in the Marquis' Mansion, few people here really care about it.
Gu Sui Yu and Gu Zilu both already live with her, and the legitimate son is no longer in the Marquis' Mansion. As a result, Sun Yuan can be more free to do what she wants.
"Miss, that Qiu refused to go out to buy things, saying that the money you gave her was too little, and that Miss Lin always gave her twice as much!"
The personal maid Xiaoqing frowned and said, cursing as she spoke: "It's just that Lin Xiaoniang's sister-in-law is so arrogant. The whole mansion knows about your housekeeping affairs, but she is just jumping around here. That's a full 100 taels of silver, even if she eats bird's nests and shark fins as rice, it's enough!"
Xiaoqing was so angry that she couldn't take it anymore. Qiu insisted on getting twice as much silver before she was willing to go out to make the purchase. That was two hundred taels of silver. She was blackmailing her. She was really asking for trouble!
Sun Yuan sneered: "She is Lin Wanhui's sister-in-law. She has someone backing her up, so she is naturally arrogant."
Sun Yuan didn't find out that Qiu was Lin Wanhui's sister-in-law until a few days later, because she had taken over Lin Wanhui's power and started to manage the household. However, every time she went to purchase something, something went wrong. What she ordered was not what she bought back.
In other words, this is not the first time that Qiu has gone against Sun Yuan.
The first few times, Sun Yuan endured it, but Qiu thought she was weak and could be bullied. Now she has gone even further and directly doubled the price, asking for two hundred taels?
One hundred taels was more than enough, and maybe there would be one or two taels left over. But Qiu asked for two hundred taels, and she wanted to keep more than a hundred taels for herself!
"Oh, Lin Wanhui has spoiled her younger brother and sister-in-law."
Xiao Qing said, "You don't know, little lady, that Qiu is still clamoring to come to you to seek justice. From the way she looks, she is so arrogant. I'm afraid she is not here to stand up for Lin Wanhui, right?"
"He must be trying to stand up for Lin Wanhui."
After all, she is my brother's sister-in-law, and she has been taking advantage of him for so long. When Lin Wanhui is in charge, it is convenient for Qiu to get benefits. When Lin Wanhui is no longer in charge, Qiu will naturally be unhappy if he cannot get any benefits.
"But it doesn't matter."
Sun Yuan lowered her head and fiddled with her abacus: "The mess in the Marquis' Mansion was caused by Lin Wanhui, so we have to clean it up bit by bit. Since Qiu is so active, let's start with her."
Sun Yuan decided that the first major thing she would do as a housekeeper was to take action against Lin Wanhui's sister-in-law, Qiu.
Besides, Qiu was not a clean person and had a long history of bad deeds, making her easy to control.
For example, she was in charge of purchasing for the Marquis' Mansion, and often spent a large sum of money, but the things she bought were of very poor quality. Also, this woman often took things from the Marquis' Mansion back home to eat and drink, and even secretly took things from the young masters and young ladies' rooms and sold them.
Sun Yuan was patient and asked her maid to inquire about Qiu family. But the result was full of loopholes.
The smile on Qiu's face gradually brightened.
"Alas, I don't know why the former lady of the Marquis' Mansion insisted on getting a divorce. It's just Lin Wanhui, she can be dealt with with a flick of a finger. In the end, she left and let a lowly woman roam around in the mansion. What a waste!"
Sun Yuan scolded Su Jin, thinking that Su Jin was incompetent and a waste. She was a girl from the Hexi Su family, but it seemed that a lady from a famous family was just like this, not as good as herself, a daughter of a merchant family.
Sun Yuan scolded Su Jin, but she didn't understand why Su Jin wanted to leave. As for Lin Wanhui, it was not that Su Jin couldn't deal with her. After all, every time Lin Wanhui wanted to jump around, she was suppressed and beaten by Su Jin. She was just a brainless concubine, how could he not deal with her?
Su Jin left simply because she had no feelings for Gu Changqing anymore. She didn't want to clean up the mess for the Marquis' Mansion and she wanted to live her own life freely. As for Sun Yuan, she had plans for the Marquis' Mansion and she had to do her best for it, even working hard and licking it. It can only be said that people are different and have different loves. Su Jin loves to be alone and free, while Sun Yuan loves to work hard and clean up the mess for Gu Changqing.
Just different demands.
"Little girl, shall we go and take down Qiu now?"
The maid Xiaoqing stretched out her hand to gesture, and Sun Yuan said with a smile: "Why rush? Of course, we should dig a hole first so that she can jump into it herself!"
Xiaoqing understood, and the two of them whispered to each other. Then Xiaoqing turned around and went to make the arrangements.
The power of housekeeper is a good thing. The former lady of the Marquis' Mansion wanted it, and Lin Wanhui wanted it, but now it has been given to Sun Yuan who has just married into the family.
Because she lost her power, Lin Wanhui claimed to be sick and closed the door to see no outsiders. Gu Changqing's reaction to this was no reaction at all.
He could even stay away from Liuting Pavilion for three years and not say a word to Su Jin for three years. So who are you, Lin Wanhui?
Soon, Xiaoqing arranged everything. Sun Yuan sat in the pavilion in the yard, eating snacks while waiting for Qiu, the fish that had fallen into the net.
"Yuan'er, you look so good, would you like to have some tea and snacks here?"
Gu Changqing's laughter could be heard from a distance, and Sun Yuan's smile widened.
Now that Gu Changqing is here, it’s time for this show to begin.
