Chapter 370 Can you do it?
Compared to Mr. Qiao, Mr. Qiao Er was obviously more angry. His emotions were very outward, and his anger and happiness were very obvious.
Song Ci was a little touched, touched that her uncles were so considerate of her.
After getting their answers and chatting about family matters for a while, the two left. Qiao Xianglan held Song Ci's hand, her eyes reddened, "This is all my fault. If I hadn't been so anxious to get along with my family and restore our relationship, I wouldn't have provoked Qiao Yun, the plague god."
Isn't it the plague god?
Song Ci smiled slightly, "Mother, you and the Qiao family are family, connected by blood, so it's natural for you to visit each other. Qiao Yun has bad intentions, but I also have two uncles who love me, and two sisters."
Her words quickly soothed Qiao Xianglan's sadness. When Qiao Yu and Qiao Rui heard that Song Ci had returned, they also rushed to meet him.
After not seeing each other for many days, Qiao Yu, who was already married, tied his hair into a bun like a woman and called Qiao Xianglan "mother".
"Mother, sister." Qiao Yu sat down and looked at the two of them with some confusion. His mother's eyes were red, as if she had been crying.
Song Ci did not hide it from the two of them and told them what Qiao Yun had done at the Pei family. Qiao Rui was furious. "I knew she was not a good person. She kept clamoring to go to the Pei family. What kind of good person would go to live in someone else's house for so long? She is really not a good person."
"What are you going to do now?" Qiao Yu was very worried.
"I plan to let her stay at the Pei family for a while."
Qiao Yu didn't understand. "She framed you, so why did you keep her in the Pei family? Shouldn't you kick her out now?"
Song Ci explained, "She was suffering when she stayed in the Pei family. Madam Pei was suspicious of her and wouldn't treat her well. She was always worried that Madam Pei would take action against her."
Qiao Yu understood.
Qiao Suo said, "She deserved this fate."
Everyone agreed.
After giving her instructions, Song Ci got up and left. Qiao Xianglan brought her some of her favorite food.
Qiao Xianglan: "Your father is about to be eliminated again this year, and he is a little nervous. But Pei Ji told him about the inspector's preferences and temper. He thought about it carefully and said that he has a better chance of success."
Song Ci advised: "Tell Dad not to put so much pressure on himself, his health is more important. If it doesn't work, we can come back next year."
Qiao Xianglan: "That's right. I told your father the same thing."
After the two of them finished talking, Song Ci got on the carriage, and the carriage drove towards the Pei family with a "da da da" sound.
Mrs. Pei was trapped, and Mr. Pei asked her to hand over some of her housekeeping rights, including the kitchen.
Song Ci frowned and looked at the kitchen managers in front of her, listening to their chatter patiently.
"Young Madam, Madam Li in the kitchen is in charge of the shopping, but the vegetables here are not fresh. What do you think we can do?"
The cook complained.
Mother Li angrily scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? I bought the same things as before."
The cook said: "I'm talking nonsense. The dish doesn't look fresh at all. Who knows how much oil and water you consumed?"
The two of them were arguing with each other and almost got into a fight.
Song Ci was not angry either. She looked at them quietly and gave Tian'er a wink after a long time.
"Shut up, what are you making so much noise for!" Tian'er shouted, and the cook and Mother Li shut up.
Mother Li was not very old, about forty years old. Her hair was combed meticulously, the clothes she wore were made of good fabric, and she had a solid gold bracelet on her hand.
With such a bag, it would cost at least thirty taels to get rid of it.
Song Ci took a quick glance and made a judgment in his heart.
Mother Li belongs to Mrs. Pei.
Mother Li said confidently, "Young Madam, I've been in this family for many years and have always been in charge of the purchasing. She's suddenly accusing me now, simply because she wants Young Madam to reprimand me. But I believe I've done nothing wrong. Young Madam is probably sensible and wouldn't accuse anyone wrongly."
Her words were not polite at all, and she clearly meant that if Song Ci punished her, it would be unreasonable.
The cook said nothing, just quietly watching Song Ci's expression and movements.
Song Ci thought for a moment and said, "Where's the account book? Let me see it."
Mother Li was stunned. She didn't expect that she would suddenly want to see the account book. She hesitated and said, "I don't have the account book with me. If the young lady wants to see it, I will bring it to you later."
Song Ci: "Then I'll have to trouble you to bring it back."
When Mother Li saw that she really wanted it, a hint of displeasure flashed across her face.
All these years have passed, and even the Madam has never checked the account books, so what is the point of the Young Madam?
The lady was locked up, but she was still the head of the family.
Mother Li thought this through clearly, and the nervousness on her face disappeared without a trace. She was the lady's person, and the young lady couldn't control her.
Song Ci noticed the change in her expression but didn't point it out.
You have to eat slowly, and clean up your subordinates slowly as well.
She is not in a hurry, because you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
She has plenty of time and patience.
The next day, the food was finally delivered an hour after breakfast time, and the food looked very bad.
Song Ci looked at the food without saying a word, "What's going on with the food today?"
Wanxiang said angrily, "It's still that Madam Li. She said she got sick when she went home yesterday. She's old and not feeling well. She can't get up. Her people are the ones doing the shopping. Everyone says they can't do anything about it and can only wait for Madam Li to come back and make the decision. The food in the kitchen is made with leftovers."
Song Ci: "Yeah, I understand."
Wanxiang was surprised, "Young Madam, they clearly did it on purpose, why aren't you angry?"
Song Ci smiled at her, "Why should I be angry? They want to deliberately provoke and make things difficult for us, just to make us angry and make us lose our composure. If that's the case, we've been fooled."
After hearing this, Wanxiang felt a little calmer.
Wanxiang: "But we can't just sit there and wait for death."
Song Ci: "Who said we should just sit there and wait for death? Tell our mother who came to seek refuge with us before that we need her to go on a mission."
Wanxiang immediately went to call someone.
After the mother came to Pei Ji's yard, she had been taking care of unimportant chores such as flowers and plants. When she heard that someone was looking for her for something, she came immediately.
Mother Rong was very respectful, "Young Madam, what do you want from me?"
Song Ci: "Mother Rong, you said you used to work in the kitchen? Do you know anything about shopping?"
Mother Rong pondered for a moment, then a look of surprise flashed across her face. "Young Madam, are you suggesting that I, an old servant, take over the shopping?"
Song Ci: "I do think so. Madam Li, who is in charge of purchasing, is ill and can't take care of her. Now the mansion is in chaos."
Mother Rong: "Mother Li? She belongs to Madam Pei."
Song Ci: "Mom is a smart person. You know some things without me having to tell you. Madam Li is ill, but life in the mansion must go on. I can't let my father-in-law and the eldest and second masters eat stale food, right? So I need you to go to the kitchen and take over the shopping. Can you do it?"
