"Oh, did I say that I wanted to change the rules set by Mother?" Wanqiu asked her with a smile. Concubine An, did you say that you wanted to change the rules of this residence?”
" Of course not, Eldest Miss," Aunt An replied immediately." I just want to understand the situation in the residence so that it's easier to manage."”
"What about you, Concubine Ke?" Wanqiu asked.”
" The Old Lady instructed me to assist Concubine An," said Concubine Ke softly with her head lowered." Naturally, I followed Concubine An's instructions. However, I've never heard Concubine An say anything similar."”
Under normal circumstances, when a new master took charge of the residence, he would always make some new rules to show that he was different from others and was swift and decisive. He believed that An Wan 'er's purpose was also the same, but she really did not say it out loud. Cai Mama was stunned." I thought…"
"Oh…So the servants in this residence are already smart enough to guess what the master is thinking? Or are you teaching me how to do things?”Wan Qiu said coldly.
Cold sweat broke out on Mrs. Cai's forehead, and she looked a little panicked. What the young miss said was completely different from what she thought. If this continued, wouldn't she be the one in the wrong? However, she had nothing to be afraid of. Madam had said that she would stand up for her! Thinking of this, she straightened her back and mustered up her courage to say,"What are you talking about, Young Miss? This old servant is just reminding you so that Furen won't blame you if something goes wrong…"
Wan Qiu stared at Mother Cai, and her gentle voice had a chilling tone to it.""So I have to thank you for teaching me how to do things? It seems that I, the eldest daughter of the Lu family, am not as good as you, a mother in charge. Do I have to trouble you to guide me? Why don't we do this? I'll go and inform the old lady. From tomorrow onwards, you'll be in charge of the Lu residence. The others will listen to your orders, okay?”
When Cai Mama heard this, she broke out in a cold sweat. The young miss had such a powerful mouth. She felt that she had been completely tricked. She immediately knelt down and said in a trembling voice,"I wouldn't dare. I definitely didn't mean that.”
" I thought you were here to help me and Aunt An," Wan Qiu said coldly." But now it seems like you are here to be our masters."”
Cai Mama's back was covered in sweat as she said,"" This old servant wouldn't dare, this old servant wouldn't dare…" Her tone changed very quickly. This old servant was here so quickly. Wan Qiu sneered in her heart.
Qin Zhu saw that the situation wasn't looking good, so she laughed and said,""Mrs. Cai is too old to talk nonsense. Don't blame me!"
Wan Qiu said slowly and calmly,""Yesterday, the Old Lady said that there were too many people in the residence and that she wanted to send out those who were talkative and did not do anything. Since Mother Cai is old, she should go back and retire.”
Cai Mama quivered and quickly said,"Young miss is right. This old servant was muddle-headed for a moment and won't dare to do it again. In the future, whatever you say, we will do it!”
Wan Qiu smiled lightly and a cold light flashed in her eyes."Cai Mama, can you remember what you said? Don't forget it when you turn around."
"I won't dare to forget! I don't dare! I wouldn't dare!" Cai Mama kept kowtowing, and her forehead was bruised. Wanqiu waved her hand casually, and she hurriedly retreated, drenched in cold sweat.
Wanqiu slowly leaned back into the high-back chair and sipped her tea." If you can't remember this in the future, this residence can't afford it."”
Initially, everyone thought that Wan Qiu was just a child who was easy to deal with when they saw her soft and weak appearance. Who knew that she would smile lightly and reprimand them. She did not even lose her temper or say anything more, and she managed to calm the scene.
In this way, no one dared to say anything. Aunt An saw the silence below and for the first time experienced the feeling of being respected by someone in a higher position. She immediately felt a sense of joy, as if she was part of that respect.
Wan Qiu saw the corners of An Wan 'er's mouth curl up slightly and sneered in her heart. If you think that Miss Chen only has this little trick to obstruct you, you're too naive. This is just the beginning.
He then turned to look at Concubine Ke. She was still in that submissive posture, making it impossible for others to see through her intentions. This Concubine Ke was quite capable. She definitely could not be underestimated.
"Aunt An, ask whatever you want to ask. The people standing here are all old people. They won't bully a new aunt like you. Otherwise, no one can get past the old lady and father!”After Wan Qiu finished speaking, she no longer spoke and lowered her head to drink tea.
Although Aunt An had been doted on by Lu Shiyuan after she entered the house, she was always suppressed by Miss Chen. She had never felt so awe-inspiring before. She could not help but laugh when she heard this."Then please tell me about the situation in this mansion.”
Qin Zhu took a step forward and said carefully,""Yes."
Wan Qiu raised her eyes and said casually,""General Manager Qin, you'd better talk about the important things. Don't delay the time we have to report to the old lady.”
Qin Zhu's heart trembled, and she bent over.""Yes, Young Miss."
He now had a hint of realization that this usually secretive Eldest Miss was not so easy to fool. He put all his effort into telling everyone about their tasks in the residence, and then picked out the important things in the residence and explained them clearly.
Aunt An took the name list from General Manager Qin. When she looked at Wan Qiu again, the smile on her face suddenly became more sincere.
After Qin Zhu was done, Aunt An turned around and asked Wan Qiu,""Young miss, do you have any instructions?”
Wan Qiu nodded and asked Qin Zhu,""Are the accounts ready?"
Qin Zhu was stunned. He didn't expect Wan Qiu to want to look at the accounts. However, he was prepared."Miss, I'll sort out the account books immediately and send them over personally in the afternoon.”
Aunt An was even happier when she heard that." Thank you, Manager Qin."”
Before Qin Zhu could say that there was no need to be polite, she heard Wan Qiu say indifferently,""General Manager Qin, you are an old man in this residence. Before sending the account book to Aunt An, you must have already sorted out the categories and selected them.”
Qin Zhu's heart trembled again. Eldest Miss was really not easy to deal with. If he had sent the account books over there in bundles, they would not know what to do at all. But now that Wanqiu had already said that she wanted to select, he really had to put in some effort. He immediately replied,"Of course, Miss."
"Then let's go." Wan Qiu stood up and walked out. Concubine An quickly followed…The people in the remaining hall looked at each other. Wasn't Concubine An the one who was in charge? Why did everyone completely ignore Concubine An when Eldest Miss sat there…
"Young miss, thank you very much. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't have been able to suppress these people. " In the future…" Aunt An followed behind Wan Qiu carefully. There was a hint of caution in her tone that she did not realize.
Wan Qiu smiled." There's no need to be so polite, Aunt. I only have one thing to say. A large family has many people and many mouths." As long as you were in charge, there would be people who would say that you were doing idle work, and there would be people who would find fault and make trouble. Remember, the old lady is your backing.”
Aunt An watched Wan Qiu leave in a daze, almost speechless. Why did she feel that this girl in front of her did not look like she was eleven years old at all? It was just a few simple words, but the stakes were clear. But since she understood everything, why did she still help him…
