C7 Calf Knife

Although there was still a lone seedling of the Marquis' Mansion named Che Lingjun, since the young duke was going to have a happy occasion, he naturally couldn't be careless.

The old mistress' command caused the entire house to take action. The buyer, the buyer, the producer of new clothes, the owner of the house, the person who set up the yard, and the person who discussed the guest list, all of them walked quickly, wishing that there were two of them to use it on their own.

However, the entire manor wasn't as festive and lively as the festive events of others.

The maidservants all had worried looks on their faces. It was as if everyone was hiding thousands of words that could not be spoken.

Everyone walked with their heads down, their tails between their legs, doing their own things to avoid being punished.

It was no wonder. The marquis was already a fool, and when Guan Xiaoyu had been brought in that day, most of the servants had seen her ugly appearance. Who could be happy after seeing such a marriage?

He really didn't know what the madame was thinking.

Guan Xiaoyu did not care about these things as she was given a new identity. Although she felt that he was a professional manager, a staff counselor or something of the sort, but the madame said that he was a new strategist hired by the house of the Marquis. From now on, apart from military power, all matters within the house were managed by her. Her authority was so great that it was only second to the madame.

Such an army would naturally infuriate some people, and Qi Jiabao and Dong Qing Er would be the ones to bear the brunt of it.

Qi Jiabao had previously said that he was the steward of the Qi Residence, and was in charge of the internal affairs of the house of the Marquis.

Guan Xiaoyu had seen many people in her past life and knew that this man was not a very good manager. He had been the butler of the Qi family for generations, so the old mistress must have worried a lot about him.

Dong Qing Er was the old woman's concubine. She was smart and considerate and had a proper appearance, making her a favorite of the old lady.

As the young duke of the Che family grew up, the old mistress began to worry for the son of the Che family.

A rich and powerful family, especially one with a hereditary title, paid particular attention to their heirs. Ordinary people would've long since married and taken in concubines for their children, but the young duke had to pretend to be a fool.

The Old Mistress did not wish to cause any trouble, so she assigned Dong Qing'er to Cha Lingjun, who was now a concubine and wanted to carry her grandson. If Che Lingjun were to accidentally reveal his "true face", Dong Qing Er could be considered one of his men. As long as he gave her some pointers, she would not have to worry.

However, the madame's plan had failed.

After a few years, Dong Qing Er's stomach still had no reaction.

It was unknown whether it was because the young duke had been playing dumb for too long, but he was truly stunned. He clearly possessed a strong and robust physique, and had not even glanced at Dong Qing Er for a few years.

The madame had mentioned it to him many times, but he had not moved, even though he still seemed to agree. The old mistress had her own difficulties that she couldn't speak of. She couldn't just tie up the young duke and send him to bed so that he could be taken lightly!

As the old mistress grew older and weaker, the number of people who could use the house of the Marquis dwindled. The madame saw that Dong Qing Er had some tricks up her sleeve, and in order to comfort her, she was promoted to become a member of the main family. This position was equivalent to that of a current assistant and had some authority over the business.

Dong Qing Er had been doing well and had achieved some results, but Guan Xiao Yu's sudden emergence had changed her boss, and the ugly and retarded woman was now the real wife of the young marquis. Her relationship with the young marquis was not good, and her career was not going well.

Currently, Guan Xiaoyu was sitting in the tent, disguised as Ninth Master and wearing a mask. She was reading Hou Mansion's account book. Qi Jiabao and Dong Qing Er, the two stewards from both sides, were standing in front of her, waiting for her response.

Doing business was Guan Xiaoyu's old business. Although the method of keeping accounts was different from what she was used to, there was no problem for her to get familiar with it.

Guan Xiaoyu pushed aside the pile of expenses Qi Jiabao had given to her, then turned to Dong Qing'er with a smile that was not a smile, "Leader Dong, let me ask you, what is the business of the house?"

Dong Qing Er's face was filled with disdain as she replied stiffly, "The Hou Mansion has a variety of businesses, including restaurants, inns, silks, jewelry, shipping and embroidery."

Guan Xiaoyu already knew that there would be some people who would be unconvinced when she suddenly went on duty. However, as long as they didn't say anything and obediently worked, she didn't have the time to take care of them.

With a profound smile, her beautiful eyes glittered as she asked, "Have you given me all these account books?"

Dong Qing Er revealed an impatient expression, "This place was only used for the last quarter. The inn, the silk, and everything else is under the control of the old mistress. They are not with me."

Her words were emotionless, as if she was setting off firecrackers. Crack, crack, crack. After saying that, her eyelids rolled up, as if she didn't put Guan Xiaoyu in her eyes at all.

When Guan Xiaoyu heard this, she revealed a smile that was not a smile.

Part of what Dong Qing Er said was the truth.

In the mountainous regions of the State of Mu, more than four-fifths of the country was covered by mountain forests, so it was inconvenient to travel on land. The Dom River was the main transportation hub of the Wood Country. The Grand Canal ran through the East and West of the Wood Country with its numerous tributaries. Almost all of the major cities of the Wood Country were built on the main tributaries of the Dom River, because shipping was the main means of transportation of the Wood Country.

In addition to the most common rare treasures, the jewellery industry also included mystical stones.

Previously, when Guan Xiaoyu had heard that all her money had been spent on mystical stones, she had not even taken a single additional coat. At that time, Guan Xiaoyu had thought that her words were just an exaggeration. From the investigation conducted over the past two days, Guan Xiaoyu came to the conclusion that the mystical stones were outrageously expensive.

A normal Level 3 mystical stone was equivalent to a year's worth of income for an ordinary family. If they were to come across an expensive one, they wouldn't even be able to afford a small aristocratic family.

As such, shipping and jewelry were firmly in the old mistress' hands. This was understandable, as what Guan Xiaoyu cared about was Dong Qing'er's attitude towards her.

If he could not even obey one of his subordinates, how could he carry out this task?

Furthermore, it was said that this Dong Qing Er was the Little Marquis's concubine, and was also her love rival …

Hehe!

Guan Xiaoyu stretched out her delicate hands and gracefully washed them in a silver basin before using a handkerchief to wipe them dry. She channeled some of the Fa Li in her body and focused it on the tip of her finger. Suddenly, a fireball the size of an egg was ignited.

She shifted her gaze to Dong Qing Er.

"The madame left the whole Residence of Zhenyuan in my charge. You know about this, right?" As she spoke, her five fingers moved nimbly, and the ball of fire moved back and forth between her fingers like an acrobatic.

This move of hers had obviously intimidated the two of them.

So it was an Adept!

Adepts weren't people that could be easily offended, to say nothing of others. Adepts were a valuable resource of every country, and had the special right to kill people without breaking the law.

"I know!" The two were so scared that their hearts were jumping out of their chests. For a moment, they didn't even have the courage to speak anymore.

"Very good!" "Guan Xiaoyu pursed her lips to the side." Since it is all business, it includes both internally and externally, as well as the person who manages it. "

"I've never liked to cause trouble. If others don't give me trouble, I naturally won't cause trouble for others either." She paused. "But if someone wants to make life difficult for me …"

Suddenly, she waved her hand and the fireball flew away from her fingertips, piercing through the door five to six meters away.

Dong Qing Er was so angry that her entire body trembled, but she did not dare to say anything. Seeing this, Qi Jia Bao hurriedly expressed his thoughts. We know that the madame has already told us to cooperate with your work. "

"It's good that you know this. Let's go down first. I still need to study the account books." Guan Xiaoyu dismissed her subordinates and continued working.

After leaving the tent, Dong Qing'er and Qi Jia Bao leisurely walked on the car garden's gravel path.

Both of them had something on their minds, so they did not leave first.

Qi Jiabao held his hands behind his back, his face gloomy and breathing heavily through his nose.

Dong Qing Er had already recovered from her initial shock and displayed an expression of deep meaning.

"Manager Qi, it seems like our future days will not be so good." Dong Qing Er was the first to speak.

"It's not easy, so what? The Qi family has received a great debt of gratitude from the madame for generations. My father told me to help the madame. Even if there were no merits, I can't back down."

"That is true, but no one can do anything about it. Destroy the heavens and the earth!" You and I have worked hard for so many years, but in the end we won't even be able to get money for our meals. " Dong Qing'er twisted her waist, purposely revealing the curves of her body.

"Madam Dong, you can't speak carelessly!" Qi Jiabao couldn't help but stare at Dong Qing'er's plump butt.

Dong Qing Er stopped and turned around, revealing an aggrieved expression on her face.

"Brother Xiao Qi, as servants of the house of the Marquis, we grew up together. Why have we become strangers today?" "You called me Madam Dong, and I called you Manager Qi. It's a thousand miles and a thousand miles …" With that, she stretched out a pair of jade-like hands and quietly pulled Qi Jiabao tightly.

Qi Jiabao was startled and shook off her hand like a hot potato.

"Madam Dong, please don't do this! You have already been granted the title of young master by the madame, and I am now the housekeeper of the house of the Marquis! "

"Madam Dong!" You should also know how to address me as Madam Dong and not the Young Madam. What do you think is so good about that ugly and silly old lady? Why do you think that dog-shit Master Purifier would agree to this bullshit marriage?

Dong Qing Er's words revealed her true feelings. She bit her red lips, and tears welled up in her eyes. She looked quite charming. Qi Jiabao was a very honest and stiff person. Seeing Dong Qing'er like this, he clearly knew that he shouldn't have, but he still said something disrespectful to her in broad daylight.

"Even if others die from laughter, it's not up to us to say anything. We just have to do our duty."

"You're quite open-minded!" Dong Qing'er said with tears in her eyes, "Duty?" What is duty? "To tell you the truth, ever since the madame gave me to young master, young master hasn't touched me. My life has been miserable."

"Brother Wei, you know that I mean you …" The more she said, the more anxious she became. In the end, her soft body was leaning on Qi Jiabao's body.

Qi Jiabao was scared out of his wits. He couldn't get rid of the tentacles, but he felt as if they were soft meat. His heart was beating fast.

"Madam Dong, don't be like this. If we let the madame know, we wouldn't be able to survive." With that, she pushed Dong Qing Er away, not caring about Dong Qing Er's reaction.

Dong Qing Er staggered as she watched Qi Jiabao's fleeing figure.
