Who Cares

jewelry, her gorgeous face, and her graceful elegant were the best decoration and also the most dazzling halo.

Ye Fan, who was instantly reduced to a foil, smiled very reluctantly, and it was not until Zhao Chunxi and Zhao Wangshu ran to see her happily after hearing the news that she finally regained some confidence.
The three of them had a good time reminiscing about the old days, and they put the old madam and Guan Suyi aside and ignored them.

In a quarter of an hour Guan Suyi completed a pot of flower ball, and let the maid put it on the low table by the window, cleaned her hands, and wiped off the water while slowly saying, “Xi’er, you came to the main courtyard a quarter an hour late to pay respect today, I have already remind your four maidservants and asked them to hasten constantly, but if they fail to serve their master, they all will be deducted this month’s monthly silver.
If they commit the crime again, they will be deducted from the next month, and if there is a third time, they all will be sold.”

This sentence broke the bubble of happiness in the room.
The three people’s voices stopped abruptly, except for the four senior maids who knelt down in unison, followed by a series of pleading guilty and ask for forgiveness.
In today’s Marquis Zhenbei Mansion, no one dared to challenge the authority of the mistress, even the old madam kept her mouth shut and stood on the sidelines.

“At present, although spring is approaching, the weather is still very cold.
It doesn’t matter if it’s late a moment or two in the morning.
Madam punishes Xi’er like this, afraid it’s too severe, right? I was fostered by my aunt since I was a child, and she always sympathize with me, and in the middle of the winter of the twelfth month, I am excused from paying respect…”

Ye Fan was interrupted by Guan Suyi before she finished speaking, “That’s why you can’t get married when you already twenty-four.
When others look for a daughter-in-law, the most important thing is not her appearance, but her virtue.
If a person is not filial to the elders of her own family, how can they expect her to be filial to the elders of other family? Serving the parents-in-law, assist the husband and educate the children are the duties that a mistress should fulfill, and it doesn’t matter if the other point is not good.
Seeing Xi’er is about to discuss marriage, even if she is unwilling in her heart, she has to put on a filial piety appearance, otherwise when someone from another family come to inquire and learn that she is not even close to her own grandmother, let alone pay respect and accompany her, how can they expect her to be filial to their elders and obedient to her husband after getting married? Is this marrying a daughter-in-law or an ancestor?”

Seeing Ye Fan biting her lip and holding back her anger, Guan Suyi chuckled and stabbed deeper, “For women, especially unmarried women, reputation is very important.
Sister Ye must have a deep understanding of this point.”

The old madam softened her face and made another stab, “Suyi is willing to discipline her children, that is their blessing, and it’s not an outsider’s turn to intervene.
Zhao Chunxi, If you don’t like to see me, don’t come, you don’t need to force it.”

Seeing that her grandmother had clearly expressed her dissatisfaction with herself, if she said a few words outside, who would dare to come to ask for marriage? Zhao Chunxi once again realized that Guan Suyi’s words were correct, and immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty, saying that she would never dare again next time.
It was at this moment that Zhao Luli and Liu shi walked in.
One was ashamed because of his daughter’s ignorance, while the other held a grudge because of Guan Suyi’s suppression.

Little bitch, wait until Ye Fan enters the door and see how you fall! Thinking like this, Liu shi chatted a few words with the old madam, then said goodbye, but before leaving, she cast a contemptuous and pitying look at Guan Suyi.
Zhao Chunxi knew that her mom and grandmother had done what she asked for, and she couldn’t help feeling very happy.

Zhao Luli felt very guilty towards his new wife, but he couldn’t stand Liu shi‘s soft and hard pressure.
He had no alternative but to invite the old madam to the inner hall to speak, and tried to send others away.
Guan Suyi pretended to not understand, and stayed outside to drink tea as usual.
Zhao Chunxi also stayed while waiting to see her jokes, but Zhao Wangshu was ignorant and went to play on his own.

“There seems to be a commotion inside, mother, why don’t you go in and take a look?” Zhao Chunxi pretended to be worried.

“It’s nothing, how can there be an overnight feud between mother and son.” Guan Suyi smiled lightly.

After half an hour, Zhao Luli came out first, saw his new wife was still there, his cheeks flushed red, then paled, and then gave her a deep bow.
The old madam followed closely, scolding with her crutch, “Unfilial son, get out of here!”

“I’m sorry.” It was unknown who this sentence was addressed to, but the when words fell, the person had already gone far, the back looked quite embarrassed.

The old madam collapsed on the soft chair, and she said with tears, “Suyi, you are a good daughter-in-law, our Zhao family have let you down! I am old, and these children have hard wings, I really can’t control it.
If I’m not here, please take care of marquis mansion, don’t let it fall apart, collapse, defeated…”

“Old madam, you are too worried.” Guan Suyi patted the back of her hand and said calmly, “Does lord marquis want to take Ye Fan as a concubine?”

“You know?” The old madam raised her head suddenly, as if thinking of something, and sighed, “You are so smart, how can you not see through the Ye family’s little tricks.
That’s right, they want to send Ye Fan in, I couldn’t stop it.” When the words fell she glared at Zhao Chunxi.

As soon as Zhao Chunxi’s eyes showed a hint of happiness, she heard Guan Suyi disapprovingly said, “Then let him accept her.
On the day when Ye Fan enter the door, I will send my maid Mingfang too, and make it a double happiness.
Old madam, what do you think? Mingfang has served me since she was a child, and she has an extraordinary relationship with me, so I will remove her slave status and give her a few acres of land and a small courtyard.
This way, she can be regarded as a good family woman with a serious dowry and she can be a noble concubine like Ye Fan.”

These words shocked the old madam and Zhao Chunxi, and after a while, one turned anger into joy, and the other almost choked to death.

After the Ye family shoved their daughter in, Guan Suyi immediately promoted her maid too.
The two were both noble concubines.
Wasn’t this equivalent to slapping the Ye family in the face? The face were all gone! This move was damaging, very damaging indeed, and it’s unknown what Ye Fan’s expression would look like when that day comes.

The old madam swept away the previous depression, and said, “Yes, both of them are acceptable, so they can spread branches and scatter leaves for my marquis mansion.
Your maid is really good, I will give her some more dowry.”

Guan Suyi pursed her lips and smiled, letting Mingfang, who was already out of her soul, quickly kowtow to the old madam.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law completely forgot to ask Zhao Luli’s opinion.
Of course, even if he didn’t want to, Guan Suyi had a thousand ways to make him nod.
