Marrying into a rich family by mistake, it is difficult to be a mistress

Chapter 416: Scolding the Stupid Woman, Shortsighted

Recently, the Luo family has been running around trying to find a job for Luo Jixun.

However, in the current situation, no matter what position you are in, you must be selected and have the ability to do the job.

Moreover, there are more than one person participating in the assessment and selection, and if your skills are not as good as others, you may not be selected.

Luo Jixun has always been trained in the direction of martial arts. Now, the northern border is peaceful and there is no war, so there is no place for him to use his skills.

Marquis Zhenyuan wanted Luo Jixun to enter the inner court first.

This is not just a selection, it also requires the emperor's consent.

Marquis Zhenyuan had not told anyone about his plan, but this happened in his mansion.

When did he lose all his authority in the mansion? He wanted the entire Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion to keep a low profile, and no one would listen to a word he said!

Just when Marquis Zhenyuan was full of anger, the old lady walked in.

"My Lord, that Jiang is simply a jinx! She wanted to die to prove her innocence, it has nothing to do with Xun'er! Xun'er is not to blame for this!"

"Isn't it Xun'er's fault? Then it's your fault?" Zhenyuan Hou was furious and asked directly.

"How can you blame me?" The old lady was not to be outdone and replied loudly.

"Why did you go to the birthday party at Prime Minister Qin's residence to provoke the Crown Prince's wife? And you brought Jiang along! What did I tell you before? I told you to keep a low profile, so how did you do it?"

"Keep a low profile, keep a low profile! I think you're old, and you know how to behave like a coward! Do you know what's happened recently? Have you seen our account book? Do you know how much money we've lost in the past month? Ji Chuhe is almost taking away all the business in our shop! If things keep going like this, our shop will just have to close!"

"It doesn't matter if the shop makes less money. You have so many fields, mountains, and farms in your mansion. If those few shops don't make money, can they starve you to death? Jiang is still Xun'er's mother after all. You actually instigated Xun'er to force his mother to death. If this matter leaks out, Xun'er's future will be completely ruined!"

"Damn Jiang! Let's see if there will be a single day of peace in our house after she marries in!"

"That's enough! You stupid woman, how do you know my plan? If you continue to be so unreasonable, the housekeeper power will be handed over to Jiang!"

"You! You are totally crazy!" Although the old lady was furious, she was still afraid.

"If I find out that you bully Jiang again, the housekeeper power will be handed over to Jiang immediately, and you will move to another courtyard to recuperate!"

"You...you..." The old lady was so angry that she couldn't speak.

The quarrel between the two soon spread throughout the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.

The servants were talking about it.

"The Second Madam has been unable to hold her head up high in the mansion for so many years, why is the Marquis suddenly going to hand over the power of housekeeper to the Second Madam?"

"Who knows? I'm really afraid that I'll have to listen to the Second Madam in the future! If she gains power, those who have offended her in the past will be in big trouble."

"Who says it's not true? Even if we haven't offended her, we haven't shown our faces in front of her, so good things won't happen to us."

"Alas, the old lady is old after all, and this family will be handed over to the second lady sooner or later."

Although everyone seemed to be chatting casually, they already had their own ideas in mind.

Jiang originally thought that since she did not die and returned to the mansion, everyone in the mansion would be even more disgusted with her, especially the old lady, who would never let her go.

She was ready to be tortured in various ways.

Unexpectedly, the court doctor came with a medicine box to treat her injuries.

Although the wound on her neck did not cause fatal damage, it did cause a cut and caused a lot of bleeding. Before the court physician came, she simply tied it tightly with a handkerchief to stop the bleeding, and she didn't even dare to let the maid go to the court physician to get medicine.

"Second Madam, the bleeding has stopped. Apply some medicine and bandage it. Don't twist your neck casually. The wound will heal soon. This is the best medicine in the mansion. Back then, the second young master used this medicine when he was fighting outside." The mansion doctor's tone carried an unprecedented hint of flattery.

Jiang was a little confused. The court doctor's attitude towards her had never been so nice as it was now.

After all, this court doctor is related to the old lady.

She usually has to be polite.

"Second Madam, I will come to change your dressing tomorrow. If you feel uncomfortable, send someone to call me immediately."

"Thank you." Jiang responded politely.

"Second Madam, please don't say that. This is what I should do."

After the court doctor left, the kitchen manager came over in person.

Behind her followed a maid who was holding a food box in her hand, from which a rich aroma wafted.

"Second Madam, I heard that you were injured, so I asked the kitchen to stew a chicken for you. This is a chicken that we have been feeding with medicinal herbs on our farm. It is very nourishing!"

"Isn't this kind of chicken specially provided for the old lady? No, my injury is not a problem." Jiang Shi didn't dare to accept it and quickly refused.

A hint of fear involuntarily flashed in his eyes.

Is this a trap set deliberately by the old lady?

If she ate the chicken, the old lady would have a reason to punish her.

The housekeeper looked at Jiang's appearance and immediately understood what she was worried about. She was trying to please Jiang with good intentions and must not let Jiang misunderstand her.

"Second Madam, you don't know that too many chickens were delivered this month, and the old lady had already gotten tired of eating them, so she rewarded a few to me. How could I deserve such good things? I specially had them slaughtered and stewed and sent to Second Madam. I hope Second Madam will not refuse this gift from me." The kitchen manager said with a flattering look on his face.

"So that's how it is. Then I'll accept it." Jiang no longer refused.

She couldn't afford to offend any of the managers in the mansion.

"Please enjoy your meal, Madam. I will take my leave now."

"Manager, take care." Jiang's tone was still polite.

As soon as the steward left, the maid Yingqiu opened the food box.

Inside was a whole porcelain pot, filled to the brim with chicken and chicken soup.

"Second Madam, this pot is so big, it really looks like a whole chicken. And this chicken is as valuable as ginseng! You have been in the mansion for so many years, and you haven't been able to eat one."

Jiang couldn't help but feel sad.

The old lady always talks about thriftiness.

But in the end, she was the only one in the whole house who needed to be frugal.

Not to mention that she has never eaten such a precious chicken.

On weekdays, she only eats simple meals.

She could only have a good meal at family dinners or when Luo Heng was with her.

However, Luo Heng only had meals with her a few times a month.

He was busy with social engagements outside, or, after returning home, he was called to accompany the old lady for dinner.

"Second Madam, let me get the bowls and chopsticks. You haven't had a good meal in the past two days!" Yingqiu hurried to prepare.

While Jiang was drinking the bowl of chicken soup, tears as big as beans kept falling into the bowl.
