Chapter 272 The Old Lady Finds Trouble
Chapter 272 The Old Lady Finds Trouble
In the eyes of old Mrs. Kang, all the money in the Marquis's Mansion belonged to her.
Now Chen Geng had embezzled money behind her back. To old Mrs. Kang, this was like her own dog turning around and biting her hard. How could she not be angry?
"Go, beat that bastard to death with a stick, and sell out all his family members." Old Mrs. Kang said viciously.
Aunt Xu quickly agreed. She had been serving old Madam Kang and naturally knew how much she loved money. She could give it to you, but if you stole it behind her back, that would touch the old lady's sore spot.
"Madam, the Third Lady picked out your people today to make an example of them. I'm afraid the other stewards will be afraid of her." said Madam Xu.
Old Kang snorted coldly. As the saying goes, you have to look at the owner before beating a dog.
The way Jiang dealt with Chen Geng today clearly showed that she did not take herself, her elder, seriously. In that case, don't blame her.
"Go and inform Mrs. Jiang and ask her to come see me." said Mrs. Kang.
"Yes!"
In the Green Shadow Garden, ever since Chen Geng was dealt with, no matter what Jiang said afterwards, the stewards and the maids remained silent.
"Let's stop here today, but you all must remember to be more careful in what you do in the future. If you still have ulterior motives, don't blame me for not giving you a chance!"
"Yes!" Everyone expressed their opinion.
"Everyone go away, everyone in the accounting office should go back and wait for me."
After meeting these managers and maids, Jiang still had to go to the accounting office.
After hearing this, Accountant Zhang broke out in a cold sweat. Was the Third Madam going to continue taking action against the accountant's people?
Isn't it me who will be the first to be affected?
But he had no way to refuse, so he could only return to the accounting office feeling extremely uneasy.
Su Qingwan accompanied Jiang out, and when she touched her hands, she found that her hands were covered in cold sweat.
"Mom, you were awesome today!" Su Qingwan curled her lips and smiled. Jiang's performance today was much better than she had expected.
Especially when dealing with Chen Geng, he showed no mercy at all. This alone was enough to make those managers who were still planning to do evil stop their actions.
After hearing her daughter's praise, Jiang's heart gradually calmed down.
In fact, she had been very nervous today, thinking that if she failed to subdue this group of stewards today, the people in their third room would definitely be bullied by the people in the mansion in the future.
For the sake of her three children, she couldn't let this group of people who flattered the powerful and looked down on the weak do anything wrong under her nose, but fortunately, she felt pretty good about giving orders, although she couldn't help feeling a little worried at the moment.
The person Qingwan said she wanted to deal with before was not Chen Geng, but now that he was dealt with by me in advance, I am afraid that it will ruin Qingwan’s plan.
"Qingwan, I shouldn't have been so impulsive just now." Jiang said regretfully.
"Mom, he jumped out on his own. If you hadn't dealt with him in that situation, those people wouldn't have taken you seriously. They might have done more hypocritical things in the future, so you did a great job."
"But he is the old lady's man. I'm afraid the old lady won't let it go." Jiang said worriedly.
"It doesn't matter. Grandmother Kang will definitely ask the reason. Mother, just tell her the truth. Could it be that she wants to protect the things that she has embezzled?"
Su Qingwan understood Mrs. Kang's character, and she would not allow these people to steal things from the Marquis' Mansion behind her back.
Chen Geng violated her taboo without realizing it, and it seemed that he would not survive.
"What you said makes sense." Jiang felt much better after hearing her daughter's comfort.
As soon as the mother and daughter walked outside the Green Shadow Garden, they ran into Liu who came out of Changchun Garden. Her face was not looking good either.
Because of Chen Geng's accidental behavior, none of the people she had arranged to make things difficult for Jiang Shi actually stood up to cause trouble. Instead, Jiang Shi gained prestige today.
"I didn't realize that my third brother's wife's housekeeper does have some tricks up her sleeve, but they're too vicious. She's not afraid that once it gets outside, people will say that the master of our marquis's mansion is mean to his servants." Liu said sarcastically.
"Aunt, that's better than a servant bullying his master! When you were the housekeeper, didn't you notice what Chen Geng did? If you calculate it all, he has spent a lot of money from the Marquis' Mansion. I don't know how much money can be recovered!"
"Hey! No wonder you always complained that the palace was poor. With such a fat, white borer around, the Marquis's Mansion must be poor!"
Su Qingwan sneered.
Liu was so angry that her head hurt. How could she not know?
But it was the old lady who asked Chen Geng to do it, and all the money went to the old lady. He wanted to get rid of Chen Geng, but how could the old lady agree?
But now Jiang has touched the old lady's people, let's see how the old lady will deal with her!
"Your mother has sharp eyes. She even found such a borer. She is really amazing."
After Liu gave a false compliment, she turned and left, but after walking a few steps, she met a nanny from Rong'an Hall.
She immediately became happy and thought: Look! The old lady is here!
Jiang and Su Qingwan also saw the nanny walking over.
"Madam San, the old lady asks you to go to Rong'an Hall now!"
Jiang couldn't help but get nervous, but after taking a deep breath, she calmed herself down and said, "Okay, I'll be there right away."
Su Qingwan wanted to go with her, but Jiang shook her head and said, "Qingwan, go back and rest first. Mother will be back soon."
"it is good!"
Su Qingwan nodded.
With Aunt Rong accompanying Jiang, she was not worried that her mother would be bullied.
The news that Jiang was called over for questioning by the old lady after meeting the steward spread throughout the mansion in an instant.
The stewards and maids, who had just felt sympathetic, began to watch again.
"I'm afraid the Third Madam will have to hand over the housekeeper's power this time. Who told her to get rid of Steward Chen right away?"
"Then do as she tells you? Or wait a minute."
"Let's wait and see. Who knows, the eldest lady might have to take charge of the family again. We should just carry on as usual."
"I told you, she's not from a rich family, how can she know anything about housekeeping?"
Everyone was talking about it, but Jiang didn't hear any of it. She was sitting in Rong'an Hall at the moment.
After the old lady called her over, she didn't say anything. She just sat on the soft chair drinking tea and eating snacks, as if she didn't see Jiang.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Jiang Shi didn't say anything either.
Jiang was a quiet person and didn't feel the need to say anything.
Seeing Jiang's calm expression, Madam Xu couldn't help but admire her secretly. She was really able to keep her composure. If it were the first or second lady, facing such a situation, they would have been anxious and panicked.
Old Mrs. Kang narrowed her eyes and glanced at Mrs. Jiang. Seeing her sitting there with a meek expression, she instantly became even angrier.
Jiang slapped me in the face in public today, but now that he sees me, not only does he not admit his mistake, he actually looks calm.
"You are so patient!"
