Chapter 249: Stewardship Obtained
After Su Yunrou came back, the first thing she said was to ask about the matching key. Everyone looked at her.
She changed into an ice blue dress and even changed her hair accessories.
Su Qingwan didn't know what the two people said after she left, but looking at the look on King Qi's face, he obviously felt that the story of Su Yunrou killing Su Yuejie was fabricated by him.
"Second sister, grandfather thought that my aunt was in poor health and had limited energy, so he handed over the housekeeping power of the Marquis' Mansion to my mother. From now on, my mother will be the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion." Su Qingwan smiled with her eyes curved.
Su Yunrou was shocked!
She was only away for a while, and when she came back, her mother had lost her housekeeping power?
But from what Su Qingwan said, it seemed that the person who made this decision was his grandfather.
She knew that after her father lost his official position, her grandfather had long been planning to take away her mother's power to manage the family, and now this plan had finally come to light.
After hearing this, Liu felt a sharp pain in her heart, and she must find a way to take back the power of the family.
Xiaokang was also indignant. The old marquis was obviously partial to her and the power to be the head of the family should belong to her.
"I see! Third Aunt, if you have any questions in the future, you can always ask my mother for advice."
Su Yunrou raised Liu's status. Even if she was Jiang's housekeeper, she still had to ask her mother for advice when she encountered problems.
By then, the servants in the Marquis' Mansion will understand that the real head of the family is still the First Lady, and the Third Lady is just a puppet.
"Don't worry, if that time really comes, we will send people to Tinglan Courtyard to question you." Su Qingwan said lightly and pulled Liu down again.
Sending someone to ask questions is not the same as asking for advice. There is a huge difference between the two.
Liu was so angry that she closed her eyes and tried hard to suppress her anger.
Let Jiang mother and daughter be arrogant now. Do they really think they can control the entire mansion with just their mouths?
What a joke! She wanted to see what Jiang was capable of.
Su Yunrou glanced at her grandfather gently. The old man was chatting with the King of Qi and looked as if he didn't hear what they were saying.
Seeing this, Su Yunrou had no choice but to give up!
Su Lihan had been in a bad mood until Su Yunrou got humiliated. Then she became happy and turned her eyes to King Qi again. She was about to do something to attract his attention, but she saw that King Qi had already stood up and left.
Leaving now?
I haven't even had a chance to speak to the King of Qi!
Su Lihan anxiously pushed Xiaokang, wanting her to do something to keep the person. However, Xiaokang saw that the power of housekeeper that she had obtained was slipping away, so she had no mood to do anything else. She just followed everyone else to pay tribute to the King of Qi.
Su Lihan was extremely upset, but there was nothing she could do.
Su Qingwan saw him leaving in such a hurry and understood that he was just going back to prepare the things she wanted, or to prepare how to kill herself.
But he left in such a hurry that he didn't even say a few words to Su Yunrou.
As soon as the King of Qi left, the dinner naturally ended and everyone went their separate ways.
Su Yunrou was afraid that Su Qingwan would say something she shouldn't, so she helped Liu back in a hurry.
Liu originally wanted to go see Su Yuejie, but it was too late now, so she decided to go tomorrow.
Su Yunrou returned to her yard with a worried heart. After sitting on the couch, she realized that her hands were cold.
Looking at these hands, she was a little dazed. She didn't expect that she could actually do it.
Su Yuejie's death bought her at least one year of respite. As long as her mother found out about her elder brother's death, she could write to the palace and ask the emperor to postpone her wedding with Prince Rui.
"Second Miss, let me take care of you and let you rest." Zijuan came in and said.
"Prepare some water. I want to take a bath."
Su Yunrou could smell the medicine from Su Yuejie's room on her body. She didn't like the smell and had to wash it off.
Xiaokang, who returned to her own yard, was so angry that she started cursing.
That bitch Jiang must have done something secretly to make the Marquis give her the power of housekeeper.
I didn't expect that!
People who seem lukewarm at ordinary times may actually be working hard behind the scenes.
Su Lihan, who came in with her, cried very sadly. His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi didn't even look at her today. Her grandfather was partial to her.
She is so sad!
Su Yueqi listened to the mother and daughter's movements, and for the first time understood why his father would rather go out to visit friends and never come back.
"Mom, the matter of Third Aunt being the housekeeper is a foregone conclusion. Instead of complaining here, you should think about how to prevent her from being able to manage this family."
Su Yueqi's words instantly reminded Xiao Kang.
That's right!
It doesn't matter that Jiang got the power of housekeeper. If she can manage it, it means she is really capable. Otherwise, the power of housekeeper is only in her hands temporarily and will become hers sooner or later.
"Brother, what should I do? King Qi doesn't even look at me, wuwuwu..." Su Lihan cried very sadly.
Su Yueqi felt a headache from her crying, and a look of impatience flashed across his round face.
"What's there to cry about? Even if the King of Qi likes Su Yunrou, so what? It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. When I pass the imperial examination, the King of Qi will definitely let you enter the palace."
Su Lihan wiped her tears. What her brother said made sense. As long as she entered Prince Qi's Mansion, she might not be defeated by Su Yunrou.
In the third house, Su Qingwan accompanied Jiang back to Helin Courtyard.
Su Zhiru naturally came as well. He wanted to go directly to Yuanning Pavilion, but Jiang had just taken on the power of housekeeper, so he had to give her a few words of advice.
"Madam, my father has asked you to be in charge of the household affairs of the Marquis' Mansion. You need to be careful and attentive, so as not to let the people from the other two families find fault with you." Su Zhiru said.
Today, the old marquis handed over the housekeeping power to Jiang, which was beyond his expectation. Jiang had never been in charge of a household, and it was usually Su Qingwan who took care of those affairs.
"With Qingwan helping me, they can't say anything." Jiang replied indifferently. She was trying hard not to think about Su Zhiru, or even to look at him.
Su Qingwan understood why her mother did this. It was like a withdrawal syndrome, completely pulling her away from her father.
She didn't expect Jiang to be so cruel this time. She really didn't even look at Su Zhiru tonight.
As for my father, he hasn't realized this yet. I wonder what his reaction will be when he finds out.
After listening to Jiang's words, Su Zhiru knew that Su Qingwan would definitely help Liu. He wanted to remind the two of them not to be too ostentatious, but after thinking about it, he gave up.
His daughter won't listen to him!
"Madam, you take a rest. I'll go over there and take a look." After Su Zhiru finished speaking, he walked out.
Seeing this, Jiang felt a pain in her heart again and her eyes turned slightly red. It seemed that she was still unable to be so hard-hearted as to have no reaction.
Just as Su Zhiru reached the door, he saw Qiu Feng running towards him. When he saw him, he immediately knelt down and begged:
"Third Master, please save Aunt Song!"
