Chapter 165 Storm 2
As for Prime Minister Qin, his face became gloomier the more he listened to this. He was already busy with official duties, and so many problems were happening at home.
The more Qin Qianbai listened, the more anxiously he began to sweat. It was true that he was the one who gave the farm as a gift, but he didn't know that it was his wife's dowry farm. He just heard that Rou'er liked that piece of land, so he gave it to her casually. He also had a lot of private property, so how could he remember so much?
Besides, it’s just a farm. Why should my daughter be so fussy about it? Just like what Rou’er always said, she is as stingy and fussy as her mother.
Prime Minister Qin knew that his son had always been confused, but he had no idea that he was so confused that he dared to use his wife's dowry and even give her rewards. He didn't believe that his son was so cowardly that he dared to do such a thing. He really underestimated the pillow talk. His eyes moved to the seductively dressed woman in front of him.
He could foresee that someone in the court tomorrow would use this as an excuse to accuse him of not managing his household properly. He was already old, and there were already many people eyeing his position. Although he had long wanted to retire, it would be a shame for him to leave the court for such a ridiculous reason.
He angrily threw a teacup in front of his son, and it instantly shattered into pieces. He glanced at the two people in front of him, "What do you have to say in your defense?"
Qin Xiang's eyes seemed to have substance, and Concubine Ye was also very flustered, but she couldn't help but defend herself, "If I had known that the eldest lady didn't like me, there was no need to slander me like this. The manor was a reward from the master, and I didn't know it was the lady's dowry. Wuwuwu... If I had known, I would not have accepted it no matter what I said, wuwuwu..."
"And that Madam Qiutong was also guilty of stealing things from my room. She was a dishonest person. I only sent her to the farm for the sake of my late wife," said Aunt Ye, covering her face with a handkerchief and pretending to cry a few times.
Qin Qianbai had been dissatisfied with his daughter recently, and after hearing that the old woman was sent away for a reason, he also chimed in: "It's just a farm, Dad will compensate you. You are just like your mother, stingy and calculative."
Qin Yuehua felt a lump in her throat when she heard her father's words. She was about to retort, but Nanny Qiutong held her hand and moved faster than her. She took a step forward and knelt in front of her grandfather.
"Please ask the old master to transfer the farms, farms, shops, indentures of employees and other things under the control of the lady to the eldest daughter. The eldest daughter is about to come of age and should learn to manage household affairs. There is no need to trouble Madam Ye to give orders to the master."
"And what Madam Ye said, that this old slave has dirty hands and feet, but please forgive me for the sake of the late Madam. May I ask, Madam Ye, what did this slave steal from you?"
Bride Ye thought to herself, "What is it?" This was just an excuse for her to take the old woman away. It wasn't anything.
But now, she had to make one up, so her eyes turned, and she thought of an ordinary object, she said: "Xianglu, you broke into my room and stole my Hundred Flowers Xianglu, that Xianglu is a rare and precious thing, I specially customized it for Baihuafang."
Nanny Qiutong asked Aunt Ye again, "Aunt, are you really sure that this old servant stole your Hundred Flowers Fragrance Dew?"
Aunt Ye said firmly: "Yes, Mrs. Feng from the kitchen can testify to it."
Qin Xiang gave a look, and soon Qin Shun arranged for someone to drag Mrs. Feng over.
When Mrs. Feng came, she heard what the butler said. Although she was afraid of the old master, she was already on the same boat with Concubine Ye. There was no point in turning against her, so why not... She stammered, "Concubine Ye is right. It was this old Qiu Tong... The old nanny stole the fragrant dew, so the old servant took her away overnight."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Ye was delighted, but her face seemed even more aggrieved. She looked at Qin Qianbai eagerly.
When Qin Qianbai heard what Mrs. Feng from the kitchen said, he was sure that his daughter did not know people well and that the old woman Qiu Tong had indeed stolen something.
So he straightened his chest and looked at Qin Xiang and said: "Dad, you think Rouer is right. She is just doing her job."
As he spoke, he turned around and looked at his daughter who was kneeling behind him, "I've been telling you, my daughter, your mother is so stingy. I didn't expect that the old woman next to her is also so ignorant of etiquette. She is just like your mother. It's true that what goes around comes around."
He still felt it was not enough, and continued to educate her: "Yuehua, according to father's opinion, just sell her directly. We in the Qin Mansion cannot tolerate a petty thief servant. Look, we have led you astray. You used to be so gentle and obedient, why have you been so fussy these days? It must be this servant who instigated it."
Qin Yuehua no longer wanted to look at her father or listen to his words. She felt that if she continued to listen, she would soon follow in her mother's footsteps.
Qin Xiang was still worried about his granddaughter, but he didn't show it on his face. How could he not see through such a small plot in the inner chamber? He just wanted to see how far his son would go and how his granddaughter would deal with it.
"Hahahaha..." Nanny Qiutong suddenly laughed sneerfully, "How funny! Aunt Ye probably doesn't know about the family business of the lady from Baihuafang. It's hilarious! If I wanted to use the perfume, would I have to run to your room to steal it?"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Ye's face froze. She really didn't know about this. She just thought that the Hundred Flowers Dew was precious and easy to frame. Since the bottle was not found, she could also say that the nanny had used it up and thrown it away.
When Qin Qianbai heard this, his back, which had been stiff for just a few minutes, collapsed instantly. He lowered his head, not daring to look at his father anymore, thinking to himself, "It's over, it's over."
Prime Minister Qin also felt that it was about time. He said in a deep voice: "Qianbai, from today onwards, all the farms, shops and servants' contracts under Yuehua's mother will be handed over to Yuehua to manage. You don't have to worry about them anymore."
Although Qin Qianbai was dissatisfied, he could only respond "yes" obediently.
Prime Minister Qin then ordered: "Sell Mrs. Feng from the kitchen."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Feng cried out, "Old Master, no, no, I am already an old servant in the mansion." She cried so hard that her snot came out and dripped onto the black mole on the corner of her lip, making her look ugly.
Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Qin showed no mercy and instead said, "Sell out their entire family."
At the command, a servant outside the door immediately dragged Mrs. Feng out, and the wailing gradually faded away.
Prime Minister Qin looked at Aunt Ye, thought for a moment, and then said slowly: "As for you, you have been making trouble in the mansion all day long, causing no peace here. I didn't pay much attention to you because you gave birth to a son for the Qin family and I was busy with official duties. But you are getting more and more excessive. From today on, you will not be in charge of anything in the mansion."
Aunt Ye was even more shocked when she heard this. How could this be possible? She had finally taken charge of half of the affairs in the mansion. Without these, how could she order the servants under her and make money? This couldn't be allowed.
She could only use her trump card, she said: "Old Master, do you know that this young lady is no longer a virgin?"
