Chapter 60 Quarrel

The father and daughter talked for a long time before they separated. Zhao Chunxi walked back with brain full of thoughts, and suddenly saw a lot of craftsmen on the west end, who were taking measurements with soft rulers and other objects, and used white lime to mark the flower beds, rockeries and gardens that need to be demolished one by one, it seemed that construction would start soon. A few stewards from the west end stood by the side to supervise the map drawn by Madam, and could vaguely hear words such as “hurry up, don’t delay, add more money”, which showed how urgent they were with the idea of getting rid the Ye family.

“Miss, are we really going to divide the mansion?” Hexiang and Xueliu stared blankly for a while, their faces filled with confusion, and their hearts felt even more terrified.

“Guan… What mother said, have it ever fail to come through?” Zhao Chunxi stared into the distance, and her tone was deep, “The action is so fast, even the map has already drawn, the craftsman only needs to build following the map, as fast as one month, as slow as two months, this wall can be built. Do you believe that she devised the plan at the last minute? Hexiang, you are right, we just took one step, and she has finished the next ninety-nine steps. My maternal grandfather, Ye family, daddy, and even the scene where Wangshu and I have to live together with others, afraid she had expected it a long time ago, and then tore it clean one step at a time, without being touch by the dust at all, but took all the good reputation. Look at me Daddy, grandmother, second aunt, who doesn’t admire her and trust her? She has just come to the Marquis Mansion for more than half a month, and she has made herself the absolute ruler of this place. Whether you want it or not, you have to be lead by the nose by her, and in the end, you have to deeply grateful.”

Hexiang and Xueliu lowered their heads and did not dare to talk, but they also had a deep fear for Madam in their hearts.

“Even if you don’t want to accept it, you have to accept it!” Zhao Chunxi smiled miserably, “If something happens to daddy, Wangshu and I will have to rely on her to live in the future, and there won’t be any benefit at all if we work against her. In fact, I myself have forgotten why I wanted to target her in the first place, indeed one step wrong, every steps wrong.” Of course, it was for the sake of her mom, but looking at it now, she felt that it was not worth it.

“Miss, you’re right to think so.” Hexiang carefully pointed out, “Don’t think that Madam’s method is just to divide the mansion into east and west, break down the east house, and preserve the west house. In fact, there are other things in here. She took into account the people’s hearts of the two mansion, follows her then chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, and do not follows means living a miserable life. Although the houses were divided, the servants of the two houses would only respect her more than the masters they served. If she wants to deal with you, she doesn’t need to set foot in the East Mansion, and there are countless people who can scheme for her. Indeed the arm can’t twist the thigh, you can, you can admit it for the time being.”

“Admit it, why don’t I admit it?” Zhao Chunxi shook her head and sighed, “You first-class maids are the most useful people around me, and your monthly silver is paid from my account, so you don’t have to worry about it in the future. Let’s go, let’s go back and have a look.”

Hexiang and Xueliu let out a long sigh of relief, but they also understood that the more the eldest miss was like this, the more Madam had the upper hand. Lifting up a few maids higher would only make the people below them even more unwilling and eager to move. But they also have to live, so they didn’t mention it.

Zhao Chunxi talked big, but her heart was actually bleeding. Her life had always been extravagant, and the monthly cost of 80 taels as Guan Suyi said was still counted as the minimum limit. In fact, with only buying one jewelry, the monthly expenses were more than 1,000 taels. The monthly silver could never be saved, and she had to find Daddy subsidizes, so there was not much money left in the account.
