Daily life of the mistress

Chapter 7: Guarding the Underlings

Qin looked at the son she had raised with great care with disappointment. After saying her last words, she no longer cared about him and just took Lu Lingjun away.

    Lu Lingjun stayed with Qin in her room and talked to her for a long time, patiently comforting her.

    When leaving, Qin looked at Lu Lingjun as if she were her own daughter and became much more intimate with her.

    She also asked Nanny Wen to take a lot of things, and told Lu Lingjun that if he needed anything in the future, he could just withdraw it himself.

    If you don’t understand something in the future, just go to Nanny Wen directly. If your subordinates don’t understand something, they can also go to Nanny Wen to learn.

    This means that Lu Lingyun was given the real power to be the head of the family.

    This is different from the previous life when Lu Hanyi was only given the right key to manage the household.

    In a big family, people are the core of power; cards, keys, and account books are just superficial.

    Those who control the core things of the family are all from the Qin family. Lu Hanyi only has the power to watch but not the power to move.

    Such a large mansion is actually the territory of different masters everywhere.

    The servants in the Marquis' Mansion are divided into two major factions. One category is the descendants of the Marquis' Mansion who have been born in the family for generations. These people have been members of the Marquis' Mansion for generations and are the most loyal to the Marquis' Mansion. They are the main servants of the Marquis' Mansion. They usually manage the farms, shops, fields and properties in the outer houses. These are the people of the old Marquis.

    The other category is Madam Qin's people. Most of them are dowry brought by Qin from her natal family. After these people come, they will gradually take over the management of the inner house, including the head nanny, the teaching nanny, the accountant, the warehouse, and the personnel manager. In short, they are the people who control the core of the inner house.

    Now that Qin has released her power, Nanny Xu Wen is helping her to lead the people, asking Lu Lingjun to slowly put his own people into the Marquis' Mansion.

    This is a real recognition of her.

    Of course, Lu Lingjun couldn't just replace all the people at the beginning, she wasn't at that point yet.

    The Marquis's Mansion is not hers yet.

    Lu Lingjun was very smart. She thanked Qin sincerely, gave her a promise, and then, with Qin's satisfaction, she came out of her room. A group of maids and servants bowed respectfully to Lu Lingjun.

    Everyone acknowledged that she was the new mistress of the Marquis' Mansion.

    In this world, a husband's favor is not absolute, but no matter when, a woman with real power and enough gold and silver will be truly respected wherever she goes.

    Lu Lingyun looked at the respectful servants and said to Nanny An, "Madam An, please go back and make some red envelopes and ask the other courtyards to come to our courtyard to collect the wedding money. Everyone has worked hard for me. Order another 200 kilograms of pork and 100 live chickens to send to the kitchen. The money can be taken from our warehouse. Let's add a dish for everyone today."

    As Lu Lingjun finished speaking, the servants in the mansion spoke in unison.

    "Thank you Madam!"
